Narrow Escape From Lightning The Rev. J. T. Moore had a close all from instant death Monday afternoon during a severe thunder torm that swept over this part of Crook county. Mr. Moore was itting in the dining room of his hom e about two miles from Prine ville when an unusually vivid flash of lightning was accompanied by a crash of thunder and then followed a smell of burnt powder. This is all Mr. Moore knows about t. He was picked up insensible. A bolt struck the chimney, passed down the outside of the stovepipe and struck the floor beside Mr. Moore's chair. There was a re port like a pistol shot then the lightning seemed to scatter in all directions. The only damage done outside of a very severe shock to the reverend gentleman was a burnt spot in the carpet about an inch in diameter. Mr. Moore has been confined to bis bed as a result of the shock. Crook County Railroad According to the Madras Pioneer the contracts are let and work has commenced on the Oregon Trunk Line up the Deschutes valley. It says: "this statement coming from the chief engineer of the Ore gon Trunk Line, is authentic, and there is no longer reason to doubt that the road will be built at once. in spite of the numerous disap pointments that Central Oregon has experienced in the past, there has been a tendency to put faith in the promises of the Oregon Trunk Line since that line was first surveyed up the Deschutes during the past winter- At that time, both Mr. Nelson and Mr. Gordon cave out the statement that the line would he built as far as Madras at once, and the infor mation contained in Mr. Gordon's recent letter indicates that they aie going to make good their prom ises. Right of way has been se cured for the entire distance, ex cepting through a few forties near Sherar's bridge, and condemnation proceedings have been begun against these. Certain restric tions contained iu the right of way contracts, limiting the time in which work must begin, gave an air of substantiality to the repre sentations of the Oregon Trunk Line people that work would be started at once."

CROOK COUNTY LOOKS GOOD To Governor George L Chamberlain. FINE OPPORTUNITIES Here for tie Homeseeker and for the Investor Good Land Cheap and Plen tiful. "Spendid irrigable land can be had in Crook County for $15 an acre, which in five years will be worth 1100 to 150 an acre, and if I were a young man I certainly would take advantage of this rare opportunity and go there to make my fortune." This is an expression of the con fidence Governor Chamberlain has in the irrigation projects along the Deschutes River, which he visited this week' in company with other members of the State Land Board Uovernor (Jnamoerlain, who re turned yesterday with the party, is delighted with the progress that has been made, and is highly en' thusiastic over the rapid develop ment of that section of the state. He says that within a very short time the great tracts of irrigable lands along the Deschutes River in the vicinity of Bend, will have been converted into a veritable agricultural paradise. "We are particularly pleased with the thorough and business like manner of the Deschutes Irri gation & Power Company in push ing its work, and are eminently satisfied with the Tway it ha handlea the project, it is sparing no expense upon the construction of its system of irrigation works, is making rapid progress, and is com plying with the rules laid down by the State Land Board, so we have no complaint to make whatever "The company has some irrigat ed land for sale, but is making no special effort to dispose of it. The officials are directing all their energies to the completion of the project, which will irrigate more that 100,000 acres, and when it is done there will be plenty of time in which to dispose of the land. The land is as rich and as pro ductive as can he found in almost any place, and all persons can have an opportunity to profit. The land is selling at about $15 an acre, and it will cost from $5 to $10 an acre more to have it clear ed of the sagebrush. But within five years this will be worth from $100 to $150 an acre. Those who buy this land must pay $1 an acre annually for the maintenance of the ditch. This will cause all of the land to be'farmed, as simu lators could not afford to let this land lie idle. "The farmers who are working small tracts there now are doing!, , , . , . , . . J has surveyed and obtained rights first class, lhey cannot raise enough to feed the people who are already there. Potatoes from Portland have to be hauled in by wagons. Large quantities of agri cultural implements are being shipped in, and there is a consider able influx of settler? of the sub stantial and desirable class." The membeis of the State Land Board who accompanied Governor Chamberlain on the tour of inspec tion to the Deschutes country were: Attorney-General Craw ford, State Treasurer Moore, State Land Agent West and State En gineer Lewis. A difference of opinion exists between the mem bers of the State Land Board and the officials of the Columbia South ern Irrigation Company, which is at work upon a project to water 28,000 acres of land near Bend State Engineer Lewis contends that the company cannot water io,UtJU acres under the plan con templated, and the board has only j applied for patents from the gov- eminent for 12,000 acres. lie does not think it can irrigate more than 12,000 acres from Tumalo Creek without the construction of a stor age rcne voir, but it is houed that an agreement will he arrived at by the hojjrd and the company within a short time. Portland Oregonian June 22. . - - n h ' ... Crook County , Irrigation -J ' . -It... While the main points 'of the following article were covered by the Journal a fw weeks ago, there were many details which at that time were not obtainable. ..These details will lie found in the follow ing article taken from the Port land Journal of June 14. It says; Charts and sjecifica lions lor con struction of the irrigation canal of the Madras Irrigation & Power company, a new Crook county pro ject to cost $1,000,000, were filed in the state bouse at oalenx. The canal will irrigate more than 100,000 acres in Willow creek bas in, and is expected to increase im mensely the prosperity of southern Crook county. : The company will take water from the Deschutes river.. At the point of diversion will be built a dam 70 feet high between the per pendicular walls of the canyon through which -the river flows. rhe dam will be of concrete. .60 feet thick at the base, 30 feet thick at the top and 170 feet long. It will be one of .the greatest dams on the coast. Power plants will be constructed at this dam and also at a point on the Crooked river, where the canal will be carried across the Crooked river canyon on a steel trestle 2,800 feet long and 888 feet above the waters of the stream. The project has been sur veyed and planned by Donald Fitzgerald, a noted New York en gineer, and is financed in the east. It is proposed to place water on the districts known as Big Agency Plains, Little Agency, Haystack and Lamonta. The soil is a vol canic ash that already raises wheat and other grains with . practically no water in the summer season, and which with .irrigation will be come one of the most fertile sec tion of Oregon, ; ;t With the completion of the Mad ras system there will be four large irrigation plants in Crook county, equipped to . reclaim more than 500,000 acres of land now prac tically arid but, susceptible of be ing brought with water to a state of productivity etiual to any land iu the world. Crook county will in the next few years, it is said, be come one of the richest and nost )opulous counties in . Oregon a startling change from its present physical makeup. , -i .... Two railroad companies, said to represent the Harriman and Hill ytenis respectively are hurrying work preliminary to construction of lines that will penetrate the heart of the irrigated regions, and give rail transportation to Bend and Madras. The Oregon Trunk Line, promoted by W. F. Nelson, And en i iiwictttl it Iia a Hill mad of way from the mouth of the Des chutes river to Madras, about 80 miles, and it is announced that construction work will be com menced within the next two weeks. From the opposite direction, at a connection with Ilarriman's pro posed line through central Oregon, a route has been surveyed and a road will be built through Madras and across the Crooked river to a point on the Deschutes about the center of the segregated lands of the Deschutes Irrigation & Power company. These roads will give the country rail competition. The Deschutes river road will pull freight down the Deschutes to the Columbia river and thence to Port land. The Harriman line will take the traffic via central Oregon over the Cascades at Crescent lake aud down the Willamette river to Portland. , Loggers Wanted. The tlrizaly Lake Lumber Co. wants log gers.
