NEW TOWER FOR FIRE DELL.
Old One Too Dilapidated to Re Re
paired Safely.
As the result of the examination
recently made of the old wooden
tower on Cottonwood street, It has
been found that It will be Impossible
to repair the structure without prac
tically building a new one. Conse
quently It Is now very probable that
a steel tower will be purchased by the
city Instead. It will cost $200 or $300.
For some time past the old bell tow
er has been a source of annoyance
to the council, as numerous com
plaints have been received about It.
At one time It was decided to secure
a steel tower. However, such was not
done, as It was thought the old one
would last until a city hall could be
built, after which a steel tower would
become worthless. But It now seems
that the expense will have to be
borne anyway.

1GATI0N FOR THE
John H. Lewis, state engineer for
Oregon, writes the following Interest
ing article to the Portland Telegram
on the subject of "Irrigation In the
Willamette Valley." Mr. Lewis Is an
enthusiastic lrrlgatlonlst and writes
as follows:
, If It is not out of place at your
meeting for the discussion of ques
tions pertaining to waterpower and Ir
rigation, I wish you would present for
consideration of the board the fol
lowing suggestions:
First That the Portland Board of
Trade petition the director of Irriga
tion investigations, United States de
partment of agriculture, Washington.
D. C, to send an expert to the Wil
lamette valley to gather statistics as
to the results of Irrigation where prac
ticed on a small scale, to determine
whether the soil Is adupted to Irriga
tion, and by comparison with other
sections report the probable results
under Irrigation.
Second That your board promote
the discussion of water laws, with the
view of presenting a bill to the next
legislature for the establishment and
recording of vested water rights and
providing for a new administrative
system, which Is essential to eliminate
from enterprises depending upon the
use of water the doubt as to the legal
status of water rights and the great
expense due to litigation resulting
from these uncertainties. I believe an
expert investigation, as first suggest
ed, will show that the highest devel
opment of this valley Is not possible
without Irrigation, or In places by a
combined system of irrigation and
drainage. I further believe that con
ditions here are as favorable for In
tensive cultivation as found In the Ir
rigated sections of eastern Oregon,
where from 10 to 14 per cent profit
on a valuation of $200 per acre Is re
ported, all help being hired. An ex
periment at Coi-vallls, reported in the
Oregonlan of September 8, shows that
four crops of alfalfa can be grown.
The first cutting, on April 19, is fully
a month earlier than Is possible in
eastern Oregon. The last cutting was
made on August 25, and It is supposed
that the usual fall pasture could be
had. The weight of greed feed ob
tained from the first crop Is almost
equal to that from the other three
crops grown during the dry weather.
It Is believed the three later crops
would each nearly equal 'the first
cutting, provided the necessary moist
ure were artificially furnished.
Export Opinion Needed.
With an expert opinion that the
Willamette valley with irrigation will
he the most prosperous section of Or
egon, end with. the realization of its
great water power resources, I believe
the people of this section will be suf
flciently Interested to secure the pas
sage of a modern Irrigation law, In
which beneficial use of water shall
be the measure and limit of the
right.
The Idea that all rights to the use
of water shall be based upon benefic
ial use Is, of course, as fully applica
ble to mining, power, manufacturing
and all other beneficial purposes, as
to Irrigation.
Land without water In the larger
part of this state Is worth from $3 to
$6 per acre; with a good water right
It Is worth from $40 to $200 or more

CRAZY LOGGER.
La Grande Man Crnzed by Drink Trios
to Commit Suicide.
Lou Winn, who attempted to com
mit suicide at one of the Grand Ronde
lumber logging camps a day or two
ago by trying to cut his throat and
both wrists, and who was brought to
La Grande for medical treatment and
placed In the county Jail to sleep off
a long drunken spree, made another
attempt to shirk the responsibilities
of life by trying to hang himself,
using the bandages that had been
placed uround his neck In dressing
WILLAMETTE VALLEY
per acre, depending on transportation
facilities. An abstract showing the
undisputed owner of the land can be
secured, but under present laws this
Is not possible for the water right,
which represents practically the entire
value. No central office exists In
which all the water filings of a stream
are required, and no proof of comple
tion of work is required so that the
records may be completed as to how
many of the filing? have ripened Into
vested rights. .
To know If any surplus water la
available In a stream for appropria
tion for beneficial use, It Is necessary
to know the dally discharge from ac
tual observations extending over a
period of several years, as all streams
vary from year to year; also the
amount of water necessary to satisfy
vested rights below the proposed point
of diversion. The stream measure
ments carried on by the state engi
neer's office, with both the state and
government appropriations, amount,
lng In all to $5000 per annum, will
furnish the Information as to amount
of discharge In the principal streams
at various seasons.
Interests of Settlers.
This Information has been fre
quently called for by local and east
ern Interests for waterpower develop
ment, and has been Invaluable to the
state land board In protecting the in
terests of future settlers on lands to
be reclaimed by the state under the
provisions of the Carey act. With
the present legitimate rights estab
lished and recorded, the water sup
ply being known, the uncertainties of
being enjoined from diverting the
waters after the completion of an ex
tensive ditch or power plant would
be eliminated. The value of vested
rights would be Increased thereby,
and til-! acquire nient of neiv rights
g-ent'y encouraged. There Is a ilmlt
to the beneficial use to which each
stream can be put, and If the state
permits the appropriation of water
beyond this point, it does not protect
Its citizens in their legitimate and
vested rights. The dynamiting of
dams and headgates In the Irrigated
sections of Oregon and Washington Is
the exercising of the right of self
protection In the absence of the state's
police protection over the waters of
the state.
Legislation Elsewhere.
Substantially the same law which
was proposed by the state commission
to the last legislature was passed In
North Daklta, South Dakota and Ok
lohoma, and I believe can well be ac
cepted by the board as a basis for
discussion. The main features of a
new law for Oregon will be chiefly
administrative, the substance as to
rights, loss of rights, etc.. having to
conform to the early decisions of the
courts.
To Insure passage, any change In
the water laws must be thoroughly
discussed by the best competent legal
tnlent and supported by the represen
tatives from the Willamette valley, as
well as from eastern Oregon. A mod
ern law should be prepared and vig.
orously supported by those having the
Interest and welfare of the entire state
at heart, and not, as Is often the
cose, by those seeking special leglsla
tlon.
Very respectfully,

