(Spe- A welcome note of certainty in the doubt that has swept over Lakevlew for a year regarding the early completion of the Goose Lake Valley Irrigation sys tem was sounded Tuesday, when a mortgage was recorded, given by the Goose I-ak Valley Irrigation Company to Thorpe Bros., of Minneapolis, to pro tect a $:.DO0.O0v pond Issue to complete the various projects. The mortgage covered lands, rights of way. ditches and diti-h rights, reser volrs and reservoir rights, canals, head- gates. Humes. embankments, dams, lateral water rights and all machinery and appurtenances. The Issue Is to be per cent ro-yesr bonds In 11000 de nominations. The obligatory bonds are to be drawn as needed. tea la Divided. The Irrigation system which the mortgage covers is divided Into three units. The first will water about 2. 000 acres and be completed in time to furnish water next Spring. This unit consists of the following: North Drews Canal Now completed except some flume work: Is I miles long from Its Intake at Irews Dam to I's present terminus at Thomas Creek. On this line will be nearly four miles of flume, about half timber. The re mainder will n galvanized steel on pile trestles. There also are 1200 feet of tunnels besides the outlet tunnel through solid rock at Drews dam. The first five miles was heavy construc tion and required the blasting out of solid rock a base more than 10 feet wliie for the mammoth flume to rest upon. There is room for two automo biles to travel side by side on the In side. This canal wltl water 30.000 acres and represents an expenditure of $100.- too. South Drews Canal Will be 15 miles long and will irrigate all the land be tween Drews Creek and the California line, more than 12.000 acres. It is esti mated that this part of the unit will cost approximately i..o"v.- Drews Dara Located about 20 miles from Lakevlew and rapidly Hearing completion. It Is of loose rork type and will be TO f-et high and feet long on top. The outlet is a tunnel through solid rock. There also Is a three-foot pipe outlet, surrounded with concrete, which was put In for future power development so the lands Rbove the canal can be Irrigated by pumping. The dam. completed, will have cost about $175,000. The reservoir will cover sn area of nearly 50O0 acres and em pound 0.000 acre-feet of water, at the present nelght. The land In the reser voir site and the purchase of water -Irhts cost in the neighborhood of $200. 0u. More than 100.000 has been spent on this unit and it will require about f JOO.000 more to eomplete. ExteaaloB Be Made. The second unit will require the ex tension of North Drews Canal around the north end of the valley and south as far as the city limits of Lakevlew. It will Irrigate about 000 acres. The third unit will require the ex tension of North Drews Canal through the City of Lakevlew. south to New Fine Creek, and the construction of a reservoir on Cottonwood Creek and Dog Creek, the latter making a reser voir of Dog Lake. Drews Dam will be raised five feet and Cottonwood canal constructed. This will Irrigate aoout 10.000 acres above the first unit and 10.000 acres south of Lakevlew. The complete system will put all of Goose Lake Valley that lies in Oregon tinder water, about 70.000 acres. The colonisation of the lands under this system will be carried on system atlcailv. It Is believed Immigration Into the Goose Lake Valley basin will be greater this year than ever before, and a period of prosperity Is predicted. Northern Pacific to Install a gasoline car on the branch from Vancouver to Yacolt. petitions are being circulated by J. W. Shaw, secretary of the Van couver Commercial Club, and by the secretary of the Yacolt Commercial Club. The present train service of one train a day between Vancouver and the thriving loan at the end of the line is held to be wholly Inadequate to the demanda and needs of the residents along the line. The cost of building the line is noth ing and the gasoline car mill cost less to operate than a steam train and it would answer the purpose. It would afford a quick means of marketing of fruits and vegetables. It Is proposed to establish suburban service with the gasoline car along the Yacolt branch, which is about 30 miles long.

Men who have had 30 years' experience In this country and remember It when bunch grass was the only vegetation for miles around, say this Is going to be the banner year for crops of all kinds In Gilliam County. FYoin the Columbia River to the Wheeler County line, and from Morrow County to the John Day River there is not a poor-looking crop. Owing to favorable conditions last September, there was a large acreage f rail wheat sown and that now stands from 10 Inches to a foot high. Spring grain sown in March Is all up and promises to be as good a crop as the Winter wheat. Not only IS this so, but It Is going to be a great fruit year. The trees along the creeks are loaded with blossoms and promise a rrand crop. With an unusual amount f rain ail vegetables will be plentiful.

