Irrigation Plan Pclayed.
Men who have started irrigation

ilear the delay in the matter of get
ting the contract, with the state
authorities settled will operate to
.defeat some of their plana to get
tsettlers into that country this year,
;!ays the Oregonian. For some
(time a colony of about 400 fami
nes of Danes and Bohemians from
.Minnesota and Nebraska has been
xpecting to make a deal for a
ilarge tract in the Deschutes Val
iley that would come under irriga
tion. Three times they have been
put off because of the state of ne
gotiations for the irrigation pro
jects, it not being possible to deal
with them in definite terms. Yes
iterday President Lytle, of the
Columbia Southern Railroad, with
whom the agent of the colonists
lias been in correspondence, receiv'
,cd a letter from Agent J.
Kosharet, dated at Mountain
Home, Idaho, March 1, and run
fling as follows:
"Not having heard from you in
:ome time and being anxious to
settle my people as soon as pos
sible, I write to you to find if you
tiil desire me to look over the
Oregon propssition; and, if
ihow soon could I do so?
I am very anxious to see the
land, as I hae other' propositions
under advisement, and am anxious
to see my people settled,' as they
keep writing m constantly and
will soon lose confidence in the
country if I do not give them a
.definite reply."
This letter was turned over to
Mr. Drake, of the Pilot Butte De
velopment Company, which hs an
.application and contract before
the State Land Board for approv
al. It but added to the annoy
ance he felt over the delay in get
ting his contract approved. When
a reporter asked him what he in
tended to do in the matter, he
said he did not know what he
could do. He hoped it would be
settled very, soon, whether the
State Land Board would make a
contract that the company could
accept. He recognized that the
Oregon law was unlike those of
other irrigation states, and for this
reason it behooved the State Land
Board to proceed carefully, but he
wag inclined to the opinion that
the board had waited until the
time for closing the contract before
making an investigation that
ought to have been made months
ago in order to avoid delay to so
important an enterprise. Still he
hoped all would come out right in
a few days, in time to get the large
colony represented by Mr.
Kosharet.

No Rash Here!
The rush for timber lands
throughout the state this winter is
proving a surprise to old residents.
In the vicinity of Mary's Peak, in
Benton county, twenty-five claims
of 160 acres each were filed on one
day last week. Every tract on the
mountain was taken in two dsys.
They are all under the timber act
which does not require residence,
but where the claimant can get title
in sixty days, by paying $2.50 per
acre. Lebanon Criterion.
If .the fine bodies of timber land
near this place were known to the
eastern people there would be a;
rush here that would astonish the!
natives. A great deal of land has
been taken near the Cascades that j
has been located with lieu land;
scrip and consequently the citizens j
of this county will reap no per-,
ceptible benefit. Had some of the
