THE BEND BULLETIN. VOL. VI BUND, ORIJOON, FRIDAY, SKPTKMBIiR .1, 9o8. NO. 25 IT IS A poftcr Admits Uqjlroml VII lie yf. pp nil; nijspiiu'rns canyon Jlndeavor to Leave Impression Hint lllll Is Not III tho amo, hut l)en crnl llellcl to tho Contrary. The week's ilevelopiiictitii In the railroad line give nothing new ex kc)t the strong confirmation nl the statement thut lllll has scented con trol of Ute Oregon Trunk Line. Thin was strongly believed lant vcck when W. lf. Nclwj, president of the Oregon Trunk, mid Porter Bros . lor ninny years rnitrotid btnKUrri for Will, made a ling aiitomohilc trip through this sec tion. While these men would nut openly ndinit that Hill had bought the Oregon Trunk I.lne. yet they made cerium statements rind' ad missions that indicated that the Great Northern wizard is the teal power behind their recent activity I.ute reports Irotn Portland state openly that Hill has seemed con trol 01 the OrcKon Trunk I.lne, and will invade Central Oregon by way of the Deschutes river. When Mr. Nelson was in licml last week he stated that they then had one crew of surveyors working up the Deschutes and that another crew would soon be put to work. This has been done and the Oregon Trunk now has two crews in the Deschutes canyon. Harrltnatt has also thrown two crews into the canyon, This cnu indicate only one thing and that is that Harri niiin is going ' ontesl with Hill for the toute up the Deschutes into Central Oregon. Ilarrimnii has not Ht nnnnunccd the route of the ixleusinn he promised Oovcruor Chatiiberlaiu he would build, mid hence the pruscucc of ljurrltnnti Mirvcyors along the Deschutes would indicate that he had chosen that mute also. It U evident that Hill has fully determined to invade Ilarriman's preserves in Central Oregon, with his eye 011 n mute that will ulti mately let him into San Francisco, It is also lust as certain tlml liar rimnti will oppose him with nil the . . ... . 1.1 ' 1 ii..... 1..... power ni nihcuiiiiiiiiiiu. 1 uvy ut both chosen the Deschutes canyon is the route through which to en ter this section of the state, And what will lc the result' A man who by his position is so situated as to have possession of inside fncls, leccutly told The Bulletin that "the people of Central Oregon rue about 10 see one of the greatest raihoad fights on the banks of the Deschutes thot the country has ever witnessed n .'".glit that will be well worth the price of admission." That is n ttatcmeut coining from a man close lo the throne. It menus that Cen tral Oregon's long unit u ubout ended, and thut the whistle of the "iion horse" will soon awaken the echoes up and down the length of the Dctchutcti valley. We are soon to have milrom! transportation. I.ATIiti News dispatrhec from Portland, reaching llend lust eve ning, report that John 1). Porter, one of the Porter Bros, who passed through this section last week, has stated that a railroad tip the Des chutes canyon to llend is 11 cer tainty. He denies, however, that Uillisthe man lieliiud this road but will not state who is, evident ly, endeavoring to leave the impres sion that Porter Bros. X- Welsh are the owners of the road that is to be built. No weight, however, is put on this statement, and it is scouted as n fabrication pure and simple on the part of Mr. Porter In order to keen secret who Is the real power behind this railroad game. He further states that the surveyors now working up the river nre not his. As Harrlmau already has crews there, the other two crews nre believed positively to be Hill's. In fact, in view of general condi tions, mid considering that the Pop ter brothers and V. N. Bethel, lo cating engineer foV Hill, held n con ference at The Dalles shortly Iwfore the Porlers took their trip through this section, it Is believed that only one iuteipretation can Ik put upon present events, and that is that Mill lias determined to build up tiie ncscuutc into tins part 01 the state. lie that as it may, Porter admits