To Organize Dis
trict to Complete
Warm Springs
A meeting has been called for
March 13, today, of the various ditch
companies taking water out of the
Malheur river, for the purpose of or
ganizing or proposing the organiza
tion of an irrigation district and mak
ing an endeavor to secure the neces
sary funds to build the Warm Springs
reservoir.
The state has failed to take any
steps towards helping along the cause
of irrigation and the government has
refused to make any appropriation
unless the state appropriates an eual
amount. In the current issue will be
found notice of the re-opening of the
land under the high line, proposed, by
the land department which was with
drawn sometime since pending the in
vestigation of the project by the gov
ernment engineers.
There should be two districts form
ed but the present meeting is for the
consideration of the cheaper or valley
proposition which gives immediate use
and returns upon the construction of
the storage reservoir.
It is unquestionably the cheapest
project in the country. There is no
clearing of land and preparation for
cultivation on at least 10,000 acres.
The cost will be a mere trifle compar
ed to the values produced. Land not
now under cultivation will not hold
back returns for payment of interest
and maintenance.
That portion of the advance report
of the government engineers which is
of interest to the meeting called for
today is as follows:
Warm Springs Reservoir.
The mean annual runoff from Mid
dle Fork for the seven years and three
months of which records are available
is approximately 195,000 acre feet.
Attention is called to the record of
runoff at Vale for the years 1895 and
1903 when the runoff of the entire riv
er, less irrigation use, was less than
the mean of record for Middle Fork.
Comparison of records in later years
indicates that the Middle Fork runoff
is a little more than half that at Vale.
It is roughly estimated that storage
capacity of 225,000 acre feet at Warm
springs sue win provide a net storage j he tollowmg correspondence oc-
supply of 120,000 acre feet annually curred between the local land office
Facts About Big Bend Bridge Bonds
Kccler Brothers, of Denver, as Agents for County, Get Possession of Bonds and
Refuse to Deliver on Demand.
A situation has arisen in regard to
the bond sale of the Big Bend bridge
bonds i eported last week, which while
it may not result in delay in con
struction of that work, will cause
some strenuous legal work to untan
gle. H seems that upon getting ready
to sell the bonds it occurred to the
commissioners that it might be well
to engage special attorneys to pre
pare and perfect the details of the
sale in order that the legality might
be unquestioned.
Therefore a contract was entered
into between the county commission
ers, for the county, and Keeler Bros,
of Denver, bond brokers. In order
that there might, in the opinion of the
commissioners, be no question of the
county obtaining par for the bonds,
the contract, in its salient features,
was about as follows: Keeler Bros,
were to receive $750 in full payment
for their legal services and the print
ing of the bonds. They agreed that
they would take the bonds at the net
price of $30,750, subject to the sale
advertised to take place March 1.
That is, if there were no bid other
than Keeler Bros., the bonds should
bring the price mentioned.
On Feb. 5 the bonds were signed.
sealed and regisered by the county
treasurer, to Keeler Bros., the treas-
customers might see them and be pre
pared for immediate payment, should
the bonds be awarded to the Keelers.
On the day of sale Messrs. Hall &
Lewis, represented by Mr. Small, of
Portland, proved to be the highest bid
ders, bidding $31,910 cash for the
bonds. Keeler endeavored to have an
open auction for the bonds, but this
could not be done under the call. Their
bid was $30,750. The bonds were
awarded to Small and a contract en
tered into at once that the bonds
should be delivered to Hall & Lewis
within ten days, signed, sealed and de
livered within four hours after the
opening of the bids Mr. Brooke, pros
ecuting attorney, attending to this
portion of the matter.
The Keelers meantime drew down
their bid. Upon the commissioners
demanding the bonds it became known
that the bonds had NEVER BEEN
rLACED IN THE DENVER BANK.
Tuesday the commissioners received
notice from Keeler Bros., by wire, that
they had forwarded bank draft for
$30,750 in payment for the bonds in
accordance with their contract with
the county. That the bonds had pass
ed to their customers and that they
considered the transaction closed.
Thus a complicated situation was
in evidence: The county had sold the
bonds to Small while Keeler held them
urer taking Keeler Brothers' receipt in person, refusing to deliver same un
for same, the bonds to be placed In der their contract, claiming a bona fide
the First National Bank of Denver, contract of sale; the county had open
subject to the order of the county com- ly sold the bonds to Small and entered
missioners or treasurer, pending the into a binding contract to deliver them
sale March 1. They asked for the within ten days; Small's money was
bonds to be taken to Denver that their placed in the hands of the bank sub
ject to delivery; Keelers' draft was en
route to pay for the bonds under their
alleged contract.
The commissioners immediately del
egated Judge George E. Davis to pro
ceed to Denver and make formal and
personal demand on the Keelers for
the bonds under the plain wording of
the contract between the Keelers and
the county commissioners. The Judge
returned from Denver Thursday with
out the bonds, and it is now up to the
county commissioners to settle with
Small.
The commissioners accuse the Keel
ers of acting in bad faith and claim
that they are criminally liable for not
placing the bonds in the Denver bank
as agreed between them. Small
claims the bonds and demands fulfill
ment of his contract with the county.
Attorney Brooke arrived in Vale
Thursday and received the report from
Judge Davis as to his Denver trip.
One thing is quite settled in the
minds of all concerned, which is this:
There has been a bona fide bid accept
ed for $31,910 for the bond issue and
that is what the county must receive.
If through mismanagement by the
county officials there is any loss it
must not and will not be permitted to
Popular Ontario
Hotel Is Sold to
Portland Man
The Moore Hotel has changed hands.
W. U. Sanderson, owner of the Moore
hotel at Ontario has sold out to I. A.
Yerex, of Portland. The price of the
exchange is not known. Mr. Sander
son has run the hotel on metropolitan
plans and added much glory to the
capacity of eastern Oregon to enter
tain travelers. The improvements
made in the hotel business of Ontario
has added much to the favorable men
tion of that town in many other circles.
Mr. Yerex is a well known capitalist

