Poster, of tile" find of Poster & Myers of Powell Butte, was in Dend the first of the week hnullnjj lumber for a new house on his ranch. Poster & Myers arc the owners of a threshing machine that did most of the threshing iu this scctiou laHt fall, and Mr. Poster re ported some very interesting statis tics to The Bulletin as to the amount of grain that their machine had threshed. In the Powell Buttes neighbor hood there were threshed 14,781 bushels; iu the Sisters and Laidlaw sections, ij.ioa bushels: in the Redmond settlement, 9,463 bushels; or a total of 38,348 bushels. The best yield per acre was made by B. II. Lockycar, whose oats threshed 67 -bushels to the acre These oats were especially heavy and weighed 40 lb. per bushel measure. The legal weight for a bushel of oats is 33 lb. Hence, if you figure this out it shows that Mr. Lockycar's oats yielded, by weight, 83 bushels per acre. Mr. Poster says lie feels positive thot the average yield of the season's crop would be close to 50 bushels per acre. He also says that the best crops ycre grown on irrigated land on the desert. The best yield of all crops from any one ranch was made by the Cline Falls Power Co.'s ranch, A good example of what can be done by drv farming in the Powell luittcs section was furnished this year by D. A. Votes. He got a yield of 1530 bushels of barley from 45 acres, or nearly 34 bushels per acre. This crop was on first year laud and did not have n drop of ir rigatiou water. Sctiuebcl to Succeed Bristol. On Tuesday President Roosevelt sent iu the name ol Christian Schucbcl to the scuatc for United States district attorney for Oregon, to succeed W. C. Bristol, whose nomination has been withdrawn. Senator Bourne favored the appoint ment of Attorney Schuebel, but the other members or the Oregon dele gation had agreed to recommend Attorney Bingham. Captures lUby Coucar, -$?. M. Scott, who has a home stead between here mid Bly, has seen cougar tracks near his place for some time and one day week be foro last concluded to take his dogs out and capture Mr. nnd Mrs. Cougar, ' He huuled around for nwhttu but found no tracks, but soon the dogs begau barking only a short distance nwnv. Going to wiicre the dogs were he found they hud two vounir couirnrs killed. In looking arouud Mr. Scott saw an other babv coucar. and having a rope with him, slipped it' over the young cougars head, taking him home, Silver Lake Leader, t University Correspondence Courses.

Will Do Tried Again. FINDS GOLD QUARTZ Mineral Bearing Rock on Powell Buttes. INDICATIONS ARE PROMISING Riley Brown, an Old-Time Prospector, Discovers Two Velrw that May I'roVe Very Valuable. KxCongrcssraan J. N. William son of Prineville has won in his ap peal to the United States Supreme Court. That body holds that the? judge before whom Villiamson was tried erred in admitting Certain evi dence and in his instructions to the jury. The case was remanded for retrial. Prancis J. Hency, who prosecuted Williamson in behalf of the Government, says that William sou will be tried agnin. In the trial of Wiljiamson evi dence was introduced to show that he had entered into contracts with parties Tdr the purchase of their land after ttiese parties had filed on the lands and before they bad made final proof. The government's at torney claimed that such action was in violation df the timber and stone act and the trial judge sustained them in their contention. The supreme court says that was an error and interpret the timber and stone act to mean that an applicant must swear, at time of filing on land, that h has entered into no contract for sale of same, but that he is not required to swear to this provision at time of making final proof. The higher court sustained the Government in every particular ex cept as to the above, but ruled that that was error It was shown in the trials that Williamson had in duced men to file on land with the contract existing between them that the land should be turned over to Williamson for a stipulated sum. At time of filing these men svorc that they had entered into no such coutract. The Supjcme Court held that such a contract is iu violation of the timber aud stone act. now bejng offertjl byjbe,Jnier- especially for .t&chcrs, atideuts preiwriutfrorcollifsor University, In its report, the Orcgonian says: Wasiiisoto.h, Jan. 6.Becauc the judge before whom cx-Keprcfccntativc Wlllfaintou t tiled crrol In Ills in struction to the jury, the judgment of the lower court va today reversed by the I'nltcd State Supreme Court and the cusc remanded for retrial. That the tmllctincnt was correct, that the admis sion of evidence was in accordance with, law and that the ruling of the court were right lUid proixrr Is affirmed, but because the trial judge erred in admit ting certain testimony w 1th regard to, final proofs anil because he erroneously instructed the jury with regard to thf tdmc evidence, the whole case must' again go to trial or the indictment must be quashed. The Supremo Court construe the tim ber and stone act cclfically to icquire entry men, at the time of making applica tion for land, to submit an auUtavlt of Kood faith, hoiug that tltcy have no agreement, actual or implied, to sell the land upon acquiring title, but there is no requirement that such an Affidavit shall be made when final proof Is sub mitted. The indictment of Williamson tutde specific reference to the adidavit required by law, and did not mention the shuillar affidavit which is exacted y tlte-iand office regulations at the time'of filial proof. Vet evidence was ndmilted toshow that vinous entrytnen had com mlUcdterjury in inakluu bitch affidavits with their final proof, and the judge, in his instructions to the jury, specifically Informed it that it could return a verdict tof guilty' if satisfied1 -that the evidence auoweu suvn ierjr)"n occn cumula ted at the time of iWng final proof.

