OXLY THOSE BENEFITED PAY Such a large undertaking as the proposed Irrigation for Grande Ronde is bound to require considerable ex planation in order that every detail may be impressed upon the public. It is with this understanding that the Observer devotes considerable, space to the plaa knowing It to be the most important factor In development that has appeared in this valley since the first settler stirred the virgin soil. Petitions are now being circulated and by the middle of next week all signers procurable will have been ob tained In order to give proper publi cation according to law. The land owner, before signing the petition, should understand thorough ly that, unless he is benefited, he does cot pax a single dollar, no matter how nl land may be located. The state ment that all land in a district must pay for the improvement, whether it is benefited or not, is eroneous ; and untrue. And better yet, a land own er pays only as his land is benefited; this is, if one man's land is benefited considerably more than his neighbor's, tfie jnan Irecelvlhg the greatest value fni the Water Is taxed accordingly. Nothing more equitable could be found. The makers of the law under which this project is being promoted, apparently had in mind Just such a ease as, now appears in the Grande Itande valley and based their Judg ment 01 ttt I There is to be a special assessor elected by the people of the irrigated district to determine the degree of value enjoyed by each land owner, And the special assessor makes the Assessment based on that fact ' But even then the matter is not closed, and if a land owner feels that he has been assessed unjustly, he still has an appeal to what la known as a board of equalization which is com posed of men selected also by the people Interested ia the irrigated dis trict. This board adjusts all claims. It will readily be seen that the new Irrigated district has an asses sor's department of its own, which is right, because of the entirely differ ent surroundings and conditions as compared with the usual property of the county. With all these safeguards thrown around the proposition, we can sot see how it would be possible for any land owner not to receive justice. If land Is already watered, if it is wampy if it is of no value after wa-,j terian church.

Nothing is to be paid by the land owner for ten years only interest on the bond-! aud maintenance of the irrigation plant On the, eleventh year a fund begins to accumulate for payment of the bonds and at the end of twenty years the last bond is liquidated and the transaction is closed, giving the Grande Ronde valley the benefit for twenty years of an irrigation plan which la bound to increase land val uation here two hundred per renr. The Observer sincerely hopes this movement will prevail. It is t un dertaking that will bring more money Into this valley than any other thing that can be done.

Selder all of La Grande, and Miss Weil of San Francisco, who is a guest at the Wm. Ash home, have spent a rather novel week in Wallowa county. They are camped in a private car. No. 27V and the outgoing and incoming Jos eph trains move them as their fancies will. They pick the best fishing holos in the river, and when all the spreck led trout are mercilessly captured, some other choice fishing grounds are picked out and the car moved to it. The scheme is unquestionably a otr el one and that it is immensely op'i lar to the ladies is undisputed. Ang lers fear that if the party is not re moved from the trout district soon, there will not be sufficient finny Vy habitants of the riffles and trout holes to warrant further attempt in their part, for the ladles mako a clean-up wherever they go. .Mrs. Leonard Christiansen enter tained tne'Lau ToP .club Wednes day afternoon.
