J.
L. SUMRALL ABOUT
TO WIN FORTUNE
Conteat to Rob Bend Attorney ot Leg-
cy From Distant Choctaw Undo
Falls Through and tie Will Soon
Receive $12,500 Ustato.
Through the will of a great-great
inclc, Jesse L. Sumrnll is about to
fall heir to property In Oklahoma
worth $12,500. A contest hna been
instituted by a Mississippi lawyer, a
half Indian, who lays claim to the
estate, but Wr. Sumrall received
notice a few days ago that this con
test had practically fallen through
and that when the matter had been
Anally adjudicated he would become
Dossessed of the property which is
rightfully his.
Mr. Rumrall's great-great uncle
on his mother's side was a Choctaw
Indian named John Smith, who had
a large estate In the Southern State.
To Mrs. Sumrall he left $12,500,
title to which she has already ob
tained, and to J. L. and J. W. Sum
rail, her oons, each the Bamo
amount J. W. Sumrall lives at
Montesano, Wash., and a letter from
him conveyed the good news to his
brother that they were now In a
fair way of gaining possession of
the legacy from their distant rela
tive. Mr. Sumrall's home is in Jackson,
Miss. He came to Bend this spring
from Seattle, forming a Jaw part
nership with Ward H. Coble. He
will continue to reside here.

emplov either legal or engineering talent
(both necessary in a project of this kind)
were out of question. Consequently
during the winter of 1907-03, the com
pany found itselt slrandeil legally, tech
nically and financially, and the capital
stock fully paid up and of par value of
J loo dropped as low as f J a share.
The company by this time was corn
noted of thirty settlers, whose title to
tb-ir Und as well as their future financial
existence and permanent residence in
Orteon depended upon the successful
completion of the Arnold canal. This,
when taken in connection with the fact
that they even had to haul water for
domestic purposes from four to eight
miles, was a condition truly enough to
discourage utterly the most optimistic
but not the members of
terminus at the Silver Lake road cross
ing to the lands to l irrigated and are
a part of the Arnold system. The Tine

least of Item! near Horse Butte, and the
North lateral Und to the north of and
about Bend. Construction has been
carried on on these two systems during
1909,1910 and 1911, the North lateral
having recently been completed to its
terminus (north of llend.)
The engineering features of the system
were of such a nature as to appall almost
any association of men. The intake,
which is one of the best on the Deschutes
River, was constructed by erecting coffer
dams and building a dvke parallel to the
canal along and in the river. To secure
a proper foundation at some points in
the canyon for the flume, the material
was cut from to to 15 feet long on the
upper side and filled over 10 feet on the
lower side. At a point two miles from
the intake is a rock-and-earth cut 3000
feet long, with a maximum depth of 19
feet. Ou the Tine forest canal are five
flumes and on the North lateral six,
while already one flume 3000 feet long
and another 600 feet long have been
constructed on two of the sub-laterals.
The maximum width of the main canal
is 38 feet.
While the main canal it only 4 tj miles
long, the terminus of the North lateral
isover 13 miles from the intake on the
river and the l'inc l'orest over 14 mites.
making a total of over 33 miles of main
lines. There will alio be numerous Mih
laterals, with a possible total additional
mileage of 35 miles.
Water for domestic purposes was first
used from the Arnold system during
May, 1911, and for irrigation during
June and is at this time applied to about
800 acres. This will be increased to
about 3000 acres by Sept. I. While the
company's successful prosecution of con
struction of the system was surprising,
its success financially has been unparal
leled. In accordance with the agreement
drawn by Mr. Wiest, all except one-half
share of the original stock of the com
pany has been surrendered by the hold
ers and bought at par by the company,
and shares of stock reissued to each and
every water right purchaser, the stock
being made appurtenant to the water
right and the water right appurtenant
to the land. The present market value

land fine l'orest Companies. In other
wonts, Interests represented by one

The Arnold Company still has left intact
1 10,511. ;6 of its original assets raised In
April, tyoS, mid additional assets of over
f 60,000 of unsold water rights. When
completed, which will probably be by
the latter part of 1913, the value of the
entire system will be approximately
f4 $0,000,
Neither the Arnold nor the IMue
l'orest or North Companies lus any
bonded indebtedness The total present
indebtedness of the Arnold Company is
$9,500, which is covered by interest
bearing notes and accounts of f 6,000 and
by real estate owned by the company
having a market value of 6,(xk, all of
which being additional assets to those
previously referred to.
The commercial Importance of the
Arnold system to llend Is readily seen
when it Is. noted that it will tarnish
homes for sou families on Irrigated
farms or a population of about 1000, and
add property values equal to onr-third
of the total assessed valuation of Crook
county less than six years ago.

At this time L. D. Wiest, formerly
connected with the Fltot Dutte Develop-1 of ,,, new ln tjle Arnoj,i Company
meat Co, during whose term ascitic!
engineer the irrigstion system at present
owned by the Central Oregon Irrigation
Co. was organised, Iwcatne affiliated with
the Arnold Company aud to him a
msjorlty of the company turned for de
liverance. The company's liabilities he
log almost 7,500 without any practical
assets, Mr. Wiest prepared au agreement
and required all the members to sign it
before be would accept the position of
chief engineer. This agreement laid the
foundation and dictated the future ex
ecutive and financial policies of the com
pany. Within one month substantial
assets amounting to 40,880 were secured
and the shares of capital stock rose to
par. Ably aitistcd by the president of
the company, W. J. McGillvray, and the
board of directors, Mr. Wiest rapidly
placed the affairs of the company upon
sound business principles and by April
18, 1908, contracts for construction were
let to John I'erguson, William Arnold,
W. J. McGillvray and J. K. Reed
These were soon followed by additional
contracts to some of the same parties
and to others, and the construction was
rapidly carried on through 1908 and the
canal opened to its tertniuus at the
Silver l.ake road crossing.
During the same period the stockhold
ers unanimously repealed the original
Jjy-Iaws and adopted their present by-
4ws, the same embodying the funda
jnentsl principles contained In Mr.
Wiesl't agreement.
During April, 1910, George Lowell
was awarded the contract for the con
slructlon of the company's flume in the
Deschutes canyon and it was completed
by Mr. Lowell and accepted by the com
pany Sept. 8, 1910. This flume Is one
mile long, 13 feet wide and 3 feet deep
and required 643,938 feet of lumber,
hoard measure. The plans and designs
were made by the chief engineer of the
company and it was constructed under
the supervision of Assistant Engineer
George S. Young. This flume lias been
pronounced by Government experts at
4he most substantial structure of its kind
In tbe state.
During tbe latter part of 1908 tbe
Floe Forest and North Irrigation Com
panies were organized. These com
panies' systems are canals or laterals to
