which is $625 per mile of ditch cleaned.
 A fair average estimate of the material removed is IT feet wide by 2 feet deep, making 66O0 cu- bic yards per mile and costing 9 1-2 cents per cubic yard.
 The V has proven it's superior ity over any previous known method of cleaning out the smaller ditches, and with a new machine, built on more scien- tific lines, and with more effici- ent men to manage it and the engine, far more satisfactory results will be secured.
 c. D. SYSTEM FOR SALE
 President Gleason recommend ed more systematic office man. agement and closer check on finances, and on the question of the final disposition of the c. D. Co.'S remains he said:
 'There is no question but what the opportunity to purchase the Southern Pacific's interest in our system will be presented sooner or later, and when offered on a fair and equitable basis and in a manner that 1t can be ham, dled, it ought to be accepted, but the merits of the proposition ought to be carefully scrutinized." '"
 The directors have increased the salary of the secretary from $125 to $15O a month and agreed to spend money to send an attor- ney to Washington to ask the Land Office to change it's rulings on desert land entries.

The annual meeting of Imper- ial Water Company No. 1 was held at Imperial last Tuesday and the following named direct ors were elected: w. A. Edgar, George A. Long, D. c. Aplin, E. s. McCollum and w. E. Wilsie. All are residents of the valley, and Edgar and Aplin are the only members of the old board reelected. There were six nominees, E. E. Forester being the unsuccessful candidate. Four of the men elected received from 70,954 to 73,897 votes. Wilsie's vote was AZ, 127 and Forrester's 31, 336.
 On Thursday the directors elected D. s. Aplin president and E. R. Baker secretary, and postponed the appointment of a superintendent for one week.
 An amendment to the bylaws, requiring that proxies be sent to the secretary two days before an annual meeting, was adopted.
 The directors were authorized to construct a telephone system if the cost does not exceed $175 a mile.
 / On motion of J. B. Parazette, it was decided to cooperate with the other mutual water compan- ies in sending an attorney to Washington to try to secure an annullment of the recent order regarding the assignment of desert land claims, in so far as the order is made retroactive.
 PRESIDENTS REPORT
 In his annual report, President Gleason reviewed the events of the past year affecting the prog ress and development of Imperi- al Valley, referred to the fight of the Southern Pacific against the invading river, the attacks by claim-jumpers on validity of ti- ties, the foolish attempt to incite sdissension over county affairs, and said:
 After all this, in one year, we find ourselves today doing business as an independent coun- ty, the Colorado river perman- ently under control and failing to break the levee, in the last flood season, it bent it's energy at digging a better channel on the old line than it has had for many years, and today conf- dence in Imperial valley is run ming higher than ever before. :"
 WORK ON THE DITCHES
 Concerning the affairs of the water company, the presidents S report gave the following infor- mation:
 Imperial Water Company No. l now has 330 miles of ditches in operation, and is supplying water to about 80. 900 acres actually un- der cultivation.
 Assessments for operating ex- penses during the year amounted to 75 cents per share.
 The company has expended $3,000 for additional machinery and at least $10,000 worth of work that under normal condi- tions would have been done on the ditches last year was carried over to this year because of the fight with the floods of New river.
 With the exception of very few miles the ditches are now in good working condition.

May BE Reached by Trolley Line
Capitalists Looking Over the Field
and Consider Project Feasible
Would Start From CondOn-Timber
Land Would BE Reached.

+. T. Hurlburt, banker of Condor
was in Prneville Friday. and agair
on Monday. on his way to and from
Cline Falls, where he has a large in
terest in the Cline Falls Power COM
pany, says the Crook County Jour-
nal. Mr. Hurlburt Is also one of the
incorporators OF the company formed
to project an electric line out of Con-
don into Central oregon. He spoke
freely OF the companys intentions.
and said that while the enterprise was
no; ye, under way 1t was under con-
sderatlon, and that reconnaissance
would shortly be made.
The project will involve the con-
structlon Of approximately 100 miles
OF trolley from Condor down Pine
creek to its confluence with the John
Day river; thence. after crossing the
river into Wasco county, up Pine hol-
low TO Shaniko, thence north. to tap
the Agency plains wheat district.
while a spur from O'Neil up Crooked
river to Howard will look after Prime
vQle's business, and is part Of the gen.
eral program.
The members comprising the COM
pany are wealthy and their credit is
good for a whole lot more cash than
they possess so there is no reason
why they should not be able to make
good their opportunities If they decide
to go ahead.
II may be stated that the timber
lands south of Bend are being looked
upon with covetous eyes by the COM
pany which sees unlimited posslbili-
ties in tonnage for an electric line.
The east will soon want it. The tim
Der supply of the country will be ex-
hausted within 25 years if the present
rate Of consumption is not materially

