A big project is that just laun ched by the Deschutes Itimrock Power Company, which plans the expenditure of 89,000,000 in (level oping electric energy on the Lower Deschutes acid operating pump ing plaDts with It to lift water on to the semi-arid lands lying near the ' Columbia river. This con. cern. capitalized for 1,000,000, j has interested English canitalists in tho plan and British money will be available within 90 days to start the work. It is expected to be irrigating 15,000 acres within 18 months and more land will proba bly be added later. This is thought to be the biggest investment of foreign capital ever made in the Pacific Northwest, exclusive of the transcontinental railroads. It is also the greatest individual power nroiect in the Pacific Northwest. But it is nevertheless essentially an irriga tion scheme, which can be carried out only by pumping water from one river onto thirstv lands through the power furnished by the Bwiftly flowing waters of anoth er stream. The company just formed will harness the Deschutes near its mouth and the project con templates the development of a maximum of 140,000 horsepower.

As provided by Act of Congrefs, ap proved August 19, 1911, entitled "An act granting leaves of absence to certain homesteaders," settlers are relieved of the necessity of residence and eulti vation upon their lands from August 19, 1911, until April 15, 1912. It will not be necessary to file application for such leave, but the time of actual absence during the period named shall not be deducted from the full time of residence required by law. At a special communication of Heppner Lodge No. 69, A. F. & M., held in their Temple on the Sth day of September, 1911, the following resolutions were unani mously adopted : Whereas, It has pleased the Great Architect of the Universe to remove from our midst our be- oved brother, Charles S. Kirk, and Whereas, That it is but just that fitting recognition of his name and verities should be had. There fore be it Resolved, By Heppner Lodge No. 69, A. F. & A. M., that while we bow in humble submission to the w ill of that One before whom all Masons bend their knees in reverence, we do not the less mourn for our Brother who has been taken from us.' His labors are ended here below but we trust he hae entered upon the higher and nobler life, which can only be reached through the portals of death. Resolved, That thece resolutions be spread upon the records of Heppner Lodge No. 69, A. F. & A M. and a copy thereof be trans mitted to the family of our deceas. ed brother and to each of the news papers of Heppner. P. O. Borg, . Fkaxk Gilliam, H. A. Emeksox, Committee. "Use the road dreg now." says Prof. E. F. Ayers, highway construction ex pert of the Oregon Agricultural College. "These heavy rains, thoroughly wetting down the roads, have made ideal con ditions for the use of the drag before the heavy weather begins. All pot holes, ruud-holesi and other irregularis ties can be leveled and the surface of the roads put into first class condition by using the drag two or three times before the roads get too soft. 'The use of the drag, moreover, at this time for crowning the roads will aid drainage and keep in good condition many roads which were very poor last year. The expense of nsing a road drag is slight, and a much wider use of it throughout the state would be very favorable. There is no better way to keep a dirt road in good condition than dragging it frequently." School Notes. Ton can't get too many chickens. We'll get rid of them for yoa at top prices. Minor & Co.

'Well it was too long anyway" whs the laconic remark of Wra. Wilson after having the end of the second finger of his right hand pinched off between a rope and a pully at the flouring mill on Sat urday. He was assisting in the work of hoisting sacks of wheat, which act is performed by the use of "tong3," rope and pully. Ha took bold of the rope after adjust ing a sack, and before he fuliy re alized what was doing, his fiiger was caught between the rope audi pully and oil" went about an inch of that member. "Uncle" Willie was very little disturbed over (La accident and quietly walked over to the doctor's ofiice, had the injury dressed, and gets consolation out of the fact that the finger is now no longer than the others on th game hand.
