TO OPEN VAST EMPIRE
State Will Campaign For Govern
ment Aid For Umatilla Irrigation
Project is Begun.
Portland. Dee. 19. (Special) A
state-wide campaign will be started
by commercial organizations or Ure
eon to eet recomiition from the Gov
ernment to which the state is enti
tled in the distribution of reclama
tion funds. This mo,ement will be
along the line adopted by the Pen
dleton Commercial association at its
recent meeting in indorsing the west
extension of the Umatilla project.
C. C. Chapman, secretary of the
Oregon Development league, who at
tended the Pendleton meeting, be
lieves the campaign will succeed.
He finds the prospects exceedingly
favorable for the president to make
the allotment to Oregon for the Uma
tilla Droiect. now that the people of
Pendleton and the surrounding coun
try have gone on record favoring the
extension.
Much Opposition.
"There was much opposition at the
Pendleton meeting," said Secretary
Chapman, "based on fears that it
would work a hardship on settlers
and land-owners of Umatilla county.
In spite of this opposition, the prop
osition was indorsed on its merits
and steps will be taken to secure rec
ognition of claims of setUers who
may feel themselves damaged. In
the face of this feeling of private
interests, Pendleton business men in
dorsed the extension, believing it
would be of benefit to Oregon.
"The extension will open up GO,
000 acres, sustaining a population
of from 20,000 to 50,000 people. The
land will be adapted to diversified
fanning, intensive agriculture and
fruit growing.
Individual Aid Asked.
"Commercial organizations of the
state will adopt resolutions railing
for Oregon ' fhare of reclamation
funds and now is the time for every
one to write to the president askir.g
for a fair apportionment. Six other
elates have had 3 SO per cent of their
contributions from the sale f land
returned to them for reclamation
work, while Oregon has had but IS
per cent. I cannot but think that

VALUABLE MARBLE DEPOSIT
Great Quantities Recently Discover
ed in Eastern Oregon.
Pendleton, Or., Dec. 19. Native
black marble in great quantities has
been discovered in Wallowa county.
This promises to be a valuable asset
of that section of the state. Pres
ent supplies of black marble come
from Belgium and Alaska and the
new find will undoubtedly supplant
the product of these two places,
since freight is such a big item in
the handling of this heavy stone.
If you are troubled with chronic
constipation,- the mild and gentle ef
fect of Chamberlain's Tablets makes
them especially suited to your cose.

"BEST, THE WORLD OVER "
McMinnville Publication Praises Dal
las Basket Bailers.
The college basketball team, com
posed of Messrs. Pettit, Culver,
Simpson, Brace and Miller, went to
Dallas Friday night and engaged
that professional team that traveled
all over the country a couple of
years ago plucking laurels from
every bush. They scarcely expected
a "look in" but were well pleased
at the end of the scrimmage to find
the score standing 16 to 51. There
is probably no better team the
world over than the one at Dallas.
