Robinson killed n large rattlesnake about six utiles south of this place last Sunday afternoon. When coming from Culver he came upon two young ladies who were making heroic efforts to kill the rattler, which had taken refuge under a sagebush, from which van tage point he was sounding a ter rible warning with his rattle. Mr. Robisou dispatched him with a rock and removed the rattle, which contained nine rattles nud a button. The snake was killed near the ipot where Jerry Cramer killed one n few weeks ago, and it had the same uumbcr of rattles. Pioneer. THE First National Bank of Prinevllle.

SUB-SOIL PACKER IS ORDERED Pilot Hutto Development Co. Will ex periment In Crop growing; Near Bend without Irrigation. The far-famed "Campbell sys tem" of dry fanning, a system that is being much talked of at present, will be given a trial in the Bend country next season by the Pilot Uutte Development Co, This sys tem will k used in connection with irrigation and probably a piece of new ground will be tilled according to Campbell's plans and uo water put upon it whatever except that coming by rainfall. A subsoil pack er has been ordered, a machine in vented by Mr. Camnbcll, and a thor ough test will be given the system in this vicinity. If this method of dry farming produces the marvelous results that it has in other semi-arid countries, its introduction into the Deschutes valley will bring thou sands of dollars of profit to the farm ers and will convert many thousand acres of land that cannot be reached by irrigation into fertile grain fields. This it has done in oth:r states. Hricflv described the Campbell system consists in the following, two principles of nature being in volved the movement of moisture 111 the soil bv capillarity and its es cape into the air by evaporation. The Campbell system aims to pre pare the soil to admit all the meagre rainfall that is precipitated and then to retain it in the soil. First, there must be deep plowing to create n reservoir for the moisture nnd to nrcnarc the soil so that it will allow the rain to soak in read- ilv. Then the subsurface soil must be firmly packed and the grain drilled in a trifle beneath the sur face of the packed subsoil. Over this packed subsoil tlicre must oe about three inches of dust and this fliiut ninlrli must be kent in that condition during the growing sea son. The subsurface soil must be packed because moisture cnunol rise rcndilv throiiL-li a loose soil, but by capillarity rises easily through a firm, well packed soil, tints brtug lug the moisture up to the roots of the grain. As has been stated, moisture cannot rise through a loose soil, so that the dust mulch checks the upward movement of moisture, keeps it from the surface of the ground and away from the dry air and hot sun. Thus by the Camp bell method the moisture is allowed to rise to the plant roots but is kept from escaping into the air by evap oration. Land in Colorado, Nebraska and other dry regious that was formerly the home of cacti and sagebrush, under the Campbell system is pro ducing 23 tons of sugar beets to the acre and 54 bushels of wheat par acre without irrigation. Waving grain fields and fruitful orchards are now growing on the arid desert. A. M. Drake of the P. B. D. Co.. who has studied very carefully into the Cnninbell svstem. holds the opinion that because of the loose ness of the soil in this vicinity, it may take three or four years to get the subsoil well pacneu aim m a nroner condition to retain the mois ture, before which time the system could not have a fair trial. He ex pects, however, to see very favor able and noticable results from the first venr's cultivation. v The company's experiments with this method will be watched with much interest by farmers hereabout. Lots ot Water at Madras. A larger and better flow of water was struck iti the Ishath well last week, than has been encountered in it heretofore at any time, and on Monday morning work could not be resumed in the well for the rea son that it wan impossible to pump it dry. This is the largest well in the "country, being fully 12 feet across tiie lottora and about 35 feet deep' Mr- Ishatu has lx:cn sinking his well deeper just as rapidly as he could, in order that he might secure nn inexhaustible supply of water for the. patrons of his well, and the latest flow of water looks more encouraging than any he has struck beforp this. Madras Pioneer POUND DRAD IN BED. Mrs. Mary A. Barnes Died from Heart Failuro Tuesday Night. Mrs. Mary A. Barnes, an old lady 65 years of age, was found dead in bed last Wednesday at her home in Laidlaw. Mrs. Barnes had been troubled for some time with heart disease and recently re marked that she would be found dead In bed some morning. Her statement proved to be a prophecy. The verdict of the coroner was that death was caused by heart failure. Mrs. Barnes is the mother of Mrs. Rev. J. C. George and W. D. Barnes, both of Laidlaw. She will be burned today, the Rev. J. Anthony Mitchell of Princvillc officiating at the services. A PAINFUL ACCIDENT. Head of Ax Flies from Handle and Badly Wounds Percy Walzer. Last Saturday while Percy Wal zer was working with a crew of surveyors running laterals in the vicinity of the Johnston ranch, he met with an accident that will lay him up for several weeks. One of the men was chopping with an ax not far from Percy, the head flew ofT and struck Percy on the inside of the right leg a few inches above the ankle. The- blade struck the flesh and in its downward course cut a deep