PORTLAND, Ore, March 1S.-
Take out your pencil and add
247,93S and 1922 and 1891
and 21,543. Then you will have
the number of acres in Harvey
county, Oregon controlled by VIM.
Hanley, cattle king and his asso-
ciates, G. e. S. Wood, Henry Ladd
Corbett and Judge Webster. These
are the holdings of the Willamette
Valley and Cascade Wagon Road
Co. the "P" ranch, the 90
ranch and the G. & o. Co. The
majority of these holdings were
secured by various methods set
forth in two previous articles.
They constitute today the chief
portion, perhaps 60 per cent, of
the tillable land of this big
county.
Was that enough land to tie up?
Was the ownership of the sole
river, water holes and springs
enough for these gentlemen of
finance and prosperity?
Not yet, 1t wasn't. There were
left $4,000 desirable acres. 1t was
here that the Carey act proved
useful. The Carey act was the in
vention of Judge Carey of Port
land. 1t provides that ny indi-
vidual or corporation can ask the
government to give it any number
of acres of land that are declared
desert in character, and that can
be reclaimed for the benefit OF
settlers who will purchase the
land and the water rights after
the land is reclaimed.
So now comes the Harvey Val
ley Improvement Co., incorporated
May FL, 1901, with VIM. Hanley,
Judge L. r. Webster and d. G.
IO'Reilly as incorporators. It's
articles of Incorporation state that
the company is formed to reclaim
desert lands and to open and pre-
pare the same for settlement.
1t was then that Harvey valley
learned that $4,000 acres more
was going to be taken over by the
men who already had the chief
holdings in the county.
Harvey valley woke up. The
fight was led by the Pacific Live
stock Co., which claimed the
scheme was merely a device to tie
up large areas of grazing land and
to make it impossible for the cdm-
pany to reach large pastures aldn g
the Silvies river.
Every quarter section of this
vast body of land was gone oter
by those fighting the scheme. Af-
o be- ~ Canffnnc
presented to the government and
latter fight that lasted for
months the federal commissioner
held that much of the land levied
on by the promoters was not arid
but was capable of producing good
crops.
Some mention was made by the
promoters of the scheme to store
the spring flood waters in reser-
voirs. Government experts visited
the valley and figured out that 1t
would require an expenditure of
100000 to install a reservoir
system. The Harvey Valley I'M
lprovement Co. had capital stock
of 100000.
This project to procure $50, 900
of the remaining acres of Harvey
county is in the hands of the de-
partment of the interior, final de-
cision not having been reached.
But whether he wins or loses
will make no great difference to
VIM. Hanley. For sHanley, once
cowpuncher, now cattle king, has
with him the financial powers of
the state. At his luxurious home
ranch he talks politics with sena-
tors, art with painters who try to
catch the beauties of the sunset on
the snow-capped mountains, and
literature with authors who come
to gain inspiration for stories of
western life.
Hanley is king.

Explanation Of MILEAGE

In conversation with Commissioners
Willis and Lytton in regard to their
claim for mileage, disallowcd by the
board at the last meeting we learned
the following facts:
The law provides that Il commissioners
shall be elected from the northern dis.
tIict, n from the southern district
and the other from the line of the
railroad.
In pursuance of that law, Commission.
or LyttOn was elected from the southern
district two years ago and Commissioner
willis from the northern district last
fall. That at this time Commissioners
Lytton and Willis are both temporarily
residents of Elko, the former for the
purpose of educating his children and
the latter on account of the illness of
his wife.
That they have been advised by com
petent attorneys that unless they repre-.
sent the districts from which they were
elected that their official acts might be
inValidated. That the only way In
which they can prevent the question Of
residence being raised in the future Is
to claim their residence and mileage
from the place Of residence at tho time
of their election. That their claim,
for mileage pat before the board at its
last meeting were made in pursuance Of
TINS ADVICE. That ms members of the
board OF commissioners on the advice Of
the district attorney they reduced their
claims for mileage.
That neither of them had any intcn
ton OF violating the law or claimins
mileage that they arc not entitled to
That had they had any such intention
they MS u majority Of tho board. coult
have allowed their mileage MS claimed
