OREGON LIKES 1T DRY"

The voters and the residents of Oregon appear to
like the idea Of really dry state, much as the booze
interests dislike it. More than enough signatures
have been secured for petition to place on the No
vernber ballot an amendment TO the present prohbi-
ton law making it unlawful to bring liquor into Ore
gor This will render the state absolutely dry, ex-
cept for the few fugitive cases of bootlegging and
loonshinng always to be found in dry states This
year candidates for the legislature ndorsng even
more stringent statutes than those now in force.

STRAHORN WILL OPEN
Up |NTR|OR EMPIRE
OF OREGON

Swain Beatty returned the latter
part Of last week from Spokane where
he had been on business. While at Spo-
kane, Mr.. Beatty was the guest of Mr.
and Mrs. Robert L. Strahorn, former
residents of Caldwell and old time
friends of Mr.. Beatty.
Mr.. Strahorn, who is one of the
greatest railroad builders the west has
produced, is engaged in promoting the
construction of railroads in the inte-
Tor of Oregon and opening up that
magnificent empire. Mr.. Beatty is
convinced that Mr.. Strahorn will carry
his plans to successful conclusion,
and that Oregon, Washington and
western Idaho will be greatly benefit
ted by the new roads.
Mr.. Strahorn leaves Spokane this
week tor trip over the entire in
ferior OF Oregon which will be opened
up by his proposed lines. He will be
able to make definite announcement
OF his plans at an early date. He does
not state, however, that such an
nouncement will be forthcoming. As
retainer of important railroad news,
Mr.. Strahorn has few equals and no
superiors.
Proposed Routes of Railroads.
Mr. Strahorn's plans provide for the
construction of railroad from Bend,
Ore, to Klamath Falls via Fort
Rock and Silver Lake; from Silver
Lake to Lake View via Summer Lake
and Paisley; from Bend to connection
with o. w. r. & N line out of Vale.
The. aggregate length of the proposed
road is 400 miles. The estimated cost
is $6,00O000. The roads are to be f.
nanced by independent capital, but to
cooperate with all existing railroads
with which the new lines will connect.
The roads will open UP immense tim
Der tracts; tap a great agricultural
empire; and bring into communication
with the outside world a stock country
whose extent and potential wealth can
hardly be estimated
Mr.. Beatty is convinced that the
railroads will be Of great benefit to
western Idaho. The line connecting
with the Vale branch will give this
section much closer connections with
San Francisco and Nevada points. In
fact it will Lessen the distance to San
Francisco by several hundred miles. 1t
will place this section in direct rail
road communication with central Ore
gon and northern Nevada
Spokane Booming
Mr.: Beatty states that Spokane is
very lively. The Occur d. Alene mines
are. running to full capacity. Every
body is employed at good wages and
Spokane is reaping the benefits along
with all other cities in those parts.
Mr.. Beatty states that he had most
pleasant trip and enjoyed his visits
Wlth'Mr, and Mrs. Strahorn. Mr.. Stra-
horn was one of the founders of Cald-
well. He was one of the first arrivals
in this city and lived here several
years.

KNOCKERS DRIVE PEOPLE
OUT OF COUNTRY
Loss Caused by Painting Dark Side
of Picture.

The knocker unquestionably in
jurcs himself, the country and the man
who is thinking Of locating. This is
illustrated by the following article
from the Wendell Irrigationist
An eastern man of means recently
happened onto the North Side Tract,
imbued with the back to the land"
idea and weighted with sufficient funds
to acquire whatever he found to his
liking. He found the place, all right,
about four miles from this city. He
had concluded to buy and settle down.
One of his prospective neighbors,
just to be accommodating, volunteered
to drive him over portions OF the
tract, so that he might see the sort
of country he was about TO settle
in. On the rounds they accidently
came up with one of the specie term
ed in the vernacular of the tract, "a
lanocker". Mr.. Knocker had his usual
tale Of woe-seed all blown out. fruit
killed by frost, crops lost by lack of
water taxes higher than a cats back,
and various and sundry other things
you all know that tale of woe by heart
You could shut your eyes and say it
over forward and backward. The
stranger listened and became silent
The fields for him were no longer
green with alfalfa and clover and other
crops, the bitches, running brim full
of water, were only so many dry gull
dies meandering about to mock the
hopes of the people, the land was
sand-beds not fit for habitation of
human beings, the horses, cattle and
sheep grazing on the pastures were
only objects for the tax gatherer. the
breeze had become fiery blast to
blight everything it touched, and the
sun moulten ball in a cloudless, un-
sympathetic sky-in short the knockcr
had changed the aspect of the world
for the stranger. After listening for a
few minutes there was nothing in sight
to him but speedy disaster or speedy
departure He chose the latter-left
on the first train to spread the knock
er's story far and wide, while the
knocker remains here TO wonder why
more people don't settle on the tract
and develop its fertile lands.

