Eastern Oregon Lands Nay yer
Be Irrigated

Washington, July 26.-It now APP
pears that the Malheur irrigation prop
ect In Eastern Oregon will become
reality, and not have to be abandoned,
as was feared. Adyices were received
by Chief Engineer Newell, of the re-
clamation service, today to the eHect
that the farmers living along Maiheur
river have aroused themselves and IN
tend to submit to the government
their written promise to cooperate
with the government In constructing
this irrigation work. Mr. Neweifs CRIT
icism OF these farmers, expressed
through these dispatches short time
ago, and his threat TO remove his en-
gineers from Malheur country unless
the farmers acted on his suggestion,
has had the desired effect, and the 10
cal engineers are now convinced that
before long the farmers along the NAL
heeur river will comply with the gov
ernments requirements. II farnef
cooperate. they will have to pay Dut
| So per acre per year for 40 years, 10
order to get water from the govern
ment reservoirs onto their lands, ano
at the end OF that time the entire works
will be turned over to the users OF
| the water. The government Will mere
lly retain control of the work OF con
struction until the cost has been re
paid by settlers who are benefltted.
Work along the Malheur river ls II
such shape that as soon as the Iarm
ers owning lands within the proposed
irrigation area pledge themselves I
pay the required amount, the govern
lment will be ready to make nnal SUI
veys and plans preparatory to lettin
contracts. In the eyes of the engiI
| GERS this project is no longer ques
tionable, but one that promises CON
lplete success.
1t remains with the farmers to sa
when work shall commence. 1t Is e.
planned In this connection that tn
government will not accept partli
, promise Of cooperation. or promise
e from only part of the farmers withl
the irrigation district. Every ma
who will be benefited by this wor
must pledge himself to contribute n
n share of the cost before the goyerl
h ment will adopt the project.

HAVE TO GIVE LONG CREDIT.
Dressmakers Who Succeed Must Not
Be Pressing About Their Bills

Dressmakers Who Succeed Must Not
Be Pressing About Their Bills.
a recent lawsuit in the courts be-
tween the president and vice president
OF a smart dressmaking blishment
has called attention to a peculiar phase
of the dressmaking trade-the system
OF long credits, entailing a large out.
lay of capital.
Successful concerns have found that
''long credit is not only desirab BILE. but
essential to the financial prosperity Of
their business. While many in the
dressmaking business have no hest
fancy In admitting their profit to be
100 per cent they show conclus1vely
that their expenses are so enormous
that this 100 per cent diminishing IA
80 per cent and sometimes 25 per cent.
A woman at the head of one of the
smart establishments says:
"The wives Of our multimilHonaires
know absolutely nothing Of the value
of money and never realize that the
modiste who gowns them may need
the money they owe to pay her own
bills with. Were she to present this
fact to them she would doubtless lose
their custom and that of her set. The
fat would go forth: DO not go to SO
and Sos. They can't be any good and
can't have much Of trade, for they
are always dunning for their money
'You needed their money; you tha-e-
fore could not make a smart gown,
and they would go to some rival estab-
lishment, where they would be well
coined with open arms, and because
they had left the first modiste the Sec
ond would only too gladly give them
unlimited credit. This is one Of the
reasons why long credit and good
names are essential assets Of s1c-
cessful dressmaking business"

Short Suggestions.

An almost invisible cement for mend
ing glass is made Of isinglass boiled in
spirits Of wine.
To remove tar stains, rub the marks
with lard and then leave for a few
hours, that the tar may soften; spOng-
ing with spirits of Curpentine will then
remove the stain.
When lighting a gas stove it will
often give a slight explosion and light
incorrectly, thus giving no heat Turn
the gas off very quickly and allow the
air to escape. It will then light prop
erly without any further trouble.
Use a polishing iron with a rounded
surface faced with steel. Iron each
collar till quite dry; lay on board COW
cred with one thickness of calico only,
rub quickly over with a clean rag
squeezed out Of cold water and iron
with the polishing iron, pressing hard.
The iron should be moderately warm.
Meat bones, scraps of meat and
small portions of leftover vegetab les
can be utilized in Il soup by cooking
them slowly until the meat and veg
etables are soft, then straining through
a fine colander. Set this soup away
over night and in the morning remove
the fat and strain again; then add sea-
soning and use as stock for any de-
sired soup.

though not in the main line Of cross

doubt that they have frequently
proved fatal to vessels. There are sew

the opening Of the Model Fairgrounds
the other day. There she saw dainty
little carriages, upholstered in blue
silk, with tiny white Blankets and coun-
terpanes with lace edges. Skyblue took
her own little Chez to the baby's party,
strapped in the leather and bark
papoose frame, to her back. Chez wae
content and very happy. Her big
bright, dark eyes took in the pretty
scene with an apparently perfect IN
Outstanding of metropolitan social

But Skyblue did not have a happy
moment after she saw the little go
carts and was told to what use they
were put. She resolved then and there
that she would have one.
She is large, healthy woman, and
the excuse that she was not strong
enough to carry her papoose on her
back she knew would not carry weight
with the Indian officials. The only rea-
son she knew of that she should have
a new sort Of carriage was based on
her theory that nothing was too good
for little Chez
She was given to understand that
she would be permitted to purchase
one, but that she would not be al
lowed to use it while in st. Louis, for
the officials argued that such an limo
walton would spoil their exhibit.
This question of imitation among
the Indians is one of the most per-
s1stent that the Indian officials have
to contend with. Nearly every day

ry her papoose, Chez. If she cannot
get baby carriage she would accept

Johnny Cakes.

One cup Of Indian meal, pinch Of
salt, butter the size Of walnut; pour
over this enough boiling water to make
stiff batter, after being we'll stirred.
Set for three or four minutes in a dish
Of boiling water; then thin with sweet
milk until the batter drops easily from
the spoon. Put on a hot, buttered grid
die in spoonfuls, and when brown turn
them over and brown the other side.
This will make six good-sized cakes.
Water may be used in place of the
milk, but the cakes will not brown so
nicely in that case.
