The latter proposition i the one to which they give great .em phasis; but there is no danger tbt they will become true 'prophets. There are now $4,1X30,000 of !iv-,n-able cash in the Treasury fr i'-rl gation purposes, and the sum :a growing steadily. Probably the fund will never be exhausted, fr the President's policy will b tv ex tend the work so carefully and systematically as to keep it always within due bounds. On Wednesday of last week there was an hour's conference between him and Senator Hansbrough, at the close of which, the subject not being completed, and arrangement was made for unother meeting, at which it is their plan to work ov.t thedtteila of the Administrttion nolicv. The Freident n r ' thinks that the work will pay' f r itself as it goes along, and that it never will(be neccessary to appeal to the National Treasury for aid. ' With Senator Hansbrough, he bays that it will be possible to irrigate half a million acres per annum, on an average for the next quarter of a century. The work will be kept within the proper timits, for it is realized that if the policy now initiated is to continue there must be proper management and strict economy. The President has some thing at stake in ;.seeing a proper administration of the new law; Senator Hansbrough, as its author, -has something at stake, for both have said, the former in bis mes sage to Congress, in which irriga tion was strongly recommcijd'.d, and the latter in his speeches in the Senate and to the Senate commit tee, that the work should never be made a charge on the public Tieas ury. Without further argument, it may be accepted that there- will be uo extravagance in putting the new law into operation, and that it will be the purpose of the Admin initiation to show that the anti-irri- gationists of the Eastern htate" have talked unadvisedly. Several months ago James J, Hill was in Washington, remain in several days. At that time it was suggested that his purpose in com ing was to talk about the Federal suits against the Northern iecuri- tis Company. It can be stated authoritatively that this was not the purpose of his visit He came to urge upon the Senate the pass age of the Hansbrough irrigation bill. The most important project under the new law so far discussed looks to the irrigation and rapid settlement immediately thersafter of half a million acres of land in North Cantial Montana, and in Northwestern North Dakota, along! the line of the Great Northern Railrod. This is known as the St. Mary's project, and, if carried out, it will add immeusely to the popu lation and material wealth of the be kept and whenever it is determ- i Two of the shots wero mere scratch ined tobein operations the amount cs Bl)()Ut tlu, ehouKlcrw, but the one that has been earned shall be spent -.y i .,r j l0 tle fttlul Hll)t in the state from the general fund.; wu) jn t(ie rjg,t breast, and pierced Assuming,' according to iMr.'tu, hing, coining out below the Jones, that tho l.nverument has not pertected plans lor negin-- ning work in the State of Washing- ton for rive or six years, there- win be something like 1,U1U,UUU to ne expended in the state, as tne nual income from the sale of lntl; is about 1300,000, ami halt or- nun will go to the credit of the "'"'j eachyer. Mr. Jonesa-snmest.iai, the reservoirs in the State of Wash-1 ngton will be located on the small ; streams, and that that the rrle'''i gation works wdi tie located in iwo. central places. One of these will be located in Yakima County, and the other in Franklin and Adams Counties. In Oregon the irrigation womsj will be located in Grant, Baker,) Crook, Malheur, Klamalli and LaKej Counties. Representative .Moody said today that he had already se cured the assurance of the geologi cal survey for the triangulation and surrey of the Blue Mountain country, and that Professor Russel, of that service, will be sent into Malheur and Harney Counties dur ing the coming season to investi gate and report on the water need ed, or at least, a part of it from ar tesian wells. Professor Russel is the artesian expert of the survey, and is well acquainted with the geological formation in Eastern Oregon. The main supply for the reservoirs is to come from the small streams flowing from the mount ains. He does not think that the work of completing the plans for the establishing of the reservoirs and ditches can be completed for some time, just how long being a matter of coujecture. ' He would not make any prediction on- that. Oregoniau. , , Shoollnft Hrpe In Unrnejr. Burns, June 24. Jerry Daley shot and killed Robert Toney the evening ol June 16, at the Buena Vista ranch, 1,5 miles south of the town of Narrows. The two men had never seen each other until a few hours before the shooting occur red. The tragedy was caused by Daley using insulting language to Foreman Zurker's wife while her husband was away at Burns on business. Toney was Zurcher's uncle, and had been left in charge of the ranch until the foreman returned. Daley came by the ranch and stoppad to Btay all night. He was under the influence of whiskey, and talked in an unbecoming manner. Toney ordered him to leave the ranch. Daley left the h.iuse and went . to the barn, about 100 feet away, where he got a gun lielonging to Jessie Cox, who had left it rolled up in his bed. After getting the gun Daley went back to the house, where the shooting occurred. Ton- Frrnch - Clunn Livestock Company, l)llt vmym llt different ,,8 ttnd gave himself up.

Pap Min ir tells a prod one on his playmafl?, Uncle Will Ayers, says" the Heppner Times. These two old gentlemen, who would rather fish than eat, took a trip up Willow Creek one day last week to rake into the fold some of the fes tive trout. After fishing for an hour or so, Uncle Will was over taken by that tired feeling, and, throwing his line down on the hank, he fell fast asleep alongside the babbling brook. About this time a 500-pound Oregon hog hove in sight in search for fish bait and such like. Uncle Will's book had evidently been baited for something larger than trout, for after nib bling on it for a. moment Mr. Hog, swallowed hook and all, and out over the alfalfa patch he struck like a streek oi greased lightning, yelling like a locomotive. , Uncle Will wasn't very sleepy anyway and he just now woke up, and, taking in the situation, he struck out after the fleeing game with considerable mora impatience and determination than speed, Round and round the field they went, both puffing and blowing (.like a politician, with the chance of victory about even. Uncle Will had already shed his shoos and most of his clothing in order to bring out his best spued; but the hog had come from raceing stock, and finally began to gain on his pursuer. By this time a couple of acres of alfalfa had been nicely flattened out, and both runners were as red in the face as a beet. Uncle Will's wind was about gone and he was just about to yell, "Go it you son-of-a-gun," when the rod caught in the fenco, the line broke and. the hog spurted for the alfalfa. Stage line.
