BABE OF MYSTERY
is GIVEN 4 HOME

The mysterious baby girl which
was to be given away by Dr. Hender-
son has at last found home that was
considered suitable by the doctor.
Previous to the giving of the child
away the doctor had numerous let
ters from people all over the state
requesting that they be given the
custody OF the child.
They had read i'm the East Oregon
ian the account of the baby of mys-
terry and the assurance of its good
parentage and were desirous of adopt
ing 1t as their own. A peculiar fact
about the child is that no one but
the doctor knows who the child has
been kiven to, not even the parents,
and the people to whom the child
has been given do not know who are
the parents of the baby.
Several people who read the article
in the East Oregonian misunderstood
the story and applied for the baby in
the belief that a fortune was to be
given TO the adoptors of 1t.

IN IRRIGATION
LIES C|TY's HOPE
D. G. BRoWNELL DECLARES
PENDLETON NEEDS PROJECT
Watering of Lands Near City Would
Make PendIeton Flourish and In
sure its Supremacy-Conserving OF
Water i'm Reservoirs Just Begun
Electric Line Needed for West End.

"The estabishmet of an irrigation
project in the vicinity of Pendleton,
even If only flood waters from the
river were used, would be the MAX
ing of Pendleton. That is about the
only thing that will make Pendleton
really grow"
This declaration was made here to-
dav bv d. C. Brownell, the success
full irrigationist of Umatilla, who was
here upon business during the fore
noon. In a discussion of the irriga-
ton possibilities of Pendleton's vicin-
ity Mr.. Brownell declared he knew
little about the feasibility of the
Sturgis scheme or of the other enter
prises that have been proposed in the
mast But he expressed his belief that
some such project might be readily
carried out That 1t would be well
for Pendleton if an irrigauon scheme
could be carried out he declared MINI
self emphatically as indicated above
Through his own irrigation enter
prises in the vicinity of Umatilla Mr.
Brownell has made an extensive study
of irrigation problems. He is an ar
dent believer in irrigation and Is con-
fident that within a few years the
irrigation bitches of the west end VIII
have transformed that country into
veritable land of fruit and flowers.
Most of the irrigation enterprises for
the future he believes will be carried
out through the use of reservoirs. He
saws that while the available water
flowing down the streams of the
country in the summer time has been
practically taken the work of con-
serving water in reservoirs has been
started.
An Electric Line.
At this time Mr.. Brownell regards
| the construction of an electric line
from PendIeton to Umatilla as Of
the utmost importance. He believes
| that the beilding of such a line would
not only result in close settlement
and development of the western part
Of the county, but that it would also
establish Pendleton's supremacy as
| the commercial center Of this county.
