f&m? WS"r WT3r" 2$ THE SUNDAY OREGONIAlSr, PORTLAND, AUGUST 18, 1901. ,"" NEW WATERING WORKS JLX IRRIGATIOX ENTERPRISE FOR WALKER BASIX, CROOK CO. Company With. $1,000,000 to Begin Active Field "Work This Week May Ignore Carey Law. Field work on another big irrigation en terprise In Crook County will be begun this -week. It contemplates bringing under irrigation a little valley on the upper course of the Deschutes River, known as "Walker Basin. That basin includes about 100,000 acres of excellent sagebrush land, and it Is estimated that about 00,000 acres of that area can be brought under the proposed Irrigation system. The soil is so very porous, however, that it will 3e an expensive iob to carry the water. It will be necessary to cement the canals in order to prevent seepage that would soon exhaust the water supply. The soil is said to be exceptionally rich and it is free of stones, water only being needed to make it ideal farming land. But the altitude is about 4500 feet above the sea, and the temperature is so low that only the hardy crops flourish there. It is adapted particularly to fattening cattle for the market. The Oregon Development Company, which filed Incorporation articles at Salem last week and has an authorized capital of $1,009,000, will conduct this irrigation enterprise. Eastern capitalists will supply the money for it, but a small amount of the stock being held in Oregon. J. E. Morrison, who recently came to Oregon from Minneapolis, Is president of the new corporation. His attention was first drawn to the Walker Basin last April, and he then made a cursors' examination or the place, which convinced him that it would "be a good field for an investment In irri gation works. Then he made a trip to the East and began arrangements which have matured into an organization prepared to go ahead with the project. A surveying c-re-w -will -be put In Xhe Held this -week to locate routes for ditches and make esti mates of the cost of the improvement. President Morrison says he doesn't know whether his company will proceed under the terms of the Carey arid land act or take an independent course. Under the Carey law there are certain guaranties that can not otherwise be obtained, such as the Hen on the land for interest on the capital Invested in the irrigation plant On the other hand, however, that law re quires a considerable amount of official supervision, which might subject the company to annoyance through red tape, delays, etc As this company does not look to ownership of the land for its com pensation, it is inclined to Ignore the Carey law entirely and to start out on an independent business basis. By doing this It would get its returns from sale of the water. There would be a certain charge per acre for the water delivered in the fields. The Irrigation plant would be on the same basis as private water systems that bupply cities. The company would not have any special lien on the land for its investment but would depend on the demand for water for Irrigating crops, and the charge would be such as would permit development of the country and at the same time yield profit to the company. It would be to the Interest of the company to offer inducements for set tlers, for it could do nothing without pur chasers for its water. The water supply will be taken from the Deschutes. The proposed irrigating system will be on the east side of that stream, the west side ascending to the Cascades. With Irrigation that section could hardly be surpassed, it is said, for farming and stockraising. The land has long been surveyed by the Government, but almost none of it "has been taken by settlers. A strip of timber lies between Walker Basin and the forest reserve, but that was scripped a. few months ago by Eastern fimbermen. Walker Basin is about 30 miles southerly from Prineville. HARDY'S CHARGES DENIED. Ervin and Beckett Tell of Their Ttelations "With Him. In regard to the suit filed Friday in the Circuit Court enjoining K. S. Ervin and James Beckett from beginning any action against J. B, Hardy & Co., a cor poration, which was in the tailoring busi ness in Portland, prior to August 10, Messrs. Beckett and Ervin were seen yesterday by an Oregonian reporter. They emphatically denied the charges made against them. They say that the charges are false, malicious and odious, and were made solely to annoy the new firm of IC S. Ervin & Co. The charges so mi nutely drawn up in the complaint were instigated and concocted, they say, by the agents of J. R. Hardy & Co., or by Hardy himself, who, they say, practically owns all the stock of J. R. Hardy & Co. "Hardy," said Mr. Ervin, "has simply attempted to forestall suit now pending and brought by me against Hardy & Co. for salary due. The correctness of the books will be verified when the case comes before the court. Any changes made In the original statement of the books, and Tendered by an expert accountant employ ed by Beckett and Ervin as managers for Hardy & Co., Ltd., were made by Hardy or his agents since the books were turned over to him with the evident intention of defrauding Beckett and Ervin out of their just profits of the business." Messrs. Ervin and Beckett showed the reporter several letters and a cablegram from Mr. Hardy which seemed to show that he was satisfied with their man agement "Everything had been satisfactory to Mr. Hardy," declared Mr. Beckett, "un til we withdrew as his agents and went into business for ourselves. Even as late as the middle of July