Slievlin, and remained until Tuesday morning, bin visit being for the purKe of acquainting himself with hi bold lug litre unci to attend to other btlMllievH IIIMttCI.

A City Hi M.000 lWvl. When interviewed by The Bulle tin, Mr. Survliu ulked very freely and enthusiastically and said: "I am much surprised, indeed, to find what I do at Hend. I had, of course, expected to ace some latent resource here awaiting develop ment, but what I find greatly ex ccf-dx my expectation!. Von have wonderful resource und wonderful possibilities. Vou Ik- at the gate way to thU hnve belt of limber, n very 'large part of which will be manufactured here became of your natural lootiou. Mend is destined to become a city mid u larger one than any man here uo.r especti.." "Weil, Mr. Shevlui, some of us bnve Hither large extwrtations along that Hue," the reporter replied. VI do not we how large your expectation-, urc," Mr. Shevliu an awereil. "Jlend's growth will ex ceed thu u:)Hrc(Ntiuua of the mot sanguine, and within to years after transportation is provided you will have a city of 23,000 people" "What do you thiul; of the tint ber in this section," he wan asked. "You have lotu of it aud it is a very good quality. Of cortirse you haven't got fir and timber' oC that class but you have an abundant Mipply and n very good gnulii of what we call Western yellow pine. I am well satisfied with what? I find in the timber line." Says llurrlrnnn Will llulM. "Can you give us qny informa tioiijAIr; Sficvliui in regard to the1 transportation question?" "Well yut need it. Aud you arc going to have it, Heud Will have a rnjlroml within two years at the Intent mid I believe within 12 months, Vou will have at least two rail muds within five years, I am confident. Ilntiimiiii is anxious to build into Central Oregon and the only thing tlutt stopped him was the recent panic. Iliirriiiinu lias his hands flill mid it will Ix: neces sary for him to sell bonds to build 11 line in here, but just as soon as he can sell the bonds he will build a railroad into this territory." "Do you not think that Hill has his eye on this section also and will extend his lines to tap this timber belt?" Hill's Lines Will A! Come. "No doubt of it. With his North Dank road he linn the finest grades in the world. Now all he bus to do is to cross the Columbia aud build tip the Deschutes river, take a hand in opening this section and Hot u share of the traffic that will be here iIcvcIo'khI." Mr. Slicvlin was very positive in his statements regarding the coin ing of a railroad. While naturally he would make no definite on iiounu'tiieiits, he was very insistent, while iu Heud, iu saying that Heud would have transportation and that right soon. Standing as he docs at the head of an extensive lumber bushiest arid enjoying close and friendly relations with J. J II ill bcine; niemlierM of the snme club at St Paul he is iu a oMtiou to know much of inside facts, and when he states that Heud will have n railroad within a certain time, he undoubtedly b.is Mroue; reasons for umkiui! such statements. It is known that he and Mr. Hill have diKiissed the question of buildiiiK a railroad here. Hill has had engi neers through this section aud bus complete reorts rugardiut' its re sources ami the opportunities for railroad building. Mr. Shuvliu's statements would st re up, the 11 very materially the belief that Hill, as well as Ilurrimmi, is anxious to ex tend his lines .Into this territory, (Cmicludcd ow pa 3-) INDICATIONS OF WATER Seepage (lstlir In Deep V.'sll at Pn- ell Unties auU It I Itclloed Drill Is nuf (Mr from Water.

