When the body wn found, an effort

After Fulton hud gone to tho

No such charge have been mude, he

enforcement are responsible for the
criticism of tho llend Volunteer fire

sented hy the department and leading
to a demand for the absolute divorce
of tho police and fire departments
of tho city. Chief of Police Wlllard
Houston, who I alto fire engineer,
declared Tuesday night nt a meeting
of the fire fighter. "The one who
are lilt are the ones who are making
the noise." Houston declared, em
phasizing tliut llend I ut the turhlng
point .between lawlessness and law
enforcement, "llight now I have
i these people on the run,v he said.
Ask Iteiiioval
The city council wa expected to
attend tho meeting In u body, but
only Councilman Gilbert, chairman of
lht--jMittcu- uud-dre -committee, mid
also n member of the fire depart
ment wnt present. It wa on his
suggestion that u motion by Fire
Chief Cation wa based, providing
for a committee to bu composed of
President Owen Hudson of tho volun
teers. Tnvlnr Ithondx. and tlov Lov-
on, to confer with the police and flro
j committee regarding the action to
lie taken. During Tuesday night' ses-
slon hints were dropped from time
' to time that failuio to separate the
police and fire departments would
' mean that the volunteer organization
I would reaso to exist.
I That tho removal of Houston,
I cither a police chief or as fire engl
I neor will solve tho problem confront
ing tho volunteers wu the declara
tion of President Hudson In opening
debute on tho question. He recalled
Hint at a special meeting last week
Houston had asked tho department
to take further time before asking
Ills to resign.
(illtiert PleiuN for Unity
Councilman Gilbert pointed out
that tho city ndiqlnistration hud been
actuated by motive of economy in
combining tho office of fire engineer
nml police chief, but that ho had
never approved of tho use of volun
teer flromcn a police officers. Ho
registered u plea for unity, and as
sured tho volunteers that the people
ot llend, with tho oxception of law
violator or those In sympathy with
Inw violation, do not regard the de
partment members as stool pigeons.
Ho suggested that tt might bo pos
sible to separate the paid firo tight
era from tho volunteer organization.
"Not only tho boozo element, but
tho business men nml tho mills aro
out of sympathy with the depart
ment," nssertcd Hudson. "That
hurl. I'm not president of an or
ganization ot stool pigeons. Coun
cilman Innes has aaid wo can afford
to toko this criticism, but it Isn't
fair to tho dopnrtincnt."
Tt'iuuo of Off lee Short
Houston declared that ho would
fight to stay In tho department, but
that ho could not turn down the city
hy leaving tho police department.
"I'vo got theso peoplo on tho run. It
Isn't fair for tho department to ask
Hie to resign now," ho said. Ho does
not expect to bo either pollco chief
or flro engineer after tho cud of tho
pvonent year.
"Tho bootleggers hnvo got tholr

FARMERS IRRIGATE
WITH ENTHUSIASM

The Silver Lake Irrigation project
will be entirely finished within the
next two weeks, according to J. W.
Cunningham, engineer for tho dis
trict, who was In Dend last week on
hi way homo to Portland. Irriga
tion I already under war. and the
farmers ot that section, who hare
waited for water so long that they
can hardly realize their dream have
cotuo true, arc irrigating their crops
with great enthusiasm, says Cunning
ham. The Summer Lake dam will bo fin
ished in 30 days, but as yet little
work ha been started on the remain
der of the system. Work on the ca
nal and lateral will be pushed as
soon as the dam I completed.
Sliver Lake' Fourth of July cele

