SEES WATER POWERS Chief Hnglncer of (leotoglcat Survey on the Deschutes. M. 0. I.clghtou, Chief Engineer of the Geological Survey, is out from Washington making personal examination of the lauds tempora rily withdrawn for water power Mites. He was in llcud Saturday on his way down the Deschutes to the mouth of Crooked. He will examine that stream, which will cud his work in this section. He traversed the course of the Des chutes from its mouth to a point above the junction of Big and Little rivers. Mr. Lclglitou declined to say what he would recommend as to the lauds withdrawn, He did say that he had found the Deschutes river from Bcuham Falls to its mouth to be almost a continuous set les of water powers, and many of the cotitroliug sites ore still In the hands of the government. The inference was plain that with drawal of such sites would be made permanent, with a view to congres sional action. It was also fairly evident that the lauds provision ally withdrawn above Hcnhstn Palls, particularly in the forks of the river, would be restored to entry, there being no water power there to justly holding toe lauds further. While on the upper river this party occupied the Minor home stead cabin. It camped Friday night where the Silver Lake road crosses the Central Oregon canal and moved out early next morniug for Crooked river. Mr. Lcighton lus examined the withdrawals in Montana, Idaho and Washington and has yet to inspect those of Wy outing and Utah. AUTO ROAD TO BURNS. Desert Kouto (lood Uxcept Tea Miles Should bo Improved. A. C. Lucas drove Messrs. Kit ney and Ilryan through from Bend to Burns last week, taking the road across the "desert" all the way. Mr. Lucas thinks his was the first machine to make the through run over that road. The going was good except for about 10 miles of rough trail through the section where Crook, Lake and Malheur counties corner. On his return, over the other route via Fife and Prineville, Mr. Lucas took up with the County Court the matter of Improving that bad stretch of road. Judge Kills said he would write the other counties to sec if there would be concert of action, for it would do no good to have the road improved in only one of the counties. With this route improved and the work in the Cas cade mountains completed there would be an excellent auto road across the state from Iiugenc to Burucs. Miss Marion Wicst left last Fri day to spend a year in Boston. MOVE TO EXPAND Your Bank and Your Business A&E ALIKE IN THIS ONE RESPECT: Success Depends upon Satisfactory Service.

At the regular council meeting last evening Mayor Caldwell pre sided for the first time. A petition signed by 50 names was presented praying that the council order an election for taking into the city limits all the platted lands adjacent to Bend Kenwood, Aubrey Hlghts, Lytic, Riverside, Wiesto rla and Deschutes. No action upon It was taken. Claims as follows were approved and ordered paid: C A. Chaptnsn, mtrtbil 75 00 roruimi uacieroiogical LAtrty., 5 00 Ctiss. Goctgin, clearing streets.. 4 00 H.

Total I314 88 Tbe three ordinances Introduced at the previous meeting to ref late auto driving, to license moving picture shows, and to close saloons nights and Sundays were passed without discussion. Carlyle Triplett resigned as po lice officer, because he was about to move into his new house outside the corporation limits, and tbe re signatlon was accepted. A plan was submitted by tbe Or egon Trunk Railway showing the proposed bridge at Greenwood ave nue. This was not deemed en tirely satisfactory and a committee consisting of Aldermen Hunter and Kelley was appointed to act with tbe City Attorney in arriving at an understanding with the railway company. After much discussion the council voted that burning of waste paper would be permitted within 50 feet of buildings, under wire screens and outside of 50 feet without wite pro tection. Aldermen Sellers and Hunter were appointed a committee to act with the City Attorney in consider ing with the Bend Water, Light & Power company a contract for street lighting. Tbe ditch-crossing at Bond and Minnesota was ordered to be in creased la width to 33 feet. Howard Hilke was captured by Marshal Chapman last Saturday having a horse belonging to James Reed of Culver, which he was ac cused of stealing. The prisoner was taken to Prineville where he was held to the circuit court on bond of 500. A. Youngstrom, of the railroad contracting firm of Bryan & Youngstrom, returned this week from a business trip to Spokane. He says there Is a general disposi tion to go slow with all new rail road work in the inter-mountain country and several contracts in the upper country have been sus pended altogether. For awhile it was feared the retrenchment policy would affect the work in Oregon but it now seems to be settled that there will be no cessation of activ ity in this field. Bryan & Youngstrom are push ing tLeir contract, from Bend northward, without any timidity whatever. More than too men are regularly employed on eight sta tions. Two of these stations, where the trouble occurred a few weeks ago, are under foremen in the employ of the contractors, and tbe other six are conducted by the station men themselves. The overhead crossing of Green wood avenue, in this city, Is quite an important piece of construction. One hundred thousand feet of tlm be-s are required for it, and part of this is only temporary. Concrete piers will take the place of wooden ones when the railroad gets in op eration. Greenwood avenue is ex cavated to a depth of six feet below its normal level, giving a clear headway of 13 feet under the rait way track. There will be two 8-foot sidewalks aud three 1 6-foot driveways, making a total street width of 66 feet a the crossing. It will be thus restricted along 64 feet length of tbe street. Before the present plans were adopted for that crossing the grade had been prepared for n narrower opening and now the material thus filled in is being removed at considerable expense to the company. The roads heretofore in use through Lytic acre tracts have been blocked by the new railway grade, compelling use of Fifth street into Bend. When the Greenwood avenue crossing shall be completed the railway grade will be extended across Hawthorn, Ironwood and Juniper, thus closing those thor oughfares at the railroad right-of-way. The deepest cut iu this vicinity is at the southern edge of Lvtle, where nature has piled the rock 18 feet and 4 inches higher than the railroad. The cut in Lytic acre tracts is being extended to the limits of the right-of-way In order Rough and Dressed LUMBER ALL SIZES OF DOORS and WINDOWS "REX FLINTKOTE" AND "MIKADO" ROOFING BUILDING PAPER DEADENINO FELT AND TAR PAPER 16-IN.

