Important Move
Toward Development
Two important moves relative
to reclamation and irrigation de
velopment of the state are prom
ised in the next few weeks. One
of these will be a meeting be
tweed the Desert Land Borad,
the Central Oregon Development
Company and the settlers on
that company's lands to straight
en out difficulties and listen to
complaints. The other will be a
showdown on the Columbia South
ern project. The Oregon-Washington-Idaho
Finance Company,
which has undertaken to take
over lhe Columbia Southern proj
ect, has until November 1 to do
so, or the contract will be canceled.
Numerous complaints have
been received relative to the Cen
tral Oregon Development Com
pany. This company took over
the old Deschutes Irrigation &
Power Company's defunct proj
ect near Bend, and has been con
tinuing the work, but from the
nature of the complaints the
company's handling of the proj
ect has not been altogether satis
factory. Among other things a settler
was arrested for breaking a head
gate. The settler said that he
could not get enough water, and
took summary means to secure
the water. His case was dis
missed. Others settlers are
complaining that water is insuffi
cient, that the company is not
taking proper steps for the con
struction of the north canal, as
provided for in a suplemental
contract, and additional com
plaints of varied nature are be
ing heard.
The meeting will be held to
hear all sides of the story, and
some members take the attitude
that if all of the settlers' com
plaints are true, drastic meas
ures should follow to aid the set
tlers. The Columbia Souihern proj
ect Las been hanging fire for
years and has gone through many
trials and tribulations. It is
probable if nothing is accom
plished by November 1 that the
Board will immediately can
cel all contracks and refuse fur
ther to allow companies to take
B'eps unless they can abslutely
show that there is sufficient mon
ey in sight to finish the work on
it.
Under the proposed plan of
the Oregon-Wasnington Idaho Fi
nance Company, that company
desires a lien of f 60 an acre, but
agrees to reduce the lien to old
settlers coming in under the new
contract to 150 an acre. Then
the company desires to reim
burse all former contract holders
not actually settlers. In order
to raise the amount necessary
the plan is to furnish old con
tract holders preferred stock
in leiu of cash, and about half of
these holders have accepted on
these terms. If the company
can succeed in handling this end
of the plan, it believer, accrding
to a statement of the Board, it
will be able to finance the balance
of the plan through the sale of
additional lands.
This project embraces 7,000
acres in Crook county on the
west side of the Deschutes river,
near Laidlaw. The segregation
was made on behalf of the Three
Sisters Irrigation Company,
which proposed to reclaim the
lands from the regular flow of
Tumalo creek. The contract be
tween this company and the
State Land Board was executed
in December, 1902, and provided
for a total lien of ?277,0O0. This
company subsequently assigned
its interests to the Columbia
Southern Irrigation Company,
which in turn assigned its inter
ests to the Columbia Southern Ir
rigating Company.
The company sold water rights
for 17,929 acres in the segrega
tion and 13G0 acres outside. Be
fore construction had advanced
far it was discovered that the
regular flow of the waters of
Tumalo creek was sufficient for
the irrigation of only about 2,000
acres. The water rights were
sold at an average price of a lit
tle over $ 10 aa acre.
The Board endeavored to have
the company complete reclama
tion by a storage plan, but the
company refused and a receiver
was appointed for the company
and the Attorney-General direc
ted to bring suit for cancellation
of the company's project. This
suit was decided adversely to the
state. Siuce then the Oregon-Washington-Idaho
Finance Com
pany obtained an option on the
company's holdings and arrange
ments were made in a contract
between this company and the
Board for financing the plan.
This expires November 1.
State News.
A step of permanent construc
tive benefit was that taken last
Saturday night at the 1'ortland
Commercial Club, when business
men gathered at a dinner to dis
cuss the benefits of recent ex
cursions to Klamath Falls, Cen
tral Oregon and Aberdeen, Wash.
The big dining room was rilled
by men of affairs and the expe
riences given and the policy out
lined for future excursions were
of great value. The meeting de
veloped into a symposium on the
attitude of PortUnd business
men to outside territory in the
two states and was a survey of
conditions existing fnom Aber
deen to Klamath and in Central
Oregon. The result will be a
closer tie between Portland and
the outlying country and this
promises to be of great aid in
future development.
Redmond will hold a potato
show on November 2. This is
the date the O.-W. R. & N. dem
ontt ration train arrives at Red

rounding country to Redmond
At the same time a meeting of
dairymen will be held to organ
ize an association.
An apple tree near Albany has
been sold for 8600. It is ever

A nursery company has bought
the tree and will try to establish
a new everbearing variety.
Dairymen, butter and cheese
makers will gather in Portland
December 6, 7 and 8 for the an
nual convention and special plans
are under way to make this year's
gathering the largest and most
interesting ever held. Experts
from the East will be in attend
ance to judge the different exhib
its, of which there will be many,
and well known authorities on
various topics of interest will de
livered addresses. There will
be more and better prizes offered
than ever before.
Eugene will hold its biggest
apple show on November 3 and
4, the coming exhibit throwing
all previous shows far in the
shade. The annual fruit exhi
bition is growing all the tima In
importance because of incroas
ing orchard acreage around Eu
gene, and this year the festival
will take on mora than local in
terest. Prizes have been offered
that make it an object tor fruit
growers to compete.
Lakeview will add agriculture
to its high school course as soon
as its new building is finished.
This is a new and important fea
ture of the course of study and
one that progressive communi
tiesare adopting.
