Near that city it Joins the Crooked river, and 30 miles to the northwest Crooked river flows into-the Deschutes river. - Six miles east of IMnevllle a pumping; station has been set up. Operated by electrical power furnished by the Des chutes river, it is pumping up the wa ters ef Ochoco creek to the hillsides; from which material is washed down to build a dam. This dam, when com pleted, will store up the waters of Ochoco creek in a reservoir four miles lor. and half a mile wide. . The stored up water will flow through miles of Irrigation canals, laterals and ditches and brine into productivity thousands ef acres of wheat land. The wheat will be shipped to Portland, where it will be loaded onto ships built of fir trees from the wooded Mils of Western Oregon and carried thousands of leagues across the seas to be made Into bread for khaki-clad men who sing this hymn along their country's battle line : I lora thy rock and rllU, - Thy woods and Wmpltd hills. The Ochoco irrigation district em braces 22,000 acres of land in Crook f county east of Prlneville. About one- third of this land Is under cultivation, another third has been dry-farmed with varying success, and the balance is new land now being cleared for agricultural purposes. Prior to any work being done en the irrigation project, the lands of the district. were appraised at 11.100,000. Dam Forms Great Lake Fbr irrigation purposes a hydraulic '.. till dam is being constructed to impound the water of Ochoco creek. When com pleted the dam will rise 125 feet above ,the bed of the stream ; the base will ex tend BOO feet up and down stream; it will be 1000 feet long and 20 feet wide at the top and 200 feet across the bot tom of the canyon. The fill will require 00,000 cublo yards of material. Con struction work was begun in September, . 1117. and the contract calls for comDle- tlon of the dam and main canal on April vim. The damming of Ochoco creek will form an artificial lake covering approxi mately 1200 acres and will hold in stor , age 47.000 acre-feet of water for irriga tion purposes. Irrigation of the land will -begin at the dam and will be ex tended by? a main , canal 25 miles ' In length nd over 100 miles of laterals and ditches. The dam is divided into two parts. The up-stream end or "toe" of the dam .rises 60 feet above the base of the can yon and is now nearing completion. More than 80,000 cublo yards of mate rial has been used in this fill. This "toe" will divert the waters of the ereek Into an irrigation system for use during the season of 1918.

He . served three years in the Eighty eecond Indiana regiment, infantry. tlon and dam engineers from various sections of the West. The financing of the project was ac complished by the issue of $900,000 of bonds, secured by the property of the Ochoco irrigation district. This Issue was purchased by Clark Kendall & Co. of Portland and the bonds have been' taken -as an 'investment by hundreds of people in this city? Farmers Gettiag Land Ready J. M. Howells of the Great Western Power company of San Francisco Is consulting engineer for the Ochoco Ir rigation district. Mr. HoweQs Is the author of the hydraulic fill dam. The first dam of this type was built by him in Texas 25 years ago. Since then he has built many similar structures in different parts of the world. There are several hydraulic fill dams in use In California, built by Mr. Howells, the largest being the Big Meadows dam on the Feather river, which impounds an artificial lake IS miles long and four miles wide. A. J. Wiley of Boise, Idaho, is the consulting engineer for Clark Kendall & Co. Mr. Wiley Is also consulting en gineer for the United States reclamation service and has .had more experience in constructing irrigation projects than any other man In the West. Mr. Howells and Mr. Wiley returned to Portland this week from a regular monthly inspection Of the werk in the Ochoco irrigation district. Both are enthusiastic in their praise of the work so far accomplished and place. s high estimate upon the benefits which the completion of the project wlH bring to the agricultural industry of the Prlne ville district. The substance of their report is summed up In this paragraph : "We find that in general the work so far done upon the dam is satisfactory, and shows skill and experience on the part of the engineers in charge." . The lands of the Ochoco .Irrigation district are suited for the production of wheat and other grains, alfalfa, beets -and . other root, crops. Land values la the district have advanced. materially since the work was .begun and a tract iof 6000 acres formerly a part; of the old; Oregon road grant has been dis posed of by the Oregon tc Washington Colonization company to settlers who are clearing If -and preparing to plant crops next season. ; .'

