A powerful effort is being made by Queen Wary to end certain abuses which have been goa slped about ever since the London sea son wag ended. . The queen's Idea Is ' to restore the rigid etiquette of Queen Vlotoria'a reign and such practices as "mercenary spon soring" ami the presence or uninvited guests are the targets at which she la aiming. ' . .-v- -. When the queen heard that av peer's daughter had assisted a cockney hostess, about to give a large ball, and had re ceived $10,000 for her aervloes, she waa highly incensed and many of tha noble woman's relations absented themselves tn order to please the queen. The practice of several youns; men, who go to dances to which they have not been Invited, Is said to be known tn tha atrlct sovereign. - , i The jQueen can meet the isaue only by I boycotting the persons who offend an she Is ever ready to hear of such mis oonduot in order to punish It die be lieves that if the leading; hostesses band together and exile the social sponsors, the climbers and uninvited men, social life will be restored to. its former dignity.,-, Sh has expressed tho opinion that if hostesses would Issue tickets of admis sion to large parties intruders would be defeated; she holds that women of position should not encourage balls on a "financial basis." Four Cars of Steers Shipped. , Terrebonne, Or., Aug. JO. Four ear loads of fat steers, fed in the Prlne vllle country, were shipped from here yesterday by T. R. Howitt, three car loads bounds to North Portland and one to Troutdale. The cattle were in ex cellent condition. , A rabbit canning factory has been t, started In Argentina, in the hope of rid- sr aing some portions of the country or a peat In a profitable way. WORK ONFIRSUNIT OF WEST UMATILLA WORK TO PROCEED ,AT ONCE Continued From Page One. , Meyer, left for Idaho. The Portland : business men's car was attached to the V fast mall train of the O.-W. R. & N. and i- ther reached Portland about 7 o'clock this mornina. , Lane's viewing of the projects had " serious import. Irrigation In eastern Oregon was on trial. Not only the weat extension, but all other projects, trem bled In the balance.,, The head of the ' Interior department found it worth hia while to spend hours meeting settlers ' because he wanted to see if .irrigation Is a failure or a success. & . Evidence ravored Irrigation. "If appropriations to reclaim landa grow discontent and reap dissatisfac tion, then the money of this govern ment Is being wasted, saia ne. ' But the evidence was In favor of lr rlgatlon. Though some have failed, the majority are succeeding. The percent age of those who are not succeeding is not nearly as large as the percentage of failures In business. Human nature as well as handicaps of nature enter Into the complex problem. Teaterday's was a showing of first ' results on those battle grounds of peace, the Irrigation projects. At Ir rlgon a table heaped high with fruits and grains, A little way from Hermis- "ton was the home of Walter Botkin, Where the settlers of the "third unit" ' assembled. It was a sand hill of broad top. The little cottage home furnished 'a ribbon of shade from the blazing sun. Hers sat the secretary, while before mm earns the settlers witn tneis evi denes. ' Many were discouraged. Tha hill of sand drank up the water greed lly. leaving little for plants though the gates should be always open. And they had a real grlevanoe. - Settlement Was Encouraged. There waa no contesting the fact that "the government had pointed out t?ila third .unit as a desirable place to set " tie) had said 10 to 20 acres would sup . port a man and family. Yet there waa ne evidence that a aoll survey to ahow what could be done had been accurately made. Some of the land had taken 13 acrefeet of water and waa still dry, while the aeepage waa harming lower landa. There are 2700 acres in this unit, II. T, Irving, secretary of the Water Veers' association, presided.. Sellers from Northern Pacific land told a atory of sueeess due to hard work. Ed Bensel and his father told how the coarse sand YV SEE THAT ,URVE The value of your glasses depends on the accuracy of the eye examination.

