CONTRACTORS TURNED DOWN
Government Will Do Work on second
Schedule of Umatilla Project.


The board of consulting engineers
which recently convened in Portland
to open bids for the construction of
the main canal and laterals of the
distributing system of the Umatilla
project received several proposals,
which were transmitted to the de
partment at Washington.
The work is divided into two
schedules, and the secretary Of the
interior has awarded the contract for
schedule No. 1, consisting of about 10
miles Of the main and Lateral bitches
to Thomas Jaques of Pilot Rock,
whose bid was $20,212.50. All bids
on schedule No. 2, which consists OF
26 miles of main canal and laterals,
rejected on the ground that they were
unreasonably high. The secretary of
the interior authorized the reolama-
tion service to prosecute the work by
force account. Horses for the work
will be shipped from the klamath
project. in the southern part of Ore
gon, as their use at latter place is not
needed during the winter.

Sale Of Wallowa Cattle.

Judge and Mrs. Peter O'Sullivan
returned Saturday from visit to
their former home in Wallowa coun-
ty. The judge brings the report that
times are lively in all parts of the
Wallowa country. One of the con-
tIibuting causes is the increase in
cattle prices. Representatives of the
Pacific Meat company are making ex-
tensive purchases and there are also
buyers from the Walla Walla section
who are looking for feeders. The
prices range about as follows: Cows.
$21 and $23; year old steers, $34
and $50. Unlike the practices hereto
fore, buyers are not SO particular
about culls, but will accept round
lot at straight figures, although a few
in the bunch may not be up to the
standard. Wallowa county has an
abundance of hay, and consequently
the stockmen are in position to feed
and are not compelled to sell. How
ever, outside demand and competition
among buyers are the principal causes
for the recent advance in prices. LA

Boosts Big Hotel.

The project of erecting a modern
hotel, commemorate with the needs Of
Walla Walla for the future, is being
discussed by business men. The pres
ent hotel facilities have been made
quate for years while the growth Of
the city has been continuous and rap
i'd. The sentiment among business
men is such that liberal amount Of
stock would be taken in the project il
promoted by the proper person, one
who would inspire confidence in the
stability of the enterprise. There are
still number of sites conveniently
located in the business center of the
city available at the present time, but
they are rapidly being occupied as the
business district COD tinues to expand.
Two large department stores will
adorn prominent corners on East Alder
street in the business heart of the city
before the end of another year and
other business blocks are in contem.
plation.

RAISED FAIRLY GOOD CROPS
Franklin County by no Means suf-
fers From a Failure.

W. P. Read is at Weston from the
Ryegrass district in Franklin county
on weeks visit to old friends and
scenes, says the Leader. He says that
Franklin county's harvest was quite
satisfactory this year, reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding. The yield
would have been enormous had it not
been for few days of hot weather in
July. which spoiled a beautiful pros
pect.
Nevertheless franklin county has
produced lots of No. wheat this
year, and the report that the Gro y is
extremely light and off grade is wholly
without foundation. Spring grain
only falls below the test requirements.
Some Of the yields in Ryegrass
district were as follows:
Fl. W. Moulton, % bushels per acre
from 800 acres, wheat testing 81
pounds.
Ed johnson. 20 bushels per acre
from the G. E. Flock quarter, wheat
testing 81 pounds.
Cliff Overturf, about 15 bushels
per acre from $50 acres.
w. P. Read, II bushels per acre
from 125 acres.'
It is reported that the Dumhellers
are getting eight to ten sacks per acre
from about 1000 acres, aud that the
Reser crop from about 1900 acres will
average 15 bushels per acre of spring
sown grain. William Walker had a
half section of fall wheat that made
25 BUSHES per acre of No. l grain,
Mr.. Read cites these figures to show
that Franklin county's crop is far
from being failure. The county is
fast forging to the front, and in the
course of few years large fortunes
will be made by bonanza farmers.

FREE SHOW TO C0Nv|cTs
Company Playing at Walla Walla
Visits Penitentiary

Probably one of the most unique
and novel things in the amusement
line occurred at the Walla Walla pen
itentiary last Friday night when the
entire company playing at the New
Orpheum theatre gave two complete
performances in the large, dining room
of the prison. A few minutes before
s o'clock nearly. 500 convicts filed into
the room in the regular lock step
form, and at given signal all were
seated and the performance proceeded.
1t was revelation to many of the
convicts, some of whom have not seen
free day since the invention of the
moving picture feature, one being
shown at this performance.
Manager Lecitt made few intro
ductory remarks in which he thanked
the warden for the privilege of casting
a ray of sunlight across the gloomy
paths of the unfortunates. At the
close of each performance ex-Captain
Charles B. Woods, formerly an officer
at the institution, but now assistant
manager of the Orpheum theatre,
| made few remarks, in which,
among other things, he said that If
the convicts would bear their lot
patiently, obey orders and pay strict
attention to the rules, he felt sure that
the warden would grant them every
privilege consistent with the discipline
of the institution. The members of
the company contributed their serv-
ices on this occasion.

KING BROTHERS LOSE LAND
Lease Had Not Passed Through Hands
Of Major Edwards.

