INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
SPEND SIS, 900 ON CANALS.
Irrigation Company Plans to Finish
$4,000 Project.

Bend - The Arnold Irrigation COM
pany is spending s35, 900 on improve
mepts to the distributive water sys-
TEN. The largest undertaking of the
plans will be the building of new
fiume. The fume will be II feet wide
and three feet deep, and mile and a
quarter long. The body Of it will be
of two-inch lumber, and the support
ing timbers and foundation will be con-
structed in most substantial manner.
The intake will be enlarged and per-
manent gates installed. Approx
mately three miles of old canal win be
widened. 1t is planned to build from
six to eight miles of new canal on the
east lateral, which runs eastward into
the Arnold section; and also some three
or four miles of new work on the north
lateral. which will water land lying
directly east of and southeast of town.
The Arnold system will water ap-
proximately 10000 acres lying east
and southeast of town. 1t is mutual
company, the stock of which is owned
by farmers and Bend business men. A
large portion of the land lying under
this system was originally taken up as
homesteads and desert land e-tries,
and the holdings ranged from $50 to
500 acres to each man. Lately these
larger tracts have been divided and are
being sold TO newcomers, who plan to
devleop their holdings extensively as
soon as the system is finished and
water delivered to their lands.

40 MILES DRAINAGE CANALS.
Klamath County Project VII Reclaim
1900 Acres on Wood River.


Klamath Falls - Work has been
resumed on the canal along Wood riV-
er. for the reclamation Of l9, 600 acres
of the weed land. The land has a
frontage Of seven miles on the river.
1t will be necessary 10 cut about ~
miles of canals to properly drain and
reclaim the tract. About seven miles
were made last year, and it is expected
to complete about ten miles this year.
This will form a dyke along the river
and around the north end c. the land
that will keep the water from over
flowing the land, and then cross canals
are to be run through the property for
drainage purposes.
The Wood river valley is acknowl-
edged one Of the best dairy sections in
Oregon, and with this big tract drained
and put into timothy and red top and
settled with dairy farmers, II Will
easily produce a greater revenue than
that derived from all other resources
in the county at the present time.
The canal is being cut in fairly
straight line and cuts off all the points
and curves of the river, and thus leaves
strip of land Of varying width along
the west side Of the river. As this
land is somewhat higher and perfectly
dry, there are many choice tracts Of an
acre or more along the seven miles Of
water front, suitable for building pur-
poses. This strip is to be plated and
sold for summer homes. 1t is stated
that there is enough Of this land to &C
commodate about $50 cottages.

len Acres Bring SIG. 600.

Hood River-An indication that the
So, 600 mark for Hood River orchard
land is not far away was shown recent
ly when ten acres were sold for s19,-
900. The highest price for Hood Riv-
er orchard property was paid by Felix
Won Hake Vonegut, resident of In
dianapolis, Ind, who will come here
to reside. The orchard, which is eight
years old, is situated on the East side
of the valley and consists of a solid
block of Newton and Spitzenberg
trees. The tract sold to Mr.. Vonne-
gut has the distinction of being the
first piece Of orchard at Hood River to
sell for 81. 900 an acre, which was in
1906. Later it was sold to Mr.. Hills
for the highest price at that time, ST.
700 an acre. Again changing hands
it still maintains the high mark for
orchard realty here at 81, 900 per acre.

SENDS RELIEF TO ESTRADA.
General Gordon Prepares Expedition
and Defies Madriz.

New Orleans, La, March 2s.-The
crisis in the strained relations between
the representatives of the Madriz anc
the Estrada factions of the Nicaraguar
government was reached late today,
when General Gordon, who is organic
ing an Estrada relief expedition, sud-
denly appeared the Madriz consul
ate and entering the room where Luis
Corea, Madriz's minister to Washing
ton, and other Madriz officials were ir
conference, defied them to keep him
from starting his expedition for Gen.
tral America.
1t was dramatic scene. Corea and
General Altschul were seated at table
when Gordon suddenly entered. He
calmly told this enemies that the report
that ne was organizing an army was
true.
Then you are liable to 81, 900 fine
and three years Imprisonment, accord
ing to American laws" shouted Corea.
81 am ready to sign a statement
that | am raising an army here and
that | have chartered ship and / defy
you to do anything, was Gordon's re-
ply. He then handed each of the Mad
riz officials his card and walked out.
Minister Corea was angered by the
proceeding and said he would endeavor
to have Gordon imprisoned at once.
Local government officials said they
would refuse to take official action un-
til orders were received from Washing
ton.
Later in the day General Gordon sud-
denly wheeled on the two detectives
following him and thrashed them both.
1t is believed that part of the relief
expedition will attempt to sail tonight.

Brick Plant at Lakexiew.

Lakeview-A. T. Zeek, who has been
engaged in the manufacture of brick
about three miles south of town for
some time, has purchased FIVE acres of
land from Roy Woodwork, on Indian
creek. He will abandon the old works
and set up a new plant on the new site.
The clay which will be used is said to
be better suited for brick making, and
Mr.. Zeek expects to turn out much
better brick than he has been able to
before.
