H The llullctln ran a market pace
some audi report as the above would
bo carried to describe the condition
or tho local butter market on Satur
day, bringing Joy to tho producer of
butter fat and sorrow to the con
sumers, already struggling with tho
problem of tho high cost of living.
Tho h c. or I., however, did not
soem to bother tho 10 local mon who
wire reiponslhlo for the unusunl but
ter price or Saturday, or If It did It
wa less of a consideration tb thorn
than their desire to glvo tho new
creamery ono good final boost beforo
It sottlcd down to business. A a
result the creamery Is richer than It
wan and 10 families hereabout are
trying to see Just how far butter can
go that costs a dollar or more a
pound.
The occasion of tho high prions
was the auction sale of tho first but
ter made In tho new creamery. Ton
pounds were sold, the honor or get
ting tho first pouud going to It. M.
Smith at a cost or $7.00. The other
nine pounds went at prices ranging
from 3. B0 to 11.00, the total re
ceipts for the 10 pounds being
$25.75.
Tho first butter was made on Tues
day or last week and other churnlngs
f.llowod during the wre,- but none
or the product hbb put on tho market
aa It was desired to have Saturday a
auction not only a sale or tho first
butter made but the first aalo of but
ter from the new plant. Following
the Commercial Club luncheon a
large number went down to Inspect
the creamery quarter and machinery
and when nil had gathered Dr. P. H.
Dencer, president of the company,
made a short address recounting the
difficulties that had been met In get
ting the project rtarted. He thanked
tho local husln i men who had sub-j
scribed for the purchase or tho ma-l
chUaery and paid en especial tribute'
to President Kejes or tho Commercial)
Club for the work he had done In the
matter.
Following his speech Dr. Dencer'
went to auctioning off the butter. Thoi
first bid for the first pound was ono.

raises and then Jumps or a dollar nt
a time until a bid or seve3 dollars
was rocehed and It M. 8mlth took
tho first tound at that price Tho
second pound went to H W. Skuse
for $3 00. Bidding for the third whs
moro brisk than for the second, duo
doubtless to the fact pointed out byl
the auctioneer, that It was the anh
third iound that ever would bo sold I
from the creamery. It finally went
to A. U French for $3.50. '

WOOD INTERVIEWS HILL AND

HIII'm Plans for Central Oirgnn to be
Carried Out IIorHni.cn Line Hope
to Hewed Doscliutc by 10 15.
Following on the trip or tho Hill
lino officials through Central Oregon
a row weeks ago and the understand
ing that they Intend to return soon
for another tour through the Inter
ior country, and tho reports or tho
extension or tho Oregon ft Eastern
line on to Dog Mountain, a recent
letter rrom C. E. 8. Wood ot Port
land to a friend In Ontario, Oregon,
assumes unusual Interest.
Mr. Wood bad been In New York
nnd had seen both J. J. Hill and E.
H. Schln. Ho wrote of his Interviews
aa follows-
"I had a talk with Mr. James J.
Hill, which he said need not be treat
ed confidential, In which ho said ho
hod not abandoned a single original
plan for Oregon, but he had seen this
period of depression coming and he
had stopped all construction work ac
cordingly, but as soon ns warranted
his work In Oregon would be resum
ed, but at this time ho could giro no
more definite assurance than this.
I waa very glad to learn that ho has
no agreements with nnybody and that
his orl&Inat plans are to be carried
out Of course, you understand. In
auch matters as railroads, no man can
positively promise what can be dono
In the future.
'T also saw Mr Schltf I Kuhn. Loeb
& Co.) of the executive board or the
Union Pacific system, which la really
the financial backer of Harrlman. He
said, referring directly to tho Oregon
Esstern, that the apparent discon
tinuance of work wn only part of i
general order, applTFaGIe dVer"lno"
whole system, for a temporary shut
down during the present money strin
gency; that they were anxious. H
possible, to have the Oregon-Eastern
operating at least to connect with tho
Deschutes by 19 IS, and work would
be pushed on It aa soon as condi
tion warrant it. I might also cay
that tho right-of-way people are now
applying to the Land Grant for right-of-way
west."

HOWARD OFFERS TO

Members of O. O, I. Co. Wlatir
Users' Association Gathered fa
llend on Saturday DIcua Pro
ceedings Against Company. ,
Support of tholr directors la what
ever action they might see fit to tako
against the Central Oregon Irrigation
Company or tbo Dasort Land Hoard
was pledged by the members of-the
Water Users' Association at a wojl
attended meeting here on Saturday.
The action was taken after an'cXi
tended discussion of the relations
which now exist between the com
pany and the water users In which
the legal aspects of tho matter were
considered aa well an tho possibility
of arriving at some understanding
which would further tho Interest oC
both parties without legal proceed1
ings.
An undertono of hostility to tho
company nnd Its present officials was
apparent throughout the meeting.
Nevertheless when C. S. Hudson urg
cd fair treatment of the company and
that any action bo predicated on aa
examination of tho company's books,
as offered by Mr, Howard, hlo ro
marka were ravorably received and
it Is understood that steps will bo
taken by tho water user's directors ta
avail themselves of the offer. Two
questions In particular are to be In
vestigated, whether or not tho com
pany has up a 125,000 cash bondefor
tho rebuilding of the flume and
whether or not the maintenance fees
paid by settlers are actually used In
"maintenance or In part for that pur
pose and In part for the payment ol
company salaries.
On the first question Mr. Howard
and Stato Engineer Lewis are dia
metrically opposed and on the sec
ond, according to the legal advice of
Vernon A. Forbes depends In large
measure the rights of the settlers
against tho company.
Howard Make Offer.
Speaking on behalf of the com
pany, Mr. Howard asserted that the
fees collected from settlers were not
ufuclent'in theraselvco to 'pay tho
maintenance charges on the project
and that the salaries of the officers,
to which so much objection waa
made, wore derlvqd from other
sources. "If you find on Investiga
tion," he said, "that you ought to
have a receiver for the company, I'll
help you get one." Aa a more de
sirable proceeding for all parties,
however, ho urged cooperation In
procuring patent ta tbo Pilot Bulto
lands and In obtaining assistance for
the completion ot the North Canal
unit accoidlng to the plan outlined
by Governor West last January.
Tho patents are now held up bv
Stato Engineer Lewis, whoBe position
was stated In a letter to the company
printed n Tho Bulletin last week
On the North Canal matter It was
stated by V A. Forbes that the gov
ernment Investigation had been com
pleted and the report was now In Aho
hr.nds of the Reclamation Service.
