Coo grew) Plana Are Laid. (Portland Oregonlan) An extensive programme (or the coming Oregon irrigation congress to be held In Portland January 7-8 was projected at a meeting of the execu tive committee of that body at th Im perial hotel yesterday, in which it was decided to change the annual meeting of the congress from a three to a two-day session and to place the congress on a Bound financial basis. A special attempt will be made dur ing the coming year to be of service to the irrigation projects of the state, it was announced. Many details of the coming cam paign to be waged in the Interests of irrigation and land reclamation were discussed. It was pointed out by Wal ter E. Meacham of Baker that In the past Oregon has not received Its just quota of Irrigation appropriations from the national government. Ntnte (ieU Hnudl Return, "All the other states who have con tributed to the reclamation and irri gation fund through the sale of public lands have received back more than they put in," Baid Mr. Meacham. "Ore gon has put in $11,000,000 and has received back only $4,500,000 as com pared to Idaho, who put in $7,000, 000 and received $23,000,000; Mon tana, who put In $13,000,000 and re ceived $15,000,000; Washington, who put in $7,000,000 and received $14,000,000, and Wyoming, who put in $1,000,000 and received $5,000, 000." ( A general discussion was precip itated by C. B. McConnell of Burns in his criticism of the proposed Initia tive measure number 316-317, enti tled the "Roosevelt bird refuge meas use." It was pointed out by Mr. Mc Connell that the proposed measure would prevent reclamation of lands adjoining Harney lake which are now Included In organized Irrigation dis tricts; it would deprive the state of 30,000 acres of swamp lands subjed to Irrigation, the sale of which would add more than $100,000 to the school fund; It would discourage the exten sion of railroads westward from Crano, and would Increase the federal reserves and thus withhold large areas from the tax list for all time. Following the discussion, the execu tive committee adopted a resolution In which It went on record as being opposed to the proposed measure and that lis action be given the widest publicity possible throughout the state. Resolutions for Congress. The meeting yesterday was called by the chairman of the executive committee, James M. Kyle, of Stan Held. J. L. McCallister of Salem was uppointed secretary. A resolutions committee was appointed to study resolutions to be presented to the congress prior to the coming session of the legislature. P. J., Gallagher was appointed chairman of the resolutions commit tee, which Included J. L. McCallister, secretary, and Walter E. Meacham, John 8. Beall, It. E. Bradbury, Harry W. Card and C. C. Clark. The question of the programme for the coming congress was taken up and a committee was named to work out a complete programme for the coming two-days session Thomas A. Sweeney whs appointed chairman of the programme committee, which In cludes V. N. Wallace, JnmeB M. Kyle, John 8. Beall, and J. L. McCallister. Congress Finances Discussed. The necessity of placing the Irri gation congress on a sound financial basis was discussed at length, as the congress has been supported hereto fore by contributions alone. A unique plan was proposed whereby the con gress should be financed, by a pro rata tax on all the acreage compris ing the Irrigation projects of the state. A committee composed of John 3. Beall, C. C. Clark -and J. L. Mc Callister was appointed with full powers to develop plans for the rais ing of the necessary funds. With the object of collecting datu relative to the value of lands In the various projects, and the amount of land available, cost of reclamation, water supply, crops, character of the soil and all partlcuar needs of the various districts, a questionnaire will be sent out to all the projects of the slate. The data thus collected will be published In pamphlet form for the use of all organizations within the state In replying to Inquiries. The commttee appointed to collect the data and compile the report consists of John 8. Beall, Frod N. Wnllnci and J, L. McCallister. All members of the executive com mittee nre leaving for Sonttle today to nttond the northwest reclamation nnd development congress to be held In Soattlo September 16 and 17.

It was the first ses sion of the association to be held since school closed in early summer. Delightful musical numbers were 1 given by Misses Mary Clark and I Gladys Lane. Professor James gave' an Interesting talk on plans for thej year. The committee on boarding places for the teachers reported that every teacher had room and board in a! family home. The work for the! playground is still going on and the tennis court is about completed. Ar rangements were made for selling of tickets for the Lyceum Course at $2.50 for adults and $1.50 for the school children. . The Association has so many de mands on Its treasury that it seemed advisable to give an entertainment to raise funds and a committee was ap pointed to arrange for it. The big problem of the Associa tion for the year is to meet the social needs of the young people, and at the October meeting there will be plans presented to meet these needs. The assoclatiton is in a nourishing condition with more than eighty members and a big program for the year. No Price Boosting to be Allowed.