that 11 road is to be built, mid that's what Central Oregon wishes to see done. TO STUDY IILACK JACK PINK forest Official l Imestlgatlnic Why Hint Variety (Irovvn no I'rollflcally In Tracts South ol llend. T. T. Monger, forcjt assistant, is at Kosimid niuptng a careful inves tigation into the reasons why the lodge pole pine (or black jack) makes such a rapid growth in that section, apparently to the detriment of other trees more valuable. The lodge pile pine is an undesirable variety, and it Is hoped that Mr Monger's investigations will deter mine whether these trees have driven out the yellow pine by men force of number in certain localities or whether there arc certain soil or water conditions that favor the growth of the lodge pole while they hinder that of the yellow pine. Mr. Monger was .sent out by the forest department at Washington in resK)unc to a request by Inspector Kent for n report on this question He has already begun his work at Uoslaud and is greatly interested in his investigations. He will care fully examine the entire belt of lodge pole pine, continuing his studies southward into California. As vet lis investigations have not Ixreu extensive enough to lead htm to any conclusion. An opinion is held by many at Uoslaud that the growth of the lodge pole pine is due to the near ness of the water level to the sur face of the ground, and that while this favors the growth of the lodge iK)Ie it hinders the yellow pine Those who hold to this opinion base their belief on the fact that the presence of these trees Is an almost sure indication of water, anil also that tlif yellow pines arc so much morr numerous mid much letter developed on high, rolling ground. Mr, Monger is n scientist trained in forest matters, and his report will be awaited with interest.

W:SIR:S 4N ARTKSIAN ROW Not Satisfied with Present Result, lie Wilt (lo Down 1500 Feet, If rseces- sary, to Secure Plowing Well. An excellent supply of water has liccn found in the .Nloscs Niswonger well at Powell Buttes. Drilling was resumed in this well a week or 10 days ago and after the drill had penetrated a distance of but eight feet beyond the point where the drilling was retimed, a flow of water was struck that now stands 30 feet deep in the well. The water cannot Ik: lowered by Uillng, and it is believed a flow sufficient for nil needs has been struck. The depth at which the water was found was so8 feet. But that does not satisfy Mr. Niswonger and Mr. Moore, the driller. Mr. Moore is confident ar tesian water will k found if the well is put down deep enough. Hence arrangements have been made whereby drilling will be con tinued to 11 depth of 1500 feet, if necessary, in the endeavor to tap an artesian flow. If artesian water is found Mr. Niswonger will pay the regular rates for drilling, but if they nre unsuccessful in securing a flowing well then Mr. Niswonger is to pay only the actual cost of drilling. By this arrangement it is plainly seen that Mr. Moore must be very confident of striking on ar tesian flow. After drilling had been resumed and when the drill had penetrated almost eight feet the lower section of the well in which the casing had not Ixren placed caved in for a distance of 30 feet. It was of course necessary to clean that out and put in the casing, which nec essarily delayed the drilling some what. It will be remembered that drill ing on this well was temiwrarily suspended last fall when a depth of 500 leel had lieen reached. At that time the drill was penetrating a hard substance, through which a small amount of water seeped. It was thought at the time that when this hard layer was pierced an ar tesian flow would be struck. The result of sinking the well to n depth of 1500 feel will lie watched with exceptional interest by nil in this section. Many hold the opin ion that nrtcsinu water can lie found if a well is sunk to n sufficient dentil, and Mr. Niswonger and Mr. Moore have evidently determined THE HOME OF MR. O. L.

