There is a drive under way BY Nal

The commissioners, however, were
somewhat astonished at the drop in the
prices of highway bonds. The 'road

and part Of it over Z0Oo feet under

~ nrst thought this might appear as
serious obstacle but because oI the
uIIectuess Of the tunnel line compared
wIJn the surface line, ana the fact that
lhe tunnel Will obyiate the necessity Of
following the steep and badly broken
hllIsides Of the John Day canyon, with
their Imminent danger OF bad breaks
and washouts in spite Of the most care
ful engineering and construction, this
cannot be considered an obstacle, but
IS a desirable possibility,
Mr. Lewis was unable to give any
definite per acre cost on this project
and could not say as to just what time
in the future he could furnish this in
formation. He believed, however, that
II viii be considerably under $500 per
acre, which is the estimate given out
BY the soil experts, and said that the
project would pay for itself in three
years The land at present valuation
would average about S. per acre When
the project is completed and water
turned in the valuation would be
around $500 or more.
Mr.. Lewis stated that Of the 23 pro 70
jects now in successful operation in the
northwest, each of them have paid for
| themselves in from two to three years
Of operation, and that the land valua-
ton increased to point that any man
would not hesitate to take up the land
| at the present price and realize his for
tune as soon as the project is in opera
| tion.
However, it will take considerable
work and continual hammerlng away
to get this project under construction.
and a lot Of conscientious hard labor
will have to be done to put this project
| over. The engineers report is, brief
ly, that the water is there and the pros
poets for getting it over the 100000
| acres leave no doubts whatever. The
soil to be redeemed is comparable with
that Of Sicily, which has been cropped
for 1000 consecutive years. The en-
gineer's report also includes several
good power possibilities, chief among
them being the Umatilla rapids.
This being also the time of meeting
of the directors of the John Day Pro-
ject, Clay c. Clark, president, was pres
ent from Arlington and followed Mr..
Lewis in a short talk, expressive of his
appreciation Of the engineers report
and eloquent with his enthusiasm for
this great reclamation project Mr.
Clark stated that Arlington would send
large delegation to Portland to at
tend the irrigation congress and put in
| their boost for the John Day.

some day the state might take the road

DIFFERS With lands
President John HeydLer Favors Nine
Game Worlds Series.

New York, Oct. 15.-President John
Heydler of the National league, diff
fers with Judge K. NJ. Lands, COM
missioner of baseball, on the advisa-
bility of returning to a seven game
world series, which was the rule prior
to 1919. Judge lands said at the
end of the recent series that he would
recommend the change at the joint
session of the major leagues next
winter.
'As a member of the advisory coun-
ell, I don't care to take issue with
Commissioner Landis,' HeydIer said
Yet I cannot help recalling clearly
the unsatisfactory nature of a seven
game series, and that it was chiefly
almost entirely in response to public
sentiment in the matter, that we were
constrained, nearly three years ago, to
extend the series to nine It was for
the sake of the game itself that the
action was taken, it having become
evident that the all around strength
and class of a team sometimes failed
to be brought out and to tell its story
in a seven game series.
Instances have arisen in which one
remarkable pitcher was able. single
handed, 20 decide the issue when the
series called for the best four of seven
games
