The new Oregon is at hand.
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

Salem, Or., Dec. 14. 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.

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

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

and forwarded to the Secretary of tbe
Interior, and as soon as these are ap
proved by the department a meeting of

plete the incorporation, and to electa
boaid of directors and other necessary
