WE. TOO, WONDER WHY!

When men like T. Hart Talbot. of
Paris, and others who have spent
their lives in the breeding and train
ing of horses, and who know. the
game from A to z, are passed by to
make room. for politicians, We wen
der why. The Cynthiana Democrat
voices sentiments exactly cur own in
these words:
Judge Allie w. Young, a. chronic
candidate for everything loose, and
Senator Thomas Combs, statesman
of the 'Rah, 'Rah order, having DEM
onstrated to the satisfaction of Gov
ernor Stanley that they understand
a horse has two front legs and two
hind legs which will agitate him to
his destination If properly persuaded
by whip and spur, the Governor has
appointed the two gentlemen mem
bers of the State Racing Commission
TO have supervision over the racing
and breeding interests of the State,
supplanting man like Hart Talbot,
of Bourbon county, who has been
breeding and racing horses since he
was old enough to toddle."

Supplementing many previous or
ders of a like character the Knights
of Columbus recently ordered for
shipment abroad 1,152,000 pounds
of tobacco. This will be distributed
to our soldiers and sailors by Knights
of Columbus secretaries. Included in
this order there will be 100000 pack
ages of cigarettes and 1000 gross Of
two-ounce packages of smoking to-
bacco. At the same time there was
an order placed for 100000 packages
of mint tablets. Soldiers and sailors,
especially those recovering from ILL
ness or wounds, are particularly fond
of these minis, and a K. OF G. secre-
tary distributing them is eagerly well
coined by the boys. Tons upon tons Of
chocolates are included in X. Of C..
supplies, and these, too, please the
men greatly.
OF course cigarettes and smoking
tobacco are always welcomed and i'm
mense quantities are distributed
through the X. of c. secretaries each

M'KAY CREEK SITES
FOUND PRACTICABLE

HERMISToN, oct. IA meeting
of the executive board OF the Umatilla
Irrigation League was held Jointly
with II. d. Newell, Umatilla Project
manager at the offices of the United
States Reclamation Service last even
ing 10 discuss the new proposed plans
for irrigating larger bodies of land in
the west end of Umatlla county.
Mr.. Newell has at the request of the
directors of the Reclamation and the
secretary Of the interior been engaged
for several weeks in gathering data
for preliminary report which will be
sent to Washington this evening. Mr..
Newell has made a number of surveys
of possible reservoir sites and finds
that the most practical are on Mckay
creek near Pendleton. There are a
number of other sites throughout the
but these are the most feas-
ibie.
Water can r.. stored on the Mckay
amounting TO about $4,000 acre feet at
a reasonable cost. This would be suf-
fcient to furnish all the water needed
by the Western Land & Irrigation
project and all additional water need
ed by the Furnish project 1t would
also supply all lands available that are
still arid. ana with the addition OF the
Teel project with a source of water
supply on Camas creek, practically re-
claim all the good lands in the west
end of the county.
II is expected that the report will be
acted on favorably and further inves-
legations made looking TO the adoption
of the project. IT is regarded with
great favor by the people in all the
west end communities who are united
in the effort to secure the works. At
present no other community in the
state is asking such favors from the
department. and u is believed that IL
the proper effort is made by the peo-
pie OF this county and state oregon
may get n part of its rightful share
in the reclamation now dut it.
