Work, ' IN PILOT BUTTfiSnaREQATfON . i - Tract of 38, 404 Acres Comes undtr th Order-WWI Be of 'Much Benefit to Settlers. ' Word was received in Bend Tues day that "Lists for Patent Nos". 3 and 4" submitted by the Deschutes Irrigation fit Power Company, through the State of Oregon, had been approved by the federal dffi- dais and that patents to this land would be Issued to the state at once. The lists approved comprise ap proximately 38,404 acres and the land lies entirely In the Pilot Butte segregation. i&ttlers have been anxiously waiting for this news for soe time. Many of them have paid for their land in full and have fulfilled the requirements of the law as to settlement and cultivation. They could not obtain their patents, how ever, because the land bad hot been approved for patent by the federal officials. The ditch company has bepn working to hurry this matter along, but until now was unable to secure action by tbe officials at Washington. Now settlers who arc living on the lund and have made the necessary cultivation can offer final proof and get their patents as soon as they make payment in full to the company. This arrangement will be of ben efit to many Frequently a settler desires to borrow money with which to improve his land. With out n patent lie could not offer the land as security and thus in many cases was unable to make the loan. The lack of patents has proven quite a serious inconvenience. It is also believed that sales Of land will be more rapid hereafter Men have been slow In contracting fur ditch laud when title thereto was stilt held by the United States and patent had not been issued to the state. Now, however, that un pleasant feature will bother no longer, and the purchaser will be able to secure his patent as soon as he makes the necessary residence and cultivation nud satisfies the lieu held by the ditch company for reclaiming the laud.

HAD BEEN DEAD MANY WEEKS Two Indians Run acrow Cerate afeeui J3 MKcs Southeast of Bead near John AtcPtrarse Ranch. Last Monday two Indians found the badly decomposed body of an unknown man in the timber near Pine mountain, about 33 or 40 mites southeast of Bend. The In diani at once reported the find to John MePherson, whose ranch is about eight miles from where the body was found. The nest day, accompanied by the Indians, Mc Pbersoa visited tbe piece and satis fied himself as to the truthfulness 0 the story, and then came to Bend in order to 'phone to the sheriff, arriving la town Wednesday. Sher iff Iilkins instructed Constable A. C. Lwas and John Atkinson, a justice of the peace, to go and make as much an examination of tbe body as possible and to dispose of tbe corpse. Tbe two men left yes terday morning for the scene of the tragedy and are expected home to night MePherson reported that the body is so badly decomposed that identification would be impossible, the features of the face being en tirely destroyed. The body lay on its back and there was no signs of a struggle except that the heels had been dug into the ground slightly, probably during the man's death agony. His coat,, vest and shirt are missing, but the corpse was still clothed in a pair of blue black trousers and a peculiar make of shoes. A few feet from the corpse are evidence of a fire, which the man probably started. MePherson made no examination of the corpse, and nothing is knowu of the man's idchtity. The suppo sition is that he became lost and died from hunger and thirst. Con stable Lucas may find some paper of identification when he examines the body. RULE AS TO PAYMENTS.
