Present Population About 360; Great Development is Seen In Near Future The most complete and authentic fensus of the country embraced in the Ochoco Irrigation District that has ever been compiled has just been given out by Project Engineer R. VV. Rea. These figures are for the pro ducts originating on these lands for the year 1916 and are of course not absolutely complete, but are authentic in so far as the figures So. The most important and likewise the most difficult item on the list is that of livestock. There has been not less than $500,000 worth of stock shipped from this immediate vicinity, a great part of which was owned by people residing in or near Prineville. Alfalfa hay is a very important product, about 9,500 tons being j harvested this year, which valued at $10 per ton would be worth ! $95,000. Grain hay amounting to; 2,000 tons was harvested, valued at SS would total $16,000. j Of wheat, 39,200 bushels were threshed, oats totaled 22,000 bush-! els, barley 9,500 and rye 14,000. These crops, valued at the current market prices make a grand total of $90,000. The total value of all products raised in the territory would ap proximate almost three quarters of a million dollars. There are 86 families living on the lands at this time, a total popu lation of 360 within the district.

The session of con gress which opened .Monday and will expire by limitation on March 3, Is going to be a short one, but a busy one. The first and most Important busi ness of the session will be the passage of the appropriation bills the regular appropriation bills to meet the cost of running the goverument, in addition to which efforts will be made to pass a river and harbor bill and an omnibus public building bill. Additional Railroad Legislation, Aside from the appropriation bill there will come up other important questions, some backed by the admin istration, and others brought forward in spite of the administration. The president, in his opening message, called attention to the railroad situa tion and strongly urged the passage of at least a part of the remainder of his original program. There will be a wholesome sentiment In congress, regardless of party, to do something to straighten out the railroad tangle. The rrincville W. O. T. IJ. held A social meeting at the home of Mrs. Joseph Lister yesterday after noon. The meeting was given over to the discussion of national prohibi tion, the progress of the dry jove- ment in the Union and the enforce-i ment of the dry law in Oregon. I Kev. Pay was present and ad dressed the ladies on temperance , subjects. ; The meeting closed after do-' licious refreshments of ice cream j an J cake were served. About twenty members were, present and all report a profitable mooting. ! The next meeting will be held at' the home of Mrs. C. J. Johnson in ; January. I Without hint from tho president, an effort will be made to get up and to pass the Immigration bill which was sidetracked last summer, because of the politics Involved. The bill pro vides for an educational test for immi grants; President Wilson does not be lieve in the educational test. If the bill, already passed by the house, should pass the senate, It will carry the educational test, and it then will be up to the president to determine whether he will sign or veto the mess ure. Webb Bill May Be Revived. Another bill to be revived Is what is known as the Webb bill, recom mended by two members of the cab inot and by the federal trade commis sion, empowering American exporters to combine to control prices in foreign markets, and to co-operate in the for eign trade. This bill Is strongly urged by both republicans and democrats, and its early passage Is to bo sought, that American business men may tho more effectively prepare to meet trade competition in foreign markets after the restoration of peace In Europe. Appropriations Only Bill Can Pass. Members talk of new Issues, but it is the general opinion that little 'other than appropriation bills can be passed in the short session.
