Half Million Acres Sold.

A press dispatch from Portland,
dated Tuseday, says Ownership
of almost one one-hundreth part Of
the state OF Oregon changed hands
today. After extended negotia-
tions the greater portion of the land
included in the old Oregon Central
military road grant was transferred
from the California and Oregon
Land company to a syndicate COM
posed of eastern and California cap
italists. Approximately 500, 900
acres are included in the sale and.
the consideration involved is about
$750,0O The principal purchas-
ers of this great tract are the Hun
ter Land company, of Minneapolis,
MINI. and Richard Sykes a capital
ist Of Santa Barbara Cal. Associ-
ated with them are the w. b. S.
Trimble company of Jamestown, N.
D., and Andrew Z. Johnson, vice
president of the Hunter Land COM
pany and president of the A. e
Johnson Land and Steamship COM
pany. The tract sold is a strip of
land running from the Cascade for
est reserve to the Oregon Idaho
boundary, a distance Of approxi-
mate1y 325 miles. 1t has a width
of twelve miles. The only portion
that is excluded from the sale is a
strip twenty-five miles long, rum
ming through the Klamath Indian
reservation. The purchase of the
Z tract is declared to be the initiative
step of an extensive colonization
project.

Without detailing the reasons,
such an order would mean the clos
ing of every mill and mine, of every
shop, store or place of business in
the Occur d'Alenes. There are
there about II, 600 people, the ma
jOrity of whom are laboring people
dependent upon the mines for a
livelihood. Not only would their
present occupation cease, but all
these people must remove to other
places, for the mines constitute the
sole means of occupation, and when
they close, Wallace and Wardner,
Gem and Burke and their surround
ing mountains will again become
the abode only of silence and the
wild fauna. Any court must hesi-
suits
In regard to a contention by the
defendants that its prior occupa-
tiOn of the location gives them the
right to use the river as they please,
Judge Beatty says: II cannot agree
with that claim. Their mining
operations must be so conducted as
to protect as Tar as possible the
rights and properties of others.
They have not, however, ruthlessly
destroyed complainant's property,
but have attempted to protect it by
building the dams and reservoirs to
irnpOund the tailings.'' -
In concluding his opinion Judge
Beatty says: II am clearly of the
/ opinion that complainants should
not have an injunction, but should
rely upon the recovery of such dam

IMPORTANT RULING
BY FEDERAL COURT
judge Beatty Gives Decision to Miners
Against Farmers on That
IaiIngS Suit.

Judge Betty of the federal court
has refused to grant the restraining
order asked for in the case of Nc
Carthy ct al. vs.. the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan Mining company. The
plaintiffs named and other persons
owning lands along the river below
defendants mill claimed the tail
ings from the mill damaged their
properties and poisoned and pOllut-
ed the waters, causing the death of
stock. The restraining order was
denied, the court holding that the
evidence presented in the case did
not Justify the issuance of the or
der for relief prayed for.
In rendering his decision, Judge
Beatty went fully into the case
He stated that since the former
hearing over 1900 pages of testi-
rnOny have been submitted for con-
sideration, which with oral srgu-
rnents and carefully prepared briefs
submitted at the former term of
court had been carefully gone over
and examined without his being
able to find any justification for a
different conclusion from that
reached.
Even if this testimony could be
held as changing the former testi-
mOny by affidavit, he said, Il
know from personal examination,
made at the request of both parties,
what the facts are as to the real
damage or injury, so far as discIOs-
ed by inspection of the premises -
Judge Beatty stated that even if
1t could be admitted that the COM
p1ainants had suffered injury and
would suffer more from the causes
/ alleged, there would still be PO-
/ tent reason why the court should
1 exercise great discretion in regard
to issuing a restraining order He

Weather Report.

