due to the one quart of beer and pint
of whiskey which he purchased. Both
he and Pendley became drunk,
though he says that Pendley was
much the worse of the two. When
Pendley recovered from his spree he
reported to the police that he had
been robbed and Smiley and Baldwin,
who had been seen with him, were ar
rested on suspicion. Baldwin has
since been released, but Smiley will
likely be prosecuted for simple lar
ceny.
Not long ago Ogg's liquor license
was jeopardized through his arrest
and conviction for gambling. How
ever, his conviction was for an Of
fense committed while he was operat-
ing under last years license so he
was permitted to continue business.
But at the session of the council at
which his case was disposed of Coun-
Gilman Stroble, chairman OF the Ii
cense committee, sounded a warning
to the saloonmen, declaring that fu-
ture violations would mean the for
feiture of licenses. So it would not
be surprising II Ogg's license should be
revoked in case he is convicted on the
charge filed today.

"While the cleaning up crusade Is
on why does not the city and the
county unite in abolishing the dump
heaps in the river bed and near the
Lee street bridge and along the coun-
ty road leading north from town."
This is a question which has ap-
pealed to many who have CHANGED
to cross the Lee street bridge recently
or who have driven along the road IN
question. 1t Is subject upon which
residents of that part of the town feel
especially strong.
All along the river bed, above and
below the bridge, the landscape is
now marred by piles of garbage and
manure recently dumped there by
draymen who have evidently looked
for a nearby place to unload the ret-
use. On the other side of the river
the road is lined for half mile with
piles of tin cans, dead dog or two
and loads of manure. Not long ago
some of the piles on the other side
of the river were set fire and for sew
eral days the wind waited the odor
across to the homes on Lewis street.
much to the discomfort OF those Nv
/ ing on that thoroughfare.
ITO allow stuff dumped in the river
bed and along that road is a dis
grace to the city and 1t should be a
heavy criminal offense." declared one
today who lives In that vicinity. 1T
not only spoils what otherwise might
be a pleasant walk or drive, but the
garbage piles so near residences are
certainly a serious menace to the
health of the town.
More Garbage Forbidden.
Inquiry today revealed the fact that
for weeks both the police department
and the county commissioners have
been striving to prevent any further
garbage from being dumped near the
bridge. For several days officer Sheer
was stationed near the spot to eaten
offending draymen, but they failed
to appear while he was there. Yes
terday two arrests were made, but
when the offenders explained to the
recorder that they did not know fur
ther garbage dumping was forbidden
they were permitted to go.
While further dumping of garbage
is tabooed the action of the police is
like locking a barn door after the
horse is stolen for already the river
bed and road side are covered with
manure and garbage.

North Bank Irrigation Scheme.

Word has been received here that
T. B. Montgomery has sold three Sec
tions of unimproved lands, including
the townsite of Roosevelt, on the
north bank road, to a Seattle syndi-
cate, says an Arlington dispatch, for
$4,000. Plans are being formed to
build a dam across Wood Gulch, thus
forming a reservoir sufficiently large
to irrigate the entire tract of land
sold, and also adjacent land equally
as good. When these plans are sue
cessfully carried out and the land d.
vided into small tracts and sold to
settlers who willtran sfer the desert
into comfortable homes, it will result
in the building up of the towns of Ar
lington and Roosevelt, as it will bring
a good trade to both places.

An unprecedented rush of home
seekers and colonists is starting from
the eastern states toward the north
west this spring, according to the
observations of j. II. O'Neill, travel
ing passenger agent of the o. r. u
NJ, who is in the city today after a
two weeks trip through the east.
All through the eastern states peo-
pie are preparing to come to the
northwest and the railroads are flood
ed with requests for literature and
Information.
All the large cities are furnishing
a large quota of the colonists. People
are dissatisfied with the cramped
and narrowing avenues of industry,
and every family which can raise a
sufficient sum of money to come west
will come within reasonably short
time. The unrest is becoming more
and more pronounced and western
states are to receive wonderful in
rush of settlers because Of it.
The land hunger is more intense
today than ever before, and Mr..
O'Neill, who has just attended a
meeting of the travelling passenger
agents of railroads from every section
of the country are deluged with in
quiries concerning western opportu-
mites and western land.
Another influence which will bring
many subtantial homeseekers to the
northwest is the financial furry of
the last few months. Many people
who had been boarding sums in the
banks will now invest it in land and
thus improve the country and add to
the wealth of every community There
is a feeling that land is a solid and
more secure investment and hundreds
of good citizens will come west to
find investment for small sums In the
irrigated lands which now promise
such wonderful returns within a
short time.
Mr.. O'Neill has visited the east
regularly every year for many years,
but he has never before found such a
general demand for information con-
cerning the northwest as there is at
this time. All the westbound trains
are crowded with colonists and the
number Of new people added to Ore
gon and Washington this spring
promises to exceed that OF any for
mer year.

Abb Ogg, proprietor of the Popular
Resort saloon, has again met with
trouble in the form of an information
filed against him by the district at
torney and 1t may prove his Water
loo. He is accused OF selling liquor
upon the Sabbath day and the charge
filed against him today by Mr.. Phelps
is in part as follows
THAT he did then and there un-
lawfully and wrongfully give sell and
dispose of intoxicating liquors, to-
wit. one quart of beer and one pint
of whiskey to one A. NJ. Smiley, said
day being the first of the week, COM
monty called Sunday"
The case against Ogg was develop
ed by Mr.. Phelps yesterday while he
was examining Smiley, who is held in
the county jail on the charge of hav-
ing robbed a man named Pendley. In
explanation OF his relations with
Pendley, Smiley told Of having been
with him Sunday and said Pendley
had first given him some money with
which to purchase the booze and that
later when Pendley was drunk he had
given him the remainder of the mon-
ey for safe keeping.
Naturally the interest of the dis
trict attorney was aroused by
Smiley's story and he asked him
where he had bought the liquor. The
result is the charge against Ogg.
According to the story told by Smi'
ley the fact OF his arrest was largely
