There have been more lives come
into the world in Umatilla county
during the past year than have gone
out. According to the records kept
by City Physician McFaul the num-
Der of births in the twelve months
just closed exceeds the number Of
deaths by approximately 80. The ex-
act number can not be exactly stated
as the physicians over the county
have not all turned in their December
reports.
The month of September bears the
distinction of giving to the county the
greatest increase in population by vir-
tue of excess of births over deaths,
81 births being recorded to deaths.
March comes in for second honors the
proportion being "a to 13. November,
on the other hand makes the poorest
contribution to the world, only II
lives having been kindled during that
months while 22 were snuffed out.
May and August were neutral, having
the same number of births and deaths
while June seems to have been the
poorest month for the doctor, the
number of births being but and the
number of deaths II.

CONNECTICUT HAVING
LEGISLATIVE FIGHT

Hartford. Conn, Jan. 4.-Accordins
to the leading representatives here
today of the legislative session just be-
ginning, Connecticut is to have one
of the most important sessions in its
history and the eyes of the country
will be directed toward this state tow
ard which such little attention has
been paid by national politicians in
recent years. Governor Baldwin's
record and his politics are among the
important reasons for Connecticuts
being in the limelight.
These are some of the questions
which will come before the legisla-
ture and whose making into law will
also make history for the state: The
employers liability, a new public util-
tiles commission with larger powers,
erected on a firmer base Of law, re-
districting the state for congress, the
election of a United States senator.
The senatorial fight has been the sub,
ject of much canvassing already and
made more famous by certain lead
ing republicans asking Colonel Roose-
welt to keep hands off in the matter.

NEW YORK'S JAILS
CROWDED TO OVERLOOKING

New York, Jan. 4-This state
should prove haven Of delight for
the hobo and all members of the So
ciety for the prevention of work To-
day the fact was disclosed, through a
committee 10 ask the legislature for
increased prison facilities, that the
penal institutions not only of the
state, but Of the city, are more crowd
ed than ever before in their history
The committee is composed of repre-
sentatives of various organizations
whose aim is to restrict the tramp
and the aggressor against law gem
orally.
And what is most interesting this
committee states that the crowded
conditions of the prisons is not due
SO much to the rapid growth of the
large cities of the state as to their
laws and methods of treating crimi-
mails. The Legislature will be asked
to frame new laws or so amend exist
ing ones that can be so executed as to
punish crime in accordance with the
conditions and motives of criminal
acts. The representatives of the va
rious organizations declare that if
the criminal himself were instructed
and educated, SO as to effect avail
able reform in his purposes there
would be larger results for good,
without too great changes in govern
ment.

STANF|ELD SUIT
IS COMPROMISED
ACTION TO FORECLOSE
MORTGAGE is WTTHDRAWN
Robert Stanfield Again Secures Con-
troll of Land Included i'm TOwnsite
Of Stanfield and Several Acres of
Adjoining Farm Land.

That the suit brought by r, n.
Stanfield against DR.. H. w. Coe and
others to foreclose a mortgage he
holds upon town property at Stanfield
has been settled by a compromise is
the substance of a story from Port
land. The following is from a story
published yesterday by the oregon
Journal:
"A compromise effected late this af-
ternoon, practically removes legal
handicap, which temporarily, has re-
tarded the progress of the town OF
Stanfield in western Umatilla county
Within a year this town has develop
ed from sagebrush land to a munich
pality with 500 inhabitants, enjoying
many modern conveniences.
"A few weeks ago Robert Stanfield,
former owner of the townste, began
a legal action against DR.. Henry wal
do Coe, the head of the Columbia
Land company, to foreclose a s55, 600
| mortgage on the townsite and lands
adjoining. embracing 420 acres. The
institution of these proceedings disar-
ranged all development of the STAN
field irrigation project.
when the suit was filed about two
thirds of the lots in the original plat
of the town, comprising 70 acres had
been disposed of by DR.. Coe and a
small portion of the acre tracts ad-
| joining the townsite had been trans
| ferred to newcomers. Robert STAN
field originally had a selling arrange
ment with DIR. Coe for the disposition
of the lots in the townsite on COM
mission basis, and Mr.. Stanfield re-
leased all lands sold under this agree
ment. About a year ago DR.. Coe, fol
the Columbia Land company, pur'
chased the remaining town lots, anG
all of the acreage tracts lying ada
cent. including in all about 400 acres
Only a partial payment was made or
this purchase, and for alleged failure
to perform the specific details of thi
sale, the foreclosure was begun.
by the terms Of the agreemen
Robert Stanfield again secures con
troll of all the land embraced in tn
original sale and new selling com
pany will succeed to the rights for
} merly enjoyed by the Columbia Ian,
company with DR.. Coe as its head. Il
, lieu of payments already made on tn
purchase price and the extensive i'm
provements placed in the townsite b
DR. Coe, he is to have so per cent o
5 the original stock in the new com
: pany and Mr.. Stanfield and his asso
= ciates will have 70 per cent Of tn
r stock, All court proceedings will b
r dismissed as far as the Stanfeld trac
is concerned and the titles to tn
property will be clarified and the ne
$ cessity OF going into court and hay
I ing the land sold under foreclosur
will be avoided"

Letter from Manager Chapman Of
Portland Organization Shows Peo-
pie of Metropolis Are Busy.

Umatilla county will join with the
people of Portland in protesting
against the slight that has been shown
Oregon by the president and those in
charge of distributing the s20,000,000
of reclamation money. Last evening
the Commercial association vested the
extension committee with power to
draft a stirring resolution setting forth
the feelings of the local association
upon the subject. This action was
taken at a brief meeting which was
presided over by T. C. Taylor in the
absence of both the president and
vice president of the association.
At o'clock last evening the men,
bers of the extension committee met
in the committee room at the associa-
ton headquarters. DR.. c. ]. Smith,
,bairmai; nresided and the following
members Of the committee were pre-
ent: D. C Brownell of Umatilld, j.
w. Campbell of Hermistoh, L. t'
Montgomery, George Hartman, Jr.,
and Will Moore of this city.
At the committee meeting the prop
osition was discussed at length and
the various members expressed indig-
nation at the attitude of the govern
ment in refusing to order the extern
sion of the project. 1t was the gen.
eral sentiment that a formal protest
should be made against the action ta-
ken and that furthermore Portland
people should be encouraged to con-
tinue the fight for a redistribution of
the $40 100000 fund. DR.. Smith and
VIII Moore were designated as a sub
committee to draft and forward the
resolutions upon the subject,
At the meeting DR.. Smith reported
he had already wired Senator Bourne
upon the subject and had written to
, Senator Chamberlain at length upon
the subject. Thus far he has had no
reply from either senator.