The week opened with the tenn
perature slightly below normal over
most of the state, and this relative
ly cool period continued till the
morning of the 8th, when mini
mum temperatures of s degrees to
90 degrees were of common occur
renee. After that time the temper
ature rose rapidly, and the most
severe hot spell of the season cI1I-
minated on the 10th in maximum
temperatures of 100 degrees or
higher in all the lower valleys
and between 90 degrees and 100
degrees at plateau and mountain
stations. The 11th and 9th were
slightly cooler, but the mean on
these days was still above normal
A cool wave reached the western
counties on the 18th, too late for
discussion in this bulletin The
mean temperature for the week
was considerably above normal
having been about "a degrees IN
northern and eastern counties and
! 79 degrees in southwestern COID-
ties. The sky was generally CIeal
| till the 9th, inclusive. The I1th
and 18th were partly cloudy at most
stations, and on these dates local
thunderstorrns visited nearly all
sections of the state. In some of
the storms the electrical display
was unusually brilliant, and some
localities experienced brief gusts
of high wind, and the total pre-
cipitation generally above
normal, but no excessive amounts
were reported. Some localities
are suffering from lack of water
for irrigation, but in most sections
the supply is better than is usual
at this date. At Mountain Home

HEART TO HEART TALK

HALEY to Boise, to call on political
and personal friends. The Judge is
a good campaigner; in that he is a
good mixer. He makes a convinc-

es of people. For example; this is
about the way he delivered himself
while talking 10 two or three
gentlemen in the presence Of the
Maverick man.
II have tender spot in my
heart for Mountain Home and
Elmore county. Your people have
always been good to me; especial
ly in the way of expressing their
confidence by giving me big
vote. l am, therefore, especially
pleased to learn that the irriga-
tion system here is now an assur-
ed success. That means that you
are to have a prosperous county and
flourishing town.

that as a model for an off-hand

cerity, let him submit his plans

ENGINEER SUBLfTTE
REPORTS ON SYSTEM
Plenty of Water to Irrigate Twenty-Five
to Thirty Thousand
Acres Here

Civil Engineer Sublette, of Min
neapolis, who came here some
weeks since to act as consulting
engineer for the G. w. B. S. Co.
and to make report on its irri-
eating system to eastern capital
lists, who contemplate heavy in
vestments here, has, after more
than a month of work in the
field, made a partial report,
which is altogether favorable.
His estimate is that by complet-
ing the work now under construc-
ton, making liberal deductions for
evaporation, figuring that spring
water flowing into canals and res
ervoirs will only about equal the
loss by seepage, that from 20, 600 to
%, 600 acres can be irrigated.
This is on the basis that the
Little Camas reservoir dam is built
so as to hold a depth of forty feet
of water, and the Long Tom dam
sixty feet. Ia the former 1884 acres
will be covered by water and will
contain p, 600 acre feet. The lat
tCl VIII OOI NctAi4 - LOO c~lAC 49,
Of the Mountain Home reservoir
he has made no accurate estimate
as yet; but approximates it at 10, -
600 acre feet. This estimate, it
will be noticed, does not take
into consideration the Lime creek
waters, which will be the subject
of further Investigations which
will be made with view to ascer-
tanning the possibilities by extend
ing the system.
Mr. Sublette suggests one change
in the plans; that for running the
water from High Prairie into Cat
creek Instead of taking it from
be taken over Moore's prairie along
Wood creek, and by canal to Little
Camas, sending it through the ditch
to a new reservoir to be constructed
at the junction of Long Tom and
Syrup creeks, the place originally
intended for the construction oi
the Long Tom dam.
On his last trip to town Mr..
Sublette stated to a Maveric man,
in response to query, that the
canals as now constructed are O
ample capacity to carry all the
water that will be required to ir'
rigate all the lands the system
proposes to cover, now and in thu
future. This question was aslIet
because that is a stock criticism o
the local hammer brigade. Thi
eminent engineer disposed of tina
subject positively and unequivocal
1y. He stated further that h
could not comprehend the spiri
manifested here, to throw obstacle
in the way of ]. H. Garrett il
this great enterprise; one that viii
surround Mountain Home witt
1000 to 80, 900 acres of cultivated
highly productive lands, which Cal

additional expense.
