THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS-.

While not much was accom-
plished at the recent session of the
irrigation congress at Ogden, Utah,
the meeting will be Of some bene-
fit to the Cause of irrigation in the
arid West. There were large
number of delegates and they
were enthusiastic in working for
the objects of the meeting. The
proceedings of the congress were
we'll advertised in the newspapers,
which has already created gener-
al interest that will finally culmin-
ate in decisive action. While the
United States geological survey is
working steadily upon the prelim-
mary matters pertaining to the re-
clamation of the arid districts,
there is yet much to do before re-
suits are accomplished, aud this
depends in no small degree upon
the action and interest shown by
the people who desire irrigation
by the aid of the government.
The law sets aside the proceeds
from the sale of public lands in
the regions covered, for general IT.
rigation work. Up to the close of
the last fiscal year this fund
amounted to about fifteen million
dollars. The receipts have steadily
increased, the figures for the past
year being equal to those of the
two preceding years.
The states and territories en-
titled to irrigation money from the
sales of their lands are Arizona,
Colorado, California, Idaho, Kan
sas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada,

Knox-Kantner Company.

The Knox Kantner Company was
greeted by fair sized and apppreciative
audience last FRIDAY night at the Chris
tian church, but it seemed strange that
more did not take advantage Of the op-
portunity to hear such a rare treat. 1t
was not as if the people we're in doubt
as to the merit of their program, for Mr..
Knox has visited Heppner before and
this was an assurance that he would
have only the best support that was to
be obtained.
The two solos OF the evening were
sung by II. L. Hockett, who has fine

New Mexico, North Dakota, Ore
gon, Utah, Washington and Wy
oming. It is in these states that
the geological survey has been op-
rating with view to carrying into
effect the general irrigation scheme
contained in the Federal law. After
a careful consideration of the irri-
cation problem and its possibilities,
it was last year decided to build
what are known as the Sweetwater
dam and the St. Mary system of
canals in Montana, the Gunnlson
tunnel irrigation works in Color
ado, the Truckee system In Ne
vada, and the Salt river dam in
Arizona. The aggregate cost of
these five enterprises is estimated
ten million dollars.
In the United States there are
six hundred million acres of va
cant land, one half of which is
suitable only for grazing. Enough
water runs to waste in these arid
and semi-arid regions every year
to irrigate seventy-five million
acres.
With the large amount of arid
lands in Morrow and Umatilla
counties which would be very fer
tile with the application of water,
we are entitled to recognition, and
we will get it, but while we are
waiting we should not lose sight of
the fact that we must work for it.

now attained, that of one of the
prominent breeders of the country,
is commendable. Mr.. Minor at
the State Fair carried off the sill
yer cup for the best Shorthorn on
exhibition. He now has the largest
herd of Shorthorns on the Pacific
coast. At the auction sales at the
State Fair, he sold 10 head which
averaged $126 per head.

tenor voice and simply captivated the
audience and each time responded to an
encore, and seems to have the right idea
of what an encore should be.
Prof. Kantner's instrumental work
was rare treat for those who appreciate
nigh grade music and proved himself to
be an artist on the piano. His improvis-
ing from theme given by Miss Reid
was something wonderful.
Emmer Newby, the second basso,
was only heard in solo work in connec-
ton with the quartette, but it was plain.
ly seen that he had rich, melodiou 9
voice.
Eugene Knox, who took the obligato
work in several quartettes, proved to the
audience that he had voice which
was especially good. His strong work.
however, comes out in his imperson
atoms. He acts the part Of the German,
Frenchman, and, in fact, any nationality
to perfection, and it is something
wonderful how he disguised himself 80
completely by his facial expressions.
His imitation of "chappy" seemed true
to life.
The quartet was a very strong one
and several numbers they sang showed
much training. Take for instance the
picking of the banjo, while Mr.. Newby
sang bass solo. There was not dis
cord and it was 80 natural that if the
eyes had been closed, one could not
have detected the difference.
The Knox-Kantner Company were
welcome visitors and it is to be hoped
tlat they will visit us again, for to spend
an evening listening to such artists in
the musical line tends to elevate man.

Wood is growing more and more
scarce. The solution of the fuel
problem could readily be solved
by the building of 20.mile branch
from Heppner to Willow creek

right. A railroad from Heppner
to the Willow creek coal mines
would make cheap fuel, and this
generation need not worry about
the supply running out.

ing the bill of Indictment in its correct

Court arrested judgment on the plea of
the defendant that the words against her
will did not appear in the Indictment.
