BIG PROJECT FOR
MALHEUR COUNTY
TO Be FINANCED
The Construction of Irriga-
ton Works Will Bring
10000 Acres of Fine Land
Under Cultivation.

Ontario, Nov. 17.-The proposed
Warm Springs irrigation project in
Malheur county at the present time
occupies the foremost position in the
thought Of the people Of this county.
The project seems now to have an ex-
cellent prospect of being successfully
financed. It's construction and COM
pletion will mean much to Ontario and
Vale.
AS at present proposed this project
comprises 10000 acres of the finest
land in Malheur county. Twelve thou
sand acres Is directly tributary to On
tario, and $4,000 acres is tributary to
Vale.
1t Is understood from a trustworthy
source that negotiations are being
conducted with view of including as
part of this project the 10000 acres
near Nyssa that como under what is
locally known as the old proposed
High-Line canal. That would make
Of this $4,000 acre project.
OF the original 10000 project, 10000
acres now have a partial water right
In the event the project is built these
$4,000 acres will receive a complete
water right, together with $4,000 acres
of new land.
The Warm Springs project,is con-
sidered by the government and private
engineers who have completed a joint
survey of 1t, as being one of the most
feasible as we'll as least expensive
projects in the west. The joint esti-
mate by these engineers after a most
exhaustive examination, Is that the
10000 acre project can be completed fol
S750,000, or $25 per acre. This includes
the building of a fully adequate re-
servoir at Warm Springs on the Nal.
heur river near Riverside. Ore, and the
distribution system complete-canals
etc.
The directors Of the project are ad.
,vertising the sale of a $750,ooo bono
issue to build 1t. They feel confiden
of being able to sell the bonds at 8
good figure
4 Added interest was given this pro.
ject through a talk made in Ontario {
few days ago by Judge VIII r. King
Schief counsel at Washington for tn,
reclamation service. Judge Kin,
pointed out that the reclamation ser
vice considers the Warm Springs pro
ject in this county as one of the mos
feasible and least expensive in thu
west. Judge King made 1t known tina
the time for securing government ait
for this project is now ripe.

RAILWAY SERVICE
TOBE DISCUSSED
BY BUSINESS men
National Chamber of Com
merce to Take UP All
Phases of Railroad Situa-
ton at Session.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Reflecting the
interest of the country at large are res
olutions coming into Washington from
trade bodies requesting further action
by the Chamber. of Commerce of the
United States on the railroad situation.
The requests are q forerunner OF a
meeting of the chambers national
council to be held In Washington the
latter part of next week at which there
promises to be a vigorous discussion of
all phases of the railroad controversy
including proposed ant-strike lesisla-
ton.
In addition to the national council
meeting November II and IL provision
has been made by the national chamber
for a committee to study the railroad
problem in all phases ursued by the
Joint congressional committee of which
Senator Newlands is chairman and
which Is to convene in Washington
November 20.
PROMINENT ORGANIZATIONS ACT
The petitions from trade organiza-
tons appear to represent no particu-
lar section of the United States more
than another, and national as we'll as
local bodies are being heard from
Many are in response TO q proaocas'
invitation from the Railway Business
association and the New York Mer-
chants association to other commercial
bodies to join in a request for actor

over areas corresponding to trafnc
movement. Finally, 1t is recommended
that congress having chosen to leave to
private capital the function of provid-
ing the people with rail highways
should insure reasonable extensions Of
such highways into new regions as well
as the Improvement of existing roads
by declaring 1t by statute the policy Of
the government to permit such sys-
tenn of rates as will yield earnings SUI
ficient to attract investment for new
construction.
ANTI-sTRIkE PLAN OUTLINED.
The Merchants association of New
York has sent to other commercial or
ganizations throughout the country
copies of pamphlet containing the
resolutions adopted by the association
In support of the plan for preventing
the interruption, by strikes, Of the OPP
Grafton of public utilities, together with
an outline by Henry r. Towne of New
York, telling how the plan might he
carried into effect.
| Briefly, 1t provides for the enforce
ment of a contractual relation between
employers and employees on public util-
tiles. It Is suggested not SO much as q
final solution of this important ques-
ton, although the Merchants associ-
alton hopes it may prove to be such a
solution, but as means Of bringing
the matter forward for discussion. The
association has asked the Chamber Of
Commerce Of the United States to sub
NIT the question to it's constituted
members in the form Of referendum
in order that the sentiment Of the bus
mess mon Of the country may be as
certained. It has also asked other or
CARNATIONS to Join In requesting such
a referendum.
The Merchants association has de-
clared in favor of giving the fedora
government, through the interstate
commerce commission, control ovel
railroad rates and regulation within
state limits. This would do away WITH
large number of vexatious matters
arising from the conflict between fed
eral and state authorities over lines o.
transportation. The Merchants asso.
citation is in favor of the federal incor'
poration OF railroads; federal supervi.
sion of the issue of securities by inter.
state carriers; the enlargement of tn,
interstate commerce commission SO a:
enable 1t promptly and adequately t.
perform its functions: and strongl.
opposes government ownership of pub
lie utilities.
DISCUSS SITUATION.
Typical of the manner in which com
! mercial organizations all over tn
country are discussing the railroad sit
uation at the present time is the ex
preston of Charles F. Weed, presiden
of the Boston Chamber of Commerce
He said:
, Strikes and lockouts must cease.
/ Is my hope that the Boston Chamber 0
Commerce may assume the Leadership
in proposing and securing Legislation
which will sound the death knell o
strikes and lockouts in public servic
! corporations in Massachusetts.
r should also do its part toward securing
national legislation to the same an
: with regard to public service corpora
tions engaged in interstate commerce.
Early indications are that the ma
tional council meeting In Washington
will be largely attended.

