TIE PROPOSED FREE Road.
Practical Route Viewed Out Across Des-
chutes Leading to Prineville.

County Surveyor Colt has returned
from making preliminary survey OF
the proposed free road leading from
Dufur across Deschutes and on to the
Crook county line. The main obstacle
TO be overcome on this route is getting
across Deschutss canyon, and by Mr..
Colts survey it is demonstrated that
This will be no difficult matter. The
point of crossing Deschutes is at the
Did Maupin ferry, six miles above the
mouth OF White river, and this can
De reached by easy grades on either
side. The grade that will have 70 be
built to reach the river from the west
is only three miles while that from the
east is but two, and the heaviest rise
will be but little over foot to the rod.
There is little rock on the proposed
route on either side of the river, so
most of the grades can be made with
plows and the road machines which
the county owns.
The heaviest expense will be the
construction of bridge across the
river, but Mr.. Colt estimate the entire
cost OF the road and bridge will not be
more than $500. What portion OF
this sum the county court will be asked
to contribute is not yet Determined, but |
the amount will be comparatively |
light, since 1t is expected that the
people OF Prineville will contribute
literally, as the route will give them
free road to market, besides the people
about Dufur are very much interested
in the building of the road, and will do
their share, while the business men
of The Dalles will also contribute
From the top of the hill on the east
side of the Deschutes to the Crook
county line the route passes over a
level country, and the
cost of building the road through
that section will be nominal.
Messrs. ]. w. Howard and D. F.
Stewart, two prominent Prineville
had an interview with Mr..
Colt Tuesday with reference to the
new road, and were very
a avorably impressed with the idea,
'ince it will shorten the route between
The Dalles and Prineyille, and will
void the paying of two tolls by the
orineville freighters. which is an an .
lual expense of nearly $4,000.

IT KILLS THE HOPPERs.
Successful Experiments With the Poisoned
Bran Grasshopper Exterminator.

successful Experiments With the Poisoned
Bran Grasshopper Exterminator.
This season grasshoppers have been
making serious inroads In DR.. Sanders
orchard on Three-Mile, and the doctor
has been experimenting with the hran,
arsenic and sugar remedy recon-
mended by the department of agricul.
ture, meeting with good SUCCESS. Yes
terday Messrs. E. Schanno and E. K.
Russell visited DR.. Sanders orchard
to witness the effect the poison was
having on the hoppers, and fonnd on
the ground where it had been put out,
thousands of dead insects. They had
eaten the bran freely, and every one
that had eaten appeared to have died.
The poison had been distributed in
small quantities about the roots of the
fruit trees, and as the hoppers have a
keen appetite for bran they took to it
readily. 1t was noticeable that the
number of grasshoppers in the orchard
had been materially decreased since
the poison was put out, those that had
not been killed, apparently having
become alarmed at the fate OF their
fellows and migrated.
Messrs. Robert Cooper and Samuel
Creighton have also been experiment.
ing with the poison in their orchards.
and have met with good success.
Mr.. Schanno suggests that the
remedy be applied in all orchards
where hoppers are numerous. believ-
ing it will soon destroy the pest. He
advises that teaspoonful be placed on
q. chip or piece of pasteboard at the
root Of each tree. Care should be
taken however to keep poultry and
stock out of the orchards where the
remedy is being used, for arsenic is
powerful poison, very little of it being
required to cause the death of either
fowls or animals.

