The tariff received a great deal Of

moral issue rather than a political eX.
pedient one which the entire country
must consider patriotically az the
cause Of all the economic evils borne
today. He does not insist upon i'm

but a gradual revision downward un-

the tariff and the high cost Of living
az the leading issues Of today. but Of
course, he gave much attention to
the labor problem, to the attacks
which have been made upon him as
a free-trader, upon the criticisms
Of Colonel Roosevelt and the policies
of his opponents In the regular re-
publican party.
1t is known that he will take a
personal interest in directing the cam
paign for his election. Although the
bulk Of the responsibility Is in the
hands of new and younger men, there
is a belief in politics that these men
are not to disregard the advice and
counsel Of old hands at the political
game.

SCOUTS TO SIGNAL FROM
Hilltop IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

Old Home Week in New Hampshire
will have a new feature this year.
Boy Scots will be used to signal from
one town to another. so that relay
messages can be sent from one end Of
the state to the other. The idea was
originated by Frank w. Rollins, for
mer governor. who suggested it to the
president of the Boy Scouts of Mar
chester. His idea is to have the BO.-
Scouts of Manchester gather on the
top of Rock Rimmon, another troop
on Oak Hill and still another on the
elevation on the south Of Manchester.
The boys will be under the charge Of
Scoutmaster. and will light bon
fires at a given time. In addition they
will use rockets for signaling from
one troop to another II Is hoped that
Boy Scouts will occupy points OF
advantage on the hill and mountain
tops throughout the state and will re-
ceive signals from one another

TEEL PROJECT IS
NOT ABANDONED

That the so-called Teel irrigation
project which proposes to utilize the
waters of Camas creek in the recla-
nation of land along Butter creek
has not been given up was proved to-
day when o. d. Teel, the father of the
project, appeared before the county
court to take preliminary steps toward
securing the creation of a public ir-
rigation district under a law just re-
Gently passed. owing to the fact that
the law has not been brought, into
actual use here in Umatilla county
before, the commissioners are not IA
miliar with its terms, hence no de-
finite action had been taken up until
press time.
The purpose of the Teel project is
to take the water of Camas creek,
which flows throug the southern part
of the county near Ukiah, convey ii
by tunnel through the mountains and
empty it into Butter creek near its
head 1t is estimated that this ad-
ditional water will irrigate 10000
acres lying along Butter creek for a
ulSNdICe VI % llllless L al VI biit i"hu
Is now under cultivation but it Is
believed that with a little additional
water on it. it's crops will be doubled
or trebeled.
The public irrigation district is
formed in some such manner as Is
the school district and by the pro-
visions of the law under which 1t is
possible, each land owner in It,.
whether he own ten or a thousand
acres, is entitled to but one vote in
the election of officers and directors.

you knew how it would end before it
was half through? You were disap-

of it over and over again. The story
