THE MOKJVIXG OREGONIAX, MONDAY, MAT 6, 1907. 13 PHASES WATER IN PLENTY FDR BIKER LANDS Irrigation .Project Will Give Arid Soil High Degree of Fertility. THROWN OPEN TO PUBLIC Private Reclamation Work, When Complete, Will Cost $150,000 and Serve 10,000 Acres Main Canal 12 Miles In Length. BAKER CITT. May 5. (Special.) The placing upon the market of a large tract of land lying northeast of this city and owned by the Baker Irrigation Company, marks one of the greatest steps in the progress of the metropolis of Eastern Oregon. The opening of this body of land to purchasers Is an event that has been awaited with interest by a large num ber of homeseekers of Baker City and vi cinity, who have been watching the pro gress of the irrigation ditch since work commenced on it about IS months ago. The canal heads in the Powder River about eight miles south of Baker City, and ater following the tortuous contour of the valley and the hillside for a dis tance of 12 miles, reaches the reservoir site, one mile east of this city. Along a good portion of the mountain side above South Baker the cana! has. at great ex pense, been cut into the solid rock, thus obviating the ue of the cheaper but tem porary wooden flume. The company has not spared any expense to provide against any accident that would deprive it of the water at the critical period of irrigation work, and at one point near Sutton Creek a long line of flume has been dispensed with by making an Immense fill of earth. 4 , Instal Big Syphon. The problem of crossing Sutton Creek and the O. R. & N. right of way was successfully solved by the use of what Is probably the largest inverted syphon In the Northwest. It Is made of double riveted No. 10 steel pipe, 48 inches in di ameter, throitgh which the water drops 90 feet, passing under Sutton Creek and the main line of tile O. R. & N. Railroad, about a mile southeast of Baker City. Another Inconvenient and expensive piece of work was caused the company by not being allowed to come within the corporate limits of Baker City. This ne cessitated the construction of a tunnel about two blocks long through the Reser voir Hill. This tunnel is 6x8 feet and is cut out of solid rock a great part of the way. After passing through the tunnel, the canal continues along the mountain side and around the hills until it reaches the reservoir site one mile east of this city. The main canal, from its head on Pow rer River to the reservoir, is 12 miles long, while the two main laterals, one of which Is taken from the main canal, and the other from the reservoir, will add as much more to the length of the ditches that have been built by the company. The canal and reservoir will, when com pleted, be one of the most expensive and at the same time one of the most com plete Irrigation systems In Oregon. The embankment for the retaining wall of the reservoir will be 2000 feet long, 50 feet high, and 250 feet wide at the base of the deepest point. It will differ from the ordinary form of earthen dam In this, that, whereas there is usually a puddled core or wall In the center of the embank ment. In this case the entire dam will consist of puddled earth, the material be ing all put In place by the sluicing method, which was possible, as the canal Is about &0 feet higher than the top of the reser voir, thus furnishing a sufficient head of water and sufficient grade for piping or sluicing. This plan of building makes an embankment that is extremely firm, and with the great thickness of the wall will make a reservoir that will last Indefi nitely. J. A. Smith Promotes Work. The pushing of the big project to a suc cessful completion Is due to the energy and ability of J. A. Smith, of this city. In the Kali of 1906 work was begun on the construction of the ditch with a force of 175 men. Since that time the work has been pushed as rapidly as the weather and local conditions would permit. The company now has at work on the con-t-truttion of the reservoir a gang of nearly 0 men, whose payroll will average about $Mw per week. The financing of this pro ject by private interests has been suc cessfully handled by Mr. Smith, and $150, iMK which will be the total cost of the system when completed, has been raised and made available. This project has meant much to Baker City because of the fact that practically all of the money spent for labor has been paid to local workmen. It is the intention of the company to have the entire system completed this year. At present the water covers an tlrea of from 2 to 25 acres, and, when completed, will cover 240 acres of ground. This large body of water will be about 27 feet deep and afford one of the finest Summer resorts of Eastern Oregon. The complaint of visitors to Baker that there is no large body of water near has now been overcome and fine sport can be