ARROWROCK RESERVOIR
WILL OVERFLOW SOON

Boise, Idaho, June 16,-The recent
warm weather has accelerated the
melting of the snow in the upper por-
tons of the Boise river watershed
and the effect has been quite marked
i'll hlling the reservoir.
Throughout the spring the Recla-
nation Service has controlled the out
How from the reservoir so as to pro-
ducc uniform stage of the river
through the lower Boise Valley. The
usual spring freshets have thereby
been modified so that no damaging
high water has occurred, although In
MAY there was quite lively flood,
which entered the reservoir and
which might have produced consider
able Inconvenience or damage in the
lower valley had it not been inter
cepted.
w Gather prophets have been pre-
dieting that the June hot weather
would produce still larger flood
from the snow banks, and so the
Reclamation Service has been hold
ing some reservoir capacity for the
purpose of skimming off the peak Of
the flood and preventing damage
farther down the river.
However, the prime purpose of the
reservoir is to store water, and there
fore it must be filled while the flood
is on. The recent warm days have
again raised the river to flood pro-
portions, and the reservoir has risen
to within thee feet of overflow level.
1t is expected that the first over
flow of Arrowrock Reservoir will oc-
cur on Saturday or Sunday, and if
the temperature should continue high,
ii is possible that a flood peak may
occur now OF greater prop ortonS than
the May flood.
People in the lower valley should be
on the lookout during the next few
days for considerable rise of the river.
The overflow through the spillway,
combined with the regular flow
through the outlet pipes, may posi-
bly, produce stage in the river which
will cause some Inconvenience. Eight
of the outlet pipes are now running
wide open, and carrying about 5000
secondfeet OF water. Ii the reservoir
should raise rapidly at the last, the
two remaining upper outlet gates
would be discharged in addition to the
uncontrolled flow over the Spillway
The large area of the reservoir will
have some effect in flattcning out the
Hood, because in order to discharge
any great quantity over the spillway
there will have to be several feet in
depth, and this spread out over the
lake creates considerable quantity
of storage in itself, and thereby tends
to retain or retard the freshet flow
in the river.
The reservoir being now practically
full, it is gratifying to observe that
the ordinary seepagc through the
joints in the masonry OF the dam has
not materially increased, and there are
no leaks, cracks or other phenomena

H. R. HAMMOND SAYS
BIRTHDAY OF PANTS
WORTH CELEBRATION

H. R. Hammond, proprietor of the
Panitorium, is convinced that the men
of the country should properly OBJ
serve the one hundredth anniversary
of the introduction of long trousers
Manumission from buckles, ruffles
and knee breeches should be celebrated
with torches, bonfires and speeches.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Hammond is more
or less interested professionally, but
his suggestion is we'll worth noting.
Mr.. Hammond in discussing trous-
ers in general took occasion to re-
mark:
so many events are taking place
in 1916 that the people have perhaps
overlooked possible centenary cele-
bration, one very interesting for the
males of the species. Just a hun
dred years ago man for the first time
wore full length trousers and knee
breeches went out of vogue This
revolution in mans attire was not eff
fected without as much opposition as
characteriZes the movement among
women in the same direction. The
Duke of Wellington is said to have
been responsible for introducing to
British society, and he was nearly
mobbed for so doing. Indeed much OF
his later Inpopularity is due to his
adoption of long trousers.
Before the year 1916 man APP
peared on the streets in long pants
would have created as much sensation
as Los Angeles woman would today
who paraded Broadway similarly at
tired. But, as the poet said, use can
almost change the face of nature. All
men now follow the practice intro
duced by the conqueror of Waterloo.
Only the hard-headed and brawny-
limbed Scotch highlanders still stand
for the ancient costume of their fore
bearers and refuse to abandon kits
for trousers"
