The concern is capital ised at 32,500,000. and will begin active work without delay. Application has been made of the state land board for 80.000 acres additional to that which was under the control of the Pilot Butto Development company and the Oregon Irrigation company. A. M. Drake, the promoter of the Pilot Butte company, who is now associated with the consoli dated concern, said: : ' X "The two old companies which nave been absorbed by the new organisation were involved In litigation, which has for a long time retarded their growth. The trouble was In the securing of r the land at different points along the Des chutes river, which complicated the right of way of both sides and. made it a question as to the rights of each com. pany in crossing . torritory claimed by the other, and a costly proceeding to hrinar water on some of the land' by n circuitous route so as nof.to conflict with the plans of the other. It was- nnany agreed that a- new company be formed. Over 100.000 acres that could not. be touched' before will now be brought un der the water-line. The canal wlU tap the river eight miles higher up, and the high line ditch will be 186 reet bdov that at first contemplated.' "In two weeks we can connect two o the canals partly completed and have a ditch full of water about 18 miles long.-"through which we can irrigate about 30,000 acres. Before we get the venture completed we will have at least 200 miles of main ditching and double that of feeders. It is estimated that th cost of the reclamation will be about $12 per acre. The principal crops wll . be alfalfa and feed of various kinds. The pushing of the Columbia Southern Into the territory will give all outlet for the products." J. I. Johnson, who represents' tin eastern capitalists in the venture, Is en thusiastic over the project.- He leave: for the east today to mass the final ar rangements. Ju King Wilson has charge of the legal end of the new company, which will es tablish officer In Portland. These will be In charge of Robert E. Guerln of Seattle, who will establish an Immigra tion bureau for the securing of settlers to locate on the lands. He may estab lish offices lh some of the large cities In the-central states for the advertising of Oregon, and secure agents to estab lish colonies to locate In the Deschutef country.

San Francisco, Feb. IS. The head of Zlon, John Alexander Dowle, lost- his temper on the voyage from San Fran cisco and said mean things about the passengers. Smoking annoyed him and card playing was a burden. He ob jected to merriment and he and his at tendants refused to sign the resolution of thanks to Captain Harrlman when the steamer drew hear Hawaii. He sent a waiter to a passenger who was smok ing asking him to throw the nasty weed overboard. The passenger only grinned and Dowle was furious. He told, of storms at sea that might come up and wash the wicked' to a watery grave. He kept aloof from the people on the Ship.' y : : ' .. - Spent Enjoyable Evening.

A movement Is on foot here for the annexation "to Baker county of some 800 square miles of territory now within the boundaries of Grant county. This matter has been much, talked of for a considerable time. buc never has taken definite shape, until now. The proposed annexation includes a- strip- along the eastern end of Grant county about 18 by SO miles and takes in the following mining districts: -Part of the Cable Cove district, -Lake, Creek, La Bellevue, Monumental' Magnolia, Granite, Alamo, part of the Greenhorns, and the north fork of the John Day, all of which are tributary to Sumpter. J. J, O'Dalr and J. W. Tabor, prominent citizens of Granite, were nere yester day and most heartily endorse the pro posed annexation, stating that all of the above named districts naturally look to Sumpter as their base of supplies and main center, and that In their opin ions the unanimous sentiment of the people living In these districts is that they should - be -annexed - to, .Baker county.. It Is about a six-days' trip from Granite to Canyon City, the county -seat of .Grant coumy, . while the trip . may be made to Baker City, the county seat of Baker county, .in less than two days, therefore the territory naturally be longs to Baker -coun ty. Of course, it will require a special act of the legislacure to effect a division, and It Is the inten tion to' endeavor to choose a representa tive from the county who will carry the matter to a favorable termination. E. J. Wallace, owner of a placer prop erty In Stice's gulch, returned from there this week, where he went to get things In shape tor the resumption of work. He Intends Installing a pumping plant In 'the spring. It Is understood that the placer in Stice's gulch owned by the Klllen-warner-Stewart. company of this city, which adjoins that of Mr. Wallace, has made an excellent showing. Work was suspended there a few days ago, pending the opening up of spring. - Gold was recently encountered there on the bedrock,' which was reached at a depth of 23 feet, that goes as high as $9 and $10 to the cubic yard. , Drifts will be started 'from, the bedrock as soon as work Is resumed. ' The Cracker Highland Mining com pany, operating in the. Cracker Creek district,' will resume operations In a short time.

The crosscut which already shows signs of mineralization, will be pushed ahead ft A report from Chine creek is to the effect 'that Major Bonta now has a corps of engineers in that locality surveying for a better grade along the creek for his proposed railway from Baker City Into the John Day country. Major Bonta is now in the east, and it is understood that he has practically completed ar rangements for the financing of the en terprise, and that the object of putting men to work at this time is to complete the surveys so as to let cmtracts for the construction of the road in the spring, that the same may be pushed to completion during the early summer months. ' A. ' hi Sternberger and I A. Huber of Chonberg, Pa., are making an Inspec tion of the district.

Robert Nelson, clerk at- the Sumpter valley station, met with a very painful accident Friday while unloading a cast ing weighing some 8.000 pounds' for the E. K. Mr. Nelson and three other men were engaged in taking the casting rrom the car when the plank on which It was being removed broke, the main part of the weight falling on Mr. Nel son's, left leg, bruising It very badly from the fo6t to the knee. It is thought that some of the small bones in the foot are broken. He went to Baker Satur day afternoon for treatment.
