12 THE 3IOKXIXG OREGOXTAy, MONDAY, MAItCII 15, 190H. Phases of Industrial Growth of Pacific Northwest PASSING OF 70" LIDS MARKS ERA Vast Holdings of Heryfords to Be Turned From Cattle raising to Farming. GREAT PROJECTS STARTED Oregon Valley Land Company "Will Put Famous Acres "Under Water ' From Goose Lake and Bring in Colonization Scheme. LAKEVIEW. Or., March 14. (Special .) The passing of the "TO" holdings in Lake and Klamath counties, Oregon, and Mo doc County, California, is the topic of conversation in Southern Oregon. It marks the dividing up of perhaps the largest landed holdings used exclusively Tor livestock purposes and controlled by one family in the state of Oregon. To speak of the "70" ranches in South ern Oregon, brings to the mind of every one familiar with the country the thou sands of acres of valuable hay and range lands, controlling practically all of the water of Goose Lake Valley and the sur rounding country, that have been ac cumulated by the Heryfords. Since 1878, when W. P. ("Dad") Heryford and his brother, J. D. Heryford, purchased the little band of 1300 head of cattle owned by old Jimmy Hoight in Goose Lake Valley, the Heryford holdings have been known far and near as the "70." The Hoight cattle were branded with the figures 70, and the Heryfords "bought the iron." Everything In the livestock line that was found on the range with the "70" brand became the property of the Heryfords. Bought Only Irrigable Lands. Since that time the Heryford brothers have experienced the ups and downs of the pioneer cattlemen: have eeen cattle die by the thousands In a hard "Winter, and have again built up their herds until they ranged over all of the hills of Eastern Oregon, and brought in thousands of dollars of profit. "With a policy of buying only lands that controlled water, or were easily irrigable, the Heryfords, during the 33 years they have been in the cat tle business In Southern Oregon, have gradually become the owners of nearly EO.000 acres of rich meadow, grazing and timber lands. There Is not a Summer range in close proximity to Goose Lake Valley that the Heryfords are not in terested in. Not a stream of water flowing into the lake from the west or north that does not furnish water for the Heryford ranges. Hardly a buckaro in Southeastern Oregon who has not been "cow-puncher" on some one of the string of ranches maintained by the "70" interests. "70" Holding's Sold. This week the vast landed holdings of the '70s" were sold to the Oregon Val ley Land Company, a corporation which is colonizing thousands of acres in this section of the country. When President Martin, of the latter company, bargained for the Heryford lands, he secured for his colonizing scheme the richest lands of Lake County, and incidentally marked the end of one of the most successful, largest, and best-known livestock cor porations in Southern Oregon. "When "Dad" Heryford, known and esteemed as one of the most upright pioneer stock men, and one of the far-sighted, clear headed, conservative business men, quit the stock business, the most skeptical ac knowledged that the day of the big live stock companies in Eastern Oregon is passing that the small stockman and the tiller of the soil will soon supplant the "cow man" on the vast and fertile plateau of Southeastern Oregon. The con sideration for the deal ran but little short of the seven-figure mark, and the Hery fords have yet to dispose of their live stock holdings, machinery, etc. Identified 'With State's Growth. The history of the growth of the vast wealth represented by the Heryford hold ings is the story of the growth of South eastern Oregon. "When settlers were miles apart, and every pound' of flour had to be hauled overland from the "Willamette Valley, in Oregon, or Sacra mento Valley, in California, "W. P. Hery ford came to Oregon at the age of 25 years and began ranching on a small scale. A Missourian by birth, Mr. Hery ford crossed the plains to California in 1857, at the age of 10 years. After coming to Oregon in 1872, he was joined by his brothers, J. D. and tt R. Heryford, and, they began running cattle as partners In 1878 they bought the "70" brand and began accumulating land with a view to establishing a cattle business on a large scale. Always keeping the business strictly within the family, their holdings grew gradually until they became the strongest livestock firm in this section of the coun try. In 1S95 H. R. Heryford sold his in erest in the partnership to his brothers - and in 1902 "W. P. Heryford became presi dent and J. D. Heryford vice-president of the Heryford Land & Cattle Co., a corporation organized to take 'over the Heryford holdings. No one outside of the two Heryfords and their children was permitted to own stock in the corpora tion. In 1908 this company purchased the real estate and livestock of the Cox & Clarke interests in Oregon, including the "XL" brand. This greatly increased the value and strategic