The above is a picture o f Ben
W. Olcutt. secretary o f State and
one o f the members o f the State
Desert I .and Board.
As an official and as a citizens
Mr. Olcutt has interested himself
in existing conditions between
the irrigation companies and wat­
er users in the state, and has
emphatically declared that he
will use his utmost efforts to see
that the water users are protect­
ed in their contracts and the ir­
rigation companies be compelled
to deliver the water they have
taken the settlers’ money for.
In a recent letter to a Red­
mond citizen Mr. Olcott says:
"T h e present Desert Land
Board hopes to be o f considerable
benefit to the settlers in Oregon
under the Carey Act projects. I
own a little irrigated land my­
self in the project in your vicin­
ity, my interests lying 5 miles
east o f Bend. Four or five o f us
joined our interests and formed
what is known as the Pilot Butte
Ranch Co.
We have 920 acres
and have spent a whole lot o f
money trying to make something
o f it, and thus contribute our
little share to the proposition o f
making two blades o f grass
where one had grown before.
" I t is hard, uphill work, and
though we have given it the best
management at our command, it
has, at times, been most dis­
couraging. I have grubbed sage
brush and junipers, and bucked
lava rock until I thought my back
never would be right again, and
I know exactly what those set­
tlers are up against,
" I think it high time that some
o f the J. Rufus Wallingfords o f
the mesas o f Central Oregon be
brought to account, and it is in
the cards that they will b e".

The colonists coming this fall
are a different class o f people to
those who came to Oregon last
spring, generally speaking. They
are people who have money to
invest, and they want to settle
down in a country that has a fu­

We have the country, and we
need these new comers to settle
here, and the only way to get
them is to go after them, the
same as other localities will.
