Porland, Or.. Feb: 17. (Special.) Just what will prove the greatest point of interest in the forthcoming irrigation congress, to be held .at Portland on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, is hard to predict. The Umatilla project will come in for a great deal of discussion. Those who favor the movement and an ear!y development of the project, members of the association which is opposed to taking water from the Upper Umatilla river and the govern ment officials who are anxious to get all the light they can, will furnish the oratory and arguments that will produce at least one very live session. What will happen when the full discussion of the many Carey act projects Is under way will also be of great interest. Governor West will talk for the state land board. State Engineer Lewis will discuss the water supply and officials of the private companies that are promoting the many carey act projects will be here to explain their attitude in the prem ises. It is the program to get united action on the early completion of the Umatilla project and make a formal demand, by resolution, for Oregon's fhare of its contribution to the recla mation fund. The request will also be made that the government instruct the engineers to report as early as possible on the best way of Insuring an adequate sup ply of water for the land on the Uma tills site without injury to existing rights. The Mariner pian to take the water from the John Day river, and, in addition to the Umatilla landa, wa ter an additional 10,000 acres of Gilliam county will have its friends there. The many differences and opinions and methods between the state1 land board officials, the state engineer's office, the promoters of the many Carey act projects of the state, the settlers on the land and the users of water will come up for a hearing and several localities will be heard from who claim they have grievances which should be given state-wide publicity and remedies offered at once. The feeling that the part of the state east of the Cascade mountains is not giv en legislation that meets its needs will be brought up for the benefit of the many member of the legislature who will be present at the congress. Governor West w-ill open the con gress and with him will be William Hanley and the officials of the Ore gon Development League. The rail roads having made an open rate of one and one-third fares for the round trip, tickets on sale February 18 and 19, return limit February 23, the attendance of representatives from all sections of the state will be large. "The final outcome of the conven tion," according to A. O. Hunter of Bend, "must be to produce definite recommendations for legislation that wiil protect the settler on the land, that will provide some alternative for carrying out the plans of the original projectors, should they fall financial ly, and to get for the settler the wa ter without which the land would be Idle. The investor in the land must be squally protected. This need is state-wide and applies equally to the irrigation projects in the Willamette valley as in the remote districts of Central Oregon." CLASS TO STUDY MAKRIAGE. Young Men of Rockefeller's Bible Clu Will DlfiMvt Matrimony. New York. The young men of the Rockefeller Bible class will devote the spring months to the study of marriage. A series of fifteen special lectures is announced, beginning Feb ruary 16, under the general title of "Facts Necessary to be Known About Engagement and Marriage."

THREE MJLLIOXS IN UNIQUE "LAUNDRY" Insurance Company Irons Securities ReHeuexl from Equitable Vaults, New York. The staff of the Unit ed States Life Insurance company has just completed a ten days' Job of wash ing and ironing which was probably without precedent in downtown New York. The "wash" which they hung on lines strung across the vault of a big Wall street bank and then ironed out carefully with electric irons, consist ed of 3000 pieces of paper, represent ing more than $3,000,000. The securities were salvaged from the sub-cellar vaults of the burned Equitable Building. Thousands of gallons of water had filtered through them while they lay there, and the papers were soaked al most to a pulp when removed from their resting place. "We tried to dry therrf with blot ting paper," said fiecretary Kenway of the company, "and we blotted and blotted away at the wet securities for almost a week, but the moisture re fused to come out. Then we ordered a dozen electric fans and a half dozen electric irons. When these were sent down to our new vault we strung ropes across the vault and hung the 3000 bond cerlflcates out to dry in the breeze from the fans. The certifi cates were attached with regulation wooden clothes pins. As soon as each paper was partially dry, one of us spread it on an ironing board and carefully Ironed It out. About the only thing we did not use that a laun dry does was blueing and starch. "The ironing of 3000 pieces of laundry isn't easy work, and we are quite proud of the result, for not one of the 3000 bonds is in the slightest degree torn or damaged."

Before buying it may interest you to know that the bes producers are bred and raised right here in Eastern Ore gon it will pay you to investigate. I have at the Commercial Barn in Pendleton a fine lot of Jacks, acclimated, bred and raised in Eastern Oregon, on the "Eastern Oregon Jack Farm" In Morrow county. These Jacks are of the best breeds and best producers in the United Statea. Jacks that stand undefeated In the show ring in both Oregon and Washington. They hava produced mules that have taken all first and second premiums, with one exception, for the past 13 years. I have been breeding and selling for many years, and can say what no other seller or breeder can truthfully say, that I have never yet sold a Jack that has failed to give satisfaction. I have with these Jacks the largest yearling mule in the United States. I will pay $500.00 for his equal regardless of color, that will make a mate. This mule was sired by Black Night, Jr., that heads my herd of Jennets, and is. also the sire of all my young Jacks under 5 years of age. .AH prices are right, and all Jacks guaranteed and registered in the Standard Jack Register of America.
