The object of the organization is to irrigate, by water taken from the Hilvies river, flowing through Har ney county, large tract of semi-arid land known throughout Eastern Oregon as the.

The land is divided into three classes, that owned by the Willam ette Valley & Cascade Mountain Military Wagon Road, obtained from tho original land grant; land owned, by the state and land al ready owned by the individuals. The former comprises about 30,000 acres. ' There is adequate water in Silv ieg river for the purposes of extend ing irrigation, and a considerable fall which, with the stream's favor able location above the land to be reclaimed, permits of the eimple and practical gravitation. The com pany has made applications for Use in the neighborhood of 300,000 inches of water at the present time, which rights are perpetual while use of the water for the purpose maintained is continued. The main canal will be 75 feet wide at the bottom and 47 miles in length. Three main lateralsof prac tically the same size are to be con structed, and from these large dithes water will be carried over a broad e stent of territory. The land to he affected by this big system of irriga tion drain it to Malheur and Harn ey Lake?, large inland seas of South ern Oregon.

The firm of Miller & Lux, cattle Kings of California and Oregon, own 14,530,000 acres of land, nearly all of it unimproved and used for grazing,' says tho Lake County Examiner. The vast area held by this firm is not conceivable to one who has not traveled through the State. It is equal to the area of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut together. It is half the size of New York and three times the size of New Jersey. It is about the size of West Virgina an eight the area of California. It is as large as Greece, four times the size of Aisaca and Lor-rann-nd but little smaller than Ireland and one third the size of England . and Wales together. There is only one thing that Henry Miller,' the surviving member of of the firm of Miller & Lux b ccome iiervoi'.3 over, and that is the dls cussion of the size of his holdings.
