I I .1 I FARM CFN.SUS FCONOMY. fTTTTTT AAAA ASSA AAOOOOOOOO OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST CO-OPERATIVE IRRIGATION. Baker County Farmers Don t Need Outside Capital. Baker City Baker county has more co-operative irrigation projects than any other county in Oregon. There are no large ditch systems, the farm ers being banded together in small groups, and co-operating in building of inexpensive ditches and in the division of the water therefrom. Very much the same conditions as to the ease with which water is utilized for irrigation prevail in Eagle and Pine valleys where a superabundance of water flows from the mountain gorges which has in it power enough to run the machin ery of a small empire. The Lower Powder has several systems which have been expensive, built by private farmers and corporations, and which irrigate tracts of alfalfa land. In Burnt River valley are a number of private ditch companies irrigating bot tom and foothlil land, which produce good results but which are compara tively inexpensive. The largest irrigation system in Baker county is that which covers the bench lands on the east side of Baker valley, beginning about eight miles above Baker City and extending in a northerly direction and terminating at present about five miles northeast of the city with the probability of it being extended later and covering the whole east side of the valley. This canal has been built at a large expense, having been cut of solid rock for a con siderable distance along the mountain side. In a distance of 28 miles of canal there has been used only about 400 feet of flume, and the work is of a much more substantial nature than is ordinarily used in private irrigation works. ' FAIR TO BE BETTER. TRAIN ROUTE FIXED. at Gresham Makes Improvements in Buildings for Coming Display. Gresham Multnomah county's fair promises to be the equal this year of the two preceding ones. About $2,000 worth of the treasury stock has been sold since the last fair, which has cre ated an ample fund for making im provements. The sum of $500 is avail able out of the state appropriation for premiums on exhibits this year, which sum will be increased by the gate re ceipts and the money from sale of con cessions. A large force of men are at work on the new stock buildings and out-of-doors pavilion. It is intended to use the main exhibit building for no other purpose after this than to house the displays of agriculture, horticulture and art, together with exhibits of bus iness houses. The new building will be used as an auditorium and dance hall and other public functions. The rew stock pens will be ample and commodious and permanent, those of last year having been torn down. A 04W fence will be built around the grounds and suitable booths will be erected for small concessions. Phones to Sound Fire Alarm. McMinnville This city is installing the latest standard fire alarm system. The apparatus, purchased from a New York firm, is being placed in position and the city council will be asked to district the city into 'eight fire wards, or districts, to conform to the require ments of the new system. tAn electric bell striking machine will be connected with the automatic transmitter, which will be installed in the office of the McMinnville Local & Long Distance Telephone company, and thus, for the present, each public or private tele phone belonging to that company in the city will serve to transmit an alarm of fire instead of the rtgular automatic fire alarm boxes. Demonstration Special to Stop Seven Eastern Oregon Towns. Portland Its shibboleth "A crop for every acre every year, the demonstra tion train of the O. R. & N. will leave Portland, October 25 on an anti bar renness crusade in Sherman, uilliam and Moro counties. The intinerary of the educational train as finally decided upon provides a four-days' trip in which seven stops will be made. lone, Heppner, Clem, Condon, Grass Valley, Moro and Wasco will be visited by the demonstration train and at each place six lectures will be delivered by mem bers of the faculty of the Oregon Ag ricultural college at Corvallis, profes sors of that institution, with a few railroad officials to be the only passen gers of the demonstration special. The complete schedule for the dem onstration train is as follows : Tuesday, October 26 lone, 9 a. m. to 12 noon ; Heppner, 2 p. m. to 5 p. m. and 8 p. m. to 9 :30 p. m.

