i NORTH CANAL AND Tl'MALO.
- Although llttlo has been ssild for
same months about the West plan
lor the completion of the North Canal
project interest In the subject has bf
no means died out, nor hope been
abandoned that It wltl be ultimately
ecrried through- This section has
done everything possible to Indicate
Its approval of the plan, oven to the
extent of Bonding over 30 delegates
to the Irrigation Congress to work
for It thoro.
When that was done our part was
over tor the time being, the noxt
step being the examination of tho
project by tho Reclamation Sen ice
as the preliminary to its decision on
co-operating In tho work. The ex
amination is now completed and tho
engineer's report Is In the bands jf
the Service. Public opinion cannot
influence Its Qndlngs and recommen
datlons. Facts on tho ground decldo
these, but If the report recommends
action every person In this region
hope and urges that the action bo
taken at once.
L On the Tumalo Project on the oth-,
or side of the Deschutes conditions
are different The state Is compleU
ing the first unit In a workmanlike
manner, thanks to the abilities of
Engineer Laurgaard, and will be
through this fall. A second unit has
Wen set aside for future work and
the general expectation has been that
the Reclamation Service would suit:
ply the funds for IL We understand
that tho project Is approved, that th$
funds are available at once. Tho
community wants thin work done as
much as It wants to see the North?
Canal finished. Will the Federal ofi
ficials take the desired action?
WHAT MAKgS WOOL PWCES?
'Speaking of wool Tho Saturday
Evuaing Pott says editorially:
nav wool Is free of duty under the
sew tariff. Naturally Importation-!
of wool have Increased since the aot
went, Into effect; but the price of wepl
In the United States Is higher than
It was a year ago, when the ariklo
was subject to a heavy duty.
The Journal of Commerce reports,
la fact, that In oaly two years out of
the last twenty-five have domestic
wool prices been higher than at pres
ent. Trade exports account for this
phenomenon 611 the ground that there
was an unusually extensive slaughter
of sheep a year and a half ago by
grpwers who expected that wool
ynkeo would drop out of sight under
the now tariff. If that theory is cor
rpt the new tariff automatically
cancelled Itsolf, 60 far as the present
effect on wool prices is concerned. We
all get exalted about polities some
times, and lose sight of the large fact
that, after all, legislation Is only ono
actor among twenty.
A GOOD AIlGUilBNT.
Although not intended as an ar.
gument for county division the fol
lowing from The Redmond Spokes
ina'n clearly indicates the diversity
of interests la tho different sections
of Crook county as well as suggest
ing the conditions this side of the
county must fact for the next two
years if division fails:
"It has been Intimated to The
Spokesman that the attendance
'tSt
the county fair at Prlffsvllle this!
will be much reduced, frpra "former
year's owing to the action that Coun
ty Ji(?ge Springer and Commissioner
ill
llrown took In turning down county
appropriations for fairs nt Redmond
nnd Bistort). And President Ulan
chard of tho county fair, who Is n
candidate for county commissioner,
comes In for a share of tho blnmo fof
the non granting of tho abovo fair
appropriation, according to itoino ro
ports."

(Continued from page 1.)
the compilation of a now set of fig
ures which have a striking bearing
on the tax situation In Crook -county.
Iast week's figures showed how tho
amount of taxes had inorcased s'nee
1907. This new set takes tho Crook
county tax for 1013 and compares It
with that paid In 11 other Oregon
counties In the same year. Valua
tlons are nlro compared, some run
ning above and somo below the Crook
valuation. In every case, however,
tho tax paid is smaller than Crook't.
That Is to say. II Oregon counties In
the year 1913 were able to conduct
their affairs for amounts far below
the Crook county cost, in somu cases
for as much as one third less.
Here Is the table

division committee said yeterdayr
"It Isn't a question of whs. It costs
to run Crook county. The question
Is 'What will It coat to run Deschutes
county?', and If these other Oregon
counties can be run ror snob small
amounts there Is no reason why we
cannot run Deschutes county Just ss
