The Oregonian News Bureau at
Washington, sende the following to
that paper under recent date: In
spector Green reports to the secre
tary of lhe interior that the lands
selected by the state of Oregon un
der the Carey act, and known as
list six—that is. the lands intended
to he reclaimed by the Pilot Butte
Developing Company—are not orid
He reports well developed juniper
trees scattered over the area, there
fore, he concludes, the lands are
I not subject to reclamation under
■the Carey act. This report will
i unquestionably lead to a prolonged
wrangle and may be the meat s of
preventing for some time reclama
tion in the Dfschute« valley, either
by the government or by private
enterprise.
Before the Pilot Butte Company
closed its contract with the state,
as the records ,how, it took the
prec ution to secure the opinion of
the department as to whether or
i not the growth of juniper tre*s
would be held as an indication
that the lands »elected by the state
were or were not arid. The state
land agent simultaneously asked
the opinion of the department as
to the character of these lnn-is
He stated in hiB letter that the
land “is entirely destitute of water
ami is strictly a desert, but on cer
tain portion, there is a scattering
growth of junip‘-rs. The juniper,
and especially the scrubby variety
growing on this desert, is not suit
able for lumber, can be used only
for wood and fence [Mists, an«t there
is no more of such wood on any
quarter section than will be nec
essary for the use of the settler on
the quarter section. It cannot be
made into lumber aud be shipped
away, am! can be used only in the
immediate vicinity of its growth.”

crops without irrigation. These
affidavits were filed under the sec
retary’s instructions above quoted,
and are from Congressman-elect
Williamson, the Oregon State En
gineer, ex-Surveyor General Pen-
gra, Presiilent Lytle, and Chief En
gineer Hammond, of the Columbia
Southern Railway; Hydraulic En
gineer Clark, of Portland; J. M
Moore, of Portland, and many
others of known responsibility who
have personally gtme over the
grounds. There is also filed an
exhaustive analysis of the soil and
statement of precipitation, by
months, on the Upper Deschutes.
