Canal 12 Miles In Length.
BAKER CITT. May 5. (Special.) The
placing upon the market of a large tract
of land lying northeast of this city and
owned by the Baker Irrigation Company,
marks one of the greatest steps in the
progress of the metropolis of Eastern
Oregon. The opening of this body of land
to purchasers Is an event that has been
awaited with interest by a large num
ber of homeseekers of Baker City and vi
cinity, who have been watching the pro
gress of the irrigation ditch since work
commenced on it about IS months ago.
The canal heads in the Powder River
about eight miles south of Baker City,
and ater following the tortuous contour
of the valley and the hillside for a dis
tance of 12 miles, reaches the reservoir
site, one mile east of this city. Along a
good portion of the mountain side above
South Baker the cana! has. at great ex
pense, been cut into the solid rock, thus
obviating the ue of the cheaper but tem
porary wooden flume. The company has
not spared any expense to provide against
any accident that would deprive it of the
water at the critical period of irrigation
work, and at one point near Sutton Creek
a long line of flume has been dispensed
with by making an Immense fill of earth.
4 , Instal Big Syphon.
The problem of crossing Sutton Creek
and the O. R. & N. right of way was
successfully solved by the use of what
Is probably the largest inverted syphon
In the Northwest. It Is made of double
riveted No. 10 steel pipe, 48 inches in di
ameter, throitgh which the water drops
90 feet, passing under Sutton Creek and
the main line of tile O. R. & N. Railroad,
about a mile southeast of Baker City.
Another Inconvenient and expensive
piece of work was caused the company
by not being allowed to come within the
corporate limits of Baker City. This ne
cessitated the construction of a tunnel
about two blocks long through the Reser
voir Hill. This tunnel is 6x8 feet and is
cut out of solid rock a great part of the
way. After passing through the tunnel,
the canal continues along the mountain
side and around the hills until it reaches
the reservoir site one mile east of this
city.
The main canal, from its head on Pow
rer River to the reservoir, is 12 miles
long, while the two main laterals, one of
which Is taken from the main canal, and
the other from the reservoir, will add as
much more to the length of the ditches
that have been built by the company.
The canal and reservoir will, when com
pleted, be one of the most expensive and
at the same time one of the most com
plete Irrigation systems In Oregon. The
embankment for the retaining wall of the
reservoir will be 2000 feet long, 50 feet
high, and 250 feet wide at the base of the
deepest point. It will differ from the
ordinary form of earthen dam In this,
that, whereas there is usually a puddled
core or wall In the center of the embank
ment. In this case the entire dam will
consist of puddled earth, the material be
ing all put In place by the sluicing method,
which was possible, as the canal Is about
&0 feet higher than the top of the reser
voir, thus furnishing a sufficient head of
water and sufficient grade for piping or
sluicing. This plan of building makes an
embankment that is extremely firm, and
with the great thickness of the wall will
make a reservoir that will last Indefi
nitely. J. A. Smith Promotes Work.
The pushing of the big project to a suc
cessful completion Is due to the energy
and ability of J. A. Smith, of this city.
In the Kali of 1906 work was begun on
the construction of the ditch with a force
of 175 men. Since that time the work has
been pushed as rapidly as the weather
and local conditions would permit. The
company now has at work on the con-t-truttion
of the reservoir a gang of nearly
0 men, whose payroll will average about
$Mw per week. The financing of this pro
ject by private interests has been suc
cessfully handled by Mr. Smith, and $150,
iMK which will be the total cost of the
system when completed, has been raised
and made available. This project has
meant much to Baker City because of the
fact that practically all of the money
spent for labor has been paid to local
workmen.
It is the intention of the company to
have the entire system completed this
year. At present the water covers an
tlrea of from 2 to 25 acres, and, when
completed, will cover 240 acres of ground.
This large body of water will be about
27 feet deep and afford one of the finest
Summer resorts of Eastern Oregon. The
complaint of visitors to Baker that
there is no large body of water near has
now been overcome and fine sport can be
had on' the lake both Summer and Winter.
The company will improve the ground
about the lake, planting trees and making
a fine driveway.
That this will be a popular Summer
resort Is indicated by the fact that the
company has received applications for the
privilege of running rowboats. sailboats
and launches on the lake during the
Summer, and the privilege of turning the
lake into an Immense skating rink during
the Winter.
The irrigation system when fully de
veloped will furnish water to irrigate
about 10.000 acres of land. The plan of
the company Is to till its reservoir during
the latter part of Winter and early in
Spring and Irrigate directly from the
river during the Hood season. When the
flood season passes, water will be drawn
from the reservoir, which will hold suf
ficient for irrigation througout the grow
ing season. The provision for all Summer
irrigation will make of the portion of
Baker Valley which it covers an intensive
productive section. This land has a warm
western exposure to the sun and con
sequently a longer growing season.
Place 1000 Acres on Sale. x
The company, which owns all the land
covered by this ditch, has placed on the
market only 1000 acres, which is betng
old for $50 to $100 per acre, according to
the sine of the tract and its location.
This tract has been divided up into
smaller tracts of 5. 10, 20. 40 afid 50 acres.
The company was not very7 desirous of
eUing the land, bit because of the de
mand placed this tract on the market.
This immense body of land is the richest
and most fertile in Baker Valley, .but be
cause of the lack of moisture has pro-

