land. The cost of this work will be
approximately $4,000. Bids will al
80 be called for for the drainage ditch
north OF the town. The drainage
ditch is in the Brownell district and
will be from three to four miles long
This will be let by competitive bid
and will make work for a number OF
men and teams.
The construction of the fifth unit
has been contemplated for two years.
This land was not included in the
Umatilla project when the project was
lirst laid out. the recommendations
for this unit have been mailed to
Washington and everything is in
shape for the authorization to go
ahead with the work. 1t win take
some time, however, before the oilI-
cials at Washington will be able to
pass on this on account of the red
tape that 1t will first have to pass
through.
1t Is expected that soon the an
nouncement of the opening of the
west extension will also be made.
Ii is understood that the signing up
for water with the government Is
nearly finished with the exception of
the railroad lands and corporation
lands. Mr.. Elmer p. Dodd has been
in Portland for the last two months
and 1t is understood that he has sign
ed up nearly 1000 acres of this land,
mostly being small tracts of land.
This with the railroad land and the
Irrigon lands will make up the 80 per
cent which is required by the govern
ment.
The opening of these lands will be
a great boom for the city of Hermis-
tom and for the Umatilla project.
There are several hundred acres OF
homestead land that will be thrown
open to entry and some the best lands
around Hermiston and within short
distance of the city.

close of a meeting of liberals, sup

number of conservatives who favor
the reelection of President Gomez.
The fight was precipitated by the
conservatives attempting to force the
liberals from the sidewalk in front of
the Hotel Ingleterra. The battle rag

DOUBLE REPORTS IN FIRING
Curious Effect Produced by Use Of
Maxim sIIencer During Target
Practice.

Taking as his text the double report
noted during the firing on the battle
ship North Carolina during the recent
aerial target practice, Hiram Percy
Maxim writes: "Our experiments
with the Maxim silenoer have devel-
oped many other interesting cases.
For example: II rife equipped
with a silencer is fred down a rail-
road track having telegraph poles
along the side there is a distinct
crack heard for each telegraph pole.
If the rife is fired from an open field
with a tree or a clump Of bushes at,
say, 200 yards, there is heard a crack
from this clump of trees If there are
several detached clumps Of trees or
bushes over the open field, there will
be heard a crack for each of them.
If, instead Of firing parallel with the
ground, the gun is elevated and fired
noise at all, except the fall of the ham
mer and the puff of the gases escap-
Ang from the silencer.
THE reason for this is probably as
follows In the ordinary gun the re-
port noise is so loud that 1t engulfs all
other sounds, and we are conscious of
nothing but report noise itself 1t is
not until this report noise is annulled
that We can hear the bullet fight
noise. This latter noise, being made
out in the air beyond the gun. can
come back to the shooter only by re-
aection
'1f there is one object, we get one
reflection and one noise. If there are
many separate objects, we get many
separate reflections and separate
noises, II there are no refecting OBJ
| jects, such as when shooting straight
up into the air. then we get no re-
| flected noise"