(Spe cial.) For the protection of the stand ing timber of Washington from da Ke by fire. J. R. Welty, State Fire Warden. Is making preparation for the coming season, and hopes to make a icport next rail showing that Wash lngion forests have suffered less lrcm tin source than ever before. The Government Is permitted to as sist states which expend money to combat forest fires, and the Stats of Washington will this year endeavor tj procure a part of the Federal ap propriation. The greater portion of t!u Govern ment appropriation is expended in the Eastern States, where. Mr. Welty says, the major part of the fund lj applied to the payment of office expenses. while the portion devoted to fire fight !ng purposes Is very small. In Washington the reverse Is true, as the total expenses of the Fire War den's office, which Include salary and traveling expenses for himself rnd deputies, amounted in 1I1 to less than HC00. while nearly 1.15.000 v.us ex pended for fighting fires. During the season of 1911 a total of $31,877.71 was spent in actual fighting of fires. The state pays two-thirds of this amount, while the counties In which the fires occur are assessed one third. There also was spent by the Wash ington Forest Fire Service, an Inde pendent organisation sustained by the owners of timber. $50,000 for fighting fires, which makes the total spent In fire protection for Washington forests last year about $S5,nO0. A conference will be held before the opening of the season by the State Fire Warden, the Washington Fire Association and representatives of var ious railroads and timber owners with a view to perfecting arrangements for the elimination of condition which cause forest fires. With this end In view, it Is proposed to burn all slashings as early as pos sible, have all railroad rights of way kept clean, and to place epark arrest era on all locomotives operating through timber belts. WALNUT CROP LOOKS GOOD Expert Ray Prospects Are Bright in Yamhill County. SHERIDAN". Or.. May 11. (Special.) The prospects for an unusually large walnut crop in tnia section are prom ising this year, according to Colonel J. C. Cooper, the walnut authority. "here is something about the soil of this section." said Colonel J. C. Cooper, "that produces a tree of such unusual vigor that It could almost stand the Winters of Alaska. "Yamhill County Is famous for Its walnuts, yet the Government seems un willing to establish an experiment sta tion In the Interest of the Industry." CATHLAMKT. Wash.. May 12. (Spe cial.) The fishing season opens here with promises favorable for one of the best years since the beginnlnng of the Industry on the Lower Columbia. It is estimated that the five canneries in thin district will handle a pack worth more than $1. 000.000. Wahkiakum County Is one of the un known sections of the State of Wash ington, that has been settled for about 50 years. It has few public highways and no railroads, except those built by logging companies. But It Is one of the richest sections of the Pacific Northwest, when the natural resources In fish, soil and timber are taken Into consideration. Water Is the public highway. Kvery farmer and business man has a string of boats and uses them while attend ing to ail public and private duties. The water route Is liat taken by the mallcarrler and schoolboy, and that utilized by the commercial traveler and vendor. It takes the cream and butter to market and returns the mer chandise from the city factories, ropulatioa la 44 MM). Wahkiakum County has a population estimated at about-4000. Mary of the inhabitants are oid-tlners who date their claims back 50 years ago. Now their dairy farms and orchards produce wealth in such proportions that there are few or no poor people. The county has no bonded or warrant Indebtedness, except about $-700 re maining on some district schools, bor rowed for building purposes, and that money Is In the treasury awaiting the time for redemption of the bonds. Kvery resident seems to have all the money desired to conduct business and leave a balance In the pockethook. No one has time for being idle and such a thing as transient beggars, tramps or loafers Is an unknown quantity la Wahkiakum. There are no real estate dealers Hi Wahkiakum County. No one has land for sale. Wahkiakum Is the home of the bar berry trees of commerce. Here may be found entire groves of the sacred chtttlm wood used In the building of the ark in the days of Moses, and now held sacred because of its value as a medicine. The trees are guarded to prevent destruction by bark hunters and year after year the crop of cas cara tagrada Is Increasing. Medlc-laa! Plants Aboaad. The foxglove or digitalis plant of commerce covers many acres of most ! hill slopes In the fertile vales of ' Wahkiakum. No one attempts to mar ket the leaves, so valuable in the man ufacture of tinctures and infusions for heart remedies. The value of the plant may be estimated when It Is known that one of the experimental farmers of an Eastern agricultural college re ports that his crop of digitalis, pro duced and marketed last year, returned an Income equivalent to $4I0 an acre. The leaves are dried and sold the same as hops, the purchasers being whole sale druggists. Wahkiakum County has enough of the ginger plant to supply the drug manufacturing concerns of the coun try. The first settlers located when na tive Indians had possession of every bay. They established the highways of commerce to and from Portland, and built homes. Of the 171,000 acres of land In the county, 15 miles long and 11 miles wide, probably 110.000 acres remain in timber, 20.000 acres are In farms and ranches, 12.000 acres In tide lands and the remainder in logged-off lands. Clearlaa of I .anus la Problem. Clearing the locrgedyoff lands is one of the problems for -the farmers and ranchers. They have succeeded In re claiming much of the valley land from stumps and that Is all covered with grasses and clover, making Ideal dairy farms. Creameries, located at Cath lamet. Skamokawa and Grays River, manufacture many hundred thousand pounds of choice butter. m :i A4 i-vi'J I aa I fl - rk. copy,?., mi 1 . ite lj B TT7-HEREVER there is a child there should be an OXYPATHOR.
