The pliin of taking wnlcr for tin
Pilot Butt cimiil out of the river be
low IJciul, which was contemplated
n few weeks ago, has been nbaml
ouccl. The chief reason for this i.
that the growth of the town would
be likely to result in mote or le.
pollution of the river and Ocucru
Manager Johnston, of the I). I. &
1 Co., thinks it would not bedesir
nble'to have the purity of the vnlei
in the canal .subjected to question
Therefore the Pilot Dutte initial will
continue to be supplied front the
present Hume three miles ulxm
lien. I.
It i?, however, planned to cnlargi
the present flume to nearly foui
times its present capacity and um
it as the intake for both the present
Pilot Unite canal and the Centra
Oregon canal. The completed Pilot
llutte cnnnl will carry 250 cubi
inches a second. The Central Ore
Ron canal will curry 400 cubic inch
es n second. The Hume, which
will supply both those canals, will
be increased in size to carry 65c

cubic inches of water a second the
combined capacity of both canals.
Those two canals will wnter the
original scgiegution of the Pilot
Mutte Development Company which
the Deschutes company has taken
over, nearly 85.000 acres. The
contracts are based upon one cubic
foot of water for each second of time
for each 160 acres of land. Of the
.ooo-ucte segregation not more
than 70 IK.T cent is tillable laud,
the remainder being waste or only
fit for pasturage

flume will be 278 cubic feet more
than is required for reclamation of
that original "Drake" .segregation.
This will be about 75 jwr cent in
excetw of the full legal requirement.
This is the margin of safety
observed by the company in its re
initiation work. It does nearly
twice as much as the lnw really
requires.
The Deschutes Irrigation it
Power Company has just ordered
two machines that are expected
greatly to increase the effectiveness
of its working plant. One is a
grader, wagon lo.tder and ditching
machine that will handle, with 18
'lorse for motive Kiwr, t. 000
cubic yards of earth in to hours.
l'"ive patent dump wagons areorder
imI, to tend the ditching machine.
That machine oerateit Mimcwhat
like a grain header, the earth being
elevated at one side and dcmitcd
111 the attending dump wagon. If,
upon trial, it docs what is promised,
one or two others will be purchased
for the canal work here.
The other machine is a Red field
hand tMiwer rock drill. With it
two tucii are expected to do ait
much work as is now accomplished
by six. Ilotli of these machine
.ire exacted to arrive within the
oming two weeks.
Mr. Johnston ways his plans con
template the reclamation of the en
tire ' Drake" gsgrcgatioii within
tlic coming ycoTrrinsiiumns con
itructiou of canals, laterals and sub
laterals to water all the cultivable
land. Then the work will le con
tinued for the 130,000 acres remain
ing "We are not entirely satisfied
vith what we have been able to ac
complish thus far," said Mr. John
ilou, "but we have labored under
many disadvantages and perhaps
have done as well as should have
been expected. Now the entire en
terprise is well in hand, we are
gaining confidence with uxcrieucc,
and are able to plan with assurance
that our plans can be carried into
effect. Wc want to get the laud
reclaimed at the enrliust praticable
moment and will not spare expense
or energy in doing no."
When Foreman Itolileu returned
last Saturday from u Visit at Kugenc
he brought word thrtt the comple
tion of sewer contracts there would
soon libcratcipiitc a number of men.
Assistant Sticriutcudcut Howleu
and Harry Hunter left Tuesday for
Kugenc to hire those men for the
irrigation works hereabouts.
This has leeu a lively week for
freight in lieiid, Ten loads drawn
by teams of . to jo horses ouch,
and aggregating nearly 50,000
pounds, arrived and more arc 011
the way, and the warehouse at
Sliauiko is still piled full of Ueiid
freight. Among the freighters to
arrive this week are C. W. I III
borne and J. P. Pry, of Grant
county, Prank McConuellaud Prank
Ivdelmau, of Gilliam county, K. O.
Davis, Walter Williams and W. J.

Freighter Hates, well known in
Hcnd, was caught in the Mitchell
country with u load at the time of
the watcrsDouts last month. Slnccl
then he has been making mighty
slow progress, building rond as he
went along, and he has not yet
been nble to get back on the Hcnd

"We expect to have an automo

Gueiiu.jr., uiku his return from
Portland Saturday night. "The
full organization of the comHiuy
has been arranged for and all cap

"The design is to have the auto
line start ftom Crww Keys. The
Columbia Southern railway, I am
confident, will soon Iw extended to
that xiint. There will be a private
roadway for the auto, with an
eight-foot track well crowned. The
trip over this line will le made in
five hours ami with comfort instead
of taking i. to 18' hours with pres

"The first machine on this route
will be of swdnl design. It will Ik.
