Frlneville, Or., Dec, 8. Several thou
sand rabbits wil bite the dust in the
northwestern part of Crook county Mon
day, December 14, when, the first rabbit
drive ever made on the Agency plains
will be trilled of by the farmers of
that section. Extensive preparations
have been made for the event. Several
hundred men will participate.
A large killing corral will be built
with . wings extending a quarter of n
mile on either side, so that the rabbits
can be driven lnrto It, two foot wire net
ting being used-for the wings and four
foot netting for the corral. The drivers
will assemble early Monday morning,
December 14, at A. Monner's farm. The
drive will start at the north end of
Agency plalna and cover a large terri
tory south and east of that point. No
rinirs or aruns will be allowed.
The Indiana from the Warmsprin
reservation have been invited to come
over and participate in tha drive and it
is expected that a large number will
avail themselves of the Invitation. The
drive will be continued as long as the
success warrants.
Exterminated by Disease. .
Rabbits have become more numerous
In this section than they have been in
a number of years. Several years ago
they were almost exterminated by a
disease which made great ravages ' lei
their ranks. Experts from the govern
ment biological departments were sent
to Investigate the disease, with a view
to utilizing It for ridding other sections
of the raublt rest by inoculation, but
the disease baffled them and the mat
ter was not pursued further.
The disease has apparently spent its
force and In the past two years there
has been sn alarming Increase in the
number of rabbits. Many farmers in
the more sparsely settled districts have
complained that their crops were en
tirely destroyed by the rabbits this
year, while all have complained of some
damage.
It is this condition of affairs that had
aroused the farmers to action.

North Yakima, Wash., Dec. B. One
of the results of the lower prices of
fruit this year will be litigation di
rected against the Yakima Vallpy
Fruit Shippers' association by a volun
tary organization of ranchera. ' The
orchardists have been unable to con
vince themselves that the lower prices
were due to natural conditions alto

shippers beat them out of their law
ful proceeds. They plan to prove this
in couri.
. A large litigation fund has been
raised, and attorneys procured to pre
sent the case against the association,
which. It is charged, is a combination
in restraint of trade. Failing in this
the effort will be to establish canes
against the Individual shippers who
form the association. Prices paid for
rruit tne nasi year were lower than
the prices of 1907, but they gave re
turns as high In some instances as

at a meeting of the Eugene city coun

water commission, to take charge of
the water works recently acquired by

the reason that the ordinance which
created the commission does not be

passage. This is in accordance with
a recent decision of the supreme court,
which held that all ordinances except
those affecting the public health of a
city or of a character demanding immediate-
action shall not take effect
until 30 days after passage. The city
council was ready to turn the plant
over to the commission last night, but

and the mayor will make the appoint
ments again.

McDonalds Ferry. Or.. Dec. 5. A oar '
ty of United States engineers, under
the direction of Engineer Davis of the
reclamation service, has just installed
a new plant for the most accurate hy
dragraphic survey of the John Day-,
river ever made at this point, and will
resume the duties of flnlnhlng the pre
liminary work of securing accurate esti
mates on the John Day irrigation proj
ect, which was commenced four yeara
ago. The action of the government at
tnis time confirms tne prediction wnit
The Journal made some months ago,
when it reported! that this project was
the, next which the arovernment would
complete in this state.
At tne time the John Day project was
last mentioned the -government had seri
ously entertained a proposition to in
stall an auxiliary purnninir plant on the
Columbia between Castle Rock and Ar
lington. This, however, was abandoned,
and the general opinion seems to pre
vail that the reclamation service has re
ceived such flattering returns In a
financial way from the Umatilla proj
ect at Hermlston as to greatly increase
the state's financial standing in the re
clamation fund, and the government at
this time sees fit to start the reclama
tion work again in Oregon.
All Expectations Kealixed.
The presence of government engineers
along the John Day seems to verify even
the most optimistic opinions. As usual
the work of the government moves si
lently, the employes are not supposed to
answer many questions. After going
over the ground carefully, however, it
is found that the cost of what is termed
the John Day project will approximate
$6,000,000. j v :
The dam will be constructed between
8 and 12 miles above the mouth of Rock
creek, and there will be water enough
conserved tn irrigate 200,000 acres, at
least the government has exempted
enough land under the new canal to
bring the acreage to this figure.
In OlUlam and Morrow.
All the land benefited by the new
Firoject Hps within the borders of Gll
lam and Morrow counties, The ditch,
or canal, will leave the John Day about
20 miles from, its confluence with ,the
Columbia, cross Rock creek about two
miles below the O. R. & N. bridge over
Rock creek, and follow the ridge west of
Cedar Springs to a point about two
miles south of the Junction house in
Alkali canyon; from thence It will carry
the water due east, across the Heppner
branch of the O. R, & N., and have its
northern terminus between Castle Rock
and Coyote on the O. R. & N. and the'
Columbia.
In connection with the present opera
tions It is strange to note that very
few resident beneficiaries are awake to
Its Importance.