LARGE RANGE
Otber Grazing Lands, How
ever, Will Provide for
1200 Head.
With the completion of the North
Canal company's Crane prairie ator
uge rcsorvolr. approximately 7,000
acre of the best cattle range In Cen
tral Oregon will be flooded, but there
will bo plenty of room on the national
forest for the 1200 Jiead of catHf
grazing on the prairie this year.
Plan for this have already been
made by officials of the Deschutes
forest, it is announced.
Heavy sales of cattle resulted this
year In large grazing areas in the
Slsters-Metollus section becoming
avallable for new permittees. On the
Slsters-Metollus and Three Creeks ,
ranges, 1,000 head could be taken
caro of, and there la room on the
Davis lake range, hitherto used for
sheep, for 400 head.
No change in grazing allotments
will be necessary until next year.
25M ACRES TO
BE RECLAIMED
North Canal Company
Signs Contract for 32
Second Feet.
Complete reclamation of 2S00
acres out ot n 3500-acre tract Is pro
vided for in n contract signed by tho
Crook County Improvement district,
formerly tho Lone Plno Irrigation
district, and the North Canal Co.
Tho land lies immediately north ot
Crooked river, near Terrebonne
Under tho terms of the contract the
district purchases 32 second feet of
water, measured at Crooked river
and u completed Irrigation system,
which provides for delivery to each
-10-ucro tract. Construction is to be
gin September 1.
Tho cost Is to be $75 per aero irri
gated, payable in bonds at par. tho
company to assume and pay certain
legal and engineering expenses, In
curred by tho district.
As there are other lautls In the dis
trict, the lieu, whon distributed, will,
bo about $515 per acre. '
WOOL GOES BY RAIL
TO EASTERN MARKET
Cf 19 carloads ot wool, amounting
to approximately 532,000 pounds,;
shipped from Central Oregon, only
four cars have gono to Portland, tha
others being billed cast, according to
J. T. Hardy, S. P, & S. truvollng
freight und passenger agent. The
rata was reduced on Juno C so that
tho rail and bout rato to eastoru
points Is practically Identical, says
Hardy, so that a tendency to return
to rail slilpmont Is noticeable.
Central Oregon still . has about
200,000 pounds of wool to ship.
Part ot It la in the Paulina country

That the old plans for Central
Oregon railroad development, shelved
lor years, aro ine one wnicn win oe
followed In case the Union Pacific Is
assured that It will be given entrance
Into the Western Oregon territory, i
clearly stated In a telegram received
Monday morning by The Uulletln
from Carl Cray, president of the sys
tem,' In reply to a query as to the
possibility of a direct connection
from Dend to Crane.
President Gray's reply, sent from
Salt Lako City, reveals the Union Pa
c I He's Intention to build from Na
jrpu.to Ontario, and to connect Bend
.with, this road by construction of a
hltte from Bend to Odell.
TraXflc Must He Assured
He wires as follows:
"The program for railroad con
struction In Central and Eastern Ore
gon formulated during the Union Pa
cific control of the Southern Pacific
Is woll known. It Involved construc
tion of a line from Natron to Ontario
with Deschutes and Klamath lines
connecting at Odell, our heavy and
expensive construction from Ontario
west, Natron south, and Klamath
Falls north was stopped soon after
we lost control ot (he Southern Pa
cific. The line across' the state can
nit be sustained without the heavy
eastbouud traffic originating In West
ern Oregon and we cannot build it
without available traffic to sustain Its
maintenance and operation. As a
matter of fact. If the Union Pacific
'irero inclined to proceed with Im-
provementa and construction without
adequate traffic in sight, the trans
portation act would not permit tho
building of a line without sufficient
traffic to pay the fixed charges and
operating expenses.
Odell Plnnnetl as Center
. Our good faith In the program re
.forred to is reflected by the invest
ment that we made, and our Inter
est in Central, Eastern and Southern
Oregon has not diminished, but we
will not mislead and cannot commit
ourselves to construction until wo
know where the traffic Is coming
Jrp.m to support and operate the line.
Whit we may be able to do to carry
ouf 'our original program and build
from Bend to Odell and from Natron
loVOntarlo, depends upon the out
come of the Central Pacific-Southern
Pacific case and the relation ot tho
Urjlon Pacific with respect to the
Western Oregon traffic which It en
Joyed when its plan of development
was made. Regret that we cannot
miike definite assurance, but we do
c'dt consider It proper to do so until
we know to what extent it at all
,jj may be admitted into the Western
Crogon territory."
SECOND CUTTING OF
: ALFALFA DUE SOON
Although tho first cutting of alf
alfa on the H. J. Suttong ranch near
Beiui la not jot all In tho stack, tho
second crop is already well on the
way to maturity with a Btand of 10
Inches, Mrs. Suttong reported whllo
In 'Betid. By tho time the first cut
ting is put up, the second will be
ready to cut, sho said. She attributes
this unusually rapid growth to tho
fact that irrigation was continued
right through the heavy Juno rains,
while many other farmers wore al
lowing naturo to do it all.
FIRST CARLOAD OF

Tho first carload ot lambs for tho
