Many who oppose reclamation by the

by the belief that we become the bene'

Too Much Gambling.

You may ask how I know these
things. 1 have been trying to find out
the reason why there was such a diff.
ference in the price of Pacific coast
hops and the hops that are grown in
the other hopgrowing sections of the
world. This year have communicated
with number Of dealers and brewers,
not only of the United States but Of
other countries, and have found so far
that the Pacific coast is the only hop.
growing section of the world that con.
tracts hops and that the short selling
and gambling is confined principally
to the Pacific coast hops. That con.
sumption and production governs the
markets Of the hop producing sections
of the world, except the Pacific coast,
and here speculation governs it. For
reference, / could give a number of
them, but I will give you one from
Canada. Post mark December 80: you
will find duty on hops is 7c per pound
and they pay from 26c to Csc per pound
paying freight and duty at this end. I
asked them about taking some from
you, but they all have contracts with
hop firms in the old country.

Oregon s Experience.


The Carey Act was passed by Con-
gress in 1894. 1t was accepted by an
act of our legislature in 1901. The first
withdrawal was made in April 1902.
Since that time, or curing a period of
fourteen years, temporary and perma-
nent Withdrawals aggregating 100000
acres have been made. And while there
are $3s5,000 acres still withdrawn, but
two small concerns, (Brownell Desert
Reclamation Association, and the Des
Clates Reclamation and Irrigation Com
pany) have fully completed their pro-
jects, the total acreage involved in
the two completed projects being but
1920 acres.
While, as has been shown, hundreds
of thousands Of acres are withdrawn
from entry for the purpose of reclama-
tion under the Carey Act, practically
work is at standstill and little or
nothing is being done towards the ulti-
mate reclamation of the lands.
How Shall Lands Be Reclaimed?
Three avenues only appear to be open
for the reclamation of the Carey Act
lands in this state;
l. Through private corporations.
2. Through the state.
3. Through the federal government,
Experience has shown that as a rule,
reclamation through private corpora
tions is a dismal failure, and such
method should be abandoned.
1t has been demonstrated through the
experience of the state in reclaiming
the lands taken over from the refunct
Columbia Southern Irrigation Company,
that the state can do far better work
in less time and at less cost to the set
tiers than can the private corporations
If the state can successfully construct
these irrigation projects, there is no
reason why they should not be con
ructed in a like manner by the fed
eral government, or through state and
federal cooperation.

WHY They Keen Prlces Down.

" Now, growers, is it reasonable to
think that they will pay from 4Oc to
4Sc for hops and then deliver at zee
to 2scl Not unless they have it to do.
Hop dealers pay New York, England,
Germany, Bohemia and all the other
hop producing section of the world ac.
cording to consumption and production,
and on the Pacific coast they buy them
for song and sing it themselves. They
are very careful to not hit high
chord here. They all seem to natural

year especially according to the pitch
they are singing in other places.

"Now then hopgrowers, there is a
reason for these things. What is It if

The C0mmerc
Banque
Club

The Commercial Cla' Quet that
was held at the Current .liv' hotel on
last Thursday night was awe attended
and was a success in every iy, in fact,
it would be impossible to gei better
crowd and a more enthusiastic spirit
than what dwelt there that evening,
There was something over hundred
tickets sold by the committee that was
selected for that purpose, but only 50
pertook of the excellent four course
luncheon that was served by Mr.. and
Mrs. Ellis, proprletors Of the hotel.
DR.. S. A. Proctor was toas,master,
and he performed his part exceedingly
well. There was great many on the
program and each were only allowed
few minutes to talk on lack of time, the
speeches being made between the
courses.
Some mighty good speeches were
made by the speakers Of the evening,
and several good things we're pledged to
be done this year, among them being
to favor government aid in building
good roads, and probably the most i'm
portant of all, as good roads mean
big thing to both town and country,
and another was to favor the establish
ment of several rural routes out from
this office to different parts of the couu-
ty, ana this is good move as it helps
the farming class Of people as we'll as
it helps to keep the good road spirit
alive, as the governments demands
pretty good road before it will establish
a route, and sill another was to ask the
county court to levy the six dollar road
tax, but as objection was made to this,
on the grounds that the club had no
right to make such request, the
resolution was promptly Withdrawn.
At the close of the banquet the elec-
tlon OF officers for the year was held
and the following were elected:

School Building Burned,

The Simpson Creek school house,
located about 3 miles north OF this city,
was destroyed by fire last Saturday
evening about 0 o'clock.
The origin Of the fire is not known,
but it is supposed that some one set it
on fire, as there has been quite a little
trouble in that district in regard to
school matters.
Acting on the theory that it was set
on fire, sheriff Williams sent to the
Bluff for blood hound and went out
Sunday to try to locate the guilty party,
but was unable to do so, as the hound
only trailed short distance.
The building was quite an old struct-
ure and the loss did not amount to
much.

medicine several years. He engaged
in the practice of his profession here,
and for many years conducted drug
business, and it was in his place Of

He was graduate of the Cincinnati

became famous in the Spanish-Amerl-
can war were young lieutenants on the
same boat with DR.. Dennis.
Before the war he travelled in the
south as special correspondent for
the Cincinnati Enquire, and through
his articles on the great possibilities OF
the south attracted much attention in
the north to the southland.
The body was brought to Doniphan
Sunday, and the funeral was held from
the Presbyterian church, Of which he
was member. the services being con-