he cabled us from London, after he had received our resig nations, to -know, if some new arrange ment could not be made. When we re plied that our decision was final, he came to Portland, and finally brought the suit to annoy us and hurt our busi ness, we have rendered monthly state ments, and there has been no complaint. We will be able to show, when the mat ter comes to trial, that everything is cor rect so far as we are concerned, and that the allegations are false." MUST REPAIR SIDEWALKS. Street Committee Recommends the Fassngre of a Sew Ordinance. At the meeting of the street committee of the City Council yesterdav afternoon an ordinance concerning sidewalk repairs was recommended to the Council for passage. It provides for compelling own ers, lessees, occupants or agents of prop erty to repair sidewalks within five days after being notified by the City Engineer. "Violation of the ordinance will be a mis demeanor, and will be punished as such. That part of the city north of Burn side street will be exempted from the stone sidewalk ordinance, with the ex ception of Third and Sixth streets, an amendment to that effect having been recommended to the Council. Another ordinance recommended for passage Telates to the repair of wooden sidewalks and crosswalks within the stone sidewalk district. Should this ordi nance become a law. wooden sidewalks may not hereafter be repaired beyond one-third of their original cost. The City Engineer's report concerning the laying out of East Eighteenth street from Brown's addition to Belleview ad dition, was adopted and recommended. The petition for laying out .and estab lishing East Davis and East Everett streets was rejected. Names of certain streets In Sellwood were ordered changed, to conform with streets on the East Side. The viewers' report on the opening of Fifth street at Ankeny was returned to the City Council. Auditor Devlin was ordered to publish a notice in regard to grading and ma cadamizing Overton street from Fifteenth to Sixteenth. Pcttygrove street, from Twenty-third to Twenty-fourth was or dered to be graded and macadamized. WOULD NOT STAND THE RAISE Landlord Quarrels With Tenant and Goes Into Court. H. D. Winters, who owns the Winters building, on Grand avenue and East Ev erett street, was plaintiff in a suit to eject D. Coulter from a storeroom In the building which was tried yesterday be fore Justice Vreeland. Mr. Winters has appeared in nearly all the courts of Port land as defendant, but In this case he was plaintiff. He acted as his own attorney, and was opposed by John DItchburn. Coulter had been paying Winters $10 a month for the storeroom, but Winters demanded $20. Coulter refused to see the raise. He showed a written lease for one year, with the prlivlege of keeping the room another year at the same rate. Winters was the only witness in his own behalf. He declared that the provis ion giving Coulter the privilege of rent ing for another year was a forgery. In his argument he quoted Scripture very liberally. He called attention to the fact that Satan took the Savior up on a high mountain and offered him all that he, could see if he would fall down and wor- Big' Bachelors and Little Benedicts at Their Favorite Game of Cricket. ship him. "And yet," declared Winters, "the devil didn't have a cent." This he tried to apply to the defendant's posi tion, although the application was -far?' fetched. The lease was produced by Coulter, and the Justice construed it that the defend ant had the right to the storeroom an other year for $10 a month. Winters told the Justice it was mighty poor logic. He i as told there were other courts and he could take an appeal. FUNSTON TELLS OF IT. KnnfmK General "Writes of His Fam ous Capture of Ajrninaldo. The capture of Aguinaldo was not only a piece of-unmatched American bravado; but a week of hardship and danger sel dom equalled in the annals of war. Few Americans yet realize what fear less hardihood was necessary to lead a band of unproven Maccabebes and per haps treacherous Tagalos so far from friends and food supplies. Now, for the first time, is told the mar velous story with all the graphic details of dangers and hardships encountered and overcome by true American grit and wit. Everybody's Magazine cabled to Gener al Funston, and he consented to write the story himself; and now.'his enthusias tic fellow-countrymen who are so proud of him can enjoy the picturesque Kansan's own narrative of his audacious exploit. In the September number of Everybody's Magazine is Funston's account, which fol lows Aguinaldo's Own Story which was printed in the August number of the same magazine (now sold out almost ev erywhere), gives the two sides of the greatest military exploit of modern, times. Everybody's Magazine deserves great credit for its enterprise in obtaining two such valuable and interesting articles; but Everybody s is now one of the brightest and most wide-awake magazines, though its price Is only 10 cents. WILL BUILD A PUBLIC BATH Promoter Wllklns San an Idea That One Will Pay. While subscriptions are being taken for a free swimming bath, M. W. Wil klns, an East Side man, is preparing to build a bathhouse as a business undertak ing. It will be a two-story bathhouse, the ground, or rather the water plan to be 3G feet by 72 feet. It will cost $2500. Mr. Wilklns says, and he proposes to have It ready within 40 days. The loca tion depends upon the city authorities, but he has chosen the north side of Mor rison street