TI11U is the question imw confronting Mie city council An oiler litis ken made the city where Ity it ciiti Mxurc title to 40 acres ol ,lntnl,nt the hentl of Spring river Thau Ity Mcuting title to the water that gudieH forth in huge springs nt the source of that nver. the city would Ik! assured the finest and purest witter supply in the Mute of Oregon whenever Ik-nd grew to kikIi a nine a would warrant the cxkciim? rciiitcil to tutte the water Iroiu the sittings to the city. John l'crgiiAon, who owns too acres at the htad of Spring liver, has agreed to hell to the city the 10 acres uoii which are located the springs that feed this iK-culiur river The price asked Is $Kx exclusive of the timber. The city council took the uuvtlcr under consideration at n special meeting hist Monday evening, and instructed the com uiittcc on public procrty to secure nu option 011 this purchase until January 1 next. In the meantime, the matter will be laid be fnrc the voters and they will le allowed to say whether or not they deem it lel for the city to adept Mr l-' Ditisoit'n offer. The vote 011 the qut-Miou will probably he tHkeii at the next tegular city election, uhicncouie 011 December H. 11 the vltuen authorise this purchase the imyioent will L-e stretched out b rough several years, . either by I'-Mimx Ion time lxnds against the ity or by uine agreement with Mr. Ferguson regarding the pay mei.ts. These are detail to be worked out later, but the plan is to . arv the payments over a ufficteut length of tunc o that the additional taxation lor each year would be so small as to be practically not notice able. There ore many In Bend wb be lieve the city should now secute a, water Mijiply the purity of which in nut be questioned nud which will b.- ailciiate for the city' giowth They argue and truth fullv that Mime dav Deschutes nver wntir wilt not be fit to drink. With two or three sawmills oil the Sisvumtc place at Heiid and with others sotlli-icd along the river above town; with several hundred men living at each null, and with the HerouiauyiuK number of horses ; uitd with log being driven down the river, they believe the water will liecouic so coutauuuatcd that it will make n toor supply for a city'h use, Hence, the wisdom of c nrin: u water supply now that will nhvnyti be absolutely puie. Such an opportunity is afforded in Spring river. At the head of that stream large springs guih forth led by some uttdei ground source. The springs burst forth on the side of a knoll and ure some ,s or 10 Icet above the surface of the water 111 the river, and he in .such a position that it would be a very easy matter to build a small dam and conduct the (low of the springs Into a pipe line leading 16 llenil. The sniuius could then be roofed over and the city would lmve 11 water supply that never could be contaminated, as the water would How into the pipe lino within u few Icet from where it gushes forth nnd, ns plated above, the entire head works could bo roofed over. The water from these springs is ice cold, clear as crystal ami pure. On the other hand, some oppose the piopositiou. They take the stand thul if llcnd grows to a bi.u btiflkieiit to wornu putting in such a system, the city would be belter .idle at that tune to stand the entile i-xm-hm- tlian it now is in i.imh.isf the laud sutronnduig tin sprln Ti.ey say.

RECLAMATION MAN HBRK Is Alnklnz lnvestlgatlu,ns Along the Dcschutea :lvr. II. S. Williams, of the United States Keclamation Service, is iu Hend umkipg investigations. When asked by The Hulk tin as to the ob ject of his trip Mr. Williams re plied: "I have nothing, whatever, to give out to the public at this time. The sefvicv has found that it is a much better jiolicy to say nothing regarding project' that they may take up in the future. Hxpcricncu has taught us that when statements arc made to the effect that the r,overnmetit is liable, or intends to begin work on a cer tain project, homesteaders mid other settlers "begin to flock iu and take up residence ou the land that it is intended ttv reclaim. Then when three or fo ttr or perhaps five or six years slip by with nothing done, these same Mtlert! who were so anxious to got onto the land are disappointed, become discouraged, nud 'oeg'tii to kick nud holler and muce all kinds of trouble. Hence, we, have concluded to keep our p'laus secret until they are ready to be carried out." To further inquiries Mr. Wil liams stated that he might be sta tioned at this place for some time, and that his investigations would be tin and down the Deschutes river. He was one of the govern mentis engineers on the Minidoka project in Idaho. Crook County Stockman Favors Direct Sales. ARE TOU) TO ROIL WATER I'rlnevllle City Water Contains Germs That Cause Stomach Trouble. Other Notes of Interest. . C. M. I.istcr of the Ochoco valley is the first cattleman in Crook coun ty to go on record in favor of the new plan by which the Union stock yards at Portland buys and my for cattle; in other words, thecliuii" nation of the buyer from the field and shipment direct to the Mock vards at current market tirxes. He says the new plan is more profitable to the stockman and more satisfac tory to the yards. Having some 18 carload of beef cattle to market this fall, Mr Lister shipped three carloads under the new plan as a test, accompanied his cattle iu person to I'prtland and having now received the returns on this initial lot he is o well pleased that he will forthwith ship the re maining 15 carloads iu the same way. without awaiting the appear ance of a buyer. He says he re ceived about $s a licad more for his cattle this way than formerly under the old plan Journal. Prlnev llle Tohl to Boll Water. The Princvilie Light & Water Co have notified all water-users in that city to boil the water before domestic use. This action was taken as the result of an analysis just made by the state bacteriologist, who reports finding the bacillus coll in the water, a germ that causes a stomach trouble, from which ail ment many local people have been suffering. This is not a typhoid germ, so there is no danger of an epidemic, l'rinevilfe's water sup ply is derived fuim deep artesian wells-, to the fault is believed to b. iu the mains. Two years ago Shau iko suffered similarly, and the breeding place of the germ was found iu a six-inch scum an the in terior walls of the town reservoir. Hay Struck by Lightning. Lightning struck a stack of hay belonging to Jet Ivads in the Hay stack neighborhood last Sunday morning, and catching fire, it and an adjoining stack were destroyed before the lire could be extinguished There were four stacks standing near each other, but two of them were saved with the assistance of some of Mr. Hads' neighbors, who hurried over as soon as they saw the Muoke from the stack afire. Mr. Mads did not learn of his loss nor of the valuable assistance of his neighbors until after the stacks were consumed, as he was away at borne distance visiting iu that vicin ity. The lightning bolt struck the hay stack during the severe electrical storm which was iu pro gte&s Sunday forenoon, and a num ber of other times the lightning struck uncomfortably close.