Fifth and Morrison., Classes if neededas low as ;,'u;;.",'':; $2. -.: For they were making good. James Gent told what lie was doing with a hand cultivator on five acres. Cresson, who came from Wisconsin, said no 40 acros in Wisconsin could produce what his 10 acres had on the Umatilla proj ect. Tom Hattook said he would har vest 76 bushels of corn to the acre from part of his "20." J60 Aoraa Too Much. Lea Irving declared that his 10 acres was too much ground) that he cut JOS tons of alfalfa from 75 acres. Harry Summer said he had been held back two years because the water drained away through the sand. Then one year he planted alfalfa. It didn't do well, so he disked it into the i soil. On this soil he then found that irrigation was but half as difficult. Ills accidental dlacovery had set him on the road to success. Ha had also taken to raising pigs and had netted tto an -r from nlss on alfalfa pasture. All thejtn men asked extensions of! time on deferred payments that they might buy livestock, having become con-j vlnced that In raising hogB, cattle ana chickens was to be their permanent j success. Dr. C. J. Smith, formerly ot Umatilla county, Tom Richardson, Jo-' seph N. Teal, whom I-ane dubbed, "The Columbus of Eastern Oregon," giving him cradit for discovery of Its re sources, and C. S. Jackson urged coopera tion. Cooperation Is Essential. He ald the community withoot it could not succeed, no matter what the natural advantages, that with it the community would succeed no matt.ir what the handicaps. "I notice that but 10 Der cent of the farmers have failed, tut in the business world only 10 per; cent succeed." said he. "You have no; reason for discouragement." Men who came through the sage brush and sand of Umatilla years ago could, testify to the truth of the assertion , that there was reason for encourage- i ment Years ago the great sweep ofj land was empty of aught but jack rab-, bit-j The visitors yesterday saw homes clustered closely. I Land that formerly didn't support anything was making a living for till ers of 40-acre tracts. It was easy to Fee that the record of first results from Umatilla only developed within the last three to six years was about the same In hardship and discouragement as attended the pioneers of Iowa, Ohio or tha Willamette valley. Money Hard to Oet. Lane told the Hermlston people about the difficulty of getting money for lr rlgatlon projects. The government has invested $80,000,000, principally where private capital failed, said he. Now t75.O0D.000 more must be spent to make good on projects commenced. The re venues for the next four years win be but $35,000,000. To get the remainder needed, with enough additional to sup ply worthy appeals for help will ri- qulre a national bond Issue if congress will authorize it "'And you will get a square deal on those deferred payments," was his con cluding promise, made amid applause, j Asa B. Thomson and otners of Stan- field urged upon the secretary the ad visability of permitting the Paradise project of more than 40,000 aores to be watered from the Umatilla, saying the aeepage, rejoining the Umatilla river flow, would supply plenty of water for projecta below. It Is proposed to water the Teel project from the Camas creek through a long tunnel. It was Imposa' ble to see why these broad lands should not with water become aa produotlve as any other In the Umatilla country. Pendleton People Happy. Pendleton people were Jovial. Their welcome was hearty. They celebrated (he faot that Lane was the first secretary- of the Interior, the first cabinet officer, in fact, to visit them. Malor Swartslander, the Indian agent, took him to aee some or the 80.000-acre Indian reservation. This is immensely valuable Dronertv some of the best wheat land in a county that has produced $.000,000 bushels this year. The seoretary was aaked to an- prove a plan for Irrigating part of the Indian lands. He took the matter under advlaement Lane was pleased with TVnHi.t Speaking to The Journal corrcepondent he praised the town's air of bunti. an. enterprise, its well fitted stores, its hos pitable people. When Tom Richardson called it the "best town of Its Inches in the north, west, ' he applauded. Colonel Raley pre sided both at tha dinner in the St Uearga . hotel end at hs Commercial club reception.

He realises that the I, m.7,: party was given supremacy for the pur pose of serving the people. ..sAdminiitration Is Vntrammeied. "The preoident haa endeavored to se cure only the best and most useful public- servants. No administration was more untrammeled. The man is large above petty politics. I think that is a very rare thing." Lane's listeners ap plauded. "No administration was ever freer to serve the people, . all the people, not a few. Jnnae ua by or worka."
