AN IMPORTANT MEETING IN PORTLAND
Dr.. N. G. BIaIock of the Open River
Committee Tells Of Results Of
Meeting.

From the conference held yesterday
between the Open River committee and
mittee and Manager Calvin of the Ore
gon Railroad company it seems that
the latter will not place any obstruc-
tions in the way of the construction
of the portage railway by the state of
Oregon around the rapids at The
Dalles.
The meeting was held yesterday in
the law Office of Joseph Teal. counsel
for the committees. At this meeting
Mr.. Calvin was present and talked
very pleasantly with the representa-
tives Of the people who want an open
river. DR.. n. G. Blalock returned this
morning and said to reporter con-
corning the meeting:
The o. r. & n. people talked very
nicely to us and Mr.. Calvin agreed to
meet us half way. While he. of
course. does not like to have the port
age road constructed, the company
will not put any obstruction in our
way. The ultimate results are going
to be all right"
The contracts were not signed yes
terday between the committee and the
Oregon board of control because there
are still some little details of loca ton.
etc. to be arranged before this can be
done, as the state portage board of
control will not be willing to turn
everything over until all details have
been settled. The construction force
is ready to go to work at once" said
DR.. BlaIock. and when the work be-
gins it will be pushed as rapidly as
men and money can push it. We are
doing everything in our power to COM
plete the work. I think that now
everything is in favorable shape"
The contracts will be signed next
week sometime, probably on Tuesday,
after that everything will be rushed

sional men. farmers and others inter-
ested in the irrigation of arid and
semi-arid lands under the United
States reclamation act are being in
vited to attend a convention at SpO-
kane some time this month for the pur-
pose of arousing the interest of the
Inland Empire to the Importance of
the work mapped out by the govern
ment The Spokane Chamber of Com
merce has taken the initiative in the
matter and has appointed a special
irrigation committee, which has pre-
pared a special circular letter to be
sent out to every person and COM
mercial body in eastern Washington
Interested in irrigation.
Under the United States reclama-
ton act, fund of $27 000 900 has been
set aside to be used in the irrigation
of arid and sem-arid lands in certain
western states and territories. WASH
ington. Oregon and Idaho are named as
beneficiaries under the law. 1t is
made the duty of the secretary of the
nteriar. as far as practicable. to give
each state and territory named, the
benefit of the major portion of the
funds arising from the sale of public
lands in that state or territory. The
fund already set aside for purposes of
irrigation. will increase each year so
long as there are sales of public lands
being made in these states The sec
rotary of the interior may temporarily
use the funds available for any one of
the irrigable states. for the benefit of
another. if he deems it advisabl to do
so. The use of this money and the
services of the United States engi-
neers. will not be forced upon a fogy
sleepy or -enterprising state,
when there are other states and terri
tories ready, willing and energetically
reaching out for this generous assist
ance.
There are two or three undertakings
now under consideration by the re-
clamatiOn bureau, which will call for
an expenditure of some millions of
money in these three states. Anything
that benefits any portion of this great
state or the surrounding country will
materially benefit every taxpayer
The convention will be addressed by
various speakers from all over the
country, particularly by Mr.. Maxwell
of the National Irrigation association,
who is perhaps the best informed gen.
tleman on these subjects in the coun-
try. At this meeting the reclamation
act will be the subject of study and
discussion and it is expected to have
speakers to demonstrate the merits of
irrigation in this region.

of interior decorations and of finish
ings new to this part of the world.
Seven rooms have been fitted up
on the southern side of the building,
in which the different mantels, with
tiles and furniture, are placed, with
just such material as harmonizes and
as are recommended for the best class
of homes, by competent architects.
The first of these rooms is provided
with white mantel finished in ivory
The side room is finished in nile green
from mahogany. The next room is
finished in terra Gotta, and is used as
reception room. The next has a
display in oak the next is a display
IN buff, with a side aisle for cheaper
grades of mantels.
The entrance shows an artistic dis
play of the latest designs of interior
wall decorations. The store is rear
ranged throughout and presents an
attractive appearance, and all who
visit it are pleased at its modern
methods.

"Better Be Sure Than Sorry"

Twenty years is the usual term for
which life policies are issued, and
when you make a contract for that
length of time would it not be wise
to go about It carefully? Do not be-
heve all you hear, but see for your
self if it is nominated in the bond"
First, ascertain if the dividends are
to be paid you annually or at the end
of some period; if the latter, shun it,
or you will regret it. Would you buy
bank stock if you were compelled to
wait twenty years for your dividends
1t should be optional with you to take
your dividends each year to reduce
your premium payments, or, if you
prefer to have them accumulate, you
should be credited with the amount
of insurance purchased by these dtVi
dends; at the same time you should
have the right to convert your diVi-
dend accumulations into cash when
ever you deem it necessary. Second,
see that your policy provides for a
cash as well as paid-up surrender
value for every year after the second.
Third, read your policy carefully and
note if you will receive your dividend
accumulations with your cash surren-
der value in event you desire to drop
your policy. These features are all
combined in the policy contract of the

MINISTER CALLED ON
POLICE FOR HELP.
But Young Men who Disturbed
Slumbers Only Wanted to Wed.

Slumbers Only Wanted to Wed.
Rev. j. A. Smith, assistant pastor of
Trinity Methodist Church, called in
the police at 1 o'clock in the morning,
several days ago, when a young man
presented himself at his residence and
requested an interview.
The visit was paid at about l a. m
and Mr.. Smith had serious doubts as
to the intentions of his late caller.
There was a strenuous tug on the min
listers door bell, and he awoke with a
start. He went to the window and ask
ed what was wanted.
Il want to see you," said the man at
the door.
We'll, what do you want" asked the
minister.
Il have business with you"
We'll, what is your business?"
We'll, you come down and open the
door, and I'll tell you"
This was one too many for the min
lister. He didn't go down. The young
man, however, thought he was dressing
and waited. Mr.. Smith was, in the
meantime, holding a conversation with
Desk Sergeant Baughn at police head
quarters. The minister said there was
a man on his front stoop and that he
desired patrolman in a hurry.
In a remarkably short time the
preacher heard the hoof beats Of a
horse and knew that a uniformed man
would be on the scene in a minute
Feeling perfectly secure he went down
stairs and opened the door just as
Mounted Patrolman McQuade dis
mounted.
What do you want with me-" ask
ed Mr.. Smith
Il want to get married" was the
response. I've been hunting for a
preacher for three hours. Me and my
girl came up from Tybee at 10 o'clock
and 1 went for DR.. Jordan. He was
Deventer. But he was gone, too, and
I've been chasing the town over look
ing for a minister"
why he looks like a good young
man and I'm sure there amt anything
wrong with him." suggested Patrolman
McQuade. in a fatherly tone.
Il am a good young man. amt any
criminal said the prospective groom
who also appeared badly frightened.
Patrolman McQuade seemed to real
ize the situation and left the minister
and young man to arrange matters.
Mr.. Smith assured himself that
things were like they seemed and ac-
companied the young man to a board
ing house on West Broad street. where
the matrimonial knot was securely
tied at 2 a. M The bride was waiting
on her intended and had been sitting
in the boarding house parlor for near
ly four hours She was certain her
sweetheart would finally find a minis
ter and did not seem at all restless
when Mr.. Smith arrived and announced
he would make them man and wife.