W. Merrill, Druggist A LAND OF HISTORY Sicily's Past Replete with Interesting Invents. MANY WANS AND CONQUESTS A. Al. Drake Continues His Derlp tlon of Sicilian Life, with Much History Interwoven. Hail our time nermittcd, we would have taken other trips in Ihe neighborhood of Palermo, partic ularly to the cathedral nt Chc falir, which contains the finest mosaic) in the world; also to tbe ruins of Saluuto. the Sicilian Pom peii, uud especially to those of Selinus, the historic enemy of Se gestn, destroyed by the Cartha gpuians250 II C. From Palermo we went by rail to Girgcuti, first skirting tin-north-em shore of the island, then cross ing the mountainous interior to tbe south coast. The trip was exceedingly beauti ful ami picture-cue, winding through valleys and over the in terior plateau amid tl ic verdure of springtime, with almond blossoms everywhere aud lemo n and orange trees in full fruit. High above us on mountain crags ot numinits, pro tected by inacceMiii Die rimrocks, were occasional old c is lies or cities, ome of which are still inhabited; interesting rt-miuders of olden days P.sing through 01 le of the long tunnels, which comrx se about one third of a Sicilian rail way, we be gan to descend the s aulhern slope, where vegetation was stunted and the landscape Weaken ed by fumes from the sulphur mines which pitted the surface eve rywherc, im parting, an aprx-uranurc of the in fernal regions. Shorll y afterward we reached Girgenti station in a narrow vallev, with t he city itself perched on a ridge 100 O feet iu the uir, overlooking the s H- a mile or two distant. This ni i tthty rim rocked stronghold was c. died Agra gas by the Greeks, Agri sieutum by the Romans, and now C irgcnti bv the Italiaus. Time an i again it had been besieged by powerful armies, and on several occasions taken through treacher inhabitants siauehtered or y and its enslaved t Phalarr ised him Here it was that the tyran ruled 570 D. C. aim" anil self with the famous bri zeu bull, into which when healed re I hot, he inserted bis victims to h ear their shrieks come through ti ic open mouth ami give a tealistic effect PhalariV humorous nature is well illustrated by tryiug his 1 Irst ex periment with the man w "ho de signed and constructed the I mil for him. Prom the station a winding road climbs two and a half miles tt ) the modern town of 25,000 inhabit ans. siinforted bv the sulphur indui -try., nnd but one-tenth the site ol th J ancient city, which rolled in wcsvtth'J from its trade with Carthage. 1 ue view was something superb. G 'vP posite the station there is an abr ui?t drop of some 500 leet to the fi rt u terrace encircled oy a rulge vli4stt edge formed the city wall, ai id' atontr wiitcu on kuuiis were tut celebrated teuiples. After lunch we first Inspecfec,' the old town and cathedral, climb tug up and down the stone stair ways which mostly served fot streets, nnd then drove down Un winding road to the temples. Tin. charm of the laudscape lay in tin bright colorings fresh green gras on the slopes; scattered around were ancient olive trees with theii gnarled trunks and greenish gra leaves, while everywhere tit pro fusion were pinkish white aluiouc blossoms, reminding oucofplerr blossoms In Japan. Rising ab ove these arc the old temples and rt litis of yellow brown sandstone, the color Cf old gold iu sunlight tand utmost wet violet iu tbe shadows. QfrertieaU' tans' an iutenaely blue a ky while to the south the land slot e In genUe terraces to th glistens a Mediterranean, with its surf fringe! coast. There was nothing here suggestive of the feeling of lonch- iiens wc had experienced at Scgcstn, hut the simple grace and m.ijcity of the structures was so 111 keeping with their setting of bright liti scape as to warm up ones very soul The first wc came to was ihe Temple of Concord, the best pre served of the group, a perfect speci men of the finest Doiic arcbrtcc turc. Prom this we passed on to th Temple of Juno, of which little more than tbe columns remain standing, perched on the edge of a rock 390 feet high, and commanding a rnag nificicrit panorama in all directions. Here wc sat for quite a while drink incj in the views between the columns, like great landscapes set in golden frames. From here the Greeks of old had oft looked down on the tents of besieging armies from Carthage, from Rome anl from Greece, spread out over lbs pl.ir between two little rivers run ning to the sea. Here in this same temple, otter an eight months siege, when the city fell in 400 D. C. through treachery into the bands ot tue Cartbagcntans, Gclltus, the Rocke feller of his time, set fire to tho building destroying ft together with himself, bis treasurers, nud his followers that they might not fall into the possession of the foe From here we retraced our" steps, passing several other ruins, to those of the gigantic Temple of Jupiter 350 feet long by 200 wide anJiio high, the second largwSt tempi? ever built. One only appreciates the immensity of this xuin when actually gazing on the massive blocks lvinc in confusion, over thrown by the relentless Carthagcn tans in tueir attempt u anniuiwi. the city as well as its inhabitants Think of fluted columns 5., feet high and 15 in diameter, cappe l b a belt course of monoliths 'any one of which would severe1 y tax modern ingenuity to merely move T (Continued on page 4) STATE GIVEN CLEAR TITLE Deeds Can De Secured to Deschutes Irrigation & Power Co.

The tlarm was promptly given aud soon two streams of water were piaying on the fire, which was finally con qu-red but not until the bud ling nad boon rendered practtci'ly itse- less. The upper story was com pletely destroyed' aud, while the flames did not damage the interior if tbe lower rooms, tbe fire ran lowu between the walls and burned the studding so badly as to practi cally destroy the entire building. The building was covered by an in surance of ;Si20o. Dr. Scofkld, who occupied office rooms ou the v ocond floor, had all his fixtures 1 ud instruments burned. He also a rricd some iusurauce.