Decided A. P. A. Victory in
House of Representatives
FIGHT LED BY LINTON OF MICHIGAN
Significant Vote in the Senate on the
Resolution for an Investigation
of the Bond Issues.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The house to-
day in committee of the whole, after a
very interesting debate, by vote of SO
to "a, decided that none of the appro-
priations in the Indian appropriation bill
for Indian Schools should go to the sec
tartan schools. The only sectarian
schools to which money now goes are
Roman Catholic in denomination, and
and the fight today was led by Linton, a
Michigan Republican, who is the most
pronounced and openly avowed A. P. A.
on the floor.
In last years bill the appropriation
was cut down % per cent, with the un-
derstanding that it should be reduced 20
per cent each year uutil it ceased, at the
end of five years. The committee on In
dian affairs this year resolved that this
appropriation be reduced 20 per cent, but
Linton moved an amendment that no
portion of this appropriation should GO
to sectarian schools. In his speech in
support of it, he attribute the defeat of
many members two years ago to their
refusal to abolish .sectarian schools, and
PAN0ANSNN NASNoNSA w OiAOSO WIZ cIAAA
stood out against their abolition. He
also referred Indignantly to statue of
Jesuit priest and decorated with the
paraphernalia of his church, which soon
is to be erected in statuary hall, in the
presence of the high dignitaries of tt e
Catholic church.
In the debate which followed, Cooper
(republican, of Wisconsin), Watson (re-
publican, of Ohio), HaIner Republican,
of Nebraska), McLachlan republican, of
California;, and Grosvenor (republican,
of Ohio) supported the amendment,
while Eddy (republican, of Minnesota),
Gamble Republican, of South Dakota),
Walsh democrat, of New York;, and
Sherman (of Ohio, argued in favor of
carrying out the policy of reducing the
appropriations by 20 per cent per year.
The latter recalled that General Grant
had proposed the system, and that for %
years congress had encouraged the
churches to carry on their educational
work among the Indians.
The Indian appropriation bill was
completed today, save for single para
graph.

machetes. The reports are that the in
surgents carried away many wounded.
Generals Aldecoa and Linares and
Colonel Hernandez met in the night,
after passing the river Ppedega, the
band of Maceo Ietreating after having
been defeated by Colonel Hernandez.
The engagement lasted an hour, and six
of the enemy were killed. The troops
arrived at Catalinalate in the night with
two men wounded.
Knowing by report of spy that the
enemy was at the plantation Elegato,
Colonel Fort went to meet them. About
21a miles from the plantation strong
groups of the enemy began firing with
the intention of deceiving the govern
ment troops, but Colonel Fort pursued
his way to the plantation and was met
by the fire of the enemy, who were in
trenched in a strong position, formed in
half circles, according to their usual tao
tics. The troops dislodged them from
the sides by the fire of the artillery, the
center being taken by the infantry.
The enemy made a final stand in the
ruins of the hut, where they were
stormed by the troops of the Peoniero
regiment and two companies of the YER
aqua battalion. The losses of the enemy
were 10 killed on the field and about
80 carried away. Many were wounded.
The bands engaged by the government
columns were those of Maceo, Trayas,
Parras, Cardenas and Calmuga, united
with force of about 1000 to 5000. The
enemy tried to make last stand, but
were dispersed, the principal groups re-
treating toward the Esperanza hills.
The government casualties were one
captain and six soldiers dangerously
wounded and SIX others more or less
wounded.
A civilian carried by force by the in
surgents to serve as guide, said when he
returned that the insurgents are disabled
and discouraged in consequence of the
constant prosecution; that they carried
away more than 200 wounded, and rend-
cred full justice to the courage of the
troops. The guide said they were en-
gagged in running match.

No use For Corbett,

LONDON, Feb. 24.-Manager Fleming,
of the National Sporting Club. said that
under no circumstances..wou they sub.
scribe cent for contest in which Cor
bett was one of the principals, but, it
was added, any other American pugilist
might apply with fair prospects of ar
ranging match. The objection to Cor
bett is based on the bitter tongue-lashing
he gave theNational. Sporting Club when
he returned to the United States after
his appearance here.
Secretary Stevens, of Bolingbroke
Club, SAID they would give purse of
$4,000 for Fitzsimmons and Corbett to
compete for and allow the contestants
$500 each for expenses. Should Fitz-
simmons fail to accept promptly, Frank
Slavin stands ready to meet Corbett be-
fore the Bolingbroke Club.
Slavin has already offered, in Sporting
Life, to met Fitzsimmons for S., 1850 a
side in England or he will bet 5000 he
can stop Corbett in six rounds.
Manager Fleming, of the National
Sporting Club, was surprised when in
formed this evening that the Boiling
broke Club offered purse OF $4,000 for a
contest between Fitzsimmons and Cor
bett. He said that since he announced
the determination Of his club not to put
upsa cent for the contest in which Cor
bett was one of the principals, the mat
ter had been re-considered and the deci-
sion reached, that if Corbett will apollo
gize, the National Sporting Club will
offer purse for match between. him
and Fitzsimmons.
