President Wallace was accompanied
to Baker City by a contractor who has

an Irrigation- project already started,
known aa the Burnt River and Willow

that name. The irrigation company la

, R. . Durham, treaaurer. A part of

Immense Collecting" Area.
The Irrigation system taken over Is
formed by streams In Baker and Mal
heur counties, and Includes what is
known as tne Eidoraao aucn, t mues
long, rising In the southern slopes of
the Blue mountains. Sixteen townships
are in the collecting area. The dlten
waa uaed for years by placer miners.
A natural water course known locally
as Willow creek will be utilised to car
ry water on to the Irrigated lands. . The
riurpose of the federation is to sell wa
er to already established farmers and
to others who are taking up govern
ment lands. The ownership of this Ir
rigation system, and profits arising
from its operation, are counted upon to
carry the federation forward on a prac
tical business basis and enable it to en
large and build around thia nucleus the !
big fraternal industrial brotherhood
under Christian auspices planned and
fostered so long by Rev. H. 8. Wallace,
the originator and chief promoter of
the scheme.
Tbe federation's proposed industrial
city to be built on the Clackamas river.
With an electric road connecting It with
Portland, has been temporarily laid
aside but not abandoned. It is said the
Idea will be carried out later, on lines
similar to the original plan.

FIFTY MILLIONS'. FOR
RAILROADS IN OREGON
HarrimanTIxtensfons WflT"Be Had(TWItli IkToney Ob
tained From Sale of BondsForced to Build by the
Phenomenal Growth of the Country.
On the authority of K. H. Harrlman
himself, it Is said that, the financing of
the Union Paclflo system's needs for
extensiona and Improvements will not
require the sale of mora than $50,000,-
000 of its proposed bond issue at the
present time. Of that amount approxi
mately $44,000,000 will be needed for
work in Oregon, California, Idaho and
Washington. The stockholders have
favored these expenditures, and there
Is no further doubt that the extensions
will be made as soon as the bonds can
be marketed.
The company wants to put Its men at
work and keep up with the phenomenal
growth and progress of the Pacific
states, says Mr. Harrlman. He declares
that tne financial requirements or tne
lines he represents have been exagger
ated, and that there will be no need
for more than half of the proposed
$100,000,000 bonds authorized.
The extension of tbe Oregon Short
Line from Huntington alone the route
of tha Snake river to Lewlston Is al
ready financed as far as Homestead by
the trust company that controls the
Iron Dyke mines. The Short Line will
have to furnish money only for the
building of the road north from that
point to Lewlston. Construction work
Is now belnr pushed on this route
north of Huntington, and tunneling Is
In progress at Ox Bow mountain, a
short distance south of Homestead.
Retaliate on Ttm.
The Puget sound line, which will cost
not lesa than. $10,000,000, will be built
among the first projects started, as a
natural measure of retaliation against
Hill's Invasion of Oregon, as well aa
because practical business requirements
make this line a necessity to maintain
the prestige of the O. R. & N. company.
There has been enough money already
spent on the Coos bay extension to make
it a certainty that this road will sooner
or later be built by the Southern Pa
cific. Materials have been stored at
Drain for construction of the first di
vision, and there has been a lot of work
done on two or three . tunnels through
wie Coast range. A large switching
yard plant has been, almost completed

the ground some time for tbe first SO
miles of road.

