BEND, - ' OREQON

Can water be obtained by sink
ing deep wells in this section of
Central Oregon? That is the ques
tion which has interested Bend citi
zens and all residents throughout
Western Crook county for the last
few years, and Frank Lovcland of
Madras is determined to find an
answer to he inquiry an answer
of so great importance to the de
velopment of Crook county, partic
ularly the Haystack country and
those sections where irrigation is
impossible.
Mr. Iovcianu has just purchased
a isoo-foot drilling machine. It is
the largest and best drilling outfit
ever brought into this part of the
Mate. The first work with the new
drill will be for J Strain on the
north cud of Agency Plains, where
lie will drill for water. Afterwards
Mr. Lovcland expects to o to the
Haystack country, to continue a
hole which was started there two
years ago on the Dave Harnett
place to prospect for oil. The indi
cations of oil. a th(it place arc said
to be unusually strong, and the
pr'ospcc hole will be drilled to some
depth in search for it
Later the machine will be moved
to Madras and drilling will be re
sumed on the fumous "hot air"
well, which is now down 159 feet.
It is believed an abundance of fine
water will be found there within an
other hundred feet.
Many who have studied condi
tions through Central Oregon, be
lieve that artesian wells can be ob
tained hi many places by drilling
far enough. r the Gilchrist and
Price valleys in the southeastern
par; o,v Crook county, flowing wells
have already been, obtained, aud
many other localities n the county
give strong indications of artesian
well possibilities. Que of these is
the Haystack country.
Iq ihc,5unim,er 0,1 9,03, a crew of
Unite States geological surveyors
made a trip through this part of
the 5ntc and the result of their
work is given in an interesting gov-
cru,rocnt bulletin entitled, "Prelim

open-textured deposits beneath the sur
face sheet of basalt, there is a possibility
that water pressure may exist, but an
answer to this question can only be had
by drilling test wells.
"One conclusion reached during my
hasty visit which maybe welcome to the
residents of the region is tlmf the con
ditions favoring agriculture are there
so great that unus.il efforts are justified
in attempting to supply the demand for
water."
Discussing water conditions in
PrmeviIIe and vicinity, the report
takes notice that at the time wells
were drilled to furnish water for
Prineville the water rose "three to

WILLIAM PUGH KILLED BY JOHN DELL
Saloon Urawl Ends In Death of 69
Year-Old Man-Dell Bound Over
to drand Jury.
William Pugb, an old man 69
years of age, who lives near Paul
ina, was assaulted by JohnF. Dell
at Princville fast Friday afternoon
aud died Tuesday from the injuries
received'.
Pugb was a quiet, peaceful old
fellow but bad been at Prineville
for a few days and had been drink
ing, according to reports. Friday
about two o'clock be entered the
Opera saloon and, stepping bchiud
the bar, oscd for a cigar. Dell,
who bad been left in charge of the
saloon while the proprietor went to
dinner, repljed, "I'll give you a
cigar" and grabbed the old man
and threw him out the door. He
fell on bis back with his feet in the
$a!oon. Del ben picked bim up
bv his ankles and iambed his bead
and shoder$ several times on the
sidewalk, finally pushing the body
away front him so that the head
was bent forward onto the chest as
the body tpnpled over. Injuries
resulting frqnj i"his caused the old
man's death. Pugb was a small
man, weighing only about no
pounds, while Dell is a large, heavy,
six-footer.
Evidence Introduced before the
coroner's jtyry brought forth the
above facts. An autopsy showed
that the spinal column bad been
wrenched apart between the sixth
and seventh vertebrae so that the
spinal cord was plainly visible. The
ry's verdict was" that Pugh bad
met his death at the hands of one,
John T. Pell, and also recom
menced (hat Dell be bound over to
thp granjl, jury without the privilege
nt toil.
Pell has the reputation of being
a nuarlsome bully and has repeated
ly been mixed up in assaults on men
smaller thau himself, and the feel
ing at Prineville against Dell is
very bitter. Pugh came from Liver
pool, Kuglaud, many years ago aud
ns far as is known, has no relatives
in this country.
GET READY TO GRADE
Construction Gang at the
Mouth of Deschutes.
GRADING MACHINERY THERE
Evidence Plentiful that Oregon Trunk
Line Means Business Other Rail
road News of Importance.
The Oregon Trunk Line, the
railroad that is projected up thd
Deschutes river from its confluence
with the Columbia, is establishing
construction camps at the mouth of
the Deschutes and at Sherar'3
bridge, 34 miles up-river from the
Columbia. This is the latest news
of importance touching railroad
construction toward Bend.
W. H. Stonchochcr and W. A.
Tax, two Madras men who returned
from Tygh Valley with loads of
flour recently, reported that at
Shcrar's bridge they saw a number
of nicn who were camped there and
who were said to be a part of the
construction gang of the Oregon
Trunk Line. They were using- at.
old building at the bridge as a tem
porary bunk house.
At the same time, news is brought
that heavy grading machinery is
being unloaded at the mouth of the
Deschutes, and the belief is
general now that work wil begin
at once.
So far, every new development
seems to indicate that the in forma'
tion given out several weeks ago
was authentic, and that construc
tion of a line into central Oregon,
up the Deschutes river, is about to
begin.
Ipspctlngtlw Route.
Cbjef Engineer tVaggener of the
Orcgqn Short Liuc was in Bend
Saturday. Sunday morning be left
for the southwest stating that he
intended to proceed into the mount
ain? as far as the snow would per
mit. Some weeks ago the Burns
Times-Herald stated that surveyors
working under Mr. Waggener from
Ontariq, Jbrough yale to Burns
would rup one line from the latter
place toward Bend, and another
line to Lakeview. It also stated
that Mr. Waggener would foake an
inspection of the twq route. His
trip to Bend was with that qbjecf
in view, and undoubtedly bis sur
veyors will soon be working hi
this vicinity. Mr. Waggener will
return to Bend in a few days.

Work on Natron-Ontario Line.
The Vale Malheur Valjey
railway, which is a new line prq
jected from Ontario west, has com
menced construction and is build
ing from Ontario to Vale. A full
crew of Japs are laying ties and
irop,. Recently the "V" was placed
wherp it connects wjtlt the Oregon
Short it'll6! two Wiles south of
Ontario,. Jje Vale (Driano says all
of the grading crew near the eastern
terminus were put to work on a
part of unfinished work three miles
out, and are now across the Malheur
river where the most of the last five
miles is unfinished. The eradimr
crews will be in Vale inside of ten
days. The track layers will be
here ip twenty days. MalliFHF
bridge is being brought ott by
teams and will be in readiness wheu
the rails reach that point. It is
supposed that this road is really a
section of the Natron-Ontario line
across the state.
