RECLAMATION SERVICE
CONTINUES INVESTIGATION
Runs Contour Line From Prlnevllle To Madras
Large Tract Available To Irrigation--;
Plenty Money To Prose
cute Work,
If. J. Doolittlo, an engineer io llus
Reclamation Service of thcjeoyernineot,
was in Madras from Saturday until
Monday afternoon, finishing up his work
in connection with the investigation
which the Reclamation service lias been
conducting in this county. It is under
stood Unit the Reclamation Service is
looking for a good-sized irrigation pro
ject to take up, in thjs state, and that
tiie present investigation is for tiic pur
pose of gathering data in this section
with thnt end in view.
A contour line was run by Mr. Doolit
tlo and ids assistants from Prineville to
tins placo for the purpose merely of as
certaining the relativo elevation of the
country lying between, and at the same
time doubtless much other information
was gathered by him. A month or
more ago Mr, Doolittlo made a trip
down the Matolca ntv) on down the Des
chutes to Sherara Bridge, and also spent
some time in this immediate locality,
gathering data ttnd information in con
nection witii tlio investigation under
way. He went from this place to Prine
ville and continued his work in that
locality.
It is generally understood thnt if irri
gation is ever undertaken in this sec
tion, the water supply will come from
storage reservoirs on upper Crooked
river, where the flood waters of Winter
and Spring will be stored in large reser
voirs and let out through the channel of
the river as they aro required. The wa
ter would be taken out of tho river at a
point near Princville, and following the
general course of Crooked river, be
brought.around Juniper Butte into tins J
loualitff supplying water for irrigation
to tlu several hundred thousand acres
Of irrigable land which could be reached
by a distributive system, from the main
canal.
Oregon is in good shape to get its
share of the reclamation work which
the government is undertaking. This
state is second in the amount the vari
ous public land states have contributed
to the reclamation fund, this money
arising from the sale of public lands.
Fifty-one per cent of the money con
tributed to the fund by any state must
be spent in that state, and Oregon has a
lorge sum to its credit now. The gov
ernment has no reclamation work in
this state, except tiie work at Klamath,
which is well under way, and the work
at Jfermistoo, which is completed.
Mr. Doolittle would give out no infor
mation regarding the probability of the
government taking hold oi work in this
section, or even as to the result of his
investigation here, whether the outlook
was favorable or otherwise. He ex
plained that it wat contrary to tho pol
icy of the service to give out any infor
mation of this kind, and that iie was on
his way to Portland to report to the
chief of his department. HiB work here
was purely of a preliminary nature and
for the purpose of gathering data as to
the general lay of the land, and the sup
ply and availability of water, etc. Upon
sucli information as lias been gathered
by him and his assistants, a report to
the reclamation service will be based,
and should it he favorable, further and
more comprehensive investigation will
doubtless be undertaken at once.
COUNTY OFFICIALS
INSPECT NEW ROADS
Judge Ellis And County Commission
ers Visit North End Of County
Stop At Madras.
County Judge Ellis, Sheriff Frank El-
kins, Commissioners Rice and Bayley,
School SuperinteddentFord and County
Roudmaster McLaughlin made a trip
through tlda end of the county the last
of the week, and inspected the roads of
this section, more particularly the road
from Madras to tho main Prineville-
Shunlko road, through the Lyle &
Brown gap. They were in Madras last
Sunday evening on their Way hack to
Prineville, having come from Prinevdlo
to Heialer and from thnt point over the
ro:ul to Madrus. Superintendent Ford,
who was with them, hatf been inspect
ing tho schools in the Northeastern por
tion of the county.
It is understood that tho county offi-
cials were making a trip of inspection
through this section to familiarize them
selves witli tho condition of tho roads,
especially .with reference to the main
traveled road through the Lyle gap,
with regard to which a petition will bo
presented to tho next county court, ask
ing thnt it bo created a county road all
the way through to connect with tho
Prineville road. Only a portion of this
road is a county highway at this time,
and there has been 6ome controversy
over tho best route to bo chosen for tills
principal Western Crook county high
way. Judge Ellis lias contemplated
taking tlds trip ever since his election,
in order to fami iarizo himself with con
ditions in tlds end of the county, and
tho other members of tho party joined
him for tho same purpose. They were
piloted by Sheriff Ulkins, whose home
is in this precinct, and who feels a nat
ural intorest in this end of tho county,
CAUGHT IN BELT; RE
CEIVED SERIOUS INJURY
Son Of Hiram Waterhouso Has Arm
Broken By Catching In Belt
At Public Well.
Ray, tho 12-year-old Bon of Mr, and
Mrs, lllrnm Wnterhotlsd met with u
very serlouB accident last Friday even
ing, whilo playing near tho chopping
mill operated by his uncle, Charles wa
terhouso. Both of his arms wero caught
in a narrow pleco oi belting used to op
erate a woodaawj and hlfl body waa
swung twico completely over the lielt
shaft, seven feet from the floor, before
the engine was stopped.' His left arm
was broken in two places above the el
bow and once below the elbow, the
bones being split and badly shattered.
The arm is now in a very serious condi
tion, although Dr. Snook, who is attend
ing, thinks ho will be nble to save it.
Tho accident occurred at six o'clock in
tho evening, just as Mr. Waterhouse
was preparing to shut down for the
night. There was only 20 pounds of
steam on, to which fact the little fellow
owes ids life, as with full power on his
botJy would liavo been hulled over the
shaft witii sufficient force to dismember
it. As it was, there was just enough
steam on to run the pump, and tiie ad
ditional Weight of the email hoy's body
stopped tho engine after two revolutions
of the belt. When the engine stopped,
Mr. Waterhouse hurried into the mill
room to discover the cause, and found
Ray with both arms closely pinned to
the shaft. Tiie right arm was held
lengthwise of the shaft and no bones
were broken, but the left arm had been
twisted over the shaft and broken in
three place?.

. A press dispatch under a Xew York
date line of Nov. 5, says;
Not since the palmy prosperity days
f a few years ago, when the country
ran breathless in an effort to keep pace
witii its industrial and commercial ac
tivity, has there been noted as much
business progression as lias gripped tho
country in the past three days.
From every point of the compass,
from nearly every branch of industry in
the United States, word has gone forth
of renewed activity, and with it a call
for more men and better wages.
Mills throughout tiie New England
states, almost without exception, have
posted notices that within a day or week
plants would bo running at full blast.
Employes in instances have been noti
fied that they would be allowed over
time iu addition to increase in their
wage scale. RailroadB have issued or
ders for skilled workmen and laborers,
and word comes from officials of the St.
Paul system that even this soon after
election the great transcontinental lines
are making ready for the day soon to
come when millions will be spent in ex
tensions, new roads and improvements.
In line with this statement is the or
der placed by the Pennsylvania system
for 77 steel passenger cars besides hugo
orders for cars of other types. In Bos
ton today notice was posted at the shops
of the New Haven and Hartford .that
1800 employes will find places awaiting
them Saturday whep. the plants will re
sume on full time schedule.
Presidents and lesser officials of other
railroads and manufacturing establish
ments throughout the East are of ono
opinion in stating that since election tho
country has suddenly and irrevocably
settled down to a solid business basis
and that from the Atlantic to the Pacific
there is a quickened industrial impulse
which will spread until the entire na
tion is wrapped in the greatest era of
prosperity which lias ever been expe
rienced, READ-LANDRETH NUPTIALS
