INCREASED IRRIGATION
SHOWN IN THE STATE

The census bureau, Z Dana Durand.
director, has just completed the fol-
lowing bulletin Of the statistics of irri-
cation for Oregon:
The Cascade mountain range, which
parallels the coast line and extends
across the state about l25 miles inland,
divides Oregon into two parts. which
differ widely in climatic characteris-
tics. The western third of the state,
lying between these mountains and the
coast is, except in the extreme south
ern part, generally humid, with an
average annual precipitation which is
ample in most sections for the matur-
ing of crops without irrig gation. The
regions east of the mountains, how
ever, are arid or semiarid, and it is in
this section of the state that irrigation
is most widely practiced. Irrigation
was reported in 1909 from all counties
in the state except two, but of the
total acreage supplied with water in
that year about 96 per cent lies east OF
the mountains.
In 1899 the proportion of irrigated
farms was 1873 per cent. while in 1889

IS evident that between 1889 and 1899
the number of irrigated farms in the
state increased at about the same rate
as the number of unirrigated farms.
During the later decade. however, the
rate of increase in the number of irri-
gated farms was almost twice as great
as the number Of unrrigated farms.
OF the "a counties in the state, only
four report more than half the farms
as irrigated; in four the proportion is
between 40 and 50 per cent and in two
II is between 80 ana 40 per cent. In
only six out of the remaining "a coun-
ties are as many as 10 per cent of the
farms irrigated In 10 counties less
than 10 per cent of the farms are irri-
gated, while from two no irrigation at
all is reported. The Is counties last
mentioned are all in the western part
of the state, whereas the counties
which have a large proportion OF the
farms irrigated are in the eastern part.
In Baker county the irrigated farms
form 500 per cent Of the whole number
Of farms, and in Malheur and Hood
River counties, E.7 aud ga per cent,
respectively.
from 1898 10 lJUJ the increase In the
number of farms irrigated was 43. 9 per
cent for the state as a whole. This
per centage was exceeded in seven
counties in which no chane OF boundar-
les took place during the decade, and
in the territory which comprised Wasco
county in 1899 and Wacso and Hood
River c0nuties in 1909 This high rate
of increase was confined almost entirely
to the counties east Of the mountains, |
which together show an increase of |
46.l per cent. Although the counties
west of the Cascades together show an
increase of 1878 per cent, the extern
sion of irrigation in this section was
confined almost entirely to Douglas,
Jackson and Josephine counties.
The greatest absolute increase for
a single county was reported for Una
tilla county. 1856 farms. The territory

River Will Probably Reach Record Mark

The Columbia only lacks a foot or
two of being as high as it was last
summer The stream came up more
than foot night before last and was
rising rapidly last night. The wharf
boat Of the Open River transportation
company moved to the slough north
of the O.-W. K. & n passenger sta
tion several days ago and the Regula-
tor Line boat moved TO the slough last
night. Because OF tte nearness to the
city passage to and fro from the boat
landings during the high water period
is made very convenient.
Because of the heavy SHOWS melting
in the Snake river headwaters the Co
lumbia is expected by local river men
to reach record high water mark this
summer,

Tennis Dance Proves Successful

One of the most successful dances of
the season was that given at the He'll
bronner hall last Friday evening by
the West Side Tennis club. A large
and happy crowd was present and the
series of dances bids fair to prove one
of the most popular ever participated
in in Hood River. The next tennis
party will be held on the evening of
Friday, May 81.
Those who have charge of the dances
are Claude c. Thompson, Frank p. Lu-

OFFERS PURSE
FOR RYAN BOUT

Charles Button, former manager
of Frank Du Cray, and one of the
old heads" of the wrestling game.
has offered $500 purse for match
between Frank Du Cray and Tommy
Ryan of Colorado Springs
Last night Button was in the
Springs and communicated with
Duke" about the match. Du Cray
sienified his Willingness to meet Ry-
an for the purse and empowered But
ton to act for him in making the
negotiations. Button thus has a
right to stage the match wherever he
wants, which will probably be in
Colorado Springs about May 10.
Grand Junction has little or no
chance of seeing the men together
for while at least, as the Springs
will draw a great deal bigger crowd
than this or any other city in the
state.
Ryan, 1t is said, is willing to come
down from his insistence on the
barring of the toe hold since Button
has been talking to him and in all
probability will agree to sign articles
for the bout Immediately.
Du Cray last night removed his
mat to his ranch near Pomona and
is daily going through training stunts
that will put him in the very pink

