" This pumping plant is of more than
passing interest Jind importance. The
first unit, bow near in g completion, is
expected to successfully lift from BO
to 100 second feet of water, through a
iO inch pipe, to ft 50 foot level, this
amount of water being sufficient to irri
gate from 5000 to 10.000 acres. This
pumping plant. If proven successful and
satisfactory to the land owners, will
eventually be enlarged sufficiently . to
raise the water 800 feet high with suc
cessive lifts, so that the entire Dead
Ox flat can be , irrigated. There are
about 5000 acres of first bottom land,
10,000 acres of first bench lands, and
10.000 acres of - second bench lands,
which are especially vaiuaoie ior i run
growing. The lands on the first bottom
and first bench are all filed en and
taken; the land on the second bench, is
mostly deeded land. It is expected that
the cost of water rights under this
pumping system will be only about 125
per acre for the lands under the 60 foot
lift. - ' - -
tTnique Current Mtr.
This pumping " plant consists of 12
scows or floats, each scow being about
half as large as an ordinary ferry boat.
The scojsrs are so built that a current
of water 10 feet wide runs through the
center of each. The scows are strung
out down stream, 60 feet apart, a total
distance of 600 feet, and form a sort of
pontoon bridge for the drum, cable and
puddles.' A drum 10 feet in diameter
and 10 feet long ia stationed on the first
or upper scow. '
Two strong cables running the length
of the 12 scows, or 600 feet long,' are
made to pass around this drum. One
hundred and twenty-five wooden paddles
are fastened to these two cables. Each
paddle is nln feet long and two feet
wide. The two cables are fastened near
each end of each paddle. Each paddle
Is fastened to the cable so- that the pad

tunnel. Although the tunnel "has been
practically completed for two weeks.
some time has been required to lay one
track through it and to prepare the
roadbed , of the approaches for : perma

marks the close of the most Important
piece of work along, the Northern Pa

most important -on the entire work.
The tnnnel is a bore through the solid

Tue use of the tunnel by the rail

GREAT PROGRESS
Hustling Eastern Oregon Town

(Sped! TJltpttch to The Journal.) -
Ontario, Or,. Dec , 2L Two hundred
and twenty-five thousand dollars in new
business blocks and $100,000 in new res
idences is the splendid building record
for Ontario for the year 1910. This is
easily the greatest building record for
one year in Ontario bistory. Included
in the new business blocks is a $100,000
brick and concrete hotel,, fiva stories
high, and modem In t every respect.
Fifty-five new residences will have been
built when this year comes to a close.
These range in value from , $1000 ; to
$10,000 each. " ;
In addltldn to the foregoing improve
ments are two churches. The Presby
terian church will cost about $8000, and
theviathollc church about $6000. s
, When the many sidewalks, street and
sewer works and other Improvements
are taken into consideration. It is fair
to estimate Ontario Improvements this
year will approximately be $100,000. ,
Great credit t due T. H. Moore, who
is proving to be Ontario's greatest Indi
vidual developer. The business blocks
Mr. Moore has constructed or has under
way are:"1. ; . ..
Ninety-two room, five story, $100,000
hotel, to be ready for occupancy " by
March' L , r'-yr .. y-
Seven store rooms 'completed.
Three "store .rooms nearing comple
tion.' '
' 'Two store rooms Just started. v
. Fine theatre soon to b started.
The new Boyer block is another splen
did improvement for Ontario. v
I. A. Lackey has constructed a splen
did building back of the bank. Mr.
Lackey was also ; largely ; instrumental
in making possible the splendid Malheur
county fair grounds for Ontario.
These wonderful activities have
aroused Ontario into a rellzatlon of its
importance as a future commercial and
railroad point. Some important railroad
announcements for Ontario and central
Oregon may be announced in the very
near future. It will prove Interesting
to watch-Ontario grow during the nest

(Special Oltpatch to The Journal.)
Twin Falls, Idaho, Deo. 21. The High
land Pumping- company is placing a
pumping plant on the highlands canal
on the south side Twin Falls project, six
miles southwest of Twin Falls. These
are the first Carey act lands in Idaho
to be Irrigated by the pumping system
under the control of private capttal. The
lands are too .high for the gravity sys
tem of the south side, though they were
originally a part "of the old south side
segregation. .
The state land board has allowed a
charge of $55 per acre, and purchasers
have already applied for over 2Q00 acres,
It is freely predicted that the entire
tract which is -estimated to have an
area of 6000 acres, will be sold within
the next month. One fact significant is
that a maintenance fee of only $1.60 per
acre is to be charged. -

(Salem Bureau of The JoantaL) '
Salem, Or., Deo. 21. Mrs.- Abigail
Soptt Duniway filed petitions yesterday
with the secretary of state containing
10,000 names asking that the matter of
amending, the constitution of Oregon so
that women -may have - votes may be
placed on the ballot In 1912. The peti
tions show that the next presidential
election falls on November 6, 1912, and
the suffragettes have at least enlight
ened the public on that point even If
no other object is attained. w
Chief Clerk Corey has determined that
the number of names required to file
Initiative petitions for the next .election
Is 9817, that number, being the 8 per
cent of the "whole number of votes cant
for justice of the supreme court" Mr.
Corey says there can be no grounds for
error in, finding the whole number of
votes cast for supreme Justice. He has
added together the vote received by II.
J. Bean, Republican; Woodson T. Slater,
Democrat; J. D. Myers, Socialist, and
C. J. Bright, Prohibitionist, and found
the total to be 122.709. ', , . .
. The candidates named are those who
ran for the ; four-year term and re
ceived the highest number of votes In
their respective parties. No other Vwhole
number of votes cast for suoreme Jus
tice" may be obtained, for the Prohibi
tionists had no candidates for the six
year term. .-''- '-?-.? --v; .'.:' ;-v
t'The law eays the whole number of
votes cast for one supreme Justice," says
Mr. Corey, "which makes it plain. Had
the law said the whole number of votes
cast ; for; supreme Justices; theft there
might have been some ground for con
fusion as to how the law was to be
applied.: But I find that the matter is
easily determined by taking the vote of
the candidates for the four-year term
who received the highest ' number of
votes in their respective parties for the
sroepQsitlon.B '
By filing at this time the suffragettes
get first place on the 1913 'ballot, which
is considered of some advantage, spe
cially if there are to be a large num
ber of measures to be considered by the
individual voter, who may not have the
time or inclination to vote the whole
baUot It is for that reason that the
petitions were filed so soon. They were
also similarly filed two years ago for
the 1910 election at about the same time
as this year." f
