While sev eral railroads today were negotiating separate agreements with their shop crafts workers in accord with the union partial settlement plan, ana others were preparing to meet rep resentatives of their . own employes outside the settlement plan. It was learned that some of the shop craft ionira nn the Chicago & Northwest ern railroad were demanding the dis missal of men hired to fill the places of union men who went on strike July 1.

MOLALLA, September 13. The ad visability of forming an irrigation dis- tric in the Molalla vicinity was ois cussed at a recent meeting here, at which J. H. Abbot, irrigation engin eer outlined the entire situation. Some tfine ago when there was talk of getting a sugar factory here, it was stated by sugar men that they would consider the proposition only where there was irrigation which would as sure every years output. Mr. Abbot made a survey. He explained that this survey showed that the plan was feasible and very cheap compared with what other people are paying for wa ter. This was owing to the lay of the land and the fact that there was no expensive blasting or trellising. He was sure that the scheme was entirely practical. State Engineer Cupper was present and made an address on irrigation and the law governing projects under the state supervision. He answered many questions regarding the proposed en terprise. Professor Powers of O. A. C, soil and irrigation expert, made a very interesting talk on the subject. The experiments at the college cover a period of 14 years and, with an ex pensive pumping plant, have proven that each year on all field crops, irri gation has paid a big per cent. The advantage to fall wheat showed up the smallest. Other crops show ed from forty to one hundred per cent gain from irrigation. The experiments have been made on all sorts of soils. Even the white land showed a response to water, which sald that if tne . tlic oxnPTisiVA evstem Of nnmninr heen madn to Dav he " . , could not see that there was a doubt of a cheap gravity system paying big diidends. Ex-State Engineer Lewis was pres- ' ent and called attention to a fact, not generally known, that the rainfall in the Willamette Valley over a long period of years had been less than most other sections of the United States and less than in Wyoming and New Mexico and other places where they never attempt to farm except wbre they have Irrigation. M. J. Lee, of Canby, said Molalla had the first chance at the water of the Molalla River, and if they did not want to take advantage of it; Canby would. He called attention to some results which had been obtained here by irrigation, for truck farmers. A petition was circulated asking that a thorough investigation be made -rotrti T-rl in rr the nnet ni1 sienifviner the signers interest in forming an irriga tion district. This was signed by twenty seven, many owners of large acreage. The movement is entirely a local one. There are no outside promoters and it is purely cooperative with every one anxious to .gather all of the facts and to be sure of each step taken. The state will require the facts and to be sure of each step taken. The state will require knowledge of the cost or the enterprise and will go into every phase of its feasibility before endors ing the project. L. A. Shave, was elected president and Oliver Buxton secretary of the organization, to hold until a perman ent organization is effected. Jaded by Modern Life; Man Trows Self In Willamette PORTLAND.
