THE PRICE NAMED IS $10,000 Council Will Hmploy Hnglneer to Fur nish Ultimate of Coit on (Irnvlty System and Light Plant. Wednesday evening nn adjourned meeting of the city council was held to receive and consider the proposi tion for the sale to the city of the water system and other property of the Deuel Water, Unlit & Power Conipany, heretofore referred to in these columns. J. E. Sawhill, in behalf of the syndicate which has recently takan over till property, appeared before the council and submitted a propo sition, the chief points of which arc as follows: The company will sell all its holdings inclttdhig i,ts tangi ble property, such as pipe lines, water tower, pumping station, etc., and its intangible property, which includes the franchise to use the streets and also the rights to the streets originally reserved by the P. II. D. Co. at the time of the dctl icatioti of the townsitc of Bend. The consideration to be between $14,000 and $15,000 less the earn ings of the plant since its installa tion, which would amount to $3,000 or $4,000, biingiug the amount down tb about $11, 00a or $12,000, This was cut further, the consider ation being liuaiiy placed at an even $10,000. This docs not include the five cubic feet of water sold to the company by A. M. Drake and the lB. I). Co., this water being that used for irrigation from the open ditches. After considering the matter the council instructed City Recorder Ellis to confer with the city engi neers of Portland and other cities and get their recommendation for some competent hydraulic and elec tric engineer. Such engineer to, be employed by the city to furnish au estimate of the cost of installing a gravity water system, plans for such a system, and also plans and esti mates of the cost of an electric light plant suitable for the present needs of the city and capable ol bciti en larged as needed. The council also took action to ascertain the means of raising funds for the contemplated improvements and as soou as possible will submit two propositions to the citizens; first, the purchase of the present company's property as above out lined and the building of a gravity system; second, the building of an electric light plant. By submitting the two propositions separately, the citizens will have the opportunity to accept both or to lay over until some future date, both or either one of the two plans. In view of the fact that the earlier water filings of the D. I. & P. Co. arc prior to the rights to water ob tained by the city, it was also de termined by the council to secure, if possible, in case the city takes over the system, concessions from the D. I. & P. Co. which will give the city uudisputed right to a certain amount of watcr to be takeu from the river. Mr. Sawhill intimated that such a concession could prob ably be oblaiued for little or noth ing. With a gravity system installed it would -be au'casj' matter Id fur nish water for irrigation through open, ditches. LIKHD BEND'S CELEBRATION. What Outilde Papers Said In Regard to Our Big Fourth.

CONTEST CASE HEARD. K4. Sxyalley Brings Action against Homestead of Leon Prlarnke. 1 he furst 01 the week a contest case was. heard before Commisioner Kills, in which Kd. Swallcy brought a contest against Lcou Pclarskc's homestead on the Tumclloin iS-io. The contestant based his case on th,rcc points, abandonment of home stead, failure to cultivate, and fail ure to, establish residence. The contestcc introduced evidence to show that he has both a frame and a log house on the place, about ii acres or more cleared, some fenciutr done and other improve ments made in the way of a garden, fruit trees planted and grass seed sown. At one time he was called to Minnesota by the serious illness of his father and was absent several months but returned before the ex piration of the six months' limit and took up his residence on the homestead. Attorney W. P. Myers of Laid law appeared for the contestant and Attorney Benson of Bend for the contestcc. Poktland, July .6. Accomr panicd by a number of men inter ested in the Oregon Trunk Line, a projected railroad up the Deschutes from the mouth of the river, W. F. Nelson of Seattle, president of the road, expects to start this morning on an automobile trip over the pro posed route of the railroad to exam ine the obstacles to construction and make arrangements to begin work. The start will be made by boat from Portland to The Dalles, where the automobile will be un loaded and the overland trip com menced. The Oregon Trunk Line is pro jected into interior Oregon for a distance of 350 miles south from the mouth of that stream. The road has been surveyed a distance of 1 10 miles to Madras. Numerous diffi culties have attended the prelimi nary work on the road. Irrigation interests first came in contact with the project and it is supposed that the O. R. & N. will not aid the work to any extent for it proposes to enter territory now controlled al together by the Harriman