Work on Irrigation Projects
in Eastern Oregon Is
Well Under Way.
TRIP COVERS 1000 MILES
Engineer Views Carey Act Systems
That Will Reclaim Thousands of
Acres ot Desert Land Settlers
Already Pouring In.
SALEM. Or.. July 18. (Special.)
After traveling: 1000 mile through
Central and Southern Oregon, half of
the distance by automobile and stage.
State Engineer John H. Lewis is back
at the State Capitol and reports that
development work and advancement of
Carey act projects are a revelation to
him.
During the past few years the de
velopment work has been remarkable."
he asserts. "At Prlnevllle they are ex
pecting a big rush of settlers because
of the recent opening of the road land
grants and prospects are bright for a
branch of the Oregon Trunk up Crooked
River.
"At Laldlaw the indications point to
a reorganization of the Columbia South
ern project and it Is probable construc
tion work will be resumed for the pur
pose of reclamation of 30,000 acres of
valuable land.
. "Irrigation development is causing
signal activity at Bend. In addition to
this factor, timber, railroad construe
tion and water power development are
all opening a great era for that already
prosperous community. Lots that sold
for next to nothing on the main street
of the town 10 years ago are now
going at $4000. Many new houses are
being erected and a great rush of set
tlers is expected.
Water for Thousands of Acres.
"Forty miles south of Bend heavy ma
chinery is being assembled and con
struction work is beginning on an irri
gation project to water 30,000 acres.
Development work here is In charge of
the Deschutes Land Company. The main
line of the Oregon Trunk will go direct
ly through this project and the Natron
Klamath line Is to pass within a few
hundred feet of the dam site in Cres
cent Lake, which supplies water for the
project. La Pine is the townsite for
this development work and there is
now talk of moving Rossland, the old
town, to La Pine so that It will be on
the railroad. From La Pine already
can be heard the sound of blasting on
the Natron-Klamath line, where work
Is being carried on over the mountain.
Every blast Is cheerful news to the peo
ple of the Deschutes.
"At Paisley the 12.000-acre Carey' act
project is being delayed because of
conflict in water rights.
"At Lakeview the dam and the main
canal of a 50,000-acre private project
are nearly complete and the land under
the canal sold.
Warner Valley Interests.
"Perhaps of all prospective projects
in Southern Oregon the one In Warner
Lake Valley I found had the more nu
merous interesting features. This is
40 miles east of Lakeview and $30,000
has already been expended in surveys
looking to the development of 100,000
acres of land. This valley is 80 miles
long and runs from Ave to 15 miles in
width, between rock bluffs 3000 feet
high. The land here will be developed
by the state under the Carey act. The
company doing the work is under $7000
bonds to make a complete investiga
tion and Is apparently going ahead in
good faith, notwithstanding there are
immense obstacles blocking the path.
"A canal of 1000 second-foot capacity
will have to be constructed for 15 miles
along an almost vertical rock clin and
three miles of dikes. 40 to 50 feet in
height, must be constructed across a
peat bog, in addition to several storage
sites, long flumes and Inverted siphons.
"The tract, however. Is very desir
able, and Ilea well for Irrigation, hav
ing an excellent climate, and with rail
road facilities, which have been defi
nitely promised, may prove very feas
ible to Irrigate.
Wild Game Is Abundant.
"Warner Lake Valley presents one of
the most curious natural phenomena
which I found on the trip. The valley
contains a string of lakes, filled with
wild game. The peculiar feature lies
in the fact that the water flows from
the south end of the valley through a
string of lakes to the north and the
lower lake, though slightly brackish,
is used for Irrigation and domestic pur
poses. 1 cannot account for, nor has
anyone explained why, the lake Is not
strongly alkali or salt. There Is no
known outlet and through that section
of the state are numerous large lakes,
all of them salty. One arm of this lake
has been cut off by a dike and the
water allowed to evaporate, producing
a crop of wild hay. This has been done
each season for 18 years, the water
turned In and the process repeated,
without any signs of alkali appearing
in the field.
"Perhaps the greatest development
was noticed in the northern part of
Lake County at Fort Rock, or Christ
mas Lake Valley. Where a few years
ago were the waste places, nothing but
sagebrush and jackrabbits. now there
are dry farming homesteads as far as
the eye can reach and the country Is
all under fence. Domestic water is se
cured at from 15 to 30 feet, and precipi
tation is sufficient to raise certain
crops, mostly grain.
Growth at Klamath Rapid.
"Klamath Falls has also shown great
substantial growth, due largely to the
Government reclamation project and
recent completion of the railroad. It
will probably be but li months before
the Natron-Klamath line Is finished."
he state engineer had planned that
his trip should Include . counties In
Southeastern Oregon, but was called
back on office work and deferred In
vestigation In that section for a few
weeks, when he will examine projects
which total up Into hundreds of thou
sands of acres.

