COMMANDS WUKK Hill llanley is still boostint; as will be noted from the following dispatch from Rochester, N. Y., under recent date: "Since the Western Governor's special left St. Paul it has at tracted much more attention than nnyono from the west could real ize," said William Ilunlev, of the Oregon delegation, with the spe cial here tonight. "The east is anxious and makes its pilgrim brother welcome in all the cities we have visited. "The Governors have been hard worked, as they have been in great demand, The commer cial organizations in the different cities have made extensive ar rangements to entertain the Western Governors, who have re presented with credit their states and have fully compensated thoni with well-condensed information which eastern people were eager to know something about, as they are all feeling that the price of living has gone so high that they might be able to give them some facts that they might get it re duced without losing some of their people front the tilling of the soil. "The Great Northern exhibit cars of the Governors special have been visited by ninny thou sands of people at each of the cities where stops were made. "Those visitors were of all classes, many young men with their wives, working for wages, are very anxious to gel west and build themselves up a home in the country, but as a general rule they are all feeling that it is a hard undertaking to mako the break from a monthly income, barely sullicient to live on, to move and take up a piece of land and stav with it until they have a product from it sullicient to live on. "Going from one cily to another 1 find each one specialized in some particular factory product, and I also II nil the peoplo gener ally in the community localized to their on locality, to their own particular factory product. They do not seem to realize to the full est extent their interest in build ing up tho source from which their business comes-the soil. "Tho greatest good that can bo done to all these communities would bo if they could got u pop ular crazo of going out with their commercial organizations in special trains, tho same as tho Western Governors' special, studying conditions for thorn boIvcs. As it is, in my judgment, tho minds of the peoplo are far behind tho real development of the country. They luko too much food of thought that a trust or something else is pinching them, than in tho real causo of tho lack of their interest to look out for tho development of their own country, to their farthest neigh borhood in the West." INDUSTRIAL NOTHS. (Portland Correspondent) Announcement of. a railroad across Oregon from east to west was appropriate news for Thanks giving week. President Lovett of the Harriman system lina au thorized the construction of the Oregon Eastern from Vale to Dog Mountain, a distance of M0 miles. Tho road will not stop there but will be built to Hums, then presumably on to Hend and very likely south to connect with the Natroti-Klamalh line. Work on the project will be rushed and it is expected to get the first link under way before the end of the pre.sentyenr. This new mileage will be of great val ue to Eastern Oregon, a coun try now undergoing rapid devel opment, and will give modern transportation to a district now isolated. A Redmond bank has made ar rangements to bring in several carloads of good dairy stock for ranchers of that section, follow ing thesameplauas that of Head capitalists in furnishing brood sows to farmers in that locality, Redmond, with a large. area of irrigated alfalfa growing all about it, should make an ideal dairy center. Four big realty deals during the past week, in different parts of the state, involving over$l, 500,000, show the faith Eastern capitalists have in Oregon. A tract in Southern Yamhill Coun ty, embracing 2300 acres, brought $.'150,000; 50.000 acres in Klamath county sold for $300,000; 1200 acres in linker county brought $250,000, and a big tract of tim ber in the Sumptcr Forest Re serve sold for $500,000. Good roads throughout Oregon will be the chief topic discussed at the annual convention of Coun ty Judges and Commissioners of the state, which will be held in the Portland Commercial Club convention hall December 12-14. Road legislation will be consid ered, with a view to permanent highway construction throughout the state. Condon will get the fair to be held by the Tri-Couiuy develop ment League next fall. There fore, the fair will be held in a different one of the three coun ties each year. Alfalfa seed has become one of the profitable crops of the On tario region. More than $30,000 has been realized from tho sale of seed this season. Most of the product goes to Eastern markets. Oregon apples grown nt Talent by Houston Hros., captured a big prize at the recent National Apple Show at Spokane. These growers got first prize for a car load of Yeilow Newtown apples. They carried away $300 cash, merchandise worth "$200 more, besides banners and cups. PACIFIC MONTHLY AltSOUIIIiD.

