and a Mosco paper which Mr. Johnson
had with him Baya; "Messrs. Turner
Bros.,'-' the men above referred to
"washed this gold out in the gulch.
They said that one shovelful of the dirt
where they were last working panned
out $5 and showed several nuggets, the
largest of which was about the size of an
ordinary marble. They think they' are
on the trail of a hidden ledge and pro
pose to follow it up until they find it.
As the last gold is very coarse they are
greatly to believe they, are close to the
end.' Verily," how true it is, that no
body knows the limit to posibilit'y of

A Few Passing Remarks Worthy , of
Consideration.
Special to the Chronicle. "
The Daju.es, May 14. After reading
the very clear article in The Chronicle
yesterday, on the immense crons that
will be raised in Sherman county this
year, I am reminded of the pertinent
questions that agitated our people a
year ago. In the spring of 1891 there
were two or more schemes, on paper and
in the air ; for moving the grain crop of
Sherman and other counties to the coast
markets. Paul Mohr and Co., " it was
said ; would have their portage railroad
on the Washington side of the Columbia
completed in time to handle the crop of
iai. Aiterwards came the much talked
Dalles and Silkstone railroad, and anlte
recently the report that the Union Pa
cific would build a branch line from the
main line into Sherman - count v. via
Spanish- Hollow and 'Wasco.' ' Cannot
some one of these schemes ''get a move
on" m 1892?:. . ; -. Active.

GREAT PUBLIC INTEREST.
Concerning the Clear Lake Scfeeme of a
Speculatlre I'arty.
In our issue of yesterday we called the
attention of our readers, to the filing of
possessary water-rights for speculative
purposes, upon Clear Lake, one of the
largest of the beautiful bodies of water
situated in the dark timber so high upon
the mountain .range in the southwest
corner of' township 4, south range 9,
east. The water of this lake surface is
6,500 feet aboe the Columbia river in
front of this city, and,-supplied as it is
by the constant condensation of - the
moist warm wind - from off the
Pacific ocean, and from ' the melting
snows from off : the side of
Mount Hood, through the tortuous vol
canic fissures and channels from its very
crater, 5,000 feet above, guarantees to the
settler, who occupies the high table
lands and prairies such as Wapanitia,
Wamic, and other similarly situated
fruitful lands, a", source of " perpetual
wealth when properly applied by a sys
tem of irrigation of a broad public char
acter which, from the action of the- gov
ernment, we bad entertained reason to
believe was being attempted. ' .
We are assured, and justified in saying
that S ana tor Dolph had been making
efforts and preparation to apply this j
broad system of irrigation, entered upon
by the government, Jo the whole great J
basin tf Eastern Oregon, containing sedi
mentary deposit lands larger in area than
the whole of New England.
Our citizens will remember that a
public meeting was held in the- county
court rooms to discuss this matter, and
to prepare an adequate,- extended repre
sentation, ot its great . importance to a
wonderful area of territory suited to
supply in fruitful lands, a nation"of
people; who with irrigation -added, in
an ample method, which the waters of
this lake, and its., wonderful situation
guarantees, if directed by the govern
ment. ; ' . '
We can. but express deep regret to
learn that a speculative "party,' named
the Oregon Land, Irrigation, Timber
and Fuel Co., situated at Portland, has
taken measures, under the state law
enacted the last session, to attempt to
take control of all these waters, and the
immense volume of privileges -which are
qualified by, and co-partners therewith ;
we mean the immense sized timber in
great quantity and several varieties. We
cannot but urge all who look upon the
prosperous - progress of our people in
Eastern Oregon, , especially in Wasco
county, if possible, to establish a broad
application of the privileges in behalf of
the people, instead of bowing for a gener
ation or more ; as cannot fail to be the
fate of Eastern Oregon, if we must sub
mit this great interest to the grindstone
of speculative capital.-
Sunch grass, and, its cattle and wool,
must, as a certainty of fate, grow less and
lees, and seek homes and food farther in
the wilds. But those who gather pro
ducts from the fruitful sedimentary soil
in the place formerly occupied by cattle
and sheep, must "own and control the
profound privileges Nature has provided
to accompany . these great changes of
Progress. ; Hoarded capital has no busi
ness in the control of great public
necessities. God's gifts, in the form of
water, and jightd of way, needed by
great communities, should belong to the
public first and open to individual effort
widely spread. Such is one of the great
privileges of a republican form of gov
ernment, and laws should not be made
to allow gathered capital to engross and
control the public domain or its- impor
tant formative privileges.: '
;- The Portland party who have entered
upon this speculative movement, wrote
to the county clerk of Wasco county not
to allow publla notice to-be made of his
movement. of entry under this state law.
: The matter, i we : have represented is
narrowed into a question whether such
great publie privileges, and the immense
resources embodied, therewith, shall "be
public advantages open to all, or held by a
pretended corporation, who.under the grab
law passed the last session, belong to it?
It will be remembered by readers, that
Hon. J. N. Dolph of Oregon is the chair
man ofjhe joint committee of the nation
al house and senate who were appointed
to consider the, question of irrigation
and its public application, and that more
than six months ' since, by request of
Senator Dolph - a fall representation of
Clear Lake, Frog Lake and. White River
capabilities for irrigation py the gene
ral government was'made, including fall
map of the whole region of eastern Ore.
