BRYAN INVITED TO SPEAK
AT IRRIGATION CONGRESS

b. i. Fowler OF Phoenix. Ariz..
president of the National Irrigation
Congress, has extended an invitation
to William Jennings Bryan OF Lin
coin, Neb., to address the 10th annual
convention in Chicago, the second
week of next December, when irrlga-
tonists, farmers, orchardlsts and
stockGrowers will be present from all
parts OF America and foreign coun-
tries.
Mr. Bryan has been interested in
irrigation since 1890, when he made
his first visit to the mountain states
and saw results OF the intensive cultl-
walton under the ditch. He believes
that the work is yet in its infancy
and that the National Irrigation Con-
gress represents an industry of in
creaslng Importance. He predicts
that the movement will continue to
Increase the farm proportion and
make present waste lands fit for rne
homes Of the people.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL
AT OREGON UNIVERSITY
Slender Resources No Bar to Ambi-
tiOus Youth


As a result of the campaign on the
part of the university aiumni to in
crease the loan fund for students to
an amount that will accommodate
every student of the university in
need of help. gifts and the promise
of more within the year to the
amount of $4,000 have already been
secured.
The alumni in backing the move
ment to Increase the loan fund, from
experience realize that there are
many young men and women of the
type that constitute the bone and
sinew of the state, who are deprived
of the highest training in citizenship
which the state can give them, simply
because they are too poor to carry
themselves through the university on
their own resources.
Hand in hand with this movement
for a loan fund is the study by the
university of the cost of living prob
lem for its students. 1t is keenly felt
by the administration authorities that
there $ no real reason why students
struggling for an education should be
lhdue the source or single pennyS
profit to individuals or business con-
Germs, so far as the cost of the stu
dents living at the university is con-
cerned. Much work has been done
and data gathered on the problem,
and it is confidently believed that with
proper initial equipment at the service
of the university, the cost Of living to
students can be kept at a level of the
cost Of the economic goods which
they consume. with this idea in
mind, 1t is hoped that the legislature
at the present session may include in
the special appropriation to be asked
for by the university for building and
equipment a sum to add a kitchen
dining room and storing cellar to the
mems dormitory. The cost would be
about s1O,OOO.-U. of o. Bulletin.

IRRIGATION PRACTICED FOR
THOUSANDS OF YEARS

Irrigation is practical. It has been
practiced successfully since $500 3.
c., and will constantly improve under
scientific development and sane pro-
motion"
August Wolf of Spokane, Wash,
said this in the course of an address
at luncheon by the Chicago Iriga-
tion association at the Union League
club few days ago.
There are today in the United
States and Canada about sixteen mil
lions Of acres of arid and seml-arid
lands under the ditch" he added,
"and competent engineers declare that
fully thirty millions OF acres more
will be reclaimed in the west
"At the lowest estimate this means
an annual wealth-production Of ap-
proximately five billions Of dollars,
which is equivalent to saying that not
only would the cost Of living be cut
in two, but that this nation will be
able to supply food stuffs to the
world"

Roof Blown Off Car.
Yesterdays gale committed other
depredations, also, besides reducing
the old depot building to kindling
timber. Wires were prostrated, limbs
were torn from trees, several trees
in the city uprooted, billboards levelled

the gale tore the roof off Of one OF
the cars and carried it through the

noticed the roof and the broken wires
but did not know until he had pulled
into Pendleton, that one of his own
cars had been scalped.
Live Wire Down.
Among other damage wrought by
the wind was the breaking of two
electric wires on the south Main
street hill. They were discovered
about 10 o'clock by Brook Dickson
and Dale Chessman, sparkling and
sputtering along the sidewalk for
distance of fifty feet. Both boys
had narrow escapes as the wires car
ried 22S0 volts, sufficient to send a
regiment to eternity. The police were
notified and Wade Privett, the young
lineman for the power company,
hurried to the scene and cut the
wires.

TELEGRAMS TO GET

flee is open only during the day. or
where it closes at midnight, the COM
pany has just put into effect n svs-

Telegraph subscribers may send and
receive kilograms over their telephone
wire. These kilograms may be tele-

nection. This facility was originally
extended January /, but certain tele-
phone toll charges prevailed, while
the only charge now is to be for the
telegram itself.

telegraph office, together with in

arrangement is expected to be of es-

subscribers, where all night telegraph
offices are usually far apart and
where the telephone charge demuuy
ed was consequently generally higl
with the result that telegraph patrons
would wait until their local office
opened the following day.
Any pcndleton resident wishing to
avail himself Of the new service can
do so at any time simply by calling
central and asking for the Western
Union office. If the local office is
closed he will be connected with the
office in Walla Walla and can then
send his message in the usual way
without extra charge.

W|NDSTORM DOES
MUCH DAMAGE
OLD DEPOT BUILDING
is BLOWN DOWN
Roof Lifted from Car in Freight
Train-Trees Uprooted, Wires Down
and Billboards Frustrated.

Pendleton ministers of the gospel
should have taken for the text of
their sermons yesterday the parable
of the house founded on the rock and
the house founded upon the sands
and they would have had a concrete
exemplification here in their own city.
In the hardest wind storm which has
swept Pendleton this winter, the old
depot building. which has been oc-
cupied for the past few months by
the Twohy Brothers offices and ware
house, was toppled off of its unsteady
foundation and collapsed with a crash
that was heard all over the city.
While the building>.is a complete
wreck and some damage was done
to its contents, the disaster was in
many respects a very fortunate one.
The old adage which says "the better
the day the better the deed" held
true for once, for had the wind storm
occurred on any day except Sunday,
there would in all probability be loss
Of life and a big conflagration to re-
count as well as the wreck of the
building. AS it was there was no
one in the building yesterday and
consequently no fire in any of the
stoves Had there have been the lat
ter, the blaze famed by the gaze
would have devastated the whole
warehouse district,

noon. Because Of other buildings "

the depot was struck at a different
angle by the wind than were most Of
the other buildings. it being defect
ed in such a way so that It smote tie
old shell full in the face In moving
It to its present location, the struc-
ture had been set up on five foot
piles which at best made a none too
stable a foundation and in the viol-
ence Of such a wind storm proved
much too unsteady. The two story
end Of the building was the worst de-
m0lished, the upperstory crashing
through the lower and leaving but
a pile Of wreckage.
A crowd soon gathered at the scene
and the Twohy men were soon at
work in their office. Their two desks
were not badly injured and the rest
OF their office furniture but little.
The typewriter belonging to Mrs.
Eleanor Redfield who was employed
in the office Of Roadmaster Buhrer in
the second story, was wrecked and
other furniture in the same office
suffered almost as badly.
Building Has History.
Thus ends the history of a building
which has played an important part
in the history of Pendleton. 1t was
built thirty years ago when the rail-
road was constructed through here
and stood on its original location at
the corner Of Main> and Railroad
streets until last fall when it was NOV
ed one hundred yards to the east,
the new brick depot supplanting it
in the service which it had perform
ed so long. At one time the baggage
end Of the building was almost en-
tirely consumed by fire and had to
be rebuilt. The upper story at first
