Porter In Boston Gbibe. . 44444444444 4.4 444 A nico little offer In the'shape of $2000 to the person or committee who would secure 10,000 acres of the Sandrldge to be listed In the irriga tion project. J. D. McKi'iinon started this off;r, and It would be a caution to know how uulckly he would make his portion $500 back. The minute that contract was signed J. D. would get busy and have options on no less than half the farms under the pro posed ditch and the chances are that before the contractor could get his crew to work Mr. .MeKennon would have made enough many times over to make hla offer good. Mac Is just eager to have his offer taken, as well as the o'ther parties to the offer. Few of us realize what this Irrigation pro ject would mean In the way of making a demand for real estate. We thought we had a little taste of real estate seekers when the. sugar factory was first built, but that would simply be an Incident compared to the irrigation of from 15,0(10 to 20,0110 acres of our valley, land. The mere assurance of water attracts people. Think a mo ment, we have plenty of Investors in this eliy and valley who are speculat ing in Twin Falls. King Hill, Herinls ton and other Irrigation projerts. many of them are paying as much for water a they can buy our best valley land for. There must be a reason for all tif this. That reason Is apparent to all who have seen these Irrigation countries develop. Itnd is worth Just in proportion to what It will produce. If water will increase th7 yield two fold such land Is readily worth twice what It was before the water was put on. Thus, when experienced men sug gst that our best land. with a water liKht, will readily bring $200 per acre, they only have to cite no less than a score f localities where similar con ditions prevail. - 1 The starting of the big sawmill at Perry means the resumption of an other large payroll. Spring work Is developing all over the county and we are facing one of the most prosperous years in our history. Kverythlng that 1b produced or manufactured in l"nln county is receiving top-notch prices. With no exception, Union county be Jns , ..producing cMy.. thJ e n0 tlon mesns prosperity written in cap itals. t" S The Jsnuary floods washed cut six .ridgv, to Umatilla county. whlih are Bow Wtl replaced with steel struc ture Th!i fortunate seaarn for Union county, which did not lose a single bridge. Tha wisdom of our county court In building ail bridges above' high water mark was demon strated the past season. We have a new city administration, officially, but not otherwise. Coun cilman Sheak, who succeeded Coun cilman Williamson ' being the ' only change. It Is evident that Mayor Hall will earn his salary until his list, of appointments has been decided upon. The friends of the various applicants for th evarious positions will all re quest a bra ring. It Is quite probable that be will embrace the first appor tunlty to submit the list for the ratifi cation of the council, which will be Wednesday tomorrow evening. A movement Is on foot t Pendleton to enlist sufficient Interest among the veterans of the Spanish-American war of eastern Oregon, to organise one large camp. As the only local camp now so organized Is Mdlabon camp In Pendleton, that city hopes to be made the headquarters. Every man who served In the Spanish-American war at any time between the declaration of war and July 1. UrMwil! be eli gible. see Everybody get In the harness and personally ae that the irrigation meet ing to be held in this city Saturday Is a rousing success. The time has ar rived when this Irrigation project Is closed. The land is here in abund ance. The water Is In the mountains. A natural channel from the reservoir Is already constructed. Just a little organization yet remains to perfect by all odds the greatest project for the development of this valley that has eve j been suggested. Mayor Hall In his message, paid ex- Councilman J. T. Williamson a deserv ing compliment for his faithful serv ice and practical knowledge In the matters pertaining to the Beaver creek porject, whose Judgment was univer sally accepted by the council. Not a few are reading ''The Mer chant of Venice" in expectation of hearing Hanford, who presents this great Shakespearean production in our city on the 22d of this month. t Remember to do your part to se cure an enthulastlc attendance at the Irrigation meeting to be held here Saturday. - 1 bobIvans 1'ay ClHVk CiMiie.

Evans, retired the old sea dog who took the Atlantic fleet from Hampton Roads to San ive service on account of Illness, a hero of the Spanish-American war, and the Idol of every sailor boy In the service, passed through La Granda this morning en route west on a lecture tour. The same dogged expression which has characterized him In years past, covered his countenance as he peered out of his Pullman window or nodded pleasantly In answer to salutations from those on the ground who recog nized the old war horse. t'rutrliCM at His Side. Though the admiral Is standing the wear and tear of a long lecture tour In fine shape, he keeps his crutches, con tinually near him.