K. Kuncy and Contractor Bryan left last Wcdes day for a trip to Burns, returning Sunday. A rough inspection was made of the country traversed by the line surveyed southeastward from Bend. It is said that that road will be one of the cheapest to operate in the west, because of easy grades and curves, and will prob ably make possible a reduction of several hours in the time required to travel between the coast and the Missouri river. Mr. Kuney has now returned to his survey camp and will close up the work there in a few days. The Work In Redmond. (Rttlnood Hub.) Nearly apille of roadbed is well along toward completion Inside the city limits of Redmond. Commencing at tbe south ern city limits, a cut has been made four or five feet in depth. All the rock ha been rcmored from this for about a hun dred yards, there is a stretch of perhaps twentr yards that has not been touched. Heyond this holes hare been drilled for blast that will remove several cubic varda of rock. Then comes another part of the cut that ha apparently all the necessary rock removed to where it ends at the point about opposite I street Tbe earth from this latter section of the cut has Ijeen used to make a fill which ha mncb ot tlie material in place, but It not vet finished is tbe last of the work done in the city limits. Tbe entire righlofway ha been cleared through tbe town. WATER IS GOOD SEPTIC TANK OVERFLOW IS NOT HARMFUL. Bacteriologist Who Analyzes Speci men Says It Is Suitable for Drinking Unseptlclsed Sew age not Harmless. SISTERS SAWMILLS Three of Them Can't Keep Pace with Lumber Demand. The new sawmill of the Roberts Brothers, two miles south of Sis ters, was started for the first time last Saturday and worked satisfac torily. It is expected to run regu larly hereafter and turn out about 15,000 feet of lumber daily. W. W. Wilson and J. W. Berry are putting In a water mill at their old site on Pole CTeck, three miles southwest of Sisters. Their mill on tbe Jacob Quiberg place was burned last year and now they are going back to water power. Tbe recent fire at the Spoor & Burkhard mill, about five miles this side of Sisters, dcstioycd the engine and saws, entailing a loss of about $3000. Tbe planer was not burned. The sawmill is now be ing rebuilt and will soon be ready lor business ogaiu. Demand for lumber is said to be more than all these mills can sup ply. A good deal of building is being done by Squaw creek settlers aud then Cline Falls and Redmond reach out there for lumber. A short time ago there was a complaint from users of Deschutes water below Bend to the effect that the river was poluted bete. The polution complained of was over flow from septic tanks near the river. In order to get authentic information upon tbe subject Al derman Overturf caught a bottleful from the overflow of the Allen tank and sent it to the Oregon Agricul tural College for analysis. Pro fessor John Fulton, at tbe college, sent the specimen to Professor Emile F. Fcrnot of Portland, who is the bead of the Portland Bacte riological Laboratory as well as of tbat department of work in the O. A. C. Now he has the following report from Professor Fernot: I bee to report that the sample of water. No. 35. received from you through Prof. John I'ulton. contains &1J organisms per cubic centimeter, which is not a high bacterial content. Neither typhoid nor colon bacilli were found to be present, but there was an organism closely resembling tbe coll communis, which required considerable work to differentiate and i known aa Bacillus lactia aerogoues. The water, according to tbe analysis of this sample, is suitable for drinking pur pose. This SDccimen was of fluid result ing from chemical action within the repllc tanlc. Sewage not chemically septicised from sinks closets, laundries, stables, etc. that might reach the river would not be thus harmless. There is a stern city ordinance against the deposit of such sewage in the river here. Hand Blown by Dynamite Cap. Clyde Robinson. 12 years old, last Friday afternoon was playing with dynamite caps taken from a supply used in blasting out a chan nel in the rock from the unster machine shop, when one exploded and seroittsly injured his left band. Dr. Coe was obliged to amputate tbe thumb and middle finger close to the band and the end of the forefinger was taken off. The Robinson family recently came to Bend from Madras and occupy quarters iu the Linster Hall building. The First National Bank OF BEND, BEND. OREGON Dr. U. 0. 008. Prsldnt C.
