artist, but also , Columbini, a

EXCELLENT CLIMATE
Who would want a better or
more agreeable climate than we
have in Umatilla county?
We have no floods.
No cyclones.
No tornadoes.
No earthquakes.
No severe winters.
1 No hot summers.
I No twisters.
! No cloudbursts.
1 No blizzards.
No freeze-ups and sudden
thaws.
No drouths.
It is truly the Italy of the
United States. Of course we
have March winds some times.
But where is the -place on the
globe that dosn't have spring
winds?
Those who are wont to curse,
fume, fog and boil over because
a mild breeze wafts a few little
i insignificant sprinkles of sand in
their face should toughen up
in the tidal wave zone, or a few
nights rest under the foot of
Vesuvius and also a night or so
in Missouri where the mercury
stands at 100 at midnight wonl?
be excellent experience to begin
with.
The climatic conditions here
are unexcelled. There Is no
disputing this fact.

Announce III Intention of Applying
to Congress for Confirmatory
Legislation.
Spokane, Wash., Sept. 28. In a
speech on the conservation of nat
ural resources, delivered here today,
rreelUuut Taft declared that he
would ask Congress to authorize the
Issuance of 110,000,000 In bonds to
complete Irrigation projects already
begun In the West aud oa which
work has been stopped for lack of
funds. This has been the hope of
many settlers In the arid regions
who had taken up lands, anticipat
ing securing a supply of water to
make them fertile, and the Presi
dent's declaration was enthusiastic
ally chei'ied.
Mr. Taft broadly took the stand
that while the present Administra
tion Is pledged to follow out the pol
icies of Mr. Roosevelt, such a pledge
does not Involve him In any obliga
tion to carry out these policies with
out Congressional authorization. The
President added, however, that he
would take every step and exert
every . Influence upon Congress to
enact lobulation which shall best
subserve the purposes and require,
nients of the situation.
Mr. Taft declared today that Con
gress did not Intend that the Gov
ernment should undertake projects
which could not be currently paid
for out of the proceeds of the sales
of public lands, but added that he
haa been Impressed during his visit
to the West of the necessity for Im
mediate relief.
. . The President gave credit both
to Mr. Plnchot and to Mr. Balllnger.
He referred to the wonderful work
of Mr. Plnchot and said that while
that work had brought denunciation
at first It was now generally realized
that the reforms Inaugurated by Mr.
Plnchot were not only necessary but
should have been begun ten years
ago.
Hopes Plnchot Will Not Resign.
Salt Lake City, Sept. 26. As a re
sult of several long conferences with
the Chief Forester, Gilford Plnchot,
President Taft caused to be Issued
a statement. In which It Is declared
that never at any time during the
Balllngcr-Plnchot controversy has
the President intended to reflect no
on Plnchot.
Mr. Plnchot, before leaving for
Washington, also Issued a statement.
In which he makes public a portion
of President Taft's letter, written to
the Chief Forester at the time the
letter to Secretary Balllnger was dic
tated. The President said he hoped
Mr. Plnchot would not find reason
In the Balllnger letter for resigning.

HOUSES WANTED.
We need a dozen or twenty
residences in Stanfield at once.
Not a day goes by but parties
are wanting houses to rent.
Here is a good field for invest
ment in property that will not
only increase in value but pay
big interest while doing so.
STAY WITH IT.
Don-'t lose your grip stay
with it.
Get a hold after the fashion
of the bull dog, then hold fast.
You will win in the end.
Umatilla county has a future.
It is dormant at present.
The awakening has yet to
come.
It is yet only in its infancy.
Land where anything can be
grown is scarce and has long
been gobbled up. This kind of
land is sought Tor and iC is the
"nly kind that is worth while.
It will not be many years be
Tore this kind of land will be
worth $UHX per acre and then
it will be beyond your reach.
It will nut be long before this
irrigated land will be under cul
tivation then those who have
held fast will reap whnt they
have sown. Our rural villages
will then have to expand to
meet the impervious demand of
increased population.
Thus no one has to have
much of a foresight to see what
is in store for the future.
All tl at is required is a ten
uscious bull dog grip and a com
bined boosting spirit.
Keep a stilT upper lip.
Boost.
Push.
Don't knock. v
Say nothing and saw wood,
and always strive and work for
the goal a greater, bigger and
more prosperous community
around us. a
There's room for 200,000 peo
ple in and around Stanfield and
plenty of good soil to support a
million.
