Water Will Be Distributed
Over Franklin County,
MILLIONS FOR IRRIGATION
Quarter of SUIUon Arid Acres Soon
te Become Fertile Fields Rail
road Holdings Have Been
-Secured.
WAULA "WALLA, Wash., May 31. (Spe
cial.) The arrival of a large party of Seat
tle people here to file on desert landf
claims In southern Franklin County has
disclosed the biggest Irrigation project yet
seen in the state. It la stated that Seat
tle, New York and Boston capitalists will
epend $3,500,000 on the irrigation o the
northeastern part of Yakima County and
the southern part of Franklin County, an
aggregate of about 250,000 acres.
The enterprise is a unique one. "Water
is to he stored in Lakes Kitchelos, Katch
lees and Cleelum, in Kittitas County, near
the summit of the Cascade Mountains.
These lakes constitute, it Is said, almost
natural reservoirs, and can -with light ex
pense be made fine storage reservoirs.
From tho lakes, one of which Is the
source of the Yakima River, while others
ore sources of tributaries of the Yakima,
water will be run down the Yakima In
the Summer months as far as Prosser,
where It will be diverted Into a ditch,
carried across Northeastern Yakima,
across the Columbia in a steel tube, and
hence across southern Franklin County.
The company claims to have secured full
possession of all the Northern Pacific
holdings under the proposed ditch, aggro
gating about 40,000 acres.
WHITMAX CO-EDS PLAY BASEBALL.
Everything Benl About the Game, In
cluding1 the I'lnylnp:.
"WHITMAN COLLEGE. Walla "Walla,
Wash., May 3L (Special.) The great
topic of Interest at "Whitman College Is
the game of baseball which the girls
played yesterday afternoon. None of the
boys knew anything about It until after
It was all over. The game was between
the two girla" literary societies, was three
innings long and lasted two hours. Pro
fessor Allen, the famous football coach,
umpired the game and coached the fair
players in the great American game.
Balls, a bat, mask and tips were bor
rowed in the morning on one pretext or
another and shortly after dinner the
young ladies, chaperoned by the ladles,
members of the faculty hied themselves to
a secluded spot on the outskirts of "Walla
"Walla and prepared for the contest. A
cute little diamond was laid out, sofa
Pillows marking the base", and an old
signboard home plate. Bloomers were
the uniforms of both teams and the balls
and bats were the real article.
The girls are very proud of the score
made. Two hours of fast and furious play
ing resulted In the close score of 20 to 19.
The Llbethrean Society after starting out
briskly with seven tallies in the first in
ning .finally lost to the Phllolothian. The
girls speak with bated breath as they re
count some of the thrilling plays of the
day. One tells how she made a home
run stealing bases. Another of tho great
play made by the second basewoman leap
ing a barb-wire fence in pursuit of a long
fly, and the great slide to second. How the
star player of the LIbethreans missed a
eofa cushion while circling the diamond
and went back two minutes later and
touched it before the Philos could put her
out. It was a great, exciting game, from
start to finish, watched with intense In
terest by nearly every co-ed In the in
stitution. 1VESTOX NORMAL COMMENCEMENT.

XOT A LEGAL HOLIDAY.
Today Does Xot Fill the Require
ments of the Larr.
SALEM. Or., May 3L (Special.) Many
people are of the opinion that Monday,
June L will be a holiday throughout the
First Congressional District on account of
the election to bo held on that day. An
Inspection of the law on the subject
shows that there la no law making It a
holiday. Section 291S of the code makes
a holiday of every day upon which an
election Is held throughout the state, but
June 1 does not answer this definition.
The Supreme Court will not sit Monday,
but Its adjournment over the day was for
convenience and not because of any legal
requirement.

WHY HE SIGNED IT TWICE
J. P. ROBERTS OX MAKES PUBLIC
HIS EXPL AX ATI OX.
First LevriB and Clarlz Referendum
Petition Was Resorted, to
Be Legally Defective."
SALEM. Or., May 27. To the' Editor.)
Without so much as deigning to ask me
for an explanation, your Salem corre
spondent wrote you that I had twice
signed the petition for a referendum of
the Lewis and Clark Exposition. I had
decided not to notice this apparent un
fairness until I read your editorial of
May '25. Now I ask for space for a plain,
unvarnished statement of bottom facts.