ROSES WILL BLOOM WHEN SUN
SHINES APPROVAL OF CARNIVAL
Every one is eagerly watching the
barometer, and carefully reading Mr.
Beal's reports these days. When a
wind comes up the hopeful ones say
it may blow the clouds away; when tN)
wind subsides they say perhaps It won t
bring any more rain now. When the
tun shines they say it may be a har
binger of plenty of warm weather;
when it rains they say It la good for It
to rain hard now and rain itself out.
All over the city people are trying to
be as hopefulSiaa they may for warm
sunshiny weather. For how else will
tbey have rosea for the Rose Festival?
The florists all agree that they have
done what they could to help along
their blossoms and that It is now ud
to the weather. Even ''those who were
most optimistic last week and said
there was plenty of time say now that
the rosea are backward.
Mr. Clarke of Clarke Brothers says.
"There has been some advance in the
roses tho past week and they are ready
to burst Into bloom at the first encour
agement from the weather. All the tea
BEWARE OF PICTURE AGENT .
WITH SILVER-BUCKLED SHOES
Dwellers along Morrison street are
awaiting with interest the problematic
return of two shrewd agents who took
orders for pictures several weeks ago
and after getting $2.50 apiece in ad
vance disappeared.
These men said they were agents of
the Portland Art school. They first
appeared three weeks ago and got Pic
tures to enlarge. A week later they
came back with the proof of tbe en
largement. This they showed to their
bargain-loving victims, and said they
would charge nothing at all for the
picture but said the regular charge for
tne rrame was 3. vox casn lrt advance,
however, thev aenerouslv offered the
work for $2.50. This proposition looked
so good to the bargain-sale-trained
women that the smooth agents reaped
several hundred dollars.

The procession to the hotel Included

CXivt of Oregon Sastern. .
The Oregon Eastern will coat In the
neighborhood of $10,000,000. and a
branch to Klamath Fails will cost 13,
000,000 more. There is also a line sur
veyed north from this line to Madras
that will cost a similar sum.
Tha riorum Laka Vallev railroad in
corporated last week by E. E. Calvin,
William- Hood and W. T. Herri, head
officials of the Southern Pacific, is
practically an Oregon project, and its
cost Is estimated to be the amount of
the capital stock named in the incor
poration. $13,000,000. This sum is esti
mated to be sufficient to build about
400 miles of road in the country between
Anderson. California, and central Ore
gon. The route of the main line of this
road will start ' at Anderson end
follow the general direction of the Flit
river to Its headwaters, and pass around
the east side of Goose lake and north
to Lakeview. From thla point it ia sur
veyed north between Warner and Albert
lakes to a point on the main line of
the Oregon Eastern.

While the completion of the Oregon
Eastern system will give direct access
from Portland to the Lake and Harney
county regions, and to Klamath county,
It will also open the whole of central
Oregon's richest trade field to the com
merce or n uranciaco. n appears
that the Harrlman administration Is
averse to opening to Portland commerce
any part of southern or central Oregon
that they do not also open at the same
time to tne xavored metropolis or au
fornla. The Tillamook road will come in for
funds from the proposed bond salo,
While this road is ostensibly financed
through the Union Trust company it
is a well-known fact that the money
has been furnished from Southern Pa
cific sources.
The Wallowa county extension is cer
tain to be included in the big budget for
extensions covered by the bond issue.
This line is now completed to a point
where the road enters the Wallowa
valley, and for some months past the
management of the O. R. & N. company
thus been exbectinc to receive instruc
tions to proceed with the completion of
this extension to josepn. -ine roaa can
be completed and put in operation for
$1,000,000 or less.
roses will be in bloom but there Is a
good deal of doubt yet about the Caro

The common climbing- roses are full
of buds and ready to bloom with the
first sunshine, but the finest ropes
may not come out In time for the fes
tive!." Mr. Forbes of Martin 4 Forbes, said.
"Th-y will have to do some hustling to
bloom In time. They are still arrowing
and developing but are not blooming
mucn. ur course tnere will be plenty
or tne cumDing roses for they are al
ready beginning to come out."
"This weather is certainly terrible,"
Mr. Tonseth said, sighing almost hope
lessly. "There has been hardly any no
ticeable advance the past week for it
has been loo cold and cloudy. We reed
i lot of sunshine now to make any dif-
ierence.
"The roses are practically dormant,"
was George Otten's opinion. "Of course
we may expect warm weather now any
day and in two weeks the condition may
cnange a great aeai, dui even men- the
majority of the finer roses, the exhibi
tion roses will not be out. There is no
getting around that"

said, and will use the buggy In mak

a Targe tract of wheat land and is very
