this region the United States is en

which will involve the construction
of a storage reservoir covering three
square miles, intended te store up
the wiuter flood of 45,000 acres of
water, sufficient to irrigate over
20,000 acres of land. The work on
this great enterprise is now In pro­

and the W. J. Furnish ditch,which
will irrigate as much more, all of
this being now the home of the sage
ben and jack rabbit; but which,un­
der the influence of the water cure,
will grow the richest kind o f crops.
The water for all of these will be
taken from the Umatilla river uear

■We found Pendleton a lively and
prosperous city, whose people have
faith in the future, and are willing
to put their faith into motive work.
They are now laying bithnlitic
pavement on two business streets a
distanoe of nearly half a mile each,
the balance to be McAdamized to
city Ihnits. Pendleton is humming
- with industry, and alive with pub-
lie sp irit Io this work of bnildiog
op the oity we find the Morning
Tribune a powerful and popular in­
fluence under the editorship of our
late respected townsman, Gov.Geer,
who in a short timé has made The
Tribune the leading daily east of
the Cascade mountains. Pendleton
people, regardless of party or fac­
tion, are very proud of i t Mr.
and Mrs. Gserare nicely domiciled
are much pleased with the oordial
friendship shown them by the big-
hearted people of Pendleton, and
are highly regarded in the substan­
tial homes of the city.
THE JUTE MILL VISITED.

In oomphny with the governors
of Oregon and Washington, Messrs
Chamberlain and Mead, and 32
Oregon legislators, Hon B F Pike,
member elect from this district,
paid Walla Walla prison a visit
laat week, guests of the Pendleton
board of trade,returning more fully
impreaaed than ever of the import­
ance and practicability of the plan
proposed for the second time in 13
rears by Sherman county, for relief
of grain farmers, wool producers
and hop raisers from jute extortion.
The act which became a law 12
years ago originated in this county.
John Medler, B F Pike and A 8
Roberta, were its fathera. However,
something more about that in the
near future. ‘

During the biennial period end­
ing Sept. 30, 1906, there wire ex­
pended from the fund provided for
this purpose $153,515.87, while the
gross receipts were £204,558.84.
This included the sale ol any manu­
factured products which were car­
ried over from the preceding bien­
nial period. The grow profits of
the jute mill for the two years were
£22,149.01.
It is estimated with a fair margin
of profit, and sufficient machinery
to utilise the surplus convict labor,
together with a sufficient appropri­
ation to insure continual operation,
the year round, that the jute mill
alone will put the Washington state
prison on s self sustaining basis.
We were all pleased with Gov.
Mead. He is a brainy, matter of
fact man of the people, without
frills or waste words, hearty and
wholesome and not afraid to do
what he believes to be right. When
asked, in the presence of Gov.
Chamberlain, if he would recom­
mend the establishment of a jute
mill at the prisoi} if the state had

prison grounds, and the crowd very
soon surged into the bag factory,
with its 70 looms, and spindles and
auxiliary machinery in view. The
appraised value of the plant, last
September, according to statistics
prepared by the Washington state
officials, Including structure, ma­
chinery, and all appurtenanoes.was
about $125,000. The appraised vslu
of the machinery alone is about
£50,000. It is estimated, however,
that a similar plant oould be in­
stalled and fully equipped with
modern machinery, for about the
present appraised value of this
plant. For the past three legisla­
tive periods, since April 1, 1900,the
Washington legislature has appro­
priated $150,000 for each succeed­
ing two years; this allows £75,000
a year for the operation of the va­
rious industries at the prison. Re­
ceipts from the sale of all manufac­
tured products are turned in direct
to the state treasurer, hence the ne­
cessity of a new appropriation eaoh
legislative period. Price per bale
paid for jute this year $18; 400 lbs.
per bale, makes 451 sacks per bale.
During the time between Jan 1, 05,
and Sept. 30, *06, the mill turned
out 1,339,650 grain bags, together
with quite an amount of hop cloth,
oat bags, wool bags, warp, twine,
floor matting, and other produots,
made from jute,all of which is made
with the same machinery with but
a trifle in loss of time for the read­
justing of the looms. Since elec­
tric power has been in succeseful
operation the mill can easily make
a daily average of 1,000 bags, with
a monthly average of 172,000, with
a yearly output of say 2,000.000.
On this basis there would be a short
time allowed for closing down the
looms for a general overhauling of
the plant, which is deemed advisa­
ble at least once a year. Following
is a tabulated statement of expense
for 9 mouths—

