W ILL C E M E N T C ANAL.
Seepage Causes'Washout on Umatilla
Irrigation Ditch.
Pendleton.— A section of the main
feed canal of the Umatilla irrigation
project about 40 feet in length was
washed out between Foster and Echo^
the cause of the washout being seep
age watet, which has constantly
drained through the porous soil at
that point. The O. R & N. track is
within a few feet of the canal at that
point, and the grade has been softened
for about half a mile by the seepage.
The government engineers have de
cided to cement a section of the canal
there. It is estimated it will cost
$21,100 to complete the cement work
necessary. Owing to the strong flow
under the tracks, the company has
kept track walkers constantly there
for several months. All trains have
run slowly over the place for some
time Costly repairs will be made on
the O R. & N. track. YVater will be
turned off the feed canal while the re
pairs are in progress.
Posse Chases Horsethieves.
Baker City.— In the country south
of Huntington officers are chasing a
band of horsethieves, who have been
practicing in Malheur county. It is
claimed the thieves are headed for
Baker county, with the probable hope
of being able to reach a transconti
nental railroad ami get out of Oregon
in the last few weeks many report
having lost horses, and there is a ru
mor that the gang sent up from M al
heur some time ago and later par
doned by G ivernor Chamberlain has
completed a new organization, and is
operating in the same manner they
were a few years ago, when the tax
payers of eastern Oregon spent much
money and effort to capture them.
Coos Finds Oil.
Marshfield.— The stir over oil in
Coos county, successfully held down
for several weeks past, has reached
the stage that facts caniiot longer b j
kept from the public. Oil men have
been here on investigating missions,
and corporations and individuals have
quietly been taking options for sev
eral weeks. Actual crude oil has been
struck near Banff on, and gas has been
encountered in many places. Around
Coos Bay indications are sufficiently
strong to warrant large options and
extensive preparations for borings.
Umatilla Wool Sale.
Pendleton.—Umatilla county wool to
the amount of 1,500.000 vpounds was
sold in this city and Pilot Rock last
week in the regular wool sales fixeu
by the Oregon Woolgrowers’ associa
tion. The highest price paid at either
Pendleton or Pilot Rock was 13 3-8
cents for the clip of L. L. Mann o f
Birch Creek. The lowest price paid
was 6 1-4 cents for the clip of D. L.
Johnson o f Echo. This clip was very
sandy and last year brought a very low
price. The average price paid for the
wool sold in the county so far is 11 1-8
cents per pound.
Drain More Klamath Land.
Klamath Falls. — Twelve hundred
acres of swamp land north of Klamath
Falls, near Naylor, will be reclaimed
bv the owners, Fred Melhase and John
Hagelstein. Land adjoining has raised
some of the finest vegetables ever
grown in Klamath county, and this
land when drained will be cut up into
small truck patches. The surveyed line
of the Oregon Eastern, running noith
from Klamath Falls to Natron, will
cross this area of swamp land and the
dike will be used in draining it.
Open Gates at Hermiston.
Pendleton.— With hundreds of en
thusiastic excursionists in attendance
and ideal weather prevailing the head
gates of the Umatilla irrigation pro
ject were thrown open at Hermiston
last week An excursion train of six
coaches left this place, bearing a large
number of representative business
men and farmers, as well as repre
sentatives from Milton, Freewater,
YVeston and Athena.
Progressive Spirit at Cornelius.
Cornelius.— The old schoolhouse in
Cornelius, which has so long been an
evesore to the more enterprising por
tion o f the people, has been torn down
and preparations are being made to
erect a new one, which will be a credit
to the city and district.
