ftdfty miles to the westwart the
people are to vote in June on an
amendment admitting the women
of our bordering state to the ballot.
Western people have always kept
ahead of older coinnvUuitjj-a flu such
the forthcoming election
that it c.hn be relied upon to main
tain the reputation that has been
won by the west for progressiveness
ou all such issues. Oregon men
shduld admit the women of the
state" to an equality with themselves
when the opportunity is presented
at the polls two months hence, thus
doing justice to the sex and afford
ing such additional encouragement
to those who arc struggling to bring
eastern states to full recognition of
the principles involved.
"Ond" West "Sees Things."
As every body knows "Dad"
West isn great booster for the
Deschutes valley and its products;
it is equally 'well known, that his
statements cau always be relied on;
that is, most always. "Dad" says
that there was a 16 foot Oregon
pine board lying in his front yard
last Sunday when the shower came
up. The bodrd Had been lying
there for a long time and its upper
surface was thoroughly dry. The
very minute, t)' rain struck the
board, with almost, Human intelli
gence it commenced to curve and
twist and in less than five seconds
by the watch "Dad" says it had
turned over onto the other side
This shows beyond question that
the dry side knew enough to
come in out of the rain. "Dad"
says he iTdshrec reliable witnesses
to this episode, and ,fuf Flier tlfiu he
had not even passed, by O' Kane's
since the night before.

Rapid Development of Des
chutes Country
FARA1 HOUSES SUBSTANTIAL
Many Improvements on Desert Where
n Pew Years ago Only Sage
Hrush Thrived.
Much new laud is being cultiva
ted both north and south of I3eud
thin year. North of IJcnd lies what
is known as the Powell buttcs dis
trict, one of the richest agricultural
communities in the Deschutes val
ley. The entire district extending
from the eastern extremity of the
buttcs to the old river channel, a
distance of eight miles, is one im
mense plowed field, broken only in
a few places. This plowed area is
being added to rapidly and inside of
a few weeks time all the available
and tillable laud in that section will
be producing.
Three years ago there were only
a couple of homes between Bend
and Priucvillc and other sign' ol
habitation were equally as scarce.
Now there arc many larce and sub
stantial dwelling houses, barns and
other out buildings, besides a school
house. In the last year a stage
station, a school and a postofficc
have been established in the center
of this district.
One of the most important irri
gation projects near Bend is the so
called Arnold ditch, constructed by
the Arnold Irrigation Company, a
corporation. It leaves the river be
low Lava island near the center of
the south west quarter of section 22,
township 18, range ir and passes
through a flume about one mile
long, six feet wide and two feet
deep, and with a fall of one-half
inch to the rod. About half a mile
of earth construction has been com
pleted. It will be necessary to cut
thrUugh a number of rock ledges
before further progress cau be made,
after which the work will be com
paratively light.
The capital.stock of the corpor
ation, which is all sold, is $5,000,
divided into 50 shares of $100 each.
Each slia,re represents 32 miner's
; 1 . .- 1 1
incites nu one miner's men per
second being the amount of water
appropriated to each acre. This
allows an amount of water ample to
reclaim the. land about one cubic
foot to each 40 acres. The ditch is
planned to serve two and one-half
sections or 1,600 acres.
The present officers of this com
pany are: W. J. McGillvray, Pres.
Arthur Ely, Sec., Ed Halverson
Treas. and J. E. Reed, Mgr. It is
expected that the main canal will
be completed this season.
Under this ditch lies a large
stretch of level desert, land which
hitherto has only produced a growth
of sage brush and a few scattering
junijers. Now many prosperous
rattches can be seen scattered over
this district.
The settlers here are starting out
as tuough they meant business.
They arc putting up good substan
tial houses that would be a credit
to many a western town. These
are not small shacks as so many
houses arc,' hi a new settlement,
but are .in some instances two
stories, being well oujlt, painted
and finished inside, and out.
Fences are being built, and new
roads and lanes made. These roads
are run on section hues, that they
may be permanent.
Less than two yea's ago one
could start south from Bend and go
from 25 to 30 miles and m all that
distance scarcely ,i house could be
found. N.aw', within 10 miles of
Bend, there are some 30 houSes,
and a great deal of laud is ,u(udier
cultivation. .,
W. J. McGillvray, who went ,on
to his ranch seven iuile&. South of
town about six mouths ago has just
completed a two story house 24x34.
The house is well finished and
painted. Mr McGjllvray has con
siderable land under .fcliltivatiou.,
. M ,.?av,IW.lfe.J.M9.GHvray
rancn coming toward town one
comes to the Wilson ranch, Here
is found a small but well built
dwelling house, with a large tract
of land in grain, mostly rye, which
is up and looks prosperous.
Next comes the Ferguson ranch.
Mr. Ferguson has a well built house
nicely painted and finished, with a
oarn, chicken house, a well and
ijood fences. He has some 10 acres
in grain and is clearing much more
'and this year.
The McKinnon and Smith ranch
es are next, where clearing and cul
tivation of the land is going on
rapidly.
Then comes the large Arnold
ranch, where about 200 acres arc
already in grain and much mote
land is being cleared.
The Moore ranch comes next
This is one of the newest ranches
on the road but already substantial
buildings are nearly completed and
quite a tract of laud has been
seeded.
Next comes the joint ranches of
Francis and Garrett where many
improvements have been made and
considerable land is cleared and
cultivated.
A. G. Ely's ranch is next. Here
wc find a small house and barn and
the land well fenced. Mr. Ely has
been slashing down the. trees and
clearing the underbrush, making
ready to plow his land this spring
He will soon construct a much
larger house than his present one.
The last two ranches arc com
paratively new and as yet little im
proving has been done, although a
good start has been made. These
arc the Ed Brostcrhous and HunucI
ranches.

