Work Discontinued.

Hermiston, Ore, Sept. 9.-Much
interest has been aroused in this town
today by the news that the working
crews on the Coyote -Stanfield cutoff
have been called in and sent to other
places. In response to orders received
from head o. r. q N. officials all
work on the cutoff has been discon-
-tinued and the various crews weIe
laid off last evening. The men and
equipment will be sent to other places
where construction work is now on.
The news of the stopping of work
on the cutoff has caused much specula-
tion here. The reason for the order
has not been given and it is not known
whether it is a retrenchment order or
not. At first it was presumed that
the order was issued because Of the
probability that the Umatilla project
will be extended to the west side of
the river. However, IL is understood
that the cutoff plans would not
interfere with the extension or with
the proposed reservoir site.

FOREST FIRES
UNDER CONTROL
Light Damage to Mer-
chantable Timber
Ranges Injured.

The Blue Mountain forest fires in the
Umatilla National Forest and contiguouI
territory are now entirely un der control
Supervisor ChidseY informs the
Gazette that all Of the fire fighters en-
ployed by the government have been
called in.
Comparatively speaking, the damage
to merchantable timber has been light.
The ranges have been destroyed 10
places which works hardship on stock
men. The principal damage to ranges
IS on private holdings.
The fire in the vicinity of Herren's
mill covered about one and one hafsec-
tions. On Little Potamus the fire ran
over about four sections, destroying a
small amount of timber.
East of Long Greek near Susanville,
the fire burned over two sections de-
stroying about 400, O,OOO feet of merchant
able timber.

Oregon Will Grow.

Follow ing the recent visit to this
city of the party of eastern capitalists
owning and controlling the stock and
bonds Of the Pacific Power s. Light
company. which recently acquired
ownership of the light plant of this
city and Walla Walla, and who own
light and power plants all over Oregon
and Washington. S. 2. Mitchell has
made the following statement accord
ing to an account which recently
appeared in the Portland Journal.
That during the next 10 years Ore
gon.will enjoy growth greater than
that Of any other state Of the Union
is the prediction of the head Of the
largest power and light corporation
in the world. That prediction was
made by s. 2. Mitchell. president Of
the Electric Bond and Share company
of New York city. which e0ntrOls
the American Power & Light company
Pacific Power & Light company. /.
Portland Gas & Coke company. and
a multitude Of subsidiary oRganiza-
tions.
For 10 years. at FEAST ssid Mr..
Mitchell. Oregon will grow faster
than any other state in the United
States Washington not exoeDted.
Railroad developments will make it
grow. Il cannot help growing"
One Of the greatest undertakings
of the American Power & Light com
pany. which entered the western fifld
six monthssAeo and now owns millions
OF dollars worth of light and power
plants. will be the irrigation of
approximately 900. 600 acres Of arid
land ia the Columbia river basin, As
that strip on both sides of the river
from The Dalles, Or, to Priest River,
Wash, is called. Bv the aid Of cleo
tricity the arid land will be reclaimed.
