The Hoes were well spoken and the halting In speech and action ho often characteristic of nmatucr theatrical was notable for its ab sence, Marga'ct Wicst as curly headed Sue, the little colored girl, was a lavoritc, with her inscrutable seri ousness in sidesplitlng situations Ivan McGillvoray made a hit a MacKacdy the has-been actor, while Claude Van dc Vert aud Augclltic Young, husky foatballist and fair co-ed whom fortune led together after a delightful period of humor ous complicationsc played their parts cleverly. l'rcd Lucas, the un-blushlng Rosalie, Hill Short was even a belter girl than college man.

SCHOLARS AND nmmmmHli STr 2SnUK$!tk3i iVMBfli m ZlMmmflBerJri JBi rVTINK years ago four scholars were ' still stands near the Deschutes west of the Pilot Uulte Development Co.'s offirc. In September, 1904, there were 30 pupils, who received instruction in the building which is now the property of the Catholic Church, and elsewhere in rooms about town. At commencement this year 182 scholars were enrolled, 160 in the Public and 32 in the High School, under the instruction of six teachers. Tbe present building cas erected in 1907 ut a cost of about $7500, the High School having been established the previous year. Tbe High School graduates are admitted to the state university without the necessity of examination, and the schools throughout ore equipped arid conducted in conformity to all the accepted methods of the best institutions. SAYS ELECTKIC LIGHTS SOON Prank Robertson States That Polea Will Ho tlrected. According to Prank Robertson, who is at the head of the Iiend Wiitcr, Light & Power Co., poles for electric light wires will be erected as soon as suitable material can be obtained. Mr. Robertson says a water wheel aud generator have been 'ordered to be installed for temporary power purposes in connection with the new dam. .The company has secured the services of h. T. Russell, on elec trical engineer, to take charge of their work here. Mr. Russell has been employed ut Cazadcro on the big power plant of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Co., and as construction engineer on govern ment work in tbe Philippines. LAUNDRY NFXtIInTERPRISE. Work Is Commenced on llend's First Urlck ftullUlnjr. Rend is to have a steam laundry, and that just as soon asa building can uc completed aim me ma chinery installed. Mr. and Mrs. w. S. Lockwood, tormerly ol Col orado Springs, are at the head of the new enterprise. 1 he building which will be erected for the laun dry, it is understood, will be in the vicinity of theLiustcr Opera House. A L- Lucas announces that tbe foundation work for llend's first brick building is well under way. Mr. Lucas is erecting n seven-room one-and-a-half story dwelling on Ironwood avenue opposite the home of P. P. Smith. Bricks for the structure are being pressed at the brick yard with the new brick makiiiK machine recently installed, and the construction contract let to Hunnell Niswongcn Central Oregon Canal Oocs Out. On Friday afternoon the Central Oregon canal of the D. I. & P. Co. "wetit out," a few hundred yards below the tower end of the flume. The break occurred opposite tht spillway of the Pilot Uutte cnnal, through which the water escaped to the river niter passing under the fluming of the P. u. canal nt that point. About twenty feet of the ditch was swept away. The dam age was reported with all possible haste and water was put in tue ditch again today. Flslilnc Party Climbs Lava Uutte. A score of young people headed by D. M. Davis and Miss Markel, with Mrs. Herbert Allen as chap crone, had a long day's outing Sunday. Th,c picnickers' objective point was Ueuliam Pulls, en route to which many of the more strenu ous made the climb of Lava Uutte. Above the fulls some fine creels' of trout were caught and n picuic lunch nud. supper served. lloottluz (tend In California.

The work on the power dam across the Deschutes at Bend has made great progress during tbe last few weeks, the final filling of rock being about half completed. Already the course of the river has been almost entirely diverted from the main channel into tbe spillway, and the water backed up to the bend in front of the Drake house. The dam, a solid rock fill, is 250 feet in width, 18 feet high, and will raise the water 14 feet when tbe spillways are closed. The spill way construction consists of a rock fill crib with 12x12 inch timbers, all bolted to solid rock foundation, and is 250 feet long Five gates hnvc been installed in the spillway, two of which will be connected by a flume with a so-inch turbine wheel with 210 horsepower capac ity, which will be employed for generating electricity until the railroad's advent makes practicable the completion of the big perma nent power plant. At the lower end of the spillway provision has been made for a log gate, to afford passage for logs through the dam if necessary. A fish ladder will be constructed to enable trout to get over the dam. A remarkably beautiful pond will result from tbe dam's comple tion, which, situated directly be side the town, will add a notable feature to Bend's list of attractions. ENQINE FALLS INTO CANAL. After Trouble, Traction lingtne In Use at Brick Yard. Last Friday afternoon a big trac tion engine that was being taken from the Reynolds place, four miles eabt of town, to the btick yard on the Barney Lewis homestead, crashed through the bridge across the Pilot Butte canal at Hawthorn avenue. Planks had bfn laid to make n safe roadway for the heavy machine, but the bridge timbers proved to be decayed and they would not support the weight. Because of the break uear the flume water was turned out of the canal about the time this engine fell in, makinr tbe work of rescue much easier. It was gotten out of the trouble the next day. The Brick Company has settled with the county, paying about $15 iu money and furnishing teams ana men to assist in repairs. Because the bridge was plainly defective it was not deemed just to tax tLe en tire expense of the. accident against the engine, The machine is uow working satisfactorily at the brick yard. This encine was brought into the couutry some to years ago to BEND SCHOOLS. Bend school house a log cabin that do freighting for F. M. Chrian, a Silvar Lake merchant. It proved unprofitable for that business and was idle nt Silver Lake until John Stcidl purchased it six years ago and used it a season or two haul ing logs. It went with the saw mill and other property sold to Henry Linster, by whom it is now owned. For some time it has been used to pull juniper trees in clear ing land at the Reynolds ranch and now it is furnishing power tor moulding brick. The broken bridge is already repaired for service.

On Monday actual work was commenced ? by sub-Cestracter Kitchen, who has three wiles of grade from Bend southward. Hid men are engaged in clearing tbe rightofway preparatory to Baking grade. Six camps have bees established, extending from Bead to tbe south side of the lava field. Contractor Silke, who has this portion of tbe work, already bs swore than 100 men "oa tbe job" while aay more constantly are cowing is from Sbaniko. He expects to heave be tween five and six hundred workers on his portion of tbe contract by the middle of August. One of tbe most interesting fea tures of the work which well indi cates its magnitude, is the iaattlia tion of a water system by the cos tractor along the grade. A puaep ing station is to be iaetalled ea tbe Deschutes west of tbe Wet WeatberSprisgs construction camp, whence water will be pnwped te a reservoir situated oa high ground above the camp. From tbe reser voir a pipe line will be kid along tbe grade to supply net only tbe camps but tbe steam shovels and drills which will be employed oa tbe work. This pipe is to be buried three feet below the surface of tbe ground to protect k. from freezing, for, says Mr. Silke, the work will be pushed hard aU win ter. A steam shovel weighitter approx imately 80 tons wi be freighted in from Sbaniko next month, to he used oa the grade between here awl Lava Butte. A aaaber of steam drills also will be employed. The work from Bend southward across tbe lava is by far tbe heavi est encountered south of Madras, aad will keep large crews employed near Bead for probably 18 months or more.
