NEEDED LEGISLATION.
There u no subject more import
ant to the people of Oregon than
tb conservation and beneficial u:e
ol -iu water." None upon which
the general prosperity of the peo
ple so much depend. : All sections
are affected in a greater or lees de
gree. In order that something
may be accomplished toward se
curing adequate state legislation
in the interest of our water ueers a
State Irrigation Congress is to be
held in Portland under the aus
pices of the Portland Board of
Trade. It is to meet in the latter
part of September and will be com
posed of representatives from the
different commercial organisations
of the state who will work in con
cert for the passage of much need
ed irrigation laws.
A committee is now preparing
an irrigation measure whicb will
be considered at the congress and
which later will be submitted to
the legislature for the purpose of
enactment. It is to be modeled
after the Bien irrigation law which
has been adopted in North Dakota,
South Dakota and Oklahoma, and
which was practically adopted in
Huh in 1905.
State Engineer Lewis when in
Crook county a short time ago was
requested bv the Journal to formu
late some of the fundamental prici
pies of a good irrigation law which
in his estimation would fit the
needs of Oregon. This be consent
ed to do and made a list based up
on the beet experience of other
states. They are as follows:
1. That all unappropriated water
is the property of the state as
trustee for future usera:
2. That the state should ad
minister this great public trust in
the interest of the people.
3. That beneficial use should be
the basis, the measure and the
limit of the right to the use of
water. .
4. That for irrigation the amount
of water used shall not exceed a
certain fixed quantity per acre.
5. That this right shall be ap
purtenant to the land irrigated
and none other; that the transfer
of the land carries with it the right
and apart from the land the right
cannot be transferred except' by
due process of law.
6. That when a ditch waters
. land not the property of the ditch
owner, the right attaches to the
land on which the water is used
and not to the ditch. The owner
of the lands irrigated making the
proof of appropriation and the cer
tificate Leing issued to him.- No
certificate of appropriation should
be issued to a ditch owner for the
watering of lands not his own.
The ditch owner under our present
laws is a common carrier and is
subject to regulation as such, : . .
8. That the date of beginning
construction and date of comple
tion should be specified in the per
mit, depending upon the magni
tude of the work, and compliance
therewith, defined as due diligence
without regard to intent. Where
due diligence is shown, the date of
priority to relate back to the date
of application. Where - diligence
is lacking the priority to date from
the time of use.
9. That a system be provided
whereby the present vested rights
may eventually be determined, re
corded, in order of priority. That
provision be made for distribution
in times of scarcity in accordance
with these rights.
10. That the state refuse per
mits to the use of water where it is
clearly apparent that the limit of
the beneficial use to whicb each
stream can be put, is reached.
It pays to advertise in the Journ
al. This fact is demonstrated
every day by the results obtained.
Earl McLaughlin lost his watch
and a small ad. last week return
ed it to its owner. Mr. Butterfield
of Mitchell announced in the
Journal that he would be in Prine
ville on a certain date with a load
of berries. The fact becoming
known he was not able to reach
town with his load. He had sold
out long before he reached Prine
ville. Our merchants will also
testify to the value of effective ad
vertising. With them it is a
straight business proposition and
one that pays ten fold on the in
vestment. Cattle and horse thieves from
this time forward will find Crook
county a most unhealthy place in
whicth to do business. This was
demonstrated by the round-up
made last week by t? heriff-elect
Elkins. lie is no novice at the
business of dealing with criminals
as was shown -by the manner in
which he handled his initial ruse.
He will find the people of the coun
ty behind him in his effort to rid
the country of this undesirable
element
Representative Williamson ; is
the only member of the present
Coogrees who did not draw mile
age at this session says a Washing
ton dispatch to the Oregonian.
Had he come to Washington he
would have received about tl200
on this account. The session hav
ing closed, he has forfeited his
right to this amount. This is the
only instance known where any
member failed to collect his mile
age., ,,, ,
Prtneville made good all right.
