A Farmer's Logic
TTWO FARMERS were dlacusslnar tho
advantages of a bank account from
n fnrmor'a atandpoint. "But," iwld tho
first, "I urn so far from town it Is In
convenient for mo to como In to do my
banking," "All tho mor,o reason,", hfa
companion replied, "why you should
have an account. When you have a
chuck to deposit simply endorso it over
to tho bnnk and mall it to Uiem. Thoy
'will credit and receipt you, Thon
whon you buy anything, pay by check.
THnt'fl tho way other pay you. That'a
up-to-date business," Is tho argument
not logical? r
Water at 45 feet n a well dug at
a money outlay of I3.CS, and the dis
covery of excellent fire clay, la tho
good news to tbo homeateader In
Mllllcan valley, and incldenfolly to
nil the people of llend who are Inter
e-stod In tho development of tho
southeast territory.
H. V. Dyor, who helped dig tho
well, waa In town Monday and told
of the important achievement. Tho
well I located on tbe claim of deorge
K, Deathman, tho west half of sec
tion 3C, township 19 aoulh, ranse 14
east, Tbl I only a ahort distance
on th east side of Horso Hldgo. The
well waa put down aa a test, four
man having adjoining clalma agree
ing to pay their pro rata aharo of tbe
coat. These are Messrs. Deathman
and Dyer, Daniel Heeler and D. C.
Roger.
"We started tbe well with tho In
tentlon of going down 100 feet aa
a test,' said Mr. Dyer. "Others had
tried for water In thla valley and
some had failed, and we were told
that water could not be bad. Hut
w had to be shown, and ao Mr.
Deathman and I began on the well.
For 38 feet wo went down through
volcanic ash, without tbo least sign
of water. Then we struck a clay
formation and last Friday got to
water. We did not strike a alnglo
rock tbatiwas bait aa blr as a man'

know what I am talking about. Hack
In Kasl Tennessee, where I came
from In May, a three-foot vein of
thla clay I considered excellent, ao
in addition to showing omo of tbo
'knocker that we can get water out
In that country, vre have discovered
what may turn out to be a paying
Industry,
"The well la four feet In diameter
and wo bavo a big hoad of water.
We bad to curb It only eight feet,
tbe rest of the earth atandlng aa
firm a a curbed wall. Tho entire
cost of the well, excepting our work,
waa 13.40 for lumber, 11 for ropo
and 35 centa for nails, a total of
13.06."
Tho water Is clear and good, Mr.
Dyer having a water bag full of it
with hint which waa drawn out tho
day after the well waa completed.
Ho also brought In samples of the
clay, which may be seen at thla ofQce
aa long aa they last.
Tbe Mllllcan valley la tbe closest
homestead country to Hond, being
distant 30 to 30 miles, and thla sum
mer has been settled up rapidly,
Yesterday morning Charles A.
Grave, a well known resident of the
I'owell Hutte section, fell beneath a
wagon ho waa driving, a wheel of I
tho county court."
A Hfllarled man Ms to ho kept at
tho county swit whoso .duties shall

the county court houxe. by visits to
tho assesflor' ofilro, by going over
record In the sheriff's Office, by at
tending all county court session,
road meetings and Rny other place
where ho can aeuro reliable Infor
mation relating to taxation."
Already tlrnbermen and others
have tho move for the formation of
the proposed association well under
way, and It la tbo boiler of those
Interested that such an orcsnliallort
will bo In actuAl operation before
sixty daH have passed. The great
benefit derived lir rnmhra In
other counties where the scheme ha
been tried out indlcato Its worth and
tho valuable returns that result from
it. both to individual taxtiarera nnri
to tbo county at large.
which passed over hi head, result
ing In almost Instant death.
Tho accldont occurred about IS
miles cortheast of llend, on the
Prlnevlllo road. George llobbs and
Mr. Grave wero bringing in oata to
llend from the Lee Hobbs place,
Ilobb waa driving, a team behind
Graves, who drove mules. The first
Intimation Hobbs had that there Waa
aoraethlng wrong, according to Dr.
Coe, who waa sunh"oned, was when
he noticed that Qrayea' team ran.
First Hobbs found a sack of oata in
the road and then the body of (Iraves,
bta b'ead badly crushed where tho
wheel of tho heavy wagon had pissed
over it. An apparent explanation of
the accident la that Graves dropped
a line, and while attempting to pick
It up tbo mule bolted and knocked
him dowu beneath tbo wagon.
Charles Graves waa In tho neigh
borhood of G5 years of age. and bad
been a resident of this section for
over ten years. At ono time ho waa
county surveyor, and always haa been
prominent In tbo affairs of tbe
county. Ho is aurvlved by a wife,
from whom ho was separated some
five years ago, and by a son who, It
Is understood, now resides In Ari
zona, and by a sister, a resident or
Portland,
Tbo body was taken, to PrlncvlMo
yeaterdr.

at Summer Lake tbla week when J.
W. McCuIley of Gist purchased 320
acre or A. E. Embler. Tho price
was $125 an acre, tho transaction

Mr. McCuIley traded in bis 170 acre

country. Tbo sale was put through
by the Homcacekera' Land Co.
The 220-ocre tract la highly im
proved and in a fine state of culti

Irrigated. Among other things, It

Final decision in tbo matter or Bel
ling the SC0.000 bond Hsuc for tho
construction or a sewer system for
the city or Bend wa completed yes
terday, when tbo bid or Farson, Son
& Co., or New York and Chicago,

records pertaining to tbe bond Issue
will bo forwarded a soon as pos
sible. After It's acceptance the
technicalities or tbo sale will bo com
pleted and dollvery or tho bonds will
be made and the cash turned over

The Farson bid Is well above par

with accrued interest to tbe date of
delivery or tbe bonds. This interest
amounta to 1300 a month. Tbe bid
der also supplies lithographed bonds
tree, tho cost or which, if Imposed
upon the city, would amount to prob
ably about 300.
8ome delay waa experienced In
getting the matter finally decided
owing to a correspondence with tho
two best bidders, and It was not
until yesterday that It proved feas
ible to definitely close tbo deal. Just
bow long it will bo before the bonds
sro taken over by the bonding house
it Is of course Impossible to say, but
there la every reason to aupposo that
If some unforeseen hitch ts not
arise flnaj steps in tho Matter should
bo completed within a month.
Tho council has advertised for
construction bids, to be. opened, on
tho night of October K, It being the
desire to get tbe system laatalled as
soon aa practicable. As stated last
week, every one of, tho seven bids
received was above par, giving a re
markable endorsement ot Bend's de
sirability as a place for Investment
In tbo eyes or outside financial ex
perts. At yesterday's council meeting

gested that ateps be taken to grade