had on' the lake both Summer and Winter. The company will improve the ground about the lake, planting trees and making a fine driveway. That this will be a popular Summer resort Is indicated by the fact that the company has received applications for the privilege of running rowboats. sailboats and launches on the lake during the Summer, and the privilege of turning the lake into an Immense skating rink during the Winter. The irrigation system when fully de veloped will furnish water to irrigate about 10.000 acres of land. The plan of the company Is to till its reservoir during the latter part of Winter and early in Spring and Irrigate directly from the river during the Hood season. When the flood season passes, water will be drawn from the reservoir, which will hold suf ficient for irrigation througout the grow ing season. The provision for all Summer irrigation will make of the portion of Baker Valley which it covers an intensive productive section. This land has a warm western exposure to the sun and con sequently a longer growing season. Place 1000 Acres on Sale. x The company, which owns all the land covered by this ditch, has placed on the market only 1000 acres, which is betng old for $50 to $100 per acre, according to the sine of the tract and its location. This tract has been divided up into smaller tracts of 5. 10, 20. 40 afid 50 acres. The company was not very7 desirous of eUing the land, bit because of the de mand placed this tract on the market. This immense body of land is the richest and most fertile in Baker Valley, .but be cause of the lack of moisture has pro- OF INDUSTRIAL GROWTH IN I J0k -1 I ' - -1 - ' - $ rMouKwo soli. AT&Lv&T-w q Vi,v?Tr' - , r. Z- n jl ; r n - &3sxi& " r?--1 s ,;r n - -i - duced nothing but sage brush and grass. The company is this year placing under cultivation 400 acres of grround which it has sowed to wheat, oats and barley. The yield of grain from this rich soil is from 60 to 100 bushels per acre. It is estimated that one acre of this ground would pro duce six tons of alfalfa yearly. The com pany is preparing to carry on its work on a much larger scale next year and is now plowing up 1500 acres, which will be seeded next Spring. The company is planning to carry on extensive experiments to determine the quality of grains best suited to this climate and soil. Many different varieties of .wheat, oats, barley and other small grains will be planted and the one giving the best returns will be generally, pro duced.. The sugar beet industry will also be tried this year. A man with experi ence in raising sugar beets has been en gaged to prepare the ground and raise two carloads, which will be sent to a near by factory and there tested for quality. If the result is satisfactory, beets will be raised on a large scale and a sugar beet factory established in Baker City. Kxperiment With Products. Potatoes are said to grow most bounti fully on this soil. It is conservatively estimated that this land will produce, at the lowest. 250 bushels of potatoes to the acre, and that with such a crop a man could buy a five-acre tract, raise potatoes, and besides paying for the land make a good interest on his money. It is the ex pectation of the company that potatoes will yield about 500 bushels to the acre, and they will be -of the finest size and quality. Small fruits and berries of all kinds will also come in for their share of cultiva tion. All kinds of berries will be set out and a record kept of tlir productive ness. Especially will strawberries receive attention, as it is the opinion of the com pany that the finest berries in the state can be produced here. Because of the Spring frosts a late variety will neces sarily have to be cultivated, but the warm climate, the rich, soil and the west ern exposure assure as fine a crop as can be produced anywhere. The size of the reservoir being conT structed at present was necessitated be cause of the great expense attached to such an undertaking. The dam' can be ratsed at any time to a height of 90 feet, thus increasing the reservoir to nearly three times its present depth and increas ing the size of the lake by as much as 100 acres. The waterfall of 50 feet from the main canal to the reservoir would afford sufficient power to lift the water f0 feet higher into another reservoir if the company so desires. The extent of the project Is limited only by the ex pense connected with its development.