Whistler and Supervising Engineer E. C Hobaon of Portland, who viaited Ontario and Vale and surrounding country for that purpose. Some additional data and observa tion! was necessary to the final com pletion of the report, which will prob ably now be completed within the next few weeks. The Warm Springs project it. claimed to i.e o if or tnc most 'asaoic the government ha yet undertaken. From a standpoint of cost it is cluimed to be the cheapest ever proposed, con sidering the number of acres of land which can be irrigated from the res ervoir. There is every indication that the next session of congress will approp riate the money to build the project. The last session of congress indi cated its willingness to grunt funds for reclumution work in Oregon, and I funds for this projec. would prob able huve been provided ut thut time hud the report been completed. However, the report will huve been finished und in the hands of the sec retury of the interior long before the meeting of the next congress.

The 1911 rules adopted by the Worth Woat Fruit Shippers' council at Spokane, April 28, have been put into final form by the committee appointed for that pur pose and copies are being sent to ship pers throughout the northwest this week. The new rules are bused to a mater ial extent on the 1914 rules of the North Pacific Fruit Distributors. Prin cipal variations from the rules observ ed during the past season by the dis tributors and other' large organiza tions are: In the case ot apples, the color requirements for extra fancy Jonathans are B6 2-8 per cent red, which is a compromise between the 7.r) per cent required b some ship pers and 50 per rent required by oth ers.

For instance, very building on the pluce I. built ulonn lines of tin- latest modern ideas; ever,, loot of live tock on the place, even to the dogs, is thoroughbred; the huge orchard is all laid out along scientific lines; and everbere on the place bj a ncath.-.-,.- and praciaion thut aoemi to permcutc MEMORIAL DAY TO BE OBSERVED That everyone will join in observ ing Memorial da) this year looks like M assured fait now as practical I all the cluli- and churches in the city have united in an effort to carry out a fitting program. Fach club or so ciety will be appointed a a committee to carry out the different phases ot the program for the day and will be responsible for ther part. Although the order for the day has not been made out it is expected that the fore noon will be given up to the decorat ing of the graves, followed by a pic nic dinner in the grove nenr the depot. An interesting program with an ad dress by W. W. Wood and music by both the music club und the Ontario band will take up the greater part of the afternoon. As these plans arc all being made in ample time it ia hoped that nil will lay aside work and help us in observing this day. The following commit tei have been ap pointed: Procession, Ladies' Auxiliary of the Commercial club; decorating at ceme tery, Woman's club; dinner sieved to the old soldiers and wives, and wid ows of the soldiers, W.
