NEW IRRIGATION RULES
Make t Easy to Acquire Tltl
To Irrigated Lands
ONLY THREE MONTHS' RESIDENCE NOW
Plenty of Water In Pinkerton Well, at
Depth of 102 Feet Petition tor
Changes In Madras-Culver Road
After many tnoptbs of dieagreemen
and controversy oyer (lie adnpiion o
irrigation rules, tlio tate Land Board
and the D.eschutes Irrigation Powe
Company have reached, an agreement
satisfactory tp all parties. The state
hoard recedes from the position i.t had
taken In requiring actual residence
upon the land, and th,e rules adopted
require only that there sha.ll boa resi
deuce of three months prior to making
proof of reclamation, cultivation, and
settlement.
The proof must be made within
three years after application to pur
chase. The reclamation must consist
of the irrigation and cultivation of at
least one-eighth of the traot applied
fur, within the three. year limit
which is practloally the same require
ment as uuder the federal Desert Land
Act in that particular.
Under the old rules it was required
that residence must be established
upon the land within six months, and
maiulaiued until final proof of recla
mailon was made. The new rules
will be of great aid to the company in
selling the land, for residents of other
states can now purchase the laud, and
need only come to the land in time to
make the three mouths' residence be
fore making final proof.

Drilling luu been suspended on the
N. II. Pinkerton well on Agency
Plains at u depth of 102 feet, as Mr,
Plnlcertou believes the supply of water
which the well now furnishes will be
sufficient for all purposes at his ranch
Water was struck In this well at t
depth of 59 feet, but as the flow from
the two small veins Btruck did uot
amount to moro than 15 callous an
hour, drilling was continued and the
well put down nearly 60 feet deeper,
through a very hard basalt formation
At a depth of 102 feet the How of water
hah luureasod, aud it is believed that
the well will now furuish sufficient
water for ranch purposes, although it
will uot bo sufficient to supply water
to neighboring ranches.
Tho success in tho Pinkerton well
will encourage others to try for water
on Agency l'lulus. in tho W. i.
M;iglll community well plenty of
water was secured at a depth of 400
feet for all who owned an interest in
tho well. Tho Plukertou well, while
uot furnishing so much water, struck
Its first How of water at only 59 feet,
and the success of these two wells ha?
demonstrated tho practicability of
well drilling on the plains. A mini
berof other wolis will be drilled on
Agenoy Plains duriug tho comlugyeur.

A petition will be presouted to the
county court at tho January term, ask
tug for a number of changes In the
Madras end ot the road between this
place and Culver, whore (ho road cuts
diagonally across a number of home
steads. This road cuts across the S. E.
Gray, Fred Davis, J, T. Bennett, I. D.
Brown. 11. Robisou aud L. II. Arens-
meler homeateadt, aud the petition
will ask that it bo changed so as
prautioally to follow thesectlou lines.
The county road viowers will doubtless
ho ordered to view out and report on
the proposed road, aud unless it be
found that tho changes will be a
detriment to the main traveled road
between this place and Culver, the
now road will in all llkellhuod be
established, The most radical change
In the road Is at tho Hahn place,
where Instead of cutting diagonally
across the Arenamelr tract tho roud
extends on east to tho northeast cor-
nur of section 27, and then runs due
uorth one mile along tho section line.
NEW CONTEST AGAINST LUCAS PLACE
Morton Doty hat tiled anew contest
against the homestead eutry of Frank
Lucas on Ageuoy Plains, aud tho
testimony In tho case will be taken
hero on January 6. The allegedj
grounds for contest are abandonment
and faliuro to reside upon and culti-'
vate tho tract.
A contest was once before filed
against the Lucas place by Mr, Doty,
the grounds for that contest being
alleged misrepreqentatlp.na In an ap
plication for leave of absence by Lucas.
Testimony was taken here, and tho;
local land office at The Dalles decided
the contest in favor of the contestant,
Doty. On appeal, however, tho Com-'
inlsaionerof tho General Land Office,
reversed that decision, and from the,
fact that a new contest Is now Btarted,
It is aeauraed that the Secretary of Urn
Interior upheld his decision.
Tho Frank Lucas homestead wasono.
of the flrst filed, and is one of the best
known places on Agency Plains, lying
Just south of the Martin Pratt place.
Shortly after filing Mr. Lucaa went to,
Arizona on accouu$ o( bhj wife's ill-,
health, and since then he has neve.
resided upon the land- Mrs. Lucas
died in Arizona duriug the present
year, and it was reported here that'
Mr. Lucas would return and reside.
upon bis homestead, but he has not,
done so. The Lucas place always
attracted attention from people cross
ing Agency Plains, because although,
it is one of tho nicest looking pieces of
iaud up there, and e.u.rrou.n,ded by eule
tjvated and Improved tracts. It remalna

BUYS ASSIGNED STOCK
Chester E. Roush last week bought of

bankrupt stock of general merchandise
formerly owned by Mrs. Lena M. Lamb,
and took charge of tho store on Wed
nesclay. Ifo has placed the stock on
sale, preparatory to making room for an
entirely new stock of goods. Mr. Roush
has been in business in Madras for sev
eral years and has had a chance to
study conditions, and his now venture
is evidence of his confidence in Madras

only is Madras a good business point
now, but its stability as a trading cen
ter for this section for the futuro is
assured by its location. Mr. Roush
will conduct his mercahtilo business in
the building formerly occupied by Mrs.
Lamb.