It was reported in Salem and credited by
me that the petition first circulated here
and which I had signed was found to be
legally defective and had been withdrawn;
that another conforming to the statute
had been drawn and was being circulated,
and which I also signed. I aimed to sign
once, and only once, and for the follow
ing reasons:
First I believe that when there is so
large a sum as $500,003 to be taken from
the pockets of 'the people for such an un
usual purpose as this, that the people who
EUGEXE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDTXG TO BE FIXISHED THIS SUM-
MER.
EUGENE, Or., May 30. (Special.) The above Is an Illustration of the
new Eugene High School building, taken from the architect's drawings.
It is to be erected during the present Summer, and will cost about $23,
000, and will be one of the hest high school buildings in the state. It
will occupy ground recently purchased by the School Board, on the
corner of Willamette and Eleventh streets, adjacent to the present Cen-r
tral School building. It will be of stone and brick, and will be modern
throughout, with steam-heating plant and all modern Improvements.
have earned and must pay the money
should have an opportunity to say wheth
er or not they f-vor the appropriation and
are willing to bear the increased burden.
This Is surely within natural right, and
If the constitutional amendment is the
supreme law, then it is also their consti
tutional right.
Second I think it will be generally con
ceded that the Interests that will profit
most by tho Fair, If held, will b& the
railroads and Portland, which Is prac
tically Multnomah County. The beneficial
effects on other interests and other parts
of the state will be relatively small when
compared with these. Yet almost from
the time the mind of man runneth not to
the contrary the railroads and Portland
have been systematically shirking a large
part of their just and equitable share of
the burden of state taxes, robbing the
state of. its dues and throwing an addi
tional and unjust burden on other and
poorer counties and the poorer people and
farmers therein.
This Is a pretty broad and bold state
ment, I admit. Let us see the re
corded facts. Thirteen years ago (1SS0)
the true value of the railroads in tho
state was $75,000,000. For a number of
years now the years by which their taxes
for the Fair will be levied they were as
sessed at only $6,500,000. less than 9 per
cent of their true value 13 years ago. The
true -value now is probably $100,000,000, pos
sibly $125,000,000. To bear the increased
burden of this Fair appropriation they,
profiting most by the Fair, will pay taxes
on only from $6 to $9 of each $100 of their
property. From $90 to JJU evades the Just
demands of the taxgatherer. Farms and
little homes are assessed at about 30 per
cent of their true value, or about four
times as high, relatively, as the rail
roads. Now for Multnomah County. About 10
or 12 years ago Multnomah County was
assessed by her own officers at $61,000,000.
Then they began to lowor their assess
ment. When the State Board was abol
ished and they had a free hand they
dropped to $31,000,000. only a fraction over
half what it was eight years before. Then
the Infamous Geer-Booth bill fixed nearly
that lowest assessment as Multnomah's
proportion of state taxes for five years.
I am not far from the exact truth when
I say that in these five years Multnomah
will shirk enough of her equitable share
of state taxes to pay half her Increased
taxes on account of the Fair, and which
other counties will be compelled to pay.
It Is easy to be patriotic to the extent of
sending your wife's relations to war. It
is pot much less so for Portland to be
public-spirited, enterprising yes, even
charitable when she garners the profits
and the remainder cf the state pays a
largo share of the bills. This reason Is
Immensely strengthened by consideration
of the course of Multnomah's delegation
In the last and previous sessions of the
Legislature.
All attempts to correct tbene Intoler
able abuses have been resisted and de
feated by the members from Multnomah.
During the last sssslon it was currently
lepcrted that in order to secure the early
passage of their charter bill and Fair bill
the members from that county had given
assurance that they would support meas
ures to equalize the burdens of taxation.
The unsophisticated "chumps" from the
country believed, and voted through these
measures. They found later, in the lan
guage of a member, that their bills had
been "kicked out of the window," Served
them right.
You did me the much appreciated honor
to say that I had filled the Salem and
Portland papers with facts and figures.
Thank you. Thinking that you will ap
preciate them, I give you some more
facts.
Third Notwithstanding the opinions of
our greatest Jurists and lawyers, Will
iams. Boise. Ford and ex-Senator Turner,
of Washington, I fear there Is serious
doubt about our constitutional amend
ment having been constitutionally pro
posed and adopted. This I hoped to sea
settled as soon as possible. If It is not
now a part of -the constitution, tho sooner
we know it the better.
Fourth Tho Oregonlan attempted, and
perhaps successfully, to bulldoze the vot
ers of the state by threatening to publish
the names of those who should dare to
sign this petition. Such arrogance should
be. and some day will be, rebuked.
