SACRAMENTO awake
Meeting of National Irrigation Con-
gress Followed By Great For
ward Movement There.

Hon. G. A. Barrett, accompanied by
Mrs. Barrett, returned Tuesday from
San Francisco. Mr.. Barrett was a
delegate to the National Irrigation
Congress recently held in Sacramento.
After the close of the Congress, Mr..
and Mrs. Barrett visited in San Fran.
cisco and other California points. .,Mr.
Barrett says the recent session Of the
Congress was the most successful aud
far reaching yet held. The delegates
from all sections Of the country were
thrown in contact with practical irrl-
gatlonists, and high officials connected
with the government reclamation ser
vice.
In addition to the scope of benefit
the Convention did nationally, locally
to Sacramento it effected more sub
stantial good than anything has done
since its prestige as a distributing
point for the mines in an early day
was taken away.
The National Irrigation Congress,
which met in Sacramento last week.
gave great impetus to local improve
ment and development, as well as to
the movement for irrigation, forestry
and conservation of the whole resources
of the country. Almost immediately
after the close of the Congress City
and County bond election was held
and bonds to the amount of 81, SOC. 900
were voted for roads, bridges and pub
lilo buildings. The majority for the
bonds was one, of the largest in the
history of similar elections, which
goes to show that the Capital city Of
California has had real awakening.
Sacramento was, until within the
past five years, regarded as one of the
least progressive of Pacific Coast Cities.
Her people were prosperous, in fact,
the foundations of many great fortunes
were laid there, but owing to the fact
that the lands Of the great valley in
which Sacramento is situated were
held in great tracts and devoted TO
wheat growing, there was little oppor-
tunity for growth of population in the
country, and consequently little city
growth. Recently there has been a
marked change. The wheat lands are
being irrigated and sold in small tracts
for intensive farming and-truit culture
The power resources of near by noun
tain streams are being utilized. New
industries are springing up, railroads
are building, and new order of things
prevails.

COMES OUT ON TOP
Young Farmer Who Went Broke,
Bought Back and Has Paid
for His Farm.

Monday morning young farmer
walked into the Press Office, paid his
subscription and remarked. well,
that's the last debt I owe. have paid
out close to $4,000, and it is not very
late in the day either"
The man was Ad Pinkerton. and
with pardonable pride and satisfaction
he exhibited pile of receipts and
other papers among which was mort
gage which he had lifted" that
morning.
"Ad, as he is familiarly called by
all who know him, like many other
good. honest. industrious men. was
tossed about on the wing of adversely
during the hard times. and went broke
while manfully trying not to go broke.
He tasted the bitter dregs of failure.
and saw his farm, on which he bad
paid his first few hundred dollars, go
back to it's original owner.
But through it all he was honorable
and kept his good nalae unsullied.
Many man would have 'tlaid down"
aud quit; not so with Ad. He pegged
away with but one purpose in view
to repurchase and pay for the farm he
had lost though no fault of his. And
dad" Rigby saw it in the boy. and
gave him another chance. Ad took
fresh hold, and paid for the place in
few years.
He then purchased the Lee Mitchell
place, and it was the mortgage on this
farm that Ad satisfied Monday. He
is now independent, owns one of the
finest farms in Umatilla county, and
has a host of warm friends who are
glad of it.

HUNTINGTON Ex|LED
orm er Athena Lawyer and Politician
Banished By District Attorney
From the United States.

]. B. Huntington. formerly an
Athena lawyer and political stump
speaker, is man without a country.
an exile, without hope of ever seeing
his native land again, unless he pre-
fers spending a term behind prison
bars. The reason for his going into
exile is given by the Portland 1ele-
gram as follows:
Released from Jail and an impen-
ding sentence only on his promise to
leave the United States within "a
hours, j. B. Huntington, one time a
prominent eastern Oregon politician
and land office receiver, this morning
took his last look at Oregon. Hunt
ington has been waiting trial in the
county Jail for some weeks on the
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses, chiefly by uttering forged
checks. A similar charge caused his
arrest at Vancouver, WASH, but he
was released there to stand trial in
Oregon. His brother. B. S. Hunting
ton, prominent lawyer of The Dalles,
has been using his influence to secure
the mans release, and finally prevail
ed on the district attorney to drop the
cases if his brother was taken not only
from the state, but from the country
forever.
~. B. Huntington is a member of
one of the Oldest families in Oregon.
His father was minister in the pio-
neer days in Oregon and his brothers
are all prominent men in eastern
Oregon. sheriffs, land office receivers
and politicians being members of this
we'll known family. Huntington has
been in similar trouble before, and in
the past his brothers always managed
to come to his rescue before convic-
tion seemed imminent. but this time
the cases seemed SO clear and the like
lihood of a prison sentence was con-
sidered to be SO certain that it was
only on the agreement that Huntington
would become an exile from bis coun-
try that prosecution was dropped, and
should he ever return and his return
sbe discovered by the district attorneys
'offiue the present cases will be revived.
s''I can only say that Mr.. Hunting
ton will leave for Seattle tomorrow
afternoon and then to the Orient, !"
said Deputy District Attorney Adams
when asked concerning the case, but
in other quarters it was learned that
the Philippines was the Mecca toward
which Huntington was headed. !"
Huntington left Athena some years
ago. taking with bim an unsayory re-
cord. He drifted to Portland, where
later his wife separated from him. He
bad long been going from bad to worse,
and his finish causes no surprise here.