prosecution, and the objection sus
tained.
Judge Fee than stated what they
were going to prove, and Mr. Phelps
asked that he put It In writing, but
the court allowed the statement to
be made to the reporter, and Instruct
ed the jury that they were not to take
into consideration what the defense
said they Intended to prove.
'We expect to show," said Judge
Fee, "that he was informed by his
youtigeBt son that day, (July 11,
1905), that the experts were down to
the depot and said to some one pass
ing through, that there was a short
age In the accounts of one of the
men keeping the accounts in the sher
iff's office. Upon the next day the
oldest son employed me, and we came
up to the sheriff's office. And I ex
pect to show that I told him It was
absolutely necessary to look over the
accounts." At this point Mr. Phelps
objected that these things he told
somebody were rubbish and had uj
place In the record.
The court ruled that It was not
proper to relate what he had said.
Judge Fee advised the court that he
was bringing this In to show that the
conversation that Til Taylor had with
Mr. Davis about the shortage was af
ter the time they had all talked It
over In his office, and not the time
that Mr. Taylor said it was down in a
loon.
Judge Fee then continued with the
examination.
"I will ask you, Mr. Davis, If you
did subsequent to the first day of July,
make an Investigation of the affairs
In the sheriff's office?"
"I did."
"What did you find?"
"A shortage of about $3,000 or
$3500."
"Did you tell Mr. Taylor about It?"
"I did not myself; I had a person
tell him."
"Whom did you select?"
"Judge Fee."
In reply to a question by the ex
aminer Mr. Davis stated that he had
made a memoradum of the shortages
as he found them to exist In the of
fice. That there was about $3500
shortage, but that there was $1864.89
In the cash drawer, and receipts for
about $1267.12. There were also vari
ous small Items which he enumerated
amounting to about $300. The wit
ness then told of several amounts
that different employes of the office
had out. Joe Blakley had about
$437.87 and A. C. Funk about $31.90,
but that he himself had no money
out. but he had had at once time
$164.40 of the sheriff's money, but
had returned It all.
Judge Fee now opened the register
and turned to an amount whlcn the
state had shown to be $100 short, and
asked Mr. Davis how that occurred.
He replied that It was a mistake In
addition.
Farm the Best Place.
Prof. Klngsley, superintendent of
the Evanston schools, has made a dis
covery. He says that the children of
today lack the initiative and spirit of
self reliance that the youngsters had
a generation ago. The professor, of
course, is speaking of the children
that come under his observation. He
declares that the farm Is the best
place for the boys to grow up. Prof,
Kingjley Is not th first to discover
this. Sociologists have reached this
conclusion long ago, but the fact re
mains that not everybody can live
in the country, and so It Is up to the
educators to Introduce a system that
will take the place as much as pos
slbfe of country life. Short excursions
to the country and the study of nature
will do some of It, but what Is most
needed Is the healthy exercise that
goes with farm work, and the elim
ination of the demoralizing features
that are so common In the big cities

ViijiiAt Freight Rates.
Last Saturday evening the Hood
River Apple Growers" Union shipped
to Fran!! Kathrelners, Nachfolger,
Hamburg, Germany, two boxes of
apples upon which the charges were
$9.75 divided as follows: Hood River
to Fuffalo, $0; Puffalo to Xew York
$1.25: Xew York to Hamburg, Ger
many, $2.50. This is the second ship
ment made like this during the apple
season. There is a problem In freight
rales therein for some philosopher to
solve. Why should It cost almost
twice as much to carry this shipment
from Hood River to Xew York as it
does to carry it from Xew York to
Hamburg? Why should it cost halt
as much to carry the shipment 411
miles from Buffalo to Xew York that
it does to carry It 4403 miles from
Xew York to Hamburg, Germany?
There is certainly a kinky-headed in
dividual In the wood pile. Where is
Teddy with the bte stick? There
should he an adjustment of rates. Of
course we don't care for the shippers,
they can stand it, but the railroads
should whack up with th-? ocean
steamers better than that. What do
you think, fellow fruitgrowers. Hood

Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work.;
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood
It used to be considered that only ,
urinary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys,
but now modern
science proves that .
nearly all diseases '
have their beginning
in the disorder of
these most important
organs.
The kidneys filter
and purify the blood
that is their work.
Therefore, when your kidneys are weak
or out of order, yon can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected and
how every organ seems to fail to do it
duty.
If you are sick or " feel badly," begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
as your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.
If yon are sick you can make no mis
take by first doctoring your kidneys.
The mild and the extraordinary effect of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy, is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful cares
of the most distressing cases, and is sold
on its merits by all
druggists in htty-cent ,
and one-dollar sizsBf
bottles. You may
have a sample bottle none of Swum Root
by mail free, also a pamphlet telling yon
how to find out if you have kidney or
bladder trouble. Mention this paper
when writing to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binj
liamton, N. Y. Don't make any mistake,
but rememlier the name, Swamp-Root,
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the ad
dress, Binghamton, N. Y., on every bottle.
