Crook County Journal THURSDAVT JUNE 6. 1907. SubecrlpUoe. ft. 50 a jmt. Water on the County Road. Many complaints hare reached the county road master relative to the careleMnee or neglect of ditch owners to properly handle their ditch water. It ii permitted to overflow opon the county roads thus rendering them unfit for u?e. The road master states that these complaints should be filed with the road supervisors of the district and if the abuse is not corrected he will prosecute to the full extent of the law. The last legislature passed an act to regulate the running or seeping or draining of water from irrigation or ditches upon county roads of any counties of the state. Section 1 provides that it shall be the duty of all road supervisors in each road district, in addition to the duties prescribed by law, to ascertain from time to time and know whether or not there is any water running or flowing in or upon any county road within his district, if he finds such overflow he must notify the owner, occupant or user of such irrigation ditch that the flowing of said water must be stopped within six hours after the serving of said notice. If it is not done then the road supervisor and such assistants as he deems necessary must attend to the mat ter. All charges and expenses then become a lien upon the prop erty, n To avoid trouble keep the water off the county roads. Senator Charles W. Fulton is at the Imperial hotel on a visit and will leave for eastern Oregon to meet the people of that part of the state with a view of learning their sentiment on questions having a bearing on conditions in their locality. One subject in particular on which Senator Fulton will sound the residents of the eastern part of the state will be on the proposed release of graxing grounds which is being agitated by leading members of congress.

Continued from page 1. a good price. The market price for alfalfa, the favorite forage plant which yields in three cuttings about six tons to the acre per annum is now $10.00 per ton in the stack. Red clover, timothy, orchard grass and redtop grass are successfully grown and command about the same price. Hops, hemp flax, tobacco, sugar beets, rutabagas, mangelwurzels, potatoes and in fact all root crops do exceptionally well here. In fact so far the new settlers coming in pay good prices for all the surplus raised, such ac from 25 to 60 cents per dozen for eggs, 40 to 50 cents each ior chick ens, potatoes are now 2$ cents per pound, oats $1.10 bushel, etc. Railroad transportation is a thing of months now, not years, for our railroad barons will" com pete with each other for the tonage of this district just the same as they have always done in the past for other newly developed sections. It has been freely predicted by good judges of farm worth in irri gated districts of the west, that Deschutes Valley irrigated farms will bring f 100.UO and more per acre by the time the hrst train arrives to market the surplus raised there. Although very little effort has been made so far to dispose of these lands, the irrigation company having ten years time, according to their contract with the State of Oregon, to reclaim them and com plete their contract-the settlers now living on their lands believe that if a very limited amount of pub licity were given to this part of Oregon it would settle very rapidly ana land would soon double end treble in value. Quite a number of improved larms have changed hands lately. All of these, with one exception, who have sold out have reboueht unimproved places and stayed here which certainly speaks well for the country. Among the transfers since April lBt are JU L. Welch to J. T. Price, of Loveland, Colo., 80 acres, for $3200; John Clay to J. H. Schakell, of Loveland, Colo., 40 acres for $2000. These figures do not represent the real value of Deschutes land. Many farms here cannot be pur chased from their owners for ten times the price that any tract has been sold for so far. These trans fers are mentioned to show that some of the most valuable farming lands in the United States are being sold at prices which are hardly UlieveaWe. There arc Mill improved latnle that can be bought from $-'5 to $'H) per acre and in Crook county there are over one million acres, some adjoining ir rigated land, that can be taken up under the government homestead and dewrt land acts. The 1). I. A P. Co., have sold 4000 acres since April 1st. All present indications are that during the next two years the lVsehutos valley and Crook County will break all records in growth, development and increase in taxable property. The fair held at Redmond, Sept. 20th. 22nd, 1.KX, demonstrated the fact beyond all doubt that this decomposed lava soilfjis as good ns Ik out of doors, and at the present prices land in Crook county is a bonanza investment. The Settlors' Association, of Redmond, Ore., have had a book let published setting forth the op portunities and describing the soil and climate of Crook County for those contemplating investments in farms, town property or mer cantile pursuits, which they are sending to all inquirers. Very truly, H. f . Jokes, Secretary 1). I. vfc P. Settlers Asso. Redmond, Ore. Redmond Items.

Four hundred and foity feet deep was our well on Saturday morning with thirty feet of water that three hours drawing had failed to lower. Fine soft water, but when we were present there was noue tit for drinking. A. J. Booth has moved on his new farm. Word was received at the local D. I. & P. Co. ollice on Wednesday to withdraw all land from sale. It probably means another boost in the price of the raw land. Then some of us will be richer, won't we! The Ladies Aid social Wednes day night was a great success in every way. The attendance was good and so was the cream. The music and recitations were ditto. Financially it was a success and it certainly deserved to be. Thursday morning a merry party of twenty-two, including big and little, started from Redmond for White Rock for a dav's outing and fishing. At the noon round-up about one hundred and seventy head had been lassoed, about a hundred of which were promptly disposed of, and also about a hundred other good things. When Jhe catch amounted to three hun dred, weary and nnngry we return ed home voting it a ripping good time and vowing that we would all go again. E. C. Park. Redmond, June 3, 11)07.
