The Government, according to a late report, will undertake some ir rigation work in the near future in Oregon, notwithstanding the some what adverse conditions caused by conflicting interests and antagonis tic efforts. The first experiment will be made on the lands ajacent to Butter Creek, in Morrow and Uma tilla counties, the water being brought by a ditch about thirty miles long from the Umatilla river below Pendleton. The area that can thus be irrigated is not very ex tensive, as compered with some other areas under contemplation for irrigation purposes, but it is suffic ient, if enough water can be se cured, to add very largely to the agricultural and horticultural pro pv- /W V W > ducts of those counties. The land except in comparatively narrow We promptly obtain U. s. and strips along the creek bottom which sre irrigated from Butter Creek by the owners of the bottom lauds, and produce great crops of alfalfa and 3tnd model, sketch or photo of hiTMitirn for grain, hay, fruits, etc.—is thorough-1 fro# report onL pjtcr.‘ uMllty. For free book, ly arid;it is a fine sand, but when How m Secure r il* n n m ii i I M rade marks irrigated is exceedingly fertile, aDd will produce immense crops. It is estimated that about 200,000 acres can be reclaimed at a cost to the settlers or purchasers of $10 to $12 Opposite U. S.

As no more than ICO acres can be secured by one per son, the 200,000 acres will make 1250 farms, and as it is presumed the purchasers will nearly all be men of families, the reclamation of this tract, if we only count four per sons to each tract, will add 5000 people to the population of that lo cality—or, rather, will put 5000 self-sustainiug people on land where nobody lives, or can live, now. And, assuming again that the land can be sufficiently irrigated, it will be very cheap at $10, $12, or even $15 an acre. In three years after water is available it will be worth $40 or $50 an «ere, for it will produce very abundantly; exceedingly prolific will be its crops of hay, fruit and veg etables. Eash farmer can raise, within his own demesne, several head of cattle to turn off fat 'o the butcher each year; he can raise poultry in unlimited quantities; he can raise fruits, vegetables, melons, and all sorts of truck in great quan tities; in brief, he can live on the fat of the land and have a comfort able surplus every year. No failure of crops; no anxious fenr of drouth; tho winter always supplies the snows and rails to fill the reservoirs. At $25 an acre, a moderate price for this land, well irrigated a few years hence, the value of this one limited tract, now valueless, would be $5,000,000. Its products at only $5 au acre— though they might be worth twice that— would be $1,000, 000 annually. The only serious “ drawback" will be a lack of good water in summer. These are the actual possibilities, nay, the probabilities, with reference to that tract of land— always with the “ if" already mentioned. And this case illustrates and brings home to the people of Oregon, and espec ially of Portland, the vast import ance of the scheme and system of irrigation that the Government has taken up.—Telegram. Taxation ot corporations. One of the many important meas ures that failed to pass the Legisla- ture was tho bill introduced iu the House by Speaker Harris, for tho taxation of corporations. The Ohio law upon the same subject, which has proved eminently satisfactory in its results, was closely followed in drafting the bill, and provision was made for insuring a full and equitable appraisement of the prop erty of corporoations doing business in this state. As was to be expected, a storm of opposition met the proposed legis lation. Representatives und emis saries of a score of big corporations were on hand to fight the bill. The lobbyists of the railroads, the palace car companies, the telograph nnd telephone companies were working like beavers to protect the interests of these habitual tax dodgers. Their efforts were successful and the bill failed ' to pass the House, though Speaker Harris made a powerful argument in support of it. In the course of the debate be al luded to the fact that two years ago a similar bill was defeated, despite the strong popular demand for its passage, and he warned his oppon ents that all tboBe members who voted against it had been retired by their constituents to private life. The warning was unheeded but it may yet bear fruit. Legislators who undertake to make lawif for the cor porations rather ttian for the people will learn to regret it. The remedy lies in the hands of the people and they will apply it. Mr. Harris undoubtedly spoke truly when he declared that such a law as he proposed will eventually be enacted, for it rests upon the plain fundamental principle that corporations as well as individuals must bear their share of taxation.— Telegram. Suit Settled. Oekum Block Badly Gutted by Flames. Portland, Oreg. Mnrch 3, 1903.— Losses of more than three hundred thousand dollars’ worth of stock and property, resulted from a fire which, commencing in the Dekum building at 12:38 this morning, raged for three bouru with relent less fury, jeopardizing during every moment of that time the very heart of the business center, only giving way under the combined attack of the Fire Department. The greatest property loss is that unstained by the Dekum building itself, the entire seventh and eighth floors, covering nearly half a block, being destroyed, while the sixth floor was so completely gutted as*to necessitate its entire remo leling. It is estimated at this time that the damage will roach if not exceed $70,000. Lipman, Wolfe A C o , are the heaviest individual losers, their damage approximating $150,000, due altogether to tho flood of water poured into the upper stories in order to successfully battle with a fire that for a time bid defiance to human effort, intelligently directed — for never was the Portlaud Fire Department confronted with a more serious problem, nml never did Chief Campbell work his men to better advantage. That no lives were lost is consid ered remarkable, for people rushed frantically and delirously about, de termined to save papers and other valuables, and wore only prevented from taking chances that must have ended fatally by the energetic but necessary forco employed by the police. The only person injured was Lon Raison, engineer of No. 3, whose hand was badly and mashed. Reliable information bas been re ceived that the action of Thomas E. Ryan vs George Quigley has been settled. This was an action brought to re cover possession of the property formerly owned by The California Lumber Company, and now owned by Morris Brown, of San Francisco. The stipulation for the final settle ment, signed by E. B. Seabrook, as attorney for Plnintiff and C- F. Mc- Knight as attorney for Geo.Quigley and his principal. Morris Brown is now on file in the Circuit Court tor Coos county, Oregon. It is gratifying to learn that this suit has practically been settled, thus making it possible for the present leasee of Porter mill to ac quire title to the property. This makes it almost certain that this plant will run steady in the future, and it dispells all doubt that might have lingored in the minds of some as to whether the mill be perman ently run.— Mail. As early as 1G0G in England drunkeucss was made a statutory offeDse and punished by a fine or imprisonment io the stocks. This remained the law until 1872, when the licensing act of that year made it an offense punishable by a fine to be found drunk in any public place or on any licensed premises. Under the new licensing act passed last year by the British Parliament and operative since January 1 of this year, any one found drunk in any public place, public building or public vehicle may be arrested by any one. If, whenarraiged be fore a Magistrate, the offender is pronouced an habitual drunkard within the meaning of the net, the drunkard is informed that it will be an offense for him to obtain or at tempt to obtain at any club or li. censed premises auy intoxicating liquor for a period of three years. It will be illegal for him, eithor personally or by deputy, to buy a bottle of wine or spirits nt a gro cer’s shop. All licensed places are notified that if drink is supplied to this blacklisted drunkard, heavy fines will be inflicted on those who supply it. The conviction of a liquor-seller on charge of selling liquor to a drunken man, subjects him to punishment, and tlireo con victions may forfeit his license. The only resource for the habitual drunkard is to get drunk at borno and keep under domestic cover while he is drunk.— Orogouian. J. I. LAMB, Pres. NO 3ñ L/.HARLOCKER, Vice.Pres.
