WAS A POPULAR Y0UNQ MAN llndy Pound Floating Pace Downward In Four Feet of WotcrManagcr of Cllno Falls Power Co, . L RicnMO.N'n, Dec. 23. This com niuuity has lccn shocked and sad dened by the dentil of Ed Hulburt, mHiingt-r of the Clinc Pq1Ii Power Company's property nt Clitic Falls, whole body was found ( Saturday evening hi the Intake to the flume thill supplies water for the hydraulic ram and the turbine wheel pump tor irrigating the ranch. Briefly Mated nnd as near as can he learned nt present, the facts arc as follow: Saturday morning about 11:30 o'clock L. 12. Prickctt "went to water Ills horses nnd saw Mr Htilburt just stnrtiug over the blufl to go down nnd start the ram. This was probably the last time he was seen alive. About noon the ranch cook, Mr. Muller. who had been helping to decorate n Christmas tree at the school house, came in, got his din tier, ate it, washed his dishes, left dinner for Mr. Hulburt and re turned to the school house. Re turning about 4 o'clock, he saw that no ouc had been there, and be gan a search, going first down to the power house. When about two-thirds down the bluff he saw a hat lying beside the river and a lit tle further down saw the body float ing face downward in the flume in four or five feet of water. It seems that Mr. Hulburt had cleaned the screens that admit wat er to the ram and wheel, had gone below nnd started the ram, had re turned and crossed the flume, and from that it is mere conjecture. It is thought that he may have had an nttuck of heart, failure, or spell of dizziness nnd have fallen into the water. As far ns could be learned there were no marks of violence on the body, a bruise ou the forehead, but hardly one that would have stunned him. Mr. Muller got the body out of the water nnd with the help of Messrs. Chase, Bishop nnd Merc dith, carried it up the hill to the ranch house. The first ones to sec the body noticed blood in the inner corner of one eye, nnd the supposi tion ut first was that it was a bullet wound but n close examination lat er by the coroner showed that there was no wound of that kind. The brain also was npparcutly in tvper fectly normal condition. A preliminary inquest was held before Justice Jones, who was called, nnd the final inquest will be held tonight with the following jury: Meredith, McCarty, Sears, the other mail carrier, Lilly aud Harnder. The Frincville parties, Dr. Ed wards, Judge Hell, Sheriff Elklus and Deputy Sheriff Combs, arrived about 1 o'clock today and the in quest will probably be in session all night. Mr. Hulburt, who came here eight or nine months ago to take the place of Mr. Thompson, was a brother of the banker at Shauiko of the same name, who Is a heavy stockholder iu the Cline Falls Pow er Company. He was a young man of good habits, a pleasant, agreeable acquaintance, and rumor has it, was soon to be married to a )oung lady who lives iu t'ic vicin ity of the falls. The Christmas exercises at the school house which were to he held Saturday evening, have been post poned until Wednesday evening. The brother is expected to arrive from Sl.nniko some time tonight. E. C. Pakk. Later, Sheriff Elkins brought the news to Ilcnd that a post mor tem examination by Dr. Edwards showed that the unfortunate man died from heart failure, the left ventricle being' in very bad condi tion. There was a little water in the lungs, but only a little. It is supposed that Hulburt felt an attack coming on, stooped over to Inthe his face, and fell into the flume. Editor. Tumalo Items.

