ONTARIO. Or, IXb Jo. (Special Cor
respondence.) When I wu last at tble
place, two years ago the coming Mar.
I thourht there was a bright future In
tore (or this part of Malheur County,
but I based that prosperity principally
upon the Irrigation work which we all
then expected the Government would
undertake.
Now it Is certain that there will be
no work done here by the reclamation
people for years to come. If ever. There
are still some withdrawals of dam and
reservoir sites up the canyons to the
west, principally In what la called the
Harper Basin; but It Is not likely these
win be used until there are great
rhinirl made In our Congressional
delegation or a revulsion of sentiment
showing a desire to treat Oregon fairly
by the chiefs of the reclamation service
Knowing that nothing had been done
here by the Government, save a yet
away, I came here expecting to find
Ontario willing along about like other
disappointed and disgruntled towns.
Rut I had a mighty surprise In store
for me. for there ts r.ot a town or city
In Oregon that fias made more material
progresa during the last 20 roontha
than Ontario.
Postal Herelsta Grow.
Terhaps there would be no better way
to show the growth of the place than
to clt the Increase In receipts of the
postorflce. For the year ending; De
cember 31. 130S, thd receipts were
$5019.21. For the year ending Decem
ber 11. 1510. the amount was 15594. 8S,
and for the year ending with tomor
row the receipts will total within a few
dollars of T5jl). And for the year end
Ins; March 11 next, concluding the year
ly period for the fixing; of salaries, the
postmaster. A. L. Sproul, says there Is
no doubt the $SO00 mark will be passed,
thus making- this a second-class office,
in the same class of Albany. Baker,
Corvallls. Eugene, Oregon City, La
Grande and The Dalles.
The salary of Postmaster Sproul Is
now $1800, which la as high as the of
fice can fro under Its present classifica
tion. Only three offices In Oregon have
this salary aside from Ontario St.
Johns. Ml Angel and Wood burn.
Looklns; over the town I find that
within the 20 months mentioned the
business area has been fully doubled,
and the residence district has expanded
full twice as much. The principal busi
ness street Is over a mile In length,
and this Is made up mostly of brick
building. In the residence districts
there are as fine buildings as any of
our smaller cities can boast of, and at
least one of the new brick structures,
the Moore Hotel. Is about as fine a
structure as there Is east of the moun
tains. This building Is five stories
high, with every modem convenience.
Jt will be thrown open to the publlo In
a short time
More Important even than the new
hotel Is the Sisters' Hospital. Just
placed under roof. This structure will
cost In excess of $40,000. and will be
one of the best equipped in the state.
t occupies a fine site, on the bench
west of town, and would be a credit
to any city.
Next In Importance Is the new High
School building, which has been erect
ed at a cost of over $40,000. It Is built
of brick snd concrete, and la a hand
some structure In every way. it Is said
to be one of the most modern school
structures In the state.
In population the city has grown
from less than 1000 to considerably
over 2ouo; a census taken today prob
ably would show very near 250T-. or
more than 25 per cent of the popula
tion of the county. But Malheur County
t.aa not done so badly In growth, hav
ing more than doubled In each of the
last census decades.
It has been often published, but may
not be generally known, that this Is the
terminus of two great railway systems
the O.-W. K. N. and the Oregon
Short Line. These roada formerly unit
ed at Huntington, but now at this city.
Kventually this will mean much to
Ontario, but Just how much, the rail
way officials will not divulge. But It
Is a fact that these officials think well
of the Ontario people, and well they
may. When the line was built here out
to Vale the road needed 10 acres of
land south of town for yards, right
of way. etc This was furnished to
them for $100. Not that amount per
acre, but for the entire 10. When you
compare this with the way the rail
ways are frequently held up for from
IJ00 to $(00 an acre for sagebrush,
land. It will be seen that the citizens
of Ontario merit the good will of the
railway companies.
ReaeV linl Trade better.
In my former letters I have over
looked the fact that the Vale branch
waa practically extended over a year
ago for a distance of Zi miles. It Is
Is miles to Vale; from there the road
swings to the northwest to the little
town of Brogaa. 42 miles from On
tario. As the train leaves here and
runs through to Brogan. and return
ing runs through from that place here,
this has proved a mighty good trade
getter for Ontario.
One would have to pass much time
here to write up Intelligently the rail
way situation alone. For Instance, a
road has been constructed from Nyssa
south to Momedale. a dlstanoe of 27
miles; to connect with this a road Is
being built from Burley. In thi Mini
doka project, and another will be built
from Burley to Salt Lake; then the
mala line of the Short Line Is double
tracked from Nyssa to Ontario. When
the roads mentioned are completed the
distance between here and SjJt Lake
will be reduced about 10 miles.
Then consider the road already built
down the Snake from Huntington tor
a distance of (4 miles, the present ter
minus being Homestead. When this
road Is completed to Lewlston there
will be practically a water-level road
from Salt Lake to Portland. And re
member, these are not simply project
ed lines actual work has been done
by constructing about 100 miles of
roadbed, and trains are being operated
over more than half of that distance
To go at the situation from the north
and northeast, the extension of the
road west from Butte, the connection
with the Payette. Idaho Northern,
the construction or extenaion of tnat
road across the river from Weiser to
Ontario and on through the Interior
toward San Francisco when one looks
at the entire situation it Is sure that
greater railway developments will be

