A section of the Umatilla Irrigation project's main feed canal , about 75 feet In length, washed out a mile west of Echo Sunday morning and the water Is now shut off from the res ervoir although the reservoir Is now over half full and the break will in no way Interfere with the program of turning water from the reservoir onto the land of the project next Wednes day as planned by the government. The break In the canal bank was caused by seepage through the porous soil and for several months the gov ernment had been planning on ce menting the canal at that point for perhaps a mile or more. The canal at that place runs close to the O. R. & X. railroad track and the seepage has also softened the track and caus ed the railroad company much trou ble. ' FBJ The break occurred close to the ce ment waste gate and while It did not wash away any of the railroad grade, it weakened the rack and trains now run very slowly over the place. The government engineers have de termined to cement a section of the canal at that place and work will be gin at once on the repairs. It is esti mated that It will cost about $21,000 to cement a section long enough to prevent danger to the tracks and a force of men will begin on it at once. The water will be shut off from the reservoir into the distributing canals on Wednesday and the supply la the reservoir will be used In irrigating the crops under the ditches.

It wants us to believe that it Is ne cessary for prosperity, but admits that Pendleton with the saloon has run a bonded lndebtness of $300,000 and still going up, while every place with out the saloon, and without the sa loon only a very few years, is cutting down its bonded indebtedness. Pen dleton with the saloon Is having 900 per cent more bankrupt 'sales and closing out sales than any place with out the saloon. Judge Hailey, while prosecuting at torney, declared that 85 per cent of crimes were-caused by the saloon, and the farmers pay this in taxes, but get nothing but drunken harvest hands In return which are not worth half their pay. Mr. Phelps has been heard to say that 90 per cent of crime here Is caused by the saloon. They talk about th.e well regulated saloons. The saloons of Pendleton have robbed more men, allowed more gambling. caused more log rolling and harbored more criminals than any other sa loons In the state outside of Portland. They are dealing Id wholesale lying right now. They declare through their 'central committee," whosoever that may be, that Oklahoma has gone wet when such a thing Is impossible. A little town called "Oklahoma" away back on the Columbia river having a few people, put in a saloon, but 'the state of Oklahoma has constitutional pro hibition which cannot allow any li quor sold or made In any way for 21 years. That constitution was adopt ed last year. Figures don't He unless you make them lie, but that Is just what is being done and any man who reasons at all can see that. Twenty-one good families are now counted by workers on the temper ance side who have recently passed by Pendleton because she is wet and her main 'street disgraced by more bad saloons than any other city of Its size in the United States. Butte, Montana, and Astoria are up with her but no good family would live in eith er place. Pendleton with 26 saloons, and she has had them right along, has 91 empty houses and some of these business houses. What would she have with 100 sa loons. Why should the saloon Imitate the central committee on the prohi bition side? That central committee has been issuing facts and figures for weeks in one of the newspapers, why should the saloon Imitate it and sign itself the same thing In another pa per? Why. should It get panicky when few envelopes are sent out donated to the "Central Committee" by a citi zen? Pendleton has lost far more already by having the saloon while so many good towns In the state have It not, as to more than make up for every thing lost by the saloon going to come buck no more forever. The saloon declares that the tem perance wave Is subsiding right In the face of both parties in Washing ton coming out for it when one. was offered nearly $1,000,000 by the saloon to come out otherwise, when places like Moscow and the state of Wiscon sin vote thre times as muny in favor of prohibition than one year ago, and everything in all the land indicates a sweeping victory for temperance. It wants to waste for that which is worse than nothing, which creates crime, poverty, .debauchery and hard times, 1300,00 a year right here, which money ought to go Into channels of healthy trade, and then booster funds could be. raised among the business men like the one raised In Eugene. It wants to bunch up the business men, thus causing a war between them and the farmers and diverting trade to Chicago and Walla Walla. It wants to force this quetslon into pol itics by leading monled men politically and break Into the peaceful conditions which now exist while this thin is kept out of politics. It wants to bring men here and has registered a lot of them already who have no more right to vote than a man direct from China, thus bringing on the possibility of mcrre cases for he farmers to pay the taxes for. It expects to vpte 100 illegal voters In the various precincts in the county, Including Pendleton, Echo, and Uma tilla. It will be mistaken. It expects the people to be forever overridden by by Its domineering and wholesale ly ing spirit. 4 It expects honest citizens Just to lay down and be ridden over by an cle ment which preys upon its prosperity and causes about all the trouble com mercially, politically and In crime and pauperism. So true Is all this that not a decent paper in the county will take up its tight and not a decent pa per in the state but is coming to the other side, both political parties and all well wishers are lining up for so briety, decency and prosperity.

This Is the way the Inland Empire league season was opened In Pendle ton and It was satisfactory to the crowd which was the largest one that that wltnesed a game this year. In the first Inning yesterday two runs were scored by Pendleton, Parkes and Conrad being brought home by a long drive which Tracey Baker sent over center field. In the second in ning two more scores were added to the list when Munson and King came home. Meanwhile Walla Walla was shut out completely until the fourth, but In that Inning the visitors rolled up three scores and in the fourth they brought home another, thus tying the game. In the seventh King went home on a fluke, the Walla Walla pitcher throwing the ball to third when the base fas vacant. In the eighth Wal la made their fifth score, tying the game again.- But while Pendleton wa at the bat In the eighth the fireworks ensued and the runs made were three. Walla Walla could not change the situation while they were at the bat In the ninth and the game closed eight to five. The following was yesterday's game In detail: Pendleton.

Cur ry county has been In the hands of the prohibitionists for the past two years and demijohns have been the order of the day and night. Whisky Is be ing shipped on almost every stage from both north and south and Is very easy to get. Those desiring saloons have again petitioned for an election and notices are now up calling for a resubmission of the question at the election in June. To be sure the friends of prohibi tion are many, and It Is a question with all the evidences against the ef fectiveness of prohibitory laws as they exist If the "wets" can muster the strength to return to the saloon. The prime mover In this action is Gold Beach, the county seat. The law as it stands affects the whole country, that is, it Is a county law, all pre cincts having decided to eschew the saloon. There Is little doubt that Gold Beach precinct will go wet. Wedder burn precinct will go dry. It Is ex pected that Port Orford will also vote against the saloon. It Is a very peculiar situation. The man who wants plenty of whisky and finds It easy to get, votes prohibition. The total abstainer votes for prohibi tion, for the reason that if he Is known to be a prohl he sees tittle of the demijohn and thinks the law pro hibits, excepting occasionally when the boys get beyond control at a dance. But the man who knows and understands and wants the sale of li quor properly controlled, he Is the one who will vote for the licensed saloon. Central Committee.
