ea bow tbey ibow their faith In tba
country by their work.
euppose wa look at tba town for a
momtnt It's altltuda la Sili feet- It
la a Daw place. Tba paint and varnish
of tba first bulidlna-s ara scarcely dry.
Tha a-radlna- of the streets la Incom
plete. Tha cement sidewalks bear only
a. resemblance to what tbey ara to ba
rtno every street la bounded by them.
Tha tranchaa for tha water pipes ara
gaptn wide open to receive their Iron
cnodults. Everything la new. Hut look
at tha acala In which they ara doing
things!
There ara In tha yoonir city now aoma
IS bulldtcgs. and half of tham ara two
torl-a In bright. Taka tha two banks,
tha MMoltus Mate Bank and tha ttl
m' Stat Bank. You will find diffi
culty In discovering two flnar banking
nouses In tba Interior, area In tha atate.
And tha naw 54-room, two-itory hotel,
now about ready for occupancy. Mrs.
McDowell, at prlnevllle. roust look to
her laurels. And tha etoree there la a
hardware atora here with finer fixtures
than cm ba found In many cltlea of
50.00 people.
Ncrw Paper at Home.
Tha flrat number of the Metollua
Central Oregonlan. tha Initial and plo
fteer newspaper of Metollua. waa lasued
last week. You ought to see the plant
and the building. They would make
the ayea of the ordinary country news
paper publisher water with envy. I am
In tha but Mini now. a room !5xl" feet.
13-foot celling, well finished In every
way, with a complete plant In every de
tail. Tha proprietor la K. T. Pleraon.
from Grandvl'.Ie. N. D. He shipped hla
plant here at an expense of about ".
la ha a tenderfoot? Not much. He
took op 9 acres under tha ditch south
of bera aoma all or aeven yeara n
and knowa every foot of Crook Countv
and yet selected Metollua. la he mad?
Talk to him and let him rive you his
reasons for hla faith In Metollua.
And. by tha way. Mr. Pleraon Is
' bound to cut a figure In Oregnn Jour
nalism. Hla first Issue ahowa that. Ha
wields a trenchant and pungent pen
rtl. and ha will take his place aa one
ef the better Journalists of the atate.
We need more like htm. more with hla
spirit and energy, mora of hla ability
and Integrity and wa will get them,
for he Is but the pioneer of many who
will follow him
Think of a town not yet washed and
bathed and In lta swaddling clothes,
with la or 13 two-story buildings! With
gradrd atreeta and cement sidewalks!
with the streets well lighted! with a
location where ceepots will ba un
necessary, for a complete system will
ba at once Installed! A town whose
promotera were In touch with the rail
wav authorities to such an extent that
ther were pointed to tha dlrtalon point
before they bought the townslte. and
with money enough to do all that waa
necessary to bo done before a lot waa
fold! There you have the Metollua situ
ation partially portrayed. But only par
tially, for the spirit of tha people who
have time In and bought property and
begun business must d tha rest.
Many Thing Are IU-M.
Metollua! It haa a pleasant sound,
that name, for It means many things
of the best. It nteana the best -equipped
Millard parlor In the Interior, and I
know, for I have seen billiard rooms
before. Tha largest stocks of lumber,
the most progressive people. Iha best
butldl.igs of a new town.
It means a business town, but a quiet
one an embryo city, a place wf proe
perlty and progress.
And the future? What mut be tha
dependen.-e rf the people? Will tha
place grow and the people prosper?
I'erhaps Ibis will ba the largest grain
shipping point on the lll'l road and on
the Harrtmtn road. And In mr hurry
I had forgotten to say that the tlarrt
mi road ta only e feet west of the
llt:l road here., t Is thought here I
e)o not know with what foundation
tVtt the tao tracks will merge here.)
With a country tl-at mtt In the future
all be brought under cultivation, under
Intensive farming: a!th a people of the
right spirit, all pulling together auch
a place mist succeed and will succeed.
One of the large lumber yards here,
tha Turo-a-t-um Lumber Company. Is
managed be frank Wate. formerly a
fe'iow townsman pf mine at Irrlgon.
Tie Tum-i'l.um Lumber Company has
v-!s at O-itewav. Madras. Metollua and
Culver, and perhaps win have other
yards tater. and Frank will be in charge
of them all. It waa real pleasure to
meet Frank, for he as fine a fellow
as yo'i will encounter In a year's trav
e a His romranr la ilotng well here.
Irt fact. It Is doing well at all lta yards
In Crook, but r'rxr'h villi manage them
from MetoM.ie. And Frank's view of
tlie situation has had something to do.
perhaps, with the coloring of tnv ob
servations, for he has Investigated 'he
question f ItH-attor.s. and thus tar bis
horoseopie plctctrea have materialised
Into facta.
Not entirely pertinent to Metollua
alone, I want to aav that one of the
seeds cf the towne along the 1II1J road
Is a laundry The most f the woik
row goes to IVrtlarid. If a go.d laiin
dry were to stsrt here It mould do a
t'Knl business from the Ja It began
operation-, and It Is no? Ilkeiy there
would be aiv at'p'mon for several
j eara This oognt to appeal to some
l-sin with a go.M p. ant that Is n-M now
pav'pg well. I'onmtmli-i'e with the
commercial clubs a'ong the line.
And 1 ought to sav a. word about tha
Commercial Club, foe It is doing splen
did work And to do that I must men