made In this section of the country
than anywhere else In the West.
Just a word sbout the oil situation.
It la said In this region thut if a busi
ness man of Portland la approached
with an oil or natural gas proposition
he goes "straight up In the air," as If
he waa to be sandbagged or gold
brlcked robbed. And yet It Is true
that no field In the country shows
more promise gt a ureal vuipui ui vii
snd gas than the fields adjacent to
ale and Ontario. If Just one well
should be struck there would be such
a rush of men and money Into this re
gion as never was seen In Oregon
and there would be such railway devel
opments as never before were heard of
In the Northwest. And a matter of a
hundred thousand dollars thrown Ju
diciously Into this field would prove
mighty soon that there Is a great de
posit of oil and gas underneath thess
lands, or that there Is not.
If there la, the amount of good It
would do the suite would be beyond
all calculation. The output of oil In
California last year was over 70.000.-
000 barrels, the price averaging well
up to 60 cents a barrel, say consider
ably over $10,000.000 and the Califor
nia field 10 years ago did not look
half as promising as does that around
Ontario and Vale.
Kcferrlng again to matters of Irri
gation. It can safely be said that ons
of the gravest errors the Reclamation
Service has thus far committed was the
sbandonment of the Malheur project.
That statement cannot be controvert
ed: It can be easily proved by the suc
cess of the various Irrigation enter
prises Just across the river In Idaho,
where the conditions are Identical with
those on the Oregon side. The land,
the altitude, the climate, the water
situations are exactly the same. Had
the Malheur project been constructed
Malheur would soon be one of the
wealthy and populous counties of Ore
gon. It is. however, useless to complain.
The Idaho people had a Congressional
delegation that accomplished things
and Oregon got left. But the failure
of the reclamation people to take up
the work did not deter the Ontario
cltlxens; It merely threw them back
upon their own resources, and they be
gan to work out their own problems In
their own way.
What they have accomplished after
two years of action would take a rath
er long article to recapitulate; ui
when the present works are dona there
will be more than 100.000 acres cov
ered by the various enterprises. I men
tioned two of the gravity systems in
my Vale letter, but there are some 25,
000 acres near hers now being watered,
or practically ready for water, by
pumping from the Snake River. The
Ontario & Nyssa plant will cover 1000
acree; the Snow-Moody plant will water
1000 acres on Dead ox Flat: the King
man Colony plant will cover 4000 acres,
the Ontario Townslte Company 1200
acres, and various smaller plants will
water from 1000 acres fach down to a
few hundred.
This water, as said. Is all pumped
from the Snake, tho electric power
therefor being secured from tho Oregon-Idaho
Light & Power Co.. their
plants being down on the Snake be
low .Huntington, and on tho Payette
Somo of the water Is elevated over
100 feet; much of It Is forced through
several miles of pipe: and yet the
greatest cost of any of these projects
Is about $40 an acre and down as low
as $10 an acre which includes ma
chinery, pipe lines and laterals. The
annual maintenance charge will vary
from $1 to $1 per acre.
Of course. It seems too bad to see
tha waters of the Malheur and Owyee
now Into the Snake, to be lower
down turned Into power and this pow
er used to pump the waters higher tip
on the river bank to the land. But the
work accomplished will be the forerun
ner of many more plants, until finally
this whole section will be Irrigated. It
has taken time to get started on the
right lines, but ths work will now go on
with alacrity. Tho time lost by the
failures of the reclamation service to
take up the work can never be re
gained: but the Malheur people aro no
longer worrying: they are working out
their own salvation.

