LOCAL ANGLERS ARE
VERY MUCH ELATED
GRATEFUL TO HAWLET
AXT SEXATOR CHAMBER LAIX
Congressman From First District Se-
cures Prompt Action When Matter
of Wholesale Trout Destruction is
Presented to Him Senator Cham
berlain Also Acts.
There is great rejoicing among the
members of the Umatilla county
Anglers' association and all local dis
ciples of Isaac Walton in general,
over the prompt action Oregon's con
gressional degelation has taken to
stop the wholesale destruction of
trout on the reclamation project at
Hermiston. They feel especially
grateful to Congressman W. C. Haw
ley, who, despite the fact that he Is
representative from the first district
took the matter up as soon as the
case was presented to him by the lo
cal association and secured the order
from Secretary Ballinger directing the
engineer In charge pf the project to
screen the ditches.
In addition to the telegram receiv
ed Monday from Congressman Haw
ley, telling of the success of his ef
forts to prevent a recurrence of the
recent outrage. Attorney Charles H.
Carter has received a letter from Sen
ator George E. Chamberlain, In which
he says that he has been assured by
Secretary Ballinger that the intakes to
the big reservoir will be screened
without further delay.
The local anglers are the more elat
ed because H. D. Newell, the engi
neer in charge of the project at Her
miston, had flatly defied the easso
ation and the state authorities, de
claring that the ditch could not be
screened so as to conform to the re
quirements of the state law and that
he would not attempt It. He has
found, however, that the local fisher
men were in earnest In their demands.
This also means one less prosecu
tion which the state is preparing to
undertake, for if the government
complies with the requirements of the
state law it will not be necessary for
District Attorney Phelps to present
this case to the grand jury next week
for investigation.
Another case which will be elimi
nated is that against the Walters Mill,
ai Fred Walters, the proprietor has
signified his willingness to screen his
mill race. The cases against the By
ers mill, the Irrlgon Irrigation com
pany and the other ditch owners will
all be presented, however, and prose
cutions will probably be rushed as
rapidly as possible. Now that the lo
cal anglers and the state authorities
have determined to force a compli
ance of the law they do not propose
to be satisfied with any half victories.
Little offenders will be prosecuted as
well as big. Though the government
probably destroyed more trout than
all the other users ofjwater combined,
there will be no let up to the prose
cutions until the others comply with
the law also.
Self-Cleaning Screens.
To demonstrate that the screening
of all irrigation ditches with fine
mesh screens is possible and practical,
the local anglers association has on
display at the LaDow & Peterson store
on Main street, a self-cleaning screen
which is being used successfully In
southern Oregon. It is not a new
proposition for screens like . it has
been in use for several years and
have been found satisfactory wher
ever used. It will be remembered that
the contention of Engineer Newell and
the other violators of the law who put
up any defense of their attitude, was
that it would be impossible to keep
a fine screen clean. This one on dis
play here solves the difficult.

That the government will drain the
lakes which have formed on the gov
ernment project "and that it will use
much of the water thus accumulated
a second time, was the announcement
made here this morning by Mayor
Ross Newport of Hermiston.
Mayor Newport says steps have al
ready been taken to lower the water
In the largest of the lakes one foot
by means of a ditch. This will un
cover a large part or the ZOO acres
now under water. The remainder of
the water will be removed by means
of a pump and will be used in - re
claiming additional lands.
This large pump will be operated
by electricity, the power for which
will be generated at the "A.-C."
drop. By placing the power station
at that point it will not be necessary
to divert any o( the water intended
for irrigation purposes for the ope
ration of the power plant, for the
water will be used while en route to
the thirsty fields.
It was first feared that the water
In these lakes could not be used a
second time on account of the al
kali accumulated in Its percolations
through the sandy soil. It has been
demonstrated, however, that the wa
ter is free from alkali and that it can
be used a second time without evil
effects.
A New Years Reception. ' ' ,.-
The pastor and members . of the
Methodist Episcopal church will give
a New Years reception in the church
parlors tomorrow from 2:30 to 5, and
7:30 to 10 p. m. A literary and mu
sical program will be given beginning
at 8 p. m. A cordial invitation Is ex
tended to all friends of the church to
come at any time and remain as long
as possible. Strangers especially
urged to meet with and exchange
greetings.
Now Opera House for Hermiston. :
Hermiston is to have a handsome
new opera house. This was the de
claration made here this morning by
Mayor Boss Newport of the reclama
tion project town. The building Is to
be built of the same kind of stone
used in the new Methodist and Chris
tian churches in this city and will cost
about $6,000. It will adjoin the New
port & Skinner brick block and Is to
be greeted by the Newport Abstract
cempany. The plans for the build
ing have been nearly completed for
some time and the commencement
of the actual construction work has

there is a break In the present ex
tended cold spell.

The lovers of the good old time
melodies will be certainly well enter
tained next Monday night at the Ore
gon theater with the delightful tunes
of the old Southern Ballads of the
times "Befo' de War."- Culllgan &
Hockwald's minstrels has always been
a company especially selected by the
management for their singing quality.-
It has long been conceded that
no one can get the harmony and mu
sic out of those songs like the real
darkey. There Is also added to the
entertainment, plenty of good, clean
comedy, and some of the latest and
most popular ballads of the present
time. The show Is especially for la
dies and children. There is nothing
so entertaining as a good singing
show, and the management of the
colored minstrels certainly had that
in mind when he selected the pres
ent company. Prom the time the cur
tain goes up, there is always some
thing doing, either In singing their
old Southern Ballads, for which the
negro Is noted, or some of the latest
songs of the day with the entire com
pany singing the chorus. If you can
artord only one show this season,
don't miss thls one, the best of all
colored shows.

Cured of severe compound
cold and cough by
"From Dec. 20, '08, to March 1. '09,
I had three bad colds, one on top of the
other. I got so weak I could hardly
get around. Nothing seemed to help
me until I began to take Vlnol. The
change was magic Three bottles com
pletely fixed that compound cold and
stopped the terrible cough and what
surprises me most, at the same time
It cured me of a severe stomach trouble
that has bothered me for 20 Years.
Vlnol Is certainly a wonderful medicine."
Mr.Toppan is one of Lynn's most prominent and highly respected
merchants, whose word is as good as his bond. "
The reason Vinol is so successful in such cases is because it
contains the two most world-famed tonics the medicinal, streagth
ening, body-building elements of Cod Liver Oil and Tonic Iron.
