Early Irrigation
This story on early irrigation has
been carried over from our Thirty
Year Anniversary edition. 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.

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.
