People About Hanford Irrigation Ca
nal VIII Celebrate Completion.

The people OF White Bluffs. Han
ford and the country in that vicinity
are preparing for a grant demonstra-
tion April /, when the Hanford Trri-
cation company will turn the water
into the great power canal of the com
pany and the irrigation system will
commence operations over a consId-
cradle tract OF land. says the Pasco
Express.
The plant for the generation Of
electric power is now arriving at
Priest Rapids at the rate Of six or
seven carloads weekly, and the install
lation Of this machinery will occupy
but a comparatively short time. as
everything is in readiness for its erec-
ton. The settlers are busy preparing
to take advantage Of the water.
Between 1000 and 1000 acres Of
small fruits will be planted around
Hanford this season. and as strawber-
rles and other berries ripen there
earlier than in any other part OF
central Washington, outside Of the
Columbia river basin, the new indus
try should prove highly profitable.

MoRMoNs BUSY AT TWIN FALLS.
Idaho Sclmitar Tells OF Plans of Theo-
cratic Missionaries.

An unusual degree of Mormon ac-
tivity in the newly organized county
of Twin Falls in the southern portion
OF Idaho. where Gentiles predomi-
nate and government is administered
on the American plan. Missionaries
are exceedingly busy in Twin Falls
county-the missionaries of a theo-
cracy, not OF a religion that is any
better than the American religion
and they are endeavoring to plant
their churches here and there and es-
tablish their methods, says the Idaho
Scimitar.
There could arise no possible objec-
tion to the presence and labors of
teachers representing merely the eth
les of a Christian religion, but the
missionaries of the Mormon church
have designs far beyond the spreading
OF the word Of God and the building of
shrines to His holy name.
Wherever they intrude they seek
control politically, commercially and
morally and their anxiety for the re-
mission OF sins is but accidental
used only as ambuscade as they con-
struct the foundations of degrading
system.
Twin Falls county is attracting the
attention OF the best citizenship OF
the country and it is to be hoped that
its productive lands may be reserved
for that class OF people.

FORESTRY DEPARTMENT URGES ECONOMY

Moreover, a tie cut from small
tree, when treated with a preserva-
tive, is far more durable than an un-
treated time cut from heartwood, and
although its initial cost is somewhat
greater, its final cost is considerably
less. Manufacture Of logs Of certain
sizes into definite products is there
fore getting to be OF increasing inn
portance.
While the principal advances in the
closer utilization OF the tree, so far,
have been made in working up the
log to better advantage. other reduc-
tions in waste will come through the
use OF every part Of the tree which
can be handled with profit. Varied
commercial interests over the coun-
try have made good success in the
last few years in reducing the enor-
nous waste of forest products by
treating with preservatives woods
which are of little value In their nat
ural state, reducing the height of the
stump, using the tree higher up into
the top, and utilizing for various by
products many parts which were for.
merly wasted. The government
through the United States forest ser
vice, has taken a prominent part in
these experiments, and the knowledge
gained has been placed at the disposal
OF the business men OF the country
who are interested.

Park Dream to come True.

It would seem as II the dream for
a real, live park for Walla Walla were
at last coming ire. Plans are being
drawn by the park board which will
give Walla Walla one of the most
beautiful recreation places in the
state, says the Walla Walla States
man.
The city park on East Alder street
is to be the main center of operation
although Wildwood will also be beau
titled and a boulevard on either side
OF the creek will be constructed to
that place, as we'll as a rustic bridge
connecting It with the city park.
The city park is 4O-acre plot OF
beautiful land, full Of pretty streams
and springs, and all over the park
water is so near the surface that 1t
will need no irrigation. Lakes can
be easily constructed and beautiful
drives will be feature Of the place.

him to become a candidate for nomi-
nation at the next primary election.
In following out this intention the sem
ator went to Astoria Friday last,
where he filled out the necessary
statements in the registration books
as called for by the statute. Because
the registration books were not legal
ly open. however, he could not make
the affidavit required by the law un-
I'll Monday, after the books had been
opened.
Monday forenoon Senator Fulton,
who was then in Portland, called up
by long distance phone the county
clerk OF Clatsop county, an old time
friend. who knew his voice and in
that manner had the oath admins
tered to him, swearing to the facts as
set out in his statement Of registra-
ton. Now the question arises among
those of technical bent: Was this
oath over the telephone in accordance
with the strict Interpretation of the
registration law?

uau,ed $50. 900 Bushels Grain.