location of the landed holdings of the company, and made those lands so desirable in consummating the colonizing and irrigation schemes of the Oregon Valley Land Company that the lands were purchased. Goose Valley Water Controlled. This gives the Oregon Valley Land Company control of the water of Goose Lake Valley, and insures the early com pletion of one of the most important ir rigation projects in the State of Oregon "With private capital put in the system it will be completed in the shortest pos sible time, and will furnish water to thousands of acres of land at the lowest reasonable rate. Since the experience of the Klamath people with the Government Reclamation Service, Lake County people have hesi tated to express a wish that the Gov ernment should take hold of the many available projects in this county But these same people are delighted to have the Oregon Valley Land Company put the entire Goose Lake Valley under water. The men in the employ of the private corporation wearing , shoulder straps and bossing the Job are limited in number. Its engineers are the best all seasoned una. experiencea men. The system will be permanent, will be installed at min imum expense, -and consequently will fur- nisn water ax a reasonable cost, both iniuai ana ior maintenance. The sale or the vast holdings of the Heryford Land & Cattle Co. has made possible the successful completion of the Goose Lako Valley irrigation scheme, and marks the passing of the great public ranges. - In its results the deal pulled off this week will rank as one of the biggest in Oregon.

NYSSA WILL HAVE WATER TRIIIGATIOX SCHEME TO BENE FIT COO, 000 ACRES. Eastern Oregon Town Three Years Old "Is Already Assuming Com mercial Center Importance. NYSSA. Or., March 14. (Special.) Nyssa is feeling good over the prospect of a great irrigation project in the nature of a high-line ditch. A large corps of engineers is located a few miles south of town and is making the preliminary surveys for the work. This project will put water on 200,000 acres of as fine 'land as can be found within the arid regions, and Nyssa being the logical trade center for all this ter ritory, will quite naturally assume a commercial importance of no small pro portions. The land already under cultivation un der the low-line ditches is producing enormous crops of alfalfa, . fruit, etc., which are of the finest Quality. As a matter of fact, no finer ranches can be found in Eastern Oregon than those in the vicinity of Nyssa. A company has leased 250 acres of land one mile south of Nyssa and is already preparing it for planting to sugar beets, from which they intend raising beet seed. After many experiments in various parts of the Northwest, the company found the soil here superior to any other for the propagation of seed. This itself will give employment to 150 or 200 labor ers and should this year's crop prove successful, the company will double or treble this acreage next year. Nyssa Is also located In the very heart of the natural gas zone. A well four miles from Nyssa, 220 feet deep, furnishes natural gas for lighting the dwelling and for cooking purposes. The device for confining the gas is very crude and, with the proper apparatus, much more could be saved. This well was drilled for do mestic purposes and the presence of gas at this depth is but potent evidence that unlimited quantities could be found lower down. Nyssa is only three years old, but is one of the most promising young towns in Eastern Oregon. There are several general stores, a good bank, newspaper. etc., already established, and all are prospering. , ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED MOUNT HOOD ROUTE TO TAP UPPER VALLE1P. David Kccles, Salt Lake Capitalist, Announces Road AVill Iiater Be Run by Electricity. HOOD RIVER, Or., March 14. (Spe cial.) Having secured the right of way, W. H. Eccles, president, and Charles T. Early, superintendent of the Mount Hood Railroad, announced today an extension of the railroad six miles further up the valley. The extension will carry the road a distance of 21 miles from Hood River, penetrating the heart of the finest fruitgrowing and farming section in the upper valley. The right of way for the extension. which will be built from Dee, the pres ent terminus of the Mount Hood Rail road, to the Base Line, was secured on condition that work is to be commenced not later than March 20, and President Eccles says that it is intention to push the work so rapidly that construction will be completed by July 1 in order, to ac commodate the big tourist traffic which it is expected this year will visit Cloud Cap Inn. By extending the road visitors to the Jnn will be able to reach there from the terminus of the railway by a wagon or automobile ride of about nine miles. They are now compelled to travel 28 miles by stage or automobile. It Is stated by residents of the upper valley and the officials of the railroad that the extension will open up