The three-year homeatead bill, which

Cue Schlagel last week returned from

to look after bia minlrg interests. He
stated that the shaft in tbe Jumbo
Chief was down to a depth of lb3 feet
and contract baa recently been let to
Frank Murphy, a Colorado mining man,
to alnk 24 feet deeper. He also aaid tbe
prospect waa very good and the pro
moters ot thia property have everv rea
son to believe that the Jumbo will te
developed into a good paying mine.
There ia estimsted to be between 900
and 1000 tons of ore on tbe dump, all
of which ia free milling, and by the
time tbe additional 24 feet ia complet
ed, tbe advisability of Installing a

company.

CIRCUIT COURT-SESSION
JURY SUBMITTED REPORT AFTER
CAREFUL INVESTIGATION
Geo. M. Bailey, president of tbe
Northwest townsite.Uompany, of Min
neapolis, waa in Lakeview thia week.
Mr. Bailev'a company baa taken over
what Is known sa tbe Portland Irriga
tion project at Paiaey, aa well aa tbe
George Coon holding at that place,
and It was on business connected with
the closing of tbe deal lor tbe latter
property that cauaed Mr. Bailey's visit
at thia time.
While here Mr. Bailey made known
tbe fact that work would commence on
the dam for tbe reservoir as soon as
it waa practicable to haul in auppliea
to the Upper Cbewaucan, which ia not
likely to be before July 1. No work
will be done on tbe main eanala and
laterala until the asm is well under
wsy, which may possibly be not before
1914, aa tbe dam will be a very extcn
aive piece of work. ' K. A. Harrower,
the company's chief engineer, has) oeen
examining tbe Drews dam of the local
protect, in order to secure data to be
used in connection with bia work in
building the Chewaucan dam, and it ia
underatood that be ia well pleased with
tbe work of Engineer Rice, of the O. V.
L. Co., who planned and baa charge
of tbe work of building te Drews
dsm.
During bis stay Mr. Bailey express
ed himself aa well pleaaed with the
conditiona attending tbe Paisley pro
tect, and ia confident that bia company
will prosecute tbe work to completion
aa quickly aa possible. Tbe principal
drawback la tbe distance from rail
transportation to tbe dam, which will
make tbe cost of the work much more
expensive than would otherwise be tbe
ease. It ia likely that the auppliea and
material necessary will be taken in by
way of the 7-Up ranch, necessitating a
i wagon haul of not less than 2 miles.

The regular May term of Circuit
Court waa convened Monday morning
by Judge Henry L. Benson, and no
time waa lost in getting down to busi
ness. Tbe Grand Jury waa immediate
ly drawn, and consisted of J. B. Auten,
K. U. Loveless, L. A. Carriker, E. E.
Brewer, J. D. Heryford, J. L. Hamp
ton and Chas. Pitcher. The first in

on a charge of burglary, and when ar
raigned he pleaded guilty wherepon
Judge Benson imposed a sentence of
from two to five yeara in the Peniten
tiary, and then paroled him during
good behavior.
A number of civil cases were then
taken op and disposed of and Wednes
day the Grand Jury made Ita final re
port and also returned two indictmenta
against R. Willis for perjury, one each
gainst Oliver Brant and Moyd Lane,
charging them with assault with a
deadly weaoon, and one against it, F.
Lane, Oliver Brant and Floyd Lane on
charge of assault and batterv.
Mr. Willis waa arraigned thia morn
ing and given until thia afternoon in
which to plead. There ia.a difference of
opinion among attorneya as to whether
the crime charged in the indictment ia
provided for in the Oregon statutes,
and it is likely that the attorneya for
the defense will demurr to the indict
ment, and the matter will be argued
before Judge Benson.
Tbe assault cases are the outcome of
a row between the partiea indicted and
D. J. Dotaon, in which the latter waa
severely injured.
The Grand Jury submitted tbe follow
ing report : '

'Twaa a great day, indeed, and aa a

Tag Day experience in Lakeview, and
every one entered into tbe spirit of tbe
occasion with vim and enertrv both -
pro and eon. The cons won out in every
instance, for whenever an effort was
made to evade being tagged it proved
bollv unsuccessful. It was a caae of
being "Johnny - on - tbe - Spot," with
Mrs. H. O. Kubl in the title role, al
though ber efforts were ably seconded
by many other members rf the associa
tion. Mra. Kuhl chose Hotel Lakeview
as the scene of ber test and earliest
efforts, and thoae who were early at
breakfast were more or lees surprised
to be tagged before they were aware
that tbe game waa on. Shortly after
6 o'clock did Mrs. Kuhl put in an ap
pearance, and mighty few were they
who escaped. - All dsy long the ladies
pressed their suit, and at nightfall
when they counted their change they
felt well repaid for their efforts.
