$70,000 Obtained to Improve McKenzie Pass Tho road over tho McKenzie pass Into the Willamette valley In dimply ft fright fur auto travel. There has been no rain for a long time and travel has dug ruts and chuck holes until It li almost Impossible to get along. C. K. Seitz, supervisor of the CaHrade national forest and iMne county olllcials are doing their best to level and straighten grade and put the road In a passably sIibihj. Thov have accomplished much but there Ih an awful lot of work yet to be done before the mountains can be crossed with any degree of comfort. The forestry officials have re cently made an allowance of 1 70, 000 to prosecute the good roads work on the pass and In addition between 12000 anil 13000 will be given yearly for maintenance with in the forest reserve. With thin amount available additional men and machinery will be put to work and kept there until tho snow fulls. Travel across the mountains has been unusually heavy this year. Autos, ha:ks, wagons, horseback rider and even (Hidestrians can be met on a trip across. I .ant Friday three autoa and one hack left Bel knap Springs for I'rineville. A good many Indians are moving to the valley for hop picking. People from Texas were anxious to get to a country that had an occasional rainfall. Several immigrant wagons were met on the way over. A man with a team can always get a job hauling cars up steep grades. In a few years It will be different but juHt at present make up your mind for a good hard trip if you travel by auto.

Ivunistra. a zwir May Suspend Work on Turaalo Project Salem, Ore., Aug. 20 Suspension of work on the Tumalo project be fore It Is completed will result if the proposition by Attorney General Crawford is adopted by the desert land board. Crawford today ad dressed a letter to tho board In which he asserted that a refund of 150,000 on original contracts has not been made, and that suspension of work September 1st will prob ably bo necessary In order to meet it The legislature appropriated 450,000 for the project, 1200,000 to be expended in 1913, and $250, 000 In 1914, but the refund on the original contracts held by settlers when the project was tbken over by the state must be taken care of. At one time It was estimated 180,000 would be necessary, but many of the settlers have signed up and less than $50,000 may now bo required. Crawford pointed out that the last report of Project Engineer Laureguard, dated August 10, showed that 1357,404 58 has been exK'nded. Crawford's letter caused a dis cussion bv members or the desert lurid board. Governor West de clared thai the suggestion was not made in good faith by the attorney general, but merely for the pur pose of embarrassing Engineer Lauregaard. The governor as serted thut Lauregaard had fol lowed a plan to have all the settlers sign up new contracts, if possible, and In cose they did not want to sign he sent people who wished to buy lands to them. In this way the refund is reduced to a considerable extent.' The board finally decided to take no action until Engineer Lauregaard comes here and explains the exact status of affairs. The refunds, according to the law, cannot be made until Decem ber, it being the belief that there would be few of them asked after the project was in working order. There is about two months' work left on the project. Immigr ation Commis sion Issues a Booklet For the benefit of homeseekers and prospective settlers in Oregon, the Oregon State Immigration Com mission and the Oregon Develop ment League have issued a booklet of information describing the irri gated lands of the state open for settlement, including a list of pri vately owned lands for sale on the Tumalo irrigation project and the Central Oregon lands. The two projects are located in Crook county in Central Oregon, near the towns of Terrebonne, Redmond, Deschutes, Bend and Prineville. The Central Oregon irrigated lands project was started under pri vate supervision in 1902, but funds for carrying on the work gave out and in 1913 the Oregon state legis lature voted 1450,000 toward the completion of the project. Early in 1914 the desert land board opened part of the land under what is now called the Tumalo Project. The rest of the irrigated district was opened later, making a total of 2.000 acres now open for entry. The new lien on this land has been fixed at between $38 and $40 an acre, to be fixed permanently at some time during the fall. The settler may acquire the land by payment of 10 per cent, the balance to be paid within ten years, with 6 per cent interest on unpaid install ments. If the settler improves one third of the irrigable area each successive year for three years, no installment of principal will be re quired for those years, the deferred payments to be apportioned over the seven remaining years. The lands are described as slightly rolling, for the most part covered with a natural growth or juniper and sage brush, 900 acres of the project bearing merchantable yellow pine timber. There is some settle ment on the project at the present time, dairying and hog-raising being the principal industries followed. The project engineer, O. Laur Powell Butte Sunnyside.
