SUCCESS OF THE PROJECT
ABERDEEN IS TO BE CLOSED
1
Ten Thousand Acres Occupied by
250 Families But Small Por
tion or Land Now Under '
Water Crops Prolific.
BY A. W. I'RESCOTT.
BEND. Or., Aug. 12. (Staff Corre
spondence. ) Expressions of surprise and
satisfaction were frequently uttered to-
day by Governor Chamberlain and other
members of the party that reached Bend
last evening for the purpose of investi
gating the condition of tne reclamation
' projects that have been started in tills
vicinity. While the representatives of the
Ktate and Government have not yet given
'attention to the details of their task, and
are not in a position to express an opin
ian which will indicate their final con
clusions, they freely voiced their pleasure
over the rapid procress that has been
made in agriculture in the Deschutes
country.
Three years ago. when the State Land
Board made its first visit of Inspection
to the Deschutes project, there was not
an Irrigated field within the limits of
either of the immense tracts set apart
fop reclamation. Yesterday the party
that came to Bend passed dozens of irri
gated fields, where settlers have trans
formed sagebrush plains into fields of
alfalfa, wheat, oats, corn, potatoes and
garden vegetables. The view of these
many thrifty, growing crops was a prac
tical demonstration of the success of irri
gation on the Descnutes, for fields were
seen where two crops of alfalfa, aggre
gating three tons to the acre, were cut
on land seeded down last season, and
where fully matured wheat of first-class
duality has been harvested long before
the frost season has arrived.
Three years ago there was scarcely a
settler's cabin on the whole 140,0)0 acres
' which the Deschutes Company had un
dertaken to reclaim. Today there are
2?0 families residing on the farm lands.
lft.OOO acres are green with growing crops,
many more families have applied for
lands and will come here to make homes
when water has been supplied and sev
eral thousand acres have been cleared
and plowed this year ready for produc
tion of crops next year.
Much Land Lies Unusued.
These are the gratifying: conditions that
have been observed, and yet there is
much that might be wished and there is
much yet to be done. Of the 140.000
acres in the Deschutes project probably
So, 000 acres are so located as to be sub
ject to cultivation. It is therefore ap
parent that somewhat less than one
eighth of the entire Irrigable area ls now
producing a crop. Much more than that
quantity of land now. reached by canals
has been sold to persons who ba-ve not
come to reside upon It and who have not
Improved it in the least. The water Is
ready for them, but for one reason or
another they have not used it. Some of
them may be speculators. Others in
tended, when they applied for the land,
to make homes upon it, but they have
not found It easy to break away from
former occupations and come here to re
claim the desert. Still others may have
become financially embarrassed and have
abandoned their purchases.
In addition to this land for which
water has been provided and which has
not been cultivated, there is a large area
not yet readied by the irrigation system.
Thus it occurs that while the investi
gators were riding past beautiful fields of
alfalfa and wheat and oats they were
also riding through mile after mile of
sagebrush land, upon which the farmers'
grubbing tools have not been used.
Ten thousand acres of luxuriant vege
tation are a considerable quantity to
produce in the midst of a desert, and yet
it would look like a mere spot upon the
vast expanse of waste if one could look
down upon the Deschutes Valley from a
. balloon. Scarcely more than a begin
. nlng has been made, but that beginning
. has been such as to give promise of a
magnificent future for Irrigation farming
in this section of the state.
Apples Growing: Nearby.
But fields of alfalfa and grain and
.vegetables were not all of interest
the visitors beheld. Yesterday after
noon in the northern part of Crook
County the.v passed a freight wagon
hauling more than ino boxes of ap
ples to Prineville. They were not
. Hood River apples, but they looked
. "just as good." They were grown on
the McAllister ranch near the Junc
tion of Crooked River and the Des-
chutes-, and within six miles of the
land that is to be reclaimed. Thus
having before them conclusive proof
. of the character of fruits tlint may
be raised here, the visitors felt con
fident that some day, when orchards
have been brought to maturity the
Deschutes apple will have its place
in the market reports of -newspapers
and If the list of prize-winners at
the state and local fairs.
