HanU fslilB REPUBLICANS BrST Gather at Rednioud to Dis cuss Family Affairs. II. CELUSPOR COUNTY JUDGE the Delegates Endorse Candidate for County Judge Sheriff, -Treasurer, Superintendent and Assessor. The politician of the county ore beginning to play the game, candi dates arc bobbing up for the differ cut offices, and in a short time the campaign will be on in full swing. The first step of public notice was taken at Redmond last Saturday, Feb. 1. At a family gathering of republicans held at that place to consider the good and welfare of the party at the coming elections, rep resentatives were present from the precincts of Bend, Black Butte, Laldlaw, Montgomery, Redmond and Powell Buttes. The meeting was organised by the selection of Win D. Barnes as chairman and C. M. Mudd as secretary. After a general discussion of the qucstiou of supporting candidates for the various county offices from among those who have declared their intention of filing nominating petitions, it was the sense of the meeting that republican success at the June election and a more equit able distribution of the county, of flees throughout the county can best be attained by uniting strength on capable candidates at the pri maries, so as to give to each dis trict in the county, equal represen tation so far as possible. It was also the belief of the meeting that each precinct should endeavor to unite its strength on rrfic candidate in the precinct, in the interest of harmony and success nt the polls. For county judge the name of H. C EIIUofBend was presented, and on a roll ca1 Mr. Ellis was un animously endorsed by the meeting. There were two candidates for county superintendent of schools asking for the support of the meet ing R. A. Ford of Black Butte precinct nnd M. A. Lehman of Montgomery precinct. The meet ing ballotod on the two candidates, each precinct having otic vote. The ballot resulted, Ford .-, Lehman r. For sheriff the meeting unani mously endorsed the present incuni- bent, Frank Elkins of Kutchucr precinct Similar action was taken in regard to the office of county treasurer, Coutity Treasurer Kins receiving the unanimous endorse ment of t)ie meeting. There were also two candidates in the field for assessor, F. E. Day ton of Laidlaw and II. F. Jones of Redmond. It seemed to be the sense of the meeting that Laidlaw ought not to ask for the assessor ship inasmuch as it alrcudv had a county commissioner and had a can didate for district attorney in tbc field. The ballot on assessor re sulted, Jones 4, Dayton 1. For the offices of county clerk, commissioner, surveyor and cor ouer no candidates were offered nnd the meeting took no action on these offices. C. M. Rcdficld was elected a del egate to represent the precincts present at the Redmond meeting at any republican meeting hereafter called iu the county and also to have the power to call a meeting at any time before the primary elec tion. The county offices to be filled at the coming .election arc county judge, clerk, sheriff, treasurer, one commissioner, assessor, superin tendent of schools, surveyor and corouer. , money In Pat Cattle. ti.

It is the present plan to have the room open each evening, where club members can meet and where strangers can be taken when they are in town. Kxhibitsofthc grain, grasses, vegetables, etc. of this sec tion will be assembled, with maps and statistics. In short the rooms will be the advertising headquarters for Bend and the Bend country. Let everyone lend his support. NEW SCHOOL DISTRICT. Settlers North of Redmond Will BuHd School Home. Last week there was a public meeting held in the Sage Flat neigh borhood, six miles north of Red mond, for the purpose of organiz ing a new school district and build ing a school bouse. There were 18 settlers in attendance at the meet ing. Mr. Eby was chosen chair man and Mr. Allen secretary of the meeting. After a general discussion of the matter a committee was appointed, consisting of Messrs. Eby, Allen and Davidson, to confer with the proper county officials in regard to the creation of a new school district and also to take the necessary steps to build a school house. The building will probably be erected on the southwest quarter of section 16, 4-i3. The number of settlers at this meeting gives some idea of the rapid settlement that is taking place iu that section. The Sage Flat neighborhood is getting in line with other districts over the' county and the settlers there intend to see that their children etc supplied with school facilities. ENTERS COMPLAINT.

LIGHTS FOR BEND Electric Power Plant Wl'lf Be Built at Lava Fails. DEVELOP 2,000 HORSEPOWER Towns of Bend, Laidlaw, Redmond and PrfnevMo WHI Bo Given a U Hour Current. A dispatch to the Oregonian says that II. V. Gales, of Hillsboro. president of the Prineville Light & Water Company and several other lichtinr plants throughout the state, has given out that construe tion of an immense power plant at Lava Balls, on the Deschutes, six miles south of Bend, will begin in the early spring. The plant is to be completed within a year. It is to cost $t en.oco and will serve tc towns of Bend, Laidlaw, Redmond and Prineville with a ax-hour cur rent for lighting and other purposes The company expects to secure 3000 horse-power at Lava Falls. Negotiations between Mr. Gatvs and P. S. Stanley, of the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Company, which has filed oa the water right there, are now under way. The company has agreed to transfer to Mr. Gates all the water necessary for the protect, reserving an amount necessary for the reclamation of its segregation. Aneinquirr at the -office of the D. I. $.. P. Co. in-Bend could elicit no confirmation as to the above, although it is admitted that Mr Gates has conferred with Mr. Stan ley in regard to this matter. A very rough estimate places the power available at Lava Fafts at about 7500 horse-power. DEATH SUMMONS TWO. Mri Susan Sbemore and. Mrs. Ca-ife-ertae Berlin Antwer Death's C&H.'

Mrs. Ber In had been in excel lent health till less than a week ago when a trouble set in taak devel oped intd peritonitis. For more than three hours she tamea ramii iarly to her friends and made prep arations fdr her going away. Her regret was not so much for herseii, but she sorrowed td leave husband and children and bdme and friends. This she said sevcriP times in a strong, loving, confident voice. Her thought was for her friends whom she remembered by leaving them each some token of remem brance. A short time before she was called away she joined with friends in singing "Rock of Ages." The pell bearers -rfere equally from the Knights of Pythias and the Modern Woodmen of America, of t which orders Mr. Berlin is a member. The two orders attended the services in a body. The interest and sympathy ex pressed by the community, both while the cloud hung over the home and in the latge congregation at the chprch service were all that could have beea rendered to one tone resident amoag the people, all showing the high place Mrs. Berlin occupied in the affections ot her neighbors.

Tumalo, Feb. 3. -In consider ing the many improvements that have taken place in Western Crook couniy in the past five or six years, it is wonderful to think, wnat mac can do in such a short time. The following list will partly show what has been done toward the building up of what will in a few years be one of the most productive and wealthy countries in the West. This article is written voluntarily and not for the purpose of boosting up the coaatry, but rather to show what the people are doing and what they have accomplished. We have here .a country with a climate that cannot be beaten for health and mild wanters, although we have some snow but not to, any d;pth. Our cold weatbwiis of such a dry nature that one .foas not notice it like in other countries where the climate Is damp. Only a few years ago the yearly rainfall was only about eight inches but siuce irrigation has beguu it has greatly increased about double that of past years. Our soil here nonproven far be yond expectations in productiveness and gets better as it is tilled, as the particles of the soil decay and form a rich productive land that will surprise the old settlers who have to acknowledge that it is wonderful what a change working the soil will do. We have schools scattered over the desert, churches and Sunday schools organized, marl ton tea and postoffices established. Telephone lines built which connect the -farm ers' homes ana wmcu maes hk seem more real, some of theselinw; are owned by the farmers, some by the Deschutes Telephone Compauy. Irrigation ditches have been built to reclaim lands and furnish water for domestic purposes to the mam farmers. Besides our beautiful climate and productive soil we have a beautiful river ruuniug through the valley which anorus magnmcent water power for electric roads andrfur u.Isbtfl abundant water for Irriga tion purposes.
