the property would furnish the financing
needed if satisfactory arrangements can
be made, and while conditions under
which the reorganization is proposed
may look somewhat hard, yet all parties
believe that something along this line is
the only way iu which any of the assets
of the corporation may be preserved, as
continued litigation will soon dissipate
them. Irrigation projects are particu
larly difficult to finance just now, and
the only reason for an otfer to take up
the Deschutes proposition is that a large
amount of money lias already been spent

without long ueluy. Kaslera engineers
who have examined the property
state that the work baa been well done,
and, with the coming of the railroads,
the land itself should be disposed of
rapidly. It is probable that arrange
ments for the reorganization will be
completed, if at all, within a short time.

MADRAS ARGUMENT FILED.

The parent county of Crook is not
favorable to the creation of the proposed
new county.
At a public meeting held June a 8,
1910, In Prlneville. the couuty seat and
largest town in Crook County, the fol
