On account of damage done to gardens during the week by a cer tain bull running at large, the fol lowing provision of the Oregon statutes is given for general infor mation: "She. ms. If any lHjrson. betim the , owner of a bull or lionr, shall knowingly allow the Mime to range nt lnrue out of his enclosures, he Minll w tlcemcil Ktulty of a mlvlemenuor, and on cotuplntut filed before any justice of the peace, such herou shall be lined iu a sunt not lehS tiiau fs.oo nor more tiinu f$o.oo tor cacu offense." Fences do not seem to retard this animal and he deliberately walks through them. Tuesday night he broke into a garden within the city limits and practically destroyed it. He has also been known to chase two or three persons during the past week. Many Anxious for Claims in the Bend Country. BUYERS ARK NOW ACTIVE Recent Transfer of Holdings Throws a Large Volume of liuslness Into the Bend Uank. I:or several weeks there has been a great demand among local people for claims still open to entry. Lo cators have been carefully examin ing plats and scouring the timber in an endeavor to satisfy the call for claims. Quarter sections with the timber so scarce on them that they would not have been considered heretofore, are now being gobbled up with avidity. The rush ot people into the Silver Lake country during the last two weeks, with the expectation of fil ing on timber claims about to be thrown open to entry, only empha sizes the impetus that has been giv en to the acquiring of claims, due to the oix;ratioii of timber buyers iu the upj)cr Deschutes country since last spring. lor several years there has been a moderate demand for claims by purchasers, but nothing to equal the present demand. Last winter H W Lnkiu of Minnesota came to Ikud and put a larirc crew of cruis ers at work hereabouts. He boon opened an office and began the pur chase of timber lands. A few mouths later the Scaulon-Gipon Lumber Company of Minneapolis sent a representative here, Mr. C. II. McNie, who opened an office, put cruisers at work, and also began buying timber. This latter firm al ready had large holdings near Itend. This transfer of timber lands has thrown quite a large volume of bus iness to the Central Oregon Bank ing & Trust Co. of Bend. Cashier F. O. Minor stated this week that when the deeds are surrendered and the deal closed 011 those trausfeis now pending, the amount oi the sale transacted through the local bank by Mr. Lnkiu will approximate very closely a half million dollars. Mr. McNte has been delayed con siderably by the illness of his head cruiser and the sum total of these trausUts will undoubtedly be much increased when he gets fairly into the local market. This business has not yet reached the limit by far, as there is yet much timber held by in dividuals, and both Messrs. I.akin and McNie are buyingclaims when ever they can be secured at satis factory prices. The pi ices now of fered range from $1,200 to $1,800. PINDS PLENTY OP WATER. Mnu Near Madras Strikes nn Abun dant Supply nt Depth of 350 I'cet. Dave Burnett lias struck a Hue flow of water iu the well which he was having drilled by Frank Love lund on his place about eight miles south of Madras, says the Pioneer. The water was found at a depth of about 350 feet, and there is appar ently an inexhaustible supply of it. On Monday they attempted to pump the well dry, taking out an 1 8-foot bucket of water every two minutes during a period of two and three-quarters hours, and there was no apparent decrease iu the amount of water iu the well. When Mr. Barnett began on this well a mouth or more ago, jt was for the double purpose of trying to get water and also following up an oil prospect which had been struck in that neighborhood several years ago, Most ot our readers are lauiu- mr with the story of the mild oil excitement created about two years ago by the discovery of strong evi dences of petroleum iu a well ou the Barnett place, and u was lor the purpose of further prospecting that Mr. Barnett began to drill tuts new well. At a depth of about 250 feet there were strong indications of pe troleum iu the new hole which was being drilled, but below that depth they encountered a red granite for mation, when the indications of oil ceased. Mr. Barnett is quite pleased at his success iu securing water, which iu that district is al most if not quite as valuable as an oil well would be. For 23 years he has hauled all of the water used on his ranch, and it is a great relief at last to have plenty of water for all purposes right at the ranch. And, incidentally, the value of hir. ranch is greatly increased. The well on the Barnett place was drilled with Frank Lovclaud's new drilling outfit, which is one of the best drilling machines ever brought into this section. The drill alone weighs about 1,500 pound, and the machine has a capacity of 1,200 feet. Since Mr. Barnett has dem onstrated the possibility oi getting water within a reasonable distance, it is likely that Mr. Loveland will have about all he can do with his machine. He is next going to drill for the Harveys on the Little Plains and he expects to have his machine set up and read to begin drilling there by the first of next week. IMPORTANT CONTEST MADE GOOD SHOWINQ. Exhibits from Crook County Rank w Ith the Ucst at Irrigation Congress. II. F. Jones of Redmond, presi dent of the D I. & P. Settlers' Asso ciation, returned last week from the National Irrigation Congress at Boise. Speaking of Crook county's exhibit at Boise, he said: "As crooK and .Mauieur counties were the