The one thing now before the peo
ple of thl city and valley I the Irri
gation problem. For several years It
has all been theory, Now- we have a
practical and doflnlte plan to work on.
A plnn, as compared with the many
other Irrigation projects, Is cheaper by
far. It means much more to this city
and valley than any of us at this time
can outline. This Is really one of
other. We have several 20,0C0-acre
tract that can.be handled In a lml
lar way. .
Twenty thousand acre of land sub
divided. Into 80-acre tract mean 250
families. It Is a well known fact that
with water much of thl land will be
occupied In 10-ncre tract. W Ka
famine annually spend 1750 each, or
disbursement of $187,000. But stop
and think what It mean to the busi
ness Interests of this valley, of fitting
out 250 new homes! Not counting
the outlay for the land, simply the
improvements and necessary eouln
ment to run an 80-acre farm will cost
not less than $3,500 or 14000. nrar-n
cally $1,000,000 will thus be Invested
within the next few years. Mr. rtn.i
Hen Man, this Irrigation project Is so
mucn the biggest proposition that we
have ever attempted, that It demands
your most earnest consideration and
co-operation.
The man who will reap the first
narvest Is the present land owner.
The moment that water I conducted
to his farm It more than doubles the
value of his land, and this, mind you,
t an expense of only $!0 per acre,
the paymenj of which I spread over a
period of 10 years.
Every effort should be exerted from
this Mm. on to see that the mass meet
ing to be held In thl city one week
from next Saturday I well attonded
by the land owner.
Mr. Eccle staled the other night If
this proposition was submitted to the
Utah fnimers who know nothing but
Irrigation, the acreage would all he

Our presidential campaign should
be a tame affair compared with our
Irrigation campaign. Wo could hold
ft monster torch-light parade over ir
rigation and it would mean some
thing to us. As far as we are person
ally concerned In this valley, the re
sult of the presidential campaign Is
simply a bubble as compared with the
success or the Irrigation project.

The La Grande Commercial club isi
now behind a proposition that means
many time over more for the peo
ple of this county than anything It
ever assisted. We mean the present
Irrigation porject. But because the
Commercial club Is behind It, do not
think for one moment that It doe not
need your hearty support This Is
Just a little too big for the club single
handed. Join the club, and help It.
If not, you can help the cause bv
speaking a good word for It. We have
a lot of work to do. Twenty thousand
acres of contracts Is no small under
taking. This Is not a small business
proposition. There Is nothing ' small
about It. It Is by far the biggest un
dertaking ever attempted In Grande
Ronde valley. It will benefit the en
tire valley. Each and every corner
will be greatly benefited. It Is not a
La Grande project alone, by any
means.

Cures Chronic Constipation, Stomach and Liver Trouble

OBnro Laxative Fruit Syrup will posi
tively care chronic constipation as it re
stores the natural action of the intestinal
; tract. Ordinary cathartics may give tem
porary relief but the stomach is upset
, and the bowels are irritated without any
permanent benefit having been derived.
The condition of the patient remains un
changed. The Stomach, Liver and Bowels
have not been stimulated and in a few
days a stronger purgative may have to be
taken. This is why Pills and Aperient
Waters never give permanent relief.
Their violent action results in an unnat
ural movement of the bowels and it is nec
essary to keep taking them indefinitely.

"We will need that number of cars

whether the order for the 000 cars
will be filled or not. My Information
on that point Is no more complete
than what I have seen In the Tele

these car has already been sent In,
and the plans and specification have
been made and submtlted to the car
equipment companies upon which thofi
may bnse their bids. No contracts
have been let, but the Harrlman roads
are simply In the -market to see what
bids will be made. Most of the cars
will be box cars, and will be of the
most Improved modern type, and will
average In cost, I should say, from
11100 to 11200 each. When this ad-
dltlonal equipment will be laid down
It Is beyond me to say. for all depends
upon the bids submitted." !
