This Is certainly delightful weather,
ordored purposely, so the committee
cut to secure the required acreage for
the Irrigation project, cpuld have no
xcuse on account of weather. It may
also help from the fact that unless
jnolsfure comes pretty soon, we will
need water next year more than some
may think for at this' time. Here It
Is nearly the middle of Din-ember, with
.dusty road In the valley. With a
flint-flaM irrigation system such as Is
practical In Grande Rondo valley, the
farmers need never worry about pre
cipitation. There Is always sufficient
now in the mountains to keep the
reservoir full to overflowing.
; (- ' :
Opposition to the use of Christmas
trees Is extant, because annually mil
lions of young trees are destroyed that
would later become valuable for furl
and lumber. We In the mountain re
gions, possibly do not appreciate this
Joss as they do in the far east, whose
forests have been cut.

Do not Overlook the school meeting
Saturday. Be there and vote a tax
sufficient to insure another high
achool building. The same tax that
was voted last year we have been In
formed will be sufficient.
The color line Is being sharply
drawn by some In New York City.
White eggs are bringing 52 cents per
dozen, while the colored ones only
bring 35 cents.
How did you like the president's
message? 'He still favors postal sav

No excuse for Grande Rondeltes to
go south to escape the severe rigors
of winter so far.
INTERVIEW
OVERDRAWN
Washington, D. C, Dec. 9. -It has
tranitnlred todav that some errors
crept Into the reports sent to Oregon
yesterday regarding the Fulton inter
view with Prcsideui Roosevelt. Pres
ident Roosevelt merely asked that
,jroof of fruud be brought If any h.-d
been committed in thu Oregon son
torlul prlmury election.
All Chamberlain would say today
was: "I have been treated with such
fine courtipy here 'by men of nil par
ties, that I must refrain from drwij
ging In politics at this time."
Mr. Tnft U Speak.
New York. Dec. 9. It Is announced
that Mrs. Tnft will attend the conven
tion of the National Civic Federation
lit New York next Monday nnd Tues
day and will deliver an address at the
meeting of the woman's department.
President-elect Taft will deliver
Dublin. Dec. 9. Wholesale frauls
In the distribution of old age pensions
In Ireland has caused such a scandal
that no further pension will be paid
until safeguards are placed on the sys
tem.
It was supposed that only 152,000
persons over 10 years of age were en
titled to weekly pension of five shil
lings, but the records show that 193,
000 applied for money. Hundreds of
additional demands are coming. Evi
dence of fraud havo been found.
Mistreat and Rob Woman.
San Vranclsco, Dec. 9. Bleeding
from an ugly wound on her head, her
hands bound behind and a cloth over
he mouth, 'Mrs. Millie Harris stag
tered her house, attacked her and
bound her legs. She managed tc
lease herself. The burglars carried
away a number of valuable furs.
