Tho following Htatomont of tho purposes of tho North Unit In pur chasing rlKht of the C. O. I. Co.

Terminating a six -weeks' enforced vacation, tho result of the Influenza epidemic, tho Hcnd schools reopened this morning with an attendance of about 8G per cent, of normal. Tho proportion in tho high school was slightly abovo this, according to City Superintendent Moore. Tho decrease was believed to bo chiefly duo to threatening weather conditions, only a few pupils remaining at homo through fear of cxposuro to tho "flu."

It is expected that rogular sessions in this district will be resumed at an early date.

At tho tlmo that tho influenza epidemic rondo Itself felt In Dcnd, night work was being hampered by lack of type writers, but four new machines havo been received, sufficient to tako caro of all needs In tho commercial coursos. During their absence from classes, pupils took advantago of tho tlmo placed at their disposal, and lessons assigned nearly two months ago wero found by Instructors to have been thoroughly prepared In tho ma jority of cases.

Ilc'iort of Ontnil Jury In Prison Caso Itoceivctl ultli Much Dhfavor In Ix-jcfxlatlvo Circle) In Snlrm. (BpUI to Th Bulletin.) SALEM, Doc. 12. Stnto Engineer Cupper has been advised by the United States reclamation service that ono of Its engineer will mako a geological survoy of tho Ocnhara Falls project In tho Deschutes val ley. This Is In lino with tho request for Information made at State Engi neer Lewis somo tlmo ago as to tho status of Irrigation projects In Ore gon which tho stato cnglncor felt should bo considered for post-bellum development by tho government. Tho Deschutes project wax promi nently mentioned by Mr. Lewis. In that connection it may bo safely said that tho new stato engineer will take much tho samo attitude toward tho Deschutes project as that taken by Mr. Lewis. Tho wholo De schutes ralloy knows that Mr. Lewis was ono of tho most ardent cham pions of tho development of that mighty valley Into ono great project which would cover over 200,000 acres of somo of tho Sneat Irrigable lands In tho United States. Mr. Cupper bolioves as Mr. Lewis felt on that plan and behind It all tho governor also feels very much the same way. Tho governor be lieves that Irrigation of such projects must bo dono on an Immense scale, oven aa tho war was handled on an Immense scale, and Stnto Englncor Cupper will receive tho backing of tho executlvo In anything that he can do to make the dreams of the Deschutes valley como truo. IMfr Development Seen. Tho apparent Interest which the reclamation servlco Is taking In this work, coupled with tho fact that the country gonorally bcllovca that Irri gation development is a logical de velopment when linked up with pro vision for returning soldiers and sailors, all points to tho possibility of great thtngs being' dono In Central Oregon during tho next fow years. When Stnto Engineer Low la about a year ago unfolded his schomo for tho enormous development of the Deschutes valley In ono great co ordinated project ho was booted at moro or less as a visionary and a dreamer. But It Is barely possible that yet In his llfetlmo ho will soo his vision unfold and will see his dream becomo a reality. Grand Jury Urport Scored.
