Kinds of Mutrlcs from Hxnmlna-

final certificate, patent or other
evidence of title shall he issued by
the government, "until an actual

order provide for seven exceptions,

vicinity who have made final proof
on homestead, titular claims and
desert claims and who are anxious
ly waiting the issuance of their
patents. The order ban just been
received by the local laud office
and has been given to the press. It
follows in full:

TllKOIHJKK ROOMKVKI.T.
ATKINSON ANSWIiRI-D.
At. P. Ilod.son Alnkcs Reply to Antl-Dlvl-tlonlst.
Ilitsi), Keb. 12, Kditor Bulle
tin: I deem it hardly necessary to
reply to the insulting remarks
pointed at me in nn article printed
in last week's edition of The Jour
nal, written by Mr. Atkinson. But
for the benefit of those who may not
be acquainted with the gentleman
front the "Jack Pines," I will say
that those remarks were directed
from person malice, and not from
what I told him regarding' the
things that have led up to the
county division question, as the
gentleman knows very well that he
has no just grounds to fight the
division on.
Mr. Atkinson says his eyes sel
dom deceive hint in figures, but I
am stire Ms ears do, for I made no
such assertions as he said I did. I
would be very foolish to quote fig
ures on assessments that I could nqt
prove. The figures I quoted to
Mr. Atkinson I obtained from re
liable persons who had examined
the county records to obtain the
sumc.
I told him that Smith & Wilt
were assessed 'f7,240, nearly as
much as C. W. Klkinsof Prineville,
who was advertising a $70,000
stock for sale. I did not tell him
the highest assessment ou auy store
in Princvillc was only $9,000.
Neither did I tell him that timber
claims hi the Btuc mountains were
nsscsicd at only $500. He says
that there is no sale for timber in
that region; that only the best
claims can be sold for Si, 000. The
same old gag that Judge Bell gave
the people, and when a Bend man
asked him for nn option on 50
claims at $1,000 each lie had to take
water and said lie only had one.
V.. A. Sather of Bend has not as
large a stock as Smith & Wilt, of
Sisters.
He says I was giving the people
in his section great gags. I was
not aware that I was out playing
the role of a clown.
When Mr. Atkinson learned
that I was in his vicinity with a
petition for county division, he
made his boast that, "He was go
ing to fix some of the people so
they would not sign." It seems
like the gentleman from the Jack
Pines is a past master in the art nf
juggling the truth, and no doubt
has his diploma issued by the
Crook County Journal. He says
another gag I gave the people was
that it is cliea-K-r to build one
court house than it was to build
two. Now, I will leave it to auy
sane man if that is not true.
It is only a matter of time until
Western Crook will be set aside to
create a new county. Then why
not pull off from the "ring" and
let them build a court house to
beautify Prineville and with our
share of what it would cost, and a
little more, we can build one where
it is most needed.
I am sorry that those "chronic
kickers" will be compelled to live
in the new county, as it would be
more agreeable to all if they could
be left in the old one.
He says there is not a toot of
the segregation under the Carey Act
that is jMiyiug taxes. That may
be true. If it is what will be the
total valuation of property in West
ern Crook when these lauds and all
the homesteads are patented? I
say it will be nearly double what
it is today.
He will see then what a low rate
of tax we will pay.
I do not leel like taking up auy
more sjtace in your valuable paper
to defeud myself of the malicious
jabs that were made at me.
If Mr. Atkinson would take
some reliable paper like the Bulle
tin he could keep informed as to
county movements.