For these reasons I signed the petition
for a referendum of the appropriation for
the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Nor
does all this prove, as you assert, that I
am "feminst" everything po, not even
the Fair. I am quite certain that had our
laws been so amended as to secure equal
taxation, and tho time for the Fair op
portune, I should gladly have voted for
it when submitted to popular ypte. We
had the Pan-American Fair at Buffalo in
190L the Charleston Fair in 1S02, and will
have a- World's Fair at St Louis n 1904.
We must depend largely on the people of
the great West to make our Fair a finan
cial success. "WJU not those people be al
ready surfeited with world's expositions,
pull tightly their purse-strings and refuse
to deplete further their bank accounts by
a trip to the Pacific Coast just to see the
Lewis nnd Clark Exposition? "What then?
A deficiency bill? We shall see what we
shall see. It was a woeful mistake to
date it before 1S07.
You say you do not refer to this Inci
dent to humiliate me. I am so glad you
tell us this. Otherwise I would have been
Just fool enough to have supposed that to
be your premeditated purpose. Now I
know better. Who now could doubt but
that you were Inspired by the most lov
able charity to me? Not I.
You say I "railed against General "W.
F. Odell for having a desk In the State
Land Office." Here you evidently mix
me up with the versatile woodland
statesman from Mehama and the Repub
lican legislative committee. My com
munication, published in The Oregonlan
nearly two years ago, contained no "rail
ing" nor dishonorable accusations against
General Odell, nor his conduct of his pri
vate business. I did try to show hat the
custom, followed from the organization
of the State Land Offlce,, of having private
parties hunting up base lands was bad.
liable to abuse, subjecting purchasers to
needless expense and the state to great
lose. And Governor Chamberlain, in his
inaugural, fully Indorsed theso views.
Let me say here and now, once for
all, that the law specifically made It the
duty of the State Land Agent to hunt
up the base to which the state was en
titled, and to make "a record of the
same, to be open to all who wished to
purchase state school lands. But If that
officer failed to do his duty, and General
Odell or any other man did find such
base, while not In the employ of the
state, and some man wanted It and was
willing to pay for It, It would" be a per
fectly legitimate transaction for General
Odell or any other man to sell it. If he
sold good base, it would be an honest
transaction If bad, and he knew It, it
would be dishonest.
However, if General Odell or any other
man was In the employ of the state and
it was his duty to find base for the
state's customers, and then charged for
It, oi if not In the employ of the state
and by collusion, or agreement, express
or Implied, influenced the state's agent
not to secure base, but to leave that field
open to him, then in either case ho
would be censurable. If Mr. Busby and
the committee failed, they failed right
here. However, on this point I have not
hitherto expressed an opinion, or written
a line. I am not now, nor have I ever
been, engaged in hunting up base, mineral
or any other. If I knew where it was
to be found, and could sell that knowl
edge to some one who wanted base, I
would consider it a perfectly legitimate
and honorable transaction.
The practice of tho State Land Agent
in turning over to private base hunters
the business of hunting base was vicious
in principle, contrary to tho purpose of
the law, and had worked injustice to
purchasers, and great loss to the school
fund. To this extent was my contention
Bent in a letter" to The Oregonlan. It
was published under display headlines, as
an interview of your Salem correspond
ent with me. Ha tells me that when he
Inquire. why it was so published, whon
he had never seen It until In cold type,
the reply was that It was too good to
allow an outsider ths credit for It.
Now, to discredit me, you write Into
that article that which I did not write
in It, or at least give it an interpretation
which a fair construction will not war
rant. In other words. you then sought
to appropriate the credit of my article,
and now seek to pay me by returning
to It something to discredit me. "Very
well. If you will allow me space and
pencils and paper hold out. I can hold
my own. "Lay on, MacDuff."
As to my own school land business. I
never had an office in the Statehouse, as
you intimate, more than any other hum
ble citizen. While studying the tax ques
tion, I discovered that many who bad
bought school lands were delinquent In
their payments, far beyond the period
tolerated by the law. That, whlie the
state was receiving neither principal nor
Interest on these purchasers' notes, they
had all the benefits of ownership, and
yet escaped all taxes state, county and
school and that the Board, in palpable
disregard of the unmistakable mandate
of the law It had sworn to execute, was
neglecting to enforce the law.
