Norris, one of the prom inent farmers of the county. Influ ential In farm organization, was one of the men who led the popular de mand for a 'change in the wording of he original contract. Yesjjrday, when a revised contract was present ed to him, he promptly signed up all land he has available tor water. The action of Mr. Norrla is Indicative of the popular opinion of the ' equity of the present contract ' The com mittee which opened the campaign was Fred J. Holmes, president,; Sec retary J. E. Reynolds, and William Miller, director, all officers of the Grande Ronde Irrigation company. The first day waa auspicious In many respects. About 60 per cent of the farmers were not at home when the committee called, but another com mittee is going over the same ground tuuttjr wuu ihw uueut or meeting ail those they failed to consult yester day It is the general opinion among the directors, that with hard, con scientous work for a week ,a great majority of the subscriptions will liave been obtained. The amount actually subscribed V in black and while last night is 1180 acres, but there are large subscriptions that merely need the official signature and indentations. Among these Is the Bennet subscription of 1100 " acres. Mr. Bennett will come up from The Dalles soon to affix his name for that amount , - ' ; The committee which is out today consists of J. D. McKennon, F, L. Meyers and J. E. Reynolds. It is believed that the subscriptions today will outstrip the initial day's re- ."nits by a good margin. ,3Iine President Dead Boston, March 2ff.
