MORE THAN $1,000
FOR THE HOSPITAL
TAG DAY AND FAIR
PROVES BIG SUCCESS.
Results of Enterprise Far in Excess
of Most Sanguinc Expectations
Large Cash Donations of Many
Friends Swell Receipts From Sale
of Tags and Fancy Articles at the
Fair Conducted by the Sisters

As the result of Tag Day ana the
Catholic fair held last week the Sis
ters of st, Francis netted a total OF
$3.50 for the local hospital and acad-
my. This amount was far ahead of
what tho sisters first expected from
their enterrsise and as a result they
are highly pleased with the result.
Through the columns of this paper
the sisters desire to express their
sincere thanks to those who aided in
making their fair a success and also
those who remembered the hospital
with cash donations.
A statement of the receipts last
week show that the sale of tags pro-
duced but a small portion of the
money received. Only S124 was re-
ceived from the sale of tags upon the
streets. At the fair the sum of $232
was netted from the drawing contest,
while the remainder of the money
came from the sale of articles at the
fair and from cash donations. Dur
ing the week many local people of
philanthropic minds donated cash to
the hospital fund.

Another matter the senator will

This measure has already been intro

Senator Fulton felicitated Umatilla
county upon the development of the
Hermiston irrigation project through
which he had just passed and of which
he is proud as n father, having been
one of the moving factors in securing
the project to this county. He took
occasion to say that he expected to

work with money received from
monthly payments by a number of
Pendleton business men. No solicit
ing has been done for some weeks, the
committee believing that it was best
to wait until it could show the char
acter of the work it was doing for
Umatlla. The goods are here, and
the quality is such that no one can
help but praise. Now that the work
is organized and the people can see
what is to be accomplished it is hoped
that every man in the county inter-
ested in its development will join in

Views BY Special Photographer.
The illustrations were made from
photographs taken by a special pho

He was taken to every portion Of the
county, selecting such views as would
best show the resources and posi-
bilities of that vicinity. each one tell
ing its own story Then came an
artist who travelled over the county
to secure the information which en-
abled him to draw a perfect picture
OF the topography of the lands, the
mountains and timber. the grazing
territory, the wheat ranches, and the
irrigated fruit sections, with state
ments of the production.
The reading matter Is by Mr.. A. J.
Wells, the well known writer of San

here, being taken by Mr.. Gwinn to
learn from his own observation and
interviews with citizens engaged in
different occupations what there Is
here now and what we have to attract

The story he has written is simple

Probably the biggest private irri-
cation enterprise ever undertaken in

cation by o. d. Teel of Echo of an
appropriation of $4,000 miners inch
es of water from Camas creek in the
south end of the county, which is TO.
be carried over into the Butter creek
district along the edge of Umatilla
and morrow counties, where it will
be used in the irrigation of $4,000
acres of land
The Teel appropriation takes the
water from Camas creek on the north
branch, just below the junction Of
Camas and Hideaway creeks, near the
southwest corner of section 16, town
ship south. range 32, E. w. NJ,
whence it is to be carried in such
canals, fumes or pipe lines as are
necessary a distance of so miles to
section 16, township north, range
29, E. W. NJ.
The appropriation is made for the
purpose of irrigation, electric or other
power, and stock watering.
The line will originate in the neigh
borhood of the Dixie ranch and will
be carried to the vicinity of Echo, in
which region it will water a big acre

The wealth of Umatiila county as
shown by the tax roll just completed
BY Assessor Strain is S25,272, 5000,
something like $16,000,000 less than
that of last year when Umatilla coun-
ty had the greatest roll Of any coun-
ty in the state except Multnomah. but
sufficient to give it the rank of third
when the rolls are footed up for The
coming season. The loss in valuation
Is not due to prohibition in Umatilla
county. but to the fact that the as
sessments this year are made on a
valuation of between 60 and 20 per
cent of that of last, a reduction made
by Assessor Strain to make the assess
ment more equitable with regards to
the assessment of other counties in
the state.
The figures of the assessor show
that almost half of the wealth of the
county lies in it's lands, tillable and
non-tillable and improved and unim-
proved while over one-fifth of the
wealth of the county is credited to
the railroad roadbeds.
The city property of the county Is
improved to a value of 100000, APP
proximately. more than the land upon
which the improvements stand, ac-
cording to the assessors figures
According to the assessors return,
out of the S25,O00.OOO of wealth that
Umatllla county boasts there is only
$11S,000 cash, while the value of
stocks in various enterprises amounts
to $4,000 more.
Owing to the exemption of $500 per
person which in many instances was
given on stock, the number of head
Of various domestic animals shown is
less than last year, while the value,
due to a fall in prices of stock, is al
so considerably less
