"frlest Rapids, Wash. . Jan. 8. One
t&oirfred thousand acres of land will
fse reclaimed during the corning two
-years by a big irrigation project

irrigation company will spend $1,000,
?36 in developing its hydro-electric
pwer plant at driest Rapids on the
-Crfombia river, and extending and

It is admitted that no electric

Coyote Cutoff Under
Way.
That the long espected Coyote-Echo
cutoff is to be made and made in the
near future seems certain from infor
mation receive! from semi-official
circles, it is now current rumor
among local railroad people that an
order has been made appropriating
the sum of $707,946.25 for the cutoff,
This appropriation coming upon the
heels of the appropriation of $1,020,
000 lor the elimination or curves
beyond Yoaknm and Pendleton means
that in the near future the O. R..&
N. company ii to spend nearly $2,
000.000 improving its line within this
counry and in Morrow county.
As now understood the big cutoff is
to be from Coyote to Echo, via Stand-
field. It will eliminate 8.8 miles of
the present distance between Covote
and Eolio. At this time the distance
is 35 miles and under the proposed
cutoff the distance will be reduced
to 2(5 3 miles.
Coyote is to be made the terminal
point, if reports in circulation are
correct. It is understood the order
oalls for terminal improvements at
that place, among other things a ten
stall round house to be installed.
Just what effeot this will have upon
Umatilla seems in doubt. It is the
general supposition however, that as
far as main line trains are concerned
Umatilla will cease to be a division
point.
Just what route the proposed cut
off will tae is also a matter of
speculation at this time. It has bJen
stated previously that the engineers
have figured upon three different
rcutes aoross the desert. Which route
is to be selected has not yet been
disclosed.
As to the improvements of the
track between Yoaknm and Pendleton
it is laid the work to be done soon
will reduce the distanoe between
Yoakum and Pendleton by one and a
half miles. The maximum curvature
will be but four degrees while at the
present time there are ten degree
curves between V oakum and Pendle
ton. The improvements ordered also
means that the stretch of track at
Horseshoe curve wilt be brought up
to a standard roadbed. In the past
the ballasting and improvement of
that stretch of track has been neglected
because of the knowledge that a
change in tracK was inevitable. East

Government Timber Sales
Pending timber sales from the
national forest reserves of Oregon
and Washington will mean a rev
euue to the two commonwealths of
more than 300,000. This sum
will go to the ecbool and load
funds oE the two states, tha coud
ties bonefitted being those in which
the timber grew. The distribution
of this money will mean great im
provement to both states.
Sales this year will be the heav
iest yet made from government re
serves. Last year sales in the two
states aggregated 130,000,000 feet
board "measure. This year pro
posals have been made for the pur
chase of about G50.000.000 feet.
Growing scarcity of timber on
private holdings is leading millmen
to the reserves for logs. This in
crease is expected to continue for
the net few years until the point
is reached where only mature tim
ber will be cut. '"'
otumpage prices tnis year
charged by the government are
about $2. The forestry law pro.
vides that 25 ber cent of the
etumpage reveuue shall go to the
state where the forest is cut. This
means that the revenue to the two
states for the coming year from
timber cut off forest reserve lands
will be about $1,200,000. x
The severe winter weather con
tinues with the "mercury ranging
from 10 to 20 degrees abovS zero,
and the ground covered with hbout
two inches of snow. While the
weather is not cold it is a bard
time ou stock and regular feeding
is necessary. There is very little
hay for sale. Alfalfa is worth S20
per ton while baled wheat hay is
bringing $25 per ton. Already
stockmen are beginuing to haul
out barley in order to make hay
go as far as pot--ible. Should the
bad weather continue, stockmen
will soon face serious conditions,
however, heavy losses are not an
ticipated owing to the fact that
grain can be shipped in.

The work of the surveyors has been
traced along a point east of Willow
Creek along what is locally known as
Alkali Canyon, thence crossing Rock
creek about seven miles above its
confluence with the John Day, to
Scott's Canyon, and down Scott's
Canyou to the John Day River and up
the, John Day beyond the mouth of
Hay Creek for a distance unknown
to the observers of that locality.
The preliminary survev is well up
the canyon wall, about 250 to 800 feet
above Croy, and provision is apparently
made for a tunnel from Rock Creek
to Scott's Canyon, and for another
from the John Day River to Esaw
Canyon, in order to avoid a long loop.
The identity of the interest behind
tiie surveying party has been the oanse
of much speculation in that locality.
The John Day River has been looked
upon as a possible means of access to
Central Oregon, bur, the main objec
tion to its choice as a route has been
that the river rises in the Blue
Mountains, in Northeastern Oregon.
Its flow is westerly for many miles
before it turns to the north and drops
into the Columbia River. To set
into Crook, Lake or Harney Counties
via the Joiiu Duy Kiver either a
pass through high spurs of the Blue
Mountains would have to be "found or
the mountains skirted to the west.
Tributary to the John Day. how
ever, are rich agricultural and timber
resources, now unserved by railroads,
in Wheeler and Grant Counties.
Rumor in Eastern Oregon has hereto
fore named the John Day River Can
yon as a means of access for both the
Milwaukee and North Coast Rail
roads to Interior Oregon.
The John Day River, tor a number
of years, has also been discussed as
furnishing a feasible and shorter
route through the Blue Mountains
than that now followed by the O. R.
& N., and it is suggested that the
Harriman system is behind the new
.movement. This theory would ex
plain the reason for the construction
by the Oregon Short Line of 25 miles
of railroad from Vale, up another
"Willow Creek." to Brogau, work
on which is now under way.
The construction of theBrogan road
was announced as a branch line to
sere an irriagted country, but the
district to be tapped is said to be too
small in itself to justify railroad
construction. The branch line is
alone the general route of old surveys
made up Willow Creek to the Blue
Mountain divide. This survey skirted
Iron Side Mountain, a peak in the
Blue Mountain range, thus getting
over the divide to the upper reaches
of the John Day Rivor, and thence
down the John day.
There is a multiplicity in names
of minor streams in Orocon. The
Willow Creek no which the Brogan
branch of the Oregon Short Line is
building flows southeasterly into
the Malheur River. The Willow
Creek montinoed in the reports from
Croy ri.ses in tha vicinitv of Heppner
and flows northward into the Colum
bia. The Iler.oner branch of ttis O.
R. & N. is built up the latter creek.
Still another Willow Creek Hows
through Madras westerly into the
Deschutes River, and up thin stream
the Oregon Trunk line will build!
after leaving the Deschutes Canyon.
Croy is located about 2!) miles south
of the month of tho John Day River.
I Rock Creek flows into the John Day
a few miles south of Croy, both
from the east. The newly reported
surveying activity begins in O. H. &
N. territory.
