more in detail in what follows:
Mr. Springer dropped quietly In

resources of this section, und what
"we desire to do Is to have an exhib

ley which will convince Mr. Hill
'that what we have told him can be
acked up by the production of the
actual products. We must have
this exhibit, nnd I am confident we
will get It, judging from the readi
ness with which your local people
re tnklug hold of the matter. Mr.
Hill is offering various prir.es for

some of those purses."

Mr. Springer stated that I,ouis

The interest or the Hills iu this
section is further shown by the
manner in which the prizes arc of
fered. The only section in Oregon
open to these prizes' is the Des
chutes valley, showing that Mr.
Hill intends to "feature" thisyjc-
tion of the state. Mr. Springer
called cstwcinl attention to this
fact that iu Oregon it is the Des
chutes valley which is receiving
Mr. Hill's special attention. The
Great Northern company is circu
lating the following slips descriptive
of the prizes:

Mr. Sprlnjrer Well Pleated with ltd
Section a a Freight Producer.
While conferring with The Ilul
lctln, Mr Springer wos nsked whnt
he thought of the upper Deschutes
valley.
"Our trip from The Dalles to
Shfliiiko was through some very
rough country," Mr. Springer re
plied. "Then as we left Shaniko,
we passed through a ncction that
would not inspire one with much
enthusiasm. However, as wc
passed Antelope we saw numerous
pleasant and apparently prosperous
ranches, but our first glimpse of
what we wnc really looking for
was when our machine carried us
up onto the high lands of Central
Oregon at Madras. As Mr. Hill's
new line emerges from the canyon
that section is the first the road will
tup. Those wheat fields around
Madras took good. Then as wc
came south, wc passed through ap
parently n very fertile wheat sec
tion, especially around Culver.
"Coniiug on into the irrigated
section, I am given to understand
that your soil yields very well in
deed. At Bend you have timber.
agriculture and watcrpowcr. I-caa
no V sec but that you have every
thing other sections have to make
them prosperous.
Road Will Come ta fiend.
"Before .starting on this trip I
went into the engineering offices at
Portlnud to learn the route of the
Oregon Trunk Line, in order that I
might confine myself to the country
to be tapped. They told me that
as far ns they knew at present the
road was projected to Bend, but
their department had received no
instructions rcgnrdiug the road
south of Crook county. 0 course
we nre confident the road will be
built further boutb, but where we
do not know at present.
"Wc have learned that, lying ad
jacent to Bend, there arc 350,000
and more acres of wheat land open
to settlement. That naturally at
tracts our attention and we feel an
interest iu it. If that soil will pro
duce what it is claimed it will, we
want to see it settled and put into
craiti. Wc would like to get some
exhibits from it if possible,
"Now, wc want you gentlemen
to send us the very best exhibits
you can. The next time I meet
you I trust it will be a still more
pleasant meeting, and that wc will
then be in closer business rela
tions." Mr. Springer left Monday after
noon for Priueville. He traveled
in one of Porter Bros.' Studebaker
cars nnd was accompanied by
W. T. Krcbs .nnd Wtu. Mason,
both of whom arc associated with
Porter Bros, iu n business way.

