Committee of Citizens to Solicit Gov ernment Aid Artesian Water on Washington Side Opposite Castle Rock. The discovery of artesian water op posite Cascade Itock, on the Washing ton side, has Influenced the rommlO tee of Morrow county men named to Investigate the irrigative possibilities of northern Morrow, to suggest gov ernmental experiments for artesian wells as a solution for irrigation o' the arid lands of this district, says a correspondent of the Telegram. Tho committee submits to the Co lumbia River irrigation Association, the state organization, two proposi tions one to take water from the Umatilla River at a point near Echo, and run a high line ditch through northern Morrow, and one to' try for nrtesian water. The former project Is given prominence as ueing entirely feasible. Its successful execution would mean Irrigation of over 100, 000 acres. The committee consists of E. M. Shutt, Frank Gillla, G. Consor, J. M. Heger and W. B. Flnley. It has been at' work for several months and re ports to have looked over the topogra phy of the district Involved with care. At present there are a dozen townships in northern Morrow, which are noth ing but waste sheep range, too sandy to cultivate and so bare as to produce scarcely enough grass for summer range. The whole district is compar atively level, and slopes beautifully down to the Columbia, the 18-mlle slope running about 22 or 23 feet per mile just enough for Irrigation pur poses. For years It has been an irrigation dream to take water from the Umatilla River and run.a high line ditch across the Butter Creek country of westori Umatilla, and thence across the arid lands of Morrow, running into the Co lumbia below this place. Dr. N. G. Blalock, of Walla Walla, even went to the expense of having plans and sur veys made, and of formulating a scheme to water an eighth of a million acres of this territory. Capital was never secured to carry out tho project and It has been evident for years that government assistance would br necessary. Of late efforts are being made to enlist government and state aid by the business men of Morrow and Umatilla. The Umatilla could not furnish cuf flcient water to irrigate a quarter of the area In summer. The stream Ik now taxed to its utmost by the small ditches nnd by farmers' Irrigating sys tems between Pendleton and Umatil la, and at the height of the dry season last year, there was no water what over running at the Umatilla's mouth. This apparently insurmountable oh stado is to be overcome in two ways, according to the investigating commit tee. The Umatilla is a raging moun tain river at high water, pouring mil lions of gallons to waste every 24 hours. At this period the entire area under the ditch is to be Hooded thor oughly, thus making less water neces sary during tho dry season. The neces sary water is to bo stored in reser voirs which will be filed at high water. Thus tho winter and spring flow would he made sufficient for the summer's needs. As an offset to the expense of con structlng artificial reservoirs of the vast capacity that would be required natural reservoirs which could be fit ted up with comparatively small x pendlture, are suggested as a substi tute. Little fluming excepting one long stretch across the Butter Creek coun try, would be necessary, The slope of the Columbia has prar tieally no winter, and is an Ideal spot for raising fruits, vegetables and ber ries. The project would be tho biggest irrigation enterprise yet carried out In Oregon, and the season would be tho earliest. Evidence of what the Columbia River vnlley will do is seen on Blalock Island, where seven tons of alfalfa have been taken off at one cutting. National Association Wants to Adopt Standard Rules to Govern America and England. New York, Feb. 13, Much more than the usual routine of alloting tour nament dates is likely to occupy the attention of the delegates to the twer. ty-second annual meeting of the United States Notional Lawn Tennis Associa tion thnt will be held at the Waldorf Astoria tomorrow. "Several changes in the playing rules will be given careful consltlciatlon. looking lownrd 1 stnne aid that Is the same both In this eon tiy and in England. The sending of an American team abroad And the ar rangements toward consideilng the challenge that Is sure to come from the English l.awn Tennis Association must also be settled. New rules gov erning the plan In tho national cham pionship at Newport are also to be brought to the front, so that the win ner o tho tournament will be obliged to meet the champion. These things are all of great Import, and arc likely to result In the most wordy meeting that the American tennis body has held In many years. ADVOCATE GOOD ROADS. M. M.

A large and representative attendance is evidence of the general interest manifested in the international conference on tho subject of pood roads, which began It sessions In Detroit today. The main object of the conference is to discuss the proposed plan to connect all the capitals and principal cities of the United States, Canada and Mexico by good roads, conforming In this respect with the principal countries of Europe. The project is already before con gress through a bill Introduced by Representative Brownlow, of Tennes see, which provides that congress shall appropriate $20,000,000, which shall supplement moneys raised by the var ious states tor the building of the roads. Another question to be cussed by the convention Is that of street roadbeds, and a report of the practical working of the steel road re cently constructed in Now York City will be presented for consideration.

Coulter, of the Univer sity of Chicago, and President Bryan, of Indiana State University. The dis cussions are to cover a wide range of practical educational topics. Series of Musicales. L. E. Therkelsen has a project which Is liable to ripen Into something more than an occasional evening's en joyment for those who love music. Mr. Therkelsen will, before long, insti tute a series of musicales to be given at his - music house. Each of thoEe musicales to be conducted or arrang ed and then carried out by and under the direction of a different teacher of vocal or instrumental music, and per haps the trained musicians of (he city who are not professionals will contributo of their own skill and on thusiasm for the sake of a purely so cial and informal feast of harmony The expeetatlon is that the profes sional musicians at least shall contrib ute each to the other's programs. The natural outcome of such an enterprise would appear to an outsider to be ttio organization of a musical society that would be composed of the best musical talent of tho city. A Startling Accident.

Because the digestive or gans are not strong enough to perform their proper func tions. Why should these organs be aided in their work ? Because the digestion of ordinary food is more than they can accomplish when they are in a weakened con dition. Jt is necessary that some aid in the form of an easily assimilated nourish ment be provided. Why does the nourish ment supplied in Scott's Emulsion feed the body when ordinary food does not ? Because being scientifically emulsified it is rendered much more easily digested and the whole system gathers nourish ment with much less effort. There is less tax upon the whole digestive tract. Why is the nourishment contained in Scott's Emulsion assured proper distribution ? Because the emulsion is easily and naturally taken up and utilized by the system. Why of Scott's noticeable? Because the ingredients represent the very form of nourishment needed. The stomach requires a change and rest from ordinary food and hence the good effects of the emulsion are quickly seen. Why is Scott's 'Emul sion a food for the whole system ? Because every part of the emulsion oil, hypophos phites and glycerhie, is adapt ed to some special need of the body when a wasting con dition exists. Why is it necessary to nourish the whole body when only one part is affected ? Because the blood, nerves, bones and muscles must all be considered and provided for in restoring waste and establishing uniform health. Scott's Emulsion gives nour ishment to all, collectively and individually. We'll send you a sample free upon 'request. SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl St., New York.
