volume of the Deschutes.

Cyrus G. Babb. United States general
inspector of the photographic surveys
for the district west of the Mississippi,
says the Deschutes river contains the
largest volume of water, for the area
drained by it, of any river of what is
known as the arid, or semi arid region.
While on the way to Prineville he meas
ured the discharge of water at the Des-
chutes ferry, near the agency, and found
it to be 445o cubic feet per second. This
volume of water is, s,su6ieient to irrigate
445,o00 acres, or 100 acres for every
cubic foot.
Mr.. Babb gave the following measure
ments of discharge of the Deschutes at
various important places, and also those
of six of it's tributaries:

There was another good Indian in
town today. Old Lucy, one of the
squaws who for number of years work.
ed around town, and who resided near
Seufert's, passed away yesterday, a vic
tim OF consumption. Today her friends
gave her her last ride down the river to
the ferry landing, and then loaded the
remains into an express wagon which
\served as hearse and carriage for the
chief mourners, ,and took it to the place of
interment.
An outfit came into Long Greek, Or,
ihe other day that attracted more than
ordinary attention. 1t consisted of an
enormous freight wagon with trail,
drawn by eight milk W hite horses, high
ly groomed and plumed. Over the
names of each horse in the lead team
was placed an arch, covered with buffalo
or bear skin, and underneath hung a
chime of bells that iingled merrily while
the horses were in motion. The outfit
belonged to freighter from Mount Yer
non, who came over after load of -four.
Club wheat was selling at the ware
house yesterday at 20 cents, while some
of the Klickitat farmers claim to have re-
ceived as high as IS cents tor blue stem
which is superior to the club. The string
of teams instead of decreasing seems to
increase daily, and it Is a ques-
tion in the minds of many as to whether
or not they will get all the hauling done
before snow falls. Sam Wilkison is
building new warehouse near that OF
lPease & Mays, which he will have c9m-
HpIefed in time for the spring crop OF

An Open Letter.

Last week the KEYSTONE stated
that complaints were made abou,
the fencing in of portion of the
road near Gimlet. The KEYSTONE,
by request, published the item as
it was represented to its reporter
Now comes Mr.. Let1ang with card

and defies the alligator" by offering
to wager on the proposition of dis
lance. Following is Mr.. Lefang' IS
statement, which we take pleasure
in publishing:
EDITOR KEYsToNE-Dear Sir: I see in
your paper of May 18th that some of your
readers object to my fencing in q piece
of land at Gimlet, and as a newspaper is
something like court, where both sides
of q case can be heard, thought You
would kindly let me have my say, too.
The statement, that this fencing made
the road about one mile longer, shows
just how near your complainants can
come TO the truth--a whole mile off.
BY actual measurement the new road
is shorter than the old road, a fact which
any one with two eyes can easily see, il
they want to. And to show my good
faith in the matter, offer to put up IS.
let the other parties do the same, get q
surveyor to measure it exactly and let the
liar-be he nae or that other fellow-pay
the fiddler. l think that is fair enough /.
I have in this matter tried to act strict
ly according to law, and l am sure any
fair minded and unprejudiced man will
see that have not infringed any more on
the public's right than could possibly be
helped.
l am an old man; the SHOWS of 70 win
tiers have made my hair white; l do not
hunt around for quarrels. All want is,
that the people will leave me and my

BIG MINING DEAL,
Sale of the Peacock and White Noun.
tain Claims at Seven Devils,
Absolutely Pure.

A big deal has just been closed
in the Seven Devils country by
which some leading New York gen
t!emen have acquired the Peacock
Farm and White Mountain claims
and other properties, the considera.
ton being nearly 100000.
Elk Governor Hauser of Montana
was one of the original owners oil
the properties sold, having held
them 20 years. The governor was
therefore large beneficiary by rea-
son Of the deal but be was averse
to giving out much regarding the
sale.

stopping in the city, that we have
sold the Peacock Farm and other big
copper properties to New York syn
dictate, including Governor Black
Chief Justice Pemberton, Mr.. Ak
ems, wholesale jeweler, and MIR.
Blake of New York, and ex-Mayor
Edison of New York. The papers
closing the deal reached me in Hell
ena just before | came west. A.
to the consideration, l am not at
liberty to mention figures, but it is
an extensive property. The new
company has been capitalized at
$4,000, 900, and l understand that
a great amount of capital will be
invested in preparing to work the
properties. All that has been lack
ing for years to make that a great
camp has been transportation. My
understanding is that the company
will build road in from Weiser.
about 80 miles, and that the fur
naces for smelter have already
been ordered"
The properties in question have
had little development work done
on them, but there are such extern
sive groupings in sight that prelim-
mary work to show that a great
property was there ready for CAPT
tai to realize upon has not been
necessary. Ex-Governor Hauser
has every confidence in the future OF
the property, as we'll as in the fac,
that work will be pushed and the
mines operated.-Spokane Spokes

The Kensler Murder Case.

The Mountain Home Bulletin oil
the 10Th inst. says:
At 10 O'Clock Tuesday morning
Alfred Freel was brought into
court and for the second time ar
raigned for trial for the murder OF
John Kensler last October, at King
Hill creek, six miles east of Glenn's
Ferry. District Attorney Rogers
and Hon. N. NJ. Ruick appeared for
the State and Hons. Vic Bierbower
and E.. M. Wolfe for defense. The
information charging defendant, to-
gether with Josie Kensler, with the
willful murder of John Kensler,
Oct. II, 1896, at King Hill creek in
Gilmore county, State of Idaho, was
read by the District Attorney, when
E. M. Wolfe. of counsel for Freel,
objected to the information on the
ground that the preliminary exam
ination before Justice Sinnott was
not conducted according to law.
Court overruled objection and Mr..
Wolfe then demurred to informa-
ton for the reason that Josie Kens-
Ter was, with defendant, held to
answer the same charge by the said
Justice and she is not now arraigned
in court. Judge Stockslager over
ruled the demurrer and called on
defendant to plead.
Freel arose and in a clear voice
said Il am not guilty of the MUIR
der of John Kensler."
The selection of jury was then
commenced. After a great many
challenges for cause, bias and per-
emptory, eleven jurors were chosen
from the venire.
The venire being exhausted, his
honor ordered the sheriff to sum-
mons a juror from among the by
ISLANDERS, and G. E. Andreas of Pine
Grove was called and accepted. The
last juror completed the list and
the panel was filled at 10 O'Clock
