A Hope. cles to the proposition Of
irrigation upon the Umatil-
Ia reservation.
II is the view Of irrigation engineers
and also of practical irrigauonists
that to irrigate the reservation lands
viii mean to increase the summer
flow Of the river on the witness
stand here last spring H. D. Newell,
project engineer at Hermiston, gave
testimony to this effect. He formed
that view from experience in the west
end OF the county and from what has
been found TO be true elsewhere. II
the contention is right. as it seems to
be. then the local mill has much to
gain through the irrigation OF the
reservation lands. 1t should work for
that development not oppose it
There is a great possibility OF de-
velopment upon the reservation. For
many miles the river flows directly
through a section that is blessed with
every requirement save an abundance
of moisture. There Is water available
IL the proper work is but done and
that work may be carried on so as to
benefit all concerned.

The Portland Oregonian is improv-
ing for it has become sufficiently fair
to admit that while
still Demagogic. there is still some
tariff on grain bags
the duty is much lower than formerly
"On jute bags we paid seyen-eighth
Of cent a pound plus Is per cent;
now We pay 10 per cent. Wheat
comes In free; the bags in which we
ship our wheat are still taxed."-ore-
gonion.
That admission regarding the reduc-
ton In the duty on grain bags is sig
nificant. A few weeks ago the Port
land morning paper was railing as

Payne-Aldrich law imposed no duty on
grain bags. Having discovered that
the new Law Is an Improvement it
could well compliment the farmers Of
the northwest on their good fortune
Instead the Oregonian processes to
commiserateg with them on the fact
the old 25 cents per bushel duty on
wheat has been removed. Since the
bulk OF northwest wheat has been
sold abroad for years despite that
duty thus attesting that the tariff had
no effect on the price and since our
farmers understand this very well 81

SUPPORT OF WILSON.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington-Free sugar in 1916
and free raw wool now are established
In the tariff revision bill, having been
approved by the Democratic caucus OF
the Senate after two days fight.
The sugar schedule as reported by
the majority members of the finance
committee and practically as it passed
the House was approved by vote OF
Il to 6.
Free raw wool, as submitted by the
majority, and just as it passed the
House, swept the Senate caucus by
vote OF Al to 6.
Senator Shafroth continued his fight
in the Democratic caucus in behalf OF
revenue duties on sugar and wool and
Senator Thomas opposed both. In ad-
vocacy of free sugar Senator Thomas
Contended the sugar manufacturers
were operating greatly oyer-capital-
lied concerns. thus making the con
sumers pay higher rates than they
should in order that the producers
might receive dividends on watered
stock
Senator Thomas quoted an editorial
commencing mis- stand for free sugar.
He voted against the Shafroth amend
ment to provide SOC per hundred duty
on sugar and against the Walsh
amendment to place Is per cent. duty
on wool.
Senator Shafroth closed the argu-
ment for duty on sugar. He contended
his amendment for tariff of soc per
hundred on sugar was in accord with
Democratic principles and with the
Democratic national platform. If
adopted, it would save the sugar in
dustry from severe loss and would
save the Democratic party from grave
dangers in sugar producing states
Shafroth's eloquence was without
avail, as only ten senators voted for
his amendment, and but six voted for
the Walsh amendment to place Is per
cent. duty on wool.
The six Democratic senators who
voted against free sugar on the final
vote approving the schedule were
Hitchcock. Neb.; Newlands, Nev.;
Ransdell and Thornton, La; Shafroth,