duced nothing but sage brush and grass.
The company is this year placing under
cultivation 400 acres of grround which it
has sowed to wheat, oats and barley. The
yield of grain from this rich soil is from
60 to 100 bushels per acre. It is estimated
that one acre of this ground would pro
duce six tons of alfalfa yearly. The com
pany is preparing to carry on its work on
a much larger scale next year and is now
plowing up 1500 acres, which will be
seeded next Spring.
The company is planning to carry on
extensive experiments to determine the
quality of grains best suited to this
climate and soil. Many different varieties
of .wheat, oats, barley and other small
grains will be planted and the one giving
the best returns will be generally, pro
duced.. The sugar beet industry will also
be tried this year. A man with experi
ence in raising sugar beets has been en
gaged to prepare the ground and raise
two carloads, which will be sent to a
near by factory and there tested for
quality. If the result is satisfactory,
beets will be raised on a large scale and
a sugar beet factory established in Baker
City.
Kxperiment With Products.
Potatoes are said to grow most bounti
fully on this soil. It is conservatively
estimated that this land will produce, at
the lowest. 250 bushels of potatoes to the
acre, and that with such a crop a man
could buy a five-acre tract, raise potatoes,
and besides paying for the land make a
good interest on his money. It is the ex
pectation of the company that potatoes
will yield about 500 bushels to the acre,
and they will be -of the finest size and
quality.
Small fruits and berries of all kinds will
also come in for their share of cultiva
tion. All kinds of berries will be set
out and a record kept of tlir productive
ness. Especially will strawberries receive
attention, as it is the opinion of the com
pany that the finest berries in the state
can be produced here. Because of the
Spring frosts a late variety will neces
sarily have to be cultivated, but the
warm climate, the rich, soil and the west
ern exposure assure as fine a crop as can
be produced anywhere.
The size of the reservoir being conT
structed at present was necessitated be
cause of the great expense attached to
such an undertaking. The dam' can be
ratsed at any time to a height of 90 feet,
thus increasing the reservoir to nearly
three times its present depth and increas
ing the size of the lake by as much as
100 acres. The waterfall of 50 feet from
the main canal to the reservoir would
afford sufficient power to lift the water
f0 feet higher into another reservoir if
the company so desires. The extent of
the project Is limited only by the ex
pense connected with its development.-