It wan a (rreat celebration and a
crowd was here to enjoy It,
The ladle ol Prtneville deserve
great prate lor the part they took
in the celebration. It could not
have been made the success it was
without their help.
Our Are department made a splen
did showing tn the parade. The
men made a neat appearance and
the Are apparatus was appropri
ate! j decorated. The baud boys.
too, cawetn fortbelr share ol ap
plause in their natty white uniforms.
The executive committee take this
meaus ol conveying to Mr. Brewnter
their appreciation of the service
rendered in delivering the oration on
the Fourth. The Hon. J. N. William
son wa unavoidably detained on
business and could not be here. At
the last moment Mr. Brewster was
pressed Into service.
The executive committee composed
of Messrs. Rosenberg, Baldwin and
Macleod rendered efficient services to
Prlnevllle on the Fourth. There
was uot a hitch or an idle moment
from morning 'till night. Whenever
there was a moiuout to spare there
was something doing. It was a
horse race, or a foot race or some
other event to keep the crowd busy.
They worked hard to make the day
the great success It was. -
Baseball Tournament.
. Continued from first page,
crowds of spectators in the history
of the city was on hand to see the
final struggle between the two
teams. The game started off with
a rush, both teams playing with
plenty of good ginger. Antelope
started the run getting by taking
one in the second inning. Prine
ville evened up by getting two in
the third, making it two to one.
In the fifth Antelope got two more
and in the sixth by a combination
of errors and hits they annexed
three more, making the score 6 to
2 in their favor. The game look
ed like it was going to Antelope,
but here Prineville took a brace
and played one of the hardest and
best losing games ever witnessed
on the home diamond. In their
half of the 7th inning the fireworks
started. Bailey the first man up
to bat went out on a foul fly to
Rhodes. Young made a safe hit,
Zeek singled, advancing Young to
third, going to second while O'Neil
was trying to connect with the
ball. O'Neil went out on a fly to
left field. Ford made a safe single,
scoring Young and taking second
on the throw. With two men on
bases mison the next man up
was called on to do something,
He did. With two strikes on him
be got the third one to his liking
and placed one of the neatest hits
of the game in left field for three
bases scoring Zeek and Ford
That was all, Stimpson going out
on a fly to Kincaid. In the Ante
lope's half of the eighth they an
nexed another run making the
score 7 to 5 in their favor. In the
eighth inning Prineville failed to
do anything. In the Antelope's
half of the ninth they failed to
find the ball, going down in one,
two, three order. Prineville in
their half went to bat with the
fans rooting in dead earnest. Zeek
the first man up was urged to do
something and he laced out a
single. O'Neil was next np, while
he was trying to locate the ball
Zeek went down to second. With
two strikes on him O'Neil got one
that he liked, and he hit it, and it
sailed away off out into left field,
the longest hit of the series. Be
fore the ball could be returned
O'Neil had completed the circuit
of the bases with a home run to
his credit.
With no one out and the score tied
it looked like Prineville would
win in this inning, but the next
three men up went out in order.
In Antelope's half of the tenth
they failed t find the ball for hits
and Prineville came back in the
tenth and won. This is how they
did it. Spsulding the first man
up knocked out a single, Bailey
bunted advancing him to second,
Nelson in throwing to tirst, threw
the ball low and it got awy from
Carey, Spalding going to third and
Bailey to second. Young, the
next nmit up put a short hit over
third base, Spauldinn scoring the
winning run with no one out in
the tenth inning.
Prineville in winning two games
out of three from ..Antelope have
proven that they are one of the
fastest teams in Eastern Oregon,
Antelope had won two games out
of three from Urasa Valley in the
tournament held at Antelope in
June. The Urasa Valley team was
consideied to be the best in East
ern Oregon, and on the stregnth of
this Prineville claims the cham
pionship of this part of the state.

From Portland Oregoulun June IS.
