JULIAN IIYK11
.M-
With admitted feasible irriga
tion projects that will cover
thousands and thousands of acres
of productive land Harney county
certainly has great prospects for
rapid development under right
conditions. These conditions
hinge more or less upon trans
portation to give it a market for
its products. Another favorable
feature is the large amount of
government land awaiting the
homeseeker and the home
seeker looking for the land. All
these will come about in the not
distant future by keeping our re
sources before the public. This
is being done by the Hill and
Harriman railroad systems par
ticularly, who expect rich picking
in this territory a little later.
Judge Lovett. head of the Har
riman system, when in Burns
last summer said we should de
velop the country and make it an
inducement for a railroad to build
in. Those who would develop
the country from lack of trans
portation. For example: The
government's estimate of the
cost of the Silvies Valley reser
voir places the excess cost of
wagon freight an materials -at
$600,000. Can land in Harney
Valley stand such an expense for
water without railroad transpor
tation to market? It is unreason
able to expect it and Judge Lovett
would not wait for such a thing.
Tho Oregon legislature organ
zed last Monday. Tho assembly
gang attempted to capture things
right up to the last but they were
turned down decidedly. Jay
Bowerman decided to again be
president of the senate but Ben
Selling of Portland defeated him.
Jerry Rush, of Eastern Oregon
representative, is speaker of the
house.
Oswald West was sworn in as
governor on Tuesday and appar
ently everything is moving along
in fine shape. The 20 day session
idea was dispelled, however,
when the bills begun showing
up they scorn to be as numerous
as ever in spite of tho initiative
and referendum.
IIARNBV VALLEY OIL & OAS CO.
Wednesday night was tho first
real winter weather experienced
here. It began snowing early
that day and continued all day
with a result that it is an average
depth of seven inches in the val
ley and much deeper on the
mountains. The thermometer
registered 9 below as tho cold
est Wednesday night and Thurs
day morning at tho time of read
ing it was between three and
four below. The reading Fri
day morning showed it had not
been any colder than at tho for
mer reading. It has since moderated.
A radical change in the past
policy of tho Harney Valley Oil
& Gas Co. was made at the an
nual meeting of the stockholders
of tho concern held in this city
the first of tho week. The man
agement of tho affairs of the
company is now in the hands of
men who will inspire confidence
in tho concern and who will uso
I their best efforts to develop tho
holdings in this county.
I With promising prospects for
both oil and gas the company
seems to have done very little in
the past to develop the property
or ascertain in any manner just
what it has on tho lands ac
quired. The new management
i will endeavor to secure the ncc-
rcessary machinery to prospect
I the territory and givo stockhold
ers something tangible for tho
monoy invested.
Tho following directors were
elected: II. M. Horton. Chaun
cey Cummins, Chas. Wilson, D.
W. Yoder, Frank Davey, II. Den
man, S. M. Talbot and Frank
Shumway. Tho officers are:
Chas. Wilson, president; II. M.
Horton, vice president; Josephine
Locher, "secretary; Frank Davey,
treasurer; S. M. Talbot, superintendent.
COUNTV COURT ADJOURNES.
County court finished tho busi
ness of the January term last
Monday and adjourned.
The sheriff was authorized to
secure tho necessary help to cor
rect and bring up erroneous
assessments of non-resident tax
payers. Some GOOO deeds from
the Oregon Valley Land Co. to
individual holders has caused
much work. Former Deputy
Clerk Cawlfield and his brother,
D. A. Cawlfield aro at work on
the roll.
Liquor licenses were granted
to Lloyd Johnson, Harris &
Fitzgerald, C. A. Haines, M.
Horton, J. W. Lee. Hereafter
by an order entered, no licenses
will bo granted for a less period
than six months nnd applicants
must file all affidavits required
by law.
An additional doputy clerk
was provided for.

The Harney County High

A deed executed December 28
convoying tno ngiu-oi-wny ui
tho Boiso & Western Railroad to
the Harriman system was re
ceived for record at tho clerk's
ofilco yestorday morning. A
similar deed was received and re
corded at Vale according to tele
phone advico received from there
yestorday. No announcement
from an authentic Bourco had
been mndo either at Vale or
Burns, yesterday as to tho sig
nificance of tho deal or what it
portends. By somo it is consid
ered that tho Hill interests,
which ithasfalways been sup
posed wcro tho real backers of
the Boiso & Western, havo a-
bandoncd tho territory and loft
tho field entirely to Hnrrimnn.
This is possiblo but not at nil
probablo considering tho situa
tion. It has hcrotoforo been an
nounced that a joint track agree
ment had been reached between
tho two systoms so far as it af
fected Malheur Pass. Harriman
has a government right-of-way
through tho canyon, a portion of
which will expire next spring.
Tho Hill peoplo nsked for a right-
of-way which tho government
signified a willingness to grant
under condition that should cer
tain reservoir projects bo taken
up the track bo clovatcd ono
hundred foot Tho Harriman
right-of-way is not subject to
such restrictions. In order to
hold this pass without comply
ing with theso later restrictions
it is necessary that narriman be
gin construction before tho limit
expires under which thoy hold
the pass.
Tho Boiso & Western (Hill)
owned practically an entire right-of-way
over deeded lands from
this valley through to Vale, but
could not got ono through the
government portion. It is tho
opinion of mnny that tho deed
convoying this to the Harriman
system is merely to simplify
mnttcrs and means early con
struction. Tho Harriman peoplo
could not disnoso of its rights to
Hill, therefore this move is made
to get a joint track through tho
canyon.
Another indication that Mr.
Hill has not abandoned tho terri
tory is tho conditions under which
some of the deeds for right-of
way over privato property were
granted. It is positively known
that in some of these deeds it is
stipulated that tho road company
should deed them land in lieu
thereof. This nppears to con
nect the Hill interests directly
with tho purchasers of the Road
Land Grant It doesn't look
reasonable to suppose that Mr.
Hill has abondoned tho territory.
All things considered it looks
favorable to immediate construe
tion work rather than otherwise
