Union Waters a5. 600 Acres,

La Grande-Many things have been
accomplished in Union county in 1909,
but standing out prominently is sue
cessful launching of an irrigation pro-
ject along lines where the water users
are to govern the project through a
board of directors.
One hundred thousand dollars was
subscribed to buy a dam site and
rights of way. A corporation suffic-
iently larged was formed and it is now
building canals and is about ready to
call for bids for the construction of q
dam at Meadow Brook, eighteen miles
away, sufficient in size to irrigite 35,-
900 acres of Grande Ronde valley land.
Because of this project land has sd-
vanced In value.

FREIGHT HOUSE CROWDED.
Shipments to Central Oregon Aver
age Over 100 Cars Per Month.

Shaniko-As the distributing point
for Central Oregon, Shaniko is doing "a
record breaking business. From Sep
tember l to December there was re-
ceived at the depot here 347 carloads
of general merchandise Tor central Ore
gon, grand total of ID, GIT, O44 pounds
of freight.
This freight was all teamed to in
terror points, some as far south as Sill
yer Lake, 220 miles from Shaniko. In
dicstions that Prineville, Madras,
Bend, Lamonta, Mitchell, Dayville and
dozen smaller towns are doing a rec
ord breaking business judging from
the unusually large consignments for
these places. Owing to the impossible
condition of the roads throughout the
south, which has made teaming practi-
cally impossible this month, the ware
houses are congested with freight.
The main freight house which is 600
feet in length by 70 feet in width is
practically blocked. Merchants in the
interior are offering fancy prices for
delivery of their wares.
AS to stock shipping point Shaniko
can we'll be proud of her record. She
shipped, from August l to December l,
420 cars of live stock, mostly cattle and
sheep, September and October being
the banner months with 121 and 1872
car respectively.
A great portion of the cattle went to
Portland markets while sheep were
shipped to Montana, Idaho, Colorado,
Utah and Wyoming grazing grounds
before being placed on Chicago and
Omaha markets.
AS wool market Shaniko is sur
passed by none in the west. Last sea-
son approximately 4,0O0,0 900 pounds
was marketed at prices ranging from
ID to 231a cents per pound. AS in sew
eral years past Shnaiko had the dis
tinction of receiving the highest prices
paid in the west. Shaniko was the
only point in Oregon, last season,
where the sealed bid wool sales were
held. This is accounted for by the
fact that throughout Eastern Oregon
and Idaho extensive contracting was
carried on. Practically all wool ex-
cept that consumed by mills in Oregon
is baled and shipped to Boston, requir-
ing 81 cars to move last seasons out
put from Shaniko alone.

FRANCE rAvoRs OPEN DOOR.
Doubts, However, Whether Knox's Po-
sition Can Be Maintained.

Paris, Jan. 11.-Although France
favors the preservation of the open.
door policy and Chinese sovereignty in
Manchuria, it considers that the issues
raised by the American proposition to
neutralize the Manchurian railways
primarily concern Russia and Japan.
The French reply to the American
memorandum, therefore, is likely to be
determined by the attitude of Russia,
Frances ally. The French press re-
CARDS the question as complicated. The
Figaro thinks the United States is try
ing to retrieve the mistake OF 1904-05,
when it backed Japan to get Russia
out of Manchuria, only to find that
Japan had supplemented her there with
out benefit to the open door.
"Even if Russia accepts" says one
paper, "Japan is not likely to agree
England is bound by a Japanese al
lance, and a similar reserve is i'm.
posed upon us for like and other rea.
sons"
The Matin believes that France will
follow Russia's lead.
Gil Bias expresses the opinion that
the situation is filed with gunpowder,
and declares that the real issue is
commercial supremacy in China, for
which the United States and Japan
are struggling. It charges that the en-
tire aim of American diplomacy is di-
rected to that end, and insists that the
United States has pushed China to re-
sistance in every struggle with Japan.
"Even after the arrangements of Oc-
tober 4, last year." continues the pa
per, Fin which China agreed not to
construct a railroad in competition
with the South Manchurian, American
support comes forward for the con-
struction of the Chin Chow Fu-Tsitsi-
khav line.
"Now America proposes to go fur
ther and force Japan back into Corea,
and thus render effective Chinese dom
ination of Manchuria, which today is
purely nominal.
"Secretary Knox's arguments dwell
upon the advantages of terminating the
cause of constantly renewed disputes
in Manchuria, but it is proper to ask
whether the aim of the United States
is always to the benefit of humanity
and not to the promotion of her own
interests. Toxic must give the an
swer. Already the Yankee policy has
compelled Japan to take the military
precautions that so greatly alarmed
Russia. Japan knows how to act quick
ly. Therefore the Japanese response
will be awaited with inquietude."