reduced, and central oregon yellow
pine will be needed long before that
time. In fact, the isolation is all that
| has saved II so far. Ten sawmills in
that district could easily keep two
electric lines busy. 1t is only a ques-
timber lands will furnish commercial
lumber to the east and the coast.
Besides the timber, the company re-
CARDS the Agency plains as no incon-
siderable factor in inducing the con-
structlon Of n railroad 1t is not too
much to say that an average of a mill
lion bushels of wheat may be pro-
duced there every year and this
means at least $4,000 annually to the
transportation line which first enters
the field Then the irrigated district
of the Deschutes Irrigation & Power
company and others will be another
factor when occupied by the frugal
settlers. Also, It must not be forgot
ten that there is considerable yellow
pine up ochoco.
While plans are not yet fully ma
tured. Mr.. Hurlburt says his company
intends TO go ahead as far as II can
with the work, or until Mr.. Hartman
holds it up the latter having all the
rights of way corralled Mr.. Hurl-
burt thinks there will be little or no
difficulty about that, as an electric
line can negotiate curves and gradi-
ents that would paralyze a steam road,
and 1t would be easy to get entirely
around Mr.. Hartman because of this
fact.
His company has splendid power at
Cline Falls on the Deschutes, for with |
an So foot head in 15O yards there is
enough power going to waste to oper-
ate at least 100 miles of line; and there |
is also a good power site at Steelhead |
falls and another on the John Day at
the point of crossing the mouth of
Pine creek in Wheeler county

merry yesterday il was seen that the
strawberry crop is being taken care

with the delicious odor Of that fruit,
says The Dalles Chronicle.
About 80 girls, women, boys and
men were busy in the different de-
partments.
AS soon as fruit comes in greater
quantities more people will be en-
ployed, but those there now are busy
as bees. Everything is nice and clean
and those working have comfortable
seats and tables at which to work.
The cannery is a great thing for The

SOCIALISM TRIUAIPHS.
Many Candidates Being Elected In
Germany.

Berlin, June 22.-Leaders of the
German social democracy assert that
in 12 districts in Berlin six candidates
will surely be elected when the defin-
tive issue takes place tomorrow and
that there is a large probability of
two or three more.
. One socialist was elected in Hanov-
er at the first ballot on June 3, and
the second ballot may add one or two
additional members to this represen-
tation. The elections are looked upon
as a great triumph for the principles
of Marx, since it is the first time in
history that the socialists have gained
representation in the Prussian ange-
ordnitenhaus.
Their entrance into that stronghold
of conservatism has created a sensa-
tion and may induce the government
to grant the long demanded franchise
reform. Women and children of the
workingmens' quarter are taking part
in the general jubilation and the pub
lie demonstrations of joy at what is
termed the speedy triumph of social
ism.
The victories of the socialists are all
the more remarkable because the
on which elections to the
diet are conducted is based on
qualification, which confers
the bulk of power to the wealthy and
disfranchises the masses. The gov
ernment hitherto has resisted success
fully all demands for reform Chan
cellor Won Buelow's attitude on this
question and the resultant street DEM
onSrations last January are recalled |
as the latest incidents in this peren-
NAL struggle.

FIXTURES FOR SALE CHEAP.
Prohibition Will Put Many Men Out
of Business,

Travelling statesmen for hquir hous-
es are being discharged and the mar
ket is flooded with secondhand fix
lures for bars as a result Of the pro-
hibition elections in many Oregon
counties, says the Portland Telegram
The large territory which many sales.
men made regularly in the past will
seek elsewhere for employment. How
many salesmen have been thrown
out of work is not known. but one
Portland house alone is said to have
released seven.
There are said to be furnishings for
$50 first class bars on the market,
and at least 500 billiard and pool ta-
bles. Drummers are now flocking in
to Idaho and Washington offering
bargains in fixtures and tables. In
the Lewiston country the saloonmen
have been offered expensive billiard
tables at their own price and they
have been offered the most elaborate
of bar fixtures for less than the cost
of manufacture. The market is lit
orally glutted with saloon parapher-
nala. because so many saloons have
been put out of business.
In Pendleton the telephone COM
pany has also felt the effects of the
prohibition wave. Saloons in that
city have to go out of business the
first of the month, and they have no.
titled the telephone company to take
out 40 instruments by that time.
