BOSTON HAS FIERCE CAMPAIGN
No Party Lines, But $25O,OOO Is Spent
by Various Candidates.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 10.-Boston Sat
urday night wound up, except for the
finishing touches, the fercest municipal
campaign in its history. The election
Tuesday will be the first under the new
non-partisan plan and for a non-parti-
san campaign this has certainly been a
revelation to the sponsors of the new
order of things.
One of the candidates for mayor con-
fesses he has spent nearly $4,000, and
he accuses his chief opponent of having
spent more than 100000. This charge
is not denied. The other two candi-
dates, without ghost of chance of
election, have spent about $4,000. The
various candidates for the city council
have probably spent 100000, so that
the cost of the campaign to the various
aspirants figures up close to a quarter
81 million dollars.
The ballots on Tuesday will bear the
names of the candidates without party
or other designation, and the campaign
has been non-partisan except so far as
the known political affiliations of the
candidates have influenced voters.

LAND READY FOR WATER.
owyhee Ditch Company, Too, Will
Join in Larger Plan.

Ontario-A plan to include all acre
age covered by its bitches in the new
public irrigation district being formed
near Ontario, to water lands below the
Malheur river and along the Owyhee
river in Malheur county, through the
extension of the Boise-O -Owyhee project
is being worked out here. The acre
age to be watered may reach 100000
acres.
Not only do the directors Of the
Owyhee Ditch company propose to ex-
tend its canals to irrigate the arid
lands, but it is now proposed to work
into the general project a plan by
which the so-called wet lands can be
included, providing the owners consent
to come into the project. Petitions for
the creation of the proposed district
were presented to the county court of
Malheur county at Vale December 5,
but postponement was asked for the
purpose of allowing wet land owners
to come into the Owyhee district and
also give the TrowbridgeNi Niver COM
pany ample time in which to thorough

bonds December 10 a meeting was
held az which time it was decided 10

pany to include all of its lands. If
an agreement can be reached practi-
cally every acre of land lying below
the Malheur river will be included in
the one irrigation project.

PRELIMINARY FLIGHT A SUCCESS
Three Men and Two Women Make
Short Balloon Voyage.

Los Angeles, Jan. 10.-The big bal
loon "New York." carrying its owner,
Clifford B. Harmon; Mrs. Alvin French
and her niece, Jean French, as passen-
gers, and George B. Harrison and
George Duessler, balloon pilots, landed
at Casaverduga, in the Glendale val
ley, at 4:47 yesterday afternoon after
a flight of nearly two hours.
The landing was made with ease, and
no discomfort or danger attended any
portion of this, the initial flight of the
aeronauts who have gathered here for
the aviation meet events.
An altitude of 5000 feet was attained
and observations were taken by Mr..
Harrison and Mr.. Duessler.
When the great gas-bag was cut
loose at Huntington park at 2:55 in
the afternoon, its flight was almost
straight up until it had attained a
height of 1000 feet. Then a strong
current bore it to the northward until
it passed out of sight beyond the haze
that lay over the mountains.
Spectators of the flight believed it
was the intention of the aeronauts to
attempt to sail over the Sierra Madre
mountains, but. those on board say this
would have been impossible. At a
height of 5000 feet, another current
took the balloon to the westward, and
when they were over the Glendale val
ley the aeronauts decided to come to
earth. A distance Of about 25 miles
was covered.

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

Los Angeles, Jan. 10.-On level and
broad field, where but 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 a 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. Tie soldier waited
until one December 81 to ride the boun.
daries of his land.

waIIowa's Lumber Industry.

Wallowa-In 1909 the chief advance
ment in the county was the lumber in
dustry. At the beginning of the sea-
son there were only three small mills
in the immediate vicinity Of Wallowa;
at the close Of 1909 there were ten
mills, many of which have capacity
of 20, 900 feet per day. The largest
of these mills is the Nibley- Mimnaugh
Lumber company's mill, located in this
city. 1t is a modern band mill, with
capacity Of $4,000 feet per day.
These mills will market more than
80, 900, 900 feet of lumber annually, all
Of which will be sent from Wallowa.
As the lumber industry increased
rapidly in the past year the population
Of the county increased. Wallowa ad-
vanced from little hamlet to mod
ern town with many magnificent resi-
dences.
WalIowa county built modern court
house within the past year, which is
located at Enterprise.

President of Pacific Railway Declares
Grade Is First Class.
Portland-"Who ever heard of log
ging road constructed at cost Of $40,-
600 per mile?"
This the question E. E. Lytle, presi-
dent of the Pacific Railway & Naviga-
tion company, propounded when asked
in regard to a report emanating from
Astoria to the effct that the line being
built from Hillsboro to Tillamook will
be nothing more nor less than a log
ging road; that it is not intended for
passenger and freight business.
"Why, it Is absurd" Mr.. Lytle con-
tinued, and laughed heartily. "Of
course the report came from Astoria
Astoria does not want the road built at
all. 1t never did.
"We are pushing the work as rapid
ly as possible, and expect to have
trains in operation by August 1. At
present 1900 men are engaged on the
work, and they are certainly doing
something" 1.-THE report has it that
the road contains too many sharp
curves, and too steep grade to make
it practical forLpassenger traffic." Mr..
Lytle was told.
"Curves and grades? We have nc
sleeper grade than the maximum OF
the Southern Pacific to California,
which is per cent, and as for curves,
there is not one exceeding Is degrees.
You must not lore sight of the fact
that we have 1S tunnels on that stretch
of road from Hillsboro to Tillamook
These tunnels shoudld do away with
some of the grade that seems to fright
en- those who might have started the
rumor.
"The road will cost in the neighbor.