In its ophjloa trHJ'Bupwnit'CourJ ml-' Gold bearing rock has been found on Powell Buttes in two separate veins, and as far as can now be de tcrmined vvithott an assay, every' thing indicates that mines of no mean value will-be developed there. Tbe tindi was. biade by Riley Brown, an oW-tlme4 prospector, who was engaged by Elmer Niswonger and C. D. Brdwn to visit the buttes and examine soVue indications of mineral j which Mr. Niswonger bad noticed three or foUr years ago. Not know ing much about mining, be bad paid bht little attention to it until the opportunity presented itself to secure the services of tbe old pros pector. Brown struck the lead a week ago last Saturday but Tbe Bulletin was sworn to secrecy and could not give out tbe word uatij permission was given. Messrs. Niswonger and Brown made arrangements to stake tbe old man and sent hint to tbe buttes accompanied by George Hobbs, who was to show bim ever the ground. Hobbs first took the pros pcc6r te a vein whicb hen and his brother. fccc n&d noticed a few years ago. It was at once, pronounced gold bearing and the old man said it was a second Oregon King, his on having discovered that mine. The vein is of porphyry and while no colors are visible to the naked eye and very few under the micro scope, the old prospector say t is practically sure tcubc rich in gold. The vein is on the southwest end of Powell Buttes and is plainly vis ible from the top to tbe bottom of thebulte. Hobbs and others at once got location blanks and staked out claims. An assay of this rock has been made, but the, locaters are not saying just how much value the assay indicates. After Brown had satisfied these people he quietly began work oq the float whicb Niswonget had noticed, saying nothing ,to anyone; He found this float about two miles south and a half mile east of the station and about four miles from the first find. As soon ns he locat ed the float he dug down 2 feet and located the real vein. This . is of granite formation, very hard and unbroken, and is about seven feet wide at this point. Two of three blasts have been shot off and some of the rock sent away for an assay, rehtrus from which have not yet Veen received. However, the old man believes it is one of the most valuable finds of the whole country. I He took a piece of the rck about a cuoic lucu iu sue uuu a-uuroi 11 iv powder, getting a spoonful of pow dered rock. In that there were six colors visible lo the uaked eye. That promises very rich ore and is apparently much more valuable than the first find. The old pros pector has visited the mines at Wiudy Hollow in the Lakcview country, and says the Powell Buttes rock Is far superior to that at Windy Hollow. The vein runs from thb northwest to the southeast.

Rkdmond, Jan. 6. There was a grand picnic, feed and general blowout at Forked Horn Hall 03 Friday night. Over 100 were present Including large delegations from Bend, J,aidlaw, Cline Falls, Redmond and other places. The crowd was too big for the building so fires were built outside for the accommo dation of all. Did you ever sec such a country for such gatherings? As C W. Muma was starting for Shan iko Thursday we noticed that he liad oil household goods for Walter Gillespie and family, also for Cal Richardson and mother. Mr. and Mrs. Gillespie aim to follow 011 Tuesday, but wc did not sue cecd iu learning when Mr. Richardson will go out. Several of the good women of the neighborhood perpetrated a pleasant surprise on Mrs, Gillespie Thursday, the occasion being the nearness of her de parturc for the old home in North Da dota. The surprise was complete, but the ladies had their dinners with them and did not run out ot anything except coffee. They spent a very enjoyable day and everyone left with best wishes for everybody else. The Christmas Sunday school enter tainment came off on New Years eve and was just as successful as alt those affairs arc when baudlcd by our local talent.