interests. It is believed, however, that the promoters of the line are ready to go ahead, and interesting develop ments in the work arc promised. President Nelson has. a good rec ord as a railroad builder. $c has becii a railroad contractor far a long time, being a member of the con trading firm of Nelson & White of Seattle. Later he bought the inter ests of his partner. He built the portage road on the Columbia and also constructed the Great South ern, the railway operating south from The Dalles through Dufur. He still holds an interest in that property. Oregonian. cure title to such parts of the pub lic domain as are needed, (or the construction of this road. ' Most of" the country traversed by the sur veys is still public 'land. Acts of congress which are taken advan tage of by the Harriman officials provide that construction of Y road must be actively' begun within five year;. This gives the Oregon Eastern plenty of time in which to close up the preliminaries and to set earnestly to work without dan ger of losing title to the land need ed on which to lay the track. The Oregon Eastern project ha, never been in such promising shape asat present. TJiq activity in adopt ing locations is highly encouraging to the people of Portland as well as to those of the interior of the state, who have wailed so long for railroad facilities. Surveying on Oregon Trunk Line. Ialf i score of Oregon Trunk Line surveyors began operations Monday surveying along the Dei chutcs river up stream and down from the reclamation dam sight. Moro Observer. 1 Another Crew on the Deschutes. The Dalles Chronicle in its last issue says that Ray Harper, who is. with the Roberts sun-eying party, came in on his parents unawares a few' days ago. Mr. Harper says the surveying camp has been moved from Quinton to a point on the Des chutes to survey a branch of the Columbia Southern. WflAT HARRIMAN IS DOINU. STAVE FLUME IS ORDERED. It Will Cost tho I). I. & P. Co. tho Sum of $79,209. The D. I. & l Co. has recently contracted with the Douglas Fir National Pipe Company of Olympia for 1,6 1 3 lineal feet of pipe at a cost of $79,209. This is for the stave pipe or flume that is to be used to syphon water across the old river bed onto the company's laud around Powell Bttttes. During June the laud sales of the company aggregated 1,740 acres, amounting to $20,180. Also the company's expenditures for a sin gle week ending June 9 amounted to $8,500. Saloon License Notice.

Maps of the Oregon Eastern rail road, the projected Harriman line across eastern Oregou, are be ing adopted at meetings of directors of the road in the Worchester build ing, the Harriman headquarters. The fiual locations made by engi neers are being approved by the officials of the line and it is indicat ed that as soou as the entire line from Natron to Vale is adopted construction will be commenced, says the Oregonian. Maps showing the fiual locations from Vale to the boundary line be tween Lake and Haruey cottuties have been approved by the directors of the Oregou Eastern and adopted as the route of the uew road. This stretch of country reaches half way across Oregon and shows that the final work preparatory to con struction is beiuc rapidly closed up. The good progress that Is being made on the final locations indi cates that the Oregon Eastern will soon graduate from the paper rail road class and become a reality. As the locations are adopted by the directors, the limps are filed in the laud offices of Central Oregon, mis Deing au mat js necessary to se- Another Railroad for Central Oregon. Mr. Tor Marshall, a traveling man, has been, calling upon our merchants this week- He came in by the way of D.ufur, Tygh Valley and Wapin'ttia, and he reports a sur veying party of 45 at Wapiuitia making a survey up the river. They are supppsed to be Mt. Hood Rail road surveyors. Laidhw Chron icle. TheM.t. IJood Railroad is one to be constructed from Portland to Mt. Hood. It is now said this road will probably be extended into Cen tral Oregon. The surveyors men tioned above are looking for a suit able route. Can' Hunt Buck Deer Now. Something which probably not one sportsman in fifty is aware of, is that the open season in Oregon for hunting and killing buck deer opened on July 15, one month earlier than last year, says an exchange. This will give sportsmen three apd a half months in which to hunt deer, instead of two and a half as heretofore. The change in the Jaw was made during the last session of the state legislature by an amend ment introduced in the house by Representative Bones on January 33, and numbered House Bill 151. The amendment also revokes the law which made it legal to shoot dogs that were in pursuit of deer. Would Llko to Come Back. A letter justrcceived from Rev. J. C. George states he has very hard work to keep from getting home sick for our beautiful Deschutes, country. He says they have had a very late spring in Iowa nnd an early frost will ruin the corn crop.
