IRRIGATION PLANT
FOR HILLSBORO
WORK WILL BEGIN AT ONCE.
The Government Has Leasee! Fifteen
Aerea of the Stanton Form for
Experimental Purposes.
H. S. Stover, of Eugene, repre
senting the Irrigation Branch of the
United States Department ot Agri
culture, was in the city last week
and closed arrangements to estab
lish an irrigating plant in Hillsboro.
He has leased fifteen acres of the A.
N. Stanton farm, aj miles north
east of this city and will at once put
in a pumping outfit to supply the
necessary water. The purpose is
to experiment in the growing of all
kinds of grain, vegetables, fruits
and crops of all kinds, including
hay and alfalfa. All the expense
of building and running the station,
cultivating, caring for the grouud
and gathering the crops, and one
man to take charge of the plant
will be borne by the government,
and the object is to experiment with
the different kinds of seed grasses,
vegetables, etc., and demonstrate
what irrigation will do. There is a
plant at Eugene and another at Cor-
vallis, the latter of which is run in
connection with the Agricultural
College. To illustrate what irriga
tion will do here we will mention
that G. VV. Hines, of Buxton, this
fall gathered from a piece of land
ten feet square three sacks of fine
Burbank potatoes, each sack con
taining over two bushels. He irri
gated this patch of ground a an ex
periment and the result is a surprise
to him, thus showing that wonder
ful crops can be raised on irrigated
lanel in Washington county, and the
government is going into the exper
iment on quite a large scale. The
result will be watched with inter-
est.
Put Vp or Walk.
The fellows that have been riding
on free railroad passes will have to
walk after January I. The new
rate law makes it an offense punish
able by a fine of 2,ooo and option
al imprisonment for a railroad to
grant any one a free pass. The
railroads have been in the habit of
issuing every year more than one
hundred thousand annual passes,
mostly to the wealthy and influen
tial who needed them the least, to
say nothing of countless thousands
of trip passes. All this was merely
a form of bribery and was a corrupt
ing agency of the first power. It
has not been abolished any too soon
and the railroads themselves should
be most thankful, as they are the
chief beneficiaries and should be
thankful that the law reliever them
of this expensive incubus. Now
let them all put passenger fares
down to two cents a mile, sell un
limited mileage books for $20 a
thousand miles and they will make
more money than ever before.

George II. Himea Return.
George II. Himes, the historian,
returned Tuesday from an extended
trip in the eastern patt of the states
of Washington and Idaho, at Boise,
Walla Walla. LaGrande, Tendleton,
The Dalles and other points and col
lected 2900 pounds of old newspap
ers, dating back as far as i860 and
'62. Not all the files are' complete,
but there will be a wonderful fund
of matter from which may be drawn
material for historical work.
Mr. Himes is perhaps the best
posted man on the early history of
Oregon and the Pacific Northwest
in the country, and is doing more
than any other man to put in per
manent form the history of those-
early days. He is in love with his
work, is otie of the most genial lei
lows you ever met. is as keen on
the scent of a bit of ancient history
as a bloodhound on the trail of an
Alabama coon. If you have any
old relic of the "First Days in Ore
gon," or any reliable information of
the conditions and stirring events of
those early times you will confer a
oreat favnr iinnn Mr. Iiimes and
benefit to posterity by communica
ting with him in care ot the city