In searching the records I found some
who had paid up in full, but had taken
no deed; others who had paid all but a
"mere pittance, which under the slack ad
ministration of the Board, they were also
allowed to withhold, both with evident
purpose to avoid taxation. Until deed
issues, the land is nontaxable. In many
cases the delinquency was so far beyond
the toleration of the law that the law
declared the land vacant, and directed
the Board to sell It, as thoueh It had
never been sold. I decided that some of
these delinquent tax shirkers must pay
or give place to others who would. So
I prepared the plats, had It cruised, lo
cated, purchasers, and charged a fee. I
did not rob the school fund of one cent.
On the other hand, I have been Instru
mental in putting- hundreds of dollars into
the fund, and would have added other
hundreds, if the Board had strictly
enforced the law But lor this I claim
so credit. I was working foe myself
ami friends. But you, yourself, exonerate
me from all censure when you say: "Un
doubtedly his land transactions were en
tirely legal." Thank you.

COUNT I ES ALL 1 INTEREST ED
STATE FAIR. HAS BECOME A STATE
WIDE AFFAIR.
Best Displays Made This Year Will
Be Used by Commissioners in
Greater ExpositieB.
SALEM. Or., 3ay 3L (Special.) The
success of this year's State Fair will
contribute In a considerable degree to the
success of the Lewis and Clark Centen
nial In 1903. While the Lewis and Clark
Fair Commissioners havti not determined
definitely what encouragement they will
glva the State Fair, it 13 known that they
expect to secure many of the best ex
hibits after th fair this isau 10 pe
preserved for the Centennial Exposition
two years hence. Some inducements wm
therefore bo offered to exhibitors at the
State Fair to put forth their greatest ef
forts to produce something novel and su
perior In quality.
Those who prepare the best exhibits for
the State Fair may feel reasonably cer
tain" that the best of their products will be
wanted for the Lewl3 and Clark Fair, and
this should serve as an additional Induce
ment to farmers, fruitgrowers, etc-, to
enter the competitions at Salem in Sep
tember. Though the weather thus far has not
been the most favorable, many farmers,
fruitgrowers, gardeners and other produc
ers have made very satisfactory progress
In starting crops for exhibit purposes, The
State Fair Board, under the authority of
an Increased appropriation by th Legisla
ture, promises larger premiums than ever
before, and particularly large prizes for
the county exhibits. This haa encouraged
intending exhibitors to take greater care
than usual of their erops grown for entry
at the Fair, and It may be expected that
the displays this Fall will be by far tha
best ever seen at the Fair Grounds. The
Lewis and Clark Fair managers will find
much material gathered together at Sa
lom which will be worth preserving for
the great Exposition In Portland in 1905.
The growth of the State Fair in the last
five or six years and the Increased Inter
est that is taken in this annual exposition
have passed all expectations. The same
local pride and deslro to advertise the re
sources of the community or state which
have made the State Fair a success will
go far toward accomplishing a similar re
sult for the 1905 Fair. In the last few
years the people of Oregon have ceased
to look upon the State Fair as a local en
terprise, but residents of every portion of
the commonwealth have aided In making
It an Institution broad enough to repre
sent the entire state. A similar dlsposl
tlon Is being manifested toward the Lewis
and Clark Exposition, and when the gates
open to admit the public to view tne ex
hlblts there displayed, it will be found
that farorr Curry and narney nave con
trlbuted their share toward making tho
great Fair a success.
The State Board of Agriculture, by Its
broad and liberal management of the
State Fair, has done much to unite the
people of the entire state in every enter
prise that tends to promote the welfare
of all sections.
The members of the State Board of Ag
riculture have assured the managers of
the Lewis and Clark Fair of their readi
ness heartily to co-operate In any work
that may help to make the latter Exposi
tion more creditable to the state, and
this friendly feeling among all those In
terested In either of these enterprises
gives assurance of beneficial results to
both. Those who are particularly Inter
ested in the preparations for the Lewis
and Clark Fair will help make the State
Fair a success, and those who have
charge of the State Fair will miss no op
portunity to aid In the work, that must
be dona for the 1903 Exposition.

Mrs. Anna Brown, Red Lodge, Montana.
A person who is suffering from heart dis
ease is in jest as much danger as the fool
hardy lad who ventures on thin ice at the
first appearance of freezing weather. Heart
disease is the most common cause of sudden
death. Statistics show that one person in
every four have a weak heart, that weak
hearts are as common as a weakness of any
other organ. When the heart is weak the
pulse is irregular, the blood is thin and poor,
the circulation sluggish, cans tog cold extrem
ities. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure is a great heart
and blood tonic, it regulates the heart's
action, improves the circulation and sends a
stream of pure, red blood through every vein
and artery, renewing health ano. strength.
