DESCHUTES WORK
IS GOING FORWARD
Construction Now Resumed
After State Land Board
Comes to Rescue.
! WATER GREATLY NEEDED
Thousands of Acres of Central Ore
gon Must Remain Arid Without
Irrigation Company Working
140,000 Acres Taken Up.
BY A. W. PRESCOTT.
BEND. Or.. Aug. 15. (Staff Correspond
ence.) One enterprise that promises more
than any other for the Industrial develop
ment of Central Oregon is that of irriga
tion In the Deschutes Valley In the vi
cinity of Bend. .mle the timber re
sources of the Eastern slope of the Cas
cade Mountains constitute a latent wealth
that will at some future time bring Im
mense sums of money to this section of
the state and furnish profitable traffic for
a railroad this alone could not bring to
Central Oregon that permanent product
iveness without which the population must
always remain "small and widely scattered.
To a few people stock raising has
been profitable In years gone by, but
even that has been an Industry of small
proportions compared with the vast terri
tory over which cattle, horses and sheep
have grazed. Without Irrigation, there
fore, the Central Oregon country must
temain either an arid waste or at best
a thinly settled region, where dry farm
ing would afford a scant living to in
dustrious, hard-working homebuilders. Be
cause irrigation will make every 40-acre
tract of irrigable land productive enough
to support a family, reclamation work as
sumes first place in the development of
this part of the state, and is the chief
hope of permanent prosperity. The suc
cess of irrigation enterprises will afford
one of the most effective Inducements for
the construction of a railroad; thus aid
ing in building up other Industries, dry
farming among them.
Reclamation work in Central Oregon has
been undertaken by private enterprise,
under contracts with the state. In one
tense it is probably a misfortune that this
great development enterprise was taken
up by private concerns rather than by
the Government, for the United States
Reclamation Service undoubtedly would
have planned and executed the work on a
much larger scale and in a more perma
nent manner than Is possible for the pri
vate companfes to undertake. However
that may be. the future of the reclama
tion work In the Deschutes country now
depends apparently upon private enter
prise alone and the Government Is free
to devote all Its efforts to irrigation in
Umatilla. Klamath and other sections.
The problem now before the people of the
state is to see that these private enter
prises are carried out In good faith, under
the contracts with the state, so that ulti
mately this may become a populous and
prosperous region. '
History of Reclamation.
By the provisions of the Carey act the
United States Government granted to the
arid land states not to exceed 1,000.000
acres each upon the sole condition that
the land be reclaimed and sold to actual
settlers in tracts of not to exceed 160
acres and at the cost of reclamation. In
1901 the state of Oregon passed an act
accepting the terms of the Federal grant
and authorizing the State Land Board to
enter into contracts for the reclamation of
the arid land. Under the provisions of
the state act the reclamation companies
must bear air the , expense of surveying,
preparing plans, constructing canals and
ditches and distributing the water. As
compensation, the companies are given a
lien on the land to the extent of the esti
mated cost of construction, this estimate
being agreed upon between the Stata
Land Board and the company and ex
pressly stipulated in the reclamation con
tract. Under no circumstances could t.ie
state be made liable for any of the cost
of reclaiming the land or distributing
water.
In pursuance of this state law and the
Federal grant, three projects were under
taken in the vicinity of Bend, in the De
schutes Valley. The Three Sisters Irri
gation Company undertook to reclaim
27.000 acres on the west side of the river
at an average ctt of $10 an acre. The
Pilot Butte Development Company se
cured a contract with the state for the
reclamation of 84.000 acres on the east
side of the river at the same cost per
acre. The Oregon Irrigation Company
undertook to reclaim 56.000 acres adjacent
to and partly surrounded by the lands to
be reclaimed by the Pilot Butte Com
pany. The estimated cost of reclamation
was in that project $11.60 an acre, but no
contract was made. In addition, eacn of
these companies, under the terms of the
contracts, was to have a perpetual right
to charge settlers $1 per acre per year
for water supplied to them. The contracts
did not specify the quantity of water to
be provided, the period of the season
within which It must be supplied, what
kind of canals must be built or in what
manner sales might be made to settlers.
While the companies could not own the
land and only the state could give deeds,
yet it was provided that any settler could
secure a deed from the state upon pre
senting a receipt showing that the com
pany's lien had been paid, so that In re
ality the sales were to be made by the
company.
Three Sisters Makes' False Start.
