OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
CO-OPERATIVE IRRIGATION.
Baker
County Farmers Don t Need
Outside Capital.
Baker City Baker county has more
co-operative irrigation projects than
any other county in Oregon. There
are no large ditch systems, the farm
ers being banded together in small
groups, and co-operating in building of
inexpensive ditches and in the division
of the water therefrom. Very much
the same conditions as to the ease with
which water is utilized for irrigation
prevail in Eagle and Pine valleys
where a superabundance of water flows
from the mountain gorges which has
in it power enough to run the machin
ery of a small empire. The Lower
Powder has several systems which
have been expensive, built by private
farmers and corporations, and which
irrigate tracts of alfalfa land. In
Burnt River valley are a number of
private ditch companies irrigating bot
tom and foothlil land, which produce
good results but which are compara
tively inexpensive.
The largest irrigation system in
Baker county is that which covers the
bench lands on the east side of Baker
valley, beginning about eight miles
above Baker City and extending in a
northerly direction and terminating at
present about five miles northeast of
the city with the probability of it
being extended later and covering the
whole east side of the valley. This
canal has been built at a large expense,
having been cut of solid rock for a con
siderable distance along the mountain
side. In a distance of 28 miles of
canal there has been used only about
400 feet of flume, and the work is of a
much more substantial nature than is
ordinarily used in private irrigation
works. '
FAIR TO BE BETTER.

Gresham Makes Improvements in
Buildings for Coming Display.
Gresham Multnomah county's fair
promises to be the equal this year of
the two preceding ones. About $2,000
worth of the treasury stock has been
sold since the last fair, which has cre
ated an ample fund for making im
provements. The sum of $500 is avail
able out of the state appropriation for
premiums on exhibits this year, which
sum will be increased by the gate re
ceipts and the money from sale of con
cessions. A large force of men are at work on
the new stock buildings and out-of-doors
pavilion. It is intended to use
the main exhibit building for no other
purpose after this than to house the
displays of agriculture, horticulture
and art, together with exhibits of bus
iness houses. The new building will
be used as an auditorium and dance
hall and other public functions.
The rew stock pens will be ample
and commodious and permanent, those
of last year having been torn down. A
04W fence will be built around the
grounds and suitable booths will be
erected for small concessions.
Phones to Sound Fire Alarm.
McMinnville This city is installing
the latest standard fire alarm system.
The apparatus, purchased from a New
York firm, is being placed in position
and the city council will be asked to
district the city into 'eight fire wards,
or districts, to conform to the require
ments of the new system. tAn electric
bell striking machine will be connected
with the automatic transmitter, which
will be installed in the office of the
McMinnville Local & Long Distance
Telephone company, and thus, for the
present, each public or private tele
phone belonging to that company in the
city will serve to transmit an alarm of
fire instead of the rtgular automatic
fire alarm boxes.

Bohemian Colony Coming.
Klamath Falls Unless some unfor
seen obstacle arises there will be lo
cated in the southern portion of the
Klamath basin one of the largest Bo
hemian colonies ever established in any
state. Sixty representatives of the
colony have spent several days going
over the 3,000 acres of land on which
options have been secured. The colony
is in the form of a club and consists of
approximately 500 families. Officials
of the club visited this section several
weeks ago and secured options on the
large Lakeside tract.
The 60 members who have been here
for several days are a final committee
to pass on the land. If they recommend
the acceptance of the land the settling
up of this large area will be begun at
once.
Postal Receipts Gain.
CorvalliB The postal receipts of this
city for the quarter ending September
30 shows a gain of 16.2 per cent over
the receipts for the correaponding'quar-
ter of 1908. The gain for the quarter
ending September 30, 1908 over that
of the year previous was 23 per cent.
The falling off in the percentage of
gam this year id attributed to the fact
that O. A. C. began its work a little
later this fall. The receipts for the
quarter just ended were $3,512.82.
Odd Fellows to Spend $5,000
Condon The Odd Fellows have be
gun excavating for their new two-story
brick building on Spring street. The
building will be 30x100 feet, and will
cost $5,000. The order expects to be
able to occupy its new quarters about
January 1.

A gang of nearly 100 men are now at
work on the new structure. The
bridge is going to be one of the longest
bridges in the country, being nearly
400 feet crossing the river, with a tres
tle of some 2,000 feet on the west ap
proach to the bridge. The bridge will
cost in the neighborhood of $100,000.

