The Farmers' Co-O'ierative Ir
rigation awmcialion an organisa
tion of furmert in the IDiystack
iliotrict ban vent a petition to the
secretary of the interior bearing
'00 signatures and axking that a
thorough investigation be made by
the reclamation engineers of the
irrigation possibilities in that sec
tion of the state.
Senator Mitchell bag interested
himself in the matter and bus urg
ed upon the department an early
investigation of this section. The
location of the proposed work has
been studied in a general way by
the engineers of the reclamation
service, and Hie tituation has been
found to be complicated by the
by the fact that the water supply
mu-t apparently be obtained
either from Crooked river, the
summer flow of which is practical;
ly all appropriated, or from the
Deschutes river, the water supply
from which must be carried across
Crooked river valley at great ex-
ene.
It has been found that the lands
which may be watered from the
Deschutes river have to a large ex
tent been selected by the state of
Oregon and will require the great
er part, if not all of the flow of the
Deschutes. The question of water
right therefore is a very serious
one, and undei the circumstances
the reclamation service does not
think it practicable for the govern
ment to go into this region while
the state is attempting to reclaim
large tracts under the 0eration of
the Carey act, or before it is de
finitely known what .astion witl.be.
taken under the contracts made
with the state for the reclamation
of the lands along the Deschutes
river.
SILVER LAKE WANTS WATER
Homes for 10,000 People Says F.
M. Chrisman If Government
Irrigates the Desert Land.
Washington, April 21. The
chief engineer of the reclamation
service has received an interesting
letter from F. M. Chrisman of
Silver Lake, Or., .describing the
numerous natural advantages of
the northern Lake country and
urging its early consideration by
the engineers of the service.
Mr. Chrisman describes this
region as one of unusual attractions
and presenting numerous favor
able sites for the construction of
irrigation works. He calls atten
tion to the fact that the water of
Summit lake, Davis lake, and the
upper waters of east and west Des
chutes can be readily diverted to a
very large area in that section of
the state. He believes each of
these lakes can be readily formed
into a large storage reservoir furn
ishing an ample supply for the
irrigable lands under them.
According to Mr. Chrisman, the
benefit derived from such a govern
ment work would be to maki
homes for at least 10,000 people,
and make productive an immense
area of arid land now practically
worthies. As the lands of the
proposed forest reserve in thi:
region are to be definitely settled
this summer, he deems it advis
able that a preliminary investiga
tion should lie made at once in
connection with the forestry work.
Mr. Chrisman believes that under
the impetus of government work
the Northern lake region would lie
the center of the whole state in
the near future. It is a natural
nlfalfa country wherever water
can be placed on the sage brush
plains. Barley and oats yield
abundantly when irrigated, and
the growing of fruit has proved
successful.
An investigation will be made
early this season by the govern
ment engineers to determine the
feasibilities of constructing a large
irrigation work there.
MORE LANDI'UTIN RESERVE
Department of Interior Withdraws
Several Sections West of the
fjpschute River.
'' .
. In addition to the withdrawal oj
lands made in the Deschutes Val
ley by the Department of Interior
hut summer, the Secretary las
week created a new reserve out of
several sections in 17-10 which
were overlooked a year ago. The
Department is quick to snap up
these few remaining tracts in an
ticipation of settlers taking the
land unto themselves and making
a resilience. In a letter to The
Dalles land office, the Commission
er instructs as follows:
AH the vacant unappropriated
public lands in section 7, sections
17 to 21, both inclusive, and sec
tions 28 to 33, both inclusive, in
township 17 south, range 10 east,
are hereby temjxirarily withdrawn
from settlement, entry, sale or
other disposal, excepting under
the mineral laws, pending deter,
mination as to the advisability of
including said lands within the
Cascade Forest Reserve.
This withdrawal does not oper
ate to prevent the pros)ecting, lo
cating, developing and entry of
mineral lands under the mineral
laws. . ' ,
J. C. CONN'S BODY FOUND
Body of Silver Lake Merchant -Is
Found iu the Brush with Bul
let Hole in the Head. " '
The liody of Creed Conn, the
Silver Lake merchant who myster
iously disappeared several weeks
ago and which was supposed to
haye bee.n washed down Silver Creek
during the high water, was found
last week by Fred Autin, an em
ploye of one of the cattle firms in
that vicinity. The body was
found in the sage brush about a
mile and a quarter from town. A
bullet hole in the right temple
showed the manner of his death.
The body was badly decomposed
from its long exposure to the
weather. Coroner Harris was
summoned and an inquest held,
the jury returning a verdict of self
inflicted death.
Nearly every resident in the
vicinity of Silver Lake was
examined at the inquest which
developed the fact that Mr. Conn
had shot himself twice in his suc
cessful effort to take his life. A
bottle of laudanum was also found
in his pocket, but its contents were
intact. One bullet had passed
through the body and was found
imbedded two inches in the sand
near where the dead man lay.
Mr. Conn disappeared on the
morning of March 4, and although
a systematic search was made U,t
him no clue to his whereabouts
was found until last Thursday
morning. It was supposed from
the first that he had committed
suicide and that his body had been
washed down Silver creek. A love
affair is supposed to have been a
partial cause of the man taking
his life.