Sinnott Visits Northern Morrow County By L. A. HUNT. Representative Sinnott, who made a splendid address on reclamation at the Hermiston Field Day held by the farmers of the Umatilla Project, ac companied the County Agent and A. W. Cobb to Boardman Saturday night and Sunday night, and Sunday In company with S. H. Boardman made a tour of the West Extension Project and was greatly Impressed with the remarkably short time required for the farmers to obtain returns from their land. One illustration which in one form or another was duplicated times with out end, was that of Professor Lar- sen, who last spring began the plow ing of his forty-acre tract and before the summer was over had the entire forty acres in cultivation. Of this, about the middle of May, he sowed ten acres in alfalfa from which he has already cut 18 tons of measured hay and has another crop yet to put up, Insuring at least 2V4 tons per acre from alfalfa seeded as late as the middle of May. He has twenty-four acres of corn averaging approximate ly eight feet high, several acres of potatoes and garden stuff. These are the examples which It is hoped will convince the Reclamation Service that irrigation on the John Day and West Extension is not a fail ure. Mr. Siunott's visit at this time has particular significance because of the fact that the Reclamation Service at Hermiston is recommending, and Di rector Davis of the Reclamation Ser vice from the Department at Wash ington, is visiting Hermiston with the idea of co-operating the recommend ations to begin construction of Mc Kay creek reservoir on McKay creek, a tributary to the Umatilla River. We may be prone to think that the building of this reservoir way over in Umatilla county moans nothing to the people of Heppner. However, the storage of this dam which will be a mile long, nnd 100 feet high, will bo 70,000 acre feet of water and be cause of the fact that the land to be Irrigated has a return flow of about j0 per cent, it will mean not less than 100,00 acre feet of water available for lrrlgntlon In itmatilla and Mor row county. It Is a fact not gener ally known that 30,000 acres of Irri gable land are now under the pres ent canal built from the Umatilla River into Morrow county. Of this at the present time there Is only wa Maurice. Tonrneur's Newest Produc tion, "Woman," Murks Distinct Step In the Development of the Well Known Director. Maurice Tournour'B newest pro duction, "Woman," which comes to the Star theatre on Thursday, Sepi. 23rd, makrs a distinct step In the development of the well known crea tor of "Sporting Life," "The Blue Bird," "Prunella" and other produc tions of distinct artistry. "Woman" disregards the usual scenario form to a marked degree, presenting Mr. Toiirneur's newest views upon the presentation of a screen story. Yet "Woman," which Mr. Tour neur Is now giving the screen world should not bo considered an typical. In rapid succession during the past year he has produced dramas touch LINING ter for 4,500 acres, which amount has already been sold and there are lots of people trying to get more land. With the construction of the McKay creek reservoir will become almoslt Immediately available water for a large area of the remaining portion of this land. It is a foregone con clusion that the construction of the McKay creek reservoir will at least release water for 12,000 acres more land in Mororw county, which will practically double the irrigable terri tory in this county. Among other things of interest to the people of Morrow county, Repre sentative Sinnott said, that the last Republican congress had increased the Reclamation funds from 10 to 15 million dollars, which In view of the fact that the original funds were only $120,000,000 dollars is no inconsid erable amount. Added to this he said was the record of having passed the house from the Public Lands Commit tee, of which he Is chairman, a bill ippropriating $250,000,000 for Sol dier Relief and Reclamation. This bill Is now in the hands of the Irriga ton committee of the Senate of which the Oregon Senator, Mr. McN'ary, is chairman. He said he could see no reason, if this bill could pass the Sen ate, why the John Day Project might not stand a good chance for favorable consideration, provided that the en gineers could convince the Reclama tion Service that it was a feasible pro ject. During the last week Professor Powers and a man from the Depart ment of Horticulture have been spending a considerable time making tests of the soil of the John Day Pro ject and report by the elimination of some of the sand hills or coarser sands and putting the available wa ter on the better land that this Is a perfectly feasible project. This pro ject originally cost $125 per acre but by taking in the new land and cutting out some of the rougher land It is very probable that the price even with the advanced cost of construc tion will be no greater than it is at the present time. In view of the fact that the State of Washington is now contemplating the irrigating of two million acres of land in the Horse Heaven District from the Co lumbia River, with an acre cost of $175, we are unable to see any rea son why Morrow county could not hope with a good chance of success for the early construction of the great John Day Project. ing upon fairy fantasy, smybollcal whimsy, sex analysis, the code of morals and other phases of reality and Imagination.

