Reclamation Project Town
Commercial Association
Sends Message to Taft.
URGE IMMEDIATE RE-
APPORTIONMENT OF FUND
Prompt Action Necessary to Save Wa
ter Rights-Value Of Lands Set
Out-Reclamation Service Offic-
al Declares Project is Best in Unit
ed States-Remarxable Climate and
Market Conditions Cited.
Especial Correspondence.)

Hermiston, Ore, Jan. THE fol-
lowing telegram was sent to Presi-
dent Taft today by the Hermiston
Club, G. H. Upthegrove, secretary
President william II. Taft.
Washington, d. c.
We urge re-apportionment Of the
reclamation fund giving sufficient
amount to start work on the extension
OF the Umatilla irrigation project In
order to save water rights Of UNA
tile river to the government which
will otherwise be lost next August.
Ninety per cent of west side extension
Is public land and railroad lands,
easily acquired by settlers of moder-
ate means. Each twenty acre tract
Is capable of sustaining a family Of
five and has a possible valuation Of
five hundred dollars per acre In five
years after water is served. This is
in fact the original Umatilla project
and is in no sense to be considered a
new scheme. But in order to conserve
and distribute water from some source
of supply most economically joint op-
Grafton of present project with the ex-
tension is demanded.
A. p. Davis has just said that It Is
the best project in the United States,
and all reclamation officials agree
with him. Army engineers did not
see this land when here at Her
miston nor had they time to investi-
gate its real merits Of proposed ex-
tension. All land is less than six
hundred feet in elevation; the climate
Is most equitable in northwest with
two hundred and forty days of grow
Ing season. Our big markets are only
eight hours distance with both river
and rail transportation. Present
Umatilla project is proving a great
success but lands under the extension
are really better. We have valuable
data, information and maps, wire to
us II you care to have any of these.

ACTRESS SCORNS HER
LOVER, KING MANUEL
WOMAN FOR WHOM THRONE
WAS RISKED IGNORES HIM
Crowded Londop Theater Witnesses
the Open Affront to the infatuated
Dethroned Monarch of Portugal.

London, Eng, Jan. 7.-Gaby Des-
Lys, the actress for whom King Man.
uel risked and lost the throne of Por-
tugal, has deserted the former king,
it was learned today. The music hall
dancer recently came to London and
scorned her lover before a crowded
theater. He was attending the per-
formanc with Marquis De Several and
met Gaby there. He rushed over to
her but she calmly gathered up her
wraps and walked away while he at
tempted to speak ardent words to her.
Because the young king had become
infatuated with her he brought her to
the Portuguese court. The populace
became inflamed and the revolt ran
its course without loyalists to pre-
vent.

$4,000 for the Roundup. Let
'er buck"
Such a slogan would epitomize the
meeting held last night of the finance
committee and board of control Of
the Roundup with a large represent
tation of the business men of Pendle-
ton for the purpose of discussing
methods for the financing Of the purs
chase and improvement Of the per-
manent grounds for the annual from
tier exhibition. The result Of this
discussion was the dividing Of the city
into ten districts, each one of which
is to be canvassed thoroughly by
separate committee for subscriptions
to the Roundup fund in a whirlwind
campaign which is to begin Tuesday
and continue through three days.
$4,000 is the amount needed to make
a first payment on the grounds re-
Gently purchased and to construct
the track, grandstand and bleachers,
and from the sentiments expressed at
the meeting last night 1t will be the
easiest $4,000 ever obtained in this
city for public enterprise.
Much Enehusiasm.
Chairman Hartman OF the finance
committee presented the matter to
the business men who had gathered
last night, explaining that it was abb
solutely necessary that the directors
of the association have the assistance
and cooperation of the business men
in order to raise the needed money.
The response to his request was in
stantaneous The Roundup spirit
was again in evidence. Man after
man arose and signified his wiling
ness to contribute time, money and
effort to the success of the show. All
seemed to realize the value of the en-
terprise to the city and were emphatic
in insisting upon seating and sleeping
accommodations for the immense
crowd which will be in attendance
September 2S, 29 and 80.
Decide on Subscription.
The final concensus of opinion was
that the best method of raising the
$4,000 was by taking subscriptions
among the business men, as that part
of the citizenship will benefit most
from the success of the annual show.
Accordingly the city was divided into
ten districts, a business block to
ulStIlCt, anu u Special COIIlIllItee dp-
pointed to canvass each.
The amount subscribed is not to be-
come due Immediately nor all at once
but is to be made in five payments,
the first on February and the others
on the first of the four following
months. This will cover over the
| period of construction, bringing in
the funds only as needed, and maxi
| ing the payments much easier on the
subscribers. $1,000 is to be paid to
W. F. Matlock out Of this subscrip-
ton as the first payment on the II
acre tract which was purchased from
him and a mortgage is to be given on
the land for the remainder of the
| $4,000.
A Whirlwind Campaign.
During today and Monday Chair
man Hartman and the others of the
general finance committee will make
preliminary canvass of the business
section of the city, but the real cam
paign will not begin until Tuesday

monthly salary during the year l9Ol-2
while we were building the o. & c. c.
