Two peddlers were arrested al
Burns for having beaver hides in
their possession. They demurred
to the complaint and were dis
charged on the ground that thelaw
did not say anything about hides,
but made it unlawful for per-
son to have beaver in their poss-
ession. The purpose of the law
is not to incite quibbling by law
yers and drivelings by courts,
but prevent the destruction of
beaver. With the course Of rea-
soning pursued, even though a
man was caught red handed skin
ming a beaver he could not be
found guilty because that law
does not say any thing about dead
beaver. If a trapper caught a
beaver that had an eye and a
game warden caught the trapper
there would be nothing stirring
because the law does not say any
thing about having one eyed
beaver in possession, or again a
man could set up the defense Of
sick beaver and as the law does
not say anything about sick bea-
yer there would be no crime com
mitted. And by analogy if the
law made it a crime to have the
hide in possession all a trapper
would have to do would be to
tuck the whole carcass under his
arm and he could not be convict
ed because the law did not have
anything to say about beavers
with the hides on. No wonder it
takes three years to get through
a law school. Blue Mt. Eagle.

The Blue Mt. Eagle insists il
is not knocking Harvey county
but merely stating facts not only
of this section but all over East
ern and Central Oregon when il
refers to the big land holdings.
We admit the big land men and
that they have the best watered
area throughout the territory,
but not all the most desirable
land by any means. These hold
ings will have to be cut up and
the men who hold them are not
averse to have them so disposed
of. With the coming of trans
portation will come greater de-
velopment, irrigation projects
that will properly distribute the
water, thus covering a much
larger area.

MASONIC INSTALLATION

The usual joint installation of
officers by the Masons and East
ern Star was held at their hall
last Wednesday evening and
proved a very enjoyable affair.
Only Masons and their wives and
Eastern Stars and their husbands
were present, making it a nice
sized crowd of congenial COM
pany numbering about seventy.
Mrs. Julian Byrd was installing
officer for the Star with Mrs. w.
L. Marsden as marshal. The
officers installed were: frankie

been confined and the accellerat-
ed process made a success IN
many sewage disposal plants,
large and small Failures are
only examples of poor design or
the imposition of abnormal con-
ditions. "
The report further states re
specting the disposal of sewage
or location of the tank:
4 LAS the fall from the south
east portion of Burns to the
river is slight, we have provided
Z for a pumping plant to raise the
sewage from the dosing tank to a
level with the filters. a lift of SIX
to ten feet, with a view of plac-
ling filters out of reach of high
water. An inundation occasion
ally will not damage the filters,
but a flood of considerable dura-
tion would tend to clog the beds,
and to destroy the bacteria.
Another reason for raising the
sewage is to avoid a submerged
outlet. "
In closing the report the engi-
Ineers state they have a great
deal of correspondence of file
which covers almost every item
in the report and that this eorre-
spondence is open to inspection
by the city authorities at any
time.

SECOND VICTIM DIES.

Robt. Settlemyre died at the
Carlson ranch, near Andrews,
last Tuesday morning from the
bullet fired by Jack Taylor on
Thursday of last week which
killed Alfred II. Perry.
Sheriff Richardson left here
on Tuesday morning to bring
Taylor here, the latter having
gone to DEMO after the shooting
and submitted 10 arrest, later
returning to the Carlson ranch
in company with Justice O'Con-
nor and V. Defenbaugh, the con-
stable. Later the prisoner was
turned over TO Deputy Sheriff
Moore who held him until the ar
rival of the sheriff. Mr.. Rich
ardson arrived home with the
prisoner yesterday evening. He

WOULD HELP ALL AROUND.

1t would be a great thing if
Portland business men could
reach by letter their customers
in the Harvey Valley and along
the route from Bend to Burns
within twenty-four hours. This
will come with the completion Of
the cross-state railway. 1t may
come before then. An effort is
now in progress to establish a
daily mail service between Bend
and Burns and the ambition at
each terminus and along the
route is TO make it an auto ser
vice. The Importance of the
plan rests not altogether in the
immediate advantages that would
accrue to present settlers and
distributors Of merchandise. A
daily mail service would be a
strong incentive toward rapid
settlement along this $50 miles
of almost undeveloped country.
Its ultimate result would be in
creased business, greater produc-
ton and these in turn would
hasten railroad building. Any
influence that Portland and its
commercial bodies can give TO
bring about this mail service
would be we'll worth their while.

cRrPTIoN RATES

The Times-Herald hopes the
proposition Of water works and
sewerage will command the at
tention of the property owners OF
Burns and that immediate steps
be taken toward the new charter
with provision for bonding for
such purpose. The report of
Engineers Cooper & Dodge is
now before them and is compre-
hensive with a great deal Of cor
respondence that viii bear out
their estimates as well as show
what systems have proven most
satisfactory. Let's get busy.

was accompanied on the trip by
Lee Finch and states they had
some trouble with deep snow
over the mountain but aside from
that the auto skipped right
along.
DR.. Marsden returned from the
scene Monday evening and
brought the first authentic re
port of the shooting. Taylor and
Perry had been working together
sinking artesian wells for Mr..
Carlson. Mr.. Taylor is an eX-
perienced man at the business
and it seems Perry had been Sug-
gesting that the methods be
changed or a well sunk at a diff
ferent place, at any rate the
shooting was in the evening
after they had quit work. Taylor
coming into the room remarking
that he did not approve Of men
without experience giving him
instructions. Perry at once took
it up and Lou Bosenburg, who is
cooking at the ranch. entered
into the conversation saying that
Perry had not been giving Tay-
a square deal. Perry became
very angry and told them he
could whip a house full Of Bosen-
bergs and Taylors. He kept up
his abuse and followed Bosen-
berg around to the kitchen, la
ter returning and taking up the
quarrel with Taylor who was on
a bed in a corner Of the room.
Perry kept advancing toward
Taylor who warned him to keep
away or he would hurt him, but
as he continued advancing in a
threatening manner Taylor shot
him with a 45-caliber revolver,
the bullet passing through him
and entered Robt. Settlemyre
who was sitting on the other
side of the fire place. Perry lived
for eleven hours after he was
shot. He was a powerful man
about twenty-five years old and
had the reputation of being a
fighter. Taylor is a man sixty
years old.
As stated in our last issue, Mr..
Settlemyre was an innocent party
stopping there for the night,
having a blooded horse which he
hoped to dispose of. DR.. Mars
den found Mr.. Settlemyre in a
bad condition and held out but
little hopes for his recovery. He
was buried there. Deceased had
relatives in Kansas.
Taylor has not yet had a pre-
liminary hearing as Justice
O'Connor was called to Winnie
mucca as a witness IN another
murder case that had occurred
just over the line in Nevada.
The Andrews shooting was wit
messed by Mr.. Carlson and Geo.
Sebring. Rosenberg being in the
house but not an eye witness.
These will be brought TO Burns
perhaps next week when a hear
will be had.

The report recommends the
septic tank system in preference
to the broad irrigation. these be-
ing the only practical manner
of disposal of sewage, as Sill

of disposal by diluton could not
be used for such purpose.
The description of the septic
tank system is interesting and

The estimate is made covering a
tank IS feet long. 80 feet wide
and 5 feet deep, built of concrete
with concrete partition dividing
into two compartments, one for
septic tank and one for dosing
chamber, the entire plant includ-
ing filter beds to cover an area
of not more than one and one-halt
acres and the cost is estimated
at $35, 47S.S7.
In describing the septic tank
and liberation process the report
says in part:
Under this method the sew.

practically liquid form. The
dosing tank is provided with a

system of sub-drains.
