HEDDEN REPORTS PROGRESS

Engineer Hedden, who has charge
of the preliminary work of the sur
veys for the north side project, says
that considerable progress has been
made. The surveys in fact are near
ly completed. By the gravity system
the main canal will be about As
miles long; the system will reclaim
$4,000 acres of land of which $4,000
acres will be on the Boise river
slope and 10000 acres on the Payette
river slope. The surveying party is
now ready to start down the river
from the tunnel connecting the Pay
cite and Boise rivers. The canal
will be located far enough above the
ranches to do no harm. The cost of
the project will reach nearly $9,00O,-
10000.
As soon as the surveys are COM
pleted the organization of the Black
Canyon Irrigation district, will be
perfected. A meeting of the commit
tee having the organization of the dis
trict in charge was held Tuesday aft
ernoon in the Office of Mr.. w. R.
Gupp. The purpose of the meeting
was to consider the proposal of a
call for more funds and hearing En-
gineer Hedden's report. Those
present were w. B. Compton, Middle.

GOOD PRICE FOR WOOL ASSURED

The success of the venture of the
woolmen in the intermountain states
in storing their wool IN the Chicago.
warehouse seems TO be assured and
the different sheepmen who are
share holders in this corporation are
receiving assurances that their clip
is being sold at a very fair price.
When the company was formed last
year by the sheepmen to do away with
the wool buyers commission, there
were some doubts as to the ultimate
success of the plan. 1t has developed
however, that the sheepmen who have
stored their wool in this warehouse
have received better prices than here
tofore and this years clip will bring
them a good round sum.
J. Z. Gosgriff in a letter to Sam
Ballantyne of Boise recently had
this to say concerning the outlook for
this year.
"The storage checks are now begin
ming to come in and | do not think
any further notice is necessary. On
October IA $4,000 had been received
out of total of 100000 due not
later than October 81. 1t appears that
now nearly all of the share holders
will send in their money.

able to dispose of all we have at prices
which, on the average, will be better
! than even the highest ones which
were paid at shearing time. The
whole enterprise is working out
more successfully than l at any time
hoped it would, and all we need to dc
is to stand by Loyalty and we will be
forever through with the Anticipated
commission system we have endured
for so many years."
Mr.. Ballantyne seemed very much
pleased with the report from Chica,
go and in discussing the matter said
There have been numerous in
quiries recently concerning what il
ng done with the wool shipped t
the warehouse. In the next few day!
every shipper will receive a repor
concerning his clip and from the toni
of Mr.. Cosgriff's letter these report
will be very fattering. In my ju'
ment it means the passing of the WOO
buyers in the west"

Expert packers arrived in Caldwell
Thursday for the purpose of prepar-
ing and packing a car load of Cald-
well apples to be exhibited at Council
Bluffs and Chicago. The apples will
be taken from the Dorman, Hall and
George orchards near this city. Mr..
Henry Dorman has charge of the ex-
hibit to be made at the cities above
mentioned. He proposes to make such
a display as will attract greater at
tention than was done a year ago
at Omaha and Council Bluffs. In or
der to get the full advantage OF the
advertising secured last year a dis
play is necessary this year. The
partial failure of the fruit crop
throughout the northwest will make
the Caldwell display more prominent
than ever. Mr.. Dorman proposes to
make strong showing. A car load
of beautiful apples should attract
some attention.

The churches of Caldwell work to-

FISK CHARGED WITH BURGLARY

M. A. Bates was up from Parma
Tuesday for the purpose of swearing
out a warrant against Fred H. Fiske
on a charge of burglary. Judge Bates
claims that Fiske entered his print
shop and got away with a shotgun.
Fiske is a transient, although he
claims Nyssa as his home. He is now
serving a ten-day sentence in the
county jail. AS soon as his time ex-
pires he will have his hearing on the
new charge.
There was some joking around town
this week when it was learned that
Fred Fiske was in Jail, and that a
charge of burglary had been lodged
against him. 1t was soon ascertained
that Fred Fiske was not Fred Fiske,
the Parma merchant, booster, politi-
clan and exhibitioner. We think that
Judge Bates was responsible for the
inference drawn by the people of
Caldwell.

The football game Saturday after

ing with P. T. Barnum that the
people like to be humbugged and
they get II when they send away.
Others hold that the county
stores are making too much pro
fit and that they do not sell their
goods on the proper margin of
profit. This may oil be true.
But suppose, that in an instant,
all Of the eastern mail order
houses should cease sending out
their seductive catalogues, should
cease advertising in all of the
papers and magazines; should
cease going out after the bust
ness in this county, will 1t be
presumed that this stream OF
gold would continue to flow into
their well-hlled tills? Not a bit
of it. In other words they get

they put in every house in the
country attractive advertising

of thousands of dollars annually
and no district is too remote to
receive their most respectful
consideration.

