(They are both gravity aystems, one I " . .w- T..a.j kutae 111 fit taking water irora too ft. below Bend and the other from the name stream a few miles south of that town. ... . . To go Into a history or tne oiu aw chutes Irrigation Power Company, the name under wmcn tne pi"". . Ti..iinn rvimnanv started it. career, would be to recapitulate more lawsuits, trials, tribulations and failures than could be embraced in one article of ordinary length. Anyhow, let the dead past bury Us dead, it would serve no good purpose to go into details and rake up the bitterness of the contest, waged to and fro between the State Land Board, the Deschutes irrigation Power Company, the i set tlers and the communities. If the whole story were to be told it would probably sift the matter down to failures caused by faulty engineering and bad management at the beginning By the former the company undertook to reclaim a vast area at something- like SIS an acre, whereas the cost was. or would have been if carried to com pletion, three times that. Complaints Are Examined. The present Ceny-al Oregon Company finally took over the three serera tlons. known locally as the North Canal, the Powell Butte and the Bon ham Falls projects, embracing all told about 137.000 acres. Nothing more than such preliminary work necessary to protect the water right has been done on the latter project, embracing 74.198 acres, so I will not discuss that it the present time. I was sent out here to taka up the work of the two former projects, the Powell Butte and North Canal segrega tions, and for several days I have pursued my Investigations, much ol which time has been devoted to listen ing to complaints against the company, its managers, its employes and its treatment of settler., i. e.. thoee Who have taken up land under the project. And I really think I am pretty well qualified to give the reader a fair Idea of the situation. These projects have an area, of approximately 163.000 acres, which Includes the waste or non-ir-rlgable land, which will average some thing like i per cent of the total. That leaves about 155,000 acres to be watered. The Central Oregon Company as tne successors of the oid De.chutea Ir rigation 6c Power Company began Its career with an Indebtedness of close to 11.000,000. of which approximately 1300 000 was represented by t per cent bonds, which were held principally in Columbus. O., and Portland. Or. It was the default on the interest o. these bonds that caused the receiver ship and flnaliy the utter collapse of the old company. That occurred three or four years ago and no Interest has been as yet paid. Bondholders Arc C-oafldeat. The present local head of the Cen tral Oregon concern is Roscoe Howard, and after listening to the complaints mentioned above I came here and spent sufficient time with him and his cashier. W. W. Howard, to pretty fully dig down to the facts as to what has been done, what is being done and what the company intends to do. How ever, before going into that It is best to say that the company Is really managed by a committee of three rep resenting the bondholders, called the bondholders' executive committee. F. Kwlng Martin, of Columbus. O., the at torney and reprvsatiVve of the ex ecutive committee, has taken up his residence at liend and I had a long and pleasant Interview, with him. The position of the bondholders can be readily understood. They hold JSOO.OOO worth of worthless securities worthless unless the projects are carried to completion. If this Is done tney think they will get -the face value of their bonds and all interest charges. They think this so hard. that last year they put in something like another $100,000 to build a dam below Hend, which supplies the North Canal, and they will put in more money as it Is needed to do other construction work. Now as to the complaints, which in clude those sent by mail to The Ore gonian. and which, as a matter of fact, ...nnn.ihi. for tti v trio and m v Investigations. Who were and who are the fault Ondersi tt '"i" "--'ai-. t,in. i the first place the com pany pays Its bills promptly save Its interest to' bondholders. Locally the redit of the company Is good. The rompany pays its men good wages and alio pays tuem prompuj. 1 .iplan.tlou Lies la Tw Classes. Now lefs -divide the people of Crook County into two classes those who take water from the company and those who do not. I have shown that the latter seem to get a square deal, for their only interest it would seem is for the upbuilding of the country and honest treatment financially. They ertalnly get the latter. The former cant be had If the settlers on these lands are successful. But stick a pin rUnt there. Make a wide but a sharp distinction between the settlers on Uifse lands and those other owners who do not live upon them. Io not for. a single Instant lose sight of that distinction. Remember I made it at the beginning of this paragraph by dividing the community Into water users and non-users. I think I interviewed 200 water users, patrons of the Central Oregon Company, land owners or lessees deal ing directly with the comrany. And in only two or three cases were there anv complaints whatever, and these were trivial, trifling and mere mat ters of detail that can and will be ar ranged at the cost of a few dollars. As to the water supply there was not 1 single word Implying & shortage, :hey ail get all the water they want ind get It when they want It. And not a single water user had a a-ord to say against the company of a financial nature. No man complained f sharp practices or harshness In en- TITE MORXiyO OREGOXIAN. MONDAY, MAT 13, 1913. ' - .

On the other hand doxens and dosetis of these people told me they were far behind In their pay ments of principal, and come of them had not paid their Interest for two or three years and coma of them were behind In principal, interest and main tenance, the latter being from SO cents to 1 per year for each Irrigable acre Real Settlers Gives F.very Chance. Just a concrete example: While In Descliutes I saw a man approach and enter the general office of the com pany. A short time later he came out and I met him down on the platform. Here Is his story: Two years ago this Spring he bought land and paid one fourth down. Since then he has paid the company not a cent, bis arrearages amounting to over 11000. But. and mark the but, he has remained on the land, baa kept improving it. has fenced and cross fenced it, is In reality mak ing a home of It and on It, and what Is more, be says he can, during the next two years, pay up what he owes and what will become due, for he has three good milch cows and a good start In hogs, and plenty cf clover and alfalfa to keep three times as many. He came to the company s office dis couraged, ready to throw up the sponge, expecting to pack up and. leave, down and out. Mr. Howard told him to go home and forget all about the principal and pay the Interest and maintenance as soon as he conveniently could. "Tou stick to the land and we will stick to you." Those were the parting words of the manager. "You stick to the land' and we will stick to you." Who. then, are the complalners, the kickers, the knockers? As a rule they are people who bought land from the company, expecting to make some Quick and easy money by selling out at a fabulous profit before the-second payment became due. In other words, they are shoestring speculators, who stand between the settler and the land. There you have. It In a nutshell, and there Is the whole trouble that we hear so much about on the Central Oregon Company's segregations. Had the lands originally been sold only to actual set tlers Crook County would today be so far In advance of what It Is well, there would be ten prosperous farmers where there now Is one. MURRAY RETURNS TO PLEAD Denver Man Admits Haying Pawned Miss Kline's $S50 Ring. Constable Weinberger arrived In Portland last night from Denver, where he went to secure Frank Murray, a Denver man wanted here to answer to an indictment sworn, to by Emma Kline, a young business woman who has charge of the cigar stand at a local hotel.
