Another indication that the Harri man people expect to start actual con struction work on their Trans-Oregon line from Vale is the fact that a main line water tank is to be. installed at once in the local railroad yards. The tank is to be of the largest type used on the main line, water to be pumped from deep wells by a gasoline engine. It will be built alongside of the Oregon & Eastern track just east of the site of proposed brick passenger depot, soon to be erected at the foot of Main street. The crew, now completing the big freight depot, will erect the water tank. Engineer Osborn, of the local con struction engineer's headquarters, ar rived in town yesterday from Portland with 100 railroad laborers who are to be used in the ballasting of the Brogan railroad track. The water tank at Brogan is already completed and installed with a pump and gasoline engine. In two or three weeks stock yards will be erected at Brogan and Jamieson by the railroad company. The Oregon-Idaho Lumber Co. can save you money on your building material. VISITORS' REPORTS OF OIL FIELD ARE TRUE Enterprise Sends Staff Correspond ent to Look Over Work and Prospects After hearing the splendid reports through interviews with prominent Eastern oil men, who visited the Vale oil fields during the past three weeks, the Enterprise became so interested that during the past week a member of the staff was sent out to the oil field on a special mission to learn whether indications were as ' bright as pictured out by the visitors. Going to the Col umbia well the Enterprise representa tive found all the officers of the com pany on the spot, learned that this well, which for the past week or so bad been idle on account of reaming and Betting casing, was starting out on a double shift, drilling crews to work day and night. The gas showing at the Columbia was most evident, while quantities of oil were seen io every bailer. The Columbia drill is working in a hard blue shale and ex perienced oil men state that the much sought oil sand lies right below. Over at the Malheur well a medium coarse sand, containing large quanti ties of oil, is brought up in the bailer from a depth of about 2000 feet. There is a spirit of optimism among all who have visited the field, and from past experiences in California and other oil fields, these people are certainly right when they state there is no need of stretching the imagination to pic ture that a few months will see the hills of the Vale oil field covered with numerous derricks. The reports of such men as Leroy Bishop of Delphos," Kansas, who has large holdings here and who is so confident of victory that he is to organize a company of Kansas people for the development of the Vale oil field; and of J. P. Myers of Phila delphia, who became heavily interested in oil land after his first visit over this field, and C. P. Saunders of Bennard, Kansas, representing 'a number of wealthy Kansas people, who became so enthusiastic upon seeing such splen did indications of black oil, and the re port of the newspaper representative would lead The Enterprise to corrobor ate all the statements made by promi nent oil men, so favorable to the early discovery of the oil flow.

HILL STARTS ON EAST5T0 WEST LINE Across Oregon as Soon as Trunk Line Gets to Bend CONTRACTS TO BE LET In the Near Future is Opinion of Contractors Who Have Been Over ihe Route Work to go Right on as Soon as Junction Point is Reached According to late advices here it is the opinion that the work on the Hill east and west railroad from Bend to the eastern part of the state will be gin in a short time, says the Burns Times Herald. That is there will be no halt in the work after the comple tion of the Oregon Trunk up the Des chutes. Already contractors have been over the ground and it is thought that work will not be delayed. One firm of contractors now on the Des chutes it is thought have already sub mitted bids on a portion of the east and west line and it is possible more bids have been asked. While there is no authority for this assertion coming from any official of the Hill people, it is generall discussed that plans have gone thus far. Although work in other sections has been curtailed to some extent it is un derstood there will be no cessation of activity in the central Oregon field. Things have been rather quiet in the railroad field for several weeks, that is so far as effecting the interior of Oregon is concerned but the work of the Hill people goes on and the rumor that there will be work on the east and west line without delay and J. J. Hill's optimistic interview published in this issue all tend to an encouraging outlook. BISHOP PADDOCK SUBSCRIBES FREELY TO GUILD HALL FUND While in town last Sunday Bishop Paddock, of the Eastean Oregon diocese of Episcopal churches, subscribed $250. to the Guild Hall fund if the people of Vale would raise $750 or $500 if $1000 were subscribed in Vale. As $450 has already been donated and a large part of the needed $300 subscribed, the hall is an assured fact. JORDAN VALLEY IS YERY PROSPEROUS SAYS KOHOUT T. T.