Pendleton T ribu ne
As might have been expected,op­
position to the proposal to erect a
jute mill at the prison in Salem has
begun to show itself. The Western
Oregon, a paper ^published by D M
C Gault at Cottage Grove, is very
much opposed to the idea and char­
acterizes it as a huge scheme to
get money out of the state treasury,
etc. And a few others have made
similar expressions. But this is not
surprising, neither is it discourag­
ing. Propositions of this character
are certain to invite opposition in
some quarter, but in states where
the manufacture of jute fabrics
with prison labor has been tried, it
is giving splendid satisfaction, and
in Washington especially,where the
plant will be doubled in capacity
next year.
The Tribune is not influenced by
an objection to the preeent system
of making stoves on the ground tha|
it is specially in the way of free
labor, though even the little that it
creates, such oom petition would be
better removed if possible. Bu|
working the conviets on the public
roads will be much more in compe­
tition with free laborers than is the
manufacture of stoves. But there
is no factory on the Pacific ooast
engaged with free labor in the man­
ufacture of jute fabrics. It if essen­
tially a foreign industry, and but
for the output of our prisons, is en­
tirely in the hands of foreign coun­
tries. At the same time the Pacific
ooast states sbfy more grain, wool
and hope, all requiring bags madb
of jute, than all the rest of the Uni­
ted States combined.
This being true, and especially
since California and Washington
are already engaged in the manu­
facture of jute fabrics, Oregon
should join hands with them in an
effort to break the back of the for­
eign combination against us. The
hop, grain and wool industries are
among the largest in the state, cover
ail portions of it, and since little
benefit to the taxpayers in general
is derived from the manufacture of
stoves, there should be little trouble
in their representatives uniting on
measures for the installing of a jots
plant at the state prison. The en­
tire factory eonld be placed in work­
ing conditioa at a cost below £200,-
000.

Advertising the Beaver State.
According to Wm. McMurray,
general passenger agent of the Har­
riman lined in this state, the O.R.dfc
N.Co., the U.P.Ry. and the S.P.Ry.
will redouble their efforts to adver­
tise Oregon in the east in future.
Notwithstanding the excellent ad­
vertising given this state by the
Harriman system in the past, new
features and new advertising de­
partments will be added to all the
railroad publications issued by the
Harriman people on the Pacific
coast. Mr. McMurray has secured
a number of hunting and range
photographs from Maj. Lee Moore-
house, and in the forthcoming edi­
tion of The Road of a Thousand
Wonders, and The Overland Route,
to be issued by the above named
railway corporations, the hunting
advantages of Oregon will be fea­
tured................ ................................. «—
Thousands of eastern hunters
come west every year in search Of
good hunting, and heretofore this
feature of Oregon has been neglect­
ed in all advertising. Tbe Harri­
man people will now place this
feature prominently before the east
and photographs and views of hunt­
ing scenes will have a prominent
place in all forthcoming publica­
tions. Maj. Moorehouse had a num­
ber of excellent mountain scenes
which Mr. McMurray found suita­
ble for the forthcoming books, and
theee will appear, with suitable
reading matter in the advertising
publications.
In regard to the heavy travel over
the Harriman lines, Mr. McMurray
says it j s unprecedented in tbe his­
tory of western railroading. Every
effort is being made to add greater
facilities for handling this travel.
The Union Pacific is being practi­
cally double tracked from end to
end, and several millions are being
spent for the O. R. A N. and Short
Line. Within a short time the en­
tire Harriman system will bo prac­
tically rebuilt, so vast are the im­
provements now under construc­
tion .'
