ON MONDAY NIGHT'S MEETING
Aside from the undciirtandlng
reached at last night's meeting that
tho llurtt potato ranch nt Lower
Pridgo should finish tho season with
the five Jnpaneso whoso employment
has been made necesnry by the short
ago of farm labor, there were sev
eral matters of Interest brought out
in the discussion.
Ono of these Is so serious ns to do-
that Is tho only remaining irriga
tion possibility, calling foi such In
vestmouts ns; Vuro mentioned lasl
night. HnvlijB ucHor'oil lt( tho
only possibility for' tho llontinm full
project was by n government under
taking H is pncouraRJng t6 rcnllxo
Hint it has sufficient nttrnct'ldn to In
terest private capital."
Wo shall await developments with
great Interest.
FUR ANUOOTLHaaiNG.
While the profession atv bootleg
ging, which of "lato has developed to
a high degree, may bo thought. to bo,
n modern business brought into be
ing In Oregon by the state bone-dry
law, later reinforced by1 tho
eighteenth amendment, recent rend
ing has indicated Hint it flourished
In much of the territory west of tho
Missouri liver 100 years ago. Since
bootlegging Is tho result ot laws pro
hibiting tho sale of liquor, nnd since
it was federal law which created tho
condition of which we have rend
law that did not then run Into tho
Oregon country It may be that the
business Is truly, new hero, but only
a short distance to tho east It
mand tho careful consideration of
every thoughtful man In the com- flourished In nil Its modem details,
munity who is Interested not only In (rom whiskey running down to tho
his own welfare but in tho prosperity operation f n still,
ot the Deschutes valley and that Is. n ono respect, however, there
hu set lip tho flrnt distillery. This
man was Kolmoth MclCunild and tho
locution ot his still was Port Union,
on tuo Missouri liver, ?,
Unfortunately for McKoutlo, mid
much nfter tho stylo of nioro mod
orn operator, ho charged a traveler
too mucli for u drink, and on (ho
travelers' return to tho Mates, In
formation of his lawless activity
was given tho federal officials, who
brought It to mi end.
Truly, there Is nothing now under
the Sun.
A GOOD POLICY
Tho newly udopted ru'.o of tho
state highway commission to nr
rnngo for,Htirfudng on nil grades
built under Its Jurisdiction is a dis
tinct forward' stop In policy that
menus much to tho various sections!
especially Interestedt thu.Mo those
especially Interested that Is to
those where grading Is being done.
To construct u grade nnd then wait
Indefinitely before proceeding with
surfacing Is a wasteful IiUhioi'ks. tt
Is like building a hotisu nnd louv
lug tho roof off. Until the roof Is
on tho Interior of the house Is
exposed to nil tho elements and
may luivo to ho rebuilt when tho
tlmo comes- to put tho roof on. In
the same way an tinsurfacod grade

' toasons. Handles are being worked pects easy money out of tho Illicit work before tho surfacing muterlal
today with the aid of school boysBa,0 0f liquor; 100 yours ago he was can bo put down.
Farmers with any amount of nlfnl
fn acreage look forward to tho
liarvcst season with misgiving. Thoy
fear they may lose at least n partof
their crop because of sheer Inability
to find hnrvest hands. Potato
growers face tho same situation.
Conditions are much worse than
thoy were a year ago, and no relief
la In sight.
All this means that a food short
ago with prices much higher than
they have been at any time In tho
past. Because of these same reasons
planted crops are less extensive than
in former years and it Is too late to
;do anything thnt may remedy the
situation. At best, even if the crops
are all harvested, production will bo
ifar short of normal. If they arc
harvested, however, there will be
romd Tclief, small as it may be. nnd
tho biggest thing we can do for our
selves and our fnrtner friends Is to
.plan to aid them when the time
comes.
Although not of the same imme
diate Importance It was of great In
terest to hear a potato expert like
Mr. Hansen say that tho Deschutes
valley soil was the beat In the world
for tho production of potatoes. The
development of potato growing here,
tho high prices paid for Deschutes
valley stock in competition with that
from other parts of tho west nnd the
recent Investment in local farm
lands ot men whose chief interest is
In tho. potato business have served
to confirm the growing belief that
here was one ot the big agricultural
possibilities. Now Mr. Hansen
crowns tho belief with unqualified
statements of the reason why this Is
so. It means big things lor the
future
Another matter, not brought out
so. clearly but suggested by veiled
reference, was the possibility ot in
creased irrigation development
through the activity of tho Durtt as
sociates. Just what this may mean
joust be left to future announce
ments to rovc.il but tho plan, what
ever It may be, must be connected
with the Oenham falls project since