Klamath Falls Unless some unfor seen obstacle arises there will be lo cated in the southern portion of the Klamath basin one of the largest Bo hemian colonies ever established in any state. Sixty representatives of the colony have spent several days going over the 3,000 acres of land on which options have been secured. The colony is in the form of a club and consists of approximately 500 families. Officials of the club visited this section several weeks ago and secured options on the large Lakeside tract. The 60 members who have been here for several days are a final committee to pass on the land. If they recommend the acceptance of the land the settling up of this large area will be begun at once. Postal Receipts Gain. CorvalliB The postal receipts of this city for the quarter ending September 30 shows a gain of 16.2 per cent over the receipts for the correaponding'quar- ter of 1908. The gain for the quarter ending September 30, 1908 over that of the year previous was 23 per cent. The falling off in the percentage of gam this year id attributed to the fact that O. A. C. began its work a little later this fall. The receipts for the quarter just ended were $3,512.82. Odd Fellows to Spend $5,000 Condon The Odd Fellows have be gun excavating for their new two-story brick building on Spring street. The building will be 30x100 feet, and will cost $5,000. The order expects to be able to occupy its new quarters about January 1. PORTLAND MARKETS. Building Santiam Bridge. Lebanon freparatins lor the con struction of the bridge over the San tiam river at this place are being made as rapidly as possible, for the new line between Lebanon and Crabtree of the Oregon & California railroad company. A gang of nearly 100 men are now at work on the new structure. The bridge is going to be one of the longest bridges in the country, being nearly 400 feet crossing the river, with a tres tle of some 2,000 feet on the west ap proach to the bridge. The bridge will cost in the neighborhood of $100,000. Paper Railroad Is Formed. Salem Articles of incorporation were filed today for the Albany, Leb anon & Bend railway company. The incorporators are J. C. Mayer, Ed. Eellenberger and George B. Whitcpmb, and the capital tock $10,000. It is proposed to build a road from Albany to Bend by way of Lebanon.

Director Durand Hopes to Save Sev eral Hundred Thousand Dollars. Washington, Oct. 11. U. S. Census Direcotr Dana E. Durand hopes to save several hundred thouaand dollars in taking the census of agriculture and also to increase the accuracy of the statistics. The director stated today that at the census 01 1900 tbe agricultural aata were handled by means of punched cadrs. For each farm a large number of cards had to be punched, as the number of facts recorded regarding a farm was far greater than the number of facts required regarding an individ ual in the population census. Director Durand said tbe statistics of population and of agriculture are collected by a different force from that employed in gathering the statistics of manuafcturea. The population and agricultural data are secured by enum erators of whom there will be about 65,000 at the present census, they in turn being appointed by the supervis or3, of whom there are about 330. The difficulty of securing competent and faithful enumerators is very great. The length of service is very short, 15 days in the cities and 30 days in the country districts. The pay is small, averaging perhaps three dollars per day in the country districts and a trifle more in the cities, practically the pay of ordniary mechanics. Not only, therefore, are most of those who seek to be neumerators able to command only moderate pay in their occupa tions, but many of them are men who can not command regular employment and who are looking for odd jobs. The director hopes that a consider able number of the eolleegsand univer- sities of the country'may see fit to give leave of absence to their students for the short time required to do this work of enumeration. The college student is a very useful enumerator in some cases, but it is exceedingly desirable that enumerators should actually live in the distritsc where they work, and tnere are multitudes of districts where no college students reside or where such students are in institutions hundreds or thousands of miles from their homes. Another class who can render good ser vice as enumerators are school teach ers, but, with the enumeration taking place in April and May instead of June as formerly, few school teachers can be spared from their duties to take the census.

From the balcony we sighted a schoon er lying between the beach and the Shift Ing Shual. A long-boat was In the water and men were hurriedly manning it Be,ow us on the beach stood Duponnceau a pistol in either hand, fronting a half! dozen of his enemies, who were between him and the cottage. 1 would have leap ed to his help, but a glance told me tn the matter was too far gone for that.