only two exhibits from Oregon, they combined and took first prize in grasses and grams. As a matter of fact we did not know that prizes were to be offered or wc could have fixed up an exhibit that would have crowded the best of them for the $500 silver cup offered for the best general display. Wc didn't know it, though, so otily took along some grains to show what we could raise over here. We had the heaviest wheat, oats, barley, rye, etc., exhibited by anv of the states. This we consider a great showing for Crook county, when you consider wc had Utah, Mou tana, Idaho, Nevada and Washing ton to compete with. The grain came from the Laidiaw country and was exhibited by the Laidiaw Development League, represented by J. X. Ii. Gerking and IS. B. James." BUYS HOOD RIVER LAND. Ucnd Man Invests In 80 Acres and Will Plant Orchard. Dr. W. S. Nichol returned from Hood River Tuesday noon, where he went to investigate laud in that vicinity. He was well pleased with an offer made him and purchased So acres about eight miles from Hood River. Fifteen acres of this laud is cleared and the balance lus a growth of small timber on it. Sev eral acres of this lie will have cleared at once and planted to Snitzenberg and Yellow Newtown apples. I lie doctor has evidently got hold of a good deal. Judging from the present price of Hood River or chards he figures that wheu the land is cleared and planted to trees, it will easily be worth $300 au acre. When the orchard is bearing it will probably sell for f 500 an acre. The doctor has no intention of leaving lieud, and invests 111 tuts laud sim ply for speculation. J. II. Miller, who accompanied Dr. Nichol, did not invest at Hood River, but went on to look over the Clackamas country. Milliner Coming.

A THREE-CORNIiRnD EIGHT A Third Party Appears In the Case of Miss Carrie Olson vs. the North cm Pacific Railway Co. If you want to keep iu touch with the development of this great Des chutes valley, READ the Bulletin, The contest of Carrie Olson vs. The Northern Pacific Railroad Com- pany, in which title to a valuable water power site on the Deschutes river eight miles sotitti of Bend is involved, has taken on considerable additional interest during the past week by the injection of a third in terested party in the contest. This third party is Lcaudcr Dillon, a pioneer setttler of this region. To get the facts clearly in mind it will be well to relate a little his tory and review recent develop ments in this case. It will be re membered that in January, roos. Miss Olson established residence on this land and in May applied at The Dalles land office to file on it as a homestead. This was refused be cause the land was un surveyed. A few weeks later, the Northern Pacific company placed Mount Rainier scrip on this same quarter section. It was accepted because the law decreed that Mount Rainier scrip could be placed on unsur veyed laud. Thereupon Miss Olson brought contest against the railway company, basing her right to the land on the plea of a squatters' claim. The hearing of the con test began on August 17. At the opentug of the contes, Attorney W. E. Guerin appeared in behalf of Lennder Dillon and prayed the privilege of introducing evidence and cross-examining wit nesses to prove Dillon's claim to the north So acres of the quarter section contested, the most valuable part of the laud. Dillon's claim consisted in the alleged fact that he had homesteaded the north 80 acres during the years 1SS6-91. Attor ney Guerin's plea was ruled out by Commissioner Ellis on the grounds that Dillon was not a party to the contest on record. At the final hearing at The Dalles, Dillon again appeared by his attorney, Attorney John Gavin, and presented his claims for a hear ing. Miss Olson was represented by Attorney Myers, and the North ern Pacific by Attorney Scobey of Portland. The ruling of Mr. Ellis was sustained, but it was agreed that at a hearing to be set before Com missioner Ellis ou Sept. 14, Dillon should introduce evidence to sub stantiate his claim, while the other parties to the contest could cross examiue his witnesses and intro duce rebuttal testimony. Conse quently the case was opened last Friday with Attorney Wickham ot Bend appearing for Dilbu, the other two parties represented by their former attorneys. In the evidence introduced it wa shown that Dillon came to this region iu 18S5 from Tulare county, Calif., look ing for a good location for a stock ranch He was told of this laud but was informed thnt "Uncle John," Sisetnore had ' It feuced. Upon consulting with Sise more he was told to go ahead and take the land if he wanted to. Consequently he filed homestead entry ami later nmdV, final proof ou the south half of the v southeast quarter of section 3.1. town ship IS south, range 11 east, and the ad joining bo ncre to the south, the north lulf of northeast quarter of section 4. township 19 south, range 11 east. Patent was. finally issued to the north 80. but refused 011 the south 80 because it was uusttrveycil land. Evidence wan introduced to show that at the time patent was issued, the laud department officials stated that Dillon hail homc Meaded the entire 160 acres in good laiui nun mat wueu it was surveycil patent would be isued thereupon to him. It was also shown that Dillon had moved to l'rinevilte .in 1800 and had abandoned residqnee ou the laud since tuat time. The contest hi this latter hearing seemed to have been waged chiefly be tween Mr. Dillon's and Miss Olson's interests, Evidence was introduced by (Continued on page 4,)