whatever he does is always well done.
Those of Vale and other towns who
have been so well cared for by Mr.
Sanderson may expect the same kind
treatment from Mr. Yerex.

Young Ladies
Face Hardships
For Homesteads
The most daring homesteaders of
the northwest are the young ladies,
who go into the deep interior country
to take up land, and who face the vic
issitudes and dangers of frontier life
as cheerfully as Crockett, Carson or
any of the old trail blazers of the ear
ly days.
Malheur and Harney counties have
several young lady homesteaders, who
have bet Uncle Sam $10 against 160
acres of land that they can live five
years on the land and eat three meals
a day while on the job. And they are
all making good.
Miss Zethra Blaisdell, from North
Yakima, is one of these, and she has
selected a homestead 80 miles in the
interior country, over the Harney
county line in the Beckley country.
She was in Vale Monday on her way
to the home ;tead, after a visit to her
former home at North Yakima. She
is a young lady with a purpose, and it
is safe to say that she will win out,
for she not only intends to live the
necessary time upon her claim and im
prove it, but declares she is glad to
get back to the grand old country of
magnificent distances and the happy
frontier life.

Vale Band to
Give Concert
On Sunday
If there is anything the people of
Vale are prouder of than they are of
their brass band, it has not yet come
to light. And it is a band that a city
of 50,000 population might well be
proud of. Every member is a musi
cian and an artist on his particular
instrument.
The band is 'practicing regularly,
and it is reported that arrangements
are being perfected for an open air
concert to be given on the streets to
morrow afternoon, if the summer
weather continues.
A cement chute has been built in at
the rear of the store, where goods
may be run into the basement from
the alleyway, avoiding the necessity
of having them brought through the
store.
The addition of the basement prac
tically doubles the capacity of the
Freeman store for handling all kinds
of goods, in addition to keeping the
extra supplies in better condition.
ENTERPRISE LANDS
CORVALUS SETTLERS
Joseph Flory, of Corvallis, and
Boyd Watson, of Portland, arrived in
Vale Monday in search of homestead
lands, having recently read about the
great Malheur country in a copy of
the Enterprise handed them in Port
land.
They will take their time and look
the country over carefully before lo
eating, knowing the great abundance
of homestead lands in this county to
t elect from, and will no doubt find
just what they want.
Mr. Flory also has some property
in Western Oregon which he may ex
change for property in this section of
the state.
IVOR WILLIAMS
BACK FROM BOISE
Ivor Williams returned the first of
the week from a trip to Boise, where
he had been on a brief business trip.
Mr. Williams has fed 4000 head of
sheep at Jamieson the past winter,
and states that they wintered in splen
did condition. He has commenced
sending thorn out to the hills, and be
lieves the weather will justify send
ing them all out within a few days.
The lamb crop, he says, is reported
well up to the average in every part of
the county heard from.
"I have lost a number of sheep this
winter," said Mr. Williams, "from the
effects of this no-called hydrophobia.
I lost one only a few days ago. I have
had my sheep in the feed corrals all
winter, and none of them have had any
opportunity of being bitten for more
than two months."

A meeting of the Chamber of Com

the subject of the Warm Springs res
ervoir project.
This project is considered of vital
importance to citizens of Vale. That
prosperity may come to Vale, Vale
must prepare the road. The partial
report made by the committee Monday
night last indicated that no assistance
may be expected from the state or
government.

GOOD ROADS DAY

A call has been made by the coun

DAY and March 30 has been set aside
as a day for all residents of Malheur
county to put in on bettering the coun
ty roads.
"If every farmer with his team,
said Judge McKnight, would put in one
day in dragging, fixing mud holes,
grading, or hauling gravel, as he con
sidered best, much improvement would
soon be noticed in our roads. This
day is Bet apart for the people. The
various road supervisors will not bo
expected to superintend this work in
more than a possible advisory capacity.
It is a day for the people to do that
which they think best toward improv
ing their roads and we hope for good
results."
