Development Association.
Portland, Okk., Feb. 18.
Work on tin; West Umatilla Irri
gation project will, in all proba
bility, be begun before Secretary
of the Interior Fisher retires from
office on March 4. Government
engineers have directed prelimi
nary work bo that construction
may bo commenced within the
next few weeks.
ThiH project will irrigate .'(), 000
acres alonK the Columbia River
in Umatilla and Morrow counties
and the Government will expend
$2,500,000 on the work. From
two to three years will be required
to water the land in this, unit.
More than the required per
cent of privately owned land in
the project has been pledged to
bear the expense of development,
Oregon will, in till probability,
make a strong- showing at this!
year's dry farming conjrress. j
The Immigration Commission has
taken the subject up with the
railroads and plans will be made
early in the year so that a com
plete exhibit may be prepared.
Work on the Willamette Pacific
Railroad, the projected line from
Kugene to Coos May and south
along the coast, is being rushed
and it is expected that trains will
be running from Eugene to Ma
pleton next Fall. It is thought
the line to the coast will be com
pleted early next Spring. Con
struction work is being pushed
along the Siuslaw westward.
Dales for Oregon Fairs next
Fall were fixed at a recent con
ference of the North Pacific Fair
Association. Opening days were
set as follows: Oregon State
Fair, September 20; Medford,
September 10; Roseburg, Sep
tember 15.
The Vale Chamber of Com
merce is taking care of the boys
of the city by allowing them the
use of its handsomely appointed
club rooms twice each week.
This is probably the first city in
the state to take the rising gen
eration into partnership in its
development work and is a move
that is certain to have good re
sults. The Pacific Fruit Association is
the latest organization formed to
encourage the best methods of
fruit growing, packing and mar
keting. The establishment of
uniform grades, distribution of
reliable market intelligence and
affiliation with central marketing
agencies are among the objects
aimed at. Fruit growers of West
ern Oregon are interested in the
association and its headquarters
are at Portland.
Having succeeded in its object
of settling the available land
about Fort Rock, Klamath coun
ty, the Loma Vista Homestead
ers' Association has changed its
name to the Loma Vista De
velopment Association. Here
after this organization will give
its attention to , developing its
territory. Two new members of
the Oregon Development League
that came in during the past
week were the Agness Commer
cial Club and the Pleasant Valley
Push Club.

We are glad that Rrother Pol
lard 'b Bister, who has been very
sick in Portland, was so much
improved that he could leave her
bed side and be with us again
last Sunday. He brought two
stirring messages, the morning
subject being "The Changeless
Christ." and in the evening,
"The Yearning Christ." Man
changes with environment and
accommodates himself to changed
conditions. We change our friend
ships. Old and dear friends go
on before us to the other country i
and new friends surround us. j
Today we may have high hopes
of earthly achievement; tomorrow
those hopes may be crushed. 1
Christ is the same yesterday, to-!
day and forever; "A friend that!
slicketh closer than a brother.".
Oh! Let us come into spiritual;
contact with Him; then our hope
will be "Anchored to that within
the vail, both sure and stead-'
fast." He is yearning for us
and "Would not that any should
perish but that all should come
to Him and live." Why not come
to Him without delay?
We were pleased to see so
many present to hear these earn
est messages presented in such
an attractive way. The special
music was greatly enjoyed.
Sunday School next Sunday at
10:00 a. m. Preaching service at
11:00 a. m. and 7:;J0 p. m. Let
every one be in their place and
every one do their best.

A SHETLAND PONY FREE
The Portland Union Stock Yards
Co. Donate a Pony for a Prize
in Juvenile Industrial Contest.
Every school boy and girl in
the state will be delighted to
know that they are going to have
an opportunity again this year to
win a Shetland pony at the State
Fair. The Portland Union Stock
Yards Company are giving the
pony and it will be a nice one.
Nothing in all the prize list at the
State Fair last year attracted
anything like the attention that
the Shetland ponies did.
This pony will be given to the
boy or girl who makes the best
exhibit of livestock at the State
Fair next fall. That exhibit must
consist of at least one trio or pen
of chickens or ducks, two pigs
and a sheep. The boys and girls
who compete for the pony will
have an opportunity to compete
for several other valuable prizes
also. In the poultry contest there
will be good prizes for the win
ning trio of each breed; J. M.
Garrison offers $5 cash to the boy
or girl making the largest and
best exhibit of poultry; the State
Poultry Association gives a fine
cup for the best pen of birds (one
male and four females) ; "Poultry
Life" also gives a fine cup for
which they can compete; Hauser
Bros, give an air gun to the child
raising the most poultry by June
1st; and the Northwest Poultry
Journal gives a year's subscrip
tion to every prize winner in the
poultry department; the boy who
fits and shows the best sheep will
get a good cash prize and the one
who does the best in the pig
feeding contest, feeding and ex
hibiting two pigs and furnishing
an account of same, showing cost,
profit, etc., will receive a liberal
prize which we will tell you all
about in another story, and in the
prize list which will soon be pub
lished. The total value of prizes
offered the children at the state
fair this year will be over $3,000.
Now boys and girls don't you
think it will pay you to try to
win this pony and some of the
other prizes above mentioned, all
of which you can compete for
while trying for the pony. Get
busy with your chickens, pigs,
lambs and gardens.

ELIMINATE EXPENSIVF
SHAFTING AND BELTING
The friction and transmission loss in belt and shaft
drive sometimes amounts to 50 per cent. By elimi
nating that dead loss your profits increase.
Individual electric motors do away with the shafting
entirely and practically eliminates belts. Every atom
of power goes directly to the machines.
CENTRAL STATION POWER
CUTS PRODUCTION COSTS
You pay only for the power used. Individual electric
motors enable you to use one machine without oper
ating your whole factory. One department can work
overtime without necessitating the expense of oper
ating the entire power plant.
A report from our power experts may put money in
your pocket. At any rate it costs you nothing. Tele
phone DALLAS 24 and ask for the New Business
Department.

WATCH TALKS.
Does your Watch receive proper attention?
Our friend, the Engineer, oils, cleans and looks after his
ponderous locomotive every few hours.
In the little, delicate watch there are wheels which make
more revolutions than those of the fastest train, and do it
day after day. Is it not reasonable that these little wheels
should be attended to occasionally? Let. me do it for you. I
will treat you right.-
