A BARBHCUE OP 3,(H$ TROUT Spcccltcii and Music, llroncho Riding, Trap Shooting, Knees,-lit c, Kept tho Visitors Entertained. Another day commemorating our natiounl independence hns liccn ob served hi Bend with nil the accom paniment of noi.se, music, sports Hud htirrnh, nml a targe crowd of cnthuiastic and satisfied people have gone home paying that they were very well pleased with their day's entertainment. The celebration really began on the night of the 3rd, when load after load of Princvillc people be gan to arrive, these including the ball team. It was not long there after until there was the incessant boom of the giant cracker up and down Bend's btrccts. This was kept up until late Into the night and began again early in the morn ing and was kept up all day, so the celebration had an cirly start on the 3rd. s The Fourth dawned, bright and clear as it always docs in this most delightful climate. The people be gan to arrive early and soon there were between 1,000 mid 1,500 peo ple in Bcud ready for the day's sport. There was the young man with his best girl, the young man who had no best girl but who was having a good time just the same; there was mother with the little girls and daddy with the boys ev eryone decked out in their finest clothes, with money iu their pock ets and good cheer iu their hearts. Tho Program Begins. Tlic dqy's rogram started about 10:30 o'clock by a parade through the streets of a liberty car on which Miss Anna Johnson was goddess of liberty, she having received the largest number of votes in the con test. She was accompanied by two attendants, Misses Hazel Caldwell and Audrq wx, and a crowd of Bend's young ladies and little girls representing the states of the union. The parade led the crowd to the grounds, where an interesting pro gram was given consisting of songs, prayer, reading of the Declaration of Independence and a very able address of a few tniuutes by the Hon. W. K. Gucrin, Jr. 3,000 Trout Served. Then came the grand trout bar becue and basket dinner. Numer ous tables had been made for the occasion. These were soon 'dis tributed over the grounds iu the shade of the trees land various fam ilies, cliques, and neighborhood crowds were gathered around them unpacking the good things from their dinner baskets. And during nit this time Charley Cottor and his corps of assistants were busy over a great stone stove frying those de licious peschutes trout. This was undoubtedly the chief feature of the day. a For n!oUt three hours these men were kept busy supply ing the hungry crowd, and when their task was finished they had served close to 3,000 trout. The two crews sent out caught about 3,500 fish. These were added to by the catch of a few ludividual fishermen, bringuig the total up to 3,000, It is doubtful if there has ever been iu the United (States n similar event, where 1,30a people gnthrrcil beneath the big pines, be side running water nud fcatcd on toothsome trout until nil were satis fied and none went away hungry Where is there nnother community iu which this could be done and the fish caught legitimately, no traps, net or other unlawful contrivance hnviiig been used? Great in the Dcichutcs river and toothsome are the trout therein. One man re marked that he had been to clam bakes galprc, to ox barbecues, and to feasts of various kinds hut Bend's trout barbecue excelled all of them in uniqueness and in the quality of the food served. Races nnd Other Sports. Thr afternoon sport began with n ball game between the Princvillc Cubs nnd the Bend school team. The game was a disappointment' to Bend and a source of satisfaction to the Princvillc delegation. The Bend boys played to' the losing end of the game and the score closed 15 to o in the Cubs' favor. The ball game was follbwcd by several foot races that furnished amusement to the crowd. A trap shoot, with three events, was then pulled off with Princvillc sportsmen winning most of the money. Loyd Yancy rode the festive broncho that bucked and bucked and bucked in vain. A purse of $30 was his re ward. Later in the day another purse of $to was raised and Yancy rode another broncho with the bucking habit, to the amusement of a crowd ol spectators. He soon had the horse conquered aud rode him back to tbestablc. Following the trap shooting the horse races were pulled off, consist ing of two pony races nud a free-tor-all horse race. Something of a surprise was sprung on some of the sports in these events. Winter Bros, of Tumalo had entered a little gray filly in the pony races at which some of the judges of horse flesh were inclined to laugh, but their laughter changed to chagrin when "Funny" jumped in ahead of their favorites and took first money in both events. A full report of the other winners is given below. In the eveuing a good display of fireworks was shot oiTand the bow cry was lit up and a fine and good looking crowd of young folks tripped the light fantsatic until the Fourth was. no more nud tim,c was marked as the fifth.

