Through the issuance of patent
to the Hate of 40,000 acrei of land
in Crook county, which li betas-
reclaimed by the Denchotea Irriia
tion a Power company, the de
partment of the interior haa aet
the government's atamp of ap
proval on the largest private irri
gation project in the United
States.
The list of landa was approved
by the government officials in
Washington the last of the week
within a short time deeds to thia
area will be conveyed to the state
of Oregon. Immediately after
wards settlers who vhave complied
witn me rules and regulations of
the state land board and paid off
the lien against the land which
the company holds for providing
it . . . . .
me iracu wtib water will secure
title to their acreage
The action of the department is
looked upon both by the company
and the many settlers in western
Crook county as exceedingly fav
orable The 40.000 4 acrea will
ithin a short time be in the
hands of actual settlers who have
transformed a wilderness into an
mmenselv productive region.
ADD VAST WEALTH TO COUNTY
This vast acrease will add at
the present " price per acre,
11,000,000 to the wealth of Crook
county and will become taxable
property infmediately upon issu
ance of deeds from the state to the
settlers.
The list of lands approved and
passed to patent by the department
in Washington includes two appli
cations made by the state. In
November, 1905, the Deschutes
Irrigation & Power company com
pleted the reclamation of 14,000
acres and applied for patent Ten
months later an additional acreage
of 25,000 acres had been reclaimed
and patent applied for.
Owing to unfounded rumors re
garding the operations of the com
pany, no action was taken towards
patenting the lands and some un
easiness was felt by hundreds of
s ettlers who had purchased tracts
under the canals and were making
homes , in the district. Finally
Secretary, Garfield visited the
coast and soon afterwards United
States District Attorney Bristol
and Inspector Neohausen visited
Crook county on a tour of special
investigation.
Evidently the reports of the
latter two were of the most favor
able nature. Neuhausen's report
was forwarded to the department
the first of last month and almost
immediately afterwards the tracts
were approved.
DISTRICT OF GREAT PRODCCTIVEMES8
The lands to which settlers will
now receive undisputed title lie in
the vicinity of Bend and Redmond
and are among the most fertile in
the whole Deschutes region. Im
mense crops have been harvested
from areaa which a few years ago
furnished poor food for ranee
o
stock. Now the country is an un
interrupted field of grain1 and
other produce, and hundreds of
new people are finding homes and
profitable areas of development
under the company's irrigation
system.
In addition to the 40,000 acres
approved for patent, the company
is engaged in reclaiming kn addi
tional acreage of nearly 200,000
acres. Nearly $1,000,000 has been
expended in the construction of
canals and laterals which wind for
miles over the valley and to the
remotest corners of the segrega
tion. Approximately 275 miles of
canal work has been completed
and is in active operation. The
company began its work in the
spring of 1904, since which time it
has maintained heavy forces of
engineers and construction crews
to hasten the work. Portland

worn the period re

T. II. Jones, who has been run
ning a lunch counter in Danly 4
Chambers' saloon, has been ar
rested on a charge of grand lar
ceny. In other wordo, he is ac
cused of buying stolen property.
Several complaints were made
to Sheriff Elkins recently about
petty thieving and that officer
quietly set about an investigation.
The first complaint to be looked
into was the loss of groceries that
were stored in the old brewery
just north of the Ochoco bridge.
These goods had been shipped to
ranchers by Bartell Bros, of Port
land and were stored at the old
brewery until called for. The
boys about town soon got onto
that fact and it was not long until
certain of the goods were missing.
The sheriff took up the case at this
point and soon located the stolen
goods and the persons that were
responsible for the change of loca
tion. T. II. Jones was found to
be the guiding spirit. From an
examination held Monday it was
shown that Jones received the
stolen property and encouraged the
boys to steal more. The lads
took rice, beans, macaroni and
coffee. Some of the goods stolen
were found in a house north of
th red lights district. A 3ft.
pound drum of coffee and some
other things were found there.
Jones furnished the bovs with
Backs to get the goods and when
they were delivered paid them a
dollar for the swag. As the young
fellows had been eatin? at the
lunch counter they owed a small
bill to its proprietor. This, of
course, was wiped out with the
delivery of the stolen property.
Jones had a hearing before Jus
tice Luckey and was bound over
to the grand jury.