- AVAXT XEV KOAI .VXO FERRY Springfield Comnieroiiil Club Active in Securing Improvements. SPRINGFIELD, Or., May 5. ( Special.) A committee recently appointed by the. Commercial Club for the purpose of inter viewing the farmers in the Pleasant Hill Valley, in regard to establishing a new road and putting in a ferry boat three miles below Jasper, has been active. The committee consisted of C. H. Rychard, Paul Bettelheim and H. M. Stewart. These-three, accompanied by Editor Bee be, drove over tlto proposed route and report that by biiildlng a road, crossing the river at a point just below Burt Mat thews' farm, the distance to Springfield can be shortened to about four miles, whereas it Is now necessary for the farmers in that locality to travel eight miles. The farmers are very enthusiastic over the prospect of a new road and have of fered their assistance in building same, also a free right of way. If the county can be induced to erect and maintain a ferry. A petition will be- circulated for signers and will then be presented to the County Commissioners. It is believed that the court will recognize the petition and that the Toad will be established. AXXIOIS FOR RAILROAD LIXE Laidlaw Citizens Ready to Raise $100,000 Bonus. LAIDLAW", Or.. May 5. (Special.) At an enthusiastic meeting of the Laidlaw "Development League and citi zens of the community, the local rail-ro--l question was discussed. It has developed that the obstructions to the building of the Oregon Trunk Line road have been removed, and that the road will build into this section of the state. Citizens here hail this informa tion with delight, and will do all in their power to further the building- of this line to Laidlaw. It was determined at the meeting to make an effort to raise a grood-slzed bonus to induce the line to build into Laidlaw-. The location of the town is one of the finest in the whole Inland PUBLIC AND INDUSTRIAL Empire. It lies nestled in the Valley of the Deschutes, with thousands of acres of irrigated land on either side, and the timber belt within .five miles of the' limits of the town. The old survey of the Corvallis & Eastern crosses the river at this point, and with the building of it and the trunk lino Laidlaw will be much bene fited. The people are enthusiastic and enterprising, and all that is lacking for the rapid development and building of a city is the assurance of the construc tion of transportation lines within a reasonable time. It is believed that the citizens of Laidlaw and the surrounding country will be able to furnish to the road an inducement of $100,000, If the road may be brought here within a reason able time. It is also believed that the Corvallis & Eastern may be induced to construct to this point, and every ef fort will be made to Induce the build ing of this line, as well as that of the trunk system. ALBANY TO HAVE BIG HOTEL E. H. Rhodes Plans to Erect Fine Hostelry. ALBANY, Or., May 5. (SpeciaU-Al-bany may have another hotel and one which will be a more modern hostelry than the city now has. E. H. Rhodes is contem plating the erection of such a structure on property at the southwest corner of First and Ferry streets, a prominent business corner. Excavating is now in progress for a business block Mr. Rhodes planned to construct, but the owner is now considering a change in plans and expects to rear a structure for hotel purposes. In the event that this action Is determined upon, a thoroughly modern and suitable building will be the result. OUT FOR CLARK COUNTY VANCOUVER CLUB BEGINS CAM PAIGN -OF EXPLOITATION. Appoints Committee to Raise Money by Subscription for Advertising to Reach New Industries. VANCOUVER, Wash., May 6. (Spe cial.) The recently established pub licity department of the Vancouver Columbia Club has taken' active opera tion during the past few days toward a systematic campaign of advertising: and advancement of the interests of the territory in the vicinity of Van couver and especially in Clark County. The committee in charge of this work is composed of E. G. Crawford, ex Mayor of Vancouver; J. H. Elwell, a prominent real estate dealer and E. E. Beard, editor and publisher of the Van couver Columbian. They will begin a canvass among the commercial men of this community to secure funds for carrying on this new feature of the club's work. The Columbia Club itself has set aside a special fund for the aid of this department, and has appointed a special secretary to take charge of the branch. - The committee has ordered 1000 copies of the souvenir number of the Vancouver Chronicle, which will ap pear within the next few days. This issue which has been compiled with the special intention of boosting this locality, will be widely spread in or der to thoroughly acquaint new peo ple and new capital with the pros pects and advantages of this vicinity. The club has in its promotion of this work, the idea to specialize as much as possible, and secure the Interests of peo ple with capital to invest in enterprises best adapted to, and most needed in this place.