against Patrolman TIH. Hansen yeeter
day by Sergeant Smith, hla Immediate
auperlor, and tha officer has been sus
pended, pending a hearing by a board of
officers- Hansen la still a probationer,
having been In the department leaa than
six month, and a euch may be sum
marlly dismissed, but Chief Cox. taking
mto consideration the expense that he
haa been to In providing bis equipment,
will glva him an opportunity to defend
himself.
Hansen had been only a few weeks on
the force when he engaged In a pistol
battle with two hlg!: waymen on tha East
tilde last March and received a aevera
wound In the shoulder. Recently ha haa
been assigned to tha duty of keeping
order around tbe plant of tha Multnomah
Iron Works, at East Third and East Oak
streets, where a atrike and picketing ara
going on. It was reported to Sergeant
Smith Thursday that Haneen waa drunk.
Tha aergeant found him at Eaat Twen

drunk, ha said. Ha alao learned that
Hansen had engaged in a brawl with tba

TACOMA. Willi. Juna S- (Special.)
A wholesale gatherlng-ln of bar
tenders and saloonkeepers, who. It la
alleged, hava been violating tha antl
treating measure, which waa fathered
by ex-Mayor A. V. Kawcett Just befora
ha waa recalled, was made yesterday
when : 1 were arrested on warrant Is
sued by Police Judge Arnaton- Tha
men were brought from all part of
the city and a'l but one were charged
with directly breaking tha law In al
lowing their customers to aay: "Ha
another."
Tha other waa arrested for not dis
playing a algn aaylcg that hla saloon
waa a "no treating, saloon" In three
Inch letters, which is one of tha pro
visions of tha law.
All those arrested were released up
on depositing f0 hall and will appear
to plead to the charges tomorrow
morning. All of them declare that
they will plead not guilty and will ap
peal the case. There ara nearly a doxea
raaes already befora the courts on ap
peals from former actions.
William Armstrong, president of tha
Royal Arch, after a meeting of that
organisation of aaloonmen. aald that
three of tha moat prominent attorneya
In Tacoma had been engaged to look
after their Interests and also one from
Olympla. Ha declared that the dealers
were prepared to taka the cases as far
as tha United Statea Supreme Court If
necessary to obtain a final decision.
Tha new Chief of Police. S. R. Fraaer.
said that It was only one of the aev
eral stepa that ara to be taken In tha
enforcement of the lawa and that mora
arrests are liable to follow today.
Although It is aald some arrests have
been made during the rampaJgns mora
for effect than with any desire to en
force the law, the aaloonmen have
generally been pretty lax In enforc
ing the ordinance.

In Ten Years Work.
WASHINGTON. June J Acting Gn
aua Lilrector Falkner Issued today the
flrat official statement from the Cen
sus Bureau relative to the statlatics of
Irrigation In the atate of Idaho.
It la based on a preliminary compara
tive aummary submitted by Dr. Le
Orand Powera. chief statistician of the
division of agriculture In the Bureau
of the Cenaua. under whose aupervlalon
It waa prepared by R- P. Teele. special
aa-ent In charge of Irrigation.
The average coat per acre of Irriga
tion In 1910 was 17.1S. as compared
with t3." in 18S, an Increase of 1.,
or 35J. per cent. This great Increase tn
cost per acre Irrigated la due In part
to more difficult conatructlon. and In
part to better and more permanent
construction. The average annual coat
of Irrigation operation and mainten
ance per acre Increaeed from S4 tents
In 18 to cents In 10. or 1.7 per
cent, showing that the newer works are
more expensive In use as well as In first
coat.
Government Mas Done Much.
The acreage. Irrigated In 1S09 haa been
elaBelfled according to the state and
Federal lawa. under which the works
were built or are operated, aa followa:
United States Reclamation Service (act
of Congress June 17. 102), 47.600 acres,
or XI per cent of the total acreage
Irrigated In 109: United States Indian
Service (various acts of Congress). 18
acrea. or 0.1 per cent of the total; Carey
Act tact of Congress August 18. 189).
141S acrea. or 11.4 per cent of total;
Irrigation districts (State law providing
for organlxatlon dlatrlcta). 140.S30 acrea,
orper cent of total; co-operative en
terprises. 6:3.101 acres, or 44 per cent
of total; enterprises aupplylng water
for hire, 44.873 acres, or J.l per cent of
t0The works built by the United States
. i ... 1- mnA those built
nrciKiuKov" - ----
under the Carey Act are to be turned
over to the water-users aa soon aa they
are paid for. and S7.000 acres credited
to enterprleee aupplylng water for hire
have been organised Into an Irrigation
district since these data were col
lected. These three classeaof enterprises are
the only onea jiot now controlled by
the water-uaera.- When the two first
named have been turned over, only
about 1 per cent of tlie Irrigated land
will be aerved by works not controlled
by the water-uaera.
Streams Greatest Supply.
Streams supply 1.400,097 acres, or 98
per cent of the total acreage; lakes
supply 157 acrea. or 0.4 per cent; wells
supply 1877 acres, or 0.1 per cent;
springs supply 19.679 acres, or 1.4 per
cent, and reservolra supply 7S2 acres,
or less than 0.1 per cent.
