TO ASK CONGRESS
FOR $1O,OOO,O0O
BOND ISSUE URGED TO AID
IRRIGATION PROJECTS.
FAvORS ROOSEVELT IDEAS
Announces His Intention of Applying
TO Congress for Confirmatory
Legislation.

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 2S.-In a
speech on the conservation of nat
ural resources. delivered here today.
President Taft declared that he
would ask Congress to authorize the
issuance Of s10.O00.0OO in bonds to
complete irrigation projects already
begun in the West and on which
work has been stopped for lack of
funds. This has been the hope of
many settlers In the arid regions
who had taken up lands, anticipat-
ing securing supply of water to
make them fertile. and the Presi-
dents declaration was enthusiastic-
ally cheered.
Mr.. Taft broadly took the stand
that while the present Admlnistra-
tion is pledged to follow out the pol
icies of Mr.. Roosevelt, such a pledge
does not involve him In any obliga-
tion to carry out these policies with
out Congressional authorization. The
President added. however, that he
would take every step and exert
every influence upon Congress to
enact legislation which shall best
subserve the purposes and require
ments of the situation.
Mr.. Taft declared today that Con-
gress did not intend that the Gov
ernment should undertake projects
which could not be currently paid
for out of the proceeds of the sales
of public lands, but added that he
has been impressed during his visit
to the West of the necessity for inn
mediate relief.
The President gave credit both
to Mr.. Pinchot and to Mr.. Baliinger.
He referred to the wonderful work
OF Mr.. Pinchot and said that while
that work had brought denunciation
at first II was now generally realized
that the reforms inaugurated by Mr..
Pinchot were not only necessary but
should have been begun ten years
ago

STAY With IT.

Don't lose your grip-stay
with it.
Get a hold after the fashion
of the bull dog, then hold fast.
You will win in the end.
Umatilla county has a future.
Ii is dormant at present.
The awakening has yet to
come.
1t is yet only in its infancy.
Land where anything can be
grown is scarce and has long
been gobbled up. This kind of
land is sought Tor and it is the
only kind that is worth while.
1t will not be many years be-
fore this kind of land will be
worth $1,000 per acre and then
it will be Seyond your reach.
1t will not be long before this
irrigated land will be under cul.
tivation then those who have
held fast will reap what they
have sown. Our rural villages
will then have to expand to
meet the impervious demand of
increased population.
Thus no one has to have
much of a foresight to see what
is in store for the future.
All that is required is a ten.
ascious bull dog grip and a com.
bined boosting spirit.
Keep a stiff upper lip.
Boost.
Push.
Don't knock.
Say nothing and saw wood,
and always strive and work for
the goal-a greater, bigger and
more prosperous community
around US.
There's room for 10000 peo.
pie in and around Stanfield and
plenty of good soil to support a
million.

EXCELLENT CLIMATE.

Who would want a better or
more agreeable climate than we
have in Umatilla county,
We have no floods.
No cyclones.
No tornadoes.
No earthquakes.
No severe winters.
No hot summers.
No twisters.
No cloudbursts.
No blizzards.
No freeze.ups and sudden
thaws.
No drouths.
1t is truly the Italy of the
United States. OF course we
have March winds-some times.
But where is the place on the
globe that dosn't have spring
winds?
Those who are wont to curse,
fume, fog and boil over because
a mild breeze watts a few little
insignificant sprinkles of sand in
their face should tougher up
in the tidal wave zone, or few
nights rest under the foot of
Vesuvius and also a night or so
in Missouri where the mercury
stands at 100 at midnight would
be excellent experience to begin
with.
The climatic conditions here
are unexcelled. There is no
disputing this fact.
