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."

County High School will le elected

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

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. ,
