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. ,

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.

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.

. Funeral -servicM in the pres
'ence ot t'ac sacred remains of

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

brance. A short time before she

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.

MANY IA1PROVEMENTS.

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. Then we have one