COYOTl: MAKI3S A RAID.
Shows Much Strength by Carrying
75-Lb. Porker Up Steep Mill.
A bold bad coyote made a raid
on Mrs. Lena Lamb's pig pen last
Priday night and came near mak
ing away with about 75 pounds of
very fresh pork. About 10 o'clock
that night the household was
aroused at the new home ou the
western limits of the towiiiite by
the squealing of a pig, and Mr.
Adams hastened to the rescue, but
the coyote had got his meat and
was making for the rimrock above.
The squealing of the porker was
nil that Mr. Adams had to guide
him as he followed after in hot
pursuit. Not until Mr. Adams
was almost upon him did the coy
ote give up his efforts to kill the
pig, and even as it was he succeed
ed, for the pig died after being
taken back to the barn. It was u
good-sized shotc weighing at least
75 pounds, and it seems quite a
feat of strength for so light an
animal n9 a coyote to perform, get
ting the heavy, struggling porker
out of the pen, and then making
off with him ou the run up the lull
through the sage-brush and rocks
covered with snow, for a quarter of
a mile, but that is what this coyote
did. Madras Pioneer.
Dr. Burrls Opens Office,
Dr. A. A. Burrls, the osteopath
physician, who has a homestead
east of town, has reuted tie George
Loucks building, formerly used as
a barbershop, and opened up his
office therein. Dr. Burris former
ly resided at Ilillsboro. Madras
Fioueer.

MUCH TALK ftF WAR
Mikado of Japan Presents
Ultimatum.
THAT ISQIST OP LATE REPORT
Story to the Uffect that Japan Wants
Wnr Test of Strength Will Come
Sooner or Later.
A communication delivered to
Secretary of State Root by Am
bassador Aokt of Japan is in the
nature of an ultimatum, according
to the Portland Journal of Pcb. 1.
The message treats of the San
Francisco school question, and in
sists that subjects of the Mikado
shall be treated the same as those
nf the most favored nations. Ac
knowledgement of this principle is
made the condition precedent to
further negotiations. The Mikado
insists that his subjects in San
Francisco must be accorded the
same privileges as subjects of Great
Britain, Germany or any other
first-class power.
A California!! who was called to
the White House to confer with
the president on this Japanese
question afterwards made the fol
lowing statement:
"War with Japan is inevitable.
It will not come tomorrow, or to
day, but sooner or later the test of
strength will come on the question
of which nation shall control the
Pacific This fact is realized by
leading members of the president's
administration. Consequently, the
policy is to shape matters to meet
the crisis when it shall arrive."
As to the ultimate end of a war
with Japan, Major C. G. Ayers of
the United States army, who was
with the Japanese for five months
in Manchuria, writes from Manila
and says: "I hope we will get at
it soon. Japan will undoubtedly
make a good showiug at the start,
but the end will be a great disaster
for her.;;
THE REDMOND LETTER.
A Newsy Bunch of Notes from 0. C.
Park.
Rkdmonu, I'eb. 11. The undersigned
hardly knows whether to send in the
usual grist of new till weok or not. We
are very much afraid that The Bulletin's
reaily prints will not come, iu which cart
we do- not look for the paper. However,
as we misted last week owiug to scarcity
of news, bad roads, loss of mail sack ami
various other causes', we again take our
pen in hand and essay another letter.
Who would liave thought it of what
once was the desert? We mean the rain,
snow, slush, mud, sleet, sloppy roads,
aud general present discomfort due to so
much precipitation. Some folks are al
ready saying, "Only one wetting for
spuds this year," and we are inclined
to be of the same opinion. Certain it is
tltat it is a great blessiiii to those who
are struggling with the vicissitude of
Oregon dry farming aud wilt greatly
tienefit the rest of us.
We do not suppose we dan add any
thing to what The Hulleti will already
lme iu print regarding the failure of the
Columbia Southern railroad to M-ud our
mail out to 11. We might say, however,
tli.it wo IH-Heve that if our mail service
were iu the lwndsof a private corpora
tion we would have had mail before this.
The thing that first started us to think
ing thin way was the fact that at the
time of the Galveston disaster the ex
presui companies had their ollicea run
ning in 34 hours, and Uncle Sam had his
postoflke bublues-i ruiiuiug iu about 30