Those apples, Gravensteins, had Just
been picked from the trees. They sell
for 11.75 a box in Prineville. That is
the price the grower gets, less the
value of his time and that of his
. horses spent in hauling- the fruit the
25 miles to 'the county seat. It takes
an apple tree eight to 12 years to
come into bearing. It is not a rash
guess to predict that in less than a
dozen years "the population of Crook
County will have increased to such an
extent that apples will be imported
from Hood River, or elsewhere, to
supply the demand. In its own good
.time, however, the Deschutes country
will have apple trees enough in bear-
'Ing to fill the home market at least.
Hold Lund Without Improvements.
The character of improvements
made by the settlers on the Deschutes
irrigation, project, indicates the ut-
- most good fatih. While the farm
houses are not large or beautiful they
are comfortable and sufficient for a
family of ordinary size. Those who
have made any settlement at all man
ifestly have done so with the inten
tion of permanently residing there.
Not much can be said as to the in
tentions of those hundreds of "set
' ties" who have purchased lands and
' made partial payments, but who have
made no improvements and show no
f inclination to come here to reclaim the
land by using the water at their dis-
posal. Perhaps some of them have
been deterred by the questions and
controversies that have arisen before
, the State Land Board over adoption of
rules, title to water and other mat
' ters. but It Is hoped that soon all
doubt and controversy will be re
moved, and that not only will the re
clamation company be compelled to
Mayor Will Order Thus Because of
Disorderly Conduct.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Aug. 13. (Special.)
Although it took a probable fatal shoot
ing affray to bring it about. Mayor France
announced today that he will order all
saloons closed on Sunday next. The
Mayor says he will not take this action
because of the law, but rather because of
the fact that the saloon men have not
kept their promise made to him that they
would conduct their places of resort in a
peaceable and orderly manner.
The shooting affray occurred Sunday
night, and Ira Machlin lies at the point
of death as a result of a gunshot wound
inflicted by Lou Smith.
The saloons and other places of busi
ness were open as usual last Sunday, but
no arrests have been made. In view of
the Mayor's promised action, there may
be no further prosecution of the cases
which are to come up la court tomorrow.
A mass meeting of church people was
held Sunday in the Methodist Church and
action taken intended to assist Rev. Mr.
Benedict in the prosecution of the viola
tions of the Sunday law. In view of the
Mayor's action, this league also may act
no further.
SAYS RATE IS VERY LOW
FULLER DENIES THE CHARGES
AGAINST THE O. W. P.
Contends Pussengers Are Carried In
Some Cases at Less Than
Cost on Estacada Line.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 13. (Special.) Con
tending that the passenger rates
charged upon the Estacada and Lents
lines of the O. W. P. system to the
various stations mentioned are ex
tremely low in some cases below the
actual cost of the service rendered, and
lower than the rates generally in force
on electric suburban lines either in the
East or West and claiming, as a fair
business proposition, that the rates
should be increased rather than dimin
ished, Vice-President F. I. Fuller, of the
Portland Railway, Light & Power Com
pany, has filed his reply to the complaint
of J. H. Harris, of the Clarke-Woodard
Drug Company, of Portland, made to the
Railroad Commission against the alleged
excessive and unreasonable fares charged
from certain points on the Estacada line,
including Gilbert, and also the crowded
condition of cars on both the Estacada
and Mount Scott lines. - '
"The statement that the distance to
Luther, Kendall and Watsdn, the three
points mentioned on the Springwater di
vision, is respectively much less than to
Tremont, Gray's Crossing and Lents, the
three points mentioned on the Mount
Scott division, is not correct," said Mr.
Fuller in his reply to the separate
charges of the complaint, "as the former
three points are respectively from two to
two and one-third miies farther from the
center of the city by rail than the three
points first mentioned, having a 5-cent
tare. In fact, Luther, the nearest point
mentioned on the Springwater division, is
about one and one-half miles farther
from First and Alder streets than Lents,
the most distant of the three points men
tioned on the Mount Scott division.
