Traction Company
E,s.. Still is WditinQ

4. No official notifications of the with
drawal of the power sites of the Wash
ington- Oregon traction company has
yet been received, but Washington ad-
lished in the Evening Statesman to the
effect that they have been taken from
the entry lists Until such formal noti-
fication is rece ved, there will be no
formal action taken by the company
in abandoning their claims. in case
such a step should be considered even
then Work has already been for some
time discontinued on account of the
cold and snow in the mountains, but
whether or not it will be resumed in
the spring is not yet known.
At present the citizens of Pendleton
are trying to raise $4,000 that the
company has asked. to help build the
road. The withdrawal of the power
site land has had a tendency to put
damper on this proposition, it is said,
and the time for raising the money, al
ready once extended, may have to be
heightened again.
Directors of the road refuse to make
any statement as to whether the pro-
ject will be continued or given up; but
it is probable that fight wili1be mace
to have the land restored to- entry; and
in that case the work will be resumed
at once.

Democracy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-(Special to
the Statesman n.)-Washington political
circles are still agog over the unprece-
dented democratic gain developed in
the recent special election in the sixth
congressional district of Missouri. A
special election was made necessary
by the death of Representative David
A. DeArmond
The issue having been the Payne
.Aldrich- Smoot tariff law, the outcome
of the election is of national political
Importance. The democratic candidate,
State Senator c. C. Dickinson, won
by a majority of 1888 over his repub-
lican opponent, which is the largest
majority that the counties composing
the sixth Missouri district have given
a democratic candidate irr twenty
years,
The following table giving the DEM

Annual Payments.
The contract provides that the city
shall pay $26,712 for the tract of 33
acres, or an average of $500 per acre,
the payments to be due in installments
of $2,500 payable on the first of Dec
ember of each year, beginning with
December, 1910 Interest is at the rate
of 6 per cent per annum. The tract
adjoins the present cemetery on the
west and is on level, making it pos
sible to supply water by merely en-
larging the present reservoir.
Some of those who opposed the pur-
chase of the land by the municipality
did so, it is said, because they were
interested in the proposed organiza-
ton of a cemetery association, but
they entered no formal complaint with
the council. Property owners of the
Prospect Heights neighborhood petit
toned the council not to make the pur-
chase, as it would result in depre-
citation of their residence property, but
this was over-ruled and the ordinance
placed on final passage.

PHENOMENON
IN FINDING WATER
Farmers at Head of Escalante Desert
Are Puzzled as Result of the
Recent Experiments.

In a petition received by the state
land board from farmers near Cedar
City, Iron county, a peculiar phenom-
enon is discovered through the failure
OF the settlers 10 find water in some
places The land is at the head OF the
Escalante desert. Dry farms are be-
ing established there in considerable
mum bers, and some OF the settlers have
had no difficulty in striking water in
drilling less than 100 feet. But 9TH
ers, just a few hundred yards away,
have failed utterly TO get water, though
they have sunk wells for about 200 feet
Through an investigation by Caleb
Tanner. state engineer, it has been
found that there is q well defined line
running through this section. on one
side of which the water is to be found
but on the other side no moisture re-
wards the efforts of the farmers.
one man is now digging a we'll and
VIII 60 800 feet. according TO a letter
received by the board yesterday. In
case no water is struck al that depth.
he says he win make a proposition TO
the land board 20 go 300 feet farther
in the nope OF finding water and es-
tablishing the fact that it can be found
throughout that section OF the desert.