WATER SUPPLY FOR 5000 PEOPLE At Willow Springs According to Report of Engineer Root- Other Tests Made. That the residents of this city may be posted on the actual facts concern ing the amount of water at the Willow Springs, which is thought to be the best source of water supply for the Vale water and sewer system, the En terprise publishes the report of Engi neer Root, who was sent out some time ago by Consulting Engineer Bul lock. : " The report shows that between 135, 000 and 140,000 gallons of water flow from the Willow Springs per 24 hours at the present time. The report also shows that the test was made without the collecting of all the water that can be secured from that source. , That amount of water will supply a city of about 5000 inhabinants, but in case of a much larger supply being needed in a few years artesian water can be se cured near the springs at .the same ele vation. Other people who have measured the amount of water at the springs found that there were 1 miners inches running under a 6-inch pressure, this 1 inches they also state is only about two ' thirds of the water that could be developed. Since a miners inch runs 16,000 gal lons of water in twenty-four hours it can be computed that Frank O'Neil, Fred Vogue and several other found 120,000 gallons, which , is only two- thirds the water that can be develop ed, or a . total of 160,000 gallons of water per 24 hours from the., springs, 15,000 to 30,000 gallons iore than the figures of the engineer's Report shows. The following is Engineer Root's report: ' ' "In measuring the water flowing the Willow Springs two devises were used. A flume was constructed and the flow by this method amounted to ,140,000 gallons per 24 hours. A weir was then made and 135, OOf) gallon s per 24 hours, was developed. 'This is a conservative estimate owing to the fact that a great quanti ty of the water was flowing through the quick sand along the face of the spring which extends 45 feet along a solid bed of rock, aud by constructing a concrete intake or wall on this bed rock, all the water would ' be collected which was not done when the above measurements were taken. . ' "This bed of rock is covered with a layer of course gravel, 8 to 10 inches in depth, and this is covered with a layer of earth 10 feet deep. This bed rock pitches down at angle of 18 de grees, which was found by boring holes back of the mouth of the spring. Ow ing to the fact that this water is forced up from some unknown regions in dicated a strong flow. These can easily be developed into a flow of 200,000 gal. from these springs. (Signed) J. E. Root, Engineer. TEST ACRE OF BIG BEND YIELDS 116 BUSHELS OF OATS The productiveness of Malheur county land is shown by the harvest on the 40 acre ranch of E. H. Brumbach which will bring him about $3000 this year. Mr. Brumbach has just har vested 12 bushels of red clover seed per acre from a second crop, netting him $103 per acre in seed, hay and straw. On a test acre he sowed 80 lbs of oat seed which has just threshed 116 bushels, a splendid record. BULLET HITS NINE MONTH'S OLD GIRL The little 9-months old girl of Gus Taylor, a negro living on the Glenn ranch, was accidently shot by her father on Wednesday evening, the bul let from a 38-40 calibre rifle going through the fleshy part of the infants hip. Gus Taylor, who is well known to Vale people as a follower of Jack Johnson through his taking part in several boxing contests last summer, moved his family out on the A. W. Glenn ranch a month ago. Wednesday evening after dark on hearing a coyote prowling around out side, he picked up the gun which was accidently discharged while Tay lor was moving around the dark room. Drs. Taylor and Roberts hurried to the Glenn ranch and found the baby sleeping restfully as the buttct has just gone through a small portion of the flesh.

There are Beveral , townships to be surveyed, , and it will take about three years to finish the work. The territory will embrace most of Stein Mountain, the valleys of Trout' Creek, Wild Horse, Alvord and part of Catlow and Barren valleys. There is a large amount of good agricultural land in this unsurveyed country that will be taken by settlers under the homestead and desert land laws which have been principally used by stockmen for pas ture for years,' owing to the reason that setters could not get filings on the lands.

(Continued on 1'age 8) HILL PEOPLE fffrvt rwwm a mm WILL 1 Mill DRYFARING First Move Toward Invasion of Eastern Oregon Be gins Saturday- i ' Prof. Shaw,v Soil Expert, Com missioned by Hill Railways will Start Lecture Trip ' From On tarioTo Teach Dry Farming To Malheur County' Ranchers That the Hill railroad interests ex pect to get busy very . soon in Eastern Oregon is shown by the announcement start on next Saturday in Malheur county. Professor Thomas Shaw, a soil expert of Montana and , North Dakota, who has been commissioned by Hill railroad interests to tour Interior Ore gon,' will speak at Vale, Ontario, Burns, Prineville, Madras, Bend and Silver Lake, the tour beginning at On tario on Octoher 8. ' The Oregon &. Western Colonization company, purcnaseroi tneu,uuu-acre land grant of the Willamette Valley !' and Cascade Mountain Military Road, ' will co-operate all it can toward mak ing Professor Shaw's' tour successful. W. P. Davidson,' president of the com pany, will probably be in 'Vale when Professor Shaw begins the trip; ' also,' John K. Burchard. . vice-nresident of the company. This company plans . to put a large part of its , holdings on the market for new settlers. , " . Professor Shaw for " 12 years was head of the Department of Animal Husbandry of the Agricultural College of Minnesota. ' Prior to that ' service he was u practical farmer for 25 years, near. Hamilton, Ontario. In recent years he has been employed by James J. Hill, for the Great Northern Rail road, working out problems . of dry . farming in the Middle Northwest. He is highly regarded by . Mr. Hill and by the people of this part of the country. Mr. Hill is desirous of bringing the dry districts of Interior Oregon Into successful agriculture, just as he has helped to do elsewhere along his rail- .n.j UItk V.i I- L. 1. sending Prof essor Shaw into Oregon, to give. the people there useful information. Professor Shaw's method of . dry farming for the grain is this: , . In early Spring plow as deeply as practicable; immediately follow with roller or disc harrow ,and then with spike harrow; allow the land to. lie fallow that season j. after each rain use the spike harrow (this conserves and holds the water.) If plowing can be done iu the Fall, ' so much the better. In that case, corn can be planted the next Spring for an intermediate crop between two yields of wheat. Two tons an acre of cured com fodder is common by this system. Or, in place of corn fodder, field peaa or beans may be raised, without un fitting the soil. for next year's wheat. But steady wheat growing, without Intervening years of conserving mois ture, is not successful "Greatest of all conversation prob lems in the West," says Professor Shaw, "is conservation of moisture. Yet the St. Paul Conservation Con gress never touched that subject." In three years. Professor Shaw's method gives two grain crops, plus an intermediate fodder crop. , The in termediate crop does not necessitate plowing for the grain sowing. COMPLAINTS FILED IN THE COUNTY CLERK'S OFFICE Divorce proceedings were fllod In the circuit court last Saturday in the case of Hugh Richie against Bertha M. Richie. The complaint states that they were married in Baker City In 1906 and that the defendant deserted the plaintifT in 1908 at Westfall and that she has since then refused to live with her husband.