"The statement that a person can ride
to a point three miles beyond Watson
on the same 10-cent fare as to Watson,
on the Estacada line, ,s approximately
correct, as Gates Station, the end of
the 10-cent fare limit, is two and one
third miles beyond Watson. This, how
ever. Is the ordinary condition, as it is
manifestly impossible to have all points
between 5-cent and 10-cent fare limits
the same distance from the center of the
City of Portland. Taking up the actual
charge to. Luther, the cash fare to Port
land is 10 cents, the distance 8.67 miles, a
rate of less than 1.2 cents per mile. The
purchase of a 20-ride book for $1.50 gives
a 74-cent ride to Portland, or less than
.9 of a cent per mile.
"The only way one can pay a 15-cent
fare from Gilbert to Portland Is to pay
from station to station," Mr. Fuller con
tinued, after stating that If Mr. Harris
had ever been required to pay this fare,
as he alleges he had been overcharged.
"He could pay a 5-cent fare from Gilbert
to Len,ts Junction, 5 cents from Lents
Junction to Lents and 5 cents from Lents
to Portland. Even this would entitle
him to a transfer, which he claims will
not be granted on the payment of 15
cents. Five cents entitles him to ride
from Gilbert to Lents, and there is no
necessity of his paying two fares to
travel this distance, as the conductor of
the Estacada train, on the payment of a
5-cent fare from Gilbert, will issue a
duplex transfer, good from Lents Junc
tion to Lents."
Mr. Faulkner denies that it was the
new management of the O. W. P. lines
that extended the line from Lents Juns
tlon to Lents and established the extra
5-cent fare on this line, as the fare to
Lents had 'previously been established at
an extremely low figure (less than .7 of
a cent per mile), it was not to be sup
posed that they would not make a greater
charge for the longer trip.
He denies that the service on the Esta
cada and Mount Scott lines is very ir
regular, as charged by Mr. Harris. He
admits that the cars are not always per
fectly on time, especially on the Mount
Scott line, where, on a 15-minute service,
a very small delay tends to bunch the
cars: but he says the service is steadily
improving with the greateivpower facili
ties being furnished, and is very much
more regular than It was a. year ago.
He says that as many as one, two, three
and four additional cars are attached
during the rush hours, and in this way
the company is able to accommodate the
steadily increasing traffic.

A short time later Tanakl Tsutsuti was
recognized by a United States marine at
Cavite as one of the discharged laborers.
He was arrested and watched and was
seen surreptitiously; sketching the plan of
the works at that port. He was at once
taken into custody, but as soon as he was
arrested he .showed apparent signs of

QUESTION OF CAFE OX COM
MERCIAL STREET ISSCE. .
Petitions and Remonstrances Before
City . Council Street Improve
ments Are to Be Made.
SALEM, Aug. 13. (Special.) Saloon and
anti-saloon had its inning before the City
Council last evnelng. The question came
up of granting the Standard Liquor Com
pany a transfer of liquor license from the
former location .of one of its saloons. .
which was crowded out by a mercantile
establishment on Court street, to a promi
nent position on Commercial street. Af
ter a heated debate the matter was finally
referred to the committee on licenses for
investigation and report, but the real
purpose of the sidetracking of the peti
tion, which was made at the Instance of
the anti-saloon element, was to give them
time to muster their forces, since they
thought they saw defeat in store for them
if the question was brought to a final
issue last evening. '
For Beveral years past efforts have been
made to locate a saloon In the heart of
the business district on Commercial
street, but each time a strong remon
strance has been presented to the Council
and the effort was defeated. This time
the Standard Liquor Company leased the
property formerly occupied by Strong's
restaurant and announced that it was to
be converted into a first-class cafe. When
the Court-street saloon was crowded out
of Its location all of the fixtures and
equipment were transferred to the Commercial-street
building and a regular sa

proposition. Many of the business firms

of the City Council was the adoption of
the ordinances for the improvement of
Ave blocks of State street, reaching from
Church street to Twelfth, traversed by
the Southern Pacific main line, and for
three blocks on Court street, from Com
