Tbe Sllve Lake Leader has this to
say or tbe fine oouotry now tied
op near Paisey in tbe Interest of
Portland money-grabbers:
Ed Maya, of Portland, who is in
terested in tbe Portlaod irrigationn ro-
ject, which was organized foi the
purpose of reclaiming tbe large body
of most excellent laud which is lo
cated south of Summer Lake aud
north of Paisley, by building reser
voire and diverting tbe waters of the
Chewauoau river, came uo from Pais
ley Tuesday morning, and proceeded
noitb on tbe outgoing stage, . saying
ne must reach Hbaniko In aixtr
noais. we vere unable to learn any
thing about the plans of tbe company.
but judging from Mr. May's haste
there must be some movement con
templated In tbe near future. This
project has been hanging tire for sev
eral years and we hope tbe company
baa finally deoided to get busy, for so
long as tbey bold on to tbe land and
do nothing, just so long are tbey re
tarding the settlement and develop
ment of a large area of the rlohest
land ia oential Oregon. "Shoot.
Luke, or give up tbe gun."
La Crande, Tbe Dalles and other
points, and from Sbaoiko to Laka
view by stage, a long and tedioua
ride. . Mr. Oilnger was one of the pio
neers of Paonia, and says that in many
respectj tbis vallev resembles that,
except tbat Goose Lake valiey is
wider, and bas be thir-ks a better sale
for fruit and crops of a!l kinds. Tbe
altitude o Paonia is about 6000 feet
or about 1000 feet higher than tbat of
this section, yet there fruit is grown
on a large scale and at a great profit
for tbe grower is the one pursuit of
the people. lie says at first frost
bothered tbem to some extent, but
tbat witb tbe. clearing away of tbe
sage-brush, the plowing and cultiva
tion of the land, seems to have
ameliorated the climate, so tbat now
frost ol a damaging nature does not
occur. Judging from experience thus
gained he believes with tbe coming
ot me railroad,- and subsequent de
velopment that this valley will be
elevated to tbe trout rank iu fruit
production.
Such testimony from an experi
enced mau operating under like
conditions is very enoouragiug to alt