the contesting cars in the Giants De-
spair hill climb Saturday, Oct. Z, was
made by the Maxwell, with Ben F.
(BulD Durham driving. Two firsts,
two seconds and a fourth were captur-
ed by this mount, the lightest of all

rivals to the limit.
Maxwell won first honors in the 23o
and 500 inch classes, second honors in
the 800 and $50 inch classes and fin
ished fourth In the free for-all.
In speaking of the contest, the Phila-

the most sensational showing of the
day for a car of its class was that of

who handled the. car with such skill
that 1t captured two firsts, two Sc
conds and finished well UP to the front

powerful cars"
LOOKED LIKE A RABBIT.
Durham's car look ed a good deal like
a scared rabbit In it's flight up the per-
ilous slopes OF Giants Despair. Part
of the time all four wheels were off the
ground, but the pilot took all turns at
terrific speed. The car was easily the
favorite among the crowd of 10000
spectators.
Durham and his car added to their
honors by making the third best time

One prominent Republican said he

stamping out Wisconsin in this
county once and forever.
A representative from the Indianap.

was in the city this morning. He said
that the support being given to Wat

parts of the county. Since the with

STINCS BANKS
FOR ABOUT $50

For passing four forged checks. Sc
curing $50. B. G. Bowling is wanted by
the Richmond authorities. Two local
banks and two mercantile establish
ments were Bowling's victims. One
bank was "stung' for $35, the other
bank and the two business concerns

The last seen of Bowling was the day
following the heavy sleet storm last
week when he was waiting for train,
five hours late. to go to Peoria, Ill. II
the case had been reported to the po-
lice as soon as it was discovered that
the checks were forged they would

While in Richmond Bowling wore

represented himself to be military in
structor at school in Lexington, KY.
He said he had money in a Lexington
bank. He induced Richmond barber
to cash two checks for him at two
local banks. Bowling himself cashed
the two checks at the two business
houses.

check given to him by Bowling he re-
marked to the teller of the bank that

for that body to appoint new county
central committee.
The county committee tonight Will
also discuss the candidacy of ]. Frank
Hanly for the Progressive guebernato-
rial nomination The adoption of a
resolution dispproving his candidacy
would not be surprising, it is said.
Being an honest mn and firm in
his political convictions, l was not
surprised over the action of Mr.. Foulke
in refusing to seek the Progressive
senatorial nomination on a platform
which did not contain an initiative
and referendum plank as demanded by
Hanly," said Alfred Bavis, who has
been affiliated with the Progressive
party since it's organization.
''The real Progressive platform Is not
elastic enough to permit it's stretching
to provide room for such a man as
Hanly. l also regard his selection as
gubernatorial candidate as a slap al

Progressive party in this state than

Mr.. Beveridge and, as a result, of the
Progressive party. I understand that

nation to Hanly, Mr.. Beverage ~

"The impudence of Hanly's accept
ance of the offer made to hin
by Chairman Lee is astound
ing to me- Briefly he agrees tC
run on platform shorn of one of the
cardinal principles of the party, then
reserves for himself the privilege Of
withdrawing his candidacy if either
of the old line parties, the Republican
or Democratic, include a statewide
prohibition plan in it's platform"
"Mr. Hanly carefully provided looI
hole for himself to crawl out of the
Progressive party, and hope he finds
occasion to make good use of this looI
hole" commented Mayor Robbins.

condition." laconically remarked Johr