BIG FIGHT FOR WATER Attempt to Tear Out Dam in Foley Slough Last Saturday Night PROMINENT MEN ARE INVOLVED FarmerH Along Slough Have Suffered Big Damages Obstruction and Started to Remove il The Pacific Live Stock Company Enjoined From Replacing it. In the fall of 1907 the Pacific Live Stock Co. bought a piece of laud where the Foley slough diverges from Silvies River and placed an obstruction in the slough at the point composed of a rock dam. The Company, which owns water rights along Silvies river, contended that the original intake or mouth of the slough had washed out to such an extent that it interfered ma terially with the natural flow of the stream nnd, therefore, the water claimed by the company and originally flowed down the river to the lands below was diverted. The company claimed its intention was to fill the intake up to what it originally was per mitting the excess to flow over. No action was taken by tlunc affected on the slough in any legal process sit the time to stop the company from placing the obstruction in the slough, al though there was talk that it was an illegal dam. List Saturday night a number of prominent men owning land along the slough with others in their employ started to tear out the dam but were stopped by the sheriff. It seems some one had betrayed their confidence and Asst. Manager Holland of the P. L. S. Co. was informed of their intention and he took the' sheriff and Atty. Sizemore out and caught them before the dam had been entirely removed. The sheriff took the names of the following who were there: Allen Jones, Don Dickenson; F. O. Jackson, Thos. Baker, Frank Baker, L. B. Culpand son Chas., C. E. McPheeters, Dalton Gibbs, Fred Crump, Bert Pennington, Will McLaren, Clarence Beckley, James Henderson, Bert Lewis. These men were asked to ap pear before tho justice of tiie peace on yesterday on a charge of wantonly destroying a dam. The defendants all waived exam ination and consented to give bonds for their appearance be fore the grand jury. The defendants claim that the obstruction placed in the slough by tho P. L. S. Co. not only cut off excess but also the natural How and that they have suffered much damage during the past four years from this diminished flow. They claim that action would have been taken sooner in the matter had they not expected the state board of water control to take the matter up and adjudi cate the rights. They contend that it was an illegal dam there fore it was not nn illegal act for them to reinovo it. An equity suit was filed Thurs day and nn injunction order served on the P. L. S. Co. enjoining them from restoring that portion destroyed. Warm Springs valley by driving a '200-foot tunnell at the head of the di ch. It is likely that he Will be recalled in a short time to carry on the improvement work to early completion, says the Enterprise. Mr. JohnRon also figured on the extension of the ditch of the Drewsey I-and & Irrigation Com pany for a distance of six miles. He and his sons. Lawrence and Percy, have also been running lines over several tracts of land in order to determine the area of land to be irrigated. Mr. Johnson and Lawrence Johnson returned as far as Beu lah in the Johnson automobile, where the breaking of an axle caused them some trouble and delay. Mr. Johnson came in the rest of the way on the stage while Lawrence Johnson waited for the automobile to be repaired. Percy Johnson remained in the Drew.sey country several days longer to complete the survey of the land of several ranchers,- who are to come in under the new ir rigation ditch. Tho roads into the interior country, have never been bet ter," said John E. Johnson last Tuesday, "It is a pleasure to ride over the country now." Roads are fine says Mr. Carter and freighting into the interior is good. Weather in the western part of the country is nice but rather cold. Van Enterprise. men i HAvn SKirrciiiii). I I (Mipyrlicht, lull, lluioer Ueiii)ft Hnfllinlei ! On the evening of Dec, 1st, ! 1895. I left New York for Wash- j ington with Julian Ralph. We arrived in Washingtou after dark, so that on the morning of Dec. 2 I opened my eyes upon a new phase of American life woke up in the midst, so to speak, of statesmen and affairs of state. Being so closely in contact with such a delightful character as was Mr. Ralph amid such sur roundings, it seemed that this was one of the most memorable occasions of my picture-making career. Ralph had just returned from Japan, and because of this all the celebrities from the Presi dent down to the lobbyist, who are in many cases statesmen themselves, welcomed him cordi ally. These men were all eager to see and discuss with the dis tinguished writer his trip to the Far East' Thus as I was always close at his heels I had an un usual opportunity to focus on these. Congress was to open on the Cth, Tom Reed, of Maine, was much talked of as the Presiden tial candidate for 189G on the Republican side. So for several days I had been wondering what the Honorable Tom looked like. Ralph and I were returning to our rooms in the Shoreham when a ponderous man with ill-fitting clothes hailed Mr. Ralph from an open door. His voice was a sort of squawk like that of a jack snipe, and almost before I had time to guess who such a queer looking man was. Julian Ralph had introduced me to Tom Retd. Though I hadn't drawn many pictures in the East yet, Mr. Reed let on that he knew me.

Clifford, one on the fore most attorneys of this city re sulted in a ruling Tuesday favor able to his clients, while ruling in the fourth has not yet been ; handed down. The first case was I that of Nicholas Manser et al verses William Baker, the latter being removed as executor of I the will of Andrew Manser by ; County Judge Basche, which was i sustained in the local circuit court is affirmed. There was much interest in the Manser case, 'and the decision of the supreme 1 court removes the re-instatement of Baker as executor. The other cases in which Judge Clifford won out were those of tho North American Security I Company verser Leonard Cole and Lesnard Cole verses the Willow River Lmd and Irriga i tion company. Both are Malheur ! county cases and were tried in the circuit court at Vale and ar gued before the supreme court by Judge Clifford. The triple victory is resulting in congratu tion to Judge Clifford from his legal friends and is a fitting tri bute to his abilities as a legal practitioner. - Baker Democrat. i SURVEYORS THICK AS BEES.

He was about the strangest man I had seen. There was some-' thing about his ponderous make-. up that suggested the hippopota-, mus. His very thin hair hung , from his head in a melancholy way, as if there were no binding ties that existed between it and his scalp. His collar was not the kind usually sold at the hnber-1 dashers' stores, and his laugh, ' that was much in evidence, had the same twang as his voice. He looked many inches over six feet and many pounds over two bun-, dred. Yet his clothes seemed to, wrinkle us if they were but half filled. His walk was as peculiar as the rest of him. His stomach seemod to start a step or two in advance and his body followed in a rolling easy way. Whether serious or laughing, his facial ex pression was just the same.