During the month of December the
O. r. & n. fleet of Snake river boats
the Lewiston, Spokane and Yakima
moved 100000 bushels of grain
from the warehouses. OF this 14O,-
900 bushels comprised wheat, and
30. 900 bushels were barley. This Is
the largest amount of grain hauled
from river points for a similar period
in the history of grain shipments In
the Lewiston country. 1t is estimated
that there still remains in the ware
houses $50, 900 bushels of wheat and
10000 bushels of barley. Daily the
steamers are still rushing out large

That Ezra Meeker, the trail mark
er, is doing something more than

ment along the route Of the Old Ore
gon trail, Is shown by the following

THE TELEPHONE oATH.
Question as to Legality Of Senator
FultOn's RcgfMuatlOn.

The oregon Daily Journal in dis
cussing the legality OF Senator Full
tons registration. since he took the
oath by telephone, says:
Has Senator Fulton complied with
the letter and spirit of the regiHtra-
ton law?
When he files his primary nominat-
ing petition will he have complied
with the letter and spirit OF the di-
rect primary law?
VIII 1t be possible for some techni-
cal and radical opponent to enjoin
the secretary OF state from placing
his name on the official ballot when
that document is made up before the
primaries in April next?
These are three questions which are
causing not ~ little, speculation and
argument among the attorneys and,
those technically wise in things politi-
cal, caused by the peculiar manner
in which the senator registered and
qualified as an elector while in oregon
a few days ago.

Ing DIR. and Mrs. P. A. Charlton, with
the doctor called at the Observer Of

good, old-fashioned visit with the edi-
tors, says the La Grande Observer.
Mr.. Coomes represents the
true, typical westerner not the
magazine type with a rattlesnake hat
band and suspenderless trousers, but
the cleancut frank countenanced man
who has grappled with the stern real
tiles and triumphed, and come
through with a cheerful disposition

have whitened his hair and care has
left as occasional furrow in his face.
his frame is still erect and his eye
undimmed. For several years he has

Others, though he is not "shelved' by
any means, and would undoubtedly
try the metal of a much younger
man should a hunting trip be pro-
posed.
Mr.. Coomes can recite many inter-
esting accounts of early life in east
ern Oregon, as he we'll remembers
when wild game was still plentiful
and the native grass was "belly deep"
on the plains now waving with grain.
While he has prepared for the ripe
time of life with sufficient amount
of the white mans "chickamen," he
is content to spend his days and
wealth in the land which has yielded
to him so bountifully and still con-
tends that there is no spot so beauti-
ful as his own mountain ranch on

ASK UNTIL AUGUST |
WALLOWA WOULD DEFER
RANGE PAYMENTS
Meeting of County WOOlgrOwers AS
sOciation Asks That Reserve Range
Payments be Postponed Until Au-
gust 1 on Account Of Money Strin-
geocy-Exeellent Sheep Conditions
Prevail.

