BIG 1RRIGATroN SCHEME.
Lands in HRrney and Lake Counties
Selected as Warner Lake
Project.

The state of Oregon recently
made a selection of come 25,O0O
acres Of land in the western part of
Harvey county and nearly 10000
acres in the eastern part Of Lake
county for irrigation purposes un-
der the Carey Act, to be known as
the Warner Lake Irrigation Project,
which is to be financed by Portland
capitalists and their eastern associ-
aoes, H. B. Millard of Portland, be-
ing the selecting agent.
The lands win be irrigated by in
stalling a pumping plant at the low
er end of Flagstaff lake-which is
referred to on all of the older maps
of the county as North Warner lake
and by building a reservoir site
on Honey creek to hold the waters
Of Honey and Snyder creeks and
distribute them through gravity
canals over a portion of the lands,
also to supply electric power to op-
crate the pumping plant.

discussed, the object being to secure
such data as will be of assistance in
framing the proposed bill.
The question of rates in the fra
ternals is one which has been re-
ceiving the serious attention of these
societies during the past few years,
and in a number of states the legis-
latures have taken the matter up
and enacted measures requiring the
use of rates which are based upon ex-
perience. and which have been deter
mined to be mathematically and sci
entifcally correct.
Wants Expression of Members.
The purpose Of the circular ad-
dressed from the insurance depart
ment is not to urge the passage in
this state of the model law, which is
being drafted for the consideration
of the convention of insurance COM
missioners, but to gather an express
sion from the membership of these
societies as to whether the rates
which they shall pay for insurance
shall be based upon some mortality
table which has been compiled from
the experience of the societies
throughout the country, and which
will insure in every instance an ade-
quate rate and guarantee the fulfill
ment of the benefit certificates or pol
icies of insurance which may be is
sued by these societies.
Should Interest Every Member.
This question is one which serious
ly concerns each member of every
fraternal society in Oregon, as it
deals with the problem as to whether
the rates which they are contributing
for the protection of their families
are sufficient to guarantee the pay
ment of benefits beyond their demise. |
Many of the associations have COM
menced business with rates which
we're shown at later date to be far
from sufficient to meet the calls upon
he society, and, have, consequently, |
been increased at various times.

tributions by assessments from the
membership in Oregon during the
year 1909, and the total amount of

Proposed improvements

Among the improvements that
are expected to be made at Fort
Stevens during the present are the
construction of additions to the
quarter-master's storehouse and to
the guard house. A request has also
been made to the department for
permission to install water drainage
and sewer systems at the fortifica-
tions. These requests have not yet
been passed upon and owing to the
policy of economy that is being
talked by the various governmental
departments, it is feared the pro-
posed improvements will not be al
lowed this year.

SPORT BRIEFS

Sam Berger is identified with a
brother in the haberdashery business
in San Francisco and he invests the
greater part of what he secures from
his labors in managing James JEFF
fries in placing additional stock in
this store.
Catch and Farmer Burns both
hail from the state of Iowa and If
you want trouble on your hands just

jim Jeffries cut out smoking
cigarettes just about year and a
half ago. The. resolution to quit
was passed in California when he
asked Fred Mair, a prominent sport
ing man, for a cigarette. Mair's
cigarette case was empty and upon
learning it Jeff said: "Well, am
going to cut the pills out anyhow, 4"
and he did.
Jack O'Brien when drinking with
friends, use to call for ginger ale,
but the dispenser of drinks behind
the bar always knew that it was a
signal for something stronger and
gave it to him.
Sammy McClintock use to be man
ager for Dick Hyland and he had "a
brogue that was as thick as Harry
LADDERS. The trouble with Sammy
was that he lost his head too quick
and Hyland had to give him up as a
manager.
Joe Cans has a dislike for hat
but likes a cap and he is generally
to be seen at all seasons of the year,
wearing that kind of heargear.

when Abe Attell drew in 20 rounds
with him in Los Angeles and he
made visit to all the sport writer's
in the newspaper offices and asked
them to favor him in their write-up
of the affair, but they did not.
Whatever else may be said of Joe
Cans he can not be pronounced a
black man with a happy face, be-
cause he looks as though he was on
the verge of sobbing.
Jack Johnson before he became
known as much of a fighter, used to
raise his hat TO almost any kind of
a whiteman, But it is different now

Willie Britt tried hard to land the
position that Sam Berger now has,
the managership of Jeffrles, but
JEFF thought he was little TOO spec
tacular.

average fighter-when it comes 10
