Tho ballots, supplied by tho bond ing Iioiieo to which thu school di rector had contracted to sell the liond If the election panned, prevent ed two questions, ench of them divid ed In two sub-division so that votes were token under four heads. Question ono was, in effect: Shall the district purchaso tho Wiestorla Ite for 4&00? Question two: Shall a building bo erected on laid alto at a cost of $40.5007 Question three: Shall the district contract a bonded I Inriehf erfiipis of 14E00 for tha nur- chase of the site, and question four: Shall the district contract a bonded Indebtedness of $40,000 for Uie erec tion of a school house?

Tho voto apparently show ed llttlo difference In sentiment be tween tha site chosen and tho ques tion of the Issues luelf, both being turned down very decisively. According to tho terms of a con tract entered Into with a bonding house, which waa to take tho bonds had they been voted, say Clyde Mc Kay, of the school board, the election cont the district $500. This amount was paid for legal cervices and bal lots, and would havo Included the coat of the bonds, had an Issue been voted. The Judges of election were II. II. Ford, John Hlois and J. II. Shouse.

Devcrs Inspect Columbia Southern Project Today and Speak Here Tonight Big Job Starts at Once "Tho Tumalo project I going to bo rushed through. There will bo no hitches. Wo have tho money, tho plans nnd the enthusiasm, and I ex pect by the end of next summer that It will be completed." So spoke Governor West lait night regarding the old Columbia Southern Irrigation segregation, now known a the Tumalo project. Ho added that he personally will devote much atten tion to the matter, spending prob ably many week of thl summer on the ground, for tho Governor I mak ing a hobby of thl enterprise and will bend every effort to push It through to a speedy success. With Mr. West, who arrived at the Hotel Hend last night, are J. N. Teal, an attorney of Portland, recent ly a prominent candidate for tho of fice of secretary of the Interior and father of the Deschutes federal-state survey scheme; A. II. Dover, of Clos sctt St Devers, Portland, and O. Laur gaard, project engineer. All are In specting the segregation today, and thl evening will speak hero at a meeting to Ins held at the Star The air on Wall atreet at 8 o'clock. Wet In Kntliuilastic. Governor West wa most enthusi astic concerning tho outlook for the Tumalo lands. All the land board is now heartily In sympathy with the plan, and ita successful completion, he believes, will set an example that will bring prosperity not only to the settler dlrcttly affected, but will es tablish n most profitable confidence In all other Irrigation enterprises and prove a splendid boon to this phase of state development Mr. Teal, than whom there arc few better Informed men In Irrigation matters, together with tho Governor, had much to say concerning tho pe culiarly favorable outlook for the Tumalo enterprise. "Ono great feature," taid he, "Is that In this case there will be no ne cessity for selling land. Too often irrigation enterprises have been hope-' lowly tangled up because their back ers were obliged to peddlo the lands beforo the project was actually run ning." With the Tumalo project. Governor West stated explicitly that no land will be sold until all the ditches are completed. Ho added that so far a nit own opinion waa concerned, ho would be glad to eo the time limit for the return of tho state's loan lengthened, so long a Interest was paid, Inasmuch a tho money practi cally In use by bona fide settlers would tie doing tho state far more real good than If lying Idle In the treasury. Lniul Will He Popular. Already many applications for laud nre filed, nnd It Is expected by ho Gcvermr that every aero can be sold several times over when the timo come. Mr. Teal outlined the nmiy advan tages that the state would have In conducting tho enterprise, as opposed to private corporation.

When asked what hapened to tho proposed enlargement of tho Tuma lo project and federal cooperation. Governor West said that the schomo. had simply died. May lie Knlargcri Later. "There Is no reason why It should not be takon up later," he added. "We shall simply complete a work: that can bo made a unit of a far larger undertaking. Whatever the ul timate size, the dams and dltche we shall make now would be of tho name, character. I really believe that when thl proves a success, and all tho acreage is occupied by prosperoua ranchers, the government easily cart be induced to take a hand in enlarg ing the scope of the work." In this view Mr. Teal coincided. In discussing tho Deschutes sur vey, which already is under way In Ita preliminary stages, Mr. Teal ex pressed himself of the belief that It was the first step toward tho ultimate utilization of every possible bit oC water and power from the Deschutes. "And this will mean that somo day Central Oregon will contain tho greatest Irrigation enterprises in America," he added. Jllg Payroll Tills Hummer.

"Next year thero will he up to 350 men. We will use every man and every horse In the country that want work Ita a chance for the settlers first." Mr. Laurgaard added that all tho materials for the big reservoir dam will be freighted from Bend, and practically all the equipment, except light otuff that will be handled from Deschutes. A llend I but ten miles from the dam site. It Is anticipated that with tho heavy freighting from here, and tho big lalior market that the work will develop, with Its re sulting patronage of the nearest com munity, this town will receive very great direct boneflts from the con struction activities.