By S. R. Jr. , The end of the trail is in sight for the picturesque old-time "tramp printer. The linotype machine has taken from him his means of livelihood i baa. shuf fled him Into the discard. But there was a time when the tramp printer was an entity. As regular as the seasons rolled around he, and many of his kind, would drop into the country newspaper office for a day's work or two days, or a week. Jn the north in the summer time, and In the south , when It was cold la the north. He would bring his own blankets and sleep In the office, under the press may be, or In the "alley." Up bright and early he swept out, and was at the "case" with the rising sun.-vITo'd eat on the proprietor's order at tnSJocal restaurant. He'd drink on whoever would buy. A Bird of Passage But ne wouldn't stay long, with a bundle of "exchanges" under his arm; his blanket roll on his back, he'd disap fght "mirnlnT m Tuifly hsbld arrived. pear aown tne railroad track some arrived. And so the "tramp printer" would go on and on from town to town. Some of them followed the same circuit : for years and years. A few of them are still left, our old friend. Jack Silk, prince and dean of them all. among them. Well read, good talkers, lovers of strong corn cob pipes, much traveled, competent workmen, quiet and unassuming, enter taining,. Judges of good whiskey, clean drinkers, they minded their own busi ness, and were altogether a happy and loYeable race of rovers victims of the wafflTfrrlust, true sons of nature. .Of this type was "Long Primer Bill" Osborne, known In the early days, par ticularly to the fraternity In Eastern Washington and Oregon. Memories of the palmy days of "Long Primer Bill" have been recalled to the mind . of Mrs. Lulu D. Crandall, well known resident of The Dalles, by the finding of an old tintype of "Bill," prob ably the only one extant. "Long Primer BUI" Osborne "I knew -Bill' Osborne aU his life," said Mrs. Crandall. "We went to school together, and I never knew him to be called anything but BilL presume the teachers said 'William.' but I can not now say. "Bill Osborne got his title of "Long Primer Bill' when he. went to work In the 'Mountaineer' office at The .Dalles, at which WUllam M. Hand was editor and owner, as the office deviL . He was then a grown-up boy with astonish ingly long and thin legs, and he was built on these lines otherwise, and be cause of his build he received the nick, name of 'Long Primer Bill' which stuck to him until his death at Antelope only a year or so ago. "A story is told of an occasion in his life at Antelope of his having come in from the ranch, and getting suffi ciently 'soused' to be unwilling to return to the sheep camp where he was en gaged in keeping -a band of sheep from separating. A quart bottle was handed him, and . soon his sleeping body Was placed mjtop of a load of barbed Wire on A Heavy 'dead ox' wagon, and he was thus hauled to the camp, where a few days rest fixed him up; for ' perfectly good sheep tender for several montns to come. . "Neither Antelope nor The Dalles was dry" when 'Bill grew up in the print shop business. "Bill worked on The Dalles saners the Mountaineer and The Sun and at one tune was a foreman on the Port land Oregonlan, buttbecame a tramp printer1 andr mads the rounds of the towns of the- earlier days.

His rattier was born in Ireland and wben five years old went to Canada with his father's family. When under age about 17 he enlisted under an assumed name as a marine on the Constitution ('Old Ironsides') during the Mexican war. When his time was out he en listed in the regular army and came to Oregon with the Ninth U. S. Infantry to Fort Vancouver, under Colonel ' George Wright, late in 1855, coming by I way of the Isthmus of Panama. "Colonel Wright and the Ninth came! to Fort Dalles early in January of 1856, and .

"In the discharge of his duty he was stabbed on the parade ground by a drunken soldier named Sweeney while taking him to the guard house alone. . Sweeney was court martialed and shot.

Y., March .-Oj. P.) The fight against John Barleycorn waxed fiercer In the New York state legislature today. With Governor 'Whitman favor ing "the 'drys" more strongly than ever by his announced "Intention of vetoing the bill now in th'e legislature calllng'for a referendum on prohibition, the wet forces are going through their hardest battle since dry legislation was launched in this state. . Several prohibition propositions are be fore the legislature, . the biggest ratifi cation of the federal prohibition amend ment to the constitution. The drys claim 24 votes In the senate, where 26 are needed to win, and 78 or over half the membership in the as sembly, indicating a big drift in the last week. - Another angle to be considered Is the fact that while many of the legislators are personally opposed to prohibition, many of the districts which they repre sent have voted dry and it would be po litical suicide for them to vote against the ratification. - The real fight will berln next Mon day afternoon when the senate commit tee on retrenchment and taxation holds a hearing on two prohibition bills now pending, one calling for wartime prohi bition, beers and light wines excepted, called the Emerson bill, and the other calling for a dry amendment to the state constitution.