MAY NOT CHARGE
FOR EXCESS ACREAGE
Slate Desert Board Rules Against
Contention of D. I. k P. Co.
A QUESTION FOR THE COURTS
Beard Abo (folds That Where the
Acreage fa Lea Than That Stip
ulated, the Settler Ha No Re
courseOther Ruling.
The state Desert Land Board has
made a ruling which is of great in
terest to many settlers on D. I- &
P. Co. lands in this section. The
board has decided that the com
pany cannot charge fpr water Ut
"excess acreage" at the iucrcased
lien price of $40 per acre. This
question has been under dispute for
some time, and the ruling is in
favor of the settlers. A Salem dis
patch to the Telegram read:
Sai.km, Or., Sept. ay. After
hearing the complaints of the set
tlers In the Deschutes Irrigation &
Power Company's irrigation pro
ject, n Crodb'co" i&t) , as presented
by Marvia.yv. THpp, the Desert
Land Board, late yesterday after
HeoH, came to tut' (MMa IMI
under tbeprovis.ons of the orlfttaal
contracts between the settlers and
the Pilot Butte Derolopaent Com.
pany (under which Jthe land was
divided upjnto contours of 40 acres
and upwards, whhout a survey
having been made), the D. I. & P.
Company, having assumed the obli
gations of those contracts in ab
sorbing the Pilot Butte project, has
no legal right to attempt to collect
the increased lien of $40 per acre
upon the excess acreage, and must
furnlsb water to those settlers as
per the stipulations of the original
contracts at $1 per acre per aunufu
maintenance fee.
On the other baud, those settlers
whose acreage fell short of the
amount bargained for, have no re
course against the D. I. & P. Co.
and must lose.
. The question, however, it Is un
derstood, is a natter for the courts
to decide, and If the company re
fuses to comply with the provisions
of the original Pilot Butte con
tracts the courts will be resorted to
to enforce fulfillment. This cou
elusion is perfectly satisfactory to
the settlers. The D. I. & P. Co
made no appearance at the hearing,
as was expected. ,
It Also developed nt the meeting
that the D. I. & P. Co. has made
the practice of contracting to furnish
surplus water for the reclamation
of private lands outside of the seg
regation with the rate of $4 per
acre per annum, which it is per
mitted to do, no long as it does not
infringe upon the rights of settlers
within the project, and the con
tracts are made upon n temporary
basis. However, it is claimed that
the contracts are drawn upon a
basis which the company has no
right to make, and Secretary
Brodie, of the LnndfSoard, was in
structed to call ti pontile company
for n copy of the contract form for
investiga'tiou. "
The complaiut of the settlers iu
the Central Oregon segregation
wherein they claim they did not re
ceive a sufficient quantity of water
to mature their crops this season,
because of the Insufficient capacity
of the diversion ditch above Bend
also came up for consideration. At
a previous meeting of the board,
Roscoc Howard represented to the
board that this ditch bad developed
sufficient capacity for the reclama
tion of land through the process of
abrasion, but upon a recent inspec
tion of the system of ditches and
canals by AttorneyGencral Craw
ford and Secretary Brodie, of the
board? the latter made measure
ments of the intake ditch and found
its capacity insufficient, and the
board ordered that the company be
noticed immediately to remedy this
for the relief of the settlers.

If at first you llon't succeed, try,
try again, is n good old saying the
follouincr out if ' which at last
brought victory to the Hill survey
ors in their baseball contests with
the Bend tem. The third game
between tbq ttya teams, played last
Sunday on the .local diamond, re
sulted in a Yktojy for the survey
ors with the taijjrjsfeeei showing t
scotc of 8 to 9. Up to the moment
the last man wasrmt oat, the result
of the game waaJn-doabcrMd ce
sequently it was a very interesting
one for the players and spectators,
with everyone's nerves on keen
edge.
As an example of the national
game, it was far from being what
one could call good base ball, as
errors, hits and runs galore were
characteristic of the contest. But
the teams were evenly matched and
the game a close one.

The regular monthly meeting of
the Board was held 0 the evening
of Oct. 1, attended by practically
all the members. After twain g
over the work of the preceding
month and hearing a report upon
the finances, the meeting took up
discussion of future work. It
seemed generally agreed that in
some minor matters the 'appearance
of Bend's streets could be material
ly Improved, with little trouble and
expense. Toward the accomplish
ment of this fxtrpofe it was voted
that a number ef waste paper
and rubbish reaantaclea be placed
oa several t "the street corners,
wherein might be thrown the paper,
envelopes and other debris that
now Ikter the walk's and stneM.
If the pnfelic will cooperate wkk
thk) effort toward city hettse-clean-ing,
the result will be a far more
attractive lknd te greet the eye of
visitors and possible home and in
vestment seekers.
A committee of three, cotifttMg
of Messrs. Coe, Steidl and Rewe,
was appointed on motion to ex
amine into the possibilities of se
curing 5eme common dumping
ground for the city's garbage, and
to ascertain what cooperation could
be effected wkh the city council in
the matter. Ditcuaa ion brought to
light the fact that at present gar
bage and general refuse is dumped
promiscuously ia many places, wkh
unnecessary disfigurement ef ap
pearances about the town. The
purpose is to fix, upon one common
damping ground, in an isolated lo
cality, as conveniently situated as
possible. Once sach a etw ta se
lected, and its use secured, a gnat
improvement will be effected over
the present unsightly prominence
of many refuse; piles, instead of the
one which would suffice.
At the meeting it was decided to
take steps toward placing on exhi
bition at The Dalles and in Shaniko
pictures of the Bend country. An
estimate of expense is now being
secured from Photographer Gilford.
It was also decided to take up the
matter of sh ladders on the Dos
chutes. Application will Ik- made
by the Board to the state game
authorities for the construction of
lnddrs over the two falls between
Bend and the mouth of Crooked
river, so that the salmon may be
able to work their way into the
upper Deschutes. If successful in
this move, next season's combina
tion of fishing near Bend will be
unrivalled "Dolly Vardens," "red
sides" and salmon.
From both the Portland Com
mercial Club and the Chamber of
Commerce letters have lecn re
ceived asking for Bend literature.
The Chamber of Commerce stated
that they could advantageously use
many thousand of the local leaflets,
so great is the demand for infor
mation concerning' the Bead coan-
