oREeonIAnS IN MEXICO.
Letters From G. A. Nichols Who Re.
Gently Settled in the Republic.

Andrew Spence, of this city, this
week, received letter from his
nephew, G. A. Nichols, who went to
that place few weeks ago with sew
eral residents of Waitsburg and Walla
Walla, who are interested in 10000
acre sugar and coffee plantation, says
the Dayton Courier Press.
Mr.. Nichols reports that living in the
city of Mexico is very high. He has
to pay Sis a month (Mex.) rent and
furniture is very costly An article
that could be bought here for $40, there
costs 500 Mex. AT the time of writ
ing he said he was unable to learn any,
thing regarding the Jalisco enterprise.
He expects that the plantation the
company purchased for 100000 will
double in value in three years. The
company has just shipped six cars of
coffee to London, and they have 60
teams busily at work putting in sugar
cane.

SENATOR PAULY SAYS HE is
PLEASED WITH WORK OF
LEGISLATURE.
Under but II Was What He
Expected.

State Senator and Mrs. Fred M.
Pauly and Representative William
Rudio and family returned to Walla
Walla yesterday from Olympia. The
party stopped over a day in Portland
to visit the Lewis and Clark fair
grounds. Representative William H.
Weber returned to Walla Walla Sat
urday afternoon and Representative E.
r. Henderson is expected home to-
morrow.
Il return to Walla Walia we'll
pleased with the work of the last leg
islature," Senator Pauly said this
morning. With one or two exceptions
the Walla Walla delegation got every
thing they wanted. My bill giving in
corporated cities and municipalities
the right to regulate the price of gas
and electricity furnished by corporate
companies was showed under, but then
it was no more than 1 expected after
1 seen the opposition it stirred up when
the bill was introduced. Walla Walla
has been accorded a reduction in the
price of electricity SO it does not mat
ter much.
I'VE had a hard fight in getting the
bill through exempting the Stubble-
field home from a $4,000 inheritance
tax, and but for some of the west side
representatives we would have lost out,
as the bill only passed by two votes.
We explained that the Stubblefield
home was a state institution but it
was hard to make them believe that it
was not a bill directly benefiting
Walla Walla"
Senator Pauly stated that Governor
Mead has given no intimation who ne
will appoint on the state railway COM
mission. The hold-over senators
favor the appointment of ex-State
Senator Oliver T. COrnwell from the
east side and it may be that their
wishes will be respected.

-. RESERVOIR SITE HAS BEEN
-o,INp IN BUTTER CREEK
SECTION.
.r,nent Engineers Will Submit
plans for the Abandoned Project
Water From River.

1ohn T. Whistler, engineer in charge
Of the reclamation work in Oregon,
...,s that another site has been found
cor reservoir in which to store water
.o- watering the arid land tributary to
.,o southwest of this place. The new
Ito is several miles west of Tub
Strings. and is west of the site that
was formerly recommended for a res
or,,oir and was rejected by the board
,f consulting engineers on the ground
that it would not retain water, is the
story that comes from Pendleton.
From Investigations that have been
made it is thought that the subsoil
# the new location is such that it will
hold water. Supply would be taken
from, the Umatilla river while that
Otream is high, and will be stored and
used as needed. According to Mr..
whistler it should be possible to re-
claim from $4,000 to $4,000 acres by
this means. which is only about one
fourth of the arid land of that section.
The reclamation force has been at
work here all Winter under the direc-
tion of Mr.. Whistler, and has been get
ting its plans into shape to submit to
headquarters by the latter part of next
month. The plans will then be passed
upon by the board of consulting engi-
neers and accepted or rejected.
Another proposition that is to be
covered in the coming report is the
plan to take water from the John Day
river with which to irrigate the UNA
tilla- Morrow section. According to
this plan, water is to be taken from
the John Day at a point above the
mouth of Rock creek, carried across
Gillian county, and used upon the
waste lands southwest of this place.
1t is thought that more water can be
secured in this way than by any other
now proposed. However, the expense
of the project would be SO great that
it is doubtful if it will be undertaken

The Western Migration to Canada.

While for many years there has been
steady flow of people from eastern
Canada into the United States. and
particularly into New England. there
has been for the past few years con-
siderable movement of population from
the states of the Middle West into
western Canada. Many upper Missis-
siprt valley farmers, being able to sell
their lands at a high price. were lured
into the unsettled sections of Canada
where land was cheap and whence
came golden stories of the possibilities
OF grain raising. This emigration has
caused much discussion and some
alarm. but it appears that the rush is
now over. For the fiscal year ending
June 30. 1903, the total number of
American immigrants into Canada was

The Longest and Finest Highway.

ton of a continuous macadamlZed

Rochester. This road will be 44O miles
long and will be the longest and finest
highway in the country. The nearest
thing to it which the country has in the
good roads line is the famous Cumber-
land road or National Pike" begun by
the United States Government in 1906
and running westward from Cumber-
land, Md, through Wheeling and
Columbus to Vandalia in central ILL
nois. Although the continuous system
of turnpikes starting from Trenton and
ending at Steubenville, on the Ohio
River, crosses three states. it is but $50
miles long, or 10 miles shorter than
the highway which is to be constructed
under the authority and with the funds
of the State of New York.
1t will not be such great task to
construct this 44O mile highway across
the Empire state as might be imagined,
for a large part of it is already begun

Albany to Syracuse and beyond, and
many miles have been completed. 1t
