Thursday, December 28, - ..1911 Ol HOOK IS AVOKAIH.K. That the extension of the Umatilla irrigation project will be niaile is now practically certain. A commit tee of engineers has been appointed by the reclamation service, and they expect to hold a mooting in Ilennis ton in .lanuary and thoroughly go over the proposed work, and it is thought now that their report can not be other than favorable. Should this prove to lie the case, the work -ivill proceed without delay. It is also reported that the () -V. Jl. it X, ollieials have such informa tion as "leads them to understand the work of the extension will be made, ami as a result they are to abandon the ''oyote cut-off. Should the pro ject be completed the cut-oft would be impracticable and the railroad people as a rule know what they are doing. The extension has the unanimous endorsement of the Oregon delega tion in congress, and letters received this week from SenatorChamlieiiain Congressmen 1 law ley and Laft'erty, and Philip P. Wells, chief law ofheer of the reclamation service, are all very encouraging, and indicate little doubt on the part of the writers that the extension will be made. These letters were received by W. YV. Smead in acknowledgment of the receipt of the resolutions passed by the Hepp ner Commercial Club on Dec. 11th and published in these columns at that time. It is gratifying to the people of this county to feel assured that this work will be extended, and it cannot come any too soon The reclamation of our arid lands and the settlement thereon of a thrifty lot of home build ers will prove a great blessing to the entire state. This is bound to follow the putting of water in abundance on the north end of Morrow and Umatilla counties. with Astoria third and Eugene four th. This is according to the latest bulletin just Issued by the director of the 13th census. It will take a lot of boosting to put us over the line (or one million population by the time of taking the 14th census. HUNTED BY A WALRUS. Ths B.. Big Bull Got Quite Sociable fore He Wa Done For. In George Dorup's "A Tenderfoot With Pearv" a linen re an exciting In cldont of walrus bunting. I luring mid upon a herd of fifty walrus asleep on a pan "it was blowing some, and the choppy waves made the shooting look as If the guns bad spiral barrels." The ineffective target practice pnuhie ed these hair raising developments few seconds later: "Suddenly n giant bull rose out of the water just nlon side of Wesharkoikpsi. lie threw lr harpoon, but as the barb came off be might us well have heaved a lead pencil The walrus gave n derisive grunt, div ed, ni:d a second later shot out of the water on the other side, deluged us with liquid and came down ship hang on the gunwale or tue boat opposite me. "Bv this time Wesharlconnsl was high in the air nnd out for an altitude record. Instead of throwing his har poon he threw his soul into his yells and lust sunt In the brute's face. The other huskies were trying to back wa ter or hit him over the head with the oars, neariy siueswiping me auu iuci- I'autally short circuiting their cussing nt Wesharkoiipsl. the walrus and ev erything Is general. All this time the walrus was sitting alongside of me, asking if there were anv more at home like Weslinrkoupsl, It was easier to pull bis whiskers or smash his nius with my bst than shoot. If 1 held the gun to my shoul der the muzzle would stick beyond his betid, so, tiring from the bip, 1 gave him the entente cordiale." GETTING THE FACTS. And 1912 is a leap year. The Gazette extends to its readers the compliments of the season and wishes them a happy and prosperous 3Kew Year. Ileppncr merchants all report pood holiday trade anil the way t'hristinas troods disappeared from the shelves would indicate that the people had some money to spend. The new railroad from Vale west Hard, an extension of the Oregon fcliortlinc, will soon be an accom jdished fact, as all arrangements have been made to start construction. It is expected work will be continued throughout the winter months. The year just closing has not been fine of great prosperity for the people ff our county. Of this it is unnecess ary to speak, let it lias had its blessings and these arc sufficient to enuse us to take an optimistic view o: ihe future and prepare for the good things that will be ours to en j jy during the year l'Jl-.

Long experience as a consulting at torney has given Mr. Mooney a judi cial habit of mind. He never accepts the facts nt par value, but always leads those facts into the rear office and drops acid In their eyes. The oth er day a friend rushed in, warm and red. "Mooney," said the friend excitedly, "I've been insulted. TJiuks just met me and called me all sorts of names. We've bad trouble over that partition matter, you know. lie said 1 was a pettifogger nnd a thief and a scoun drel and a perjurer und a wire haired thug." "Urn:" said Mr. Mooney. sitting far ther down in his chair and looking at the speaker over bis glasses. "Cm! And what do you propose to do about it?" "What do I propose to do about it? wy, I was so astounded at the mo ment that 1 could make no reply at all. But. now that I have somewhat recovered myself. I have determined to go down to Ilinks' office and knock his block off. I'll beat him to a quiv ering froth." "Umi" said Mr. Mooney, slipping down a notch. "Urn! So would 1 if any one called me the names that links called you. But before you go suppose yon sit down with me for a moment" The indignant friend took a chair. "Now." said Mooney, dangling bis eyeglasses, "what are the facts in the case?" Cincinnati Times-Star. No Caste In Snores. The cause and cure of snoring con cern all classes, says the London Chronicle. We have record that both the bouse of lords and the workhouse have suffered from It. There was a former Duke of Norfolk who fell into the habit of sleeping audibly In the lords, and it happened that he was hard at It on one occasion when a bill concerning the parish of Great f-nor Ing. in Norfolk, came before the bouse. The roar of laughter with which thp bill's title was greeted awakened the duke and relieved his fellow peers. At the other end of the social scale we have the poor law commission minori ly's rommeudailcn of ihe inenh u workhouse master who divided tiie o!:! men at night so that the snorers nntl the deaf men siej;t in one ward ai.fi the re.-;: in atmllicr.
