Governor Benson says he win can a special session of the legislature to pass the ICth amendment to the Fed eral constitution, but it will be sub mitted to the next regular session. The coming fair is the next big thing of a public nature that will In terest the county as a whole. The encouragement the committee is re ceiving is certainly a stimulus for them to make this the greatest fair " held In the county for years. : pp With one railroad, and possibly two headed into central Oregon, we may not hear so much regarding the enact ment of a constitutional amendment for the building of state railroad. While the suggestion met with no strong opposition there is really no enthusiasm toward it. Our state is out of debt and there are few who would have it otherwise. , President Taft and President Diaz will meet at Elpaso, Texas, October 16. President Taft is one of the big gest presidents of the biggest re publics on earth and President Diaz is one of the biggest presidents of one of the smallest republics on earth. This meeting will doubtless result in closer relations between these two adjoining republics. A great deal of American capital has poured Into Mexico within the past few years and the Mexican government Is giving It welcome. s-$ : THE PROBABLE OPENING PRICE. Bluest em wheat is quoted today in Portland at one dollar per bushel, which means about 85 cents In Grande Ronde valley, and this is the price .,. that the market is expected to start off with and will probably remain at about this figure throughout the season. With our large yield and this exceptional renumerative price there will be all kinds of money in this county this year. The hayman has reason to rejoice here also there is no trouble to secure $13 for good timothy and alfalfa commands attrac tive figures. In fact what is there that Is produced in large quantities In this county that is not bringing in top notch prices? i .NEW IKHHUTION PKOJECT.

The Jordan valley irrigation com pany is promoting the new project with George S. Parks and Fred J. Palmer in charge. It Is understood that there are a large number of prominent eastern Oregon eup'.tallBts backing the deal and that the project is not only a feasible one but will have an excellent water supply as ,-well as place under irrigation some of the finest land In the eastern part of Oregon.