The Bee on Bryan

Williams Jennings Bryan recently
spoke in Sacramento III behalf OF
the candidacy of Woodrow Wilson
He was given an enthusiastic greet
ing, and for his cause stirred up d
wonderful amount of enthusiasm.
Prior TO the coming OF the Great
Commoner TO CALIFORNIA; capital
city, the Sacramento Bee, with
strong leaning. apparently, to the
cause of the colonel. asked all Sac
ramento to swell the crowd and
give the distinguished visitor the
kind of a welcome he was entitled,
This is the opinion of Bryan held
by the Bee:
All Sacramento and adjoining ter
ritorv should swell the crowd that
will listen to William Jennings
BRYAN tomorrow night
The day has gone past when any
man or woman of intelligence speaks
of the Commoner save with deep
respect for his views: with warm
admiration for his genius; with
strong confidence in his sincerity of
purpose: with increasing faith and
pride in his moral courage.
As an orator, Bryan stands easily
first today.
AS man. he has been tried IN
many a furnace and never found
wanting.
In the convention annals OF
America, no gerater triumph ever
was won than that achieved by Will
liam Jennings Bryan at Baltimore
when he stood. a lion-hearted knight
battling for the Right and Truth
with all the wolves Of Tammany and
the Big interests barking at his
heels: when, single-handed, he drove
that yelping pack back into their
caves: when he snatched victory out
of the Jaws of defeat, and dashed
his enemies and the enemies oil
Righteousness to their knees.
The Bee desires to see Theodore
Roosevelt elected president of the
United States.
But it would not bear false wit
ness against any who view the con
test in another light.
Nor will it hesitate to accord tul
and lust measure of faith to an op-
posing warrior like Bryan--a man
who is a credit and an honor to the
American name; a man who STANDS
an Anak among his followers; mar
who is today the bestowed, the
most niversally-loved American

Tariff and Meat Trust

Vegeterians can afford to laugh at
the portly meat trust, bur the carnl-
verous faction of the human race
face a tougher proposition than was
ever served to them under the gulsc
of sirloin The American meat
trust is permitted by the tariff to
sell meat in this country for a higher
rate than in England. The same
sirloin of beef that sold for nineteen
and one-half cents in London during
August, according to the San Diego
Sun. brought twenty-eight cents in
New York.
There is no tariff in Englnad on
imported meat and the competition
is keen. but even when meat is sold
as low as nineteen cents a pound it
is fair to presume. as none OF the
packers appear to be in the business
Tor their health or amusement. that
4 profit is gained. Australia, New
Zealand and South America supply
the British Isles with fresh meat at
a fair price. and the American trust
that has entered the field and sells
the same cuts of meat to foreigners
for one-third less than to Americans.
People who complain about their
butcher bills should investigate the
tariff question.

RENzoArE oE SODA

In the state of Indiana, where State Food Commissioner H, E. Barnard and the beard of health have been working so hard in the interests of pure food laws, there Is general interest in the recent decision on benzoate of soda. In the report il is held that the state has the right to prohibit the sale of fOodstuffs which contain benzoate of soda. This question as to the danger ous qualities of the preservative has long been before the people and the answer has been eagerly sought as to what it is and what it does. It has been one of the most important ob Jects of attention in the pure-food cru sade. It was first used as a remedial agent but it had come to be exten- sively used as a powerful agent for the stopping of decay which was d. ready under way.
 Most people have no desire to eat food in which decay has developed Expert chemists not in the employ oi the government have testified 10 the danger of the drug. If it is not dan serous it is used to fool the people into believing that food is fit to cal when. as a matter of fact it is not, and through its use the arrested" decay is foisted on the people as a pure ar ticle. The contest on both sides has been hotly fought. and it is likely that the Indiana decision will be appealed for a higher opinion If it is harmfu the drug should not be permitted .r the country. let alone Indiana.
