Another determined effort is to
be mtde in the courts to have a re
ceiver appointed for the Deschutes
Irrigation & Power Company. The
old case, in which a receiver has
been denied by Judge Dean, has
been withdrawn, and a new suit
has just been instituted, in which
John O. Desliler, the principal
Ohio claimant before, has In-cn
eliminated from the papers. The
latest suit is 111 the name of Prank
U. Sliluii and L. O. Addison, who
appear 011 the pleadings as n "com

from his connection with the case
It will lie remembered when the

Desliler, was up for argument, the

are displays of Oregon- products
which are attracting great deal
of attention, The railroad also has

MILL POND SITE BOUGHT
BY PORTLAND CAPITALIST
Will Be Offered as Inducement to Secure Location of
Sawmills at This PlaceIs by Far the Best
Site for Mill Pond In Central Oregon.
Prank Robertson of Portland arrived in town Monday nnd yester
day proceeded to take up the option which local people had secured
on the Siscmore property. This property contains a site capable of be
ing developed into a 365-acrc mill pond, and Mr. Robertson is obtaining
possession of it iu order to use it "in the up building of Hcnd. This milt
site is one of the important natural advantages that Bend has, and Is
one of the strong features that will' make for Bend's growth. Mr. 'Rob
ertson recognizes the strategic value of having this property in the
bands of men Interested in the up-building of this place, and therefore
has secured possession of it.
Iteh) for Milling Interest.'
Mr. Robertson talked very en
couragingly regarding Bend to a
Bulletin reporter. "I am positive
that Bend has greater advantages
by lar than any other place in Cen
tral Oregon," he said. "The chief
resource that gives it its advantage
over the others is its timber and
what will ultimately develop into
its lumber industry. With this
(condition existing; it is important
that this pond site shall be in
friendly hands, and" I have decided
to obtain title to it so that I may
bold it out as an inducement for the
himler interests to locate their mills
at Ilend. They will be given ev
ery opportunity to take over the
property. On account of its mill
lug possibilities it is a very valu
able tract of land, and I am certain
that if I should at any time care to
dispose of it to other than the lum
ber interests, I can easily get all
that I have invested In it. But the
chief purpose ts to hold it for the
lumber milling interests."
Bend's Bright Future.
Mr. Robertson sees a bright fu
ture in store for Hcnd, He believes
we will have a fine city here, and

said the attention of the whole
country is attracted this way, due
to the splendid advertising by the
Great Northern. "I was in the

Robertson, "and everyone there is
inquiring about Central Oregon.
You are certain of u great influx of
settlers in the spring and Central
Oregon is on the verge of a very

May Purchase TowbjHc.
A rumor was curicnt during the
past few days to the effect that Mr
Robertson had purchased A. M.
Drake's interests in the townsite.
When questioned as to that Mr
Robertson was non-commital and
said there was nothing to give out
to the public as yet. He did not
deny that such a transaction is un
der consideration.
Mr. Robertson was at one time a
member of the hardware firm of
Corbett, Failing & Robertson, ot
Portland. Of late years be has
dealt in railroad, corporation and
municipal bonds. Last year he
built a railroad extending from

SAYS BEND WILL BE THE
TERMINUS OF THE 0. T. L.
President John F. Stevens Denies Report That Road
Will Be Extended to Klamath Falls, but Says It
Will Be Built to Bend as Soon as Possible.
Bend Is to be the terminus, for a time, at least, of the Oregon Trunk
Line railway. This information is embodied la a statetseat made by
John F. Stevens, president of the road, and given to tbe press. It was
confirmed by Frank Robertson of Portland, who is in Bend tMs week
on a deal to take over the property known as the Sisemore place. "Be
fore leaving Portland," said Mr. Robertson to The Bulletin, "I Hod a
conversation with Mr. Stevens and he stated that the Oregon Trunk
Line had adopted surveys only to Beud, and your town will be the ter
minus of the rond for the present. I saw tbe maps of the located .and
approved surveys, and they give Bend tin the present terminus."
Reports were current to the effect that the Oregon Trunk Line
would be extended to Klamath Falls at ouce. Mr. Stevens denied this
and stated:
