BIG IRRIGATION SCHEMES.
The Water of Hood River to be Used
for irrigation.

for irrigation.
Experience has taught the farm
ers and fruit growers of Hood Riv-
er valley that the lands of that sec
tion are more productive when ir-
rigated, and as result Of this ex-
perience two very large irrigation
schemes have been inaugurated.
The East Side Water Supply Co.
and the East Fork Irrigation Co.
have been consolidated under the
name of the East Fork Irrigation
Co. The new organization will
commence operation at once con-
structing bitches and fumes. This
ditch will cover all the tillable land
on the east side Of the valley, and
when completed will furnish suf-
6cient water to irrigate every farm
in that section.
On the west side of the river pre-
parations are being made to con-
struct a ditch-fume that will car
ry 5000 inches of water, which is
estimated to be sufficient toirrigate
from 5000 to 5000 acres Of land.
To construct the necessary fumes
for this immense ditch 100000 feet
of lumber will be required, and
Mr.. Frank Davenport has begun
erecting o mill on the river with
which to supply the lumber When
these irrigation schemes are per-
fected, what the producing power
Of Hood River valley will be is al
most beyond conjecture. Already
one Of the garden spots of Eastern
Oregon; but when 10000 acres of
such fruit land is brought under
systematic irrigation that valley
will undoubtedly become one of
the greatest fruit producing Sec
tions of the world.

Stopped a Runaway Team.

The East Oregonian tells of
drayman who performed heroic
feat in stopping a runaway dray
team in Pendleton the other day.
His team was running away, tear
ing furiously down Main street to-
ward the bridge. The reins were
dragging on the ground and the
man was standing on the floor of
the dray, He climbed along the
pole between the horses and reach
ed for the lines, which he succeed
ed in securing Then he climbed
back to the seat and checked the
headlong speed of the frightened
team. Men who saw him perform
the act said that no money could
have tempted them to do it.

During the administration of
Governor Pennoyer several con.
victs were pardoned on condition
that they leave the state forever.
The pardon convicts have not full
filled the provisions Of the pardon
in every instance. II is understood
one Of this class is now living with
in the state. 1t is probable that
the department of justice will take
up the case of this individual, which
will bring up the question Of the
right Of the governor to pardon on
such conditions, or the power of
the state to enforce them.

citing. Mr.. Lash, who was up for
recorder had no opponent, and,
Hansford, making no effort for the
office of city treasurer, Rickers sue
ceeded himself with ease. DR.. r.

1928, alter the transaction OF what little
routine business that had been left, all

succeeding body and the Council went
into mock session.
In the regular meeting there was but
one question which aroused discussion,

tor be authorized TO go before the Gem
cral Assembly ana ask for law providing
for a board Ofthree canvassers OF tho vot-
ing list aud registration who shall give
their whole time TO the work. That reso-
luton was finally passed without amend
ment. but not until after an hours afgu-
ment.
Councilman Shcahan opened he discus

been ignored la the committee. IL was to
the effect that the Jaw asked for should
be so restrictive thai not more than two
OF the canvassers should bo of the same
political party. I'm support of his amend
meDt MIR. She ahan delivered di.course on
partisanship, rev.ewing the Titocu affair IA,

Chairman Parkhu OF the committee

On January there Is to come out in
Chicago the first issue OF new society

wider ground than has been attempted

Mr.. Thomas Russell OF the United States

written an interesting work on meteoro-
logy which Macmillan d Co. have in press.
IL is entitled "Weather and Flood Fore
casting Methods" and is fully illustrated

A most interesting rs well rs timely
book is "The Life OF Alexander III, OF
Russia" written by Charles Cove, the au-
thor Of the " Life of Bismarck" 1t gives
some account Of the predecessor OF the
late Gar and is moreover brought CON-
pletely up TO date.

Noah Brooks, the popular story writer

"prohibition," "local option" the
"Keely cure" and other devices to
cure or to check drunk eness. what our
community needs -.- what our state and
nation needs revival OF old
fashioned temperance sentiment.
Would that some apostle of temper
ance might arise to impress upon our
young men especially, the need of in
diyidual self control! In this matter,
every one may DO law unto himself,
and the greater the number of those
who refrain from the use Of int0xicat-
ing drinks rs matter of principle, the
better It will be for our community.
No "cure" however excellent, seems
to be permanent unless there be
coupled with 1t the necessary element
Of self.help. You can not convince n
man against his will, neither can you
radically cure him. To be cured Is n
good thing. but to be- whole without
being cured, Is better"
