Main LIih? Story of the New Enter
prise Originates Willi Pendleton
Grain Dealers.
That a new wheat warehouse Is to
be erected below the Walters' mill
for the use of the farmers of the sec
tlnn north and west of town, seems
probable. According to rumors cur
rent among the grain dealers, such a
warehouse will be built during the
coming summer by Dave Nelson, John
Hayden and Louis Hayden. All three
of these men are extensive wheat
raisers themselves, and It is said that
they wish a warehouse largely for
their own use.
The site of the proposed building is
on the Roberts property the other side
of the Walters mill, and the railroad
spur that runs to the mill will be used
for the warehouse.
WRIGHT JURY HUNG.
Traeo.v's Pal Did Not Get Verdict
From Salem Jury.
The Salem Journal of last evening
gives the following account of tha
trial of Wright, charged with being an
accomplice of Monte in assisting Tra
cey and Merrill to escape from prison:
After being out all night the Jury
in mo urtght case finally announced
this morning, at 1 1 o clock, that they
could not agree, nnd were therefore
dismissed. The case will not come on
for trial again before the October
term of court, as the witnesses in the
case are now all scattered.
That some of the jurors were con
vinced of his guilt there Is no doubt,
since no verdict of acquittal was
brought in. It is not known, how
ever, on what point they disagreed. It
Is possible that they all thought him
-'Hlty, but could not agree as to the
degree of guilt.
As stnted In yesterday's Journal, a
large portion of the testimony covered
the same ground as that introduced
nt the trial of Charles Monte, who was
Jointly Indicted with Wright.
In an nttempt to prove the where
abouts of the defendant at the time
of the murder of Guard Frank Ferrell
of the Oregon penitentiary, by Con
victs Tracy and Merrill, contradictory
evidence was Introduced, and no ef
fort was made by either the prosecu
tion or defense to establish the unre
liability of the other's witness.
Alvln Jones of this city, testified
positively that Harry Wright was In
Salem June 8. 1902. while A. Harn
was equally positive that the defend
ant was in his employ at Georgetown,
Wash., on the same date.
NEW WAREHOUSE
BELOW THE MILL
CONTRACT FOR
FURNISH
Let to Newport & Co., on
Terms Calling for Comple
tion Before Jan. 15, 1906.
A TOTAL OF THIRTY MILES
OF DITCH PROVIDED FOR.
Two Main Laterals Aside From Main
Ditch Muln Ditch Four Feet Deep
and Ten Feet Wide at the Bottom
Much limning Will Bo Required
Water Will Be Taken From the
North Side of the Umatilla, A Short
Distance Above Echo, to Which
Town Most of the Reclaimed Land
Will Be Tributary Will Bring 10,
000 Acres Under Ditch.
After years of planning, actual work
will now commence on the' ditch of
the Inland Irrigation company, com
monly known as the Furnish ditch.
Yesterday afternoon the contract for
the excavating work was let, and con
struction work will commence at once,
its completion being required by the
contract before January 16, 1906.
Thirty miles of ditch will be re
quired for the project, and there will
be two main laterals aside from the
main ditch. The main ditch will be
four feet deep and 10 feet wide at the
bottom.
The contract for the work was let
to Newport & Co., and the price la
per yard, varying according to the
material through which the ditch
runs. Aside from the excavating,
considerable flume work will also be
required In crossing canyons, round
ing rocky points and at other places.
All of this latter work will be done
1 by the corporation itself, and they will
start men at work immediately.
The water for the ditch will bo .
taken from the north side of the Uma
tilla above Echo, and will be carried
nearly 10 miles before any is used.
The land which Is Intended to be re
claimed is on Twelve Mile flat, and is
but a few miles from Echo, conse
quently the enterprise is regarded as .
being of great Importance to that
place. Ten thousand acres of land
will be under the ditch, and of this
amount considerable is owned by the
company, while the rest is owned by
other parties, or has been filed on by
homesteaders. Water will be furnished
to these parties should they desire it.
When seen this morning regarding
the project of which he is the head,
being president and manager of the
company, W. J. Furnish stated that
the work will now be carried to com
pletion, and that he regarded It as
of great importance to the county. It
is the intention to use the water dur
ing the time when there ts an ample
supply, and he believes that the land
to be watered is well adapted to win
ter Irrigation, as it has a subsoil that
will retain the moisture. It Is the In
tention to place water on the land
this winter, and to have as much of a
crop as possible for next year. Alfal
fa, potatoes, fruit and possibly some
grain will be raised. It is not the In
tention of the company to farm the
land Itself, but Instead to open the
land to settlement, some of the land
being placed on the market as soon
as watered.
The Furnish enterprise is by far the
most Important one of its kind that
has thus far been undertaken In this
county, as it promises to Irrigate more
land than does any of the other com
panies. Also, It Is apparent that Its
work Is more likely to be carried to
early completion thnn under any of
the other private companies that have
so far been formed.
