To those who doubt that the di
rectors of the Grande Ronde Reser
voir company are pushing the Irriga
tion project with all possible speed,
the following figures may be of some
interest. For the land that will be
covered with water after the dam is
completed, they have paid or con
tracted to pay nearly $21,500, as fol

13500; to Ayers, 175 acres, $2500: to
I Hill, 320 acres, $12000; McMillan, 480
I acres. $2880; to the Grande Ronde
Lumber company, 200 acres, $600. In
all, the total Is 1495 acres at an av
erage price of nearly $14.50 per acre.
For the Hill place they paid $37.50
per acre, but for none of the other
land were they compelled to make an
outlay of more than $14.50 per acre.
They are to be commended for the
course which permitted all this land

PRESIDENT SETS NEW MODE AT
WHITE HOUSE.
With His Other Peculiarities sro His
Batching Stunt.
WASHINGTON, July 27. (Special)
President Taft is enjoying another
distinction. He Is the most promin
ent "summer bachelor" In the coun
try. Ever since the' 8th of the month
When he took his family down to Bev
erly and left thera there to enjoy the
cool breezes of Salem Bay, he has
been leading a single life, and since
returning to Washington on the 9th,
has "bached it" at the White House.
Colored Mary her other name un
known at the White House is the
president's cook and as she la an ex
pert at preparing hoe cakes and fried
chicken., as well as many other tooth
some southern dishes, the president
is not Buffering the pangs of hunger
during Mrs. - Taffs absence. When
Mrs. Taft went to Beverly she took
with her Miss Jetfetson, the house
keeper, and the chief cook. Mary
seems to be running the culinary end
of the White House JuBt at present
very well so well, in fact, that the
president generally has two or three
guests at luncheon and dinner.
Most of the afternoons are devoted
to golf by the president, and since the
extreme hot weather began he has
taken to automobile riding of even
ings. As soon as dinner is over, the
big touring car rolls up to the White
House porta cochere and the presi
dent climbs In. Usually he is ac
companied by Captain Archibald
Butt, his chief military aid, or some
member of the cabinet The evening
rides are taken in the neighborhood
of Rock Creek park - or around the
Potomac drive below the Washington
monument The president rises at
7:30 In the morning, exercises with
dumb bells for fifteen or twenty min
utes, and breakfasts shortly after 8.
He Is at his office by 9:30 a. m.
Of late he has broken away from
time honored convention, and has ta
ken an occasional informal dinner at
one of the embassies or legations.
The first embassy thus to be honored
by having the presidential feet be?
neath its table was that of France.
Ambassador Jusserand - Is quite as
popular with the present administra
tion as he was with with the preced
ing one. This, despite the fact that
he plays tennis, but knows nothing
of golf.
