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

allowed to say whether or not they

b rough several years, . either by

Mr. Ferguson regarding the pay

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

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

roofed over and the city would lmve

contaminated, as the water would
How into the pipe lino within u few
Icet from where it gushes forth nnd,

water from these springs is ice cold,

On the other hand, some oppose
the piopositiou. They take the
stand thul if llcnd grows to a bi.u

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

. C. M. I.istcr of the Ochoco valley

new plan by which the Union stock

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

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

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. Mad