Bird S. Coler, ex-Controller of the

of National Importance for a number

"In Portland," be said, "you have a
wonderful city and It has back of it
a state that la guaranteed great ex
pansion and development within the
next few years. From my Information
Its present success is largely due to Its
escape from wildcat business ventures

tlcally certain that the State of New
York will not present a canauiaie ior
the Democratic nomination for tha
Presidency, although the party may
apparently support Governor Dlx. We
feel that If New York should suggest
a candidate the cry would Immediate

Wall Street 'and Tammany," but when
the time comes Us votes will go to
Governor Harmon, of Ohio, of whose
nomination 1 feel assured. 1 am equal

practically settled upon him and he Is
agreeable to every business Interest.
It Is believed that his Administration
would be one to win confidence and
that the unrest and unsettled condi
tions of the past few terms would dis
appear. -As the Democratic nominee for
Vice-President the name of Underwood
Is rapidly pushed to the front and
the combination of Harmon and Un
derwood could not be beaten,
v. Tart's Streaglh Admitted.
"There appears to be no reason to
believe that President Taft will not be
renominated and be la a much stronger
man than generally credited. He took
hla platform seriously and Insisted
that It be carried out when It bad not
been Intended for such UBes by the
Republican politicians. This fact has
made him many friends and while he

he must be acknowledged to be an

"The attitude of Colonel Roosevelt
toward the Republicans Is amusing and
a better advertiser never existed in his

with his character. I do not believe
that he would accept a nomination for

that he would like It offered him, so
that he would have the privilege of
refusing it-"
CONTEMPT CASE DECIDED
Ellers Piano House to Pay $2.10
Over Pianola Complaint.
Judge Wolverton in the United States
District Court decided the case of the
Aeolian Company vs. Ellers Music
House for contempt of court yester
day. Early In the Summer the Aeolian
Company, to enforce the maintenance
of certain established retail prices for
the instruments manufactured by It,
obtained a temporary Injunction where-
by Ellers Music House was to be pre
vented from selling the Pianola piano .
for less than certain prices. In Sep
tember an agreement was reached and
a decree rendered to the effect that
while established retail prices on Pianola
pianos should be recognized, Eilers
Music House thereafter would be per
mitted to sell its stock of Pianola
pianos and similar Instruments then on
hand at any price It might see fit, pro
vided It offered all such Instruments
for sale as second-hand.
In the complaint for the present
cause of action the manufacturers of
the Pianola piano set forth that they
have enjoyed no benefit from this
decree and were left practically In
the same position which they occupied
before the suits were filed, because It
was claimed that Ellers Music House
was not conforming to the require
ments, as all their advertisements did
not specify the words "second-hand"
when applied to the sale of Pianola
pianos. Furthermore, the Pianola
company set forth that the company
had another agency In this city which
must maintain the retail prices dic
tated by it, and because of the condi
tions existing It. as manufacturer, and
Its agents, suffered damages alleged
as aggregating $6000 during the holi
day season alone.
Advertisements that had appeared In
various dally papers were put In evi
dence by counsel for the Pianola com
pany In an endeavor to show that
Ellers Music House was not adhering
to the letter of the decree and hence
waa to be adjudged in contempt of
court. After consideration, the court
held that In the circumstances the
costs, which were found to amount to
$2.10 should be paid by the defendant
company, as portions of a few of tha
advertisements were of a nature en
croaching on the rights of the plain
tiff under the terms of the decision
given in September.

First Meeting of Kind Ever Held In
TTnited States Is Marked by Ad
dresses by Men In Many
Different Professions,
"This is the first meeting of lt klna
that has ever been held In this coun
try." said Mrs. Abigail Scott Dunlway
at the opening of the meeting tor men
favoring woman suffrage at the Com
mercial Club convention hall last
night. "We are Inaugurating a move
ment that I hope will spread through
out the United States the organization
of men, who have, a-vote, for the sys
tematic work to secure a vots for
women, who do not have it."
W. 1L Davis was introduced by Mrs.
Duniway as the originator of the move
ment, and presided over the meeting,
with Eugene Brookings acting as tem
porary secretary. Mr. Davis outlined
the purpose for which he had called
the meeting, saying that he purposed
to organise with the assistance of
other Portland cltlsens who favor
woman suffrage, what might become
the nucleus for clubs of men through
out the state to work actively for the
passage of the woman suffrage amend
ment at the next election.
Maar Profession Represented.
Members of the bar. Judges, dele
gatea from labor organisations and
from the branches of the Socialist
party in Portland took part In the dis
cussion. Mrs. Duniway and Mrs. Sarah
E. Commerford, of the Washington
Suffrage Association, were the only
women who gave addresses, although
about 75 women were present- About
the same number of men attended.
So long was the list of speakers that
Mr Davis announced about the middle
of the session that be would postpone
the actual work of organization until
next week and would devote the re
malnderof the evening to discussion.
C. B. Merrick, however, objected to this
and his motion was carried to have a
committee of five immediately aPP'nt
ed to draw up by-laws and constitution
to report at a meeting next week.
In the appointment of his committee
Mr. Lavis nameu -
Merrick, chairman: Eugene Smith, 01

Mr. Smith declined the appointment
and In their place were named William
Daly, president of the State Federa
tion of Labor, and Alex Sweek.
Those who spoke were J. C. MuIImu
