Western Land and Irrigation
Company Has Taken Over
$150,000 Holding.
WILL OPEN SALES OFFICE
IN PENDLETON.
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. Stapish
of Anderson, Ind., treasurer; Clfton
Cleaver of Prairie City, secretary. In
addition to these gentlemen G. E.
Crane of St. Joseph, Mich., Is a stock
holder and none of the stock of the
company la for sale.
The holdings of the company In
clude 27 miles of canals and laterals, .
7348 acres of arid and semi-arid land,
rights of way for canals and a-water
right from the Umatilla river. The
main canal of the project carries 15,
000 miner's inches of water and has
Ita source Just east of Echo on the
south bank of the Umatilla river.
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.
About two months ago the capital
ists composing the Western Land &
Irrigation company secured an option .
on the property and made a payment
of $10,000 In cash, and Immediately"
began improving and enlarging the
project and from the day the option.
was secured It was certain that a sale
had been made. The expiration of the
option came yesterday and last even
ing the transfer was formally made.
It is understood that the new com
pany will open offices in this city and
will make this the sales headquarters
for the land under the project. A
campaign of publicity will be started
and new settlers will be located as
rapidly ns possible upon the fine land
Included In the holdings.
No One Responsible.
London, May 2. 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.
If some men would act at the lunch
counter like they act when eating at
home, they would be fired bodily by
an enraged restaurant keeper.
FOR PENDLETON?
15 acres near Freewater, a very light
yield. 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.
