It was brought to notice that an overflow from adjoining septic tanks, existing in the alley extending from Oregon to Minne sota streets through block 10, was a menace to publlchealth. DHcussion brought out the fact that in 1008 the city had author ized and paid for the construction of a sewer along said ulley to care for the overflow from the Hotel Bend proper!) , adjoining. This sewer, winch appears to have been temporary at best, is now unable successfully to do Its work, there suit being an alley flooded with vile smelling water, ami the complaints of adjoining residents. Ou motion of Triplctt the chair man of the health committee, O'Nell, was instructed to notify all owners of ptopcrty whence septic tHiik overflow emanated, that they were required to care for the matter themselves. The sentiment of the council, as expressed by Kelly, was "if the city sets the precedent of caring for sewerage from one uiiihh ph.ee it will have to do alike for all and soon will go broke." S. M. Scott was appointed city marshal by the mayor, and on mo tion of Sellers the council approved the appointment. Applications for licenses for the sale of near beer, each accompanied by $ 50 were received from the es tablishments of Kulp, aud Holmes aud Smith. Licenses were granted, with the provision that they were not to go Into effect unltl bonds were furnished according to ordi nance. An application of W, H. Thomas, of Portland, for perpetual franchise for a telephone in the city was read for the first time. As Ovcrturf, chairman of the committee to arrange for street grade engineering was absent, no action in this mattei was attempted. Hut four couiiciliueu were present: Kcllcy, Sellers. Triplctt and O'neil. The next meeting occurs on Tues day, June 7th. Mr. and Mrs. Prank Kulp have moved upon their land near Culver.

HEADQUARTERS HER Bend Get Main Office For Engineers and Contractor;-Rival Roads Set tle Disputes Camps Come. Bend is to be the headquarters of both the engineering force and the contractors on the railroad work from Madras to the Klamath In dian Reservation, Office quarters have been secured here and from now until the completion of this portion of the construction at liend will be situated the executive head quarters for all the work. J. J. Crydcrman, division en gineer, who has charge of the en gineering work on the Madras Klamath stretch, has secured La ra's Hall. Part of the hall, it is understood, will be used by Mal colm McPce, who is the field repre sentative for Contractor Henry, and who also will maintain his head quarters here. A. M.

Yesterday the first contractor to put in his appearance with a work ing force, ready to commence Oper ations, came to Bend. II. W. Silkc. who has the subcontract un der Henry for the 11 wiles of grade from isctul southward, lias come in with a score of men prepared tc "get busy" at once. Mr. Silkc. it is understood, has seemed office quarters in the Hotel Bend annex. Yesterday he was out looking over his stretch of work with a view to picking out a camp site, and it is understood that a point from two to three miles from town is practically decided upon. In all probability the men in this advance party will be set to work clearing the right of way pre paratory to actual construction. One hundred laborers are reported as on their way t6 Bend. The. report comes from Madra that a big camp has been installed two miles south ot that point, with others to follow immediately to wards Bend. Last week an agreement was en tered into by the Hill and Harri- S MAXIMUM OF 14,000 H. P. Enterprise yjll Require a Year or Mora to Complete To Take Place ot Structure Contemplated by D. r, t P. Co. John Steidl and Thomas Tweet Ibis week began constfuction of n dam to develop 14,000 horsepower. It, Is located at the rapids about a quarter of a mile below the head work9 of the "Swnlley" irrigation ditch. The plan contemplates a dam of solid masonry 45 feet high across the river where it is less than too feet wide nnd has solid rock walls aud bottom. The back water will conic to the foot of the Linster power at Lytic. More than a year ago Steidl aud Tweet entered into contract with the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Co. whereby the irrigation com pauy was to have the right to a LIAM T T man roads whereby all existing right-of-way disputes in the Des chutes Canyon nave been settled and a joint use of some 37 miles of track arranged for. The plan of the agreement puts an end to all hostilities between the two Central Oregon roads, aud in sures quick construction from now on, unhampered by conflicts or "hold-ups." -The Deschutes i road will have running rights over a 13 mile stretch of 0. T, Ry. track on the cast bank of the Deschutes where the latter had filed its sur veys first and practically shut out Its rival. Also tbe O. T. bridge over Crooked River will be used by the Harriman road. In return the Deschutes line will convey to the Oregon Trunk roads, and indi cates 111 position on me rail road map with the completion of the building roads. A fact of interest in connec tion with t b i a miniature glimpse of Oregon Lere por trayed is Bend's central posi tion. Indeed, Bend is but few miles from tbe exact cen ter of the state. Tbe cut is prepared express ly for use upon letterheads and envelopes, where it not only will serve ns an attract ive addition to the appearance of the stationery, but will prove splendid town adver tising matter to be sent out Oregon Trunk at cost the necessary rigbt-of way across tbe Smith Ranch at mile 75, over which pas sage liltuerto has been blocked. In addition the Deschutes company is to grant the necessary permission fur the over-head crossings of tbe O. T. tracks at Celilo. The agreement is announced "purely one of mutual conven ience," and while it arranges for the joint uie of trackages in bo wise limits the separate construction and operation of the two roads. It la swapping of advantages for the common good the Smith Ranch "hold-up" for the right-of-way blockade on the 1 a miles north of Trout Creek. The O. T. Ry. will retain sole ownership of its entire rigbt-ol-way and trackage, simply resting train: rights thereon. The contracts for these rights have been made per petual. Prom the mouth of Trout Creek to a point about six miles south of Madras each road has its own sep arate line. Thence to a point, 500 feet south ot Redmond the Hill tracks will be used in common Prom Redmond southward each road will construct entirely without J reference to the action of the ether site for diversion of the North ca nal for watering fifty-odd thousand acres of arid land ou condition that one-half the power from tbe ovct- flow should go to bteldl and Tweet perpetually. It was also a condition of the contract that work on such diversion should begin immediately aud thut the irrigation company should spend at least $Sooo a month upon the improvement uqtil it be completed. Nothing has been done in the way of carrying ot this agreement, so Steidl aud Tweet are going ahead on plans substantially similar to those con templated' by the irrigatieu com pany, except that they are making 110 preparations for tbe irrigation canal. This enterprise is not hostile to the irrigation project. Mr. StckJl says he will not object to turning the work over to the com pauy at auy time upon practically the terms set forth In the agreement tnade last year. The present dif ficulties of the company- forbid its construction of the North canal, aud to wait until the company's affairs are straightened eat and then begin ou the dam would have the effect of delaying settlement of a considerable area between Bead and Redmond. For the company, when it shall be ready to proceed, to find so important a work as this dam ready made, will materially hasten tbe general development. And it is a safe business invest ment because it would be profitable for power alone if the irrigation canal should never be built. It will take a year or more to complete the dam and hcadworks. It is expected that the railroad will be here in time to carry tbe cement required, but all crib work and rock excavation necessary for the masonry will be done and a coffer dam across two-thirds of Die river channel will be built before that time, and prepared rock for tbe walls will be on the ground. This is the slow. part of the job. The estimates show available power from this dam ranging be tween 4000 horsepower at the height of the irrigation season and 14,000 horsepower when no irriga tion is done. There is 10 feet of fall in the natural channel of the river, besides tbe 45-foot dam, making a bead of feet. Tbe cost of the dam will not be less than $45,000, It has not yet been determined wbat use will be made of the power developed, but there is no doubt of an eager market for it.
