A I'ik' project is that ju.st

plans the expenditure of $;i,(M)0

it by hit water into tin; semi-arid
lands lyirif? neur tho Columbia
Kiu-r. This concern, capitalized
for JI.OOO.CHK), has interested
Ln'lish capitalists in the plan
and Lritish money will he availa
ble within 'JO days to start the
work. It is expected to he ir
riyatinj? 15.000 acres within 18
months and more landwill pro
hably lie adder! later. '
This is thought to he the big-
Kest investment of foreign cap
ital ever made in the Pacific
Northwest, exclusive of the
trans-continental railroads. It is
also the .greatest individual
power project in the Pacific
Northwest. P.ut it is neverthe
less essentially an irrigation
scheme, which can be carried
out only by pumping water from
one river onto thirsty lands
through the power furnished by
the swiftly flowing waters of
another stream. The company
just formed will harness the De
schutes near its mouth and the
project contemplates the develop
ment of a maximum of 1-10,(XKJ
horsepower.
The first knock is yet to lie
heard on the Pendleton Roundup.
For an atfair that attracted the
wide attention this unique cele-j
bration enjoyed, this is indeed!
an enviable record. The North-1
west press gave wide publicity so i-oter. Mary 9
to the IJoundtm and in not a -it Mainutcn, Winnie 13
single instance so far found after I51
careful search, has there been
an adverse criticism of either the
amusemetit features, the event

Abstract, Real Eitate, Inurance,

St. Helens, Oregon
Some complaint has come re
garding the giving of half the
road in case of an automobile
coming up behind a team. The
parties claim that when they
come up behind a fellow with a
team he stubbornly refuses to
give any of the road, no matter
if there is plenty of room to turn
out. Now the law recognizes the
rights of both the man with the
team and the man with the auto,
ami these rights should be re
siccted. There are plenty of
men who are running autos who
should be running ox-teams ami
vice versa, but all men should
not be treated this way. The
law says that when a man is over
taken by a faster vehicle, the
man driving the slower vehicle
shall turn out and give half the
lioaten path.
Thera are no "House for Rent"
signs to be seen in our town.
That is proof of growth and pros
Hrity. but also an indication that
more homes ought to bo provided
for tho iieople who would move
here, if houses could be rented.
A number of cozy and attractive
cottages that can be rented at a
reasonable figure is what wc
need.
