Discharge Of Strike
Breakers Demanded
By Chicago Unions
CHICAGO. 111.. Sept. 16. 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.
The hitch in the negotiations with
the Northwestern, which was general
ly believed to have been completed
yesterday, would not prevent return
of the men to work by Monday, road
offlclals said. It was made plain that
the unions' settlement plan did not
call for discharge of employes at work
last Wednesday and that the road
would dismiss those employes.
The Chicago Great Western and the
Chicago & Alton railroads are expect
ed to follow the lead of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy, which yesterday
reached an agreement with its own
Bhop crafts workers by which skilled
mechanical crafts were granted a
wage rate ranging from 63 to 85 cents
an hour in place of the railroad la
bor board's flat 70 cents rate..

IRRIGATION DISTRICT AT
MOLALLA IS DISCUSSED
Movement Is Local In Nature;
No Outside Capital To Be
Used in Development Plans.
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.

PORTLAND. Sept., 16. "I have had
all I want of prohibition, women's suf
frage, streets full of booze and ben
zine wagons."
Thus did Alvin Nelson. 54, explain
why he committed suicide by hurling
his body from the Davis street dock
some time ' last night.
His coat and hat were found on the
dock this morning at 7:30 o'clock and
City Grappler Brady recovered the
body after five minutes of dragging
The following note was addressed to
the coroner:
"Old and worn out, I have taken
this means to kick the bucket, quit
and call it a day. Got all I want of
prohibition, women's suffrage, streets
full of booze and benzine wagons.
Please send my watch to Mrs. Anna
Ackander, Ocean Springs, Miss., and
cremate my carcass. Yours respect
fully, A. NELSON."
Nelson lived at 390 Salmon street
in a rooming house. Other, tenants
said that he seemed of a quiet dis
position and spent much time alone in
I ills ruum.