Under Its contract, the Three Sisters
Company began construction of a carial.
taking water from Tumalo Creek, a tribu
tary of the Deschutes. Later the com
pany sold out to the Columbia Southern
Irrigation Company, which concern soon
afterward resold to the Columbia South
ern Irrigating Company. Some 30 miles
of main canal and an equal length of
laterals were constructed and sales were
made to large numbers of "settlers,"
many of whom were residents of Eastern
states and had never seen the land. The
sales aggregated nearly the entire Irri
gable area, the Fettlers paying one-fifth
down, giving notes for the deterred pay
ments. Finally water was. provided for
the reclamation of 12.000 acres and unn
application of the state the Government
Issued a patent for the land thus found to
he reclaimed. At this juncture the com
pany became insolvent and turned Its af
fairs over to its bondholders. Investigation
showed that the natural flow of water in
Tumalo Creek Is not sufficient to irrigate
more than 12.000 acres and that In order
to complete the project an immense reser
voir must be built for the storage of water
prior to the irrigation season. The bond
holders are unwilling to put more money
into the project with only the deferred
payments of settlers as compensation; the
fettlers will make no more payments un
til they see assurance of fulfilment of the
company's obligations to them, and there
the matter rests. Many of the settlers
are beyond the reach of canals already
built. Even if they were within reach.
there is not water enough for all The
settlers themselves are In no position to
undertake the -completion of the system,
and, on the whole, the project is in a
very discouraging condition. In the first
place, the promoters of the project Ignor
antly or carelessly overestimated the
water supply. They underestimated the
cost of construction, built their canals in
too flimsy a manner and undoubtedly
wasted much of their money by reason of
lack of experience and knowledge .of irri
gation. What to do with the Columbia
Southern project is the problem worrying
the State Land Board and the bondhold
ers, among whom are W. H. Moore, E. E.
Lytle. P. L. Willis, C. M. Keep, J. Frank
Watson and R. W. Wilson.
Land Irrigated From the Deschutes.
The Pilot Butte and Oregon Irrigation
Company projects were sold out to the
Deschutes Irrigation & Power Company,
a concern organized by Ohio capitalists
who knew more about gas than they did
about water, for they made their money
in gas. By means of a flume over a mile
long, they took "water from Deschutes
River three miles above Bend and. con
ducted It to their lands. A main canal
30 miles long has been constructed for
the Pilot Butte tract and another 26
miles long for the Oregon Irrigation Com
pany tract, and some 250 miles of lateral
ditches have been built to distribute the
water to the land to be reclaimed. Up to
the present time the company has fur
nished water for about 65,000 acres, of
which amount the Governor and State
Engineer have certified 38.300 acres to the
Department of the Interior as reclaimed
The company has asked the state to cer
tify the remainder. The department has
withheld patent until an investigation can
be made as to the fact of reclamation and
the ' Governor and State Engineer have
withheld the additional certificate until
they could inspect the land. It is this in
spection on the part of the state and
Government that constitutes a large part
of the work of Special Inspector T. B.
Neuhausen. Government Engineer John
T. Whistler, Governor Chamberlain and
State Engineer Lewis on their present
trip to the Deschutes country.
With matters in this condition, the
Deschutes Irrigation & Power Company
went before the State Land Board with
a petition alleging that the estimated
cost has been placed too low. that the
construction work Is more difficult and
expensive than at first thought, and that
the company would not proceed with the
entire project unless the lien on unsold
lands should be Increased. The quantity
sold aggregated about 40,000 acres. For
this the company had received an average
of $10 an acre in cash or deferred pay
ment noes. The total expenditures to
date had been, according to the state
ments of the company. $900,000: The
amount of land reclaimed within the
meaning of the law was 65,000 acres, or
an average cost of $13.85 per acre. But
in law land Is deemed reclaimed when
water has been brought within one mile
of it. and -the company still has to con
struct laterals which will place the water
on each 40 acres of land. The construc
tion of laterals may bring the, cost up to
$15 or $18 per acre, leaving the company
$5 or $6 an acre behind on the reclama
tion of 65.000 acres, or $390,000 loss.
Lien on Land Increased.
It was for the purpose of getting
square on the whole project and carrying
the work to completion that the company
asked an Increase of lien. After a hear
ing the State Land Board entered into a
new contract. Increasing the lien on un
sold land to an average of $25 an acre.
As there remain 100.000 acres, if the com
pany sells this quantity at $25 an acre
its total receipts from future sales will
be $2,500,000. Adding to this the past sales
of 40,000 acres at $10 an acre, or $400,000,
gives a total of $2,900,000 for reclaiming
140.000 acres of land, or an average of
$20.56 per acre.
The prices given are averages. It
must be understood that nearly every
quarter section of land In this project
has more or less non-irrigable land,
either because it is too high or because
of outcropping ledges of rock. Actual
sales are made at $40 an acre for Irrigable
land and $2.50 for waste land. The
settler who buys a 40-acre tract pays for
the land according to Its character.