bridge, opposite the boat house of the Portland Rowing Club. Steps nill be constructed from the side of the bridge to enable patrons to reach the boat. Mr. Wilklns does not think his swim ming baths will interfere with the free baths project, as at least four free swimming bath houses will be needed In Portland, and there are people who would prefer to pay for the knowledge of learning to swim, anyway. To make his institution popular In Winter, he will ar range to have the water heated to a pleasant temperature. ON RAILROAD PROPERTY. Sheriff Serves nn Execution Calling: for ?1,C78,SS0 50. The Sheriff's office yesterday served a writ of execution in a case involving tho largest amount ever named in any case heretofore brought in this county. It is the case of the Seattle & Montana Rail road Company against the Portland & Puget Sound Railroad Company. The amount involved was $1,67S,SS6 56. The Sheriff levied on all the property of the defendant company which could be found here. It consists of a railroad right of way across Colonel Frank Shaw's island in the Columbia opposite Vancou ver, and Includes a partly constructed railroad bridge at that point. . Paxton, Beach & Simon are attorneys for tha plaintiff. I CRICKET GAME A DRAW MARRIED MEN MADE MOST RUNS, BUT SCORE WAS DISPUTED. Cntvston Was King of the Batters, With 41 Made by Gllt- Edgcd Placing. The Big Bachelors and the Little Bene dicts of the Portland Cricket Club met on the cricket crease at Multnomah field yesterday, and the Benedicts did not do a thing to the Bachelors but give them a game for all they were worth. Accord ing to the books, the score stood at the end of the game: Benedicts 116 and Bachelors 112. That meant a moral vic tory for the married men by four runs, but at the last moment a dispute arose as to the value of boundary hits some players holding that hits or byes to the north and east fences counted four, and others saying two. Instead of two scor ers, about a round dozen of scorers ap peared, and it was decided to report the game as a drawn one, with the advan tage in favor of the married men. It is likely that the game will be played over with the'-same players, after the Puget Sound matches are finished. Cawston was the king of the batsmen with a score of 41 runs gained by genuine cricket. He ha.d one four, nine doubles, and 15 singles, and he punished the bowl, ing UntJi the fielders w$re weary. The brunr-of'the attack was 'borne by young man" Lumgair,. and" lie .opened With a pretty four, succeeded ly a three, Gil man, Jr., just" had one hit for three, when Smith, trapped him with a seductive break. "Van Heekeren was the next man, and he fell to Crocker, who disposed of him by a well-held catch before the bats man could score. The scoring rose when Cawston joined Lumgair. Cawston opened cautiously for three singles, and for a time he was the despair of the bowlers. But by this time Lawrence was bowling splendidly, and he clean bowled Lumgair. Newill soon after turned the same trick for Cawston. After this the only stands were made by Latta and Perrott. The fielding was ragged, due to the fact that at times a longstop was entirely dispensed with and 15 byes were allowed. Smith made a good impression with his bowling for a cricketer who has not played for years, but his arm gave out early. He bowled the only wldes in the inning, and he made way for Foster at the down end. The star play of the latter part of the game was made by doughty Captain Young, of the British ship Poltalloch. He hit one ball for two with such force that it damaged the grandstand, and when he retired he had the proud consciousness of knowing that all the united bowling talent of the Ben edicts could not put him out. With 112 runs to make, the married men faced their eager opponents, who had Lum gair and Cawston as bowlers. The bats men were Lawrence and Dakyns, but alas for the uncertainty that marks the gentle game of cricket! Before Lawrence had time to make the 50 or 60 his admir ers hoped to see, he sent a catch in the direction of Rae and that young man held the ball. Lawrence was out with his "duck." "Too bad. We're licked now," said the gloomy married men. But strangely enough, hope arrived from unexpected sources. uaKyns naa on nis Ditting clothes, and when he and Scott got to gether the score began to rise. Scott opened with the caution of his race, and scored a single, then two doubles, and he began to block. So warm did the batsmen' make matters, that a change of bowlers was tried and Gilman bowled two overs. Then Brown trted bowling and after sending in two wldes, he bowled Scott for 29. The batsman got an ovation when he reached the pavilion, and he was called on for a speech, but modestly declined. Smith, Bixter and Crocker all played well, and by this time the byes were allowed to increase at a rapid rate so much so that the fielders afterward refused to believe that 24 byes had passed. The last hope cen tered on Windle. The score was 95 when he took hold, and it scarcely seemed possible that 112 could be reached. But Gilman blocked, the byes Increased, the fielding got a little wild, and Windle hit his 7, and the thing was done 116 runs. Then difference of opinion arose as to the value of boundary hits and byes. Some of these had been called out by the umpires and some had not. To avoid such a dispute in the future, it would be well if the umpires should call out the value of each boundary, and that there should be .only two. or three regu lar scorers.

