The successful candidates are: For
Mayor, Dr.. Henry w. McComas; for
Councilmen, Messrs. Harmed, Helbig
and Maroney.
Immediately following the announce
ment of the result by the chairman Of
the convention, Mr. D. NJ. Dixon, the
defeated candidate for Mayor, arose and
moved that the nomination of DR.. Nc
Comas be made unanimous, calling upon
all his friends to heartily support the
ticket named. This was a magnanimous
act on the part Of Mr.. Dixon and he
was heartily applauded and received the
congratulations Of almost the entire as
semblage for the stand taken by him.
Messrs. Harmed and Helbig thanked
the convention for the fattering vote
received by them, Mr.. Maroney having
left the hall prior to the announcement
of the vote but he instructepus to state
that he. feels grateful to all who sup
ported him and asks for the united sup
port Of the party at the polls.
The denomination of Mayor McComas
and Councilmen Harmed and Helbig by
such fattering vote is the strongest
endorsement these gentlemen can re-
ceive for the past administration of
municipal affairs. The Council has
met with and overcome many obstacles
during the past two years and as APP
pears by the statement published else
where in this paper today the assest of
the town overbalances its liabilities by
nearly thousand dollars, with many
internal improvements to show for the
expenditure of the peoples money.
The election will be held at the Coun-
Gil chamber Monday and it is confident
ly predicted by not only the Republicans
but by many Democrats as well, that
the ticket nominated Tuesday night
will be triumphantly elected.

by the opposing candidates for Mayor.
Messrs. McComas and Dixon, wherein

that a large crowd would be present
was fulfilled as more than two hundred
persons were present, probably third
of the number being Democrats.
The contest was between DR.. Henry
W. McComas, the retiring Mayor, and
Mr.. D. M. Dixon, who aspired to the
position, both of the gentlemen named
making spirited though friendly con-
tests among the people for few days
prior to the convention, which resulted
in bringing out in full force the sup
porters of both.
The meeting was called to order bv

county committee. Mr.. Fred. A. Thav-

STATE HOUSE, ANNAPOLIS, March
7th, 1906. The Baltimore and Ohio in
vestigating committee held long exc
cutive session late Friday afternoon, in
which the chairman and secretary were
empowered to select an auditor, the
choice having narrowed down to the
Hashins and Sells Company and The
American Auditing Company, both Of
New York Because Of the formers
known close connection with number
of the largest railway corporations in
the country the practically unanimous
choice OF the committee was for The
American Audit Company, which it is
understood viii be employed immediate
ly.
Prior to the executive session the
question of calling General Baughman
and Senator German, State Directors in
the B. & o., for conference, was in
formally discussed, but because of the
ill-health of both gentlemen at the pres
ent time it was finally decided best to
write each letter askingfor suggestions
as to the course to be pursued, and
questions which the committee should
ask. AN order to this effect was adopt
ed without a dissenting vote.
1t may now be stated almost with GER
tainty and previous views on the sub
ject to the contrary that the committee
will push this investigation to the full
extent of its ability. The members are
very thoroughly in earnest, and are
getting into business shape with the
greatest possible rapidity. 1t will be
thorough and in all probability entirely
satisfactory. There is little likelihood
that its work will be half accomplished
by March 18th, but still less.likelihood
that there will be any material objec-
ton to its continuing its work for as
long a time after that date and into the
next two years as its members may sug-
gest, The matter will either take that
form or, less probably, will be entrust-
en- to the lawyers for the same purpose.
At Thursday nights session of the
Senate an order was introduced, look
ing to the immediate pressing of the
pending suit against the Baltimore and
Ohio corporation, so that the fight pre-
dicted in these letters, is along two
lines: the suits are being pressed while
the inquiry goes on.
The Democratic organization Of Mary
land, during the past two weeks or
twenty days has been changing front,
the change has been sudden and yet
gradual it has been so gradual that not
one of the great papers of Maryland
has yet made note of the fact, it has
been so sudden that in the short time
mentioned it has been complete, it is a
change of 1900. The leaders of the
Democratic party in this State and the
heads of the organization have seen the
handwriting on the wall, and are prov
that they have not outlived their quail
fications for leadership, they have recsg-
nized the signs of change, ever appar-
ent, and have given over their old tao
tics with the passing of the old regime.
1t may be stated without qualifying
clause that the Democratic organization
is heart and soul with the people of
Maryland in the great fight which is

THE EAST UMATILLA
IRRIGATION PROJECT,
HERMIST0N AND UMATILLA.

The East Umatilla irrigation project
is located in the northwest corner of
umatila county and comprises about
10000 acres, which will oe reclaimed
under an immense reservoir and canal
system, both of which are now in
course Of construction.
The reclamation department located
the East tmatilla project in 1905 and
appropriated $l,lO0,OOO for its con-
struction.
a site for large reservoir was
Seiected on high point overlooking
a beautiful tract of sandy arid land
Of about 10000 acres in extent
Hermiston is official headquarters
for the East Umatilla project. although
this project is easily reached from
Pendleton, Echo and Umatilla.
The canal system and reservoir will
be completed during the year 1907,
and 1t is now thought by the govern
ment that the land under the project
VIII be ready for crops in 1908.
However, 1t will not be open for entry
until water is placed upon every part
of it.
To acquire title to land under this,
as under all other government irriga-
ton projects, one must have a home
stead right and enter land under the
homestead act Continuous residence
must be made upon the land. and the
cost. which under this project win be
~ Ia H.,
nual installments, without interest A
perpetual water right goes with every
homestead
Homesteads under the East Umatilla
project viii be limited to 40 acres
which will be sufficient in this excel,
lent climate to support a large family
and make handsome profit beside
The soil under this project is a warm,
sandy loan, susceptible of high culti-
walton and very productive under ir-
rigation.
The tract lies between the main line
of the o. R. & n. and the Washing
ton division of that system. on the
low-lying. sandy slopes in the north
west corner Of UmatilTa county. and
is about Is miles distant from Pendle-
ton, the county seat of the county
which will always be the distributing
point for the settlements to be made
upon this project.
Hermiston is now a live point. with
a number of growing business enter
prises and promises to be beautiful
town when once the irrigation of the
surrounding country is effected. Aside
from the government tract which is
tributary to Hermiston and Umatilla,
a number of private irrigation COM
panies having excellent land and eX-
tensive ditch systems. are also tribu-
tary, and offer excellent inducements
to the homeseeker.
The country around Hermiston and
Umatilla will support a dense popula-
ton because of the intensive system
of farming encouraged by irrigation.
Already hundreds of homeseekers are
looking over those districts and before
the government project is ready for
the settler, there will be a large set
tlement on the private projects of that
vicinity.
The official headquarters of Engi-
neer John T. Whistler, in charge of
the government project, are at Her
miston.

During the month Of Novem-

OF this amount the East Ore
