WIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE SCNERAL OFPICCS NEW YORK AND CHICAGO RANCHES IN ALU THE PRINCIPAL CITIES FIXANOKD 1RRKJATIOX Within a month workmen will commence the task of remodeling and extending the old and con structing the new canals and later als of the Ochoco Irrigation district ear Prineville. By the first of Hay, 191S, these canals will be in atape to spread water over some X600 acres of fertile land. By May i, 1919, the entire flood waters of 'Ochoco creek, or as much as may fee Deeded, will be impounded be hind a dam ready for the reclama tion of 22,000 acres of hay and pain land. Bonds of the face value f 900,000 have been asold to in sure the completion ot the construc tion work. It means a good deal to the peo ple who own the land, to the stock :en of the Crook County district, to the state. It means that the fear f crop failures will cease within the boundaries of the Irrigation dis trict and that where meager returns lave been gained by dry farming in the past, always proportionate to the kindliness of the season, de ' sendence can annually be placed in tone 44,000 tons of alfalfa or its equivalent in alfalfa and grain com bined. TbJ& is the second irrigation proj ect approved by the irrigation se curities commission created by the! 1917 legislature since that act be came effective. lit indicates that the act, by stabilizing the securities f sane and feasible Irrigation proj ects, will enable the securities of such projects to find a market. As a Jesuit the development of irrigated &nds will go on apace in Oregon. Some day the federal government r- the state, perhaps the govern ment and the state, will realize the Jardships and the unrequited toil that confronts the man who Is will ig to go upon the raw land of the desert to reclaim.it, and will come to his relief with adequate legisla tion and financial aid. When that lime arrives the waste places will Secome gardens and the deserts will eiisEppear. Men who have money to loan lesitate to accept untamed arid leaches, no matter how potentially fertile they may be, as the basis lor credit. It is no easy matter to transmute a rough stretch ot sage arush into a field ot alfalfa or an rehard. There is a long, heart aending struggle between the break i.g plow and the harvest. The settlers on the two projects approved by the irrigation securi ties commission have gone through that purgatory. They have battled with the desert and have subdued S- in such partial degree that Honeyed men will accept the values their industry has shifted from the potential to the actual as the basis dor financial aid. They have reached iie point where the money lender can be reasonably certain of their access and is willing to back his vision with cash. Editorial in firegon Journal, Aug.20. , o WHY THIS DELAY? Have you made a trip from Prine ille to Redmond by auto stage re cently? If so, you perhaps have wondered why it is necessary to 3ave Prineville at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, to catch a train that does sot leave Redmond until after 9:30, more than six and a half hours liter. The men who operate these stage Unes wish to be in Redmond on the arrival of the south bound train, which is about 7 o'clock. This is necessary for the opera tion of their business, but if the atages left Prineville at 5:30 they could yet make this train, but better Jet, one car at least and two if pos sible, should leave Prineville after 7 each evening. Thli is not a criticism ot the men who operate the stage lines, but is a matter of importance to the com munity and should be Investigated. o THANK YOU GKXT1.KMKN The Crook County Journal, of Prineville, recently issued a 32-page livestock special edition which does great credit to whom? We start ed to say to the Journal, out that would be only partially true. There are doiens of papers in Oregon who could have got out Just as good an edition. Why don't they do It? Simply because they can not get the advertising support necessary. Then shall we give the credit to the busi ness men of Prineville? In part, but not wholly, because at least eight ot the pages wore made pos sible solely by reason ot the patron age of business men of North Port land. Why did they advertise In the edition? Without doubt because the matter was properly put up to them. So we will have to take our hats off to the advertising solicitor. He was the man behind the guns. Eugene, Ore., Guard. The Crook County Journal, of Prineville, has issued a livestock number consisting of 32 pages of interesting matter on that important industry of Central Oregon. The edition is well illustrated in metro politan style and presents a fine ap pearance. The livestock Industry is one of Crook County's greatest as sets, and is well represented in this issue of the Journal Albany, Ore., Democrat. The splendid 32-page special issue of the Crook County Journal, de voted to the stock industry of Cen tral Oregon, is a tribute to the en ergy of Editor La toilette. The is sue has been under preparation lor some time and contains a number ot articles by leading authorities on topics pertinent to the industry in this section.. The issue was well patronized by local advertisers and others interested in this section. Bend, Ore., Press. A monument to the ambition of the editor, Guy Lafollctte, the Crook County Journal, Prineville, came from the press last week a 32-page special devoted to the livestock in dustry of Central Oregon. We praise and send to the folks back east the annuals of the metropolitan dailies, but the work of the big papers, which have armies of news gather ers, batteries of linotype machines and huge power presses, is compar atively easy beside the great task of issuing a special edition in a country office with its limited facili ties. Thus, comparatively speaking, we believe the Journal special one of the best we have ever Been in the west Hood River, Ore., Glacier. The Crook County Journal should be complimented for its extra large livestock edition just off the press. It gives an interesting history of the livestock industry in Crook County and Central ' Oregon as a whole Ft.

Washington. This week's program ot congress promises to be one of tha most Important of the war session. A decision by the senate on how far wealth shall be conscripted In the war tax bill, passage by the house of tha 1 11,638,000.000 new war credit bill and the soldiers' and sailors' Insur ance measure and the launching of a new deficiency appropriation bill ag gregating betweeu M.SIlll.UOO.OOO and Jit.ooo.oiHi.OOO are among the things to be done. After a month virtually In recess under a "gentlemen's agreement" to transact no buniness, the house re convened Tuesday prepared to remain at work until rvcens or adjournment of the Reunion. Most of the leaders now think that hardly 'will bo before) October 1 or 15. Unless plans of administration lead ers go awry, the $11,538,000,000 war bond and certificate and soldiers' and sailors' insurance bills will be passed by the houe before the end of the week. Senate leaders have little hope of pausing the war tax bill before next week. Prospects of further Increases , In taxes on Incomes and war profits give basis lor the belief that the measure as it comes from the senate will be so nearly acceptable to the house that only brief conferences will be neces sary. An 80 per cent tax on war profits will be demanded by a group of sen ators who are determined upon an up ward revision of this section in the war revenue bill. 5 PER GENT OF ARMY TO REPORT SEPT. 5 Washington. Only 5 per cent of the national army all! be mobilized Sep teniber 6. Instead ot 30 per cent orig Inally planned. This was announced by Provost Mar shal General Crowdcr. Forty per cent will go September 19 and 40 per cent October 3. Thf remaining IS per cent will go "aa soon as practicable," This latest change In plans Is due to congest Ion in traffic entailed In early September by movement of the national guard to training camps. The object of calling only 5 per cent Is to place in the camps enough to form a skeleton organization to assist in receiving and assimilating the lar ger contingents later. Boards are re quested to select men with prevlout military training for the first 5 pel cent. One per cent of the quota of each I board will be sent on each of five consecutive days beginning Septetnbei 5 so that the movement will not be completed until September 9.
