NEWS NOTES GATHERED FROM
VARIOUS PARTS OF OREGON
DESCHUTES' BID TOO HIGH
State Land Board Balks at $50 an
Acre Lien.

Salem.-The state land board at IFS
last meeting, heard and took under ad
Vlsement the application of the Des
chutcs Irrigation & Power company for
contract for the reclamation Of "a
600 acres of land south and east of thc
tract that company is already reclaim
ing in the vicinity of Bend, Crook
County. This new tract is what is
what is known as the Benham Falls
project
The state has a contract with the
United States for the reclamation of
this tract, and now the question is TO
whom the state shall let the contract
of constructing reclamation system.
The Deschutes company wants lien
of 500 an acre for reclaimng the land,
but there are indications that the board
thinks this is too much. 1t is reported
that the Twin Falls Land & Water
company, which operated extensively in
Idaho and eastern Washington, is fig
uring on undertaking the Benham Falls
project at price less than that named
by the Deschutes company.
The board will send State Engineer
Lewis to inspect the land and report.
The company estimates that 81 per cent
of the entire tract is non-irrigable.
The state land board adopted new
and important rule relating to resi-
dence on reclaimed land in the Des-
chutes projects. Heretofore the rules
have requested purchasers of reclaimed
land to reside three months on the land
and put one eighth of it under cultiva-
ton within three years from the date
of application. The rule adopted per,
mits the settler to "prove up' bv
showing a 30day residence, the cult
walton of 75 per cent of mis- land and
the erection of a four-room house.

Chicago Air Very Dirty,

Chicago, Oct, 13-The health de
partment, in report just issued
states that the dust and SCOT in the
atmosphere of Chicago, as shown by
tests just taken, is three times as
great as that in the atmosphere of
London. Samples of the air taken at
a height OF 40 feet above the street
level at four points of the city were
subjected to analysis. The report
says: "This excess may be partly at
to the long continued drouth.
The dirt had not been washed out of
the air for some time previous to the
collection of specimens"

Jackrabbits in Lane.

Salem.-From various sources re-
ports have been received that iackrab-
bits of the kind common in eastern
Oregon are numerous this fall in the
willamette valley. AS the eastern Ore
gon rabbits have never been numerous
enough in the valley to cause any fear
of injury to crops it has been assumed
that they would not thrive here, but
the unusually large number that have
been seen lately gives rise to the belief
that they may prove to be a pest.

Thinks Press Is Unfair.

The Waterville Press is intensely
democratic, and consequently in
tensely unfair and ungenerous. Such
are habits of intensely democratic
democratic papers, and probably one
should overlook shortcomings of
that nature that might rub against
the raw. Still an item in the last is
sue of the Press was rather too per-
sonal to pass up. The paper copied a
section from the platform adopted at
the Okanogan county republican con-
vention which mildly endorsed the
administration of Governor Mead, fol-
lowing it with the fact that the plank
was due to the fact that the son of
the editor of this paper is the COVER
nor's private esecretary. The Press
knew that the platform was the ex-
preston of a convention and not that
of an northumberland it can be said
in passing that the section ELECTED
spontaneous applause-but the OPP
portunity could not be overlooked to
rap one who is fairly entitled to the
privilege of entertaining political
views at variance with those of the
Press, and to try and create the err
roneous impression that Governor
Mead's following in this county is
confined to single person.-Lomis

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Scenery as an Asset.

When Samuel G. Lancaster stated
to members of the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce that "the state of Wash
ington is richer by far in natural
beauty than either California or Van
couver Island" and that much of
the scenery in the Cascade range and
the Olympic mountains will vie in
beauty with any to be found in the
world" he merely stated truths per-
fectly familiar to persons who know
this section of the country.
Moreover, Mr.. Lancaster drove a
useful lesson home when he adverted
to the fact that the climate and
scenery" of southern California
yield larger annual returns than all
the fruits and vegetables which she
can grow
Scenery is valuable asset; but,
as Mr.. Lancaster suggested, "easy
means of transportation in the shape
of improved roads" must be provided
before the state will attain the emf
nence the state deserves on account
of it's superb advantages in this par
ticular. Good roads will invite the
tourist to this section, and will en-
as, if no. more than, any other single
factor.
Civic and commercial organiza-
lions in this city and section cannot
give too much attention to the ques-
ton of good roads, for in no other
way can the state of Washington en-
joy the rewards of natures clever
designing in this part of the country.
Washington may declare large divi-
dends on natures investment, and at
the same time prove of enormous
benefit to human kind, if the state
will only open the way for easy
enjoyment of the splendid beauties of
the section. 1t is a work worth do
ing. The state has an asset of col
ossal value in its scenery, and it
should use it to the best possible ad-
vantage-P.-I.
