A SIIRIiWI) IIARKIA1AN TRICK It I llcllcvcd Hint tho Wily Itnllrond KIiijj Dictated tho Kccent Action of the Reclamation Service. lliuiueM uicrit of Portland, acting with the I'ortlaticl chamber of com merce, are taking stejw to sepd a petition to the secretary of the in terlnr protesting against the build. Ing of u dnin in the Dutchmen riv cr and tlniN delnytuv railroad con strthtion into Centnil Oregon The titiou will also MNk (hot the right rf way of the Oregon Trunk Line leading southward from the mouth of the Deschutes river into Crook county lie granted. The belief Iims grown rife in Portland that this nctioti of the la lunation nervier whs dictated by IlMrrifimii, with the object in view of keeping competitive railroads out of Central Oregon until after he cnii move in nud occupy the field. It II evident thnt the business men of Portland are thoroughly in earnest III their opposition to this action of the reclamation service nud will light it to 8 I'mUli. Monday's Oregon Journal tells the .story as follows: What Senator Whcaldon Says. ".State Senator Whenldou is de termined to leave no stone uutiiruod to bring the officials at Washington to a right view ot the situation He says that the O. R. & N. had crews of engineers working on both skies of the Deschutes river prior to the notice given out by the reclamation service that il had filed on the wnt crs of the river. As soon as the fil iug bccnuic public the crews were withdrawn. This move on the mrt of the reclamation service was made hiontlis niter the Oregon Trunk )iad surveyed its line, secured iu rKht of way over private lands and begun jcrMtlitiK work at the mouth of the Deschutes. The maps, pro files and prayer for right of way over the government domain, weeks bcloie the reclamation service filed on the waters of the Deschutes, were laid before the depaitmeut to determine whether the proposed load would in any way interfere with any of the government proj ects. The npHopriatioii of the water followed and the interior de partment refined to grant the peti tion asking f"r riftlit of way over the public laud. Not Determined Feasible. "1? C. Ileiiney, supervising en gineer of the teclamation service, stated at his office in the presence of State Senator Whcaldon, J ease Stearns nud V, S. Stanley of the Deschutes Irrigation & Power com pany, which has already sjwnt over 850,000 iu the irrigation ot arid territory iu Crook county, that the government proposition to dam the Deschutes and generate electricity for the I'matilla project has not as yet been determined feasible, and even if it should be iu the future it was not certain that there would be money available to carry out the work, The project, he said, might he abandoned any time within three o five years. The appropriation of the water had been made, he added, to prevent any obstruction to the work proposed by the depnttmuut. lie believes that the public welfare demands the construction of the road, but it remains for the secre tary of the iiitcrior to determine the matter. The filing was made with out definite location, so that rail road building ts completely blocked nud the timber, mineral, agricultur al, and Irrigation resources of Cen tral Oregon left at the meicy of Washington officials who may or niay not decide iu favor of an em pire of thousands of .square miles as ngniust a couple of dams and n cur rent ol electricity. Denounces tho Move. "Jesse Stearns, one of the stock' holders In the DenchukM Irrigation t Power coin puny nud largely in terested iu the development of the central part of the state, who spoke iu strong teruls against the action of the reclamation service, said yes terday! " 'If the reclamation service is in telligent, if it is honest, if it is be neficent, then it should keep its nanus on ami let tills railroad go iu and help develop this great empire, and protect the capital of hundreds of thousands invested there. If it will not help, it should not hinder, nud it will not hinder unless it is n part and mrcul of this stabinthc- hack railroad game which is being played 011 the Pacific coast. I hold more strongly now than before to the views which I expressed at the Hood River meeting, and there cent disclosures made concerning the favoritism shown by Commis sioner Richards to the Union Pacif ic and Ilarrimau interests, leads all orua to believe thnt millions of acres of fertile Intnl. nud the hidden weal tli of innumerable productive resource will lw knocked iu the head, tied hand and foot and thrown cuitcuiptuouNly nsiilc to gratify the grasping nature of a railroad cor poration which has virtually said. 'Hands off of Central Oregon until we get ready to move in. ' There are other places to develop power, and other places to pump, and oth er lands to irrigate. If the recla mation service doesn't approve of un, if it doesn t want to aid us, then let it stand aside and not total ly annihilate months of labor, de velopment already started and thou sands upon thousands invested. Where Service Could Do flood. " 'If the reclamation service is really anxious to serve the nconle nud pump water, let them go above the mouth of the river to the Aeen- cy Plains district, where wheat and oats are 'being raised on 300,000 acres of land. The waters of the Deschutes are accessible there and the land owners would gladly give from 3,5 to 50 percent of their en tire holdings for water. ii 1.1 n question, 01 course, whether the detriment will see fit to retract its action when our peti lion is presented, but there will be enough aignatures 011 it, and it will go to Washington with such iuijh. tus that we expect to have some one sit up and t.kc notice whether any thing else results or not.' "Tkc petition m question will be freely circulated throughout the central jxut of the slate and will contain n long list of men leprcscnt ative of business enterprises. Aside Horn this there is little doubt that the chamber of commerce will affix its sanction and show, too, that not only the welfare of Central Oregon depends iiikim transportation, but that the development of the re sources there will be ofcreatand lasting benefit to Portland itself nud the business concerns located there."

