A Mystery UnSOIVable.

John and Albert Stacey took an
outing a couple of weeks, ago and Wis
tied among other places the divide
between Indian Valley and Long Val
ley. This is known as the "Burnt
Wagon" district, and contains the rem
nants of one Of the strange things
found by the earliest settlers of this
section. There was found, in a spot
apparently inaccessible, a wagon
How it got there, and how long ago,
is mystery that perhaps will never
be solved. When seen by the first
corners it was very Old, and no sign
existed of any trail by which it could
have been taken there. Relic hunters
have carried away most of the pieces,
but some still remain. The hubs are
there, also the irons on which the bed
rested, and Others parts. tits about
24-inch wagon. If Washington
county ever has museum the remains
of this old vehicle chould have ar
honored place.

and on account of disagreement
among the heirs the estate has been
held in trust at Germantown and at
Berlin Mr. Emerick's father
moved to Jacksonville, ILL.,, and
reared family of nine children,
most of whom are living there yet.
These children were in ignorance
of the existence of the i'm
mense fortune that was awaiting dis
tribution, and were made aware of
the facts only about year ago by
A. f. Thompson, an attorney of
Centerville, Ia, who is working on
the case Mr.. limerick is satisfied
that his attorney is all right, as that
gentleman is doing the work at his
own expense. His many friends in
Weiser are delighted over his good
fortune. Some important papers
relating to the hershlp were sent tc
Mr.. Emmerick this week for sigma
ture.

Surveying Sites.
Statesman.


State Engineer Ross said yesterday
that parties from the Weiser valley
were sending inquiries about storage
reservoirs and that they very much
desired that something be done. He
said that if the farmers of the Wei
ser valley would organize he thought
something might be done for them.
He thought the next surveying
party sent out to make surveys for
the determining of practical reser-
voir sites would, probably be sent to
the Weiser valley. Mr.. Ross stated
further that the entire Snake river
valley and its more important tribu
taries would be surveyed for reser
voir sites and those districts which
take an interest in the matter and or
ganized 80 that they had a represent
alive to deal with would be the frs
ones served.

Cummings to work in conjunction
with the city engineer in securing
the most efficient plant possible for
the least money. The attorney was
instructed to draw up contract with
Mr.. Cummings
The use of the island at the foot
of second street for an infiltration
station was brought up and as there
was some question as to where the
title rested the clerk was instructed
to request the city attorney to look
up the title.
The matter of new bridge across
Monroe creek on Main Street was
discussed The present bridge is
unserviceable and it was decided
that new bridge "a feet wide was
the thing needed. The city engi
neer was asked to prepare plans and
specifications.
An adjournment was taken until
Monday.
At the Monday meeting the con-
tract with Mr.. Cummings was read
and signed.
Mr.. Cummings, who was present,
incidentally stated that levels had
been taken which showed the reser-
voir site above the Academy to be
300 feet higher than the city and
therefore impractlcable, as every
foot Of elevation above 200 feet
would be waste pressure and would
be continual and unnecessary ex-
pense in the operation of the plant,
owing to the extra cost of pumping.
A splendid site had been found on
the hill back of the courthouse, at
an elevation of 100 feet Mr.. G..
was inclined to favor this site as the
mains coming through the old town,
which must be supplied under any
plan, would cut down the quantity of
large pipe to be used, and a four
inch pipe would be run from this
main to the Academy, giving good
service on the hill, and still reduce
the cost of the plant in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 over the Acad-
emy site.

members called on by Fred Brock
man, the president Together with
that of the president of the union,
all the addresses were remarkably
good and to the point. 1t was, in a
word, very excellent meeting. But
while the meeting progressed most
har moniously within, outside some
thoughtless children or weakminded
youngmen, were playing with the nuts
of some wagons; and incapable Of
realizing that they were putting in
danger the limbs and perhaps the
lives of many young people, they re-
moved some nuts entirely, while
Others, who perhaps had never seen
a bicycle, ignorantly endangered the
lives of the riders by loosening nuts
and bolts. Happily, so far as known,
no accidents resulted, even though
one of the wagons was trotted back
to Weser with a load of some Is
young people, without knowing that
the nuts Of the two back wheels ha6
been removed.

Penitentiary OfenSe.

1t is not likely that the persons
who removed the nuts from the
wagon and bicycles at the union
meeting at the @. K. Chapel Friday
evening, realized the great danger to
which those young people were sub
jected, Had an accident resulted the
guilty ones would have been liable
for all damages, and had any one
been manned or killed the offense
would have been punishable by i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary. 1t
is charitable to suppose that the
offence was committed by small
children or some half-witted person.

