FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1906 With her fine new school house and with her teachers carrying off the honors in the final examina tions at the county teachers' insti tute, evidence is again produced showing that ltend's schooi ranks with the best in the county. Bend citizens believe in education and will maintain a school the efficiency of which will be amply adequate to satisfy the demauds of an exacting public. That love for ones life is not the domineering force in all, natures was sadly but beautifully illustrated at Davenport, Wash., last Sunday when five persons were drowned, four of them, one by one, going into the water to save their friends. One of the party got beyond her depth, was caught by a whirlpool and was in danger of drowning, Another went to her rescue, she was likewise caught in the swirling water ai'd rendered helpless. One by one the others followed and were overcome by the water and drowned. Heroes still live. What a refuta tion arc such acts as this to the oft heard statement of the pessimist that all human nature is preemi nently selfish. That adequate steps will always be taken to protect public health in Bend was amply shown this week when the board of health summar ily quarantined parties who persisted iu disregarding a quarantine. A case of scarlet fever had been im ported into Bend. As soon as this was known the patient was removed to a house in the edge of town, proper care was given him, and a quarantine instituted. A, few seemed to consider it their right to visit the sick room and receive let ters from the pntient. The board of health thought otherwise, with the result that those who had dis regarded the law, although not ill themselves, were also placed under quarantine. This should prove a salutary lesson. It demonstrates conclusively that the public health wili Be imply protected 111 Bend. A transaction that will help materially to iiasjen the .building ol railroads into Central Oregon was the sale Tuesday of the Oregon Central military raailand grant to a yndicdte of Kastent aud Califor nia capitalists.

This deal is but nuothcr evidence llmt the big railroad interests of the country intend to build into Cen tral Oregon nnd contains a pleasant promise for the rapid development of this great inland empire in the near future. The tract purchased includes that part of the old mili tary road grant extending cast from the Cascade range forest reserve across the state to the Idaho line, with the exception of that section lying within the Klamath reserva tion. It runs through Klamath, Lake, Harney nnd Malheur comi ties, and includes 500,000 ncres. The price is understood to be about $700,000. A colonization scheme of this size would never be attempt ed if railroad transportation in the near future was not assured. COAL IN PLACE 01" WOOD. May Creek Company Proposes to Fur nlsli Coat for Household Uses. The Hay Creek Coal Mine Com pany, which owns a number of coal prospects near Hay Creek, is mak ing preparations to place this coal upon the rriticville market during the coming winter, to take the place of the juniper wood which is used there now for fuel, says the Madras Pioneer. Thorough tests have been made and it is believed that the quality of the coal is good. Members of the company state that recent reports show their coal to be similar to the Rock Springs, Wy oming, coal. The coal vein is about three feet in thickness, and recent development work seems to indicate that these coal measures are exten sive enough to be of great impor tance. Arrangements arc being made to have coal hauled from the mines to Prineville, where it can be sold at about f, 10.50 per tou, which is the price at which Rock Springs coal is sold at the end of the railroad at Shaniko. Coal at $10 a ton is said to be as cheap as juniper wood at $6 per cord. The coal can be mined at an expense of not, to exceed $3 per ton, even with their present crude methods, and allowing $1 per ton for handling and sacking . and ?5-5 Pt'r t for hauling, there would still be a profit of $1 deliv ered iu Prineville at the Shaniko price. These are the figures at which the company bases its pres ent expressed intention of market ing coal at Prineville. The company is doing consider able development work at their property. A tunnel 160 feet long has been run under the vein, cut ting the vcjn at a depth of 160 feet below the cropping. They now plan to drift 100 feet along the vein. Like the Real Thins:. Madrat Moneer. When the big traction engine came puffing and blowing into Mad ras late Saturday evening, with headlight looming up aud whistle sounding for every crossing, it looked quite like the real thing, and one could almost imagine that W. P. Nelson's Oregon Trunk Line had stolen a night march and slipped in unawares. Mr. Nelson's road, by the way, is building right ahead, increasing the working force from day to day as laborers become available. From the road traction engine of to-duy to the railroad loc omotive running over the Oregon Trunk Line up the Deschutes may not be such a far cry after nil.

