DEVIN, Prop. Washington, Dec. 19. Notwithstaod ing the fact that Oregon Las contributed more to the National irrigation fund than any other state in the Union, it is perfectly evident from the explanation made today by Chief Engineer F. II Newell, of the reclamation service, in a hearing before the irrigation committees of Congress, that no part of this great fund is to be spent for actual construe uon worK in uregon lor at least one year, and perhaps for several years to come. In fact, Mr. Newell specifically called attention to the fact that the pre liminary examinations made by the en gineers of his service showed that the states which have contributed the larg est amounts to the irrigation fund are the least in need of Government aid in reclaiming their arid lands. Mr. Newell stated that the work that has been done in Oregon is far from com plete. The information gathered latt Summer gives no definite idea of tl e possibilities of the several projects ex amined, and further surveys will b6 necessary before it rill be possible to determine definitely what one of the sev eral projects is best. The preliminary examinatisns lead him to believe that the Umatilla project is superior to either the Silvies River or the Deschutes, so far as it has been explored, but he is not! yet satisfied that the Umatilla project should be taken up by the Government More data are needed, and will be gath ered next Summer. Until further r.'e- tails are available and more thorough surveys have been completed, the de partment will not feel justified in author izing the construction of aoy project in Eastern Oregon. A similar c mditionjexistsin Washing ton, althongh in the opinion of Mr. New ell that state will probably not see any of its lands brought under Government irrigation canals in the immediate fu ture. Eastern Washington, he says presents an opportunity for undertaking one of the most gigantic irrigation schemes ever known. The Big Bend country contains between 1,000,000 and 2,000,000 acres of land that can be brought under irrigation canals, but tbe cost of constructing such a system would be second only to the costjof construct ing the Panama Canal. To reclaim the Big Bend country would require a tun nel and cuts 30 miles in length. In view of the cost of such a work, Mr. Newell says it must be left to future generations. mor and genuine pathos. The proceeds are to be given to Mrs. W. M. Ilagnewood, whose husband died a few weeks ago leaving her alone in this world with 10 children to sup port. The entire family, mother and children are down with typhoid fever and help at thte time will be most high ly appreciated, not onlv by the family but the people of lone also. The people of Heppner should turn out and fill the hall to its utmost ca pacity. The cast includes the best people of lone, and hard work has been spent on the play. A stage manager was secured to drill the characters , and those who saw the play as produced in lone have nothing but words of praise to say for it. IHattons Elect Olllcers.

OREGON Eight of the energetic young people of lone have, during the past month put in forae faithful work on a play which was put on last Saturday night in the lone opera house, end was so successfully rendered and proved to be the best entertainment 'of the kind ever seen in this section, that the citi zens of lone have urged the people to reproduce the play in Heppner and Ar lington for charitable purposes. They have consented to do this and will ap pear at Roberts' hall next Tuesday night in the play "Hazal Adam?," which abounds in keen wit, bright hu- The matter of feed is of tremendous importance to the farmer.

The recital given by Miss Bertha Mat lock, assisted by Mr. Zan, the famous baritone, at Roberts' hall, last Thurs day evening, was undoubtedly the best entertainment of the kind "ever given in Heppner, especially if weighed by pub lic opinion and applause given by the large audience in attendance. Miss Bertha Matlock, while a very young lady, is certainly gifted with rare ability, and that her splendid efforts were fully appreciated, was made known by the numerous encores and continued applause throughout the en tire evening. Heppner people are appreciative and are always willingto give credit to de serving people, but this time they were a little surprised, and it is unnecessary to mention that they were delighted to witness the unusual ability and pleas ing appearance of Miss Matlock. In every appearance, Miss Matlock showed the result of most careful and thorough training, coupled with unusual natural ability. The selection of subjects for recital while difficult, were presented in such a manner as to impress the audience with great force. In fact, it hardly seems possible that so much could be made out of reading. Miss Matlock made every thought real. The facial expression and the true interpretation of her subjects would carry the audience at will. With a repetition of tbe same pro gram, Miss Matlock could again get a bigger house than she had before. The Gazette is pleased to say that this talented young lmly was a former Heppner girl, and Heppner may well feel proud of her. Mr. Zan, leader of the Cathedral ciioir of Portland, who assisted in the entertainment has a very fine voice, and Heppner people were highly pleased with his selections. Ilea tli of a I'ioncer.