befuddlo the mind ot his Indian
customer, or to keep his white em
ploye constantly In his dobt. And
In exchange for tho Three Star or
Canadian Club of tho day ho re
ceived, not cash, but pelts, which
had still a long Journey to make
before being turned Into coin
of tho realm.
A century ago the only business
carried on In tho groat territory
stretching from tho Missouri to tho
Pacific was In fur. Parties in tho
employ of the great fur companies
trapped nnd hunted tho country
over. Free hunters that is, men
not bound to sorvlco with any com
pany also collected skins for mar
ket, but tho biggest supply was
obtained by trade with tho Indians.
Competing in the field wero tho
Northwest nnd Hudson Day com
panies, representing Hritish Inter
ests, and various American compan
ies and associations, chiefly with
headquarters nt St. Louis. Each
had undisputed sway in certain ter
ritories, hut on tho border lines
their Interests clashed and here,
chiefly, thoy found tho uso of liquor
essential in order to insure the In
dian -trade, or to' uso u modern
expression to get an even break
with their competitors.

Possibly tho now policy U of no
Immedlute Importance to Ueichutoa
county, because tho commission Is
carrying out Its promise to surface
the Important section of Tho Dnllos
Callfornla highway now being
graded, ul connection with future
work, however, It means that, onco
n project Is hogun, Is will bo car
ried through to completion In
this section, unless a road It
surfaced It Is no road at all.
Many a Job of grading has been
done heru that left the nmd in
worse shape than It was In before
tho road crew struck It. simply be
cause surfacing did not follow grad
ing. If tho commission1 now or
ders grading and surfacing on all
now work wo shall bo assured of a
good road when tho first contract
is let.
THE SCHOOL TAX
While tho budget for the local
school district for tho coming year,
which will bo voted on at a spe
cial meeting of tho tux payers on
Juno 30, shows n smaller sum to
bo levied than In tho past year, the
dltferenco in totals Is more appar
ent than real because of tho al
lowance made for receipts from tho
two-mill tnx voted at tho recent
special election. That Is, wo shall
pay, hereafter, a larger part of our
government early forbado tho im-, school tax through tho stato and
portatlon of liquor Into the wostorn I tho monoy will come back from it
territory, and hero tho bootlegging
began. Essential In competition
against the British companies,
liquor was also of groat value for
trade in purely American territory,
and many wore the dovlcos used by
expeditions starting for tho Interior
to get it by tho guards on tho rivers
and trails.
Facing the difficulties ot smug
gling liquor into tho fur country,
ono acute trader ,w!th an enterprise
worthy of a better calling, persuad
ed his associates that, while the
laws forbado "Importation," nothing
was said of tho manufacturo of
liquor and proceeded to carry a
still Into tho wilderness, where,
with corn Imported for tho purposo,
rather than directly through local
tax collections.
In spite of the comparative same
newt of tho two totals thoro aro
real differences, however, that In
dicate that tho district Li gottlng
on a better basis and that tho er
rors ot past years In levying too lit
tle have now been cared, for. TIiIh
Is shown In tho omission of any
sum for emergency loans, which
have heretofore been necessary to
mako up shortages In past tux lev
ies. Tho Increases, chiefly In In

result of growth, both In tho num
