WHISTLER'S OPINION AS
TO THE IRRIGATION CANAL.
canal Is being secured, and the en
gineering plans are being completed.
As the feed-canal Is to be 25 miles
long, the securing of the right of way
is considerable of an undertaking.
The land through which the canal
will run is high and arid for the
most part, and will not be Irrigated.
The owners are being paid for the
right of way, and most of them are
acting fairly with the government.
However, some are disposed to hold
out for high prices.
Should nothing occur to block pro
ceedings, Mr. Whistler believes bids
for the construction of the canal will
be advertised for In May. However,
the secretary of the interior may In

John T. Whistler, head of the recla
mation work in Oregon, has been in
the city today, having come up from
Echo this morning.
While speaking this morning of the
progress being made on the East

ed he knew of nothing to prevent the
early commencement of work. At
present the right of way for the feed
which case further time would be
necessary.
In the event that bids be called for
during May, the actual construction
work could be undertaken before the
end of June. But this Is on condition
that the work be let by contract upon
receipt of the first bids. While -this
will probably be done, there Is noth
ing certain about It. Should the de
partment consider the bids too high,
the work may be done by the gov
ernment itself.

The COLD CREAM
MONTH
March Is the month when
complexions suffer unless
prote t-d by the use of some
preparation that will pre
vent drying, chopping and
roughening of the skin. A
good cold cream will answer
the purpose better than any
thing else, providing you get
one that is lightly made.
Our cold cream is right In
every particular. It's a dainty
pure white, delightfully per
fumed cream, that will feed
the tissues and protect and
beautify the complexion.

President Cohen Acts In Behalf of
Board of Managers.
By action of the board of manag,
ers of the Commercial association, the
services of H. E. Wilson, physical dt
rector of the gymnasium, have been
dispensed with and for a while at
least, the gymnasium will be without
a director. At a recent meeting of
the board of managers it was decided
to take the above step as soon as the
financial affairs of the gymnasium
could be straightened out. It Is pre
sumed this has now been done.
There Is a possibility that the asso
elation may employ another director
In the near future, providing a sulta
ble man can be secured. Should this
be done the gymnasium work will be
continued as In the past. Otherwise
the class work will be dropped until
next fall.

bltullthlc but also upon all other
Classes or kinds of paving or macad-
mizlng that may be hereafter pro
posed. This company also makes a
10-year guaranty of Its pavement,
which Is an Item of importance.
The cost of preparation of the
streets for paving, Including clearing,
drainage, cement curbs, gutters, mac-
dam base, etc., is a much larger Item
of expense than the finished paving
Itself.
Illustration of Cheap Street h.
The streets of Pendleton as they
appear today is a fair Illustration of
cheap makeshifts of so-called econ
omical street Improvement. It Is Im
possible to estimate the enormous
sum of money the city of Pendleton
and property owners have spent in
Imperfect and Incomplete street Im
provement. '
The greater portion of the cltys
general fund Indebtedness today rep
resents cobble stone surfacing and
mud scraping. The "Golden cobble
stones on the streets of the New Je
rusalem" may present a more bril
liant and dazzling effect, but it . is
doubtful if they measure up more gold
than has been squandered without
adequate results upon Pendleton's
streets.
Must Have Permanent Improvements
We have reached a stage In our
progress as a city wnere permanent
and up-to-date Improvements must
be made. The problems of progress
and prosperity must be met and solv
ed by the citizens of Pendleton in a
careful, unprejudiced and unbiased
manner.
The best of schools, better moral
conditions, strict law enforcement,
clean, attractive and healthful streets,
sanitary residence conditions are of
incalculable interest at this present
time.
Other cities around and about us
with less advantages from a natural
standpoint are outstripping us In
population and wealth, simply because
they are making themselves more at
tractive and desirable as places to
live.
Comparative Cost of Paving.
The following figures show the cost
of Warren's Bros, bltullthlc paving
in a number of cities where the same
has been extensively laid, the price
being an average per square yard:
Glace Bay. Nova Scotia JZ.68
Portland, Me 2-25
lirookllne Mass 2.50
Boston. Mass 2.50
Portland. Ore 2.10
Walla Walla, Wash 2.17
Pendleton. Ore. (estimated).... 2.15
The estimates received on asphalt
paving are approximately the same as
those of bitulithic while estimates on
vitrified brick paMlng are consldera
bly higher. On the so-called Victor
bituminous macadam represented by
the Barber Asphalt company, we have
recieved no estimates except a gen
eral statement that the company
could Bave money for the city and
property owners and that their pav
Ing is practically the same as bltu
llthlc.
The representatives of the company
have ont seen fit to point out any
cities in the United States where their
pavement Is In use and from which
the committee might procure reports
on the merits of that particular pave
ment. The committee does not feel
disposed to experiment on new and
untried paving preparations.
Old Style Streets Are Costly,
It is conceded by those favoring
macadam for the business portions of
Main and Court streets that a proper
base must be laid and provisions made
for surface drainage. It Is proposed
by some that a four-foot gutter laid
on cement base with cement curb be
provided on each side of these streets,
When the Items of surface drainage
and six-Inch base of crushed rock and
preparation of sub-grade are, estimat
ed, and which foundation work, under
one plan or another, must be consld
ered whatever the paving used, It may
be safely estimated that the bltullthlc
or other permanent pavement will not
exceed the cost of macadam as much
as 40 per cent. And after the mac
adam Is laid the same old system of
board crosswalks muBt be maintain
ed.

Walla Walla Pioneer Drowned.
Benjamin Geaney, for 4 2 years a
farmer In the Walla Walla valley, was
found dead yesterday morning In Dry
creek about six miles north of Walla
Walla, says the Statesman. The body
was discovered by two sons of the de
ceased, and Deputy Coroner J. J.
Huffman was notified. In company
with J. W. Cookerly, the undertaker,
Mr. Huffman went to the Geaney
farm, and after ascertaining the cir
cumstances decided not to hold an
inquest. He Is of the opinion that the
aged man accidentally fell Into the
creek and, owing to his extreme old
age, was unable to get out of the
stream.

A Valuable Agent.
The glycerine employed; In Dr. Pletre's
medicines greatly enhances tho medi
cinal prnHrt!fs which it extracts and
holds In solution much better than alco
hol would. It also possesses medicinal
properties of its own, being a valuable
demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic and antl
ferment. It adds greatly to the efficacy
of the Black Cherrybnrk, Golden Seal
root. Stone root and Queen's root, con
tained In "Golden Medical Discovery " In
subduing chronic, or lingering coughs,
bronchial,' throat and lung affections,
for all of which these agents are reoora
mended by standard medical authorities.
In all cases where there is a wasting
away of flesh, loss of appetite, with
weak stomach, as in the early stages of
consumption, there can be no doubt that
glvcerlne acts as a valuuMc nutritive und
aids tho Golden Seal root. Stone root,
Queen's root and Black Cherry trk In
promoting digestion and building up the
flesh and strength, controlling the cough
und bringing about a healthy condition
of the whole system. Of course, It must
not be expected to work miracles. It will
not cure consumption except In Its earlier
stages. It will cure very severe, obstin
ate, chronic coughs, bronchial and laryn
geal troubles, and chronic sore throat
with hoarseness. In acute coughs It Is
not so effective. It Is In the lingering
conghs, or those of long standing, even
when accompanied by bleeding from
lungs, that It has performed Its most
marvelous cures. Send for and read the
