AVpiPAy-jp,pfi NO LONGER DESOLATE Comfortable Homes Take the Deserts unblrtNiNti OP OCCUPATION Four -New Postofflces In the VeaMo Serve the Settlers of this Vjclnltyi Past 1 Two years ago it was a lonely journey of 30 miles acrois the des ert from Prinevillc to Iknd. Not a farm, not n drop of water, not a human habitation broke the monot ony of the trip. Around byj'owell Huttcs there were a few settlers, but none along the .stage road There was plenty of sagebrush and a rudimentary relic of bunch grass sod, and junior trees ivcrcnumcr ous along half the route. , Qomiug toward Bend there was .the .magnif icent scenery of the Cascade range to engage attention; goiilg the other way one might ruminate on the mutability of human affairs. And great have been the muta tions in this section. Where pin yon jay, the coyote and the jack rabbit constituted the only signs of life and the landscape was hot and desolate many homes are already established and fields of growing crops check the plain. It is but little more than a year since the settler in the neighbor hood of the new Hobbs station have occupied that land. H. A Hussett, Mrs. Brown, Miss Brown, II. A. Brown, John McLcod and the Shobtrts came in from Ne braska and took homesteads that arc well cultivated, along the road. II. A. Brown dropped Ins and went back to Nebraska but the others are doing well. Charlc Poster came over from Clackamas county and took a claim there. James Green recently got the homestead first taken by H. G. Holcomb, who came over from the Willamette valley with Fosttr. Turner, Kelly, Casey, Chase, Pan cake and Reed have also taken homesteads in that locality. Farther to the northeast the Bald wins and Smiths have four home steads on which substantial im provements arc made. Just above them come the two Mikkelsuus. Bam has his watering station where he was just beginuing to establish himself two years ago and he raises all kind of farm crops and gardeu truck. His sou has a place iarther o er toward Crooked river. Riggs, Swnuson, Darling and Guy Sears have claims just beyond. C. E. l.ovell, purchasing agent for the D. I. & V. Co., has just taken a home stead in Unit bunch. He is an old soldier and Will need to live on his claim only a year. Ben Zcll and Jacob Teugman have a lot of laud in cultivation a little farther on At the Bend end of the route settlers urc also occupiug the land uud building homes. The D. I. & P. Co.'s experiment farm is near town. The Adam Kotfcman home stead, three miles out', ws the first attempt at cultivation without water thU side of the old river bed. Its partial success demonstrated the virtues of water aud nu irriga tion ditch now crosses this ranch, feeding water out five miles to the new ranches of the two Hcudnck son families. They have good buildings, have cleared the juniper from u large area, converting them into fire-wood-nnd fence posts, and have a good deal of land ready for the plow. , These and others who have in vaded 0)e wilderness aud are mak ing promising homes there, add to the industrial and social life of the region aud make the Beud-Prine-ville route, formerly so dreary, n comparatively cheery att'd Tnterest ing road to travel. " ! In other directions there has been similar growth. Away out to the eastward there nre the Johnston, Gucrin, Ilaswell, Goodwillie, Bat ten, Wilson nftd other rauches get ting ready for irrigation. On the road to,rorcst 1'rolessor Redmond is. making a notable improvement aVid'othe'rs are beginning homebuild- iug. Between Bend and Sisters numerous settlers have gone in and occupied the lard' and are doiug well.

