coast from a tour of the state in the
interests Of local option, is quoted as
stating that he is satisfied with the

by the friends OF local option,
"As far as the battle for local op-
ton is concerned in this state, ii
might be considered as good as Won"
said Mr.. Raymond, "but It is just as
well to keep up the fight until the
day of election. The Anti-Saloon
league has two objects in view, both
Of which are dear to its heart-the
elimination of Joe Cannon and the

BY an agreement between the
Western Land and Irrigation COM
pany and the Allen Ditch company,
filed yesterday with Recorder Hend-
ley, an arrangement between the con-
Germs is made whereby water for both
bitches will be provided through the
headworks of the Western Land and
Irrigation company, near the mouth
of Alkali canyon.
This arrangement will be of great
advantage to the water users Of both
projects and will mean that the lands
under both bitches will have a prac-
tically unlimited supply Of water dur
ing the flood season. or so long as
water is in the Umatilla river sub
ject to their appropriations.
The Allen ditch, the older of the
two, hitherto has been supplied by a
temporary dam rebuilt each year. The
other project, formerly the old Hinkle
scheme. takes it's water out just above
the Allen ditch and a concrete head
gate and wing dam is being put It,
WHICH Mpulu nave Will
the old Allen right had not a joint
use of the ditch, for a short distance
at least, been provided. The one
ditch will now be used for some dis
tance from the headworks and from
it the Allen appropriation will be d.
verted to the lands supplied.
Much Water I'm River.
There is much water in the Una
tilla river at the present time, owing
to the rains in the mountains during
the last few weeks. The water users
down the river are letting no more
of it go to waste than can not be
prevented. Not only is the govern
ment turning water for storage into
its Cold springs reservoir, but the
Henrietta mills at Echo are using
more water than ever has passed
through the mill race before, accord
ing to told timers at Echo, and the
alfalf amills are grinding up a great
quantity of the meal which, II is said,
is finding a ready market.

John e. Smith Of the j. %. Smith
Land & Livestock company, yester-
day filed an appropriation of 10000
miners inches of water from the Una
tilla river, which he proposes to use
in the irrigation OF some 800 acres
OF land owned by him near Barnhart,
The water will be used In an old ditch
at present existing which will be re-
built and widened to a size of 20 feet
on the bottom and 80 feet width at
top.
AS the site offers a splendid op-
portunity for one of the finest water
powers in the country, Mr.. Smith pro-
poses to put in a power station and
develop that phase of the proposition
whenever a market for power is af-
forded.
In one section in the line of the
ditch there is a fall OF some 25 feet
to the mile which, with the great
head of water which Mr.. Smiths APP
preparation would secure. would de-
velop an enormous power.
The appropriation provides for TAX
ing the water from the river in the
southwest quarter of section IA,
township 9 n. R. 81 f. W. NJ, whence
It is carried across sections IA, Is, 16,
II and is a distance of practically
five miles. the route being entirely
within the limits of Mr.. Smiths own
property.
To facilitate the handling OF the
water a flume of a size adequate will
be built in several places along the
line and where necessary Mr.. Smith
proposes to put in pipe lines to han
die the water.

FOR FIRE LOSSES
Veteran Pendleton Miller Quoted by

In an interview in the Evening
Telegram W. S. Byers is quoted as
having declared his belief that both
the big fires which he has suffered
were caused by incendiaries and he
insinuates tha tthe flour combine has
had something to do with his misfor-
tune.
The interview in detail is as fol-

W. S. Byers, the Pendleton Touring
mill man, who is in the city, figures
he is minus the snug sum of $685.
through incendiary fires within the
last II years. The most recent mis-
fortune occurred about two weeks
ago. when he lost $4,000 over and
above his insurance through the burn

stock OF wheat, which was set afire
about 5 o'clock in the evening, when
the watchman was off guard

OF incendiaries as well. 1 have sue

however, and can stand my last loss
much better than the first"
He has over 100000 bushels OF
high priced wheat in his bins at pres

his enemies. His warehouses are as

STRONG WESTWARD MOVEMENT IS
NOW IN PROGRESS, SAYS RAIDER

That a good strong westward move
ment is now on and that thousands
of people from the middle west will
come this way next year is declared by
NJ. A. RAIDER, who re turned last night
from Indiana. Accompanied by Mrs.
RAIDER he had been to his home state
upon a personal and business visit
and incidentally to attend the nation
al funeral directors association.
Upon leaving Chicago" declared
Mr.. RAIDER, 1--WE had great difficulty
in securing sleeper accommodations.
Had it not been for a fortunate oc-
currence we would have been forced
TO wait for several days longer"
But while there is much westward
travel now Mr.. RAIDER says 1t is moth
ing compared with the tide that will
come next summer. Hundreds Of
people are planning to move to the
west next summer. There will be
much travel to the northwest because
of the Alaska Yukon fair and because
of the many conventions to be held
here next year.
Worked for Portland.
While at the national funeral direc-
tors convention as the representative
from Oregon, Mr.. RAIDER led in the
fight to bring the next session to
Portland and succeeded, the date to
be set by the executive committee.
According to Mr.. RAIDER the busi-
ness tone in the middle west is very
good. He says that section Of the
country suffered much more from
last falls panic than did the west.
But normal conditions are now re-
stored. He says there is no uneasi-