Under the new contract. Increasing the
lien from an average of $10 an acre to
an average of $25 an acre on unsold lands,
the annual .water charge Is reduced from
$1 an acre to 80 cents an acre, and It is
provided that at the end of 10 years the
system shall be turned over to the set
tlers, who will then own it. A number
of other desirable features were intro
duced Into the new contract, holding the
company to a higher standard of work
and service and these, perhaps, had some
influence in inducing the State Land
Board .to increase the lien.
The Deschutes Company has renewed
Its construction work . and proposes t3
complete the reclamation of the remain
der of the 140.000 acres. Here at Bend
there Is general confidence that the pro
ject will be carried to successful com
pletion. WANT TO KNOW ALL ABOUT IT

William Sloan, of Tenlno, Wash.,
Shoots at C. M. Mallory, but Aim
Is Spoiled by Bystander Says
Mallory Ruined His Home.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Aug. 16. (Special.)
William Sloan, a saloonkeeper at Tenino,
fired four shots at C. M. Mallory, book
keeper for the Jonls Lumber Company,
this afternoon while Mallory was board
ing a Port Townsend Southern train at
the mill company's spur. One shot took
effect, striking Mallory in the elbow and
causing a painful but not serious wound.
Mallory probably would have been killed
had not J. B. Jonls, a mlllowner, spoiled
Sloan's aim by Btrlking him In the -face
with a hand grip. One shot narrowly
missed Conductor Edward Kevin, another
whistled past Jonls and a third went
through Mallory's coat tails.
Passengers "on the train were thrown
into a panic by the shooting. Mallory
came to Olympia on the train, and, after
having the bullet extracted and the
wound dressed, swore out a warrant for
Sloan's arrest. Sloan has not yet been
captured.
Bad feeling between the men has exist
ed for some time, and was particularly
strong some months ago, when Sloan and
his wife, engaged In a divorce suit. That
was dropped after a reconciliation be
tween the couple. Both Sloan and Mal
lory recently returned to Tenleo after
an absence of several weeks, and Sloan
has recently made threats against Mal
lory's life, blaming his domestic difficul
ties to the latter. Mallory was on his way
to Olympia to make complaint and have
Sloan placed under bonds to keep the
peace when the shooting occurred.

WHO OWNS THE BOAT YASHON?
Gnggenheims Refuse Her and Old
Owners Will Not Take Her Back.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 16. (Special.)
There is a row In the Guggenheim cor
porations over the purchase of a boat
for the Lower Copper River. The steamer
Vashon was purchased by C. P. Converse
assistant president of the Katalla Com
pany, the corporation that is building
Guggenheim's road, the Copper River &
Northwestern, into the Interior of the
copper belt. Captain X. H. Jarvis, the
treasurer, refused to sign the warrant
and toe deal was declared off. Now the
old owners of the Vashon, Shubaek and
Hamilton, repudiate the boat, refuse to
touch her and insist that the Guggen
heims own her. Jarvis went to Portland
to get what he thinks is a boat suitable
for the run.
Guggenheim officials fear to take up
the question lest It cause a split with
J. P. Morgan & Company, whom Jarvis
and Ms associates more closely represent.
The result is that the steamer Vashon is
lying here with none In charge and is
likely to be involved in a suit. I

SUMMER ILL
The xhausting heat of the Summer
weather causes untold suffering and
misery to thousands of men, women
and children. Deaths occur on all
sides from diarrhfiea, dysentery,
chills, cholera morbus, typhoid and
other fevers, due in a great number
of cases to impure water and the con
sumption of unripe fruits by those
whose systems and stomachs are not
in a healthy condition.
The many ills that come during the
hot, sultry-weather can be avoided by
keeping the body strong and healthy
with Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, the
great body-builder.
If all were more careful to keep the
system in a vigorous, healthy condi
tion, the germs of these diseases could
not obtain a foothold. Leading doc
tors agree that Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey has not equal as a destroyer
of poisonous germs in the body. It
is indorsed by the clergy and profes
sional nurses and recommended by all
schools of medicine as a positive cure
for pneumonia, consumption, grip,
dyspepsia, indigestion, nervous pros
tration, all diseases of the throat and
lungs, every form of stomach trouble;
malaria, chills, fever, and all run
down, weakened, diseased conditions
of the body, brain, mind and muscle.
It is a heart tonic, blood purifier and
promoter of health and long life ;
makes the old hearty and' young and
keeps the young vigorous and strong.
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
is distilled wholly from malted grain,
and its softness, palatability and free
dom from injurious substances make
it acceptable to the most sensitive
stomach.
Sold by druggists, grocers and deal
ers or direct. $1 a bottle. Illustrated
medical booklet containing some of
the many convincing testimonials re
ceived from grateful men and women
who have been cured, and doctor's ad
vice free. Duffy Malt Whiskey Co.,
