THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



173 



OREGON. 



A company which was formed near La Grand, Union 

 county, within the past year is now building canals for 

 irrigation purposes, and is about to close a contract for 

 the construction of a dam at Meadow Brook. This will 

 store water to supply 35,000 acres in Grande Ronde valley. 



At a special meeting of the stockholders of the Owy- 

 hee Ditch Company to consider the proposition of joining 

 the Malheur irrigation district, a resolution was adopted 

 agreeing to join the district provided the Owyhee set- 

 tlers' prior rights were recognized in case of shortage of 

 water. Similar action was taken by the stockholders of 

 the Nevada Ditch Company at a meeting held recently. 



Engineers employed by settlers in Crook county 

 have recently completed surveys for a reservoir at Cres- 

 cent Lake on the Upper Deschutes river. Application for 

 rights has been submitted to the Secretary of the In- 

 terior, Crescent Lake being located in the national forest 

 reserve. 



James John, president of the Hartman Prospect Com- 

 pany of Pendleton, is of the opinion that by proper con- 

 struction work many thousands of acres of land may be 

 irrigated by waters from McKay and Birch creeks. He 

 proposes to interest the commercial association in the 

 formation of an irrigation company. 



A company known as the Fall River Irrigation Com- 

 pany is planning the reclamation of 2,000 acres near 

 Bend. Land owners are stockholders. The following are 

 interested: M. J. M'ain, John Usher, A. D. Lewis, John 

 Peters, Joe Hoffman, Bob Bowser and Harold Palmer. 

 The main canal will be about six miles long. 



Early next spring the Powder Valley Irrigation Com- 

 pany will begin work on two reservoirs in the Powder 

 River valley, seven miles east of North Powder, and 

 twenty miles north of Baker City. The company pro- 

 poses another reservoir about thirty miles northeast of 

 Baker City. The system will irrigate 65,000 acres on 

 both sides of the Powder river. 



The Western Umatilla Water Users' Association has 

 been incorporated with capital stock of $10,000. The com- 

 pany is composed of settlers with holdings under the 

 Western Land & Irrigation Company's project. Directors 

 are: C. D. Teal, president; R. C. Canfield, vice-president; 

 J. W. Campbell, secretary, and Thomas Hurlburt. treas- 

 urer. About 10,000 acres, west of the Umatilla river are 

 represented in this organization. 



In financial circles it is reported that the Deschutes 

 Irrigation & Power Company will be unable to float a 

 new bond issue as originally proposed. By payment of 

 bond interest a foreclosure is avoided, but it is said that 

 the company will be reorganized as outlined several 

 months ago. In a recent announcement sent to stock- 

 holders by the secretary it was stated that new officers 

 would be elected at the January meeting. 



The Oregon, Washington and Idaho Finance Com- 

 pany, which has recently taken over the Columbia South- 

 ern Irrigation Company, has secured signatures to con- 

 tracts and will complete the original project. A dam 

 will be constructed to store waters for about 45,000 acres. 

 Officers of the company are as follows: President, Otis 

 H. Wright; secretary, A. D. Katz; vice-president and 

 treasurer, H. B. Steel of Van Couver, Washington. 



Pending litigation over the title to the grant lands of 

 the Dallas Military Wagon Road Company the Eastern 

 Oregon Land Company is planning the development of 

 water power on the Deschutes. Test points are now be- 

 ing sunk and it is proposed to construct a dam more than 

 1,000 feet in length to raise the water of the river 140 

 feet. Balfour. Guthrey & Co., are fiscal agents, and 

 Whistler & Stubblefield are engineers in charge of pre- 

 liminary work. 



W. H. Bradford. E. C. Belknap and Chas. H. Glein 

 have filed articles of incorporation at Portland for the 

 Warner Lake Irrigation Company. Under its plan the 

 company proposes reclamation work in Warner Valley, 

 Lake and Harney counties, to cost $250,000. The com- 

 pany also proposes to operate electric railways and de- 

 velop electricity for power purposes. Offices will be at 

 Portland. About 97,000 acres are available for irrigation 

 in this district.
