The Deschutes Irrigation & Pw
company has been organized, ana Will
redeem 210,000 acres of arid land in
Crook" county. 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

' Sumpter, Or., Feb. H. 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. Wdrk at this property was
abandoned' last fall, owing to the bad
weather setting In before the company
had things in shape for winter. - It is
now the Intention of the management
to construct cabins necessary for con
tinuous work in all kinds of weather.
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. They came in yes
terday from a trip t6 the Highland with
Otto Herlocker and Frank Shelton, gen
eral manager and secretary respectively
or mis company, ana lett tn the after
noon in company with James A. How
ard, general manager of the Goloonda,
for a visit to the Cracker creek mines.
A wire received yesterday by the

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

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
