PLAN TO BUILD

Homesteaders Want lo Divert

IIAVU APPLIED FOR A PERMIT

A number of homestcmlcrs on the

burn, and several others who have
filed on homestead in the neigh
trarhood of the W. I'. Vamlcvcrt
ranch during the pint year. The
laud that can be watered by the
protmscd system comprise. about
8,000 acre.
There i.t an interesting point re.
garding water rights involved in
tlili undertaking. The men who
arc interested in the project are
aware that all the water of the Dei
chute river ban been filed upon by
other irrigation companies. How.
ever, they have made application to
the Mate Hoard of Control to grant
them a itcrmlt to divert and use
water from I'all river, one of the
tributaries of the Deschutes. They
ask for this permit on the grounds
tlint these other irrigation compan
ies will not need the entire available
summer How of the river for several
years. In the meantime they can
be using the water, can gel their
land under cultivation and bring
iug in money, and finally when
there is a demand for alt the water,
they agree to go to a higher point
on I'all river and build a storage
reservoir to impound, from the
winter flow, nil the water needed
for their lands. In this manner,
they would not interfere with the
companies wiio have prior rights.
They have placet! the matter bcfoie
the n.yd of Control, and expect
an anAcr In a few daytt.
It ti itatcd that in Wyoming per
inishioi I Is grunted to ue water
temporarily under the same plan

the loenvjeusc. And It would scent
that such action it just, inasmuch
as it interferes with 110 person's
pi lor rights.

proponed canal has been made b)

LOCAL CASES TRIED
IN DISTRICT COURT
Tower and Baldwin, Held on Charge
of Stock Ruslllne, Are Discharged.
Estebcnet Make Motion for
Kehearlnjj In foreclosure.
District court is In session at
I'rincville this week. Action on
local cases of interest is as follows,
as reported to The Ilullctln by
phone last evening.
In the case of the Central Oregon
Hanking & Trust Co. vs. A. IL
Kstcbcnct ct al., in the foreclosure
and sale of the Kstcbcnct building
occubicd by the billiard hall, the
defendant made a motion for a new
trial. Judge Hrudshaw had the
matter uuder ndvlscmeut.
The Chas. Findley caw was be
ing heard, but no final action had
been taken. Findley had been
bound over to the grand jurv, due
to trouble with the Slys at Rostand.
Tower and Baldwin, bound over
on a charge of stealing hordes in
the old river bed section, were dis
charged. It is understood this
trouble was settled out of court. A
party, representing Tower's father,
appeared at I'rincville and attempt
cd to settle the trouble, promising
that young Tower would return to
his father in Washington if the
officers would dismiss the case.
The application of A. M. Drake
for a receiver for the C. O. D. Co.,
argued at The Dalies, wa.o denied.
In the cases of A. M. Drake vs.
the D. I. & F. Co., the defendant
entered a demurrer to the complaiut,
which will be argued later.
The I). I. & P. Co. won out in
its suit to enjoin the county from
collecting taxes on the company's
system of cunali, laterals, etc. De
cree has been entered enjoining the
county from collecting same.
A flood Laugh on the lixperts.
Tom Laugdon has received a let

miners, cxerts and geologists. He

bored small holes in some of the
pieces and Gllcd in fine gold, and
then closed the holes up again.
With these imitation stones he savs
that "I fooled the best mining ex
perts in the country." He enclosed
a column and a half clipping from
a Bishop, Calif., paper which tells
of the joke and says, "The enclosed
clipping only half way tells the fun
I had." One expert, applying his
usual test of pan and water, de
clared the vein would go 5200 to
the ton a low grade for rock can

went, and the result $812.34, and
a trace of silver. There is no doubt
that, for a brief hour or two, Kdgcr
ton had the time ol his life.
A Dangerous Practice.
Some person or persons did a
most unwise thing Monday even
ing by leaving their hydrants open
and allowing the water to run all
night, whereby the tank was run
practically dry. The tank was full
Monday evening at about 5:30. If
a fire had broken out early Tues
day morning, the town would have
been without protection and a most
disastrous fire might have resulted.
The stealing of water in this man
ner should be condemned in most
vigorous terms, as it endangers the
whole town.
Will Raise Hogs.
J. II. Wcnandy and Frank Kulp
have leused land on the old Sise
more place and will engage in the
hog raising business. They al
reudy have 57 hog at Madras
which they will bring here, and in
tend to add 15 or 20 brood sows to
the drove. They will have clover
and alfalfa pasture for them, and
willYlutit carrots, rutabegas and
other root crops for feed in the fall.
They are certain to make u neat
sum out of the venture.

CAPTURES THIEVES 15
MILES SOUTH OF BEND
Stole Various Articles at PrtnavWe
and Made for the TaH Timber.
They Evidently Wanted (o
Enjoy Camping Trip.
Deputy Sheriff Millard Triplett
and Constable A. C Lucas received
word from Prineville Sunday to ar
rest three men who bad passed
through Bend, and who bad stolen
various miscellaneous goods at
Prineville. The two officers, ac
companied by Fred Hunnell, start
ed in pursuit of the men and over
took them about 15 miles south of
Bend on tbe west side of tbe river.
They made no trouble when
placed under urrest, were brought
to Bend and were taken to Prine
ville Monday.
The names of the culprits are
K. F. Garrouttc, L. R. Allen and
C J. Moratnb. Along with many
other articles, they had stolen three
casu of canned fruit, and bedding.
a sofa pillow, dish pan, etc. from
Mrs. Osborne of Prineville. One of
them hkd a rifle which had been
taken from the Poindexter hotel.
Their object was evidently to se
cure a camping outfit, and their
thefts consisted in tbe main of pet
ty articles.
Their case will undoubtedly com
up at the present term of court and
they will likely get a term in the
penitentiary.
