ECHO IS ORGANIZED.
Business Men of the Booming Little
Irrigation City of Umatilla Show
That They Are Up-to-Date.

ber of the citizens and business men
of this town and vicinity met at the
office of the Arlington hotel at 2
o'clock this afternoon for the pur
pose of organizing an association to

ty. The meeting was well attended

tary, and A. W. Robinson, treasurer.

as a permanent committee on recep
tion and entertainment. The secre
tary was instructed to draw up suit
able by-laws for the regulation and
control of the association. The meet
ing then adjourned subject to the call
of the president.
This is certainly another move in
the right direction. There is surely
no locality that has a brighter future
before it than this vicinity when one
stops to figure that in this immediate
vicinity there are about 12,000 acres
of land with water flowing by the side j
of and through It. all easily irrigated
and capable of sustaining 1000 fam
ilies, that is owned by about 20 in
dividuals. It is already demonstrat
ed that this land is capable of pro
ducing 10 tons of alfalfa per acre per
annum. Besides peaches, pears, apri
cots, prunes, and in fact, anything
that will grow in a semi-tropical cli
mate, will grow as fine here as any
jJace on earth. This land, when prop
erly irrigated is equal to the Yakima
or Vineland country.
W. Vf. Hoagland of Spokane, spent
Sunday here. He took a drive over
the Butter Creek and Umatilla mead
ows and pronounced It one of the
finest countries he has seen anywhere.
He said he thought he would return
here in a short time for the purpose
of investing in rea". estate.
Frank Van Cleave was In yesterday
from the round-up in the vicinity of
Tub Springs. He says stock in that
part of the country has withstood
the rigors of winter very well.
L. S. Stubblefield. of Seattle, is
loading two cars with fat hogs here
today for the Seattle market. He is
paying 7 cents, live weight.
A large delegation from Pendleton

Senator Hanna Addresses the Repub
lican State Central Committee of
Ohio.
Columbus. Om April 21. The Neil
house was today the mecca for re
publican politicians from all Quarters
of Ohio, the occasion being a meeting
of the state central committee for
the purpose of naming the date and
place and otherwise arranging for
the holding of the state convention.
There were numerous Informal talks
during the forenoon and the day was
considerably advanced before the
committeemen got together behind
closed doors and began the real work
of the meeting. There Is a well-de
nned idea among the partr leaders
here that the committee will select
Columbus as the place and the second
week in Juno as the time for holding
the convention. It is likewise con
sidered probable that Senator Hanna
will deliver the keynote speech as
temporary chairman of the conven
tion and that Senator Foraker will
be chosen to act as permanent chair
man, following out the compromise
cr-angement that has been made at
previous conventions of the narty
throughout the city departments ir

A NATIONAL THEATER. S
Advocates Hold a Banquet and Make
Plans.
New York. April 21. For the pur
pose of furthering the movement of
the establishment in this city of an
endowed national theater, members
of the American Dramatic Club Sun
day night gave a dinner at DelmonI-

guest of honor.
"Give me a national theater," said
Mr. Conreld in bis address, "and I
am sure that the American Shakes
peare will write. This project can
not be accomplished in a year. We
will be lucky if it Is accomplished In
six years if the plan of the Comedle
Francaise be followed. The assur
ance is given me by a very wealthy I
man that as soon as the plan is de-
vised it will receive the requisite fi
nancial support."
