All Reports of the Past Week Are Favor able to the Deschutes Railroad. "Bollinger's decision favors railroad." That U the wording of a terse telegram that was received yesterday by Hunter & Stout of Ilcnd, : the message having been sent from I'ortlutid. It watt Kent by the name party who hu been keeping these road news, thin party being in n position to teen re inutile Information ' ' No further particulars were given In thut llarrlmau's right-of-way had Under date of April 13, this name man wrote to Messrs. Hunter and Staats stating that the facts In re gard to the reclamation engineer' rciort arc at follow: "Pirst. There was a definite understanding tcforc the report left Portland that the government would not iutcrfcie with the rail loud line up the Deschutes, "Second. "The only question is whether the government will ulso approve the ourvty of the Oregon Trunk, in which case condemna tion proceeding will be necessary or the Ilarrimati officials will be forced to buy the line's surveys. "Third. The private irrigation nchemcs in the Deschutes canyon will cut no figure, except if they IKMlst in standing In the way con demnation proceedings will ngaiuj ic necessary. "Fourth. To carry out this work, the railroad will oc required to put up a Ixind to the government showing its good faith and inten tion to build immediately into the territory which, the'report holds, is much gteatcr in need of a railroad than cither the project fathered by the federal reclamation service or Liked Their Treatment. The Priucvillc Journal has the following to say in regard to the social features of the educational meeting held in Bend: The llcnd teachers had arrange ments all made for the entertain ment of the visiting teachers and the hospitality extended by the jxroplc ol the town on the Deschutes was highly spoken of by the Princ vlllc visitors. Saturday afternoon the educa tional meeting was held in the school building and uftcrwards a reception was held at the Pilot Ilutte Inn. An Inlonnur program was rendered and refreshments were served. The affair was a tnot plcusant oue. One of the most enjoyable fea tures of the trip to the teachers of the Priueville public school was their entertainment at luncheon Saturday evening at the home of Miss Harcl Caldwell in Ilcnd. Another Petther In Our Cap. Another proof of the efficiency of the IJeud school has recently been received, It comes In a letter from A. R. Tiffany, registrar of the University of Oregon. Mr. Tiffany writes to Miss Kuth Held, principal of the local school, thai he has carefully examined the work done by the Hend school and thai he takes pleasure in announcing that graduates from the lleud high school will be admitted to the uni versity without undergoing any ex aminations, In other words, a di ploma of graduation from the Demi school admits the holder to the frcshmuu class of the university. All of which speaks very well lor lite local bcliool system, gentlemen informed In regard to rail the message, but it would imply been approved by Secretary Ilalliuger. the private companies. "You will find when the report become public in about one week thut the above is very close to the recommendations made." This coincides with the reports that have tecn published during the past week in regard to the Dcs chutes railroad matter. All of whirh would indicate that this man really is In possession of what he claims to have inldc information. The city papers have reported that Secretary Dallingcr would ap prove "in a few days," the surveys of the Deschutes Hue, with the stip ulation that the railroad company should be obliged to raise its track whenever the reclamation service got ready to build the dams. It was also rcKirted that Harrinian had agreed to this stipulation. There was nothing official, however, in any of these reports. The latest and uiot reliable in formation is contained in this tele gram which brings the good news that "Balllnger's decision favors the railroad."

DRIVING SHEEP mum, JT T'lUf'WnBfT"'" i'"i 111 1 111 1 1 RyfcreHHKHpjHrt CilMsmBB' ' ' " &' 'r - mW ." , 'r- f - .s&alBM COR years sheep raising has been oue of the leading industries of Crook county, and it will coa- tinuc as such lor many years to come. Prom 2,500,000 to 3.000,000 pounds of wool arc mar keted each year as a rcntilt of this industry in Crook county, and many thousand head of sheep are sold annually. The sum of money this industry brings into the county is a handsome amount, and not n few men in Crook county have made their fortune by raising sheep. Heretofore the industry has been confined almost exclusively to range sheep pastured on the open range, but as the country develops and irrigation becomes the order of (he day, large numbers of high grade bheep will be raised on the numerous small farms. Those who have already tried it in this vicinity claim there is n fine profit in a few sheep on the farm. One farmer, with much experience, claims that from $3,000 to 5,000 profit can be cleared each year from a tooacrc farm stocked with sheep. He has made good to that amount for several years. Thus it is assured that the raising of sheep will Jong be an important industry in Crook county. BOGUS INSPECTOR IS GIYEN JAIL SENTENCE N. Thomas, Who Pooled Crook County I'eople, Sent to McNIel'a Island for 18 Month Term Central and Southern Oregon Notes. N. Thomas, who oicratcd in Crook county several months ago and who claimed to be an inspector of the U. S. laud office, has been sentenced, by the federal court at Portland, to 18 months imprison ment at McNeil's island. Thomus pleaded guilty. The transaction which resulted in his arrest was an attempt to fleece Jacob Kasscr of Cherry Creek out of ft too. He represented to Kasscr that he was investigating government land entries, and pre tending to liuvc discovered irregu larities, demanded ft too as the price of his hilcncc. He was given a check for the qtnount, but Kasscr stopped payment on the check and had Thomas arrested. He also se cured checks from n Paulina ranch er on a similar pretext, but pay ment of these was also stopped. Thomas came to this county as an insurance solicitor and claims that he was approached by a num ber of people who thought that he was a special agent, and that this suggested the plan of grafting which he afterward adopted.