The umount of stock held by Mr. Cottor and members of his furaily iu the original Lytle company was $25,000, SURVEYORS ARE BUSY Railroad Crews Still Hard at Work. WHAT LAKEVIEWMAN THINKS Is Confident that Centrol nnd'South- eastern Oregon Will Soon Enjoy Kail Transportation. That Harriniitn, Gould or who ever it is that is running the rail road surveys across Central and SoutheasternOregon is not letting up in the work is shown in n dis patch to the Orcgoniau from Lake view. The news (herein would in dicate that the work is being pushed as vigorously as ever, that grade stakes arc being set, and that there is an evident intention to complete the surveys as rapidly as possible. Bend people are interested in these surveys to the south and east. Those are two of the directions from which it is confidently expect ed n road will be pushed into this section. Other possibilities arc the extension of the Corvallis & East ern across the mountains and the building of the Oregon Trunk Line up the Deschutes river. Bulletin readers will be interested in knowing what the people at Lakeview think of railroad pros pects. Lakcview is at present the headquarters of the crews working in Central nnd Southeastern Ore gon. The dispatch reads: Lakkvibw, Or., June 30. Is there going to be railroad construc tion in Southeastern Oregon soon, and if so, where is the road going to cross the country, and who is to build it Harriman o r Gould? These arc questions that agitate the minds of most-people in this local itv this sprinc Certain it is that someone is spending a great deal of money running surveys in every direction across Southeastern Ore gon. Crews of surveyors arc busy near Silver Lake, Plush and Lake view, in this county, now, and the people who are here have been op eratiutr from Burns for a year or more past. Over in Warner valley, about 45 miles east of Lakeview, and one of the richest sections of all Eastern Oregon, the surveyors who ran the preliminary lines have been fol lowed bv parties placing what ap pear to be permanent grade stakes, and excitement is intense. Every thing that is usual to railroad ex ploitation of a new country is hap pening. vAt Plush, which is merely a small trading point and postoflicc, a towusite has been surveyed and laid out in lots, nnd there is only needed the actual ring of the sledge spikiug rails to the ties to see a first-class boom. The proposed road there runs north aud south through some of the largest and finest Mock ranches in the West ranches consisting of thousands up on thousands of acres of natural meadow land, from which are cut several hundred thousand tons of hay annually, and on which graze great herds of Hereford and Dur ham cnttlc. This proposed road taps a country in which zealous and energetic prospectors are busy iu many places searching for hidden mineral wealth, which they declare to be in that locality. There are also thousands of acres of rich sage brush laud that needs only the hand of man and some irrigation to make it the richest laud in the West, And the water is declared to be there to do the work. In the Silver Lake country, in northern Lake county, the survey ors have their crews working both north and south and east and west, aud there is plenty of excitement. The head of the whole work is C, Stradley, a civil engineer, with I headquarters iu Lakeview. Ho isn't saying for whom he is workintr, or what 'he is attempting to do) but A foFce of men is busy every day be hind closed doors at the office end of the work, nnd othen; arc execut ing the orders in the field. There is a demand for men to join the sur veying parties, arid every avail able workman is picked uo and sent to the camps. just south of here, in Modoc county, Northern California, men who arc acting under orders from the Lakeview headquarters, are at work, and there is a feeling of cer tainty that between some of these ranges of mountains that divide Southeastern Oregon into valleys lying north and south, a railroad will be constructed. While specu lation is rife as to who is behind the work, there is good reason to be lieve that it is the Harriman sys tem. Whether the new road, when built, will connect thi-t lOcal.ty with the Southern Pacific as it c:oss- NeVada or California, or whether it will connect with one of the lines that branch olTfrom the O.R &N. along the Columbia river or with a road yet to be constructed from Natron to Ontario, are questions that arc causing much speculation. But there is a feeling that a railroad will be built soon which will give Lake county better connection with other parts of the West. LIKES T.ME COUNJRY. Eastern Capitalist Says We lave a Beautiful uad Promising Land. F. S. Stanley and Frank H,arvey have been iu Bend -and vicinity dur ing the past week going over the lands and reclamation system of the Deschutes Irrigation nud Power Company. Mr. Harvey is. a capi talist of Columbus, Ohio, and a stockholder in the big irrigation company. This was his first visit to this section and he is very favor ably impressed, with the outlook here. Mr. Harvey remarked to The Bulletin that wc bad a beautiful country here and one that possessed all the characteristics of a thriving and prosperous community with one exception and that one excep tion was railrpatf transportation.. But he was confident that we would have that, lack supplied iq a, shqrt time. Messrs. Stanley and Harvey made a thorough inspection of the rec lamation system and visited several of the large ranches east of tqwn. A.NEWSAYAILL. 1 One May Bo Established te the Rostand Country. Poore Bros, of Santa Barbara, California, were in these parts re cently looking over the field with the view of establishing a sawmill on the John Mastcn place not far from Rosland. There is a lot of good timber contiguous ta this site and, in view of the fact that there are no mills iu that region, one there located should work up quite a business. The gentlemen were well pleased with the prospects and the mill will undoubtedly be built. Little River, n tributary of the Deschutes, will furnish water for this mill. New Courthouse Foundation. Iu about six weeks the founda tion of the new Crook county court house will be finished. It already looks proud of itself, Everything is now finished but a part of the east wall, the stairs aud the jail vault. The stone men are artists in their line, the type of work be ing the finest we have ever seen, The heighth of the foundation from the groutu is ioj ieet, which will be imposing when thesuperstructure rests upon it. The old county jail has been used as a toolhouse by the workmen but the new steel cage is already in positiou waiting for pos sible prisoners. Review.
