It tells of the beginning of irrigation on the Umatilla project which brought set- tiers here. The very beginning of any at- tempt to Irrigate lands on the pres ent Umatilla project was made in 1897 by R. E. W. Spargur and Bar- bara Spargur. Very little was known of the Spargurs. He is reportée to have been an English gentleman and she a French lady« They came here, it is claimed, from Portland, but other wise their history is unknown. They seemed to have had considerable money, but lost heavily and finally dropped out of the program when the Maxwell Company took over their final interests here in 1904. They built a small ditch from the river near the head of the present Maxwell canal and brought water to the present site of the new park. But very little was accomplished in reclaiming lands. The records show that they deed ed the lands to H. G. Hurlburt and later Hurlburt deeded to the Spar gurs, in 1902, then in August, 1903, the lands were deeded to DeWitt C. Brownell, and Brownell to the Min nehaha Irrigation company on Jan uary 30, 1904. The same lands were transferred, on April 8th, 1904, to the Maxwell Land and Irrigation company, of which J. F. McNaught was president, and G. S. Rankin, secretary. The consideration named in the deed was »75,000. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Hutton. James Hutton and Marian Hutton of La Grande and Mr. and Mrs. Blaine Alspach of Pendleton visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Hutton in Stanfield Sunday.

Purdy and Leo- nard Pearson and Jesse W. Tabor, who still owns his land. By 1905, the Maxwell company had bought 8000 acres of the old Northern Pacific railroad grant, and had platted the west side of town. It had built the present Maxwell canal and made contracts to irri gate all the lands of the district. These lands were composed of the Maxwell lands, the desert entries, a tew homesteads, some state lands and some public lands. When the government entered the field the Maxwell company sold its canal to the reclamation service for »15.000 and a paid up water right to 300 acres. A contract to irrigate the lands under the new sysfem for »60 per acre, payable in ten an nual installments, was granted. The government began work on the feed canal and soon after on the Cold Springs dam. Hermiston began to grow rapidly, and a new deal was well on its way in the sage brush deserts of these two counties. Legal Notices Land Sale Notice. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That the undersigned.