TO ADJUDICATE WATER RIGHTS IN CROOK SUte Water Board Will Seen Take Up Adjudication of Claims ts Water from Squaw and TumeHe Creeka-A Wle Law. Dispatches from Salem report that the state water board will take up, at any early date, the adjudica tion of water riglrts on Squaw creek and also on Tumello creek. This will be the first work done in Crook county by the water board under the new water law passed by the recent legislature. During the past vcar or two there has been mote or less trouble in regard to the water rights on Squaw creek. It has been reported that it few men taking water from the creek have built a canal so large that it carries an amount or water greatly in excess of what they can use on their lands. They have per sisted in diverting water to the full capacity of the caual, and have let the surplus run to waste and form a pond out on the desert. This worked a hardship on settlers lower down ou the cieck whose supply of water whs thus depleted. Of course the men who arc causing the trouble can not legally hold more water than they put to beneficial use. The new water board will htralghteu out the tanele, will de cide the amount and priority of the various water rights, and then the water master whom they put in charge of thut stream will see that no one diverts more water than they are justly entitled to. In this one instance it is easy to see what gteat benefits will be derived from the new water law. Another case in point is that con cerning water rights on Tumello creek, Much complaint was heard in Bend last summer over a scarcity of water along this stream.

ANOTHER TROUT BARBECUE A (teaHy Sum Hm Already Been Safe- scrlfcca, PreHaihtary Arrow meats Have Been Male, a4 Big Tims I Assured. When the American eagle eets tbrongk with the British lkw tkere will be another knot tied hard ami fast in the Hob's tail, and tbc oc casion of the oleaHMr ofwratlna will be a rip, roaring cekbratfoa in Bend on July 3rd, is boor of July Fourth. The proverbial ball has been started on a two-and-a-balf-months roll, preliminary com as it tees have been appoiated, subscrip tions have been and are beisg so licited, and everything proskes the biggest and best celebration ever "pulled off" in Central Oregon. As announced ia The Bulktia last week, a bmss meetiag was called last Thursday evening to discuss the question of celebrating. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Davidson, with J. K. Saw hill, secretary. After a short dis cussion in which evervone was heartily in favor of celebrating, it was decided to celebrate in Bead this year oa Saturday, tfee 3rd, in asmuch as the Fourth cones oa Sunday. It was also the unani mous opinion of those present, that auother of those unique troat barbe cues should form one of the chief attractions of the day. Two committees were fiaally ap pointed, one on finance, consisting of J. H. Weaandy, Thos. TripkU and A. M. Lara; the other oa pro gram and geaeral arrangements, consisting of M. J. Kellcy, Hagh O'Kancaad E. A. Sather. The finance committee was attracted to solicit sabscriptloas; the cow aittee oa general arraageaaeats was instructed to draw up a suggestive program with the probable expense therefor; both committees to report at a second meeting to be held oa the following Monday. In line with this arrangement. another mass meeting was held Iat Monday evening. The finance committee reported good progress and that everyone approac'hed had responded liberally. White the committee had Hot finished its work, yet a sufficient sum had been pledged to assure a geed celebra tion. The committee oa geaeral arrangements reported a draft of a program the expense of which would easily come within the sunt pledged. With the expense end of the affair thus assured, the finance committee was Instructed to con tinue its work and raise as large u sum as possible. Another and per manent committee was appointed to take full charge of the celebra tion. This committee will ap point all sub-commlttes and will have general supervision of all mat ters pertaining to the Fourth. The committee is composed of K. A. Sather, J. H. Weaandy, Tmoh.
