A great many people, who have
noticed the Wood County National
Bank Sign on their new building,
have an idea that the letter stU'' in
County is wrong as it appears in the
sign. This is a mistake; the style
Of that letter has it's "U'' made so
that it does look great deal like
''V'' in some other style OF letter.

of that text of letter, Grecian to

true to it's design. The sign is cor
rectly carved.

which contemplated the watering OF
lands north and west of Pendleton.
The waters of Mckay creek may be
stored and used 10 water the Tutuilla
valley. Much Of the torrent that
comes down Wild Horse creek every
winter might be turned out upon the
broad fields adjoining tha; stream
and with great profit.
The watering OF the dry land Sec
tions OF this county will be beneficial
10 both the country ana to the towns.
There are some farmers who seem to
believe that the agitation against
weeat raising Is something inimlcal
to them. Nothing could be farther
from the truth. Ii by the watering
os land that is now so dry tina, only
biennial crops are raised the land may
b, made worth twice or three times
or ten times as much as at present
the farmers will be the chief gamers
by the change. If they can but lrrl-
gate their farms the wheat kings"
may ride in airships instead of autos.
Eastern Oregon is reputed far and
wide as a land of enterprising, re-
courcas,,1 ,,,ap II n is tn, tho mon
of Umatilla county, farmers and
townsmen, will never stop until they
have watered the plains of this county
wherever they may be watered. To
allow the water to go unused to the
sea as at present is a reflection upon
the ingenuity and the enterprise of our
people.

KEEP NEWELL THERE.

If there is any one man who should
be left in the reclamation service it
lis Director F. H. Newell. If there is
really an attempt to remove him, as it
seems there is, that attempt should
fail
Years before the reclamation SER
vice was started Mr.. Newell was in
the geological survey and he gathered
much of the data that was later used
by the service. He was largely in
strumental in drafting the reclamation
law and it was a fitting act when he
was placed at the head of the new de-
partment.
The work thai was done under his
direction during the past few years
has been of a herculean nature. 1t is
doubtful if ever in the history Of the
world did any government or any
corporation or group of corporations
undertake a task involving more vari-
ed and complicated problems together
with greater responsibilities for those
IN charge than has been true of the
government reclamation work.
But despite the magnitude of his
task Director Newell has carried on
the reclamation work with good sue
cess and what is of decided import
ance too without the least suspicion
of graft or favoritism. In other words
the reclamation law has been observ-
ed honestly and in good faith.
While such a man is at the head Of
the work keep him there. The west
cannot afford to lose Director New
ell for any new hatched unfledged"
appointee the secretary of the inter-
ior may see fit to name.

USE THE WATER.

The latest irrigation project pro-
posed for this county is one which
calls for the creation OF tt reservoir
OF Pine creek above Weston and the
watering of 10000 acres of land in
the Weston-Athena country. Just
how far the plans for this enterprise
have been worked out is not known
at this time nor is the East Oregonian
informed as to the chances for the
successful construction Of the pro-
.ject.
But this much is certain-that the
men who are at work upon the
scheme are upon the right line. If
they want to promote the develop
ment Of this county-adding to the
prosperity of the towns and country
alike-they can do nothing better than
to work for the irrigation of the pres
.ent dry land sections of the county.
From wheat raising alone this
country has nothing more to hope.
Exclusive wheat raising on bonanza
scale is curse to this county. Such
a grade Of farming drives population
from the county, closes school houses,
wipes out election precincts, turns the
country into an almost homeless, life
less plain and blocks the progress of
the towns. Bonanza wheat farming is
the sleeping sickness" that now ails
large portion Of Umatilla county and
eastern Oregon in general. This is
a fact that should be looked squarely
ia the face by those who would like
to see this county and the rest of east
ern Oregon go forward in the matter
Of settlement and development. If
the country is to prosper and increase
in population as the possibilities justi-
fy then something aside from wheat
farming must be taken up.
Naturally the most effective way to
work for the correction Of the present
situation is by working for the ex-
tension Of irrigation to every portion
o: the county that may be reached
with flowing water. Along this line
there is much that may be accom-
plished If only the various enterprises
can be organized in the right manner.
Aside from the Pine creek project
many other and somewhat similar pro-
jects may be taken up. At this time
less than one fifth Of the total flow
OF the Umatilla river is being utilized
Water sufficient to irrigate 100000
acres Of land now flows into the Co
lumbia at Umatilla while at the same
time hundreds Of thousands Of acres
of semi-arid land lie adjoining the
stream in this county. The official
government reports show the annual
discharge Of the Umatllla river into
the Columbia to be 5O5,00O acre feet
or enough water to cover 505,00C
acres Of land to the depth Of one
foot, provided the flood water is used
BY means of storage reservoirs and
by FLOOD" irrigation practically al
the water Of the streams of the county
can be utilized. A great flood irriga'
tion project may yet be devised alont
the line Of the old sturgis tproje'

Revenue From the Dog Tax.

How much money has been collected
in Kentucky from the dog tax is
little known outside of the STATE Of
fices at Frankfort and the figures for
the last year, as compiled by Frank
p James. State Auditor, will sur
prise a great many persons. The fig
ures show that In 1907 there was
collected on dogs a total of $l49,-
9O7.15 and $1O6,1647j was paid into
the school fund after paying foh
sheep that had been killed by dogs,
to the amount Of $43,742.20. The tota
humber of dogs assessed durina
1907 was 1SS,9S5. Exoneratons to
the amount of $32, 1922 were allowed
and the commissions amounted to S.
1859.
This year 1t is estimated hiatt the
amout Of tax received on dogs will
be $121 ,646.59, and the sheep claims
paid will be about $94,O84.S5. The a
mount that the school fund will receive
will be about $50, 39O9S.