.PINCHOT FIRED
BY PRESIDENT
Executive Says Chief Forester Is No.
Longer "HeIpfuI Subordinate"
Place Given To Westerns. Grazing Ex-
pert Pinchots Three Principal
Assistants Also Discharged-Pres-
ident Holds That Dignity of His
Office Has Been Assailed.

Washington, Jan. S.-GiffOrd Pin
chot, chief forester and intimate
friend of Theodore Roosevelt, was dis
missed last night from the service of
the United States by President Taft
for insubordination. Associate Fores-
ter Overton W. Price and Assistant.
Law Officer Alexander C. Shaw, Pin
chot s immediate assistants in the for
estry bureau, followed their chief out
of government employ.
Thoroughly indignant over the ac-
tion of Mr.. Pinchot in inducing Sen
ator Dolliver to read letter from him
in the senate yesterday, President Taft
today would listen to no advice that
the forester's violation of executive
orders be overlooked pending the in
quiry soon to be undertaken by con-
gress.
He declared the dignity of the presi-
Dental Office was being attacked and
he would be unfaithful to his trust if
he submitted longer.
Mr.. Taft undoubtedly realizes fully
what the dismissal of Forester Pinchot
means in political way. He has been
convinced for some time that the So
called insurgents" and other critics.
of his administration had enlisted the
services of Mr. Pinchot and practi-
cally were defying him to dismiss Pin
chot from office The latter's letter of
yesterday, few here doubt, was writ
ten with the direct purpose of ''put-
ting it squarely up to the president -
The president sought to avoid the
threatened war as long as he could,
but declared today that patience had
ceased to be a virtue He picked up.
the gauge of battle thrown down by
Mr.. Pinchot through the hand of Sena-
tor Dolliver in the senate, and, with
the administration supporters, is ready
for the coming fray.
Political observers in Washington
declare that the situation created by
today's developments is the most tense
in many years. What the outcome will
be no one is willing to prophesy. In
the house of representatives today
Speaker Cannon lost his first fight to
the insurgents, who, combining with
the Democrats, caused to be adopted
an amendment to the Ballinger- Pinchot
inquiry resolution so as to take from
the speaker the power to appoint the.
house members of the joint committee
of special investigation.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan. ia. F. Pot
ter, on his way to Washington, D. c.,
to success Clifford Pinchot as head of
the forest service, stated today that
his experience and personal knowledge
of western conditions undoubtedly

western interests to be most congen-
ial," he said. "I desire to work in
harmony with the livestock associa-
tions, to promote the fullest use of the
national forest ranges, to foster the
stock interests and promote the general
welfare of the west. "

WHERE MEN WILL FLY.
Aviation Field at Los Angeles Is Ideal
Place.

Z GldCOs
Los Angeles, Jan. 10.--On level and
broad field, where but a week ago a
herd of cows grazed in peace, minia-
ture city of tents and plain wooden
structures today marks the spot where
the first aviation meet in America is
to begin, and above which the first
competitive trials of speed and endur.
ance between heavier than-air machines
will be seen on this continent.
Aviation camp is 13 miles from this
city on the lines of the Pacific Elec-
tric extending to the numerous beach
resorts along the Pacific coast. On a
stretch of high ground at one side of
the field high grandstand has been
erected rising 40 feet in the air and
extending for 700 feet along the course
over which the trials of air craft and
speed contests will be held.
Stretching out across the aviation
field from a point in front of the
grandstand is long row of tents that
now cover numerous flying machines
and will house many more during the
ten days of the aviation meet. On an
other side of the broad field another
line of tents are placed and here the
United States army dirigible balloons
and many other dirigible airships are
being assembled, ready to be inflated
Aviation camp is on ground made his
toric in the days Of the Spanish Dons.
1t is part of the famous Dominguez
ranch given to Lieutenant Juan Jose
Dominguez of the army of Spain in
the year 1884, and its extent was de-
termined in the grant by clause which
said that the gallant soldier, for valiant
services, was entitled to as large a
tract as he could ride around between
sunrise and sunset. The soldier waited
until one December 81 to ride the boun-
daries of his land.