It was indeed a busy sight to be
hold at the famous old "Quarter
block" yesterday. Even with the
augmented delivery service of five
large vans, which have been work
ing night and day, it was impos
sible to deliver all the instru
ments which were sold last Friday
and Saturday. Commingling with
the draymen were the carpenters,
who commenced yesterday morn
ing in deadly earnest to remove
walls and partitions preparatory
to the many alterations and im
provements that are to be made.
It does not seem to lie generally
understood, however, thai Eilers
Piano House is now practically
out of the retail city business.
The big store, like severs I of .ts
fellow-stores in the same block, is
vacant and awaiting for the new
tenants.
As stated heretofore, we were
fortunate in securing at the very
last moment a new five-year lease
on the upstairs of the block, but
the upstairs portion is now occu
pied by Portland's leading business
college, for which institution a fine,
new building is now being erected
on the corner of Tenth and Mor
rison streets. When the uew
building is completed we are to
take possession o the old premises
upstairs here. I hev will be con
verted into the most beautiful,
most convenient and best-lighted
piano salesrooms in the United
States.
Will Opn in ih Fall.
But until these many changes
are completed and possession has
been secured, Eilere Piano house is
compelled to remain out of the re
tail piano trade. As soon as pons
ible after October 1 we shall com
mence work remodeling the up
stairs premises. Convenient stair
ways and a modern elevator will
be installed. Several very fine
music studios en suite or single
will also be provided. We shall
have a fine recital hall, twice as
large as our former one; a fine
Aeolian and Pianola library room,
and also talking machine parlors
wul be some of the noteworthy
features.
The upper or western portion of
the block formerly devoted to Aeo
lian Hall will be remodeled and
rebuilt, as an entrance to the new
upstairs salesrooms, a portion also
being devoted to show windows,
delivery rooms and private offices
of toe various managers.
In the old Aeolian Hall is now
located temporarily the Pianola
subscription library, and in the
front portion will be found The
Oregonian Premium talking ma
chine record distributing depart
ment.
Office Will Semain.
The new arrangement will not
necessitate the removal of the
general and wholesale offices to
our wholesale quarters at Thir
teenth and Northrup streets. A
clever architect has solved the puz
zle as to their location by erectine
a mezzanine floor in the north of
the western portion of our quarters,
which is now being built. Here is
where the city bookkeepers and al
so the general and wholesale ac
counting departments will be lo
cated. A commodious fire and
burglar-proof safety deposit vault
is to be installed in another part
of the premises. In short, by late
Fall the establishment of Eilers Pi
ano House will be as complete, and
as thoroughly convenient, as any in
the Union, and probably equal to
the very best of them in attractive
ness.
Big Saving in Rent.
And, best of all, the new ar
rangement will mean a saving in
rent to Eilers Piano House of over
139,000 for the five-year lease, an
average of $7,800 a year. This
benefit alone will enable Eilers
Piano' House this Fall to offer
pianos and musical merchandise
on more advantageous terms than
ever heretofore.
Telephone number remains as
heretofore, "Kxchanite 2Xn City
and country collections will be
paid at the old office same ax !
ore, only that during alterations
our offices will hve to W shifted
to various portions of the hall. It
ill be the aim of contractor to
cause as little inconvenience us
possible to caller. Past and dirt
will t carefully avoided, and our
bookkeeping work will . proceed
with the very least 'interruption.
The old street number, "3M," will
le retained in reality it will be
853 though. , t ' ,
Temporary Dtspliy Room.
We have arranged to inaugurate
an automobile and carriage service
between our present quarter and
our wholesale department at the
corner of Thirteenth and Norlhrup
street, tor the. convenience of
those who desire to purchaso a
Chiikeritig, or a Weber, or a Kim
ball, or a Pianola piano, Pianola
or organ, etc., etc. Suitable tem
porary showrooms will be fitted up
at tlie warehouse to proerly dis
play the instrument.
Pianos will also bs supplied for
concerts and rentals, as heretofore.
but all applications must l nuide
at our down-town offices. 351