At the largest and most enthusias
tic meeting of sheepmen ever held
in the county, representatives OF
Wallowa's leading industry, at the
court house Saturday, adopted reso-
| lutions asking that the collection OF
range dues be deferred until August
| l, on account of the scarcity of ready
money because of the panic, says the
Enterprise News-Record.
The range dues are usually collect
ed April IS, before the sheep go on
the range and when other heavy ex-
penses are being met by sheep own
ers. BY August 1. most of the wool
clip money will have been received
and the payment OF the range dues
will not be burdensome.
There were over a score of prom
inent sheepmen present Saturday
morning when President Jay H.
Dobbin called the meeting to order.
Secretary Thomas Morgan was alb
sent because Of illness, and Fred Fal-
coner was named as secretary pro
tenn.
BY request, Daniel Boyd read the
resolutions adopted by the state as
sociation, and the same were en-
dorsed in toto by the Wallowa asso-
citation.
Aside from the postponing Of the
range dues, one of the principal points
was to inaugurate a January cam
paign against coyotes, the state body
recommending that all sheepmen put
out poison during that month In
places where dogs are not likely to
get it, also that the bounty be in
creased from $3.50 to 81.
r. Martin of Joseph gave some fig
ures by C. L. Hartshorn, deputy
stock inspector for Wallowa county
The estimated number OF sheep be-
ing wintered in the county is 146,OOO'
an Increase OF 10000 over last WIN
ter. There are about 5000 horses and
cattle. Deducting the yearling
wethers that will be sold next sum-
mer. Mr.. Hartshorn says over VIA
600 will be paid for range dues by
Wallowa county sheepmen the COM
ing year.
A general discussion followed on
several topics, by Messrs Dobbin'
Falconer. Graves, Boyd, Baudon'
Beth, Hyatt, Maxim, Omer and r. F.
Stubblefield, Johnson and Ragedale'
during which the following points
were brought out:
Range rates, now excessive, are
increasing.
Rates are 16 cents for eight
months, the same price for a year,
No county has so much open bunch
grass country in the reserve as has
Wallowa.
Stockmen in Wallowa pay far more
in dues than the cost of conserving
the forest reserves they use. the
surplus goes to other states.
Wallowa county sheep are now and
ever have been free from scab and
other diseases.
Jay H. Dobbin was reelected pres
ident w. H. Graves, vice president
Thomas Morgan secretary, and VIII
Stickney, treasurer.

citation, each paying 50 yearly dues

STATE SEARCHES FOR SAND.
Portland Clubs Offer of 500 Reward
Causes Wide Search.

A 13-old boy, Sherman Howard, is
the newest competitor for the Coium-
bia Steel works 500 prize offered to
the discoverer OF silica sand In Ore
gon, says the Oregon Daily Journal.
Young Howard lives near Sublimity,
Ore. His father is a regular reader
of the Journal. and the boy saw in its
columns the steel company's offer.
He has sent a sample of stone to
the Portland Commercial club and
with 1t the following letter:
Portland Commercial club. Sirs:
Il will mail you a sample of white
rock to see IL it contains any white
silica sand. My papa read the adver-
tisement in the Journal and IL 1t is
any good there are very large bluffs
of it, and If 1t contains anything OF
any good please let me know.
Excuse my mistakes. as 1 am a

 TELEPHONE RATES LOWER.
Best Class of Srrylcr Now Down tO
 S3G n Year for Onr bipc.

With the object of bringing about general improvement in service con ditions. the Southern New England Telephone company has planned to place in effect on october 1 in the cities of Bridgeport Hartford New Haven and Waterbury. certain adjust mcnts of It's residence rates which. 1t is believed, will lead to a more gen eral adoption of single or individual lines by subscribers and thereby tend to eliminate the existing delays result ing from the large usage of party line service.
 In substance. the companys plan contemplates the provision of single line domestic service In these four cities at the rate of s36 per annum This rate will he applied to those ex- isting subscribers who are at present paying charges of $40 per annum in Waterbury and s4s per annum in Bridgeport. Hartford and New Haven for a strictly domestic single line ser vice and will be offered to new sub scribers desiring such service. The two-party line service at present fur nshed in Bridgeport. Hartford and New Haven al the. rate of s56 per an- mum will be discontinued. and the ex- isting subscribers to domestic service at that rate will be provided with sin glc lines, at the same rate.
 The Telephone company has had these adjustments under consideration for some time in connection with it's continued efforts to improve the ser vice In Connecticut as elsewhere in tho east, the tendency of subscribers has been to elect the cheaper and, therefore, necessarily lower grades of service while. on the other hand, the traffic or usage per telephone has tended to increase. These tendencies have unavoidably resulted in annoying delays to subscribers in the use of their own service, and in frequent in- ability to obtain Immediately the de- sired connections with subscribers on other party lines. It is evident that this condition can he eliminated only by the adoption of adequate telephone facilities on the part of subscribers: therefore, while the company will con tinuc to offer Its existing rates, rang ing as low as s25 per annum, for par ty line domestic service, the adjust ments outlined above will he made with the intent of lending all possible encouragement to a general use of in- dividual lines at the rate of s36 pei annum.