VANDERVEER IS BEATEN
SEATTLE'S PROSECTUTIXG AT
TORNEY LOSES HIS FIGHT.
Authority to Employ Special Detec
tives Revoked by King County
Commissioners.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 18. (Special.)
Prosecuting Attorney George Vander
veer's authority to employ special detec
tives In his office was today revoked by
the County Commissioners and Vander
veer notified that the Board would not
allow a cent for salaries and expenses
for the prosecutor's sleuths after today.
The resolution was introduced by Com
missioner M. J. Carrigan and adopted
unanimously. It reads:
"Be it resolved by the Board of County
Commissioners of King County, that the
Prosecuting Attorney of King County be
and is hereby notified that any authority
heretofore given him to employ special
agents In his office to serve under his
direction is hereby revoked and he is
hereby notified that this Board "will not
allow or pay any bills for salaries or ex
penses of special agents in the employ of
the Prosecuting Attorney of King Coun
ty from and after this date, July 18,
and, be it further
"Resolved, that the clerk of this Board
be instructed to forthwith forward a
certified copy of this resolution to th
Prosecuting Attorney for his Information
and guidance in the premises."
Commissioner Carrigan severely critl-.
clsed the non-action of the prosecutor's
detectives and the Sheriff In enforcing
the laws. He" made It plain that he was
impelled to take such a step because he
believed that Vanderveer and Sheriff
Hodge had reached what he termed a
"working understanding" by the terms of
which certain alleged lawbreakers were
being protected. He insisted that if the
prosecutor and Sheriff could work to
gether in that Instance they should be
compelled to work together for the en
forcement of the law and put It up to
Hodge to supply Vanderveer with Deputy
Sheriffs to do all the detective work
necessary In gathering evidence. Carri
gan Issued a long formal statement giv
ing his views in the matter.
DOUBT THROWN ON MERGER
New $7,000,000 Concern Said Xot
to Have Secured Control of Mines.
SUilPTER. Or.. July The Incorpora
tion of the Sampson Company, the $7,000.
000 concern, which has announced its pur
pose of acquiring seven of the largest
mines In the Bourne district near here,
has been the cause of considerable specu
lation In. local mining circles. Two of
the most Important properties named in
the plans for the merger are the Colum
bia mine and the North Pole.
Manager Frank S. Balllie, of the Co
lumbia mine, says no option Is out for
the purchase of the property nor are
negotiations pending for its sale. Man
ager Emil Melzer. of the Eastern Oregon
Mining Company, owners of the North
Pole mine, makes a like statement. Since
no steps have been taken to secure the
properties named, which would be neces
sary to make the consolidation a success,
mining men believe the announcement of
the merger Is premature.

to "Make a Talk for Him."
OYSTER -BAT, July 18. Ex -President
Roosevelt today issued, his first formal
statement, written with his own hand,
since he returned from abroad, one month

It concerned the political future of his
nephew, Theodore . Douglas Robinson,
who, Mr.' Roosevelt hopes, will be elect
ed to Congress if nominated from the
Twenty-seventh New York District, com
prising Herkimer and Oneida counties.
This is Mr. Roosevelt's statement In
part:
"My nephew told me he did not desire
me to take any part whatever in the
nomination, because he especially desired
this matter should be settled by his
neighbors In ' Herkimer and Oneida ab
solutely without any outside Interference
of any kind, but he desired to know
whether, in the event of his nomination,
I would come up and speak for him. I
told him. of course. I would."

luncheon today with the ex-President,
and after they had talked over the situa
tion, Mr. Roosevelt decided to place him
self on record.
