Hack to the Reservation.
The first of the returning bonds
of Indinu pasud through liuud
carry in tliu week, after cniiipiug
two or three nights on the west
side of the river just above the I
II. I). CVs. bridge. They had
been n month hunting in the moun
tains mid brought out a quantity of
jerked venison. Some of the
women were notably intelligent and
polite. They visited Mrs. Drake
mid inspected, with much interest
her poiiitiiiKS of Indian jmrtraiu,
calling each by name and being
apparently much pleated to sec
such good likenesses of their ieo
pie. Other bauds of Indians will
be here nt'frequent intervals in the

the Warm Springs reservation.
School Rhetorical.
The latter half of the afternoon
swwnn 01 school last Friday wus

There were several visitors and the

creditable. Veda Dorratico recited
"Mother's Pool" ; Marion Lawrence,
"Come Down Pretty Puss"; Steph

Paulino Wlobt. "Untertnining Her
llig Sister's Uonu"; and Iva West,
"The Inventor's Wife." Professor
Rowan gave a part of "Orphan
Annie", after the style of James
Whitcomb Riley. It is designed
to have these rhetorical every lfri
day afternoon hereafter, though
they are omitted this week for lack
of time to prepare them.

The finishing toticlt'-i are Uiug
put 011 the Columbia Southern Irri
gating cauitl this week. In a few
day till the workmuu will lie with
drawn aitd this roelfluiution enter
prise will be safely 011 its feet.
There are alx.mt.10 mile of ditch
main, laterals mid sub-laterals -and
fully 10,000 acre of the commny'a
segregation are under the ditches.
Perhaps 3000 to .jooo acres of home
steads already in private holdings
are also under these ennuis. These
have heretofore Ix-en cultivated
without artificial watering, but
they will do much letter under
irrigation.
Construction work 011 this ditch
was begun Inst May under the
siiierinteiidcuce of Colonel C. P.
Smith, of I.tuiionta, who has built
mqrc irrigation works than any
other man in Crook county. It
has been pursued without inter
ruption to the present time, the
force of men varying from a doten
to 35.' The moat difficult part of
the work was at and near the head-
gates.
The water is taken from the
north side of the Ttimello river In
section 3, T. 18 5., U. 10 lv.. one
of the township that was recently
withdrawn from entry. Prpm
there n shelf on the side of the
mountain was made for a 'distance
ofaliouttwo and a half miles to
enrry the canal. On the upper
side the lmnk rises precipitously
ttlmtit 40 feet and on the lower side
there is a descent tlynrly-ns grout.
On this part of the' route the water
is carried on n very gentle gradient,
for a swift current would be likely
to do damage there.
About a mile and n half below
the head works is a .jo-foot fall.
This was very abrupt when the
canal was made but it has since
been modified by the washings of
the current. Ilulf a mile farther
along the course the water rushes
down 11 steep hill nlxuit 30 feet.
Hoth these fall afford Hue water
K)ver that will doubtless Ik utilized
at some day not fur distant.
Coming off the nrttftcinl shelf the
canal plunges into n canyon for
another mile or so and then it
emerges into the open country
where construction wus n compara
tively simple matter. At one jioint
two miles above the county road
crossing the canal was blasted out
of the solid rock for n distance of
about 15 rods. Soon after the
water was turned in to run across
that sot n leak developed and it
was found that most oj the contents
of the ditch was escaping into the
rccessos of the basnlt, going no
man knew where. A few loads of
pine needles and fine earth stopped
that leak as suddenly ns if n cork
had been put in, mid there has
been no further difTigulty of that
kind.
The country has n distinct slope
to the northeastward. In n dis
tance of 12 miles the- main ditch
descends an even isqq feet. The
current in such a channel is neces
sarily rapid and some fear has been
expressed that it would cut away
the soft banks. The ditch water is
muddy, which shows that it is
currying considerable soil, but
Colonel Smith expresses no fear as
to the permanence of the canal,
The county rond between llend
and Sisters crosses the main cnnnl
near the center of heqtjan ,iC, T. 17
S., R. 11 E., which is perhaps 10
miles from the hendworks. A abort
distance below that crossing the
first lateral is taken out, maaiug to
the northward about thtec miles,
or half way to the reservoir site in
sections 20 and 21, T. 16 S., R. 11
I!. Near where this ditcli crosaea
the township line u sub-lateral w
taken out and carried more than n
mile to the J. K. WImer desert
claim, where It forks and distributes
water through sections 2i, 27 and
28.
Another lateral leaves the main
canal on the left hand side where it
crosses the line between townships
17 and 16, iwssius northerly and
brandling out to sections 34, 27,
26, 22 and 23. Almost directly
opposite the head of this lateral
another latem) leaves thu main
canal and goes out easterly to carry
water to sections 1 and 2 in 17-11
and section 36 in 1 6-1 1 .
In the houtheast corner of suction
26, 16-11, another important lateral
leaves the main canal to carry water
to the northern row of forties in
section 9, 16-12, a distance of more
than six miles. This jiasses through
the Brink, Nichols and Templetou
homesteads and the remainder of
thecoursc is through the company's
arid laud segregation. One sub
goes out to the east part of section
17 and another on the opposite skit
goes up into section 7.

wurd along the easterly line of sec
13, 16-11, then crosses into 16-12
nud cuds at the easterly line of sec
tion 7 a little above the middle of
the section. Just before it crosses
the township line it gives out an
othur lateral about two miles long,
leading north and betiding around
into the north half of section 6, 16
ts. The total length of the ditch,
main, laterals mid sub-laterals, is
about 40 miles. The route of the
waterways is so chosen that it is an
easy matter to load water away on
either side.
Prom the hcadworks the first 10
miles of canal is over laud more
or less timbered. The remainder
of the course is through the open,
arid country, where irrigation is
essential to successful sericulture.
The sod is much better than the
average of arid soils of Oregon and
the climate is not too severe for tlie
production of ordinary fruits. The
country served by the Columbia
Southern Irrigation Company is ex
pected to le a great fruit region.
Of the 27,000 acres segregation
covered by this enterprise consider
ably more than half is already dis
posed of under contracts condition
ed upon the .approval by the secre
tary of the interior of the contract
already mode between the company
nud the state. Some of the settlers
will move in nud occupy the laud
thus full, others will wait till spriug.
It is certain that a large area of
new laud will be under cultivation
there next season nud there is an
abundance of water for all comers.
The company expects to fence
both sides of its main cnnnl and
erect n, telephone line along it with
stations nt convenient intervals so
thnt notice may be promptly given
at the headgatcs of anything re
quiriiifr adjustment of the water
supply. In every respect this will
be n model irrigation plant null the
enterprising people who have car
ried it through arc entitled to every
commendation. W. A. I.nidluw is
president and mnnngcr of the com
pany and several people in the Col
umbia Southern railrond nre active

terprise. Uycs Winded by Cataract.
