ill Koad company to accept the
government's proposition and pay
its due proportion of the cost of
the necessary reservoirs, ditches,
etc., amounting, it is stated, to
about $.'50 an acre.
This would mean a large con
tribution by this corporation, hut
when it is certain that lands now
worthless would by irrigation be
come worth from $75 to $200 an
acre, the reason of this company's
refusal is not clear. It perhaps
thinks the work will be dune any
way, and it will come iri for its big
share of the benefits, while the
.small land holders will pay all of
the cost.
This is the usual and expected
course of such a concern as the W.
V. & C. M. Wagon Road company.
Having grafted the government
out of an immense area of land,
much of it very valuable, it is
quite in line with its nature to
refuse to expend anything to help
improve and build up the country,
even though it will itself be the
chief beneficiary, so long as there
is the least chance that other
people, co-operating with the
government, will do the work.
This corporation is in a poor
position to make such a refusal,
with even a surface show of grace.
It secured a vast tract of the!
people's land, alternate sections in
a wide strip clear from the Wil
lamettee valley to the eastern state
line, in consideration of which it
was to build and maintain a fine
wagon road through that region. Christmas next, then New Year's,

hunting in the same category with
railroad operation and automobile
running, when judged by mortal
ity and injury attending it.
As deer have become less plenti
ful and their haunts more" restrict
ed, a larger number of sportsmen
seek game in smaller areas, with j
a corresponding increase in the
danger of mistaking one another
for wild animals. In the states
where game is still preserved this
"mistaken for a deer" problem has
become one of the most serious
that confronts the public. S o
many accidental deaths have re
sulted that in many sections the
mortality exceeds that from fires,
iioods, famine or railway catastro
phes. No satisfactory solution of the
problem has yet been suggested.
Caution to the hunters has proved
of no avail. Sportsmen, of course,
object to a law prohibiting deer
shooting, and express themselves
as willing to take chances. But
the slaughter of human beings has
increased so rapidly that the
public demands that eomethirg
be done, and in one state it has
been suggested that the killing of
a person through mistaking him
for a deer be made a penitentiary
offense.
Of course, the difficulty will be
settled when all the deer are killed
off, as they probably will be, but
in the meantime it is unfortunate
to lose so many lives. Spokesman

The proceoils of the fair will go to furnishing the First
