JUDGE WAYH1RE AT THE HEAD Keir Company Will Be Organized IVltli Large Capital to Take Up "Work, of Oregon Irrigation Company. Judge James A. Waymlre. of San Fran cisco, and Benton Klllin and C. a Hutch inson. o this city, returned last evening from an Inspection of the Deschutes Val iv with reference to Its Irrigation possi bilities. They spent 10 days driving over the country on the east siae 01 uc k -Pioina to the southern boundary of Crook County, and awa out .v. .4,a-.i v,0vnnii Prinevllle. They examined sites for head works for irriga tion ditches along the river, ana muue reconnolssance of between 400.000 and 500.- vnt ct-nniri fall under the ditches to be constructed in pursuance ot the project they have In mina. Mr. Hutchinson Is now president of tne Oregon Irrigation Company, which has j tVirmnri survey of tne Deschutes country, and which applied last -cn nr xcith the state for the reclamation of about 1C0.O00 acres. That application was found to oe in cohiucl with one from the Pilot Butte Develop ment Company, of which A. M. Drake Is the bead. That company applied for a contract to irrigate S5.000 acres in the vl .i.itf f -noTi Aftr n. short delay the Oregon Irrigation Company withdrew its application and the other company got its contract. But there Is yet a great deal of land in the Deschutes Valley susceptible of Irrigation that nobody has appuea ior. This, it is understood, is what Messrs. irnin.iri miiin iiTirt wtitchlnson were ex amining. Judge Waymlre last night said it was the Intention to organize a new company with much larger capital than via firomn irricrntlon ComDany has. and to proceed with reclamation works in ac cordance with the Carey law. xms new company will succeed to all the rights o,i nmnnrtv nf th Oreeon Irrigation Company, and will take up the work where tife old corporation now rests, inis -win rrifo if n nront ndvantace In the matter of time over any other company that can. enter the field. "Still, a work of this magnitude cannot ho nut thrmich In a dav " said Judge Way mlre, "and I think it will be two years before our main ditches will be compieiea and the land really opened to productive fnrmintr Tint -tvhnt n. country that will be! It will support a denser population than Western Oregon will. The soil is frlahlp. nnd can be tilled at any season of the year. Absolutely the only thing lacking is water, and when we put water on the land thero will be hardly a limit to Its agricultural possi ViiiHino Tt t n. hpnutlful country, too. with an equable and invigorating climate and in full view of the snow-crested range to the westward. I regard It as offering the best opportunity today that can be found in tne United states." Whnt th onnltallzatlon of the new com pany will be, or just the extent of land that will be reclaimed by it, are details that Viflvn nnt vrt hpen ttle&. JudtTG Waymire will leave this morning for the south, stopping over between traino at Balem to ascertain precisely the condition of the record of the present company and application. Then he will go to Califor nia, and he expects to return In two or three weeks to perfect arrangements for putting the new enterprise in the field. He has been extensively engaged in irri gation projects in California, his latest work having been in the construction of a system of irrigation ditches In Stanis laus County, in the San Joaquin Valley. He has a complete construction plant ready to bring to Oregon and set to work in the Deschutes Valley. Judge Waymlre is an Oregon pioneer. He spent his early life here, and was ad mitted to the bar in Oregon. He removed to California in 1S72. and has had an ac tive career there. Of late years his activ ities have been chiefly In connection with irrigation matters. In their legal aspect and in practical construction and opera tion, and he is deemed well qualified for prosecuting that work in Oregon. have California Join In the meeting, and one of the ercatest musical events ee given on the Coast will be given. Th rnorts of thl6 year's meeting at Seattle show that It was one of the moat successful musical festivities ever given by the organization. All speak very hlehlv of the Portland singers that at tended, and especially of the baritone solos of Paul Wesslnger. PROSPEROUS WASCO. State Senator Johnwton Predict Iteeord-Brcaklng Harvests. Rtnto Sonntnr T TT. .Tnhnston. Of Dufur. who is in the city for a short visit, says that the present year is one of the most prosperous in tne