'-y ,' by the company soon after Its orgin'-' kation two years ago. ' The Pilot butte selection, of 14,707 acres, together with tha' water, rights, was purchased from tha Pilot ' Butte Development 'company, the ftrsf to start operations under the provisions of the. Carey act in thia county. -' Tha .abaorpOoa of ' the Pilot Butte, company was followed by the acquisition of the land segregation of 58.007 acres lying In tha -Walker, basin and - owned by . the Oregon Irrigation company. ' Then follQwedJ..th.e...appllc.a tlon for tha tract of 74,000 acre. . Pafent has not been granted to the latter nor to the Walker basin tract, the state requiring that water shall be placed upon the land before patents shall issue. --Laterals to Be rialshsd. With tha Pilot Butte segregation, ly ing; north and. east . of Bendt tha work of reclamation has been practically com pletadLfia.XOO'L acres. Thirty dayt'more andthe nafT1ateratitffllTTir-TacTi-soma of tha outlying forties, will have been computed, Tha work has eon turned many months and Jn the. aggre gate Toots np to kn'normous expendi ture, considering tha comparatively mail-area brought Under water.. -) ' The' canal work alone,N In one Instance, has eoat as high as 110.000 a mile, where there was .an unusually large amount of rock to be removed, and tha work generally of reclaiming this tract has proved tha most costly of any which the company ' will ba - compelled to stand. Tha main canal Is 31 miles In length, and feeding off of this are 4T miles of laterala measuring not less than 14 feet In width, besides over 100 'miles of laterals four feet In width. In the aggregate over ISO miles Of water lines have been constructed In order to f4ffll tha provisions of tha Carey act. which require that water be conveyed to each 40-acra subdivision of tha segregation. ' '.. Oentm Oreroa CanaX In addition to these ditches, tha cen tral Oregon canal, through which water Will be carried -to -the balance of tha (2,000 acres In tha Pilot Butte segre gation, has bean oonstrtioted a distance of 26 miles, making a sum total of 110 miles of canals through which water is running and carrying with It a trans formation of thia; section, of .Crook eonnty. - ----- ., . Both the central Oregon canal and tha PUot Butte canal are fed from tha 18 foot flume, supported on trestles a dis tance of . feet through tha high and rocky canyon of tha Deschutes. The. flume has -a -depth of rttvm f eat - with carrying capacity of 100 eublo feet flow per second. At the outlet tha water Is diverted Into tha two canals, tha one carrying It northward towards Redmond, tha other In an easterly direction to- wararPowenuTtesT-ThTrtydusTOdT acres or this segregation have bean sold and settlement and ..cultivation under tha ditches has 1eeft moderately rapid. To Xatroduoe Vow System. ' With tha approval by tha department 6f tha Interfo'r of ' tha balance of the land segregations, approximating- 111. 000 acres, an entire new system of irri gating these tracts will b Introduced. Tha aupply of water now, flowing through the canals will ba consumed in the reclamation of the - smaller selec tion, and in-order to reach this larger areata part - of which. : is considerably higher In altitude than that now under irrigation, new flumes and new canals of larger proportions will of necessity have to ba constructed. Tha company contemplates the building; of a flu ma Una with tha head gates at Benham falls, 14 miles south -of- Bend, and the building- of anothar fluma-and canal a abort distance north of '.Bend. . Surveys for both these schemes have bean comnlet- ad, but tha data atwhlch work wlll begin on . construction, depends largely noon the settlement of tha Pilot Ruit Segregation and the demand for morel Irrigated sections. -Both, however, -will ba larger Chan either tha Pilot Butta canal, which measures 10 feet in width. or the wnt rnl Ore jroncanalrwh tchnar a breadth of 44 feeC Ttama AoToes' Lava Sad, ' Tha flame for the Benham falla canal will ba built across tha lavs' bed at the base of Lava btatte and will be approxi mately three- miles. In length. Water from this 111 be conveyed to tha tracts selected lh tha Oregon Irrigation com pany's application, all of which are on a higher table land than tha other two selections. ..... , t - . Under tha rules and regulations gov-eThlnr-tha-dtaWbution bfwater for tha lands being- Irrigated by the BescBTrtwri Irrigation dt rower eortpany." the stats land board requires that tha company furnish sufficient -water--to cover each Irrigable tract to a depth of 1.8 feet, or an amount - which corresponds to a flow of one second foot of water dis tributed over loot acres. Upon this basis of figuring, arrived at through the measurementa taken by State Engi neer Lewis and' hla assistants, tha pres. ent carrying capacity of -tha.ilumaof-(00 cubto feat will ba sufficient -to re claim ' tha I Hot Butta segregation ' bf (4.000 acres. But a new supply , of water, through the flumes and canals yet to ba constructed, must ba had be fore the remaining acres In the selec tions made can ba Irrigated. ' At the preaent time with tha two canals carrying only half their capacity mere is considerable waata water. Part of theaa Is out off at the waata ats near tha outlet of the flume and is carried back Into tha Deschutes. The surplus which goes down tha Pilot Butte canal eventually finds Its way- Into Crooked river, and the waste from tho 'central Oregon canal flowa Into the old riverbed and Is carried down to Its Juno tlon with Crooked .river. -Successful irrigation, which Is play Ing such a wonderfully Interesting pro- grant In tha transforms! Inn, devalop. men. ana seiuemenv or tms section or eastern Oregon, It made possible by the general contour of tha country -Itself and tha gradual slop from tba head gates to tha north and. east In tha direc tion In which tha segregations I la. V'V'V, "Talley Is (treat flaia. This "desert" valley bf the Deschutes Is correctly likened, to a' great plain, as Its northern boundary Is an- abrupt rim rock or, cliff,' which drops ' 100. to 400 feet Into Crooked River valley." On the south and east are tha buttes which gtve the general swing to tha plateau una .now under process' or Irrigation. These, higher rldgea .furnish . the beds for tha canals themselves and aerve squally aa well for tha general distrib uting basis for tho laterals and side lines constructed to reach tha various subdivisions of ths aeg regatlons. Set down In - figures, tha altitude of tha head ga tea is 1.(00 .feet and the elevation Of the eastern extremity of tha segre gations is in tna neighborhood of 1.000. giving a drop of 400 feet over a dis tance ot 24 miles. Couple these facts with tha immense and constant volume of water available In tha ' Deschutes river, whose mean flow Is close to 1,000 cubic feet per second, and tha nractl. cablllty of Irrigation In tha Deschutes valley la brought into at ro tiger evidence..
