A pamphlet describing: Irrigated
lands open tor settlement on the
Turaalo project and giving prices of
privately owned lands on the project
and in the vicinity, is being- published
by the Oregon state immigration
commission and the Oregon Develop
ment league.
The report on the Tumalo project
is favorable as to the fertility of the
lands for certain purposes, saying:
"The lands are slightly rolling In
character, for the most part being
covered with a natural growth of
juniper and sage brusbv about 900
acres having a fair growth of
merchantable yellow pine timber. The
cost of clearing the land will vary
from IS to $26 an acre. The Juniper
trees, when cleared, make excellent
posts and wood.
The soli varies from 19 Inches to
six feet in depth and consists of a
pumice sand and light volcanic ash
and some loam. Lands are particu
larly adapted to the raising of forage
, crops such as alfalfa, clover and vari-
"ous root crops.
Dairying and Hog Seising.
"There M considerable settlement
at the present time on the project,
dairying and hog raising being the
principal Industries .followed. The
elevation here varies from 2900 to
3500 feet, but the climate is mild,
neither the extremes of winter nor
summer being experienced.
"More' or less loose rock is en
countered throughout the project, but
for the most part is very easily
cleared.
"The town of Laldlaw on the Des
chutes river is the only town at
present on the project, and Is four
miles from Deschutes, the nearest
railroad point, on the Oregon Trunk
and the Oregon-Washington Railroad
&. Navigation company lines.
"The project engineer, with offices
at Laldlaw, is empowered to enter
. Into contract on behalf of the state, 1
Many of the original settlers In this
district are holding from 80 to 640
acres of land, and realizing that it
Is .impossible to irrigate . and won
such large tracts, are subdividing
their lands and offering them for sale
at very reasonable prices and terms,
in some cases. Including improve

On the Tumalo project now open
for entry are 69 claims of Carey act
land containing 40 acres to each

Of this number:

PAPER MONEY TO BE
MORE EXTENSIVELY

Bankers ; Say Change Will
Come as Result of Reserve
Bank,
EAST PREFERS CURRENCY
TURNED OVER TOO OFTEN
When Kenneth McDonald, 14 months
old, awoke yesterday afternoon, the
first thing he did was to turn over on
the bed where his mother had placed
him. One good turn apparently de
served another, for the child was soon
at the edge of the bed, from which he
fell to the floor. The mother heard
him cry and ran into the room. A phy
sician was later called and found the
right leg broken. The boy was taken
to the Good Samaritan hospital. The
McDonald family lives at 288 East

San Francisco Banks Are Vow Paying
Xiargaly Greenbacks and Silver
Seasons Explained.
Paper money, which has never been
used to any great extent on the Pacific
coast. Is to become more and more the
medium of exchange here, according to
the opinions of leading bankers.
This change in the medium of ex
change, say the bankers, will result
from the establishment of a federal re
serve bank on the coast, as then the
banks will be able to keep supplies of
fresh currency on hand.
Already the banks of San Francisco,
according to an announcement made by
James K. Lynch, vice-president -of the
First National bank of San Francisco,
and president of the San Francisco
Clearing House association, are paying
out paper money and silver almost ex
clusively. "Paper is going to be used a great
deal hereafter on the coast and the
banks are merely putting it into circu
lation now eo as tv accustom their
tellers handling it and overcome Cali
fornia's proverbial suspicion of paper
money," stated Mr. Lynch. "The war
la hastening the advent of paper'
money, that la mXLT ,'
A. L- Mills, president of the First
National 'hank: and president of the
Portland ' Clearing ' House association.
Said that when the federal reserve
bank is established at San ; Francisco
be expected paper money to come Into
more general use than gold. So far,
however, : he said ' that tho Portland
bankers axe making no particular ef
fort to accustom the public to the use
of paper money.
There is no reason why , one section
of the country should have a different
general medium of (exchange than an
other," said Mr. Mills. -Paper money
is used almost entirely In the east, but
we have always been a 'gold coast.'
This has been due largely to the fact
that we are so far from Washington,
where the currency Is issued.
"In the east the banks are able to !
keep supplies of fresh, crisp cur
rency on band at all times. As soon as
a bill becomes slightly soiled it Is sent
to Washington for exchange for a new
bill. But out here we are so far from
Washington that when currency gets
into circulation it is usually kept there
until It becomes soiled and filthy and
no one likes to hande it. With a reserve
bank at San Francisco we 'will be able
to keep fresh currency on hand,
'Currency is- more convenient to
handle than gold. It Is easier to carry.
It will also be better for business, as
in. times of stress when we have to
use paper money anyway, there will
not be the resentment against it that
is now felt when we are required to
use It." 1 x

