Hcnd has ngain been brought In to the limelight as a baseball town. Since the early days of the town when "Minnie" I.ec und Pitcher Ililycti were stars on the llend team, there has scarcely been a sin gle season wheu we could not boast of a good ball tcum and a large number of us fanatical fans as otic would care to sec. Ilcnd Is a base bull town and the people of Betid are proud ol their team this season. Pue reason for The Bulletin's boasting may lc seen on display in the window of the Ilcnd News Stand, In the form of a beautiful silver cup on which is engraved, "Crook County Daseball Cham pionship, 1909," presented to the team by the First Central Oregon Agricultural Association nt the county fair at Prluevillu last week. The cup and a cash purse were offered the winning team in a championship contest at the fair, and the llend team won them both in a perfectly played game on the Priucvillc diamond Saturday after noon, despite the fuct that the Priucvillc team hud imported two western league players and used Home unfair tactics besides. The Prinevillc catcher held u llend man's bat at n time when a .good hit was badly needed, and Demi's "second baseman was "spiked" by n Prluevitlu player, Besides this, Kulp, one of Ucnd's best batters, was wulked every time up, except the first, when he made a clean two bagger. One thing, however, that is to be said In Princvllle's favor Is that the decisions by Umpire apautuing, a I'rtncvlJJe man, were absolutely fair. Some of the best plays of the game were a star catch in center field by Mctkc, with a double to first, nud a good catch in right field by Swank. Prccman, on first base played a perfect game and Tcthc row led with the largest number of hits, securing four. In the third inning Jordou of Priucvillc made a desperate attempt to steal home from third, but wis put out. The Hcnd crowd brought home something like $700 of Prlnevilie money and, if reports arc true, could have gotten that many thous and, so sure ws Prinevillc people that they would wlu the game.

The State Desert Land Hoard has approved the scheme to reclaim, or Irrigate, a thousand acres of land on the "McKay Bench." above Prinevillc.

Cole, a rancher who lives three miles northwest, of town, brought to the Hub office on Tues day a fresh lot of .strawberries that he had just plucked from vines on his ranch, One of them measured 3 inches In circumference. He says he picked a quart that day Anyhow we have the berries. Red mond Hub. . ' Bio Cattuc Dual. The Silver Lake Leader has the following concerning a big cattle deal: "-Hayes Bros, sold on last Friday to Charles Horton, the well known cattle buyer, 1100 head of cattle, consisting of cows, calves and steers. In this deal Mr. Hor ton also purchased 350 tons of bay and a thousand acres of pasture. It is the intention of Mr. Iforton to sell the htccr calves which number about 200, and then remove a por tion of the remaining cuttle to his Klamath county ranch, and bring io in their place some 400 head of steers which he has purchased of J. It. Ryan on the Deschutes and will feed them for beef until spring. Grkat Pacificator. Deputy ShcrilT Millard Triplet! was in town from Ilcnd Monday. He says the nearness of the Des chutes to his district keeps things quiet. When the people have nothing else to do they go fishing over there and this has a great ten dency forpcacc. -Prinevillc Journal. Nkar Buur Eluction. The Prinevillc Journal says from the present outlook it is probable that there will be an election held In Prinevillc under the referendum to decide whether or not near beer may be sold in that place. BUY RIGHT-OF-WAY IN BEND DISTRICT Oregon Trunk Line Agent Now Busy at Bend. EARLY CONSTRUCTION HERE llarrlman Line Also Well Atone and May lie Completed a Tar as ' Aladras by Next June and to Tills Section Later. Station at Madras. The Madras Pioneer rcnorts thai the Oregon Trunk Liue will locate a station at Madras, and has al ready established siding and grade locations for that purpose. INHKMNITV SltUtCTION LAND fio. At a meeting of the State Lund Board recently it was derided to in. crease the price of indemnity selec tion laud from 8.7; toftioanacre. The state still onws about 90,000 acres of this clsss of land. The new price went In effect at once. 