COUNCIL DISCUSSES
SEWERAGE MATTERS
City Marshall Appointed, Near llecr
License Are (Jrontrd No Ac
tion on Street (trading,
At the city council meeting held
last night the subject chiefly dis
cussed was what action had best be
taken regarding certain sewage
nulnaticeft complained of to the
council. 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.

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

understood, will be used by Mal

sentative for Contractor Henry, and
who also will maintain his head

whom the hall was rented, will
erect a number of partitions in it,
according to the plans of tbe rail
road lessees.
Yesterday the first contractor to
put in his appearance with a work
ing force, ready to commence Oper
ations, came to Bend. II. W.

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

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.