IS BUYING RIGHT-OF-WAY
LINE UP DFSCHUTES TO BUILD AT ON'CE
To HuIId as Far as Medras at Once
Actual Construction Will Begin
Not Later Than May 10.
(Midiai I-tontcr, April ;.)
Central Oregon is going to be
tapped by a railroad at once, and
that road is coming up the Des
chutes rives from the Columbia.
This is the important information
brought on Monday by F. S. Gor
don, engineer for the Oregon Trunk
line, which is the name under which
the line will be built iuto Central
Oregon. Mr. Gordon is here now
buying right-of-way for the railway,
and actual construction work will
be begun not later than May 10.
The Oregon Trunk line is pro
moted by W. F. Nelson, of Seattle,
who built the Dufur road last year,
turn wno was Dclitnu the survey up
uic ucsciiutes river last winter.
Mr. Nelson has financed his railroad
project up the Deschutes, and there
is no doubt that work will be start
ed at once. Mr. Gordon is em
phatic in his statements that this
road wiil be built, and says that
Mr. Nelson has already rriven or
ders for the removal of his con
struction outfits to the mouth of
the Deschutes, under instructions
to begin work by the 5th of May.
He thinks however, that it may be
a week later before work begins.
At present Air. Gordon is secur
ing the right-of-way for the line.
The first eighteen miles of right-of-way
along the Deschutes was se
cured some weeks ago and the
deeds have already been filed for
record. Mr. Gordon secured deeds
for right-of-way through a number
of places lying on Willow creek
gorge between this place and the
Deschutes river, on Monday.
Among those from whom he bought
right-of-way are W. J. Cowherd
and J. E. Campbell aud .he has
closed with most of the owners on
the line along the Deschutes for
right-of-way through their lands.
Mr. Gordon says that the Oregon
Trunk line will be built up the Des
chutes river, coming up Willp,w
creek corce to tan the immense
wheat belt of this s.ectio,n,)lafia liiat
(rpmthis point the. rqad,will later
uc exepdctl on southward. Mad
ras is the present objective point.
It is not known with what railroad
the Oregon Trunk line is affiliated,
although it is assumed that Mr,
Nelson is building the line inde
pendently .of either the Harriman
t'oulluucdou page.
The complete returns from Crool;
county for the primary election held
lost Friday, are in, and show that
the region south of Crooked river
is well represented on the republi
can ticket, at least. Wm. Johnson

R. H. Bayley of Laidlaw, nominee
for commissioner; Earl Knight of
Redmond nominee for 'county sur
veyor and Dr. G. W. Ncwsorae of
Laidlaw nominee fdr coroner. As

less the unforscen occurs the re