Choice stock. 37-30 is. i UAamN.( A movement is now under way whereby a creamery may be estab lished at Hend in n few months. The moving spirit behind the deal is n successful rancher liriug a few miles east of Bend, and one who has had years of experience in start ing and running creameries at vari ous place, one of the more recent ones being at Oreshnm. Oregon. This man is Adam Kotzman. Ior several weeks Mr. Kolzman has been quietly working among the farmers in an attempt to find out the feeling regarding a deal of this kind. He reports that he has met with much encouragement and that everyone he approached seemed to favor it very much in fact, are anxious to hay a creamery estab lished. Some even volunteered to take stock in such an enterprise. Under plans ns outlined by Mr. Kot.umn it would first be uccetftary to obtain pledges from the farmers to furnish milk from a certain num ber of cows. When these were se cured, a co-operative association would be formed and the necessary plant built nt Hend. Mr. Kotzman agrees, if uoccs sary, to furnish from 40 to so cows for this enterprise. Furthermore, in order to get the country stocked witn n good grade oulairy animals, he ays that he will agree to buy, say, a hundred head of milch cows, bring them into the Hend country, and then let ranchers take their pick from the bunch. If after pur chasing one of these, anyone is dis satisfied with the cow's milk-giving abilities, Mr. Kotzman agrees to take the cow back and refund the purchase money. Mr. Kotzmnu very much desires that the businc men of Hend join hands with him in starting this en terprise. Uedmond merchants have asked him to start a plant at that place, mid he has also received ov ertures from r,aidlaw ineu, but he prefers to have the first creamery started nt Hend. In an enterprise of this kind the co-operation of ev erlody is needed, l'encc Mr. Kotz man is very desirous Unit the mat ter be taken up by Heua melt. About December to Mr. Kotz man will leave for n two mouth's trip to Wisconsin. On his return he will bring with him an exper ienced creamery man to put at the head of such an enterprise. Hutter will average nt Hend from .to to 50 cents n pound the year through. In the Mississippi valley creameries make big money for the farmers when they can soil" the but ter at from jo to 30 cents. Conse quently there is much reason to be lieve that a cruiuiiery iu the Hend country would be u pnyiug concern and would bring much money into the farmers' pockets. ilejmrtiiHfiit of agriculture, ban found in J iiorineru anxra an IUI nutted to the arid landi of the north, where the win ters are Wtter told. 1'rofeMor Hanten got on the track of the alfalfa a ycarago out wa lalf 111 marching for ft that he wh Imdlv ftiMcu in Siberia.

Have you ever noticed what n better class of horses are being driven into Hend by the farmers these days? A few months ago the average hurse was small, light weighted and poor a typical Uregon "iurz tail." Now team after team comes to town of great heavy draft horses, sound and handsome. It shows thnt the coun try is improving. Mountain Pass Is Snow-Blocked. W. C. Stttrdcvnut, a transmit man, passed through Hend and registered nt the Hotel Hend last Saturday. He was on his way to join Millar's crew of surveyors iu the Oil ell country. He started from lingerie and endeavored to cross the mountains but found the snow so deep on the summit of the range mat lie was lorccvl to leave his horses and come around by the way of Shauiko. Work on Ditch Is Now Stopped. The main canal of the Arnold Ditch company has recently been completed as far as the Silver Lake road, about a mile north of Wet Weather Springs. It has not been fully decided whether the main canal will be continued farther, or whether the various users of the water will run their laterals from that point to their land. It is prob able, however, that the big ditch will be extended some distance farther. Rkdmoxii, Nov. 26. We would hardly be a normal community if we did not have a blow or two who are always gutting the wind taken out of them, but that is not the way with Joe Huckholz. He makes affidavit before a notarv public that on ten and only ten acres of his forty of Pilot Butte segregation, he sold this year one thousand dollars worth of vegetables not including hay and grain. Mr. Huckholz has a farm about two miles east of Hend and is one of the best farmers iu the vicinity. The vegetables that brought this neat sum into Mr. Huckholz' s bank account were sold to Bend people, where there was a ready market at u good price for all his produce. Besides the ten acres of vegetables, he also raised eight acres of wheat hay. No manure was put on the land for this year's crop, but it will be used freely before planting next season. Mr. Buckholz had a nice exhibit at the Redmond fair, and believes iu a liberal application of manure even If work is rushing. We wish a few more of our settlers would come to the front and not only give figures of what they have done, but back it up with something solid. li. C. 1'AIUC. MORG BUILDINQ AT REDMOND 1906.

I?red Shepherd, the man who killed Ben Zell on September 24 on Zell's ranch cast of Bend, will be hanged today at Salem at 12 30 p. in , unless his sentence is com muted by Governor Chamberlain. An attempt was made to have the sentence changed to life imprison ment. Iu a letter to the governor. Judge Frazcr, who presided at the trial of Shepherd, writes as follows "The evidence allowed the murder to be one of the most atrocious and fiendish acts of which 1 have ever heard. It wa rmimitted in order that Shepherd, the murderer, tniuht ravish Mrs. Zell. wift of the murdered man. Asfar as I know the crime was very similar to thov; com mittcd at time by negroes In the South which have given rise to the many lynch ings in that section, ami wnite Itstcntnv to the evidence of the manner in which Zell wus killed, and hisuifc. a rather delicate and refined little woman, out raged thereafter, I was amazed that the men who were called to the scene an liour or two af tern anil, could tak Shepherd into custody and calmly wait for the arrival of the sheriff. 'When that little woman came bick after having gone for help, with hah otreamiug, dressed iu nothing but t loose wrapper, having ridden awaj hare-footed and bare-legged, and falling from her hone screamed with urtef am' terror "There is tits man! That is tlu man who killed ray lien!" it was fortu uate for Shepherd that a vcrv nuiet cool-headed man was iu control of th iluation." Judge Frazcr concludes as follows "The case being such an atrocious one and Sliephcrd having shown sucn a fiend Uh dlspuition, having not only mur deretl ell and outraged his wife, but having klwwn a desire afterwards t forever l'Utcken Iter character, in mi mind Ik in not entitled to mtv.
