His address showed that he had care
fully considered all phases of the mat
ter and that his company actually is in
position to receive subscriptions for
water to tie delivered within a reasoaa
ble time, and much interest was taken
iu his proposition by the members pres
ent.
Mr. Miller, living west of Med ford
in the foothills, suggested making tippli
ration to the United States reclamation
service to induce the government to
come to the aid of our farmers and
land holders, but on discussion of this
proposal it was disclosed thai OreouV
shure of the reclamation funds is al
ready exhausted and that it will be tea
years before the government could fa
vorably consider an application, even
should it be possible to get (he properly
owners to sign up the necessary propor
tion of the lands to be covered by
the proposed ditch.
Old Wator Rights.
In this connection it developed thai
much of the water iu the streams iu the
foothills has long been appropriated and
vested rights intervene on every side
between I lie fruitgrower and the water
he may wish to secure for orchard pur
poses, It is the old story of the public
goiu to sleep mid on awakening to find
that turn have had sagacity enough to
appropriate what no one else seemed
to want, feeling badly over it. The puli
lie will always have to buy what i
wants, and so will our fruitgrowers, bul

much watrr available ia the foothill:

Chiuigo in Sentiment.
J he htghliuo ditch recentlv proposed
by the Kish Lake Hitch companv was
Hot discussed, nor was any proposition
submitted by that company, but it will
received consideration from t lie corn
Diittee, as a very different sentiment
is now entertained by fruitgrowers iu
gelation to t hat enterprise than was I
held at the time application wan made
for ;tlHUI acres to be subseribed before
the Pittsburg bankers would take ov. r
the property. There is a strong prob

t.stimales made by the slieepinen of

big decrease iu the number of rheej

It is estimated that in PH'tl not less
than .'MM.oiHl sheep were run on the
iarige oi mat county, Iut this venr
there are less than L'Od.ilihl. This do
rease has cut down the revenue of the
ounty and has (woi manv of the
former wool growers out of the busi
ness, the things that have contributed
to the reduction are that range has been
scarce since the er.-ai inn of the for
est reserves, that the price of wool
has gone down, the high price of car
easses last year, and llir fact that many

POHTLAXD. Or., Sept. 7. (Special
Correspondence.) llillsboro, the pros
perous nnd growing capital of Washing
ton county, is celebrating its second
rail connection with Portland, the last
being an electric line.
The Oregon state fair opens next
Monday, September 14, and continues
through the week. Tho showing off all
kinds of products, as well as the live
stuck und industrial display and a great
race program, without pool selling, in
sures one of the best fairs Oregon has
ever held.
Coshocton Man Talks.
Immediately following the Oregon
state fair is the Portland Country club
and livestock show, and it is certain
that these two weeks, during which live
stock will be foremost in the minds of
the people of Oregon, will huve much
to do with the more rapid development
of that important industry,
J. II. McMillan, now past So years
of age and temporarily residing in Cosh
octon, O., writes: ' Having lived in
Oregon (SO years and behoving it to
be the best country in the United States
I take pleasure in sending people there
who are looking for a home. Jtheuma
tism has a firm grip on me, and 1 am
unable to labor, but 1 can talk of Ore
gon and spread Oregon literature and
will be glad to receive sanio from all ,
parts of the slate. J havu been able
to send many people to Oregon, uud
they have written that they were glad I
they made the change. " Oregon ians
should remember that there are thou
sauads more to come on the colonist
rates of September and October.

The hurry up and build movement

society a reward for his toil commen
surate with his contribution to the wel
fare of society, and unless some other
party can do the work better, the dem
icratic party ought to have the support
of all, whether thev belong to the wage
earning class or occupy positions in
which thev direct the efforts of others.
If mi officer iu tho industrial tinny
were sure that his children and his chil
dren's children would inherit his posi
tion, he might feel possibly indiffer
ent as to those under his command,
but the children of those who todav
work for wages mav emplov the chil
dren of those who iu this general con
vention are employers. This uncertain
ty as to future generations, as well as
our sense of justice, should lead us to
make tin1 government as nearly perfect
as possible, for a good government is
the best legacy that a parent can leave
to Ins child. Kichcs may take the
wings of the morning and fly away, but
government is permanent, and we can
not serve posterity better than by con
tributing to the perfection of the gov
ernment, that each child born into the
world may feel that it has here an op
portiinity for the most complete devel
opment, and a chance to secure through
service the largest possible happiness
and honor. ' '

Sisters' main endeavor is to work for
