EHtablinhmenl of the automo
hile line of Central Oregon Trans
orlation Oompanj', which will
operate between Crons Keys and
Bend, a distance of 75 miles, cover
ing nil of the distance between the
end of the Columbia Southern
Railroad at Shaniko and Bend,
except 18 mi leg, iH of the ' greatest
importance in development of
Central Oregon and wi!l be in
strumental in much moro rapid
population of that section. The
first of the three automobiles for
the service will go into commission
the first of next week nd the
other machines will follow soon.
President A. E. Hammond, of
the company, formerly chief en
gineer of the Columbia Southern
Railroad, accompanied the first
machine on its initial trip out
from Shaniko today. The com
pany has its own roadway, con
structed on easy grades, and fol
lowing practically the survey that
will eventually be used for the
tracks of the Columbia Southern
when that line is pushed further
into the interior. One of the
machines will also used for' travel
ing between Forest and Prineville.
This Spring 40,000 acres of the
140,000 acres to be brought under
irrigation during the year by the
DeschuU's Irrigation & Power
Company, is ready for settlement.
Several hundred acres of land al
ready sold and growing fust crops
demonstrate the possibilit'ie of the
section, and ' purchasers of land
have bought tracts scattered over
the entire area, irrespective of
whether water would be provided
in time for this year.,
Water is in thecanals apd car
ried to land ready for each farmer
to construct laterals to distribute
it over his own acreage, the comp
any delivering the water to the
highest point on the land and con
tracting to deliver 30-aere inches
during a period of seven months.
This first complete line known as
the Pilot Butte canal, is about
35 miles long, starting from a
point on the Deschutes River
about four miles from Bend, and
extending nothward to the Crook
ed River, at a point 15 miles eaBt
of Prineville.
For a distance of three-fourths
of a mile from the diverting point
the water is carried in an immense
flume, and a mile from the end of
it is carried out upon the first
tract of land that is brought under
irrigation by its waters.
This canal carries 200 cubic feet
a second, having a bottom width
of 40 feet and top width of 58 feet.
Some laterals have been carried
out from this canal, but . most of
them are yet to be extended.
Twelve miles of the Eastern
Oregon canal is completed, extend
ing eastwaid from this flume,
which will have a complete length
of about 45 miles. The portion
already constructed includes the
heaviest rockwork of the canal and
is 44 feet wide at its . bottom and
U teet wide at tne top, carrying
400 cubic feet of water a second,
suflicient for irrigating 100,000
acres.
Area of the region to be reclaim
ed and made productive as a re
sult of these canals is greater than
the average county of Middle
Western states, and throughout the
entire section not a particle of al
kali land occurs. Wholly survey
ed and cross sectioned by the en
gineers of the state, each 40 acres
has been scheduled for its exact
acreage of irrigable land. Border
ing the land on the southwest is
an immense district of magnificent
timber skirting the Deschutes
Rivet for 75 miles, with local mills
that offer lumber to consumers
at low prices. Bend is near the
southwestern corner, Prineville nt
the northeast. Cline Falls and
Laidlaw an the western becder,
along the Deschutes River, and
Forest on the north.
Located GO miles from Shaniko,
or the end of the Columbia South-
of these roads may soon tap the
section, while the (ireat Southern
extending south from The Dalles
is projected to build to Prineville,
and the Nevada, California & Ore
gon, and Klamath Lake Railroad
are both projected to come into
Central Oregon from the south, so
that transportation, while tempor
arily solved with an automobile
line, is expected to include rail
road trains on tracts of heavy
steel at no distant date.
DATES FOR WOOL
SALES ARE SET
an
as 13
Wool sales dates have been
nounced for Eastern Oregon
follows:
Pendleton May 22, June
and June 20.
Heppner May 25, June 9, June
20 and June 29.
Shaniko June C, June 23, and
Julv i:
The dates were made by the ex
ecutive committee of the Oregon
Woolgrowers' Association, and
are arranged after consultation
with the woolb:iyers, who are now
in Southern California and Arizona.
On the sales days this year, ar
in the past three seasons, there
will be sealed bids for each clip of
wool to be sold, and the clip will
go to the highest bidder. Under
this system it is said that at least
a cent and a half more per pound
is secured than under the old plan
of selling the wool.
It is expected that the first
Pendleton sale this season will be
a noteworthy one, both for the
prices paid and the amount sold.
But a small percentage of this
I year's Umatilla clip has been con
tracted fur in advance, as most
growers'are expecting good prices
and have waited for the sales days.
J. II. Gwinn, secretary of the
Woolgrowers' Association, states
that he believes at least 4 cents
more per pound will be received
this year than was gotten for the
same grade and character of wool
last season. This estimate he
bases partly upon the trend of the
market where wool has already
been sold, in Arizona and New
Mexico. This year it has aver
aged between 4 and 5 cents more
per pound in those territories.

Semi-Annual Statement
Of the Treasurer of Crook County, Oregon, for the six month
ending March 31st, 1905, of Moneys received and paid out, from
whom received and from what source, and on what account paid out
PUBLIC DIPPING VATS
BUILT AT ANTELOPE
em, and about .the same distance
from the end of tho Corvallis &
Eastern Railroad at Idahna, either
Frank Kincaid is making ar
rangements to build large public
vats near his shearing corrals at
this place, for the accommodation
of 8heepmen who have sold sheep
for shipment from Shaniko says
the Antelope Herald. Under
the federal regulations sheep
which are to be shipped out of the
state must be dipped, regardless
of whether they are clean or dis
eased, and they must be dipped
under the tupervision of a federal
inspector. There are only three
of these inspectors in the state of
Oregon, and the amount of-terri-tory
to be covered by them does
not give them much time for mak
ing trips of any distance from the
railroad, and for this reason pub
lic dipping-vats near the shipping
points are an absolute necessity
In the neighborhood of a hundred
thousand sheep have been sold
in this vicinity, for shipment from
Shaniko, and unless the best facil
ities can be had for dipping them,
considerable delay and confusion
will result to shippers when their
sheep are brought in to the rail
road.
It is to meet this demand that
Mr. Kincaid has decided to build
public vats. They will be built
with a blind chute, and will be
capable of handling 5000 sheep
per day. They will be located so
that the city water can be used.
and sufficient range will be secured
for the sheep to be dipped here.
In addition to facilitating the ship
ment of sheep from Shaniko under
the present federal requirements
dipping at the public vats will be
less expensive than where each one
must make his own arrangements
for dipping. The dipping-vats
will be built at once, and will be
ready Deiore tne nrst sheep are
brought in for shipment.
