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

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.

WATER AT 508 FEET
AIosck Niswonger Strikes
Supqly at That Depth.
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

If the result of their drilling will be

can be secured in this section it will
lie a great thing for the country.
Drilling is now under way and will

Social on Howard l.nwn, with Music,
Wntcrrnelons and Ice Cream.
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

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

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.

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,