WARM SPRINGS VALLEY.

The writer spent a portion OF
this week over at the VIM. Han
ley Co. 90 ranch at the head of
Harney Lake. He found amuch
larger scope of tillable land in
that section than was expected.
1t is an ideal section in some re-
spects and one Of the best stock
raising districts in Eastern Ore
gon. being close TO the so-called
desert range.
The 90 fields are so situated
that an abundance of water for
irrigation may be had and the
large volume of water from the
Warm Springs can be run in al
most any direction.
Mr.. Hanley is having some
thing over 800 acres of land in
an upper field broken up and will
seed it to grain. This tract can
be irrigated at a nominal cost
but it will be put in on the dry
farming plan and the water used
for other lands lower down which
the company wishes to reclaim,
or rather change from its pres
ent dry state,

MRS. r. D. BURROw DEAD.

In the death of Mrs. Matte
Burrow, wife of DR.. r. D. Bur-
row, this community has lost one
of its noble women. Mrs. Bur-
row passed away at the family
home in this city early Monday
morning after a short illness,
caused by blood poison from
slight pimple on her lip.
Mrs. Burrow was an every day
Christian. Her life was a bless
ing and benefaction TO all within
the sphere of its influence. She
was most highly honored by all
who were so fortunate as to be
acquainted with her and the loss
to the home circle is irreparable.
The funeral services were held
at the family residence Tuesday
afternoon and was conducted by
Rev C. w. Holloman of the Bap-
tist church and was largely at
tended by loving friends who
thus showed their lasting respect
to their departed friend and
neighbor.
Deceased was formerly Miss
Matte Black. She was born in
Georgia in 1854. She leaves be-
sides her husband, three children
Miss Clayte and Ruby and William
also an adopted daughter, Mrs.
Urma Fraley, of Texas. a brother
Samuel Black of Roseburg this
state, and a sister, Mrs. Amanda
Miller, of Texas. The sympathy
of the entire community goes out
to the bereaved relatives.

AS a result of his investigation
in the west during the past sum-
mer, Secretary Ballinger is more
convinced than ever that con-
gress should authorize the issue
of bonds predicated on the recla-
nation fund in order that ready
cash may be available for the
prompt construction of the score
or more of government irrigation
projects now in course of con-
struction. Good business. he
believes, demands that such o
bond issue be authorized, for the
more money made available for
defraying the cost of construc-
ton the quicker the projects will
be completed and the sooner will
returns come into the reclama-
ton fund from settlers acquiring
water rights from the govern
ment.

Our Canyon City neighbor,
the Eagle, has a long article in
this weeks issue deploring the
fact that some $40, a month
is sent out of Grant county to
the mail order houses and sug-
gests some remedies. That the
local merchant is more or less
responsible for such conditions
is fact. Just so long as they
make no particular effort to
reach their customers and stop
this continual drain it will con-
tinue. The mail order house
places special inducements in the
homes of the people and their
catalogs are attractive, giving
the price and description of each
article. When the local mer-
chant begins to realize that
printers ink is the greatest fac
tor in the mail order trade and
they cease to look upon the local
paper as a charitable concern,
patronized sparingly and grudg-
ingly- when they begin to rea-
lie that business men make ad-
vertising profitable and that the
home paper is a medium that can
be used proftably, then they will
be getting some or possibly a
greater part of this vast sum
that goes to the mail order
houses.
The Times-Herald manager
would be pleased to meet at any
time with the merchants of Har-
ney county and discuss the mail
order house problem with them.
He believes it would result in a
better condition to all concerned.
The local paper may point out to
its readers many reasons why
they should patronize the home
institutions but it is of no avail
unless the merchant will do his
part. The Eagle says among
other things:
''The cause for it is interest
ing speculation. Different rea-
sons are advanced. Some hold

IF congress is unwilling to
authorize a bond issue in order
to hasten the completion of gov
ernment irrigation projects now
under way, there are other means
of raising revenue which may
prove less Objectionable. First
and foremost among them is to
adopt a practical system of leas-
ing the public grazing lands of
the west. Such a reform not
only would benefit the reclama-
ton fund, into which the graz
ing fees would be turned, but it
would bring about numerous
changes of policy and practice
for which there is a rapidly
growing demand"
The above paragraph is of
considerable Importance to local
stockmen. 1t is taken from a
Washington news dispatch which
indicates that an effort will be
made the coming congress to
pass a general lease law. This
dispatch states there has been a
change of sentiment and that
the West now wants such law.
We are not prepared to express
the sentiment of local men as
they are not all of the same
opinion. Such a law has its ad-
vantages and drawbacks and the
effect it would have on the in
dividual will of course govern his
actions. If a lease law is to be
passed it should be carefully
considered and we should see to
it that each tract should be limit
ed and the small stackman and
homesteader given what is right.
