THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON. FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 19Q7.

THE DESCHUTES CO.
UNDER LIMELIGHT
Government Will Probe Methods of
Hlg Irrigation nnd Power
Concern.
Whether the Deschutes Irrigation
& Power Company is justified In ln-
' creasing the price of Its land from
$10 to $25 an acre and whether the
land is being Irrigated in accordance
with the terms of the grant under
the Carey Act will shortly be Investi
gated by the State Land Board and
Thomas B. Neuhausen, special In
spector of the Interior Department
representing the government.
It is understoon that Oswald West,
State Railroad Commissioner, nnd
formerly state land agent, will repre
sent the governor in the inquiry into
the question of advanced price, while
Inspector Neuhausen will see wheth
er the company has complied with
the terms of the Federal grant to the
extent of putting water on the land.
The Deschutes Irrigation & Power
Company will have to settle with the
etate as far as its rights are con
'cerned, but the government will have
first to be satisfied that the land has
been irrigated as contemplated in the
grant.
i There is said to be dissatisfaction
among prospective settlers at the in
crease in price of the land from $10
an acre to $25, as authorized by the
State Land Board, whose two new
members are Secretary of State Ben
eon and State Treasurer Steel. This
more than doubles the originally
contemplated price of the land to
settlers and correspondingly increas
es the profits of the company.
Much is to be determined by the
Investigation to be made. If Mr.
Neuhausen falls to find that the grant
has been complied with as to Irriga
tion, an adverse recommendation by
him would have the effect of causing
the government to refuse to issue
patent to the state, and would result
in an indefinite delay in the power of
the state to give title to the settlers,
ever under the magnified price ar-Tangement.
JUDGE MAHONEY SOAKS
DISTURBER FOR $20 AND-
fe. Parsley, a newcomer from Rose
burg, created a rough house in the
Palace restaurant Wednesday night.
He was taken into custody by N'ight
Ofilcer Condron and left in the lock
up until yesterdny forenoon when he
was taken before Justice Jay Ma
honey and fined twenty dollars nnd
costs. Not having the required
amount, ho was released on his own
recognizance and given until three
o'clock to make good, or take the
alternative of working the fine out
on the public streets. He never came
back, and the officials are satisfied
with being so well rid of him.

MARSHFIELD, :
CORVALLIS AND ALSEA
RAILROAD COMMENCED
"Work on Coast Road Started From
College City Steel Kuils
On Hand.
Corvallis, Ore., Aug. 8. Grading
on the Corvallis & Alsea River Rail
road was begun Monday. The call of
Mr. Carver for men and teams Is seen
in the local papers. It is not expect
ed to put on a heavy force just at
the present, but the plan is to get
the grade finished, If possible, before
the country gets muddy. The grad
ing was begun on the south side of
Mary's river at Corvallis and will
proceed juat east of the old Southern
Pacific right of way. Five miles out
the line will diverge to the westward
.somewhat. At Corvallis the survey
crosses Mary's river just east of the
old Southern Pacific bridge site and
provides for depot grounds south and
slightly east of the Southern Pacific
station. The line along the South
ern Pacific right of way south is ex
tremely easy to build, and that route
to Bellfountaln has been found to be
a mile shorter than the original
route. About fifteen cars of steel
rails for the line have arrived up to
the present, and additional cars are
coming in almost every day.
