As reixutcd in 11 recent issue of The Hullctin, the work from Mud tus to llciul is of nn exceedingly light diameter., three uuinths be ing an ample time allowance for its completion, according to the an thorltalivc statements of cngincero familiar with the territory. As the I lill oIIicIuIm announce the present construction well under way und arc confident of its completion to Madras liy autumn, the significance of the roud's immediate continu ance to Ilcnd is apparent.

The contest for the best high school verse and yell just closed at the 11. II. S. brought forth a dor.cn witty offerings lioin clever contrib utes. It Is the pleasure of The llulletlii to print herewith the win ning song and the prize yell: and its sorrow that it is unable to ac company the prize productions with the names of their respective authors. Next week n issue, how ever, will announce the names of the fortunate scholars. The contest was inaugurated by Miss Kuth Held, the principal of the high fichool, together with Miss Market. Cash prizes were offered for the best song and yell submit ted, with the result that all the high school pupils immediately at tacked the poetical problem. OUR II. If. S.

Reclaimers: Dolly Hall, Bessie Main. A high school baseball team has been organized with Bruce Dcyar mond ns captain, Max Richardson, manager, and Claude Vandcvert, secretary-treasurer. It is under stood that a regular schedule of games will be arranged, with the cxjicctatlou of crossing bats with Prineville at least once during the season. The school bouse, It is reported, Is filled almost to its capacity, some 160 pupils now being in attendance and this number increasing weekly. For the information of those unfa miliar with the Bend institution, it 1 worthy of remark that no better cquipiicd nor conducted grammar and high schools exist in the state. Hvidenre of the efficiency of the local high school training is the fact that its certificate of graduation admits the bearer to the state uni versity without the necessity of examination.

Poktivnd, Or., March 23. Judge K. S. Bean, of the U. S. dls- trict court, yesterday afternoon granted the petition for n receiver for the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Co and announced that the receiver would be appointed Thurs day. C. M. Red field, the present chief engineer of the company, W I. Benham of Tacoma, and one of the Rea brothers, of Madras, are talked of for the appointment on be half of the company. The bond holders' candidates are not known. This Is a suit In TJ S. court In which L. G. Addison and Prank R. Sliinn, of Columbus, Ohio, as a committee representing the holders of something more than $300,000 of the first mortgage bonds of the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Co., are plaintiff's, and the D I & P. Co. and the Merchants Savings & Trust Co., Trustee, of Portland, arc defendants. The gist of the complaint is that the company Is in solvent; that it ba'd attempted to give later liens priority over the first mortgace, thereby committing or permitting a fraud upon the holders ol the first bonds (the How ard contract being the chief of thes later claims); and that the trustee had not done its duty toward pro tection of the first bonds, and could not properly act as trustee for tbe two incompatible interests. The case was argued three weeks ago and since then voluminous briefs were filed by both sides. In the argument the defendants admitted that nothing bad ever been paid into the D. I, & P. treas ury on its capital stock of 2,500, 000, and that the corporation had been insolvent from the beginning down to the date of the latest con tract with the state, June 17, 1907, when the state land board allowed an increase of lien from an average ol $10 an acre to an average of $26 an acre. They contended that tbe carrying of that contract, and the Benham Falls contract for 74,000 acres at an average Hen of $50 an acre, to completion, would place tbe company in position to pay all its debts, including the first bonds The plaintiffs showed that in the meantime their security was being undermined by operation of the Howard contract, by which enor mously excessive profits would go to the Howard syndicate instead of the company's treasury, and the iu- Seattle Men Buy L. D. What's Ac tion On Market ImmedMtefy. C. W. Melville, representing a number of Seattle capitalists, yes terday completed a deal with L. D. WIcst whereby WJcstoria, tbe new ly platted townsite, passed into Mr. Melville's possession. Otic hun dred acres were affected by the sale and this amount, in lots 50x140 feet, will be placed on tbe market at once. No figure are given. Seattle, it is understood, will be tbe principal selling point, although the local field will be covered and advertising inaugurated. Mr. Melville, after inspecting tbe entire Deschutes Valley, is not backward in stating that in his es timation Bend "leads tbe field." Seattle buyers, be says, are vastly interested in .the local possibilities. After a fewd Jya trip south and east from here? Mr. Mellville re turns to Seattle. errecofd The Weather at Bend. Observor Minor's weatlter shows a mean maximum of 32 above zero jpr January and 41 for Pebrnary. Tbe mean minimum for January was 17 and for Febru ary 15. The warmest weather in January was 56, on the 30th, and In February 53, on tbe 12th. Tbe coldest temperature in January was 13 below zero, on tbe 3d, and in February 6 below on the 2d. Tbe snowfall in January was 7 inches and in February 4 inches. So far this month the highest temperature was 66 on the 17th and i8tb, and the lowest 20 above on tbe 8th. Killing frosts have occurred only four tiroes this montb, thus far. Crocuses, violets, manzanita and other spring blos soms have been out for a week. Hotel BnJargiatT. Part of the building now occu pied by Landlord O'Kane, of tbe Bend Hotel, and formerly used as a bowling alley, bas been remodeled as an annex to the hotel. Twelve comlortable rooms have been in stalled, which arc now being paint ed, papered and furnished, making a total of 42 guest rooms. The commodious 20-room addi tion to the Pilot Butte Inn, at tbe north end of Wall street, is searing completion, and promises soon to materially add to the comfort of tbe many visitors who are crowd ing into town. Certainly present indications point to a rush of new' comers that will tax to the utmost the capacity of Bend hotels, despite their enlarging, and Bend dwell ings, increase they in number ever m rapidly.
