Way Now Oien for Development of
Second Largest Irrigation Irt
Ject in the West.

CASE FURNITURE COMPANY
(Stanfield Standard)
Despite the Injunction suit started
by seven men holding land in the
Paradise Irrigation project, to pre
vent the sale of bonds to develop the
project, the bid of Henry J. Kaiser
for the block of $2,759,510 Irrigation
bonds was accepted and contract
signed and the way is now open for
the development of the second larg
est irrigation project in the North
west. As was advertised, the bids were
opened at 2 o'clock Tuesday after
noon. Mr. Kaiser's bid was accepted
and everything signed up before the
deputy sheriff, with the temporary
restrainnig order, reached the Para
dise office.
Frank Sloan, secretary of the Para
dise district, stated Thursday that
construction of the project's ditches,
reservoir, etc., would commence as
soon as possible.
The development of this project
will mean much to Umatilla county
and Oregon. It contains 47,000 acres
of land lying east of Stanfield, the
center of the project being about 6
miles east of this city. Only one oth
er project, the Sunnyslde project in
Washington, is larger in the North
west. The land on the project is first
class. Half of it is at present bearing
wheat land. It is valued at an aver
age of $25 per acre. It will cost $60
per acre to complete the project,
making a total investment to owners
of $85 per acre. Irrigated lands are
selling at $150 per acre on the Fur
nish project at present.
The Paradise project was organ
ized three years ago. It was surveyed
and plans and specifications of all the
work were made by A. Wold, expert
irrigation engineer, of Seattle. These
ui ve;. 3 and plans have been checked
jy. other engineers.
Water will be taken from the Uma
tilla river, near Thorn Hollow, above
Pendleton, and carried to the land
through 92 miles of main canals and
many more miles of laterals. There
are two reservoir sites, one on the
Umatilla river, three miles above Gib'
bona, with a capacity of 7,000 acre
feet and another in Sage Gulch
above Stanfield, with a capacity of
30,000 acre feet. The main feed
canal runs from Thorn Hollow along
the north side of the Umatilla river
past Cayouse, crosses the Wild Horse
at Havana and runs Into Sa
Gulch, a distance of 32 miles. It will
have a capacity of 580 cubic feet per
second. The Echo branch canal is 26
miles long and will run along the di
vide between Sage Gulch and the
Umatilla river. The DeSpain branch
is 18 miles long and the Cold Springs
branch 16 miles long.
The average elevation of the Para
dise project is 800 feet and it runs
from 600 to 1000 feet. It has been
pronounced the richest irrigation pro
ject in the Northwest.
The Teel project, a project of 20,-
00 acres lying southwest of Echo, will
be developed at the same time. Mr.
Kaiser's bid for its bonds to the
amount of $1,000,000 has been ac
cepted.
Frank Sloan is secretary of the
Paradise project and J. C. Hoskins
president. J. Frank Spinning, of
Echo is secretary of the Teel project
and O. D. Teel president.

Washington, D. C, May 2. The
wool car of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture which left Livingston,
Montana, on January 19th, has given
demonstrations in more than 60
towns of the important sheep-grow
ing states to at least 6,000 persons
directly interested in wool growing.
Since leaving Livingston, the car has
been touring Montana, Idaho, Wyom
ing and Utah in order to demonstrate
better wool means more money for
them. The tour is the result of co
operative arrangements made be
tween the Bureau of Animal Industry
of the Department of Agriculture and
the agricultural colleges of the four
States named.
The trip of this car is regarded by
wool specialists as the most import
ant educational effort that has yet
been made in aid of the sheep indus
try, which provides 9 States, embrac
ing one-third of the total area of the
country, with the greater part of
their income. In recent years a wide
interest has been aroused in the bet
ter preparation of wools for market.
At the same time, however, there has
been in some quarters a certain doubt
whether the financial returns would
repay the attention and expense in
volved in a departure from the pres
ent methods, or rather the present
lack of methods. The more pro
gressive sheep men have realized that
the success of the movement is de
pendent upon general cooperation
among the wool growers. This can
hardly be expected in the absence of
familiarity with the market grades
of wools and a knowledge of the wide
differences in values possible in wools
of the same grade. It is to furnish
this information to practical sheep
men that the demonstration car Is
now making its tour.
In the car are live r' "iep with
fleeces representing the lLuiu market
grades grown in the section in which
the car is traveling. Above the crates
holding the sheep are cases contain
ing similar fleeces, the grade, shrink
age and value of which are clearly
indicated. Stationary magnifying
glasses show the distinctions in the
fineness of the various grades of
small samples. Considerable space is
also devoted to exhibits demonstrat
ing the way in w.iich the valu- of
wool depends upon its natural shrink
age, strength and character. The
methods of branding, packing and ty
ing are also shown.
Another portion of the exhibit
which has aroused much interest con
sists of cases containing samples of
wool in various stages of manufac
ture from the wool in the fleece to
the finished fabric. Very few sheep
men understand the many processes
involved in the manufacture of fin
ished articles from the fleece and are
not, therefore, in a position to appre
ciate the importance which manufac
turers attach to the different charac
teristics of the wool that they purchase.
The exhibits In the car are explain
ed to visitors by representatives of
the Department of Agriculture and of
the agricultural colleges cooperating
with the Federal Department. A
number of colleges in other western
States have asked to have the car vis
it their territories, and dates and
places will be arranged for continu
ing the demonstration as soon as it
is known what funds will be available
for the purpose during the coming
fiscal year.
And the Tip Came Back,
The Woman Who Saw had just
asked the waiter for her check when
suddenly she remembered that she
had failed to get a draft cashed that
morning and probably hadn't enough
change In her purse to pay her way
out (restaurants are pay-as-you-exit
affairs, you know.)
The check the waiter placed beside
her called for forty cents, and there
were six dimes in her purse. She was
safe. Sliding one of the coins under
the plate she made her way to the
cashir's desk and paid. She was all
but on the street when a voice at her
elbow called her back. Turning, she
beheld the waiter who had served
her.
'Pardon, madam," he was saying,
"but this is yours, I believe." In his
extended hand between thumb and
forefinger was a dime.
The Woman Who Saw felt the hot
blood rush to her face. "But I don't
understand," she said. "Take it,"
he said coldly, and dropped it into
her glove. One good look was
enough. It was lead.
Murmuring her apologies she open
ed her purse and handed the other
dime to the man beside her.
As he glanced at it hurriedly a
puzzled look came into her eyes. His
features were on the verge of harden
ing, but then, as if deprecating that
decision, he softened them with a
broad smile.
Again the voice and the out
stretched hand. "Pardon," it was
saying, "but madam can probably dis
pose of this easier than I. I go to
church so seldom."
It was a Canadian dime. New
