Ex-CongrcNNnian Takes Over Sheep InterrHts of His Partner. The sheep firm of Williamson and Gesner was dissolved this week, Con gressman Williamson buying his partner's Interests in the sheep and land owned and controlled by the firm, says the Crook County Journal. The price paid in the transfer of the property has not been made known, and probably will not be until the final details have been arranged and the papers placed on file. As yet the sale has not been perfected, although all arrangements have been completed for the transfer of Interests and future management of the business. The sale Includes an Interest in the 12,000 head of sheep owned by the firm and some 10,000 acres of land lying on Crooked river some 20 miles southeast of Prlneville. Congressman Williamson and Dr. Gesner have been In business together since 1901 when the firm of William son, Wakefield & Gesner was first formed. Two years later Mr. Wake field's Interests were bought by his partners and the new firm of William son & Gesner was formed January 1, 1903. The business has grown steadi ly and has been a paying one Blnce It was first started. The firm only last spring established a record mark for Crook county by a sale of several thousand sheep, the purchase prices of which were the highest which had been paid for crook county sheep for years. Dr. Gesner intends to move to Portland to Join his wife and children who are now living there. It Is un derstood that he will remain in this vicinity, however, until after the lambing and shearing season in the spring when the final details of the transfer of Interests will be drawn up and settlement made. He will con tinue to remain In charge ot the bus iness until that time. Mr. Williamson has recently pur chased a residence In the city and his family will probably move here irl a short time. At present they are re siding In The Dalles. PUSHING IMPORTANT PROJECT. Two Hundred Fifty Mem at Work on Irrigation Canal Near Iewlston.

Heretofore tho company has operated the mill under a lease, but concluded to purchase It outright. The company has also pur chased a million feet of tlmbor In the vicinity to be used on the ditch. The compnny already owns 260,000 fcot. The mill will be operated to Its full capacity until the logs have been used up.

It Is the Intention of the company to put the land on sale about April 1, and as the original Intention was not to market any lands until they could be watered. It Is pre sumed that the canal will be finished and in operation by that time. The construction work is pro gressing nicely and about three fourths of it has been finished. The men are now engaged In the heavy rock work. Some of the cuts have proved very heavy and are costing from 10 to 20 thousand dollars a mile. This suggests the magnitude of the Important work being done by the company. The pipe for the syphon across the Sweetwater draw has been received arid is on the ground. A new camp was started yesterday and 40 men are at work on this section of ground adjacent to it. Another camp will be started as soon as the men are available. There are now 250 men at work on the canal and a large num ber of teams. COMPLAINS OF THE TOLLS. Oregonlan Rays Government Should Own Oregon City Locks. The Portland Oregonlan, which is a bitter opponent of government own ership of the public utilities, admits the wisdom of government ownership In the following concerning the locks in the Willamette river at Oregon City: The Oregonlan a day or two ago noticed the introduction by Senator Fulton of a bill for the purchase of the locks at Oregon City by the gen eral government, with a view to their being thrown open and the 60 cents charge per ton on freight and 50 cents per passenger abolished. All know that in 10 years about $300,000 has been paid by the people of the Willamette valley as direct toll. If this were all It would be bad enough. But Indirectly this large sum Is but a small, a very small, part of whnt the locks have cost the people. For the lock toll has added 60 cents a ton to the total of river freight, and, as the river freight is regulated, that same 50 cents a ton has been added to the railroad tonnage as well. Can any one easily colculate the sum? By no means. Only tho old books of ac count of the Southern Pacific could tell the tale. MAJOR M'KOIN HERE.
