would further damage adjacent
lands by depositing silt upon them
and would materially effect' the
purity of the water and conse

The chairman spoke of the hard
ship of ImviiiK to pay for water

SHOT THROUGH HEAD
Suicide of John V. Harper while
Mentally Unbalanced.
John V. Harper, 33 years old,
son-in-law of Mrs. Christine Welder,
committed suicide yesterday morn
ing by shooting through the head.
Doth Mrs. Wcidcr and Mrs
Harper had risen and were out of
the bouse. Nick Welder, who had
slept later than usual, was getting
up. He heard the pistol report in
the adjoining room, but the bullet,
after going through Harper's head
from chin to crown, went through
a feather pillow, both sides of
Nick's room, through a Hour bin
and lodged in a cupboard, where it
rattled some cuttlery. So he did
not at first recognize It as a gun
shot. Then hearing a peculiar
noise In the adjoining room he
went in and found Harper bloody
and senseless. Dr. Coe was hastily
summoned but nothing could be
done for the injured man, who died
in a lew minutes.
Several years ago Harper was
injured in a Montana railway ac
cident and since then had been
erratic at times. For several days
he had been unbalanced and there
is no doubt that he was not rational
when he shot himself. This was
the conclusion reached by the jury
at the inquest conducted by Justice
Orcutt.

The Farmer and the

kVER FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS of Bend money

for cattle. There are practically no cattle raised In and
near Demi; not even sufficient to supply the meat markets of
Ueiid.
With the Increased population which will result from
railroad transportation, which is now near, and the natural
Srowth of our country, the deiuaud for good beef cattle will
ouble in 191 1.
Why not raise these cattle here and keep this money at
Lome? There isn't any danuer of not having a demand.
Swift & Co. ore putting in a three million dollar packltiR
plant iu Purtlvtid that will buy all the cattle and bogs raised
at reasonable prices, if you can not sell them here at home,
lllll Itanley says the toe "Couiuiou 'wallctu hog' has come to

IJvery farmer In this vicinity can raise a few pood cattle
for 1911. If you haven't the money see us. We have and are
