Ibil OP A1 I HENEPIT TO MANY Strong thoush Unverified Rumor that the New Stage l.lno linn lleen Awarded Moll Contract. According to reports that roach Hand this week, the Hcnd, Madras & Shauiko Stogu Co. ha'i been grunted the contract for carrying mall from Shanlko to Bend. While the olTiciuI.H of the company at this end of the line have not yet been notified to this effect, yet the re ort comes through ntich sources as to make it quite probable that the new i correct. The contract stipulates that scrv ice on the now route shall begin May 1,0 and shall handle the mall from Ikiid, I.aldlaw, Redmond, Culver, Warm Springs and Madras to and from Shnniko. The granting of this contract mean that mull .service through WtMern Crook county will be mneli better hereafter. The new stupe gt u into Hcnd from about 2 to $ o'clock daily and Mend people will now receive their mail tit that time. While service over the nkl route has been very satisfactory for the HUt few weeks, during the winter and during wet weather it him been very uitsatUfactory. Dur ing the time when the roads wore in the pnort condition stages on the new lute reached lleud regit larly at abou,t 4 o'clock u 111. It is thus seen that the problem of waiting for one' mull until the next morning after it arrives, mid then often receiving It a day lntt on account of the Mage having mussed connections at I'riuevHIe, is now a thing of the past. Another feature of the service that is of gtent value to the section served is that it gives no much bet ter service between the towns along the new Hue. These towns arc bound together largely by the same bushiest Interests and have needed closer and more rapid mail column nieatlon. This will now be granted. I'KINISVII.U! WINS. Defeats llcud School Team by a Score o(l2.lo 2. The first baseball game of the season was witnessed by a goodly crowd last Saturday afternoon when the school teams of Ucud and I'rlnevlllc crossed bats on the local diamond, As the above score nig nines, the result was disastrous to the Hcnd boys b.ttt they put up 'a stifT fight and "died game." And they lost to a tcaui that is qom posed of skillful mid speedy play ers that showed ample evidence of being well canclicd and well pac Heed. The first half of the game was n walk-away for the Prineville chaps. It was the lleud boy's first game and tha general opinion was that the local team was n little nervous. Most of the runs by Prhicville were made onv errors by Hcnd errors that n little more practice and coaching, will eliminate. Later the locul boys took a grip on their nerve and played like .veterans, the last half of the game being a well matched cotitest nip and tuck 'as to which team was playing the best ball., But in. the. flurry of th.e, first L... lt...t..nd l.lt T). ).....

Piper, of the Riological Survey, depart ment of agj iuilturc, U at Pullman, Wash,, and is inoculating the ground squirrels of that region, which do much damage to grain, in the hope of destroying them. Parties at Madras read of Mr. Piper's work and wrote to him, asking if he would not make an attempt to spread the deadly di seasc among the sage rats of the Madras and Hay Creek sections. Mr. Piper replied that he would be glad to make the attempt and asked that several live animals be caught aud sent to him. He also wrote as follows, his letter appearing in the Pioneer: "It it quite true that we arc carrying cwt experiment along the line of Intro ducing contagioui bacterial dUcavc in a tpcclc of ground tquirrel clnscly relat ed to your Mee rat Kennieat's tiround npiirrel. Thec experiments have o far been Mlioralorv teatt on cuReil nnlmalt. The reraltt obtained are very promising, and we are introducing experiments 111 the field this teaton. 1 am quite certain that Ute disease will lie fooml of value iu coinhatiiiK your sage rat, but would like to test it on tlie tpecics before sending out any of tne virus. If found tuccestful I will either personally conduct a fiehl trial iu vonr locality, or send material to you. liven if It i not ibt to take up field experiment in vour locality thk sentoti, 1 am anxious to ilelerBilBe the susceptibility of the specie in Order to begin work on them early in the season next spring. "I Htn much interested in trying the disease on your specie ami hofc to lie able to conduct field experiment on them during the present season. Trust ing that your interest in the matter will furnish me a supply of the animals ami thanking you in advance. Respectfully yours, Stanlhv It. Pii'iuc, Assistant. IlioloRical Survey. V. S.

Oil Found at Dufur. The oil discoveries at Dufur took quite a boom the first of this week, and oil stock has gouc up with a jump. On Monday John btevens, John Johnston and Carey Ballard, in company with Dr. podds, went up to the prospect in the field of Mr. Duftir to investigate aud came home all puffed up with their suc cess. . 1 hey hau found that there was oil running aift of the ground in something like the clear form, and the next day some more of the Duftir stockholders went up to in vestigate with the same results, and now oil stock is high with none for sale. Dispatch. Rattlers Out Early, Rattlesnakes arc making an early appearance iu the Madras section, five large ones having already been killed this year on Agency Plains, says the Floueer. Tliree were killed by Cliff and Ray Jackson, two others by one of the Gard boys, last, week. One killed by Ray Jack- soti had nine rattles and a button. Last year a number of rattle snakes were killed upoa the plains, but very few were killed unli much later in the year. Thpy were more numerous about harvest time, and as many as eight or ten were killed under one hay stack en sev eral occasions. Experiment Farm at Warmsprfngs. Mr. Cdv'ey, superintendent of the Warnlsprings Agency, says they arc conducting a sniall experiment farm over at the Indian school, where they expect to make a number of interesting experiments along agri cultural lines. Among other things they will try "dry farming" meth ods upon a part of their land, with a view to testing its adaptability to soil of the character of that on the reservation, which is quite similar to that of Agency Plains. Mr. Covey has ordered one of the sub surface packers ndvoc-atcd by Mr. Campbell aud will give t ja: m''i- od a thorough test. The tract up on which experiments will be con ducted will consist of about So acres, 40 acres of which will be put in crop on alternate years, the remain ing forty to be subjected to the Campbell system of summer-culture. Madras Pioneer. Fruit Prospects Good. J. R. Harvey was in Prineville from his Powell Butte ranch the first of t'e week and reports excel lent prospects for the fruit crop this year. Mr. liarvey says tuat out few of the trees have bloomed as yet and the fact that they arc late in this respect practically insures an excellent crop of all kinds of fruit There are over 100 trees on this place that are in full bearing. Journal. Oets Water at 45 Feet. John C. Trotter got water in a well which he and Ed Craig have been sinking on his place on Sage brush flat, the latter part of last week.
