Everything might have gone all right with;: Imperial, and the 12 lots might have been given away and the catlronds ; might have beer , built, hud not the people of the northwest been so unor iginal and then -again, go suspicious; . The people, of the northwest are not - origin) and probably that is the reason why Postoffice Inspector O. C. Riches has sent .some of the company's letters and Jlteratur to, the postofflca. depart ment In Washln gton, D. C-, to be jacketed."-,'; f City of 10,000 Seen by promoters. . In severs! of the -largest newspapers of the northwest the Central Oregon De velopment Hoompany run advertisements offering a 860 lot free to each of the IS persons suggesting the most acceptable name for a street in ..imperial, which . "baa rwen planned' and laid out In the belief that it -will-become a big town and we can see no reason why It should - not have a populationer lO.ooo within , the next few years, as thousands of people will rush- there, as soon -as- the railroads are completed" i : ' But what really happened, according to the affable UCs manager, Sherman Montgomery, was that two and three and four and five persons seotliitJthe sm names. And the funny part is that inese names were acceptable to the com- pany ts names for the streets. So the company sent out,' from its offices In the McKay building- this multigraphed letter, Changing the "name of the street 'for the different occasions: . " ' Hct Rises Trom 0 te $4.75. "We take pleasure in informing you . that, the name U Washington, -for -in. stance) - wbtcli was submitted by you, has been chosen ; by , the Judges, as suitable name for. one of the streets In Imperial, but owing to the fact that this name was also submitted by an other person besides yourself, and as , we want, to be perfectly fair in the matter, we have decided to give each person who submitted that name, a ttiO lot for the privilege of using It, pro vided thev are willing to pay the cost or the necessary papers transferring the . lot to them, Certainly yon cOuld not expect us to give two $60 lot.s for the same name and "then pay for the papers ourselves," , . Mr. Montgomery thought that about . 200 persons had overlapped guesses and were sent letters that they would get a $60 lot free, but would have to pungle up the M.7V, -But when the heard that the postof flee inspectors and the news papers had been given a lot of the let ters, he said he didn't remember he had the multigraph company strike off 21 or 319.. He offered to put up JIOO. as a bet that he could show that , every person-, to whom copy; of this- letter was , sent ; had guessed the same as somoon; .else.,.;' 7. , '"'..'r 'U--'' f - Break Erea at fA7S X.et. Then, again, Mr. Montgomery admit ' ted that the company would just about '., break even if it sold all of the lots for j - $4.75 apiece.. He said the land was , . worth between $20 and Mi . an acre -and - that . an acre would not make - many -.400 by 75 foot lots. Thursday the com pany filed, a plat of 40 acres with the , k auditor of Crook county. But Mr. Mont- pomery -said this -was only a part of 'the big city the company had laid, out, He said, the company ".owned 80 acres . more. . '.i-.-:- '"Of course." said Mr. Montgomery, ' who doesn't seera to hold any partlcu : lar position other than '. sales agent, i., ."we haven't streets enough now to use up all the names for which we have of fered $60 lots for $4.76, but we figure that we can us the names when we - plat our other 80 acres.

'.Fol- Sition by Speaker Rusk and a few other members, The house of representatives ai TVash lngton performed its duty at the recent session by passing a reapportionment bill, by which the membership of that body would have been Increased from 391 to 433. The bill was killed in the .senate. The extra session is the only hope for cnange in trie 01a apportion ment, under fhlch congreusmen hav been elected the last 10 years and which the country tias now outgrown. "The old apportionment must stand as it Is uuless. congress acts at the ex tra session." said former Senator Charles W.-Fulton, yesterday: "It is neceBsary in making a new apportionment for con gress to first fix ft ratio of representa tion an'd then to pass an act which statat- the number of representatives to whioli each .State, is entitled. , If ,no such act is passed, there Is no way to equalize the !

' - While the constitution of the-l'nited States ' says-congress "shall" mak a reapportionment every 10 years, there is no penalty for failure' to perform thiB duty. Every new, apportionment causes a lot of logrolling , netore rigurcs can be fixed to commund a majority voto, and this time thej measure was delayed so long that it was lost in he turmoil of the last hours. . , . 1 A. late Report from Washington shows ,the house reapportionment bill did not die in the senate committee, as first reported yesterday Jt was .called up by Senator La Follette,;who asked Im mediate consideration, This was part ed and - the .biff, was ; then killed.
