Irritation Along Butter Creek.
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

hunters.
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.