gash in the leg, cut into the ankle joint, and severed the ligaments and tendons of the ankle As soon as possible a team was gotten ready aud the wounded man brought to town. News of the accident had been telephoned to Dr. Coc aud lie and Dr. Merrill were waiting at the Pilot Butte Inn, with evcything in readiness, when the wounded man arrived. Au enaesthctic was admfnstcred and the wound dressed. The wound has caused much pain since then, but the patient is doing as well as could be expected. It was one of those unfortunate accidents against which it is hard to guard and for which no one is to blame. CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY. Master W. Hazen Orant Entertains a Number of His Little Friends. August 22, 1902 August 32, 191-6 On Yclnesdny afternoon at three, Conic and celebrate with me, For on that day I'll be four, you see. W. IIazkn Grant. The above unique little invita tion was recently mailed to a large number of little folks by Mr. aud Mrs. A. H. Grant, in answer to which a crowd of little folks gath ered last Wednesday afternoon and helped Master Hazen celebrate his fourth birthday. They romped and frolicked on the lawn until 4 o'clock when Mrs. Grant called them to par take of the refreshments that had been prepared. The favors for each guest con sisted of a "snapping motto." This is a paper contrivance containing a motto and ou being pulled open a pretty little paper cap was found. These each child wore. The table was decorated with a large mound of sweet peas in the center, ou which stood, in all its glory, a large birthday cake with four burn ing caudles. At the proper time Master Hazeu blew out the candles and cut the cake. Dainty refresh ments of ice cream, cake, etc. were served. Those present report that the children with theii paper caps and gathered arqund the table made a pretty and unique scene. Several preseuts were presented to Master Hazen in honor of the event. Mrs. Grant had invited several lady friends and they joined heart ily in the merriment of the occasion. In all 24 little folks were present. NELSON VISITS CROOK Oregon Trunk Line Pro moter Examines Route. STUDIES FREIGHT STATISTICS W. P. Nelson and A. P. Cole Are (lath ering Information about Croojf County's Volume of Business. W. F. Nelson, the man who is promoting the Oregon Trunk Line up the Deschutes river from its mouth, and A. P. Cole, a promi nent railroad engineer who until recently has been connected with the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, are spending' considerable time during the past two weeks in Central Oregon going over possible routes of the Trunk Line south of Madras. Messrs. Nelson and Cole were in Madras several days during the first of last week. They arrived there on Sunday afternoon, having driven over much of the territory from which the Nelson road expects to draw its tonnage, and on Tuesday they left for the country south, ex pecting to come to Bend. Mr. Nelson expressed himself as well pleased with the country over which he had passed, which shows up well in comparison with other wheat sections which felt the effect of the hot winds of last month. Tuesday these gentlemen went to Princvillc where several days will be spent looking up the ton nage that would probably be handled by a railroad building into that place. Mr. Nelson occupies a unique, position among the railroad build ers who have their eye on the Ccu tral Oregon country, in that while he has made few promises, he is the only one of them who has so far done any actual construction work. He has two crews now at work on his line up the river, one at the Moody ranch at the mouth of the Deschutes aud another at the Free Bridge nine miles higher up. Short on promises and long on actual performance, seems to be his dominating characteristic. When in Mndras, Mr. Nelson was very reticient as to their plans, and the date upon which they expected to have the Oregon Trunk Line built into Madras. "If we don't make any promises," he said, "there won't be any to break." He stated, however, that labor was hard to get now. but that inside of sixty days he thought plenty of men would be available, and that by that time he expected to greatly increase the working force. Upon one point he was quite emphatic, and that is that the Otegon Trunk Line will be built up the Deschutes to Madras, and that work will continue steadily to that end. Mr. Nelson and Mr. Cole spent Monday out on the line between Madras and the mouth of Willow Creek gorge, returning in tho after noon and spending some time look ing over the territory immediately surrounding that place. Maps for Oregon Eastern Filed, More evidence that Harriman is in earnest in his intention to build a road across Central Oregon was furnished last week when Harri man men filed maps at Burns show- ing definite locations of the first section of the Oregon Eastern road, running from Ontario west. A dis patch from Burns says: "Burns, Or., Aug. 17 Attorney W. A. Robbln, of W. CoUoii'b ouVe air Portland t representing the Hnrthuam lines, arrived in Duma today and at Witt proceeded to file maps of definite loca tion for a Harriman railroad to be built through Central Oregon. He refused to be interviewed, but it was learned, by referring to the maps, that surveys are now complete from Ontario to a point on Crane Creek, near the east end of Mal heur Lake, but from that place the route of the proposed line has not yet been decided upon," In connection with the filing of (Continued on page 4.)
