Not Enough VIII Sign Up to Insure
Sunnyside Reclamation.

6. ]. Harrison. of Sunnyside, today
received. says the Yakima Republic,
letter from Congressman w. l.. Jones,
dated Washington. ID. c., under date
of June 13, in which Mr.. Jones says
the situation over the purchase of the
Sunnyside canal looks serious, and he
urges the people down there to get In
at once and secure the required num-
ber of stockholders in the Water
Users association.
Mr.. Jones tells Mr.. Harrison that
only 6S per cent of the land owners
under the proposed extension of the
canal have signed the water users
agreement with the government, and
this may be the means of the secretary
of the interior turning down the pur-
chase of the canal at the present
time.
Mr.. Jones deplores the lack of ac-
tion by the people in that district and
SAYS that 1t would be blow to tht
interests of the entire valley to have
| the government take the money thai
has already been appropriated for th'
Yakima projects to some other place
As a meeting of the board of engineer
Is to be held here July ., Mr.. Jone
fears that II the land is not all signe'
up by that time the board may decid
against the Sunnyside project.
Whether a decision of this KIM
would involve the Tieton project

ton project has practically all bee

land owners under this project t

but the trustees believe that they wi

they can get some entanglemen'
straightened out.

he says that the eastern portion of the
reservation through which the Rocky
mountains extend, is entitled to the
term Switzerland of America" which
has been applied to it.
The Blackfoot reservation is larger
than the Umatilla in area, but the
number of Indians is about the same.
None of the land has yet been allotted,
and for the most part the Indians live
by stockraising and selling hay.
Though the land is good for farming,
but little is now being done.
However, next year the reservation
is to be allotted, and after each men,
/ her of the tribe has been awarded land
the remainder will be thrown open 10
entry by white men. According to
/ Major Moorhouse, there will be an
opportunity to secure some good land
at that time, as there is much more
than enough for the Indians. None OF
the reservation is to be retained in
common. as was done on the Umatilla
reservation.

As stated in the East Oregonian
over a month ago, the o. r. & N. coal
chutes in this city are to be moved
to Bingham Springs, if present plans
are carried out and the depot in this
city will be moved several hundred
feet west to where the chutes now
stand, in order to permit trains to
clear Main street when stopping for
the depot.
Chutes of sufficient capacity for the
yard engine and the Spokane branch
will be maintained here. and a supply
of coal will be kept here as usual, but
the regular freight and passenger en-
gines of the main line will take Goa
at Bingham Springs.
This change is to be for two rea-
sons. according to o. R. & n. officials
The first is to give room in this city
for large yards and better depot IA
cilitics: the second Is that the chute!
at Bingham will save handling coal 81
miles between this city and Bingham
and engines taking coal at Bingham
Springs will have a better supply will

New Steel Bridge Possible.
The present plans of the compau
are to build a steel bridge with con
crete piers west of the city and onl
temporary repairs will be made to tn
damaged portion of the preser
, bridge. Howeer, this has been Pre-
jected for some time, and the bridg
would have been replaced with ste'
, structure, perhaps next season, ha
not the flood damaged the west az
s proach to the bridge. The damae
will perhaps serve to hurry the cor

HOW SUFFRAGE
WAS DEFEATED
REPUBLICANS UNITED
WITH wHISKEY RING.
Suffrage Was Traded Off by Portland
POliticians-Most Corrupt and Bra
zen Deal Ever Made in Oregon
Woman's Journal of Boston, Gives
Oregon Some Undesirable Advertls-
Ing

The Woman's Journal, OF Boston, an
official organ OF the equal suffrage
forces of the United States, gives a
startling account OF the political trick
cry by which the equal suffrage
amendment was defeated in Oregon.
1t openly charges the republicans of
Portland with combining with the
whiskey ring to defeat the amendment
Tho journal also says the democrats
did the same thing outside of Port
land.
Following Is the review of the sit
uation by the Journal:
The combination that was made
against equal suffrage in Oregon is
said to have been the most powerful
ever effected against any measure in
! the history of Oregon. This state Is
normally republican by large ma
/ jority. and Portland, Oregon's only big
city, is strongly republican also.
The republican machine of Multno'
nah county (Portland) made deal
with the liquor interest to kill the suf'
frage amendment, in return for 4
large contribution from the liquor
dealers to the republican campaign
fund. ana their support for Stevens
the republican candidate for sheriff
of Multnomah county.
This caused the Multnomah count!
democrats to take the other side an'
use their influence for us. The,
brought us a good many votes, bu
as the democrats are in the minority
they could not offset the much heav
Ter republican machine.
!. OF this deal between the liquo
interests and the Muitnomah republi
can machine there is positive proof
There is also strong evidence that an
other deal was made by the liquo
interest with the democratic machin
outside Mutnomah county Portland
by which democratic votes agains
suffrage were traded off for liquo
votes for Chamberlain, the demo
$ cratic candidate for governor. cham
berlain is elected while the republ
l cans have carried the rest of the
state ticket.

