FARMERS PETITION FOR
AN IRRIGATION DISTRICT.
Milton. Freewater and Hudwn Bay
Company Arrange for Construction
of Ditches—List of Petitioners to
the County Court.
i
The project which was detailed a'
length in the East Oregonian several
weeks ago for the organization of an
irrigation district at Milton and Free
v.ater. which was to be the first irri
gation district in the state under the
law of 1895, will probably crystallize.
At the time the plans were first
made public, it will be remembered
that there was some doubt about the
promoters hanging together. Most
of those interested had been using
water from private ditches for years
and many of them were loath to re-
linquish the privilege they had
so long enjoyed in their own wav
However, nearly everytxxiy interest
ed has tome to an understanding and
the proj»-ct will undoubtedly be put
through according to its original pro
jectors. or nearly so.
A good deal of the credit for the
present concert of action belongs to
Jonathan Talbert, who has been ac
live and insistent for a long time in
the interosts of the proposed district.
Through his efforts and those of
others the objections to th«- plan have
been allayed by a careful study of
the law of 1895. and its interprets
tion by Judge Lowell. It is expected
that the petitioners to the county
court will be those whose names ap
pear below. A few of the original
petitioners withdrew their names at
on«- juncture, when it was feared the
plan would have to be abandoned
but it is understood that these names
have ail or nearly all. been returned
to the list.
The petitioners are as follows:
Jonathan Talbert. W. H. Wilmot John

The interior department has ask.-d
for the submission of plans and spe

the proposed waterworks out at the
agency, for which surveys were ma ie
some time ago.
No plans have been submitted yet.
but the department intends to have
both completed and in perfect run
ning order by the middle of the sum
mer. The water will come from a
splendid spring which is considera
bly less than a mile from the agency
buildings. The new laundry will be
built of brick, and be 30x50 feet ir
size, one story in height. The floor
will be of cement, and the equipment
will be thoroughly modern. Every
article of machinery from the boilers
to the mangles will be of the latc-st

Cattle Healthy and in Good Flesh in
Northern Part of County—Thinks
New Methods Necessary in Sheep
Raising.
Stock Inspector Bean has just re
turned from a lo-days' tour of the
northern part of the county.
In that part of the county as well
as in other districts, he reports th«-
stock in fine condition except in the
foothills, The snow stayed on so
long and the continued cold weather
and long feeding also made the anl-
reals as a rule pretty thin, sheep, ?at-
tie and horses alike. But in w li
thirds of the area of the county the
stock of all kinds finished the win
ter in good condition, being healthy
as well as in good flesh.
There was. except in the hay pro
ducing districts, a scarcity of forage
and of hay. In only a portion of the
hay districts is there any surplus of
hay.
Mr. Beau believes th«- time is here
for the commencement ot somewhat
new methods in the sheep industry
in this county .the tendency being de
cidedly in favor of a mor«- intensive
system, From now on mor«- and more
alfalfa, grain and root crops will lx-
fed. and many of th«' sheep raises
are arranging to aliandon the policy
of hunting summer range jn the moun-
tains, as being expensive and final,
cially risky compared with lot-feed
ing of products raised on the ranch.
Mr. B«-an believes that after the re
adjustment of conditions, some of
which harve been mentioned, that
then- will be as many sheep in Uma
tilla county a» ever while the produc
tion of hay. grain and root crops will
be enormously Increased. Also that
there will lx- just as much money
made, while fewer risks will lie taken,
the n«-w methods eliminating most of
the risks the sheepmen now have to
contend with.
Irrigation Co-related.
He considers that the irrigation
question must b«- «-«»-related with ’he
realignment of factors controling the
sheep industry. The curtailment «rf
the fon-st ranges will be one factor
ot great influence in hastening thes--
changes. One result will be the pro
duction of a much larger per cent of
mutton sht-ep than now Many bre«-d
er* are already recognizing the errot
of exclusive woolgrowing and that
there is money esptH-ially in the rai*-
mg of yearling muttons
Mr Bean reports that there is scab
in but one flock in this county. anJ
only two flocks have had any traie
of the lisease this spring. The first
flock infected is now entirely *ree
from the complaint, and in the one
mentioned it is being rapidly gott-.-n
rid of. There has been no occasion
for the state veterinary being in ti.c
county since last fall.

W. C. McComas about three weeks
ago picked up on the shores of Switz-
ler's Island, in the Columbia, a huge
stone resembling crystal, that can be
seen in the window of Dr. Garretson's
store. It is light green in color, and
of the peculiar shade which belongs
to the emerald . There is very little
or no likelihood of It being an emer
aid, as it weighs nearly two troy
pounds. From every point of view It
is almost perfectly transparent. It is
thought by some to belong |n the same
-lass with the Brazilian crystal. It
is certainly a beautiful stone It will
be submitted very soon to the judg