Simply Immense.
There were 217,341 miles of com
pleted railroads in the United States
at the end of 1905, according to tbe
figures compiled by Poor'a Manual
for 1906, of which the advance pages
have just been issued. This is a
net increase of railroad mileage in
1905 oi 4716 miles.
The capital stock represented
amounted to 136.741,955,825, ac
cording to the same authority, and
the bonded debt tol57.425.261.90i.
The total liabilities of the lines ag
gregate $16,292,880,828, against
$'5,495,504,650 in 1904.
The cost of the roads and their
equipment is figured at $12, 143,957,
551, against Jfu, 664,191,134 in the
previous year. The passengers
numbered 446.446,641, and they
were carried 23,906,420,668 miles.
Placed on the Roll.
The board of county commission
ers last week instructed County
Clerk Godman to place upon the
tax rolls the $300 exemptions al
lowed by the assessor and approved
by the board of equalization. As
sessor wilcox bad his rolls in course
of compilation at the time of tbe de
cision of the supreme court declar
ing unconstitutional the law allow
ing the exemption of $300 to each
householder, and passed the matter
to the equalization board, which al
so omitted the exemption. In view
of the opinion of the attorney-general
the commissioners' court has or
dered the exemptions added so as to
avoid any question.
. To the Circuit Coast
Azair Wharton, the Gipsey horse
trader who attempted to Aim flam a
son of Nicholas Monner, of Forest
Grove, in a horse trade, had his ex
amination before Justice Bagley in
this city last week and was bound
over to the circuit court in the sum
of $300. The boy, who was driv
ing his fathers team to town was ap
proached by the gypsy for a trade.
The boy informed the gypsy that
the horses belonged to his father
and he had no authority to dispose
of either, it was arranged, so it is
claimed, that an exchange of horses
should be made, and if Monner was
not satisfied he could have the horse
back on the next day. When the
boy informed his father a protest
was forthcoming and when a de
mand was made of the gypsy for a
return of the horse he claimed to
have sold it.
The Treasury Gratt.
Mr. George Steel, Oregon's State
Treasurer elect, is undoubtedly
highly gratified at learning that the
courts in Wisconsin have compelled
men who have held the office in
that state to disgorge something
like 1500,000, which they have re
ceived from the favored banks as in
terest on public money. Past State
Trearurers in Oregon have joyously
accepted this graft, but Uncle George
is an exception to the rule. He is
a farmer and a friend of the farmers,
for dia he not state during the pri
mary campaign that the "damned
banks" were tryine to down bim.
and unless the farmers came to his
assistance they would undoubtedly
succeed. Well, they came. From
the woods and plains; from the val
leys aud the hillsides, they rushed
to the polls in defense of the farmer's
candidate for State Treasurer, and
the schemes of the Portland bank
ers were blasted by the whirlwind
of reform. George was elected, and
the power of the money ring in Ore
gon was crushed. It is said that
the statute of limitations runs in
favor of our past treasurers, and
that they cannot be compelled to
disgorge. There is some talk of
legislation, whereby the State will
receive an income from its funds,
but with the farmer's candidate tri
umph and House Bill 104 banished
from the State House, legislation
looking to reform in the office of
the State Treasurer would be a work
of supererogation. George is the
real thing and needs no statutes to
compel him to honesty. -Oregon

MONEY FOR
RELIEF STOLEN
MENCY ON THE TRAIL.
Money Sent far California Earth.
sjuake Sufferers Stolen.. Roose
velt Orders Prosecution.
San Francisco, Nov. 15. New
and sensational features have come
to light in connection with the graft
investigation in this city. It is
earned on good authority that the
relief funds for the fire sufferers have
been looted to the extent of nearly
$1,000,000. So indignant was Pres
ident Roosevelt, on hearing of the
stealing of tbe funds contributed by
sympathic citizens of various states
for the relief of the uufortunates of
San Francisco, that he is reported
to have said that he would bring
the offenders lrom the uttermost
parts of the earth should they make
temporary escape.
During the first days following
the fire in San Francisco sympathic
citizens throughout the country for
warded relief moneys by postal or
ders and by enclosing scrip in enve
lopes and other packages. The
world not being acquainted with
the organizations of relief bodies in
the city, forwarded financial aid in
care of Mayor Schtnitz.
It is said amounts ranging from
50 cents upward into hundreds and
possibly thousands of dollars were
sent to the mayor and that a com
paratively small sum reached the
Red Cross or citizens' relief commit
tee as shown by the records. It is
estimated that the relief moneys
were forwarded through 10 ooo and
rjossiblv to.ooo postoffices of the
United States and also that consid'
erable sums came through the ex
press companies.
The interest of President Roosc'
velt and the federal authorities in
this affair has been so great that the
president 1.1 credited with the state
ment that the government will ex
pend $1,000,000 if necessary to un
earth and bring the criminals to
justice.
Over 100 of the most skilled op.
eratives of the secret service depart
ment have been at work among the
postoffices of the Union and in this
city tracing money orders and re
ceipts. The crime of forgery is said
to be included in the offenses of the
raiders of the relief contributions.
It is through the president's influ
ence that William J. Burns, one bf
the most expert and successful de
tectives itf the employ ol the govern
ment, is detailed to work iu San
Fiancisco. It was also through the
president that Francis J. Ileney,
who with Burns was engaged in
prosecuting important land fraud
cases of Oregon and California, was
detached from that work aud as
signed to the Ssn Francisco gralt
investigation.

Power Plant Gatea Wrecked.
A report comes from Forest
Grove that the power plant that
runs the electric system of that city
received considerable damage last
Friday and lights and power are
now run by the plant formerly
owned by the town. The flood
gates'of the dam on the Tualatin
river, eight miles from Forest
Grove were wrecked by the freshet,
caused by the downpour of rain
last w;ek. Whether the dam can
be repaired is doubtful The exact
amount of damage done is not yet
known. Some say a tree coming
down the creek caused the damage.
The lights are now being turned
on, but only at an immense cost, as
many cords of wood are required to
use the two engines.
