GOVERNMENT To BUILD $4,000 STEEL
BRIDGE ACROSS UMAT|LLA At CAYUSE

At the request of Agent A. f. Nc
Partridge, Of the Umatilla reservation.
and Congressman Ellis. the United
States government is going to con-
struct Il steel bridge across the Una
tilla river at Cayuse The sum of SIS
GOO has already been set aside for the
bridge by the bureau of Indian af-
fairs. Presumably a contract for the
construction of the bridge will be let
soon. News of this action was con-
tanned in press dispatches received
late Saturday evening.
When questioned by phone regard
ing the bridge, Major McFatridge
said:
AT this time there is no bridge at
all across the river at Cayuse. One
is needed badly for the accommoda-
ton of traffic across the reservation.
1t is needed chiefly to accommodate
those who have farms on the north
of the river and haul their wheat
across to the warehouses along the
railroad. In the past temporary
bridges have been constructed al
Cayuse for use during the wheat
hauling time.
''The construction of the bridge at
Cayuse will greatly benefit the prop
erty along the river and believing this

STORES WILL OPEN

Clerks and bookkeepers for the de-
partment stores will have to roll out
Of bed a half hour earlier than usual
after this. Since the longer days have
come it has been decided that it is
necessary for the stores to open ear
lier. in order to accommodate the
customers who miht wish to make
purchasers before going to work.
The hours during the most of the
winter have been at 1880 o'clock and
some state that it is unnecessary for
them TO be any different until the
harvest and summer season begins,
but this contention has been overrul-
ed and the stores, except a few that
have opened all winter at I. will be
ready for business at the stroke Of I.

Salem, Ore, March 1.-Oregon to-
day has a new governor in F. w. Ben
sen, secretay of state, who took the
oath at 1910 this morning, adminis-
tered by Chief Justice Moore. in the
presence of fifty employees of the
capitol.
His first official act was the ap-
pointment of S. T. Kozer as insur-
ance commissioner. Kozer has been
chief clerk in Benson's office.
Benson is still secretary Of state,
chairman of all administrative boards
upon which he votes as governor and
secretary, He will draw both salar-
les, one of $1,000 and one of $4,000.
Benson has not appointed his prf-
vate secretary for the reason that he
has not fully decided about a special
session. In the meantime Mrs. Shell
don, Chamberlains stenographer, will
be private secretary.
Speaker Macarthur will take care
of the details of the clerical work.
If Macarthur is appointed private Sec
retary it will be impossible for him to
be speaker at a special session. Ben
son said members have assured him.
they would not attempt to introduce
new bills if the session was called.
Kozer Immediately opened his Of

New York, March 1.-Bandmasters
throughout the United States today
expressed their opinions regarding
the most fitting air to be played while
the inaugural parade is passing Tafts

The airs selected run from "On the
Banks of the Wabash" to Dixie"
One suggests "Sweethearts," as a trib-

Taft's smile.
John c. Weber of Cincinnati, sug-
gests "Auld Lang Syne." Rainbow

In >pcaa : -.pon the subject OF the
/ proposed reservoir DR.. Coo said:
"A year ago | told the East Ore
gonian that the fact that W. J. Fur
nish was the leading spirit In the In
land Irrigation company, should be
a guarantee that If in the process OF
development some additional fea-
lures should be required to improve
the project, that they would be fur
nished.
AS an illustration of the truthful
ness Of this prophesy l might in
stance the thorough overhauling OF
our bitches at a cost of over twenty
thousand last year. When it was
deemed desirable the work was done,
although no change was made in the
plans.
Last season ! am told was the
worst year as TO the lowness Of wat
er in the river in the history of the
country DR.. c. ]. Smith tells me
that the rainfall was but 6 inches
during the year yet this great county
of Umatilla under such conditions
raised more than four millions of
bushels of wheat.
Robert Stanfield tells me that he
received last year over $50 an acre
for the alfalfa raised at his place and
netted, after hiring all work done,
over $50 an acre.
His lands adjoin us and are part
ly under the level of our ditch and
partly under his own ditch. but in any
event the only water was from the
regular flow Of the Umatila river.
These facts of cropage under
year of greatest adversely are confir-
matory of the claims of Mr.. Furnish
that there is no need of more water
than the river provides as at present
and as is supplied by the present ap-
of water by the company.
I'm spite of all these facts. l learned
in handling the lands that there
was room for a reservoir against
possible greater shortage some year
late in the season and with the hear
ty cooperation of Mr.. Furnish
systematic analysis was undertaken of
reservoir possibilities upon every
available place on the Umatilla river
or its tributaries.
THE site we finally decided upon is
IDEAL. 1t is but five mites from our
intake with no other intake inter- |