Saturday afternoon and evening, Sept. J 2, beginning at 4 p. m., the Lacjjcs'' Library Club will serve watermelons, ice cream and cake on the Howard lawn. The ladies have ordered a wagon-load of mel ons from "Sweet Home" aud'prom- isc Ice cream and cake "like mother used to make." Some of the fea tures of the evening will be a "lish pond," where any lobster who has toyed in Bend during the summei, and made a study of different "baits" may make a "catch." The Gypsy fortune-teller will tell you all you ought to know about your love aflairs, railroad construction in Central Oregon, or the proposed extension of the "Merry Widow" hat for 1909. The library needs the money and you need n good time, so remember Sept. 12. Other features destined to draw the attendance of pleasure-seeking humanity will be a brilliantly light ed lawn, the darkness of night be ing dispelled by the soft rays of Japanese lanterns. Music that "hath power to charm the savage breast will be heard gently wafted through the pine trees and in and out among the junipers. Pair maidens and mature matrons will be there to wait upon your wants and to relieve you of all your sur plus of the coin of the realm. While the joyful youth fills up on water melon and the pretty girl on ice cream and cake "Pa" and "Ma" can enjoy the music, chat with their neighbors, or join the boys and girls at the watermelon and ice cream booths or, if an investigat ing nature leads them to desire to lift the veil of the future, then they may have the privilege of visiting the fortune-teller. Again, the library needs the money and you need n good time, so remember Sept. 13. A Splendid Slnccr.

WILL PROTECT WILD BIRDS President Creates Preserve on Mal heur, Harney and Lower Klamath Lakes Other News Items, J. K. Terrell, 62 years old, of O'Neil, was seriously injured in the neighborhood of his home on Sun day, the 23m, through the cavort ing of his horse, breaking both his collar bone and pelvic bone and sus taining complicated internal in juries wuiclt make Ins recovery doubtful. He is now at the Friue villcl. )tcl, Dr. Ivdwards being the attending physician. It is report ed from O'Neil that Terrell, in suddenly checking up his horse, threw the animal over on its back. The man struck the ground first, the horse falling heavily upon him, where he rolled and struggled be fore Terrell, unconscious, was extricated. Orval Davis, ranch foreman for the B. S. & I,. Co. at Hay Creek, met with a painful accident at 5:30 o'clock Friday afternoon, being thrown from his horse when the animal stepped in a badger hole. The rider's collar bone was broken and he sustained severe bruises and sprains, but will recover as rapidly as the bone knits together. Dr. Belknap of Prineville was sum moned by telephone and was hur ried to the scene by Hd Hodson in the lattcr's automobile. Magcie Allingham, the 13-year-old daughter of O. D. Allingham. living at the Long Hollow ranch of the Black Butte Land & Livestock Co., met with a bad accident last Thursday evening while out hunt ing for cattle. Her horse stepped in a badger hole and the rider was thrown violently to the ground. Her arm was broken close to the shoulder. Dr. Edwards was sum moned to reduce the fracture. Un less new complications arise the young girl will get along nicely. Journal. National Preserve for Wild Birds. President Roosevelt has created a national preserve for ducks and other wild fowls out of Harney, Malheur and Lower Klanuth lakes, and hereafter it will be unlawful to kill wild fowl not only on these lakes but also upon the shores, islands and adjoining swamps. The preserve was created at the request of the Audubon Society, and is to prevent the extermination of various types of wild birds which frequent the. lake region. The lakes will become great breeding and nesting places for wild fowl. The Audubon Society, after careful investigation, found that Oregon birds were being killed ruthlessly, largely by hunters supplying the millinery market, some of whom were making $.100 to $500 n day selling bird crests, plumes, wings, etc. The new preserve takes in one of the famous hunting places of the state, known as "the Narrows." It is it narrow strip, between Malheur and Harney lakes, where ducks have been killed by Ihe thousands us they pass back mid forth between the two lakes, Fall Cattle Ride. The fall cattle ride commenced last Saturday on Camp creek and will continue with brief interruption until snow flies. Two camp wag ons will be used for Ihe accommo dation of the men and &u nren as large as the state of Delaware will be covered in the immense round up. From 10 t03aih.cn will be iu the saddle all of the iime the ride is In progress and the cattle which will be handled number iuto the thousands. The object of the ride witl be the branding of calves, gatherinc beef and collecting such cattle as have strayed far from their home runge. Truly, Cntrnl Or gon is a jrrcat country. Jourua!