Springfield Comnieroiiil Club Active
in Securing Improvements.
SPRINGFIELD, Or., May 5. ( Special.)
A committee recently appointed by the.
Commercial Club for the purpose of inter
viewing the farmers in the Pleasant Hill
Valley, in regard to establishing a new
road and putting in a ferry boat three
miles below Jasper, has been active. The
committee consisted of C. H. Rychard,
Paul Bettelheim and H. M. Stewart.
These-three, accompanied by Editor Bee
be, drove over tlto proposed route and
report that by biiildlng a road, crossing
the river at a point just below Burt Mat
thews' farm, the distance to Springfield
can be shortened to about four miles,
whereas it Is now necessary for the
farmers in that locality to travel eight
miles.
The farmers are very enthusiastic over
the prospect of a new road and have of
fered their assistance in building same,
also a free right of way. If the county
can be induced to erect and maintain a
ferry. A petition will be- circulated for
signers and will then be presented to the
County Commissioners. It is believed that
the court will recognize the petition and
that the Toad will be established.
AXXIOIS FOR RAILROAD LIXE
Laidlaw Citizens Ready to Raise
$100,000 Bonus.
LAIDLAW", Or.. May 5. (Special.)
At an enthusiastic meeting of the
Laidlaw "Development League and citi
zens of the community, the local rail-ro--l
question was discussed. It has
developed that the obstructions to the
building of the Oregon Trunk Line
road have been removed, and that the
road will build into this section of the
state. Citizens here hail this informa
tion with delight, and will do all in
their power to further the building- of
this line to Laidlaw.
It was determined at the meeting to
make an effort to raise a grood-slzed
bonus to induce the line to build into
Laidlaw-. The location of the town is
one of the finest in the whole Inland
PUBLIC AND INDUSTRIAL
Empire. It lies nestled in the Valley
of the Deschutes, with thousands of
acres of irrigated land on either side,
and the timber belt within .five miles
of the' limits of the town.
The old survey of the Corvallis &
Eastern crosses the river at this point,
and with the building of it and the
trunk lino Laidlaw will be much bene
fited. The people are enthusiastic and
enterprising, and all that is lacking for
the rapid development and building of
a city is the assurance of the construc
tion of transportation lines within a
reasonable time.
It is believed that the citizens of
Laidlaw and the surrounding country
will be able to furnish to the road an
inducement of $100,000, If the road
may be brought here within a reason
able time. It is also believed that the
Corvallis & Eastern may be induced to
construct to this point, and every ef
fort will be made to Induce the build
ing of this line, as well as that of the
trunk system.

Appoints Committee to Raise Money
by Subscription for Advertising
to Reach New Industries.
VANCOUVER, Wash., May 6. (Spe
cial.) The recently established pub
licity department of the Vancouver
Columbia Club has taken' active opera
tion during the past few days toward
a systematic campaign of advertising:
and advancement of the interests of
the territory in the vicinity of Van
couver and especially in Clark County.
The committee in charge of this work
is composed of E. G. Crawford, ex
Mayor of Vancouver; J. H. Elwell, a
prominent real estate dealer and E. E.
Beard, editor and publisher of the Van
couver Columbian. They will begin a
canvass among the commercial men
of this community to secure funds for
carrying on this new feature of the
club's work. The Columbia Club itself
has set aside a special fund for the aid
of this department, and has appointed
a special secretary to take charge of
the branch. -
The committee has ordered 1000
copies of the souvenir number of the
Vancouver Chronicle, which will ap
pear within the next few days. This
issue which has been compiled with
the special intention of boosting this
locality, will be widely spread in or
der to thoroughly acquaint new peo
ple and new capital with the pros
pects and advantages of this vicinity.
The club has in its promotion of this
work, the idea to specialize as much as
possible, and secure the Interests of peo
ple with capital to invest in enterprises
best adapted to, and most needed in
this place. It will seek to interest
people in the excellent waterfront and
the fine shipping facilities; the unde
veloped mineral wealth adjacent to the