King Brothers, who some time ago
leased body of wheat land on the
reservation from James Briton, have
lost their holdings through notice
from the Indian agent Major Edwards,
to vacate the land.
The Kings had formal lease from
Mr.. Britton and neglected to have it
varified at the agency. Edwards,
who it appears, had set a date for
looking into leases of this nature. and
the lease not being presented on that
day, served notice on the renters to
vacate within ten days. The boys
vacated. Their loss is $3.50 cash paid
to Britton, for in his present condition
it is considered unlikely that he is in
position to refund the payment In
addition to this amount Of money, the
Kings have put in a considerable
amount of work on the place.

Umatilla Indian Agent to
Get Off Easy
HUNDRED DOLLARS AND COSTS
He Clashed With Yakima Officers
While Looking for Indian
Children.

Word was received by Prosecuting
Attorney Krutz Of North Yakima Sat
urday night from the Office of the dis
trict attorney of Oregon that plea of
guilty would be entered in the case
against Major Edwards, agent of the
Umatilla reservation, charged with
threatening to handcuf a deputy
sheriff of Yakima county. The Ore
gon attorney requested that fine be
assessed and that the amount would
be remitted. This will oe done by
Judge Taggard. 1t is believed that
She fine will be $1O0, aud the costs
will amount to approximately the
same sum.
Last month Edwards went to Yaki-
main quest Of Indian children who
were in the hopyards. He became in
volved in controversy with local
authorities, and threatened TO place
one of the deputy sheriffs III irons, de-
claring that bis power was supreme,
extending over all parts of the United
States. He was arrested and has been
out on 500 bonds.
The following in regard to the Ed
wards case is from the North Yakima
Republican,: Agent Edwards, of the
Umatilla Indian reservation. plead
guilty this morning to the charge of
attempting to provoke an assault on
W. g. Dodds, and was fined $25 and
costs by Justice j. A. Taggard. Ed
wards did not appear in court. He
telephoned that he would plead guilty,
which answered the purpose. The
costs in the case amounted to $101.90
There has been deposited here with the
court 800 cash bond. This money
has been used to defray the exenses of
the case but there is still $26. 90 due.
How will get the balance of the
money!" asked the court. "Get it the
best way you can," was the reply.
Probably you had better present a
billet doux to Mr.. Edward. /"
Thus was the matter closed.

MOUNTAIN APPLES
Hood River Sets Charley Bar
rett to Thinking
He MAY PLANT AN ORCHARD
Has Ideal Land on Wild Horse Noun
tain and Believes Good Apples
Can Be Raised There,

Representative @. A. Barrett, who
was delegate to the irrigation con-
vention at Hood River last week re.
ports the session productive of much
good in all that affects the irrigation
problem.
"The fruit fair," said Mr.. Barrett,
"that is being held at Hood River is
revelation. Most of the fruit dis
played consists of apples, peaches and
pears. With their apples the Hood
River people have surprised the world
this season. For their best varieties
they have been getting from 1926 to
So. 10 per box and all of the fruit has
been contracted for in New York. As
result of these prices the apple
growers have been making small for
tunes this season.
"Much of the success of the Hood
River fruit is due to the care that is
taken of the orchards. There are no
wormy apples to be seen, and the
fruit on the trees looks like it had
been polished.
Contrary to the expectation of Mr..
Barrett, who had never before been at
Hood River, except to pass through on
the train, he found the world famous
fruit district located on the highland
back from the town and not along the
river, as he supposed.
The wonderful producing qualities
of the mountain soil at Hood River
where raw, uncleared land is selling
for $500 per acre, set Mr.. Barrett to
thinking of the possibilities the future
has in store for the mountain district
east of town in fruit raising.
On the head of Wild Horse, Mr..
Barrett has body of mountain land,
and it is possible that he may plant
an orchard there He believes that
with proper cultivation and attention,
together with setting out apple trees
which will bear varieties of fruit that
tie markets demand, the industry
i would prove to be a success in the
! mountain district.
At the present time, with no atten-
! tion given mountain orchards in tnt
/, matter of pruning, cultivation, or par
tioular attention paid to selection Of
| variety, there are many good apples
raised there. Therefore. it is logica
to suppose that with proper attention
and care, the productioneof apples il
that locality would be successful.

CALLS THE LEGISLATURE
Pendleton Plans for an Informal
Meeting.

For the purpose of interesting men,
bers of the Legislature in legislation
desired by this section, movement is
on foot to have an informal meeting
of that body in Pendleton some time
next onth. The idea has been sug-
gested by the Umatilla- Morrow county
delegation in the legislature and it is
the plan to have the invitations issued
by that delegation and the Pendleton
commercial association. 1t is believ
ed that at least large portion of the
Legislators elect would attend such a
meeting.
OF the measures desired by the peo-
pie of this section the establishment
of jute mill and sack factory at the
penitentiary is perhaps the most i'm
portant. During the past summer
the graingrowers of this county have
been olamoring for such mill in the
hope that it would reduce the price
of grain bags. Also the state wool
growers association at its last annual
meeting passed resolution asking for
the establishment Of plant at the
penitentiary.
While the meeting is on the MEM
bers of the legislature will be taken
in body to Walla Walla to visit the
plant in operation there.
The Weston normal school will also
be the subject of some Legislation at
the coming session of the legislature,
and it is the wish of the school people
to have the members visit the school
in person before passing upon the
measures presented. Since the school
reopened in September, after having
.been closed for year, the attendance
has been larger than ever in the past.

California Grape Industry.

California has 100000 acres in
