An example of what can be done tor the reclaimation of arid lands under Klickitat county, Wash., where the vot ers of the middle irrigation district will soon vote upon the question -of bonding . legislative stimubus is being given in the district for half a million dollars for the purpose of constructing an irrigating ditcii fifty miles long, twelve feet wide at the bottom and eigh ten n at the top, to carry fdur feet of water, or a sufficient quantity to irrigate 40,000 acres of land at an estimated cost of $5 an acre. A suitable irrigation law in Oregon would enable various natural irrigation dis- , tricts to provide means in a similar way and thousands of " acres, now of little practical value, would be rendered pro ductive and valuable without the ex- ' penditure of any money by the state. . The Hood River valley has at least two natural irrigation districts with an , abundance of water for every acre of land in the valley. All they need is the ; necessary funds to build the ditches. With such a law as they have in our sis ter state a month would not pass till steps were taken to secure this result. The bonds of such a district would be a good investment, secured both upon the land and the ditch. We have thous ands of acres elsewhere in this countv that with water to irrigate them would produce anything that can be grown in a similar climate and in an abundance that cannot be exceeded any where else, in the world. For manv .nt these lands artesian water is perhaps the only practical means of irrigation and it is quite possible and even more than probable that water could be ob tained by this means at even less ex pense than by ditching from rivers and creeks. There is a stretch "of country lying south of and bordering on the Columbia river in this and Sherman counties practically valuless for grain raising, yet. as good fruit land as ever lay to the sun, if it only had the neces sary water for irrigation. Put water on these lands and their yalue would be in creased ten fold and twenty acres would do more to support a family in comfort than half a sec tion does at the present time. The man who shall solve the .problem of irrigation for the hills of Wasco county will do-more for his coun try than if he talked tariff, sub-treasury iind free coinage till the judgment day. Shrewd observers of political affairs -slnjngly 8uspe;t that David B. Hill would not bo utterly heart-broken should iho republicans elect their gov ernor tins year and in confirmation of their theory they point to Hill's speech at Mulone hi which he advocated the passage of a law reducing the rate of in terest from 5 to 6 per cent. This feat ure of his address is considered, signifi "Crtht from the fact Lhat Mr. Flower waa 'one of a delegation of bankers which "went to Albany to defeat .that measure "when it was before the last legislature. JTt is suspected that Hills advocacy of the measure, in his Malone speech, was one of those sly, intentional blows that are sometimes delivered in houses bf-friends and that Hilt- would be'pleased at Flow ers defeat to boom his own presidential aspirations as';, the only democrat who can carrv the state of New York. If rain-maker Melbourne is. a fraud, he has a singulfir way of . doing business. We understand he acts upon the princi ple of- certain physicians who advertise "no cure no pay." ' If 'Melbourne is hired to produce rain and no ,rain comes nobody is out anything but himself. This is eminently fair . and would indi cate that ho, at least has faith in his own powers, it appears he hus entered into a contract with a committee at Cheyenne to produce a certain number of inches of water at or near that place during the months of May, June and July 1892 and', in the event of his fail ure, to receive nothing for his trouble. Melbourne) would be a very handy man to have around here during these same months, if he can do all he pretends to do. SJThe enterprising editor of the Tacoma New is advocating the holding of the next national democratic convention at Tacoma. He proposes to start- four special trains from Portland, Maine, New York, Washington, D. C, and some point in Florida.' Each train shall pick up delegates in the district of coun try through whicb it passes. The long est trip which any man will have to make will occupy four days and the democrats, of the northwest will pay all the expenses. '-Tacoma," says the New man, "has more and bigger hotels than any city five times her size and we will have finished, early next year, another new one that will cost a million and a half. We will pay all hotel bills and if the national committee desires a guarantee of good faith we will place with them a certified check for $20,000 that our program will be carried out." Grave political reasons are urged in de fense of this scheme. No convention of the kind has ever been held in the far west, while the political balance of power has certainly come here and therefore western states will play an im' portant part in the great game cf na tional politics. It can'only be a matter of a short time when some national con vention will be held here and the one that comes first' will have certain' ad vantages over any other. Those who are demanding the Sunday closing of the world's fair have met with a class of allies where they least ex pected. They seem to have the impres sion ' that if the . fair should be kept closed on Sundays the visitors would crowd into the ' churches. But the Chicago saloon keepers know human nature a little better and they are earn estly seconding the pious efforts of the Sabbatarians, well knowing that the success of the Sunday closing movement means thousands of dollars in their own pockets. 