Still Drilling for Oil.
Dave Harnett was in town on
Monday, from his ranch near
Culver. He says they are drilling
steadily on his place for oil, the
drill Iwlng down about 280 feet on
last Saturday evening. He says
that there ate splendid indications
of oil, nud that he intends to sink
deep enough to lenrh more about
it. Lately they have been making
good headway, goings down as
much as 50 feet in one Hay, al
though on other days they did not
go mote than four feet, owing to
the hardness of the rock.
While the main Object of the
present prospecting' is to in
vestigate the oil prospects which
for many years have been known
to exist there, Mr. fturnett says
that he will feel quite V.'ell repaid
for the labor and expense if he cau
strike n good flow of artesian water.

,The railroad suiveying crews
that have been working in the
Bend country and the Upper Des
chutes valley for the past two
mouths, have finished their prelim
inary lines and are about to move
back to the Burns country, with the
exception of the crew unocr en
gineer Puck.
Hcnd men who visited Buck's
camp last week report that his crew
ore running n line east from the
Graham line south of Rostand. This
line will be run through Christmas
Lake valley to Wagontirc moun
tain, which will take about six
wteks' time. After reaching Wag
ontirc, the crew will go to Ontario,
will outfit for the winter and then
go back over their line making
final location. It is understood
that last spring, before Buck had
been ordered into the mountains,
l,e had tun a preliminary line from
the Snake river to Wagontirc. He
will now connect this line with tjie
Graham survey.
Kngmecr C. J. Millar, whose
crew has also been working in
Odell pass in the Cascades, has
gone to Burns. He will locate the
line southeast of. thn,t place, anc
savs he will work toward Crane
Creek gap.
Kngincer Shaw has finished the
preliminary line from Burns to
connect with the Graham Hue at
Rosland, and will soon start
with his crew for the Bums coun
try. He will also do location work,
surveying in that region" on the
Oregon Kastern line across the
state.
These crews are all working for
the Oregon Short Line. On the
west side of the Cascades and in
the Diamond Peak pass, the South
ern Pacific has four crews 1t1der
Rankin searching for the best pass
lurougn tne mountains, v-unsiu-crable
final Ideation work has been
dqnc from Natrott toward this
pass.'
Thus the preliminary work on
a line across the state is completed
and the crews are beginning to
locate the final Hue. Graham's
crew has the preliminary line rim
from Madras, tlirougu uenu ro
Klamath Falls, while the Oregon
Trunk line has a survey from the
mouth of the Deschutes up the
river to Madras with crews work
ing on construction. This covers
Central and Eastern Oregon "pretty
well with survey stakes. Tile next
step will be the placing of ties and
rails.
also donations of books, money, etc.
from any who desire to give. It is
planned to establish a museum and
exhibit in the room. Any one hav
ing anything of a peculiar nature,
such as strange rocks, shells, furs,
woods, etc., etc., native to tuis re
gion, SIjouiu donate incni 10 mc
association and help to make the
museum ,an interesting one and
truly representative of the upper
Deschutes Valley. It is also greatly
desired that a permanent exhibit
of grasses, grains, fruits, vegetables,
etc , etc. be established in this rdom
where strangers passing through
the town can see thfctn and be con
vinced of the great fertility of:
Deschutes valley soil. Ranchers
arc urged tosavc samples and bring
them into town. Or, if anyone
has anything to donate, if they will
make it known to the trustees, ar
rangements will be made to get it
and bring it to the room.
It should be remembered that
the reading room is free and open
to the public. It is desired that
everyone feel free to use it.
Chairs and tables will be pro
vided and it is hoped that many
will avail themselves of this oppor
tunity to obtain good reading at no
expense.
The trustees have decided on a
program of expansion and growth
for this institution and greatly de
sire the hearty support aud co-operation
of everybody.

Petition for New School district.
W. J. McGillvray was circulating
a petition among Bend people
Wednesday, asking that Beud
school district No. 12 be divided
and a new district established in the
McGillvray Arnold - Ferguson re
gion about six miles southeast of

many.
The new district, if established,
will have the following boundaries:
Commencing at southeast corner of
S. 12, T; iS, R. 13, thence due
west to line between ranges 1 1 and

There are 15 children, of, -school
age now living in the proposed dis

A number of 'Bend men appeared
before the county court last Mon
day, which had met in its capacity
as a board of equalization. Hvcr
since the court house agitation,
which resulted in an injunction be
ing issued by Judge Bradshaw, it
has been know that property val
ues, especially timber claims, had
been about doubled by the asses
sor in his last assessment. The
Bend people appeared before the
board to see that justice was shown
them and that this increase iu
assessments was general over the
county. Little was accomplished,
however, as the assessor reported
that his lists were not complete.
He will undoubtedly ask for an ex
tension of time when the county
court meets next week. This will
be granted, and the court will
probably again convene as a board
of equalisation sometime the first of
October.
Seme of the people from here re
port that there are great inequal
ities in the present assessment roll.
For example: stocks of merchandise
in Princville known to be fully twice
as large as some carried here in
Bend, arc assessed at half the
value of the Bend 'stocks. This
naturally arouses the indignation
of the taxpayer whose property is
assessed so greatly in excess of that
in other parts of the county.
The timber men present found
matters in a more favorable con
dition, except that timber in the
Blue .mountains was assessed at
S750 per 160 acres while that in
Western Crook was valued at
$1,000 They entered objections
to this, and were promised that the
assessments would be equalized.
They report that Judge Bell was
emphatic in his statements that it
was the board's desire that a fair
assessment on all property should
be made.
It was also announced that the
revised plans for the new court
house, which had been received
from the architect at Salem, would
be considered by the county court
at its meeting next week and steps
taken looking to the erection of
the building. If this is done and
the county court persists in its de
termination to build a court house,
Bend people announce that inequal
ities in the present assessment roll
will be attackedv and everyone,
whether in Priueville, Madras
Beud, Redmond or other parts of
the county, made to stand their
equal share of the tax burden.
They can see no justice iu unequal
assessments of property.
Those in attendance from Bend
were B. W. Lakin, E. F. Batten.
A. M. Drake, W. K. Guerin, jr
and C. H. McNie. Mr. Guerin
appeared before the board in be
half of Mr. Lakin, the Scanlon
Gipsoii and the Deschutes lumber
cdmpanies; also in behalf of his
own interests.
