Mr.. Editor
Dear Sir-In order to acquaint
the public with the improvements
on the Gold Fork, will kindly ask
you, if space permits, to print the
blowing:
The irrigation problem of Long
valley is now as good as solved.
The solution is picks, shovels, ham,
mers, and various other instruments
Of torture. The dam across Gold
Fork which had long been declared
failure by number of dam ex-
Rrlence men is practically COM
peted. The waters rose and fell,
still the dam is there like the Rock
Of Ages. Dame Nature says:
With the aid of the Gold Fork
canal, Garden Flat will develop
INTO the most beautiful as we'll as
one OF the most prosperous sections
Of country in Idaho.

"After being in'the field two

survey from here to Abilene was
only to connect with the route

NINTH VOLUME.

With this issue, The News,
formerly known as 1.-THE Stay
err, starts out upon its ninth
year of Service as a newspaper
on the Plains. Seven years of
this period has been put in at its
present home, Canyon City, and
two of these under its present
management.
Since coming into possession
of the property, some two years
ago, the present owner has con-
tinually added to its capacity
in the way of new material un-
til today there are but two
Offices on the Plains that sur
pass The Canyon City News in
this particular-our progressive
and much appreciated neighbor,
The Herald, at Amarillo, and
our no less valued and esteemed
contemporary at Hereford-The
Brand.
Equipped as the Office now is,
with new presses of the very
best sort made ard ample engine
power to run them upon modern
plans, with mailing apparatus,
new type faces, both AID and Job,
and many other things too num-
erous to detail here, The News
can come up with the best of
them and proposes to do it.
The fact is, The News, having
faith in the future of Canyon
City, has done expanded to meet
the increased demands that it
feels are sure to be made upon
it in the Job as well as the news
paper line.
For the present, The News
will retain its regular size, a
five column folio, but as bust
ness increases we expect to en-.
large it-increasing the number
of pages as occasion may de-
mand.
The policy of The News will
not be changed in any particular
it will strictly adhere to the
plan laid down when from 1.-THE
Slayer" it became The Canyon
City News.

of the state can derive little bene-

parts of the commonwealth.

the part of our near western Majors

ton will be appreciated by all who
have the good fortune to reside

this is not enough, those concern

not only to approve, but cooperate
with this committee in securing the
essential thing asked for-an agri-

We have a grand country all
right and in time this fact will be
known of all men, but we can
reach the "persimmon' much
quicker provided we get the aid of
the State in this particular-we are
entitled to it and all we have to do
is to go after it strong enough to
land it.
While the NEWS is not authoriz-
ed to speak tor the farmers of Ran
dali county it feels sure that they
will join heartily in s~econding the
efforts, being made in that direc-
ton.

Only $4,000 of the $4,000 Remains to
Be Raised.

walla Walla, July 12.-Robert
Carey, for four years secretary of the
Everett Y. NJ. C. A, arrived here yes
terday from Seattle to take the place
of State Secretary Wilcox. who will
leave tomorrow for Seattle. Mr.. Ca
rey is a graduate of the Willamette
University of the class of 1898, and
he, with his wife, were classmates of
County Clerk Dorsey NJ. Hill, of this
city. Afterward he served as secre-
tary of the Y. NJ. c. A. in Tacoma and
Seattle before going to Everett.
Mr.. Carey will take up the work as
left off by Secretary Wilcox and raise
the remainder of the money required.
Only $4,000 remains of the $4,000,
the minimum required to assure the
building and $4,000 of the maxi
mum asked for to furnish and COM
plete the building properly. This will
be forthcoming soon after the harvest
assures the farmers that they can we'll
afford to donate goodly sums to such
good cause without Inconvenience.
Mr.. Wilcox will do state work in
the field for some time and then go to
North Yakima this fall and institute a
campaign for raising building funds
the same as in this city.

At the monthly meeting of the Com
mercial association held last evening
plans for the changing of the club
rooms and for the fitting of the gym
nasium were discussed and routine
business transacted.
Under the plan made by the archi-
tects and which was shown at the
meeting last evening, the library is to
be kept in its present location. but en-
larged by taking in another window
and being also widened. Then the bill
lard room is to be extended to the
rear.
However. exception was taken to
this scheme by c. e. Roosevelt. a
member of the house committee, who
outlined a different one. His plan
was to close the Main street entrance
to the club entirely. using the Court
street stairway. At the top of the
latter he would place the librarians s
office, with cloak rooms. etc. The IL
brary would then be placed adjoining
this and the billiard and card rooms
left as at present with slight changes.
Mr.. Roosevelt upheld this plan on the
ground that locating the library in
that manner would be a convenience
to ladies.
However, others were of the opinion
that the proposed change would not
do because it would take the librarian
away from the card room and also
they held that the card room would
still be used as reading room by the
members regardless of the change,
that room being much more desirable
for that purpose than the one in the
rear. On motion, the architects were
directed to prepare another set OF
plans according to Mr.. Roosevelt's
idea and they will be submitted to the
association at the next meeting.
Thirteen applications for member
ship in the association were read and
on motion all were elected. Besides
those mentioned in this paper last
evening these names are as follows:
F. X. Schempp. Thomas Means and
Byron Hawkes..
Bills for the past month were read
and ordered paid, Charles Marsh be-
ing appointed a member of the audit
ing committee to take the place of II
E. Bickers.
The report of Treasurer Mark Moor
house was read and showed the sum
of $S07 to be on hand. On motion
5000 was ordered changed from the
card and billiard funds to the general
fund so as to be available for paying
out.
The association was then addressed
by George Hartman, Jr., chairman OF
the gymnasium committee and asked
If 1t would advance some of its funds
to aid in fitting out the gymnasium
the money to be repaid the association
later on by the gymnasium people. In
reply President Borie stated that the
association had sufficient money for
the purpose and unless objections
we're made a loan would be made as
desired. 1t is estimated that It will
require $500 to properly equip the
gymnasium and of this amount there
is now $3.50 in the gymnasium fund
It having been derived from the local
talent entertainment last spring.

be dangerous to the safety of the

the men who desire to enter the COM

When this company is organized
there will be eight volunteer hose
companies in the Pendleton fire de.

house hill has been under the jurisdic-
ton of Hose company No. 8, which
is situated on Bluff street, and the

for the agitation for a separate hose