Not only has the whole face 'of the country been changed by this growth of the past year or two but the virtues of soil and climate have been largely demonstrated. The movement for irrigated land i hardly started. Four new postofficcs have been established 111 this region in the past year Bend, Tumalo, Iaidlaw und Clinc Falls a peti tion is out for a new postofiicc to Ixi .known a3 Hobbs, at the Hobbs homestead between Bend and Prinevillc, aud another i liklcy soon to be established out cast of Hcud about 15 miles. This shows how the country is settling up. PAY BACK TO OLD FIGURES. Men Don't Like It and Many of Them Quit. The first of the week the D I. & P. Co. posted notices at the ditch camps to the effect that after the 15th of March men who were re ceiving $2.25 and teams that were receiving $2.50 a day should be paid only $2 a day, the same price that was in effect before the com pany voluntarily raised wages last summer. Immediately upon the posting of the notices there was discontent ment among the men and most of them threatened to quit .at once About 250 did stop work. There were all sorts of tain about the company's treatment of its men and the motive for the new move, some loldly alleging that the com pau had failed and that the whole reclamation enterprise here had met disaster. The camps were disorgan ized for a few days. But the men found their money wis ready for them and in many case other men were ready for the vacant places. The first hot-headed impulse gave way to sober second thought and many of the men returned to the work. As the net result of the reduction in pay about 200 men and 125 teams have left the canal. This leavesabout 200 men and 90 teams on the work and more will be added. . For two days the organiza tion was broken up by the departures and no work was done, but every thing is now running smoothly with the reduced force. There was no violence at any time. Quite a number of the men have gone over to Klamath Falls expect ing to get work on the proposed government reclamation enterprise there. Phillip Francis took a four horse load of 16 men to Klamath Falls at $6 each and one or two other loads were taken over. Some of the men went on foot. That a lodge ot the Knights of Pythias will be organized in Bend is now an assurance. A list of petitioners for a charter is being rapidly filled. It includes the names of 1 1 Knights and -it is be lieved that the names of 20 unin itiated applicants for charter mem bership will be accepted before, the close of the preliminary arrange ments on March 21. a he degree team of the Prinevillc lodge will do the initiation and installation work after the arrival of the charter. Contractor J. W. Wright will soon commence the construction of a 14x24 house and a 16x24 bam on the ditch laud property of James Ferguson, located 7 miles east of town. The house, however, is to be used only temporarily. Mr. Ferguson has six head of horses. He expects to go to the new home next week and begin the work of clearing and planting. He is hav ing two tanks of 700 gallons capac ity each constructed in which he -jU haul water from the Deschutes tintfV the irrigation plaus are realized, -George Hobbs, who with A. C.

This land lies under the ditch completed last year on the west side of the Deschutes, north of the Swallcy bridge, between the town )f Laidlaw and Clinc Buttcs. Mr. Hammond found the reclama tion to be satisfactory and the list will 'be made up and passed to patent in due time. Mr. Hammond expresses hi entire satisfaction with the reclam ation works of the Columbia. Southern. He measured the canal and examined the hcadworks months ago and repdrtcd his ap proval to the state land board, which is proceeding ou hi recom mendation. Mr. Hammond is sure the capacity of the works is ample to water all the land in the segre gation, and more. The matter of providing laterals and leading the water out to the extremities of the sstem will require time, but nearly 13,000 acres have been already patented and the additional 600O now ready will leave but S00O unwatered. Probably that atea will be covered this season. Construction work on the Colum bia Southern irrigation ditches was resumed this week, the principal force being out on the desert north of Laidlaw. A few more are at the beadworks getting everything in readiness for turning on the water Colonel F. Smith is in charge of operations this year as formerly. Mr. Hammond, who is also pres- luenc 01 iac enirai urcgon lrans y portatiou Company, says the big J automobile will be on the Bend run before the middle of next month, possibly by April 1. 350 Virgin Acres This Year. Mr. and Mrs. V. B. WilsotT were hi from their ranch in 17-14 this week. Mr. Wilson reports 100 acres plowed ou the Jauey ranch and 125 ready for plow on the Guerin-Haswell ranch. He is manager of both. On the Jauey place the plan has been to plow first aud then clear out the sagebrush. At the other ranch the brush was cleared off before plowing. It is not yet settled which is the best method Mr. Wilson expects to haVc 350 acres in crop this season, mainly in grain for hay. General fartn crops will be raised to some extent but the greatest present demand is for hay. ANOTHER DITCH STARTED, To Water the Arnold Claim ani Other Lands. Some weeks ago the Arnold Ir rigation Company was incorporated " tor the purpose of taking an inde pendent ditch rom the river to water the'XVirili ranch iu sections 14 and 23 of 19-1I and incidentally to water lauds that might be reached from that channel. The work of actual construction is now under way aud seven men are employed on it. The beadworks are near Lava island at a place so favorahfc that the water is led from the river by a simple ditch a hundred yards 6r so. There it , encouhters lava drill a flume thdt will 'require about 50,000 feet of lumber must be, built. Then it is merely a matter of lead ing the water in a ditch to the lands desired to'be irrigated. Besides Mr. Arnold, SteJdl & Reed aud a number of claimholders are interested in this irrigation proiect. several claims having re cently been taken that depend upon this ditch for water. It will cover higher lands than the Central Ore gon canal will serve and it is ex pected that the service will be cheaper, tnongn this is a matter yet to be demonstrated. Water is expected to be delivered to the Atno)dranch a doen miles from htffceadVoVk by the &lddks of Jtine. ' I J ) r$tfmmmimmmmmmmmtmMmmmmmmmmmmm P