CIRCULATE PEOTIONS
FOR RECALL OF ALLEN,
MARSHFIELD
MAYOR
(Special to The Journal.)
Canby, Or., Aug. 18. About 100 acres
of timber land underbrush have been
burned on the banks of the Willamette
river about three miles north of Canby
by a forest fire that has been burning
there for the last week. The fire seems
to have started at J. F. Beats' place
and from there it crossed over on to
Obryan and Stefani's woods. Late Sun
day night 200 coxds of wood owned by
E. Stef anl was burned and later the
fire started towards his house. It was
feared that the people present would
be unable to stop the flames, but by
back firing and working the rest of the
night it was driven off towards the
river.
Ora Slyter also has much cord wood
near there and it was feared that the
fire would go in that direction. The
wind is now favorable, however, and it
is thought that all danger has passed.
Fighters expect to have the fire under
control soon.
George Koehler, the fire warden for
Green Point Fire Out.
Hood River, Or Aug. 18. The forest
fires that have been raging in the
mountains near Green Point and that
caused the buring of the large sawmill
plant of the Stanley-Smith Lumber
company valued at $125,000, are now
under control. The wind having turned
to the east and north caused its own
back fire and with the help of a large
crew of men the other sawmill plants
in this section are now safe. The at
mosphere is practically clear of smoke
in the Hood River valley today.

Big Jump Is Taken
In Postal Deposits
MAY OFFER COMPROMISE
7. S. Alien Chosen by Big Majority
at Xjast City Election.
The largest Increase in postal sav
ings deposits ever made in connection
with the operations of the local postal
savings bank has occurred within the
past 15 days, according to the state
ment of Postmaster Myers. The net
gain since August 1 has been 836,000.
or more than $2000 a day over the de
posits for the same period a year ago.
This increase is believed to be due to
the fact that persons are withdrawing
their money from the privately owned
savings banks. The withdrawals on the
other hand In the past 15 days have
been very small; much under the nor
mal withdrawal figure, Mr. Myers asserts.
Marshfleld. Or., Aug. 18 Petitions
are being circulated for the recall of
Mayor F. E. Allen of Marshfleld. So
far the matter has been kept somewhat
quiet. It appears that there are two
objections put forward by those op
posing the mayor, his position regard-
' lng speaking on the streets, and the
men wno are serving on the police
force. When members of the I. W. W.
were deported from this city some time
ago, the trouble started on account of
public speaking on the streets, which
was ordered stopped by Dr. Straw, who
was then mayor.
Lately a Prohibitionist has been
holding public meetings on the streets
and many have objected. Mayor Allen
said he could find no law to prevent
the speaking. Opposing factions ob
ject to this stand. Recently when a
woman was tried for keeping a dis
orderly house as a part of a vice cru
sade, the woman gave testimony detri
mental to the members of the police
force, claiming that they were fre
quenters of' her place. It is understood
that those- circulating - ths - petitions c
for a recall will present the matter to .
Mayor Allen and ofwsr ' to drop the -whole
proceedings if he will discharge t
the entire police force, bat that Other
wise they win go ahead with the re
call. It is believed that Mayor Allen
will refuse to discharge the force.
At the last city election Allen WM--elected
mayor by a big majority over ,;
two other candidates. This spring toe ?:
was defeated for the Republican nomi
nation for county clerk. - .
