WILL MOVE TO REDMOND llarrlmanTo llnve n Surveying Crew Motioned 'llicro within n Month. Porter Itros. Repair Outfit. There Is not much new iu the railroad line this week, but the eotiiitry from Madras to the Des chutes and down that stream to its mouth is still full of Ilnrrimnn nud Oregon Trunk I.lne surveyors. The Mulletin has it direct from one of Ilntriiuau's crews that as soon as they finish their work where now stationed iu the I)cchutf.s canyon near Hunt's ferry that they will be moved either to Redmond or iu the vicinity of the crossing over Crooked river. This will lw with in a month, and would indicate that Harrimnu intends to push Ins line as least as far south as Rend. J. X Hunter, who returned from Portland the latter part of Inst week, confirms in every detail tin letter received by Thclhillctin from him and Mr. Slants. lie says that Porter Urns, nre repairing their con struction outfits nud arc quietly moving them across the Columbia from the North Rank road. Their horses have l-eu moved across and thry are establishing camp near the mouth of the Deschutes. Mr. Hunter further slates that the Oregon Trunk Line (or 1 1 ill road) is alioul six month ahead of Ilarrinuu iu ito surveying, atid hence has a great advantage over Ilurrtmau. Rurllieriuore, the Trunk Line has secured right of way from the government wherever it line crones government laud, and Senator Rand uf Washington is rapidly securing right of way across all deeded land crossed by the Oregon Trunk. Iu short, Messrs. Hunter and Stunts are very confident. Irom what they learned at Portland, that actual construc tion will 1m begun within the next 30 days, and that the next few mouth wilt see one of the Kteatcst railroad building contests ever waged in the Northwest, ami it will lie fought out along the Deschutes river. The local crew of .surveyors working for the Central Oregon Railroad, is now camjwsl at Red mond and are working between that place and Rend. They are locating a line between Madras and Rend.

TwobamUofslieep iassel here the patl week lteloa(ing to Mr. Maxwell of Shamko. from all re ports there were some ery ututtoii hungry people near here. Unfortunately the sheep got 011 one of the irrigating ditches and the owner was compelled to pay the damage. It Htems tlrangc that these sheep owners can't be made to un derstand tli.it they can not trample one's ditches down, pollute the water, and eat the gross right out of the very doorway of the people In this country. A great many nre getting very indig tuitit over the action of the sheep men who dtive their thecp from the Shuiiiku country through here to the forest re serve. When the owner of the sheep U along things generally go all O. K., but when left to hired meu to manage the trouble begins. Rrom the way things have becu going, it is predicted that the farmers will soon rebel in force strong enough to compel the sheep to keep the county road through the farmint: coun try, and not allow theut to trample ditches, pollute water and cat up .the lit tle range that Is left In this vicinity. It is awful the mess of water that some of the people iu this section have to use, simply because the s&cp are allowed to run tip rM dawn the dltehes, and atl v. account of sonic tueaslcy little range that hns )ceti overlooked by ranc horse or cattle.

ASKS FOR TAX EXEMPTION Rend Applies to the District Boundary Hoard for Exemption from the County llljch School Tax. Shall the Rend school district be exempt hereafter from paying the tax in support of the county high school at Prinevillc? An attempt is being made by the local school board to secure that exemption, and it is very probable the boarj will be success'ul in its endeavors. Last Monday, h. D. Wicst, iu behalf of the Iknd board, appeared Ik, or the district boundary board, which was in session at Prinevillc, and laid the matter before this board After a lengthy discussion of the matter, .and a careful consideration of the law that exempts rt.rt.iiii high schools from the county high .chool tax, it is the belief of Mr Wiest that the boundary board was in favor of granting the Iknd dts trict the exemption prayed for However, the boundary board did not feel inclined to take immediate action on the matter aud postponed a final decision until their next meeting, which will be on Novem ber 5. In the mcbutime the entire board will visit the Bend hijh -chool aud pass upon its efficiency. If they are satisfied the Bend school meets the requirements of the law they will undoubtedly declare lh" Dend district exempt from tbe county high school tax. There is a provision in the Ore gon school law which provides that any school district may establish 1 high school, and when that high school liecomes the equal in efficien cy of the county high school, said district shall be exempt from t-c county high school tax. The stat ute is, iu part, as follows: "That when anv tchool diatrict. r union high school district, skill main tain a high school which iu oil rc-pecti ball tie equivalent in efficiency to tit count v high school, which rftlctcn y shall be determined by the dutnet bout) dary board, such territory slull 1 ex empt from a tax to support a county high school." That is the statute under which the Iknd school board is working to secure the exemption. There is 110 doubt, whatever, that the Rend school is fully the equal in efficien cy of the county high school The course of study has b:en laid down after due consultation with ami up on the recommendations of State Superintendent Ackenuau and com plies with the state law m every re spect. Hence the Rend board is very confident that the boundary board will decide in favor of the local district. If the exemption is secured it will mean quite n saviug to the Rend district. Iu 1906 the Rend district paid into the county high school fund the sum of $900, aud tit 1907 the not inconsiderable sum of 500. Should the local board win in its present endeavors, this sum could hereafter be expended iu support of the Beud high school, or could be deducted from the an tutal levy nud would thus result lu n saving to the tax payer. The district boundary board is composed of County Judge KIlis, commissioners Rayley and Rice and County Superintendent Ford. Notice to the IHtbllc.