MANY INDUSTRIES ADDED
Large Church Is Dedicated and a

Lumber Manufacturers.
SILVERTON, Or., May 5. (Special.)
From the first fiusn of green on the
fields and' foliage this Spring until Au
tumn has browned the pastures and
scattered the withered leaves, great ac
tivity will be experienced in all branches
of industry in Silverton, and if at the
close of the year the little city has In
creased its population by one-half it will
not surprise those who are instrumental
in the present progressive movement.
Probably no city in the Willamette Val
ley the size of Silverton will experience
a greater improvement during the Sum
mer of 1907 than this. If all plans ma
terialize nearly 100 new buildings will be
erected before the close of the season,
and several which were started early
are nearing completion.
The new Christian Church was finished
last week and dedicated today. This Is
the best church building in the city and
has a seating capacity of 500 people.
Rev. Albyn Esson, recently of Portland,
has charge of the pulpit and to him is
due much credit for the construction of
the handsome edifice.
One of the most important movements
in the line of development in Silverton
is the construction of a large sawmill
in the city by the Silverton Lumber
Company, and to this enterprise is large
ly attributed the present great activity
which the people of Silverton enjoy. The
building is progressing rapidly and the
mill will be in operation about August 1.
In addition to this the company has
built about nine miles of railroad from
the mill to its timber east of Silverton,
and by the time the mill is ready to saw
logs will be carried over the road to the
mill.
Brick Buildings Under Way.
R. M. Cowden, president of the com
pany, and W. A. Reynolds.- secretary,
will erect two new dwellings upon lots
which they have already purchased. The
residences will cost in the neighborhood
of J10.000 each., '
Another Improvement in Silverton is
the new hotel, the Silverton, which has
already been finished this Spring by J. P.
Hunter ana' Is now operated by B. E.
'Kane. Two brick store buildings are
going up at present and there is talk of
another before the season closes.
An article concerning the progress of
Silverton would not approach complete
ness unless it told of the efficiency of
the public schools. Among the foremost
improvements in the city is the new
high school building now under con
struction. The building will be built of
brick and at a cost of about $16,000. The
work will be completed about ; September
1. With two creditable school buildings
located on First street in the heart, of
the city the school system Is complete
and the growth of many years.
. Heavy Timber at Hand.
Silverton is bounded on, the south and
east by an almost inexhaustible supply
of timber, the quality of which is un
surpassed in the valley, and thousands
of acres of fir are as yet untouched by
ax or saw. In view of this fact several
small mills have been erected in the
vicinity of Silverton and the product of
the forest is being placed on the market.
The Fischer Flouring Mills Company
has within the- past year rebuilt Its prop
erty and installed the latest system for
manufacturing ftour, and today is second
to none in the state. The Silverton Hop
growers" Association, which was organ
ized a few weeks ago, is erecting a large
warehouse near the depot. A new cream
ery has just been finished, and no less
than ten new dwellings are now under
OREGON
construction. The principal streets of
the city are being macadamized, and the
general appearence of Silverton Is un
dergoing . a great change for the better.
TO BORE FOR OIL IN' YAMHILL
Portland and The Dalles Capitalists
Lease 3 000 Acres.
McMINNVILLE. May 5. A large com
pany of capitalists of Portland and The
Dalles have just signed a lease for 3000
acres of land In the North Yamhill gap.
The lease is for 99 years, and operations
are to be begun at once to bore for oil.
The contract reads for "oil. minerals, and
coal, and the owners get 10 per cent
of the net profit of whatever is found.
If oil is not struck in 18 months the lease
becomes null and void, and reverts to the
owners of the land.
The company Is well backed financially,
and very expensive machinery will be in
stalled at once. The company contemp
lates putting in r.000 or $30,000 worth of
machinery at the beginning. It has had
experts in the country examining the
formation here who say it is exactly the
same as is found in rich oil regions, and
predict that oil will be found on the
leased acres.
Mr. Farely, the oil expert, examined
various phases of mineral nature in the
county. As an expert he declared that
Yamhill County has a future In minerals.
He examined the rock quarry of Mr.
Bueley of McMinnville, and said it con
talned some of the finest building granite
in the Pacific Northwest. Mr. Bueley is
contemplating Installing machinery and
taking out the granite.

Will Advance Kunds.
MARSHFIBLD, Or., May 5. (Special.)
Deep interest is being manifested In
Coos Bay and the intervening country
betwen Roseburg and this place over a
proposed electric road to connect the two
places. It is thought the project will be
carried through. The Roseburg people
have taken the initiative. Prominent men
of that place have volunteered $500,000
worth of stock toward the building of
the line if a proportionate amount is
subscribed in the cities of Marshfield and
North Bend.
Louis Barzee, an attorney of Roseburg,
has been sent ' to the bay to bring the
matter before the people. A mass meeting
will be held in Marshfield this week. At
torney Barzee addressed the North Bend
Chamber of Commerce recently and that
body passed resolutions heartily indors
ing the project.
It Is estimated the road wyi cost be
tween $1,100,000 and $2,000,000. Tt is the
intention to run the line out of Roseburg
for a distance of 20 miles up the Umpqua
River Valley and thence to Coal Valley,
down Hubbard Creek to the mouth, from
Vhich It will run to the source of Coos
River. It will follow this stream Into
Coos Bay. The total ' distance Is about
75 miles. The road will carry both freight
and passengers. ' -
This is the third attempt made to
build a road between the two points. The
first was made 20 years ago and resulted
in a failure, and a similar effort about
three years ago met the same fate. It
is the general opinion that the time is
now ripe for the successful outcome of
the project. One prominent business man
In Marshfield has promised to subscribe
$50,000 if the Coos Bay people show the
proper spirit of co-operation.

COLVILLE, Wash., May 5. (Special. )
Engineer Butler, having In. charge the