for devel opment 15.000 acres of the finest unim provedVland in the valley, and will solve the problem of transportation that has kept this district back. The land reached by the new part of the road is already under irrigation, and it also taps part of the same section through -which it is proposed to build an electric road. The capital behind the Mount Hood Railroad is that of David Eccles, the mil lionaire lumberman and sugar refiner, of Salt Lake City, and it is intimated that later electric power will be substituted for steam now in use, and other exten sions made that will cover the entire valley. The Mount Hood company, al ready has an S00 horsepower electric plant at Dee, part of which is used to operate the big lumber mill, and in addition the company recently ' purchased another power site at "Winans, considered one of the finest on the Hood River. In addition to providing an outlet for the fruit products of the upper valley. It is expected that the extension of the road will stimulate the dairying busi ness which is now carried on there quite extensively, and will result in the erec tion of a creamery to save the long haul by wagon to Hood River from where the cream Is shipped to Portland. The strawberry crop of the upper val ley, which Is about 10 days later than that in the lower valley, is also expected to be largely increased by providing prop er facilities for getting it to market quickly, and valuable timber, which it has not heretofore been possible to reach, will be available. Besides tapping the upper valley, the Mount Hood road runs through the east side apple belt, and 50,000 boxes of apples , were tnis year supped vut over Its line.

HID EXPECTED Malheur Irrigation Project to Go Forward. ONTARIO RAISES $2500 Commercial Club Will Actively Ex ploit Itcgion by Advertising. Oil and Gas Expected to Add to Assets of This Region. ONTARIO. Or.. March 14. (Special.) Active measures are being taken by the Ontario Commercial Club and the principal landowners in this vicinity looking to the revival of a great irri gation scheme known as the Malheur Government irrigation project. An effort was made in this direction four years ago. but owing to certain obsta cles it proved abortive. The Govern ment has promised to take hold of the work as soon as petitions from 90 per cent of the landowners are presented. This requirement has been practically met, and the people of Ontario. Vale, and. in fact, of Malheur County are Jubilant over the prospect. A large fund is available for irrigation work in Oregon from the fact that so little has been done along that line In the state. The installation of this project augurs well for the future of Kastern Oregon, as it will reclaim 175.000 acres of land which is now valueless. It means that thousands of happy, pros perous homes will be established within a short time where now only a vast waste of sage brush greets the vision. The people of Ontario are greatly in earnest over the matter, and they are quietly, yet resolutely, bending every energy toward' the ac complishment of the great enterprise, fully cognizant of the fact that with the magic touch of water which is obtainable in unlimited quantities the soil will yield up "wealth beyond the fondest dreams of avarice." As indicating the fertility of the soil, samples of alfalfa nine feet high are on exhibition in the rooms of the On tario Commercial Club. Fruits of every description grow in abundance on irri gated land here, and In size and qual ity are unsurpassed. Truly it is a revelation to the uninitiated who visit this section of Oregon and see the marvelous possibilities of the soil. Hitherto little has been done towards advertising this particular portion of the state, but the people have aroused from the lethargy that has so long retarded their progress, and are now making an aggressive campaign for recognition from the outside world. As an illustration of the spirit which dominates the populace, a meeting was called a few nights ago and the sum of $2500 was subscribed by the citizens of the town In 30 minutes for publicity purposes. Another industry yet in embryo, but which promises to develop into a great asset of this section, is the discovery of natural gas and oil. Inside the city limits of Ontario a well is being driven which is emitting such a powerful pressure of gas (struck at 2250 feet) that the present equipment had to be abandoned, and the management is awaiting the arrival of special ma chinery for the prosecution of the work. There Is no longer any question as to the presence of gas In commer cial quantities, but the promoters are confident that oil will -be struck, and will not halt in their operations until they have made an exhaustive inves tigation. Ontario is situated in the far-famed Snake River Valley, on the main line of tho Oregon Short Line, and evi dences are not wanting that here will be the theater of great industrial ac tivity in tho near future.