Home I Problems That Confront The Irrigator. Norn The following article is taken from "The I'tlmerof Irrigation" by I). II. Anderson, editor of "The Irrigation Age." Thin book contains much ,ilu able information anil should be iu the li brary of every Irrigator. It is published by the I). IT. Anderson rtibltshtng Com pany. Chicago. TAKINO T1U l.KVltl.. Taking the level of the surface of laud where irrigation is to bo prac tical is n very important mutter and too much care cannot be taken. Up on it depends the proper How of water in the ditches, the Hooding of laud and adequate drainage. The common methods of leveling are sufficient for irrigation on tut ordinary tract of laud, but for long canals and ditches miles in extent, the leveling must be iu accordance with the curved level line to corre spond with the surface of the earth cqui-dihtant from its center. The usual instrument for leveling is the road or mason's level with telescope and compass, the latter to get the bearings. For ditching purposes, a "plumb-bob" level, n two-legged contrivance open like the letter A with n line fastened at the top and terminating iu a pear, or "top" shapnl piece of lead. Iu the exact center of the bar across the A is marked a notch, and when the point of the bob is nt that center notch, the line is level. To continue the level line a series of poles ure necessary. These are so placed that the one nearest the eye conceals all the rest. To allow for inequalities of surface, a notch is cut iu the starting pole, or at the point where the level I::sc Lcms, aud that point must be level with it all along the line. A spirit level held to each pole, and the eye will demonstrate the exact level line for all practical purposes. This method is sufficient for small areas, to lay the level of n ditch, or its laterals, but in large tracts, of course a sur veyor should be called iu. Uvery farmer with a hundred acres to level can easily do the whole sur veying himself by following this apparently crude method, aud be as accurate in his leveling as a profes sional surveyor. Where there arc curved lines to be drawn on irregular surfaces, a hill or knoll, for instance, being in the way of a straight line, the mariner's compass ruav be brought into use to ascertain bearings, and this is extremely valuable: in a series of straight lines drawn fact, necessary for irrigation pur which will make skeletons for the.P0-'. whether ditching or flooding, curves. In fact, it is no trick at all It is often n very intricate matter to draw n level line around a hill, ' to irrigate every portion of a given or curve a ditch iu the shape of a I field uuiformally, aud failure to do letter S or Z. by this simnle ' so always results in lack of mil- method. AH these measurements , should be traced on the map, for , even if not used immediately thev win prove usetui when necessary to ditch, or irrigate. W.KMHNTAUV INI'OKMATION. To make this laud leveling busi- HAS THE RIGHT IDEA (Continued from pK I.) down to the ground and covering it with eai th. In a few days it takes ' root and when severed from the parent bush you have two bushes in place of one. Iu this manner , Mr. Wiest will stock his place with high grade, cx(eusive varieties at . little cost. ' In fruit trees there is a great showing pears, .quince, plums, prunes, crabapples nnd different va rieties of the larger apples. The trees, while young, are doing nicely. In his orchard he has the Yellow Newton Pippin aud the SpiUeu berg. These also helped to make Hood River famous, the Yellow Newton being an extra fine com mercial apple. Somewhat more than a year ago Mr. Wiest planted some pie-plant sued. Today he r.as a great abun- dance of this edible phut, which has made n marvelous growth. One plant has put out a leaf that j measures 36 inches long and 30 inches wide. Rice popcorn has done very well aud stands higher than a man's head. In roasting ears, Mr. Wiest has a dwarf variety. Tuesday he had life first roasting ears for this season. In selecting the varieties of frujt, wr, wxest cliooses those, first, that grade well iu size aud quality, and I ucss clear to the mind of the ele mentary rentier, let it be supposed that he desires to run 11 ditch from one point to another. Helms the letter A-shajietl plumb-bob leveler, half a dozen poles 10 feet or so iu length and n enrpeute-'s spirit level. With these he is prepared to run practically level lines nil over n hundred-acre tract of laud. At the stattiug point ascer taine the "plumb" point, that is the spot over which hangs the lend bob exactly iu the middle of the cross-bar of the A, then plant 11 pole, and nt the height of the eye, sny live feet, cut n plainly visible notch, or make any kind of n mark that can be seen nt n distance. This is the standard ot the entire ditch Next, take another pole, your A level, and the spirit level, nnd walk along the proposed line of ditch any convenient distance to a H)iut Four rods or so are not too far. less if there arc obstructions to level around. Lay the A level over the selected point aud ascertain the exact level of point two, as it may be called. Now place the spirit level against the pole about the height ol the eye, mid look along its top as if "sighting" a gun. Slide it up nnd down, if necessary, until you find the notch iu the first pole, with the "bubble" iu the spirit level exactly in the center, aud make a notch or mark iu pole number two where the spirit level touches it. A calculation is easily made, for the notch on pole one is five feet front the surface of the ground, and by meauir,n the height from the ground of the. notch iu pole number two any variation will mean that another level point must be selected, or that there must be some grading or digging, The second level point having been established, proceed with the third pole iu the same manner, comparing it with the second pole, carefully noting the figures on paper, and so continue until the work is complctt'd. Laterals may be run in the same manner, and the entire parcel of laud gone over, the results iu figures showing the slope oj lay of the laud for every purpose This leveling, if carefully nnd com pletely done, will show numerous grades, or slopes iu the same parcel or tract of land, and the knowledge fortuity in any crop sought to be grown tinou it, there being too mucli water in some parts and not IntinHnlt 2.. a. !...