'Matt Clark, right-of-way agent for the Oregon Trunk Line, accom panied by II. B. Shannon, arrived In Bend Monday night and will be gin the acquirement of right of way for that line at once. This is indeed good news for Bend, as it undoubtedly means that preparations arc in progress for fin isbing the construction of the line at lcasU this far, without delay. There arc other good indications which may soon be mude public, that construction work will soon be commenced here, but on these The Bulletin is, pledged to secrecy for the present. Suffice to say, men who ought to know, are practically certain that construction crews will be at work here before the first of the year. The fact that right of way is being bought is only fur ther proof of this intention. Bend will be the busiest place in Eastern Oregon by the time spring comes ngain. Survey Line Throuch Bend. The question of just where the Hill railroad will run through Bend and the Bend country seems to be the engrossing one in the minds ol the people here at present. From this standpoint, The Bulletin be lieves that most of its readers will be interested in knowing that dur ing the past week the Hill survey ors have run 8 line through the eastern part of Bend, running south along the west side of the Pilot Butte canal for some distance. The survey passes directly throuch the Lytic townsitc, and a significant feature of the work on this new route is that the exact dimensions and location of each building loca ted on the line of right of way is being carefully noted. This would seem to indicate that the Hill peo ple have strong expectations of lo cating permanently on this line and are taking this data to enable them to uct widely in buying and remov ing these buildings. Though there has bec'u some speculation as to just the route the road would take in passing through Bend, there can be no doubt that it is the iuteution of the company to make this place one of its chief centers and a permancut location on the survey in question will oc casion no surprise here. The Hill railroad will pass through Bend, llarrlman Road Well Alone. The Orcgonian of Oct. 23 says; "The completion of the Deschutes railway into Madras by next June is the present hope of the Harri man construction forces, and the prediction is made in the offices of the company that trains will be running regularly to that point by the middle of the coming summer. "The promise is not definitely made, as unlooked-for obstacles arc frequently encountered in railroad work, but progress so far has been so satisfactory that such a lime limit for the completion of that portion of the road is now indicated "If these hopes are fulfilled, the orietnal time fixed for the comple tion of the railroad through the Deschutes canyon will have been been shortened from eight months to one year. As previously out lined, tlie work was to require nearly two years. "The company has been rushing construction tins fall, however, and now has a force of 2300 men In the Held. in addition, five steam shov els and 800 teams arc working. "Preparations arc being made to use a steam shovel in the con struction of the 800-foot tonnel at Horseshoe Bend. The character of the preliminary work shaws that a shovel may lie used to advantage, and one is now being taken down Mack s canyon to becin work at the south portal. When the shovel is in operation the tunnel will co ahead at the rate of 30 or 40 feet a uay.. un.... t . ucyona Aiaaras mere is some heavy viaduct work to be done, and this can be accomplished to best ad vantage after rail transportation is given 10 mat point. ''Near the mouth of the canyon 15 miles of grade have been practi cally completed. The grade, how ever, has not alt been connected up, owing to the heavy work in gettinir pver the Moody dam. The entire field is covered with construction crews to and beyond Madras, with the exception oi one point of con tact wtttt me Oregon Truufc line." The completion of the road on south iuto the irrigated section will come later in the year, according to the Oregonian ADV ERTISE, SAYS RICHARDSON BOARD OF TRADE WORK VALUABLE Good Results Secured by Way of Advertising. BOOSTING FOR THIS SECTION Secretary of Board WrKe In Publi cations with Large Circulation About Opportunities In Bend and Deschutes Country NEW TOWN AT TRAIL CROSSING Crook county Is to have a new town. What its name is, or wheth er it has yet been named, was not learned, but it will be located at Trail Crossiug, about six miles be low Redmond," where the Oregon Trunk Liue survey crosses Crooked river. . A party of surveyors with a man In charge left Bend yesterday for that place, and will plat the