1IBIGF STATE NEWS. Flour is retailing in Long Creek at $8 a barrel. However, there will be a rol ler mill in operation soon and the price will then come down.- ' Deputy Sheriff Cochran, of Eugene, who has just returned from Gardiner, says Albertson is improving daily and is now able to sit up. It will be about one week yet, however, before he is moved to Tacoma. ; The parties who were boring for oil at Hubbard, in Marion county,, and lost their auger at a depth of 360 feet, have begun operations agaip. They are Pennsylvania oil men, and are confident that there is oil in Oregon. In the divorce case of Ml W. McMurry and wife, at Eugene, an agreement has been reached, the defendant, McMurry, paying to the plaintiff the sum of $1000, and the further sum of $1500 to E. R. Skipworth as guardian of the children of the defendant and plaintiff, the latter fund to be used for their benefit. . A meeting of a number of the large taxpayers of Eugene was held Wednes day evening, snd it was agreed to fight the present levy ot taxes under which no indebtedness was deducted. They will employ counsel and ask the city to sue one person ior nis taxes, tor -the pur pose of making a test case. The assessment rolls of Grant county for 1890 show the .net value of taxable property to be $1,209,570 while that of 1891 is $1,199,840. The tax roll shows an increase in the number of polls and taxpayers while due to an increased in creased indebtedness, the net value of taxable property has been decreased $9730. The woods are full of people up At the head of tide, says the Florence West. They are people from the Willamette, valley mostly, and are there camping out for a few days, and are loading their wagons wiin nsn, wmcn they intend salting. The steamer Coos has taken op for these people as manv as 500 fine sal mon this week. i Esther Roeder. a woman of the street in Astoria, went to bed drunk -with a lighted cigarette in her mouth. An hour afterward smoke was seen issuing from the room, and an entrance being effected the unfortunate woman was found to be dreadfully Burned on her neck, face, breast and shoulders. She was removed to the hospital.. It is estimated that $40,000 will be re quired for county purposes. A ta levy of sixteen mills has been made one- tenth of a mill for the state university ; five mills, school : two mills, road: eight and nine-tenths mills, county.. The tax roll for the county foots up 4:800.0OO: about $3,000,000 less than the city that is, tne enure county oi uiatsop is worth $3,000,000 less than one corner of it. In mathematics, says the Astorian, "the whole is equal to the sum of its parts," dui me assessors are aiuerent. The pioneers ofCoos county have de cided to hold a grand rally at Coquille City on the oth day of next November at one o'clock p. m., for the purpose of organizing a society. All those who settled in Coos county prior to 1888 are invited to attend thfe meeting. Judge Lowe, G. M. Deer, John Hamblock, J. Henry Schroeder, Captain W- H. Har ris. Richard Cnsaans. Churls Mornhont Aiex Stanff, I. Hacker, David Holland! and W. P.Hermann are a committee to advance the organization. Sunday last the force employed at the Baker City Lime and Marble Works put in a block of giant powder to reduce a bluff of rocks and earth. The explosion had the effect of loosening the bluff but it did not fall and Monday two men named Bud Crews and Jesse Beam went on top of it and commenced work, using crowbars.- Suddenly the rock gave way under Crews and the unfortum ' man was precipitated headlong over -he pre cipice a distance of forir feet Beam went to his relief and found his right leg broken between the knee and hip and his shoulder badly mnshed GENKBAL PERSONAL MENTION, Mrs, Besant will go to India on a lec turing tour and will be a new departure among the Orientals, who only allow their women folks to lecture in the pri vacy of their homes. ' Oscar Wilde mourns the loss of his clothing, -which has been stolen by van dal burglars. It should be said in their defense that they worked in the dark and could not see what they were taking. Prince Christian Victor, of Schleswig-! Holstein, is gaining military experience and finding pretty bits of fighting as an attache of the Black monn tain expedi tion in India, where General Ellis and his army are engaged in bringing, the hill tribes into subjugation. - A small cross of rough white stone marks the spot in Phoenix park in Dublin where Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke, were butchered by the "Invincibies." ' A correspondent writes that the grass about the cross has been entirely tramped away by tne thousands of footsteps of those who have visited the scene of the tragedy. , Though everybody knows that ex-Senator Blanche K. Bruce, the colored Mississippian, holds the position ' of re-1 corder of deeds in the District of Colum bia, it is not generally understood that this is the best-paying . federal office after the presidency. When Fred Douglass held the place it paid him the handsome return of $40,000 a year. SOCIETIES. ASSEMBLY .NO. 4827, K. OF L. Meets in K. of P. hall on first and third Sundays at 3 o'clock p. m.
