The moat successful and beat at
tended Institute ever held In Crook
county cloaed Friday, October the
twenty -second. The last day waa
unusually full. The school board
held their meeting in the morning
and most of the teachers met with
them. The talk of 8uperlntendunt
Ackernian and I.. It. Alderman were
Interesting and Instructive to both
directors and teacher, aa they clear
ly outlined and defined what should
be the relations between the two a
well aa the duties of both and we
believe tule will tie the mean of ma
terially asMletlng the evolution which
la taking place In the schools of
Crook county, A feature of the
morning He-union wo the present
ation of a cut gin Ix-rry dish and
mirror to Mra. II. I. Ilelknnp by
Mrs. Emma II. Wlekertiham In the

and that they took this means of ex
pressing their appreciation for her
many kindnesses during this and
previous Institute. ,
The afternoon wa spent at the
fair, where through the kindness of
the association both atudenta and
teacher were admitted free. This
I the first School Day that the Crook
County Fair baa had but the success
of the experiment Will make It a
permanent feature of future fair.
The address by I It. Alderman, of
the University of Oregon, who wa
the originator of the School Fair, ad
ded much to the Interest of the oc
casion. He dwelt upon the beneflta
ami advantages of thl department
to the boys and girls and admonished
parents and tear hers to encourage
the boys and girls along Industrial
lines.
In the evening Superintendent
Ackeruian gave a masterful address
on "What May Reasonably be Ex
pected of Our Public Schools." This
was a fitting close to a week of effort
In Improving the system and Improv
ing the teachers along school lines.

Several Tracts Already Pur
chased in Connection
With the Plan.
(Portland Telegram.) '
James J, mil, through the Imttru-
mentality of his Oregon Trunk Line
and lt nubsldiary coporatlou, the
Inland Empire Company has ix-trun
In this Btate what will no doubt l
the greatest colonization and de
Tflopraent ncheme he baa ever set In
motion In any Btate in the North-
went. The colonization project
which in rapidly assuming form Ih
patterned after the upbuilding of
vast regions along the Great North
ern Railroad In Minnesota, Dakota,
Montana and Washington. It tea
combination of settlement and Irri
gation under attractive rates and
terms to homeseekers from the East.
In the gigantic scheme there have
already been purchased 3000 acres of
land in the Agency Plains country
and In the Opal Prairie, the Phillips
Ranch in Crook county, comprising
S00 acres; the Heryford ranch near
Lakeview, for foO.OOO in cash, and
one-half the to wnslte of Madras.
The taking over of the Crooked
river Irrigation project is now en
gaging the attention of the Oregon
Trunk subsidiary company, while
the greatest proposition of all so far
as has been announced la the pur
chase and syndicating of the famous
"P" ranch In Harney county, once
the greatest cattle ranch In the
world. Negotiations are already
under way for this magnificent es
tate of 150,000 acres, which comprises
the fertile and apparently inexhaust
ible valley of the Donner und Biitzen
river. The ranch is 10 miles In width
and 40 miles in length, and is capable
of producing almost any kind of
crop indigenous to the temperate
zone.
These deals are reputed to be only
the beginning of Hill's determination
to be the dominating figure In the
railroad and Industrial development
of the vast Oregon empire In the In
terior. ; 1
The first scheme to be developed
will be that of the Crooked river
irrigation project, upon which the
Government has already made some
preliminary surveys, and as a part
of which a tract of 22,000 acres has
been set aside for a reservoir to store
flood waters and to regulate 'the
flow of the Crooked river below the
damette and above the main Irriga
tion canal. The dam is to be located
at a point about 25 miles above
Prineville. Five miles from Prlne
ville the Intake of the main canal
will be located. The plan Is to make
this irrigation project put something
like 200,000 acres of land under water.
Engineers are now engaged mak
ing surveys to determine just how
much territory can be embraced In
thig project, and the . development
company is to have everything in
shape so that construction work can
be commenced next summer. The
first tonnage of any consequence de
livered into Central Oregon when
the new Hill line taps the territory
will be cement and other structural
material for the Crooked river pro
ject wThlch is to be to all latents and
purposes a - Hill "family- affair."
Heretofore the cost' of getting
structural material for dams, canals
and other irrigation work Into the
