Hermiston, Nov. 13.-To see vari-
Gus camps with several tents each for
miles along the o. r. & n. where men
are engaged at ditch work for the
east Umatilla project from below
Echo to Hermiston and beyond, gives
the traveller to know that there is
something doing in Umatilla county.
j. T. Whistler, state engineer for
the reclamation service, states that
work has begun on both the lower
end Of the feed canal and the distri-
button system. The contractors hav,
men at work on The feed canal be-
tweed Echo and Hermiston, and two
camps have been established at the
Cold Springs dam to begin work on
the distribution system. About 200
men and over 100 teams are now en-
ployed. Material and the plant have
all been ordered and it is now being
shipped for the Cold Springs dam
To Let Contracts.
Contracts for the distribution sys-
TEN will soon be let. Part of the
work will be done by the government
and part will be done by private con-
tract, giving it out in small lots so
that several of the contractors will
have a chance. The material which
has been in use for the klamath Falls
project is expected to arrive shortly,
as work will be suspended there for
the winter on account of the severe
weather in that section. Work will
be in progress on the Umatilla project
all winter.
Erect buildings.
Two hundred and fifty thousand
feet of lumber has just been ordered
for the building of temporary quar-
ters for the employees, such as shops,
mess houses, sleeping rooms, ETC.,
and work on the project will now be
pushed with all possible speed.
Echo and Hermiston and the sur
rounding country are already showing
great signs of improvement on ac-
count of this project, and the towns
will grow as the work goes on. PEN
dleton, the metropolis and the county
seal, will necessarily be benefited by
all that goes on in the way of i'm
provements, and when this water is
once on the land great harvests will
he reaped in all directions.

That the Sumpter forest reserve al
lotment meeting has been n very har-
monious one, and in a general way
satisfactory to all concerned, was de-
clared this morning by Dan p. Smythe,
secretary of the State Woolgrowers'
association. In company with his
father and Monte b. Gwinn, Secretary
Smythe returned from ,Sumpter last
night. The remaining sheepmen are
still there for the purpose of looking
after their various aTlotments.
At the Sumpter meeting A. F. Pot
ter, head of the grazing department
OF the forest reserve bureau. was the
chief official, and his actions are de-
clared by Mr.. 'Smythe to have been
fair and impartial.

No "BIoodshed."

Contrary to previous reports sent
out from Sumpter Mr.. Smythe says
that the contention between the sheep
and cattle growers was not serious,
and little antagonsm was aroused. At
the opening Of the convention the
eastern division of the Blue Noun
tains reserve was divided into six dis
tricts. Sheep and cattle committees
were then chosen for the various dis
tricts. and the matter of adjusting
lines was left to them for settlement.
In all but one district n satisfactory
understanding was reached. But In
district No. 5, which is ,5aaE Austin,
an agreement could not be reached
and the solution was left with Mr..
Potter. The sheepmen interested In
that district were Gillian county men
for the most part.
As to whether the range of each
district should be used by the sheep
men in common or allotted in several
ty was left to the district committees.
In most instances the allotment plan
was preferred, and the matter of
making the allotments was left with
the government officials,

while the sheepmen were assem-

ing special session of the state
Wo0Sgrowers' association was held.
The same was presided over by Pres
ident Burgess, and Secretary Smythe
explained the provisions of the scab
law that is being drafted for adoption
by the legislature. The main feature
of the measure is a requirement that
all sheep be dipped in the spring. 1t
is copied after the Idaho law, and is
intended TO so clean the state of scab
that the federal quarantine may be
removed.
Many new members were added to

According to Secretary Smythe the
cut in the number of sheep to be al
lowed on the reserve next spring will
not greatly cripple the business in this
county. While the number of sheep
run will he lessened, the market now
Is in such good state that no slump

GRAND JURY HAS ADJOURNED
After Shortest Session in History of

Sumter county, the grand jury complies

in county as large as Sumter.
L evidences the fact that crime IS
upon the decrease in Sumter. Only
one Indictment for murder was raturn-
ed, although there were numerous ILLS
for cffenses of less gravity
The grand jury looked diligently into
the affairs of the county and many very
importatant Communications, more
particularly as to county roads and
poor farm, are made. The present.
men's are quite lengthy, and will be
in full tomorrow morning,
The grand jury was then discharged,
with the thanks of the court,
It is altogether probable that court
will adjourn for the term before the
end of the week. Judge z. A. Little
j >hn will doubtless finish today with
criminal business, IN which event the
damage suit of Mattox versus the Sea-
board Railway may be taken up to-
morrow morning.
This case has been assigned for
Thursday, provided all criminal bust
ness is completed by then. It is an
important case, the defendant suing
for $4,000 for alleged personal injuries
while an employe of the COM
pAny at the Americas shops two years
ago.
Many misdemeanor caseo, gaming
etc, arising at this term will be trans
ferred to the city court, the next ses-
sion beginning early in July.

ANTIQUITY OF BEER.
This Beverage Was First Breyved b!
the ERNnfiana

This Beverage Was First Brewed by
the Egyptians.
Beer is of great antiquity. 1t was
manufactured first by the Egyptians
and afterward by the Greeks, Romans
and ancient Gauls. Beer was mention
ed by the following ancient writer's:
Tacitus, Pliny, Xenophon and others.
The Romans are supposed to have in
troduced the brewing of beer or ale, as
it was then called, to the Britons, at
the time of the latters conquest by the
former. The Britons continued the
brewing of barley malt, calling it ale,
until about 1924, when the Germans
introduced the brewing of hops with
the barley malt, calling it bier or, in
English, beer.
The history of the New England colo
MES shows that the Puritans were
great beer drinkers and that for long
time every innkeeper made his own
beer. In those years beer was the gen
eral and popular drink. In the colony
Of Massachusetts it's retail price was
fixed by law at a penny a quart. It's
sale to Indians was not forbidden. A
law of 1649 ordered that every vict-
ualer or ordinary innkeeper should al
ways be provided with good whole
some beer for the entertainment of
strangers.
The laws Of the colony always favor
ed the manufacture Of beer, and even
as late as ten years after Massachu-
sets had become state a law was
passed entitled, "An act to encourage
the manufacture and consumption of
beer, ale and other malt liquors."
The act freed beer from all taxation,
but it came too late after a series of
fiscal laws which for revenue purposes
had made beer dear and led to the i'm
portation of cheap rum from Jamaica.