' MANY INDUSTRIES ADDED Large Church Is Dedicated and a $15,000 High School to Be Con structed Timber Attracts Lumber Manufacturers. SILVERTON, Or., May 5. (Special.) From the first fiusn of green on the fields and' foliage this Spring until Au tumn has browned the pastures and scattered the withered leaves, great ac tivity will be experienced in all branches of industry in Silverton, and if at the close of the year the little city has In creased its population by one-half it will not surprise those who are instrumental in the present progressive movement. Probably no city in the Willamette Val ley the size of Silverton will experience a greater improvement during the Sum mer of 1907 than this. If all plans ma terialize nearly 100 new buildings will be erected before the close of the season, and several which were started early are nearing completion. The new Christian Church was finished last week and dedicated today. This Is the best church building in the city and has a seating capacity of 500 people. Rev. Albyn Esson, recently of Portland, has charge of the pulpit and to him is due much credit for the construction of the handsome edifice. One of the most important movements in the line of development in Silverton is the construction of a large sawmill in the city by the Silverton Lumber Company, and to this enterprise is large ly attributed the present great activity which the people of Silverton enjoy. The building is progressing rapidly and the mill will be in operation about August 1. In addition to this the company has built about nine miles of railroad from the mill to its timber east of Silverton, and by the time the mill is ready to saw logs will be carried over the road to the mill. Brick Buildings Under Way. R. M. Cowden, president of the com pany, and W. A. Reynolds.- secretary, will erect two new dwellings upon lots which they have already purchased. The residences will cost in the neighborhood of J10.000 each., ' Another Improvement in Silverton is the new hotel, the Silverton, which has already been finished this Spring by J. P. Hunter ana' Is now operated by B. E. 'Kane. Two brick store buildings are going up at present and there is talk of another before the season closes. An article concerning the progress of Silverton would not approach complete ness unless it told of the efficiency of the public schools. Among the foremost improvements in the city is the new high school building now under con struction. The building will be built of brick and at a cost of about $16,000. The work will be completed about ; September 1. With two creditable school buildings located on First street in the heart, of the city the school system Is complete and the growth of many years. . Heavy Timber at Hand. Silverton is bounded on, the south and east by an almost inexhaustible supply of timber, the quality of which is un surpassed in the valley, and thousands of acres of fir are as yet untouched by ax or saw. In view of this fact several small mills have been erected in the vicinity of Silverton and the product of the forest is being placed on the market. The Fischer Flouring Mills Company has within the- past year rebuilt Its prop erty and installed the latest system for manufacturing ftour, and today is second to none in the state. The Silverton Hop growers" Association, which was organ ized a few weeks ago, is erecting a large warehouse near the depot. A new cream ery has just been finished, and no less than ten new dwellings are now under OREGON construction. The principal streets of the city are being macadamized, and the general appearence of Silverton Is un dergoing . a great change for the better. TO BORE FOR OIL IN' YAMHILL Portland and The Dalles Capitalists Lease 3 000 Acres. McMINNVILLE. May 5. A large com pany of capitalists of Portland and The Dalles have just signed a lease for 3000 acres of land In the North Yamhill gap. The lease is for 99 years, and operations are to be begun at once to bore for oil. The contract reads for "oil. minerals, and coal, and the owners get 10 per cent of the net profit of whatever is found. If oil is not struck in 18 months the lease becomes null and void, and reverts to the owners of the land. The company Is well backed financially, and very expensive machinery will be in stalled at once. The company contemp lates putting in r.000 or $30,000 worth of machinery at the beginning. It has had experts in the country examining the formation here who say it is exactly the same as is found in rich oil regions, and predict that oil will be found on the leased acres. Mr. Farely, the oil expert, examined various phases of mineral nature in the county. As an expert he declared that Yamhill County has a future In minerals. He examined the rock quarry of Mr. Bueley of McMinnville, and said it con talned some of the finest building granite in the Pacific Northwest. Mr. Bueley is contemplating Installing machinery and taking out the granite. MAY BUILD TO COOS BAY