MEETS FATHER AFTER so YEARS
San Pedro Woman Greeted George
FiFman, French Gulch Miner.

Having paid weeks visit to her
father, George Firman, of French
Gulch, and seen him for the first
time in over 80 years, Mrs, H. w.
Scott of San Pedro, accompanied by
her husband, was in this city Friday
evening en- route home, says the Red
ding Searchlight. Mrs. Scott tells
that when she parted with her father
she was little girl living in the east.
He sought the gold mines of Califor-
mia and remained here all of the
time.
The meeting between parent and
daughter was described as an affect
ing scene, which only the unforgotten
love of two related as these could
produce. They were strangers, of
course, in a sense, as neither could
have recognized the other, yet this
difficulty was easy to overcome.
The SCOTS but recently came to
San Pedro from another state. The
husband is a photographer.
Mrs. d. Corliss of French Gulch is
also cousin of Mrs. Scott

BOURNE ASKED TO RUN
Petition by $4,000 Voters Filed With
Secretary of State.

Salem, Ore.-A petition signed by
$1,000 voters, all the signatures OBJ
tanned in five days, was filed here
today with Secretary of State Olcott
urging United States Senator Jona-
than Bourne, Jr., to run for re-elec-
tion on an independent ticket
Bearing upon the petition filed to-
day at the state capital in which 49,
600 of the voters of the state ask
that Senator Jonathan Bourne be-
come an independent candidate to
succeed himself, the Portland Tele-
gram has the following story:
Fourteen thousand people had
signed the petition urging Jonathan
Bourne to be an independent candi-
date for United States senator when
the clock struck 12 today. This num-
| Der had been gathered since last
Tuesday. Either this afternoon or
tomorrow morning A. A. Muck will
! take the petition to Salem and file
the names with the secretary of
state. Then Senator Bourne will have
until next Saturday to accept.
"All the members Of the advisory
committee called on Senator Bourne
last night, carrying the petitions
with them. At that time there were
! 12,8OO names presented. The
committee put the question straight
| up to Bourne whether, in view of
their signatures he would refuse to
be an independent candidate. For
two hours the senator talked with the
committee members, canvassed the
situation and then reserved his de-
cision until Saturday, which is the
last day on which he can become a
candidate. That is the date on which
all acceptances must be in.
! when shown the signatures, SEN
ator Bourne expressed himself as be-
lieving it a sincere and general call
from the people. The petition repre-
sented between IL and Is per cent
of the voters of the state, explained
the committee, with more signatures
arriving daily. Two per cent of the
vote for governor would have been
sufficient to enable Bourne to become
an Independent nominee. Most of
the signatures have been obtained in
Multnomah county"
With the filing of the petition as
announced in the press dispatch
printed above, it leaves the whole
question up to the senator to decide.
He having been duly nominated by
/ petition, only his acceptance of the
nomination is necessary to have his
name appear on the ballot next
month.

NOT SMALL POTATOES.
George Il. Miner Raises Some That
Are Big Ones.

There are some remarkable pota-
toes on exhibition at the office of c..
B, Lamkin. They were grown by
George E. Miner, a rancher living
opposite the normal school. One box
of these potatoes numbers 81 and
they weigh 61 pounds, an average OF
over one pound each. Another ex-
hibit is one hill weighing ten pounds
and ten ounces. The largest of these
potatoes, which consists of several
grown together, weighs four pounds
and six ounces. Who can beat this?

the city library, reports a very de-

possession of the Carnegie building
at the corner of Main and Gesham
streets the number of borrowers was
200 more than for the two weeks pre-

new IRRIGATION PLAN
Land Between Eugene and Albany Is
To Be Watered From the
t7s.- Mckenzie River.

Portland, Ore, Sept. 3O.-An irri-
CATION plan that involves ultimately
putting the 100000 acres between
Eugene and Albany under water out
of the Mckenzie river was announced
Saturday by Leroy Park for the Nc
Kenzie Valley Irrigation Company.
This company, working quietly,
has secured the water rights of the
Mckenzie river for irrigation pur-
poses. 1t also will have available the
which the Hill interests are to install
at the headwarters of the Mckenzie.
1T already has a first unit of
1000 acres ready to put under wa
ter" said NJ. Park recently.
1t has bought 900 acres for demon
stration purposes Immediately ad-
joining Springfield.
The company has engaged the SER
vices of Colonel w. l.. Benham, the
engineer of tho Willamette valley
West Stayton project and of similar
projects near Spokane, as engineer in
charge of construction. Colonel Ben
ham is we'll known in Portland and
lives here.
I'VE are not entering into any
great promotion scheme dependent
for success on noise and bond is
Sues" said Colonel Benham. I'VE
are not going to buy up any great
tract of lands. But we are in posi-
tion to furnish water for all the great
areas as fast as the owners of land
desire it. The electrification plan
for the Willamette valley will bring
in greatly increased population, but
electrification alone will not meet
the need. 1t is a fact that govern
ment reports verify that the rainfall
in the Willamette valley is less dur
ing the dry months than in Colorado
or some of the so-called arid states.
"The Willamette valley gets the
rainfall, but it is not distributed as
it should be to secure the best re-
suits from which is perhaps the rich
est valley in the world. Irrigation
at West Stayton has increased the
yield $50 to 800 per cent l wish,
for the sake of the valley and of
Portland, that it might all be put
under irrigation"
Mr.. Park, former president of the
state board of immigration, says that
irrigation is the most necessary thing
for the development of the William
cite valley. Il put it even before the
electrification," said he. "Abuse OF
irrigation has in some cases given il
bad name, but our plan is to apply
it scientifically and for results. We
do not intend to promote an irriga.
tion monopoly, but merely to meet a
need. also wish that every acre in
the Willamette valley, might be irri-
gated. 1t would make it the richest
valley in the world, would make il
the garden spot of the United States
We propose to proceed persistently
and safely until the entire district is
served"

ITEMS OF INTEREST
FROM THE NORTHWEST
Wheat Crop of the United States can
be Doubled by Crossing With the
Wild WheatS of the Far East

That the wheat crop Of the United
States can be doubled by crossing the
wild wheats of the semi-arid regions Of
the Far east with other grades of this
grain and that crops can be assured in
arid lands and in times OF drouth, is
the possibility shown by the scientific
discoveries OF Prof. Aaron Aaronsohn,
of jerusalem, according to an an
nouncement he made few days ago
at the University of Chicago. Not
only this, but he believes that the
crossing of the wild wheat plant with
other kinds will result in a product
far superior to any now grown. Fur
thermore, his experiments show that
this hybrid grain thrives in rocky, shall
low and dry soil without cultivation.
It means the solution OF the food prob
lem in the arid Oriental countries and
is filled with possibilities for similar
lands in this country. That it would
add to the enormous crops OF Wash
ington is apparent, if the growing
should be as successful here as abroad.