That those purchasing land under
the Furnish project will also secure
this power plant Is declared by DR.
Coe. Under the terms upon which
the land is being sold to settlers. each
acre Of land carries with it one share
of stock in the Furnish ditch COM
pany. When all of the land under the
project has been sold those owning
the land will also own the ditch, the
reservoir and power plant.
According to those interested no
plans for developing electrical power
at the dam have yet been worked out.
But they hold that the power will in
evitably be utilized and say that cleo

promoters made no wild boast OF
what they are going to do. They
merely state that they will establish
town and that it will be built large
ly for the convenience Of those who
are 10 live upon the Furnish project.
But while the Opening announce

The Reservoir.
The reservoir to be constructed for
use In connection with the Furnish
project will be located five miles east
Of the Furnish ditch intake. At that
point the ''lay'' of the land is such
that the river may be damned and n
reservoir created without disturbing
the railroad track. At the dam site
the track is 80 feet above the level of
the river and as the dam is to be but
so feet high the reservoir does not
interfere with the right of way.
II is announced that the dam will
be so feet high 700 feet long at the
base and 1900 feet long at the top.
The reservoir will cover in the neigh
borhood of 500 acres Of land and all
told the cost will be 100000
The land comprising the reservoir
site has been purchased during the
past three or four months and was
secured largely through the agency
OF II. L. Moody Of Spokane. At the |
time many of the purchases were
made il was rumored that the land !
was TO be used for colonization pur-
poses. The land was purchased of |
various settlers in the vicinity of Yo- |
akum The right to the company to
use the land for reservoir purposes
has been fully inquired into and 1t is
that the way is entirely
'lear.
AS the Furnish ditch is the first
iltch to leave the river below the re-
site neither a feed canal nor
/ distributing canal will ne needed.
rhe water will simply be stored in
he river bottom. As needed upon

liver bed below the reservoir and will I

'HdtIia piOJtttS.
These things are now in store for
the west end OF Umat,lla county. The
new town and the reservoir for the
Furnish project are for the immedi-
ate future. The electric road at pres
ent Is but prospective. but that It is
inevitable is vouched for by an emf
nent authority in the person OF DR..
II. w. Coe
Stanfield.
That a townsite will be laid ont at
the present site OF Foster has Just
been authoritatively announced. It
will be known as Stanfield in honor
OF r n. Stanfield, who owns most Of
the townsite and much land in that
section. In the promotion Of the new
town the parties chiefly interested
will be II. n. Stanfield and DR.. II. w.
Coe.
According to the announcement. the
town will be established primarily for
the accommodation of the settlers
upon the Furnish-Coe project. Now
that perennial irrigation is assured
for the settlers upon the project it is
assured that the lands under the Fur
nish ditch will inevitably become
closely peopled. Then there is a vast
territory lying on the west side of the
Umatila river that will become trib-
utary to the new town.
On Model Lines.
In the laying out of the new town
every effort will be made towards |
making the little place an up-to- date |
city. At the very outset a fire limit |
will be established and within the
busnc section nothing but brick OF
concrete buildings will be permitted
OF these several are already proposed
and one of them will be a good, mod
ern hotel, to be erected by the incor-
ators. Two lumber yards and bank
are also on the list already.
Place for Town.
Though the formal announcement
that a town is to be built at Foster
has just now been made, the idea is
not an entirely new one to the people
of this county. Every since the ac-
tive work Of reclaiming the west end
became well under way there have {
been people who have regarded Foster
as a logical site for a town. The sta
tion is in the center of one of the |
garden spots Of eastern Oregon. The 5

az being about the most fertile and {
favored Of any along the Umatilla I
