Project Includes 7318 Acres of Arid Land and 27 Miles of Canals New Company Composed of Chicago, Michigan and Oregon capitalists New Land Ha Been Added and Ditch Is Being Extended One of the Finest Frojecti In Northwest. The sale of the Hinkle Ditch com pany's holdings which was announced, by the East Oregonlan several weeks ago, was consummated and the trans fer formally made In this city last, evening, the Western Land & Irriga tion company of Baker City, being the purchaser. The sale includes the land and ir rigation canals and rights of way of " the Hinkle Ditch company In the vi cinity of Echo and represents the turn of $160,000. The Western Land ft Irrigation company la composed of ' the following capitalists of this and other states: J. W. Messener of Ba ker City, president; E. E. Cleaver of -Chicago, vice president; W. J.

Within the past few weeks the new owners of the project have acquired-, about 1500 acres of arid land near the mouth of Butter creek and will con tinue to add to their holdings along the route of the ditch. The Hinkle Ditch company was or ganized seven years ago by J. T. Hin kle of this city and O. D. Teel of Echo, and at that time the company took, over what is known as the Hunt ditchi near Echo, enlarging the ditch and extending It westward until it now covers one of the finest bodies of arid '. land in the west. The water right of the company Is one of the best on the Umatilla river and Is really the first riparian right In the vicinity of Echo.

Indications are that no one will be punished for the recent collision in the solent between the St. Paul, the American Liner and the British cruiser Gladiator, in which 32 men are thought to have ost their lives. No positive statement to this effect has been Issued and un til the end of thd official Inquiry In- tltuted by the board of trade has ended, no such statement can be is sued, but evidence seems to make lear that the collision was an un avoidable mischance.

He says that the land of this section should produce from 500 to 800 pounds per acre, and the crop is worth $120 per ton, making It an es pecially profitable crop to grow, since the cost of raising It and harvesting It is but little more than the cost of growing s wheat crop. If Mr. Buchner could secure Just a little encouragement In Pendleton he would bring his factory here and make this his manufacturing head quarters, as he Is loyal to Umatilla county and desires to help build up the interests of the county. He would employ perhaps a dozen men.
