A company was formed, tho dam site purchased, and options wero taken on the land required for the reservoir alte, and a large amount of money was spent in having surveys, estimates and a detailed report made on tho proposi tion by civil cnglncors of state repu tation. The company had all Its ar rangements made for the ' Immediate commencement of construction work, when tho unfortunate death of W, G. Hunter, a member of the company, occurred. This misfortune, followed later by the financial depression which affected the entire country,-caused an entire change in the company's plans.

It Is well iiutirHio.nl, of courso, that no Indi vidual or company would Invert money In an" enterprise of this kind, without reasonable assurances of a reasonable return on the Investment. In all probability a canvass will be mudo sometime during the next month or two with a view of finding nut what encouragement will be given to the en terprise by th land owners of the val ley In th way of agreements to pur chase water when It la delivered to them. ' 1 Nothing has yet been done, and It Is very doubtful If any other thing coul 1 be dona, that would so enhanc th valu of. farm lands In this valley, as to place'fhe land under a ditch carry ing a plentiful supply of water for ir rigation. At the present time, the best quality of land in th valley sella at from HQ to t "5 per acre, according to Its location. The same land placed under a ditch carrying plenty of wa ter for Irrigation, would sell with far greater readiness at from $100 to t!0n per acre. See what has been done In the sagebrush - desert in Umatilla county, in Oregon, and In th Snake River valley and the Twin Falls country In Idaho, Land that In Its natural state was absolutely worthless, has been fairly anappel up by buyers from all section of th country at prices ranging from (100 per acr. up- DAYS word, Just as soon as water was put on It, and sometimes even before the wa ter was actually put on It In conver sation a few day ago with a mdn who has had a great deal of experience In the Lewiston-Ctarkston, and other lr rlgated sections, he said: "Put water on your land in this valley, and I predict that within three years land lying under the ditch will be selling for 1300 per acre." To those who know .the prices at which land sells in the Hood River. Yakima and Lewlntsin-Clarkston sec tions, the above statement Is entirely within the bounds of reason.

Credentials Commute Itatiries Na tional Committee's Action. William H. Tuft has clinched abso lute control of the- national conven tion which wa called to order at 11:11 today, when, after a session lasting II hours the credentials committee, by an overwhelming vol ratified the ac tion of the national committee In ever)' contest over seats. No real fight oc curred in th committee, Th , pro posal to sudors th action of th na tional committee by single Vote op- po..d on th. ground that It would ap- naniis pes r to stifle a fair hearing of al! cases. So committee went over the 110 contests offered by the counsel for Cannon, Fairbanks,. Hughes and Fora ker. The first vote on the Alabama contest was 38 to 7, favoring Taft, showing how completely he la in con trol. Over 700 for Tnft. a he committee decided to submit the report to the national committee, recommending: . .". , ' ' . ' ,-: ' ''Thnt the temporary roll of dele gates to tho convention us prepared by tho national committee be made per manent." t ; This makes If, certain that Taft will have over 700 votes on the first' bal lot. 1 A small majority threatened to day to support Mayor Charles Book waiter of Indianapolis In demanding the contesting delegates from Indian apolis be seated. Taft leaders assert ed today, however, th'at such an' effort will be subdued quickly. There Is lit tle prospect of a fight over the seats on the floor of the convention. Committee Out AU Night. After Temporary Chairman Bur rows had called the convention to or der for the second day's session at 12: 19, Chairman Daugherty of the cre dentials' committee announced that he would be ready to make a report in about an hour. m expmmeu ut uir committee was In session all night un til I this morning. ' Otherwise the re port mould have been ready. Henrle Baker of Minnesota, and Judge James D. Connor of. Indiana, who are attending their first national convention, were Introduced. Loud cheering occurred when It was announced that the resolutions com mittee had rejected, by a vote of 25 to 17. tho resolution Introduced by Representative Burke of Pennsylva nla, "jSettrtsMing the representation of the r$yh& tatcs." 5'qre ,rrre.ciiitutlvcn From .South iFurkt-Oie.n announced h would carVy -flie TigJit tor the resolution do creasing the southern representation to the floor of the convention.

The report on permanent organiza tion wns next received and adopted. General Stewart L. Woodford of New York, and Governor Dencon of Illi nois, were appointed a committee to escort Senator H. C.

The vice-presidential boom of Gov ernor Cummins of Iowa, was formally launched today under an agreement with the factions of tjo party In Iowa; with an official White House stamp of approval. Senator Dolllver Is said to have been eliminated from the race at a meeting of the Iowa delegation at which tho delegates pledged themselves for Cummins. One of the Iowa delegates announced that he had received positive assurance that Roosevelt Is willing for Cummins to be nominated. This, following the assertion of Roosevelt and Taft, when they notified their mnrfagcrs at Chl enjto. that either Dolllver or Cummins would find favor at the White House, Is taken by many to mean tho admin istration has settled on Cummins as the running mate for Taft. llamnmml Confident. John C. Montgomery, manager for John Hays Hammond said today: "Hammond will certainly be placed In nomination. He will be voted for solidly by several western states. He will be strongly supported In the east, as well as the west. It t Is probable that the nominating speech will be made by a Colorado orator, as Ham mond lived in that state for many years."

Every Possible safeguard has been placed about the king to protect him from the wrath of the malcontents. 8eores of arrests have been made as a result of the plot and the leaders of the Society of the Black Cross are now In prison and will probably be executed.