FISH LADDER PROBLEMS.
Modified Considerably by the Flood,
at Some Points.


At a meeting of the Anglers asso-
citation held last evening in the rooms
OF the Commercial association, o. F.
Turner, deputy game warden, re-
ported upon the present condition OF
the dams in the Umatilla river west
of here. He has visited both the dams
at Hermiston and Irrigon since the
washed around the ends of the Her
miston dam so that there is now no
obstruction to the fish coming up the
river at that place. AS long as the
river Is sufficiently high to make the
ladder OF any use, the fish can pass
around the dam. Consequently II will
not be necessary for anything to be
done there unless the Maxwell COM
pany undertakes to repair their dam.
At Irrigon nothing has ever been
done towards installing a fish ladder,
and the dam is still an obstruction. 1t
is the intention of the anglers to in
sist that a ladder is installed there
before next season.
| At the meeting last night II was
voted to reimburse Messrs. Ladow and
Turner for the money which they ex.
pended in making repairs at Hermis.
ton. Also, s5 was voted as a reward
to J. r. Adams. who gave informa,
ton which led to the arrest of Trox
all for dynamiting fish in the Una
tilla.
Another meeting Of the association
will be held in the club rooms mex
Tuesday evening, at which 1t is pro
posed to complete the organization b,
adopting a set of bylaws and choosing
permanent officers.

More Costly LIQUOR Licenses.

Incomplete statistics Indicate that 20
per tent Of the liquor dealers in Ohio
have gone out Of business since the
license fee was raised from $3.50 70 81 90.
The public from this source
will be increased largely, and there will
be an appreciable reduction in the num-
Der Of saloons, and presumably a positive
gain 10 the State.
This spring Chicago doubled the price
Of retail liquor licenses, with the result
that while a considerable number Of
men in the business abandoned IL, the
total amount received by the city was
largely increased. In this city the am
effect was produced by the operation
Of the liquor tax law, and the increase
in the price Of licenses fixed by h Legs
lature two years ago, while 1t closed
some drinking places, also resulted in
greatly enlarged venue
The Jersey City excise board plans
TO double the present cost Of saloon
licenses, and it estimates hat this
action will add $3.50 900 a year 10 the
city's income. This general movement
for higher liquor license fees is not
likely to end yet. The business has few
defenders, except among those en-
gagged in it, directly or indirectly. The
saloon keeper is still a potent factor in
ward politics, but in larger affairs his
influence is not great. The public does
not complain when the traffic is taxed
high. Once increased, the fees are prac-
tically never lowered. Higher license
appears TO be a pretty well settled policy
in all the States.

indeed, the attendance Of members Of

Representatives from their seats, and
absence without leave has become a

II is the Speakers warrant that nettles

To THE EprroR oP THE SrS-Sir: On

dovetails my own humble opinion that I
desire to acknowledge l..
coming from a country-to the north
which seems to be either unknown or wholly
Misunderstood by the majority OF Americans,
/ find tina, II Is much better to keep my opin-
ions secret TO a great extent. And yet there
are some things in the daily life OF this coun-
try so obviously inferior as TO almost demand
criticism. The ridiculous vanity Of the
average New Yorker Of the middle class Is
one OF them.
II became noticeabl first TO me while
living in New York. and no matter where
else ! go In the United States l find Il re-
fected in the admiring expressions OF the
would be-Sew-Yorker port ion OF the popu-
lat " or else come in contact with a real or
alleged New Yorker-some pilgrim who has

am glad that &C. T." assumes and. be-
iieves that there are some real women In

there: there must be. And yet TO the So
