COMMITTEE
;wmg to an
Amount of Business
The fight between Ballinger and
Pinchot and Newell promises to be
come quite general and it may not
be long until it is generally known
whether or not the Roosevelt policy
concerning the forest preservation
and semi arid and arid reclamation
is to be continued.

Our irrigation project begins to as
sume more gigantic proportions as de
velopments urocoeds. Who would
have thought a few weeks ago that
there was 25,000 acreB of land south
of the river that could be Irrigated by
the Meadowbrook project. The amount
is even greater for this 25,000 acreage
does not Include an acre west of the
. railroad track, another lateral cover
ing this section would ad several
thousand more acres. When the
north ditch is run a similar surprise
may be in store for us., During a
previous mass meeting it was asser
ted that a ditch running east on both
lanes would provide water on the
Bandridge to the E. W. Oliver farm
and from there would cover quite an
area. Instead of 15,000 acres us orig
inally estimated by those In close
touch of the project it may be nearer
60,000 acres. This Irrigation move
ment Is by far the most Important
step that has been taken in Grande
Ronde valley since the securing of the
allroad.
KEEPS BUSY
The financial committee of the fair
association are busy again today en
deavoring to raise the required amount
for. the holding of the fair this fall.

committee. It is thought that In the
next few days, however, will see the
$5,000 subscribed. The business men
are responding ioyaliy to tne demanus
of the committee and are subscrib
ing generously.
