OREGON IRRIGATION.
Of all the projects conceived
. by the government it is probable
V that of irrigation is of the great
est importance to Oregon.
Thousaiads upon thousands of
acres thj&t are now naught but a
desert Waste are to be reclaimed.
The work is already well in hand
- and ere many years where now
i3 to be found only sagebrush we
shall find fertile fields.
Few, will deny that aside from
the construction" of the Panama
canal the irrigation project is the
- greatest undertaken by our gov
ernment within the. last forty
years.. The irrigation or reclam-
" ation fund amounts to 28 million
; dollars and provision is made for
its increase at the rate of 4 mil
lion dollars per annum.''
The first great work : of re
. clamatipn is completed. ' It is. in

he was going to take a trip into

he either met with an accident or
committed suicide in some lonelv

search has failed to bring to light
any evidence corroborating this
theory. There is a bare possibil

searching for the Chinese who
posted the $225 bail fcr the ac
cused gamblers last Saturda
night. This money was in gold
coin, and on investigation the
coins were found to have been
sweated. There is evidence in
possession of Detectives Murphv,
Welsh and Jones which will
surely lead to arrest of suspected
parties.
City detectives have a clew to
a gold-sweating oufit undei
operation by two white men
This "plant" has not been lo
cated, but enough evidence is in
the hands ot the police to prove
that others than Chinese have
recently been engaged in the
dangerous gold-sweating trade.
Detective . Welsh said this
morniug he was positive a
wholesole gold coin denuding
outfit was in existence , in Port
land, but that efforts in detecting
the criminals might be for a
time defeated, owing to the pub
lished accounts of Chinese "find."
"There have been so many re
ports of lightweight gold coin
that I cannot charge all the
operations to the Chinese of
Second street, but the fact re
mains that not a $10, $20 or $5
gold piece comes into circulation
through the agency of Chinese
crooked men that has not been
sweated of some of its value.

RepubUcan Candidate for United States Senator.
CHAMPION OF STATEMENT ONE.
Jonathan Bourne, Jr., candidate before the Republican primaries for the nomi
nation of United States Senaior in Congress, for the long term commencing Ma-ch
4, 1907, was born in New Bedford, Mass , February 23, 1855; was a member of the
i-lasscf 1877 at Harvard University; came to Portland May 16, 1878; waa a Republi
can member of the Oregon Legislature in the session of 1885 and the extra session
of 188(5; was one of Oregon's delegates to the Republican National Convention of
1888 and Oregon's member ot the Republican National Committee from 1888 Jo 1892,
and a delegate to tue Republican National Convention of 1892; and was elected as
a Mitchell Republican to the Oregon Legislature iu 189t.
Mr. Bourne has been more prominently identified with the development of the
mineral resources of Oregon than any other man in the state, having expended in
the last 20 years over $1,000,000 of his own money in the acquisition and develop
ment of Oregon mines.
While Mr. Bourne has had his residence and main office at Portland since
1878, he has had another office at New Bedford, Mass., and has carried on the busi
ness of his father's estate -since 1389, which makes him familiar with many of the
large interests and leading men iu the East. These qualifications, in conjunction
with his tremendous energy, originality, executive ability and experience in busi
ness and political affairs pre-eminently qualify him for making an aDle and influ
ential Senator for the state of Oregon.
Mr. Bourne has always favored extending the direct power of the people over
their government as tar as possible. He was one of the leading spirits in the
Initiative and Referendum movement from 1896 until it was approved by the
voters at the June election in 1902. In 1904 he was a member of the executive
committee of the Direct Primary Xominations Leagtie, and holds the same position
with the People's Power League at this time. In all these movements he has oeen
one of the few to guarantee the necessary expenses of preparing and proposing
their measures to the people.
He says that the choice of United States Senator should be by direct vote of
the people and that the Legislature should be compelled to elect the man the
people select. To accomplish this result, he is championing Statement No. 1 of the
primary election law as the only method by which public opinion may be crystal
lized and made effective upon the Legislature.
In his petition for nomination he says :
"If I am nominated and elected I will, during my term of
office, favor:

Am. nding National Constitution for People's Election of
