RAILROAD AND IRMGATl0N MEN.

d. H. Ashton, said to be a son
of Chief Engineer Ashton of the
Short Line who has charge of
construction work at Vale, S. II.
Osborn, also connected with the
Short Line Engineering corps,
and L. Cole, made a quiet visit
to our city the first of this week.
The Times-Herald did not
learn the exact purpose of the
visit of these men, but every
thing points to some railroad ac-
tivity in the near future by the
Hartman people. 1t has been
stated several times that the
Hartman line would begin con-
struction west from Vale in the
near future and no doubt they
were here looking into the right
of-way matters. They stated
they would return in about two
weeks.
Mr.. Cole was particularly in
terested in irrigation projects
and discussed reclamation possi-
bilities with those who are more
or less familiar with such work.
The Silver Creek project SEEM
ed to appeal to him and he went
into the matter to considerable
length with a large number OF
the land owners of that district
who are in the city on court
matters. He stated most positi-
vely that if the land owners of
the district desired it he could
secure the capital to put in the
reservoir and irrigate the Silver
Creek valley.
Mr.. Cole used to be in this
country several years ago where
he bought beef, and is more or
less familiar with conditions.
Perhaps more can be learned
upon their next visit which is
promised in a short time.
The times-herald. [volume] (Burns, Harney County, Or.) 1896-1929, 1910-04-02

selves he desired to state that he
favored a gravity system. Even
though the first cost might be
greater the operation would prove
much cheaper than a pumping
plant and be most satisfactory in
the end. He had secured some
figures on the possible cost of
piping the water from the Par
ker springs and said six-inch
wood pipe capable of carrying
sufficient water for 1900 popula-
ton would cost less than $40, 600
for ten miles and with $4,000 for
covering it would be the entire
cost of laying it into Burns.
M. L. Lewis stated that we
should get the engineer to make
estimates of flow and possible
cost.

IMPORTANT MEN HERE.

DdANhA - Va NA@N
of Burchard & Hubbard, of st.
Paul, and w. P. Davidson, treas
urer of the Northwest Colonial
ton Co., arrived here last Tues
day in company with F. S, Rieder
and they have gone all over the
valley looking at land. 1t is re-
ported with some authority that
these men with others Interested
have practically closed a deal for
the purchase of the Road Grant
Land. While The Times-Herald
has not received this direct from
those interested, it is the general
report that should they find the
land as represented the purchase
will be made. They go on west
from here to inspect land.
This is one of the most import
ant deals ever made in Eastern
Oregon and means the rapid de-
velopment of the interior. The
gentlemen connected with this
deal are among the most success
full colonist organizations in the
entire United States and they
have the means to take care of
the vast tract and if necessary
finance irrigation projects that
will increase the productiveness
of the land. The Oregonian of
recent date says regarding the
purchase:
Sale of all the land involved in
the big land grant of the William
site Valley & Cascade Mountain
Road Company, now owned by
the French banking concern of
Lazard Freres, is practically as
sured in Eastern Oregon, a syn
dicate of capitalists comprised OF
]. C. Wood, w. P. Davidson and
John E. Burchard, of st. Paul,
and A. o. Robertson. of Mine
apolis, being the prospective pur-
chasers.
Telegraphic information re-
ceived from Ontario last night
was to the effect that the Min
neapolis men had deposited a
check for 100000 in the First
National Bank of that place to
bind the deal in case the land
after examination shall be found
as represented.
The Eastern representatives
are known to be personal agents
of J. ]. Hill, and the move to
purchase the holdings of the
willamette Valley G. Cascade
Mountains Road is said to be to
make connection with the Gil
more & Pittsburg through Cen
trail and Eastern Oregon to Port
land and the Pacific Coast.
While no public announcement
is made relative to the terms of
purchase, it is learned on the
very best authority that they in
clude thorough inspection of
the roads holdings from Onta-
rio into the Harvey Valley coun-
try, where the field notes, sur
veys and plats of the company
will be inspected and checked up.
If found as represented the pur-
chasers will close the deal by
making a second payment OF
$500. 600. The total purchase
price is reported to be above
$1,000, 900.

INVESTIGATE wATEP SUPPLY.

Considerable interest has been
aroused among the property own
ers of this city looking to the in
stallation of water works and a
sewerage system by the city of
Burns. A special meeting of
the council was held Tuesday
evening when M. L. Lewis made
q proposition in connection with
the springs he owns west of town.
Archie MCGOWAN also had a pro-
position or rather a suggestion
as to the possibility of bringing
water from the Parker springs
about eight miles north. So
favorably impressed were the
council that it was decided to
call a mass meeting of citizens
at the Commercial Club rooms
Thursday evening to discuss the
matter and ask for an expression
as to the advisibility of securing
the services of a competent engi-
neer to thoroughly investigate
the various sources of water
supply.
The meeting Thursday evening
was not attended by as repre-
sentative a body of property
owners as the Importance of the
move would justify, yet quite a
number was present. Mayor
Clevenger called the meeting to
order and stated its purpose.
Several had visited the Parker
springs Thursday and were asked
to express themselves. Assessor
Donegan stated it was his opin-
ion that these springs would fur
nish sufficient water for present
and other springs were available
for future. He pointed out the
necessity of amending the city
charter before we could expect
to install system of this kind,
as at present we can bond for
only $25,000 for such purpose.
DR.. H. M. Horton followed along
the same line, stating we need
the water works and sewerage,
but feared the expense would be
too great to avail ourselves of the
gravity system suggested and
that possibly a pumping plant
would be most feasible.
Among others who discussed
the Importance of immediate
action were Councilmen White
and Young, DR.. l.. E. Hibbard,
A. j. Irwin and r. B. Post. All
of them desired the matter be
investigated and report made of
feasibility and cost of various
supplies.
Mr.. Donegon introduced the
following resolution which was
adopted by a rising vote: Re
solved that the city council be
requested to employ a competent
engineer to investigate and re-
port on a water system for the
city of Burns. "
Archie MCGOWAN was asked
for his views and he stated that
the resolution of Mr.. Donegan
covered all that the meeting
could expect to accomplish, but
since others had expressed them.

The cattle markets of the country
are thronged these days with crowds
OF countrymen looking for likely
young feeders. The pressing work
OF the season is about over. giving
the farmer a little spare time, and
he Is improving 1t we'll, looking for
something to consume the grain and
roughage he has grown during the
summer.
The success of the corn crop in the
great middle country has much to do
with the present feeder demand. The
inquiry Sor well-bred yearlings and
calves is really the only sensational
feature presented by the current cat
tie trade. Farmers are attending
public sales and paying higher prices
for calves and yearlings than have
been known for many years. The
Times has often, in the past, sounded
warning on account OF the whole
sale slaughter of heifer calves, pre-
dieting that the time would soon
come when the country must face q
famine as result Of making every
calf into veal.

That a famine Is upon us, both In
young cattle and mich COWS, cannot
be denied. and ii Is high time that
this policy of sending heifer calves to
the butcher at five weeks old be
stopped. The demand for heavy
steers and heifers continues dull and
slow at prices fully 81 per cwt. lower
than those paid at this time last
year. There is every reason to be-
lieve that pony cattle will sell we'll
all through the present season, but
the outlook for weighty cattle Is any
thing but encouraging. One of the
peculiar features of the current cattle
trade is the active demand for can
ners and cutters. Western farmers
find that they must cut down their
stock, owing to a lack OF feed, but
they are gratified to find market
broad enough to take all OF their
common cattle at higher prices than
were ever before known.
In the sheep and lamb department
the situation is about the same as in
cattle. The present demand is for
feeding lambs, with q prospect that