Director Durand Hopes to Save Sev
eral Hundred Thousand Dollars.
Washington, Oct. 11. U. S. Census
Direcotr Dana E. Durand hopes to save
several hundred thouaand dollars in
taking the census of agriculture and
also to increase the accuracy of the
statistics.
The director stated today that at the
census 01 1900 tbe agricultural aata
were handled by means of punched
cadrs. For each farm a large number
of cards had to be punched, as the
number of facts recorded regarding a
farm was far greater than the number
of facts required regarding an individ
ual in the population census.
Director Durand said tbe statistics
of population and of agriculture are
collected by a different force from that
employed in gathering the statistics
of manuafcturea. The population and
agricultural data are secured by enum
erators of whom there will be about
65,000 at the present census, they in
turn being appointed by the supervis
or3, of whom there are about 330. The
difficulty of securing competent and
faithful enumerators is very great.
The length of service is very short, 15
days in the cities and 30 days in the
country districts. The pay is small,
averaging perhaps three dollars per
day in the country districts and a trifle
more in the cities, practically the pay
of ordniary mechanics. Not only,
therefore, are most of those who seek
to be neumerators able to command
only moderate pay in their occupa
tions, but many of them are men who
can not command regular employment
and who are looking for odd jobs.
The director hopes that a consider
able number of the eolleegsand univer-
sities of the country'may see fit to give
leave of absence to their students for
the short time required to do this work
of enumeration. The college student is
a very useful enumerator in some
cases, but it is exceedingly desirable
that enumerators should actually live
in the distritsc where they work, and
tnere are multitudes of districts where
no college students reside or where such
students are in institutions hundreds or
thousands of miles from their homes.
Another class who can render good ser
vice as enumerators are school teach
ers, but, with the enumeration taking
place in April and May instead of June
as formerly, few school teachers can be
spared from their duties to take the
census.

The Frenchman neared the rocks, was
on them, was up and clambering over the

and I could see Dupponceau quiver and

Rodney sat staring out of the window.
"Well." said he. "I don't believe I can
tither, though as a broker I see my duty
plain enough. I can't do It, I simply can
not do It."
We sat silent for some time, each, intent
on his own thoughts.
"Ought we to tell him that we know?"
Rodney said finally.
"I was wondering. Perhaps we should,
but I don't believe we can. When you
face him and lo into those clear black
eyes and hear that voice I doubt if there'll
be anything to do but keep your mouth
shut."
"l'et we must do something," objected
Rodney, "for I must be off for Xew York
In two hours from now, to try and
straighten out my losses."
"Suppose we go down and look at him,"
I suggested. "Possibly we can think of
something then.'
We went down-stairs and looked hi the

Charles rose and pulled a paper from
his pocket.
"Only a couple of minutes ago, Mr
Fein." he said, "he gave me this note for
you and told me not to disturb you but
to give it to you when you asked for
him.
I opened the paper and read It to Rod
ney. "My ship has come at last. I am go
ing on board. I can get there alone; no
one could help me. If you knew all, per
cuance you would not wish to help me

for the stairs.
and got him as far as the cabin door be
fore he collapsed on the boards.
Barbara disappeared, and then reap
peared with something in her arms.
"The chest I" I muttered. "He couldn't
forego that !"
I saw Barbara lift and steady Dupon
ceau on his feet, saw him clutch the box
with one hand, while he held a revolver
in tha other. He staggered across the
deck.
"Come on !" I breathed, and we were
off for the Ship.
The long-boat was half way in when a
new shout threatened to sound Dupon
ceau's death-knell. Men came out on the
cliff and stood high above him, ready to
Are down upon him. There was a ring
about him now enemies on the rocks, on
the cliff, and men already scrambling
through the water to lay their hands on
him.
"Look I" cried Rodney. I saw Barbara
whisper In Du ponceau's ear, saw him
straighten up to his full height and Bre
at the men above him. One bullet ripped
Into the cliff, another shattered an arm.
We stood now on the rocks, a stone's
throw off. Duponceau looked seaward
and gave a cry. With terrible effort, he
leaped to the farther rail, raised himself
to plunge the box still In his arms
into tbe sea, and sink or swim to help.
He balanced, crouched, and then a clear
report and he fell, a leg broken, down into
the waves. His stand was over, the fight
done; his enemies had taken him.
A couple of men lifted him from the
water and carried him to shore; another
man followed with the cheat. Rodney
and I drew near and looked at him; be
was conscious, and only his set teeth
showed the agony he suffered.
"It's over." he said. "The boat was
late." Then his eyes lighted on me. and
he tried to smile. "Good-by,M be mut
tered. "Take my good-by to her."
Carefully the men lifted him and car
ried him into the pines.
"He will live." said Rodney briefly, and
I nodded. It was not for Duponceau to
surrender easily, though I wondered If
now he would not prefer It so.
CHAPTER XXI.
The long-boat returned to the schoon
er, and in a quarter-hour tbe latter had
vanished as silently as she had come
Rodney and I went on board the Ship
and found Barbara sitting against the
broken mast, her eyes deep with unshed
toars of pity. We sat there and talked of