Mad Cow Makes Lively Time, Andrew Larson had a very ex citing experience last Saturday with n vicious cow which had been marked for slaughter and which was being driven to the slaughter pen. The cow did not drive easily, and getting warmed up, finally turned as they were crossing the towusite, and attacked the horse which Larseu was riding, goring the horse aud fighting viciously. Several persons wbo essayed to help were charged by the infuriated beast aud had to seek safety behind barn doors. Mr. Larseu fiunllv se cured several m'.-u on horses to help him, aud succeeded iu getting the cow coralled at the slaugher pen. Madras i'lonecr. PURCHASE TOWNSITE Laidlaw Sold to Mt. Hood Railroad Company. WILL BUILD ACROSS STATE Present Transaction Meant that the Long-Desired Railroad Will Bo Uullt Into Central Oregon, It is stated on good authority that deeds arc being prepared at Frincville for the sale of the town- site of Laidlaw to the Mount Hood Railroad & Power Company. This is the company that, it has been said, would build an electric road across Central Oretron to connect with a Moffat line in Nevada. The purchase of the Laidlaw townsite with its adjacent water power possi bilities, lends great confirmation to this story and discloses to a certain ty the intention of the Mount Hood company to build this road as above stated. Regarding the pur chase of Laidlaw and its bearing on the railroad question in Central Oregon, the Oregonian has the fol lowing article in Tuesday's issue: "Confirmation of the story -printed some time ago that the Mount Hood Railroad & rower Company will build a standanl-guage railroad across the state Utat will connect with the Moffatt road from Denver, giving Portland another transcontinental line, it found in the purchase of tbe townsite of Laidlaw, In the Deschutes valley, by the Mount Hood people. It ha,s been known for some time that options on Crook county property had been secured by the Mount Hood Interests, but this transaction U the first of any considerable size in that part of the state to be made public. "General Manager C W. Miller is not yet ready to announce the purchase of the Laidlaw townsite, although h? ad mits his company has run surreys through that district. However, at deeds are now being made at Prinerille trans ferring the townsite to the Mount Hood Railroad & Power Company, denials by the officials of the company are not tak en seriously. Ideal sites are found both above and below Laidlaw to furnish splendid water power for generation of electricity to operate the road. As pro jected this new line across Ute state U an electric road throughout. "The operations of the Mount Hood people have been masked with the Great est secrecy front tbe start. Officials have not been ready to announce the extent of their plans for obvious reasons, but they have not denied that they planned something more than an electric line to the base of Mount Hood. Kvery devel opment in connection wiUi the new road allows that the Western link in a trans continental scheme u being built at this end of the line. "Ilctwcen Portland and the summit of the Cascade range, which division will be built first, a double-track, fco-uiilc-an- hour road, laid with Spound steel, will be huljt. A maximum grade of 1 per cent for the first 50 miles has been se cured, and the highest curvature in the distance will be 6 degrees, with but few curves that great. Surveyors ltavc laid tbe line almost as straight ns the crow files. Hills will be dug away and low places filled, instead of permitting curves In the Hue. "The temporary power-house for use iu operating sawmills, lighting plant, pumps and other construction machin ery was started yesterday and works well. It develops joe horse-power nnd the water-wheels are driven under n 500 foot head, which la by far the highest head of water obtained in any of the' power plants in this part ot the country. Work is progressing rapidly on the per tnauent power station at Bull Run, The iultial installation of 10,000 horsepower will be in operation In April or May,'1 The Mount Hood is said to be backed by ex-Senator Clark o Montana, the copper multi-million aire. The project is fully financed, and there will be no delay in its coastructlou 00 account of kck ef 1 funds. Active construction work on the line cast from Portland has been in progress for several monthn until recently, when work wast abandoned on account of the un favorable winter weather. Tha camps are being maintained, how ever, and work will be resumed in' the spring. There is apparently more real life and ready cash be hind the Mount Hood road than behind any other line headed foe Central Oregon. The 6ne good feature in this news is that if the road builds to Laidlaw it will buitd on through Bend and across the state. That will give this section a transcontinental line, and will inaugurate the develop ment of the whole of Central Ore gon. . In view of the purchase o the Laidlaw townsite it is practi cally certain that construction of a. road into these parts will scon be announced and active wore com menced in the spring. Redmond Item.

C. Bauer Is In from the ditch camp, also Mr Lauderback. W. S. McBwing was a busiucss travel er to Bend tbe first of the week. Several of our citizens were banting from the mill at Prineville the latter part of the week. C W. Muma Is la frost a is days' trip to Shantko. On a short trip to O'Xell Wedneslsy we saw only three new house either completed or in process of construction. That's not very many, so the colonel told us of Chesslcy'a new houe on the way to Bend, started since we came over the road on Tuesday. McLallln and Welch are omong Uie nlmrods Uie past week, with what suc cess we did not learn. Tbe house warming at V. K. Yoang'a Friday night was very successful, about fifty being present. Elegant refresh ments were served. The ladies feel quite well pleased with the success of tbe bazaar, considering the weather and other disadvantages un der which Uicy labored. Quite a neat sum was realized. There will soon be some more dead junipers and totem poles lying around this place when we get that new stump puller limbered up, then some more ash heaps to grow, good spots of grain, ami then but that's another story.
