One reason for-the large clips
is the fact that last year the price
of lambs wetit so low that many
more sheep were carried over in
proportion to the usual number
thus making the flocks a great
deal bigger this year.

A dispatch from Deschutes to
the Portland Journal says that
the prospects for a bounteous
crop in ceutral Oregon this sea
son are excellent. The soil is full ,
of water from the heavy winter
rains which have continued at in
tervals until now. Irrigation
water, in consequence, has not as
yet been called upon heavily.
The weather has been hot and all
vegetation is growing rapidly.
Alfalfa und red clover fields are
looking fine and indications are
that first cuttings will be made
about June 10.
The Central Oregon Irrigation
company, whose construction and
general offices are located here,
completed placing a large stave
pipe flume across the canyon
separting the Terrebonne district
from the Redmond . district,
Thursday. Water was turned into
the pips at 8 o'clock that eveuing ,
The pipe is 30 inches in diameter
and nearly one-half mile long.
It will carry water sufficient to
irrigate 8000 acres, most of which
has already, been filed on by set
tlers under the Carey act.
Residents of the Terrebonne
district are planning a celebration
in appreciation of this event.