I murmured, and Rodney echoed me: "Run, Duponceau, run, and may Heaven help"' I have seen men run, but never as Du ponceau ran that dny. He seemed to skim, almost to fly. across that open ing their speed against his frantic flight. The Frenchman neared the rocks, was on them, was up and clambering over the Ship's side. Then came a sharp report, and I could see Dupponceau quiver and bang useless worse than useless, lor ne I L-l. . I . ll II 1 uhuk UBL'iaHr urm luuu luihicbd.

"I don't believe I can tither, though as a broker I see my duty plain enough. I can't do It, I simply can not do It." We sat silent for some time, each, intent on his own thoughts. "Ought we to tell him that we know?" Rodney said finally. "I was wondering. Perhaps we should, but I don't believe we can. When you face him and lo into those clear black eyes and hear that voice I doubt if there'll be anything to do but keep your mouth shut." "l'et we must do something," objected Rodney, "for I must be off for Xew York In two hours from now, to try and straighten out my losses." "Suppose we go down and look at him," I suggested. "Possibly we can think of something then.' We went down-stairs and looked hi the uiumg-room, tne hallway, and the kitch en. In the kitchen we drowsing. We couid find no trace of Uu- lnceau. 1 waked Charles and question ad him. "When did you last see Monsieur Du- Charles rose and pulled a paper from his pocket. "Only a couple of minutes ago, Mr Fein." he said, "he gave me this note for you and told me not to disturb you but to give it to you when you asked for him. I opened the paper and read It to Rod ney. "My ship has come at last. I am go ing on board. I can get there alone; no one could help me. If you knew all, per cuance you would not wish to help me I have done sufficient harm without tak ing you and the others farther Ask mademoiselle to pray for me. Good-by " 1 looked up at Rodnev In hI-,,1, Bent, and as we stood so, a shot came u, oeacn. e turned and made for the stairs. and got him as far as the cabin door be fore he collapsed on the boards. Barbara disappeared, and then reap peared with something in her arms. "The chest I" I muttered. "He couldn't forego that !" I saw Barbara lift and steady Dupon ceau on his feet, saw him clutch the box with one hand, while he held a revolver in tha other. He staggered across the deck. "Come on !" I breathed, and we were off for the Ship. The long-boat was half way in when a new shout threatened to sound Dupon ceau's death-knell. Men came out on the cliff and stood high above him, ready to Are down upon him. There was a ring about him now enemies on the rocks, on the cliff, and men already scrambling through the water to lay their hands on him. "Look I" cried Rodney. I saw Barbara whisper In Du ponceau's ear, saw him straighten up to his full height and Bre at the men above him. One bullet ripped Into the cliff, another shattered an arm. We stood now on the rocks, a stone's throw off. Duponceau looked seaward and gave a cry. With terrible effort, he leaped to the farther rail, raised himself to plunge the box still In his arms into tbe sea, and sink or swim to help. He balanced, crouched, and then a clear report and he fell, a leg broken, down into the waves. His stand was over, the fight done; his enemies had taken him. A couple of men lifted him from the water and carried him to shore; another man followed with the cheat. Rodney and I drew near and looked at him; be was conscious, and only his set teeth showed the agony he suffered. "It's over." he said. "The boat was late." Then his eyes lighted on me. and he tried to smile. "Good-by,M be mut tered. "Take my good-by to her." Carefully the men lifted him and car ried him into the pines. "He will live." said Rodney briefly, and I nodded. It was not for Duponceau to surrender easily, though I wondered If now he would not prefer It so. CHAPTER XXI. The long-boat returned to the schoon er, and in a quarter-hour tbe latter had vanished as silently as she had come Rodney and I went on board the Ship and found Barbara sitting against the broken mast, her eyes deep with unshed toars of pity. We sat there and talked of Dunonceau's flight and capture. "If It hadn't been for the cheat. h ... u , , ,. -- "uim. Bullets j .. . , r. , ' - "um nave chased him. ploughed into the sand Z v"!?