town site at once. The meu behind the new townslte ptoject nre A. B. Hammoud uud V. D. Williamson, supposed to be closely connected with the Oregon Trunk Line. It is the belief of Bend people who profess to have inside information that these gentlemen have good as surance of railroad co-operation. The townsite will have the ad vantage of on abundant fresh water supply, and if the rumors thafa spur line is to be run from that (Kiint to Prlueville prove true, it may prove a very healthy compet itor for Redmond. The new town will be about 30 miles uorth of Beud. Sage of Portland Com. Club dives Bend Good Advlco. In a letter to the Bend Board of Trade Tom Richardson, manager of the Portland Commercial Club, and the best known autl ablest booster in the Pacific Northwest, has. this to say about the Beud country "Your section of the state is be ing widely discussed, and Bend is particularly in the eyes and minds of the general public. It would le an iufdtuous crime if your tropic do not awake to the situatiou and do some real advertising Ten thousand dollars spent now iu legitimate, common-sctiM- adver tising will bring back n million dol lars in returns, but it's got to be done properly under nn organized txxty such as yours." Every business man itj Bend knows this is the truth. No doubt they will act wisely and promptly. a The Bend Board of Trade is do ing good and profitable work these days in the way of advertising and furnishing information to inquiries about the Bend country. The sec retary of the Board has succeeded in securing space in the last issuess of both the Portland Chamber of Commerce Bulletin aud the Pacific Homestead for excellent articles setting forth the advantages for the homeseeker, farmer, manufacturer and investor offered at present in Bend and the Bend country. The articles enumerate in a pleasing manner the opportunities offered here in the way of water power, raw material for raanufacturinc, good school facilities, excellent farm and garden lands at low prices, free homestead lands, dairy ing, business chances, etc Already. these articles have borne fruit. During the pjst week 45 letters have been received by the Board, 15 of which referred directly to the articles, particularly to the one in the Pacific Homestead. Copies of the Chamber of Com merer Bulletin are on sale at the office of the Bend Board of Trade, up stairs iu the First National Bank building, at 10c per copy. This is good literature to send to Eastern friends who are, or may become in terested in this section, and doubt less a large number of copies will be bought and matted out. The first paragraph of the article in this publication reads as follows: "Today all eyes nre directed to ward Central Oregon. After a decade of hopeful waiting and un filled promises the railroads are at last about to give transportation to the greatest and richest undevel oped area in the West. Now In deed, could the citizens of the Des chutes country, borrow a well known catch word and declare "watch Central Oregon grow," for the development of this country iu the next three years will surpass anything hitherto seen evea in the wonderful Northwest." Sisters Alan Badly Hurt. Chas. Hindermau of Sisters was badly hurt Sunday. He, with his wife and a little girl, was driving home from Beud, and on the way met a motorcycle, which frightened the horses. In the mlxup that fol lowed Mr. Hinderman, with the other occupants of the vehicle, was thrown out und his collar bone broken. The lady and little girl were only slightly hurt. INTER-EIGHTH GRADE DEBAT ING SOCIETY ORGANIZED An Inter-Eighth Grade Debating Society was organized during the Institute at Prinevillc. for the pur pose of creating ability and desire for public debating among the pub He school pupils of Crook county. The county was divided into three districts, Bend, Prlueville and Mad ras forming the centeis of the "Triangular Debating League,' the name given the society. The surrounding schools of these re spective places will be allowed aud expected to enter the local debates held throughout the school year. Only one or two debates a year will be held among the Triangular De bating League. The following officers aud members were elected to constitute au executive board; Pres. Prof. Cook, of Madras; vice president, Miss Vandevert, of Bend; secretary-treasurer. Prof. Ashby, of Prlnevilie. Supt, Ford aud Mrs. Wickershaui of Prlueville and Prof. Myers of Redmond are members of the League.
