In the annual report of the subcom mittee of the transportation committee of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, submitted yesterday, there is a trium phant note. No longer is this body of men compelled to enumerate long lists of railroads that ought to be built to un developed sections of the state, but on the other hand the bulk of the carefully prepared document is devoted to tabu lating the vast number of railroad pro jects that are now under way in the btate. "In the next two years," says the re port in a jubilsnt peroration, "within the bo ders of this state or immediately contiguous thereto, mil'ions of dollars will be spent in the building of rail roads, which in itself will give employ ment to many people, put a large amount ot money in circulation, open up new trritory for settlement and Da&ity Foods Demand!

Hiram Goddard, the LaCrosse, Wis., capitalist, who was swindled out of large sums of monev by Horace G. MeKinley, the land operator, is coming to Oregon to aid in the cap ture and prosecution of all who had a part in the deal. Recently a man who wa in some way connected with the transactions was arrested in Seattle, indtlie Sheriff ttlegraphed Goddard for instructions. Goddard replied that the arrest was made at the instance of Ore gon authorities. Since the crime com mitted was not against the State of Ore gon, nor any of its citizens, nor even within the state, this rep'y indicated a pisposition on the part of Goddard not to take an active part in the piosecu tion.

AT Independent and reUaMs-Tba Orefoa- w. nian. I T-McMUIaa, L.ingtoD, Oregon. Salem, Or., Dec. 16. The adoption of the direct-primary law has given Ore gon such a complicated system of elec tions that not even the accomplished politician can carry in his mind all the details of the proceedings leading up to the general election of state, district and county officers. One of the most diffi cult things to ascertain and remember is tbe dates upon which tbe various steps in the nomination and election of officers must be taken. In fact, the ordinary citizen cannot figure out the dates if be has the statute before him, for the language varies and different methods of computing time must be adopted. At the request of The Oregonian, Sec -etary of State Dunbar and Attorney General Crawford have examined the election laws and computed the time within which petitions must be filed, notices given and other business con ducted in preparation for the election. It will be seen that the campaign of 1906 really begins during tbe last week in December of this year, w hen initia tive petitions must be filed if the pro moters desire to file pamphlets in sup port of the proposed measures. The pamphlets must be brought to the of lice of Secretary of State Dunbar by De cember 30. If the promoters of meat- ures do not desire to file pamphlets, thev will have until February 3 to file petitions. It should also be explained that peti tions for nominations for district offices, uuh as Circuit Judge, District Attorney, joint Senator and joint Representative, mut be filed iu the office of the Secre tary ot State, and not in the offices of County Cleiks, and the dates governing nominations for sUte offices are appli cable. The following list contains all the dates of interest to the voter and he candid te for office : Registration Registration books opened by County Clerks, Tuesday, January '2. Registration books closed for primary election, April 10, 5 p. m. Registration books opened after pri mary election, April 25. Registration books closed for general election, May 15, 5 p. m.

JUEETlXtt AT ECHO. Steps Taken to Organize the ( ma. tllla water I'sers' Association. In compliance with the requirements of the Government, the citizens of Echo and vicinity interested in the East Uma tilla irrigation project, lately approved by the Secretary of the Interior, held an enthusiastic meeting at Echo, Monday, and preliminary steps taken toward tbe organization of the Umatilla River Wa ter Users' Association. Articles of in- incorporation were adopted and for warded to the Secretary of the Interior for approval. The following named persons, who were appointed by a mass meeting of the citizens held in this city, December 9, were the incorporators: H. T. Irvin, D. C. Brownell, Louis Scholl. Jr., A. C. Crawford, H. G. New port, L. A. Es'eb and J. F. McXaught. The capital stock of the incorporation was fixed at fiSJ.O X). John T. Whistler, Government cng' neer for Oregon, with headquarters 1 1 Port'and, was present at the meeting, and outlined the requirements of the G ivernment in the matter of the sur render ot the private land affected by the project. By-laws were also adopted and forwarded to the Secretary of tbe Interior, and as soon as these are ap proved by the department a meeting of the stockholders of the association wiil be called to meet in this city to com plete the incorporation, and to electa boaid of directors and other necessary officers. About 3l,000 acres of land are affectet, and will he reclaimed by this project. It is acknowledged by the Government to be the most feasible proposition in the United SU'es, and at no distant day w ill be the garden of Oregon.