nistory ot County. "Crops of all kinds, are larger than ever," said Mr. Johnston last even ing, "and it can truthfully be said that Wasco County, in fact, all of Eastern Oregon, is prosperous to the highest de gree, xne wool cup ot uiw cxi a large one, and the prices high enoush to bring handsome profits to the sheep- owners. Tne cattle DUSinesa nuu.li w carried on extensively in and around Dufur is another source of revenue, while the raising and fattening or nogs is also a profitable business. Wasco County is one of the banner counties of the state. as far as wheat is concerned, tne out put from the region 'about Fifteen-Mile Creek amounting to sometning unc w,- 000 bushels each year. Crop failures are unknown in our county, anu tnose who ki'l- -r.. iim in n land of sand and sage brush would be agreeably surprised If the should take a turn tnrougn County and look at our bountiful fields and fat cattle. When we get a railroad through the Interior ol wasco vounty n-o thi! hnvA a hlchwav over which to Mnsnnrt nnr products to the markets. This will be a great blessing to the region that we think is second to none in Oregon." Mr. Johnston is a hold-over Senator from Wasco County. CHARLESTON EXHIBIT. Owing to Misunderstanding, Is Still In Cars. The remains of the Oregon exhibits at Buffalo and Charleston arrived at Port land some time ago. but delivery of them is delayed by a misunderstanding with the railroads. Bv arrangement with the trans portation companies the exhibits were to be conveyed East and returned for the regular freight charge one way. Seven carloads went East and three have re turned. But, by some error or other the three cars got switched off from the Northwestern line, on which road they had gone East, and went to St. Paul. Thence they went to Spokane over the Great Northern. The freight charges assessed against the three cars at first amounted to ?900, but this has narrowed down to about $250, the bill of the Great Northern. The O. R. & N. authorltleo have taken up the trouble, and will probably assimilate hte charges. Until settlement is reached the exhibits will He in storage. H. E. Dosch has arranged to put the exhibits on display at 246 Washington street as soon as they are obtained. This addition to the permanent exhibit at that place is needed very much. Mr. Dosch says the supply brought homo is large enough to furnish not only this exhibit, but another equally large, If the city de sires to establish one. It has been pro posed to set up another exhibit at the depot and to xalse by subscription $2500 for that purpose. ' i SHIELDS' AMATEURS.

London . Academy. From time to time we hear of some melancholy connection between great lit erature and petty larceny. Such a case la brought to the public notice by Mrs. Ifcwls In the Expositors' Times. Leaf 101 of the Lewis Syrlac palimpsest has dis appeared from the library of the monas tery on Mount Sinai. Mrs. Lewis gives a fac simile of it and says that she missed It at Mount Sinai last February, but the monks had already discovered their loss. "I was Informed that a party of several scholars had worked for some time at that MS. during the course of last sum mer, and it Is safe to suppose that a fair number of passing travelers had been per mitted not only to look at It, but also to handle It. My surmise is that one of these latter, wishing to make an addition to his J own collection of curios, had slipped the . leaf between the pages of a book In the j fond belief that It would never be missed, i The man who knowingly Injures a fourteenth century codex of the Gos- I pels commits an act of sacrilege." Mrs. Lewis wishes the purlolncr to return, the lost leal to her, in wn.cn case it wmvDe replaced In the codex and no questions will be askfcd. Tnllj-ho Struck: by Trolly Car-. DENVER. July 31. Fifteen persons were Injured In a tallyho coach which waa struck by a trolley car and overturned. The accident occurred at the corner of Alameda and Pearl streets. Mrs. L. A. Horton, of 1S30 Grant avenue, received Internal Injuries which may prove fatal. C. J. McMillan, the bugler, received in juries to hia spine which are serious and may result in death. The others, who were mostly tourists, were not seriously Injured, although seven of thm were painfully bruised and all were badly shaken up. The flret stamped envelopes were Issued la 1S53, ot the two denominations of 3 nnd S cnt. and it was not until two years later that the 10-cent envelope was added.