KOSEBURG . CAPITALISTS SUB SCRIBE MONEY FOR LIXE. Citizens of Marsbfield and North Bend Interested In Project and Will Advance Kunds. MARSHFIBLD, Or., May 5. (Special.) Deep interest is being manifested In Coos Bay and the intervening country betwen Roseburg and this place over a proposed electric road to connect the two places. It is thought the project will be carried through. The Roseburg people have taken the initiative. Prominent men of that place have volunteered $500,000 worth of stock toward the building of the line if a proportionate amount is subscribed in the cities of Marshfield and North Bend. Louis Barzee, an attorney of Roseburg, has been sent ' to the bay to bring the matter before the people. A mass meeting will be held in Marshfield this week. At torney Barzee addressed the North Bend Chamber of Commerce recently and that body passed resolutions heartily indors ing the project. It Is estimated the road wyi cost be tween $1,100,000 and $2,000,000. Tt is the intention to run the line out of Roseburg for a distance of 20 miles up the Umpqua River Valley and thence to Coal Valley, down Hubbard Creek to the mouth, from Vhich It will run to the source of Coos River. It will follow this stream Into Coos Bay. The total ' distance Is about 75 miles. The road will carry both freight and passengers. ' - This is the third attempt made to build a road between the two points. The first was made 20 years ago and resulted in a failure, and a similar effort about three years ago met the same fate. It is the general opinion that the time is now ripe for the successful outcome of the project. One prominent business man In Marshfield has promised to subscribe $50,000 if the Coos Bay people show the proper spirit of co-operation. LOOKS ASKANCE AT RAILROAD Coos Bay Citizens Suspicious of Southern Pacific. . MARSHFIELD, Or., May 6. (Special.) J. N. Nier, representing the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, has arrived on Coos Bay with the evident intention of securing an opening into Marshfield and North Bend for the line of that road which is now building in from Drain by way of Gardiner on the Umpqua River. Nier makes the assertion that the company will pass by both cities Breaking Ground For Independent New rFono Co. Opens Trenche Along Harney Street for Con duit From Central Building. Closely following the announcement of the purchase of its sites for the new cen tral telephone exchange and -the north side branch exchange, the Independent Telephone Co. has begun active construc tion work for the Installation of the new automatic telephone plant. A larg force of men went to worK Wednesday opening u p Harney street from Nineteenth east for the ditch In which to lay the initial line of conduits leading from the central building Into the business district. The trench is be ing opened on the north side of the street near the sidewalk. A novel feature connected with the con struction work Is the marking of th opn trench with a row of red pennants, each bearing in white letters the words "Independent Telephone Co." It ts not only a clever advertisement calling atten tion to the progress of, work in building the new plant, but it also suffices to In form curious spectators and save the asking and answering of Innumerable, Questions. World-Herald, Omaha Neb. LOUIS HOME BONDS on- the bay If the proper concessions are not made. He says the Southern Pacific believes It should be offered water frontage in both places. There is a strong feeling against the road on the bay and the people are .unanimously " opposed - to granting it any rights along the water, contending that it is the road's inten tion to bottle up the cities' wharves against possible future competitors. STRAIGHTEN OCT THE CURVES Spokane Falls & Northern Work ing to Lessen Grades. COLVILLE, Wash., May 5. (Special. ) Engineer Butler, having In. charge the work of resurvey of the line of the Spo kane Falls & Northern Railway, has been here for the past two weeks, during which time he has run a number of pre liminary lines with a view to straighten ing out the big curve in the line running into Colville, and at the same time lessen ing the grade down the valley at this point. According to the estimates made by Mr. Butler, when the new line is con structed, it will be necessary to move the Colville station house from a half to three-quarters of a mile farther away from town to the northwest. On the new cutoff at this place it is estimated' that In a distance of five miles, nearly three quarters of a mile in distance will be saved. New Brewery to Start. COLVILLE, Wash., May 5. (Special.) The Colville Brewing & Bottling Com pany, Limited, was organized here this week by ' A. W. Goodenough, recently from Nelson, B. C and B. F. Hammond A. E. Veatch, Sigmund Dilshelmer and F. A.
