FAX FRAXCTSCO. Oct. 4 (Special.)
' All stores, wholesale and retail, han
dling distilled liquors for beverage pur
poses must immediately take an inven
tory of their stock to determine the
amount of revenue to be paid under the
tax known as "floor tax." In carrying
out this work. Collector "Wardell has
divided the city into districts, and his
deputies are assisting in the inventory
of stocks of liquors and cigars.. .
There is said to be about SO percent
more distilled spirits in San Francisco
at present than ever before. One firm
is said to have more than 500Q barrels
on which it will he obliged .to pay an
additional tak- of $2.20 a gallon, of
about $500,000 on the lot.
A large portion of this stock of
liquor was saved from the fire .in .1909.
It is said that fully rralf of -the wholes
sale liquor houses in San Francisco will
be forced out of business because of
the tax of $2.20 added to the normal tax
of $1.10. Many houses stocked heavily
with liquors when the food control bill
was before Congress, some borrowing
heavily and investing all available
funds to "beat" the provisions of the
bill. Now these firms find themselves
charged a heavy tax, on these large
stocks and many are without ready
money to meet the unexpected demand.

THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE
Pure blood is the body's first line of
defense against disease.
Healthy blood contains small amounts
of antitoxins that' neutralize the poi
sons of invading germs or destroy the
germs themselves. That Is why so
many people exposed to disease do not
contract it. Those whose blood is weak
and therefore lacking in defensive
power are most liable to Infection.
Everybody may. observe that healthy,
red-blooded people are less liable to
attacks -of cold and the grip than are
pale, bloodless people.
To build up the blood there Is one
remedy that has been a household
word for a generation. Dr. "Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. They tone
up the entire system, make the. blood
rich and red, strengthen the nerves,
increase the appetite, put color in the
cheeks and lips and drive away that
unnatural tired feeling. Plenty of
sunlight, good wholesome food and
fresh air will do the rest.

Issue for Ochoco Project
Are Now Available.

: About. 2 2,00 0 Acres and Cost
Is. Estimated at 11

BY ADDISON BENNETT.
PRINEVILLE, Or., Oct. 4. (Special.)
The people of Prlneville are rejoicing
today for the reason that the two banks
of the city had turned over to them this
forenoon the proceeds of the $900,000
bonds issue of the Ochoco irrigation
project. Of course It has been known
for some months that this money would
be ."forthcoming when needed, for the
bonds'" .'were underwritten by reliable
bond dealers; but there are always
doubting Thomases who have to see the
cash before they will believe it can be
produced. t
This Ochoco project is by no means
.hew to me, for I have been over it more
than j once and have written about it
for' The Oregonian at least twice. But
it was then "up in the air," so to speak.
It was then a "proposed" project, one
in which the Prlneville people believed
and In which they were putting their
money for preliminary work, and the
money was yet to be raised to complete
the work.
Less than two years ago I was told
here by some of the doubters that the
engineer in charge, R. V.r. Rea, would
never get anywhere; that the project
would "die a-bornin"." But his work
has stood the acid test and he will
emerge from his task as a doer of big
things, as an engineer to be relied upon,
as one whose works will stand as a
monument to his ability.
' All Entitled to Praise.
The officers and directors of the proj
ect are entitled, however, to the high
est praise for the success of the work.
It was their prescience that secured
Mr. Rea. It was their standing in the
community that secured the money for
the preliminary work. They had great
obstacles to encounter. They had dif
ficulties to overcome that would have
swamped men of less pertinacity, of
less nerve. But they never let up in
their work. After once putting their
hands to the plow of progress, they
never looked back, but turned a fair,
full furrow straight and plain. There
was no graft, no petty bickerings they
pulled together one for all and all for
one and always for Prineville.
Here is a list of their names and their
offices: T. H. La Follette, president;
R. L. Schu. secretary; R. L. Jordan,
treasurer; Jay II. Upton, attorney; R.
W. Rea, engineer. The board of direc
tors is as follows: T. H. La Follette.
John Grimes, E. T. Slayton, F. Fred
Hoelscher and Carey W. Foster.
The project receives its name from
the Ochoco River, which flows down
from the mountains from the east and
discharges into Crooked River a couple
of miles to the west. A dam is to be
built across the Ochoco Valley at the
east end of the project, which extends
to the west some 12 miles and embraces
22,000 acres of irrigable land. So the
cost is to be about $41 an acre. The
lands .are. all in private ownership and
some 7000 or 8000 acres have been irri
gated with an unreliable supply for
periods varying from two or three to 20
years.
No Kxperlmental Troject.
The elevation of the lands is about
2700 feet, but such is the contour of the
valley that this area is not subject to
destructive late Spring or early Fall
frosts. And the owners of these lands
know Just what crops they can raise
and know how to handle the land and
the water. K is by no means an ex
perimental project. The crops will be
principally alfalfa, wheat and oats.
Fifty bushels of whe?t will be a fair
average per acre, two cuttings of
alfalfa, yielding four tons to the acre.
will be a fair yield of that legume. So
it seems safe to say that, it the land
is equally divided between wheat and
alfalfa, there will be a half million
bushels of wheat and over 40,000 tons
of alfalfa each and every year from
this project. That does not take into
account the pasturage nor the Intensive
farming such as the production of po
tatoes, kale, rutabagas, carrots and
such like products.
Jefferson Myers made a close study of
the project for some of the bond buyers
and . his estimate was that $2,500,000
was a fair estimate for the ultimate
annual yield of these lands.
I might go more deeply into this ub-
ject, but as this is Prineville's day of
rejoicing, I will state that before Jan
uary 1, next, Prineville will have the
railroad locomotives tooting in the
streets, for the grading of the 19 mUa
between here and the O.-w. R. & N. and
the North Bank roads, near Redmond,
Is all done, the ties are accounted for
and the roads jointly will furnish the
steel and provide the rolling stock.
And the Interstate air opens here
tomorrow. The city is overflowing with
guests and good cheer, the sun of pros
perity shines brightly and clearly over
all, and I'rinevllle, dear old Prineville,
always one of the best towns in interior
Oregon, is today just on the eve of tak
ing her place among the most progres
sive cities in the West.
And the people of Prineville have
worked out their own salvation. The
Government wouldn't irrigate their
lands, eo. they are doing it themselves,
and at a far less cost. The great rail
road systems would not build a railroad
to their town, so they are doing it
themselves, thus showing that the
Prlneville people have faith in them
selves, in -their town. In their lands, in
their locality and in their country. And
to show their patriotism they will next
year nearly double their output of
cereals and livestock.