Vale Gazette
The Artersian Springs Water and
Land Company is the name of COR
poration which will be the means of
providing homes for hundreds of
people, and cause thousands of dol
lars worth of property to be added
to the assessment roll of Malheur
county.
About four years ago Mr.. s. j.
Srark and Sons began the construction
of a system of reservoirs about 10
miles above Vale for the purpose of
storing the hood waters of Willow
creek. These gentlemen soon dis
covered that the enterprise was too
large for private individuals to
handle successfully, so in January,
1901, formed the corporation above
named.
From the beginning, four years
ago, the Stsrks and the company
has together expended about $1,000 in
construction work, which has re-
suited in building supply ditch L
miles long, 4 feet deep and so feet
wide, and two dams at Spring Cove,
one of which is 400 feet long, 10
feet high, and go feet wide at the
bottom, and the other $50 feet long
and twelve feet high. When each of
these dams is completed to Is feet
in height, and the supply ditch con-
structed II miles more, which work
will be done this fall, the reservoir
will have capacity of 500 acres of
water, 10 feet deep, and it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that this amount of
water will be stored during the com
ing winter, and the water used for
irrigating purposes next year The
company has already contracted to
supply water for about 1000 acres
for next year, about 1000 acres of
which ls along Willow creek and
Malheur river, and 1000 acres on
Dead Ok Flat.
Iti is estimated that 1000 acres
on Dead Ok Flat and $4,000 acres
near Vale, on Willow creek and the
Malheur river, can be irrigated from
the reservoirs now in course of con-
J structioD, and the other reservoirs
which will be built adjacent thereto.

A. f. HIT left Tues day for upper
Mann creek to join his family. They
have been camping there and the
party will remain some time yet.
The country about HIT and Mann
creeks is not new to Mr. HIT.
From IA to '79 he ran a saw mill
there and supplied lumber for many
Of the early buildings along Mann
creek and the Weiser. Portions Of
the mill still stand at the old site on
Hit creek, about one-fourth of a
mile above the foot of the grade.
During the Indian excitement of '78
when the Bannocks were on the war
path, he was at the sawmill month
with his family. when settlers dared
not travel the road from the settle
ment to the mill. During the day
he worked with his rifle within
reach. Mornings he did not venture
from the cabin until after about an
hours careful scrutiny of the sur
rounding country where redskins
might be in hiding. 1t was during
this outbreak that Mr.. Hit and Jos.
Campbell made trip through Crane
creek canyon in search of Indians.
A scouting party of five men had
traced Indians to the mouth of the
canyon, and then rode around to the
upper end. AS there was no indica-
tions that they had come out Hit

the canyon, intending to meet

them at It's mouth. They were
perhaps the first white men to pass
through that ten miles of the rough
est country in Idaho. Not only were
they expecting to run into the camp
of hostiles at every turn but were ex-
posed to equal danger In travelling
down that precipitious canyon. They
found plenty of Indian sign but no
Indians. The trip was SO arduous
and tedious that night overlook
them and they spent its chilly hours
without fire or blankets. 1t was
two O'Clock the following day when
they emerged into the open country.
At another time large band of In.
dians were driven into the canyon
and twenty settlers searched it from
end to end, finding plenty of Indian
signs but the redskins were not to be
found. Where they disappeared to
is still mystery, but it ls thought
that cavern must have been their
hiding place The danger and priva-
tions endured by the early inhabi-
tants along the Weiser were many,
and to listen to the thrilling incl
dents of those days is highly
interesting We have pioneers here
in our midst that went through ex-
perlences just as trying as those
of the Pilgrim Fathers of New Eng
land or the early settlers at James
town. They should have an associa-
ton of some kind TO keep alive the
memories of early days along the
Weiser.

City Attorney Threatened to Resign
but RecOnsidered.
NEW MAIN STREET BRIDGE
Fine wide Structure VIII Be Constructed as
Soon as Possible.

The city council held meeting
Friday evening to map out proceed
ings under the coming bond issue.
There was quite an interesting time
arising out of the proposal to en-
ploy Mr.. Cummings, the Seattle en-
gineer, to prepare the plans for the
water works and superintend their
construction for the city. 1t sll
\arose out of misunderstanding, as
proven by the outcome, and was of
course perfectly natural. Nothing
was said or done however that re-
flected on anyone in the slightest
degree :.
When the matter of employing the
Seattle man came up city engineer
Luck desired to know what he was
city engineer for if it was not to look
after the citys interest in engineering
matters. He intimated that it was
not right to 60 away from home the
first time there was piece of work
where the engineer had an opportun
ity to earn a substantial fee out of
his office.
The city attorney cited the statute
governing the duties Of city engineer
to the effect that said official had
charge of all engineering work for
the city.
Mayor Kelly stated that he had
reliable advice on the powers of the
city to 60 beyond the city engineer
for special talent where the city in
terests seemed to require it.
ssIs the city in the habit of getting
its advice elsewhere?" asked the
attorney.
The Mayor stated something that
Attorney Feltham construed as ad-
mittlng euch to be the case.
"Then TIL resign"
And the city advisor intimated
that he was apparently useless ad-
junct. However explanations soon
cleared everything up and it was
made clear that there was no desire to
discredit the ability of the city en-
gineer in giving Mr.. Cummings 8
hearing, That it was simply deemed
wise to consider his offer and that the
employment of hydraulic engineer
who had long experience in tha
special line would undoubtedly be al
advantage and save money to thu
city. 1t was stated that the town o1
Caldwell had good city engines
and had wasted $500 getting started
and that there had been no clasl
there in employing Mr.. Cummings
and that Caldwell people admitted
they had saved s25OO by employing
him.
The council adjourned and me
again the following evening, whel
Mr.. Luck, the city engineer, ap
peared and stated that if the council
desired to retain Mr.. Cummings d
constructing engineer, have him pre-
pare the plans and take advantag
OF his experience, he (Mr. Lucky hat