An action has been filed in the State Circuit Court against J. E. Culllson by L. L. Langley in behalf of several per sons for. the recovery of $12,000. They al lege that Mr. Culllson has refused to refund their money or to make an ac counting. The persons who have turned over their 'claims to Langley In order to simplify matters, and the various sums they claim as far as can be estimated are: Leo Friede, $S576 42; N. Bourgeois, $1736 02; J. C. Robinson, $592 90; W. P. Adams, $234. - In-each separate case the same allega- ; ACAW5T0N THt OF tlons are made, as follows: That at all times while J. E. Culllson was .doing bus bness lu Portland under the qame of Culllson & Co.. he was conducting a bus. inesfa as a commission broker and was engaged in the husiness of buying and selling stocks, bonds, wheat, pork and other goods, wares1 and merchandise on commission, and as an agent or broker; and has so held himself out to this com plainant and to? his assignor and to the public. The suit is brought by Hoguc & Wilbur, who appear as attorneys for the plain tiff. Mr. Wilbur says he has been unable to reach a settlement with Culllson. "He told me," said Mr. Wilbur, referring to Culllson, "that he was only running a bucket shop and was not acting as agent for these assignees. He represented to me that he was sim ply an agent to buy and sell stocks, and as such they dealt with him." Mr. Cullison is now at the Coast, and no service has been had on him, but the papers will be served as soon as he returns. Groener Divorce Cnse.

She alleges that her husband has treated her cruelly and only last Monday as saulted her. She further alleges that he has a temper which he fails to control, and more than once has called her names and heaped personal Indignities upon her. More than that, the complaint declares that Groener has been intimate with one Ruth Tompkins In connection with the complaint there is filed an affidavit in which Mrs. Groe ner states that she is the owner of a house and several lots In Brainard Ad dition, and that prior to his leaving her, Mr. Groener threatened to kill her.

Director Bench, of the Board of Trade, In Faor of Starting; the Ball Rolling at Once. The manner in which preliminary ar rangements for the Lewis and Clark Ex position are hanging fire is a matter of comment on the part of the friends of the undertaking, .among whom is F. E. Beach, one of the directors of the Board of Trade. Mr. Beach, in speaking of the matter yesterday, said: "The proposed exposition is an oppor tunity that seldom comes to a city, and to make it the success It justifies we should not permit a single day to go by without doing something to push It along. The exposition will mark an era in the development of Oriental trade, whose benefits will be felt not only by the city, but by the state, the Northwest and the Nation at large. Why Its promoters have decided to remain inactive I cannot say. I know them to be men of business qual ifications and good judgment, and that they are at heart interested in the suc cess of the undertaking. Still, It is two months since we have heard anything definite In regard to the project. "Four years is a long time to look ahead, but none too long, considering the magnitude of the undertaking and the preparations to be made at the very out set. We must set about obtaining -a re spectable appropriation from the Federal Government, and I think the Importance of the project demands a much larger I sum than was given to the St. Louis en terprise, which was $5,000,000. We should have at least $10,000,000, and we certainly will not get it unless we ask for it. It will prove the best Investment the Gov ernment ever made. "The site of the exposition should by all means be selected this Fall. The ground should be cleared and planted with ornamental trees, in order to give them all the growth possible. We should also prepare to have the President for mally break ground for the fair, and this event should be heradled to the world, both before and after It transpires, as it will mark the real beginning of a National undertaking. "The meeting of the commissioners of the various states in Portland will be an Important step, but we should not wait for It. Our citizens should, be up and doing, so that not a moment's time shall be lost. I know the sentiment is over- whelmlngly in favor of the enterprise, as the demand for Lewis Clarkbjjt- tons is growing daily Every business house should carry a supply of them to distribute among friends and travelers, and to send East. The buttons cost only a trifle, and the advertising resulting from their circulation would redound to our benefit from the start. I have worn one of these buttons ever since they came out, and I know what even one individ ual can do in the matter of informing strangers about our big exposition of 1905."