Ben Buschke, who owns extensive farming lands in the Cason Canyon neighborhood adjacent to Rhea creek and who lives with his family on the Jeff Jones ranch on Rhea creek, Buf fered a loss of $4000 by a destruc tive blaze at the Jones ranch last Tuesday afternoon. The fire was discovered by Chas. Chick, who in company with his mother, was visiting at the Buschke home at the time. Mr. Buschke was quickly notified, but the fire had al ready gained such readway that the blacksmith and machine shops were ablaze and the grannary had also caught fire. A firebrand from ' the burning buildings was carried a distance of 50 or 75 yards to a big stack of bar ley hay in a nearby field and in an instant the entire stack was a mass of flames. Help came from neigh bors and people drove out from Hepp ner to assist in reducing the flames and to prevent their spreading to other buildings and a stubblefield in which were several stacks of grain headings. Everything In the blacksmith shop was burned, including a complete out fit of tools, a gas engine and fanning mill. In the granary were 154 sacks of fine forty-fold seed wheat which Mr. Buschke had tut recently piled' there preparatory to the seeding sea son. The wheat will be almost a tottal loss, although It is believed that some of it may be salvaged for hog feed. There were 42 tons of good barley hay In the Btack. Mr. Buschke, while not a pessi mist by any means, is of the opinion that hard luck finds him quite easily. It was just three years ago to a day that one of the worst bail storms that ever visited this country, caught his several thousand acres of fine wheat ready for harvest and quickly reduced It to a complete loss. In 1912 a similar misfortune visited Mr. Buschke. He smiles in the face of such things. Just the exact origin of the fire 1b unknown to Mr. Buschke. He says there was a fire in the forge about the noon hour, when he was doing some repair work, but cannot account for the way the fire spread and the dam age which followed. Irrigaton Farmers to Meet In Heppner Next Saturday The chairman of the Irrigation Committee of the Farm Bureau nat, called a meeting of the irrigation far mers of Morrow county, or that por tion of them farming along Willow creek and its tributaries, in the I. O. O. F. hall, Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. This meeting Is called foi the purpose of discussing the possi bility of increasng the flow of water for Wllow creek through storage, di version or otherwise. During the summer Oscar Minor, the County Agent and several farmers have been making Investigations regarding stor age sites and it is believed that a considerable amount of water can be stored at a reasonable price. At tlife meeting Saturday it is hoped that Immediate action will be taken in some way towards getting results. This Is a matter of great importance to the farmers of Willow creek as the production of hay and other products has been materially curtailed through lack of an adequate supply of water. FREEMAN N. FRYE. Freeman N. Frye was born October 7, 1863, at Sandwich, N. H., and came to Wheeler county, Oregon in 1887, where he was employed for a time by the Gilman-French Land & Livestock Company.. He was married to Olive L. Skin ner, August 30, 1890, and to this union were born two children, Maur ice A. Frye of Evanston, 111., and Mrs. Harry Brown of this city. The family came to Heppner In 1904, where Mr. and Mrs. Frye have resided continuously ever since. Mr. Frye engaged in the general transfer business for a number of years, and upon selling that business and retiring, was appointed to the position of city marshal which he held with efficiency for some time. Death came suddenly last Wednes day morning, although he had been a sufferer from heart disease for a long time. The funeral was hid from the family residence Sunday after noon, with services in charge of mem- iors of Heppner Lodge No. 66, I. O. O. F., of which order Mr. Frye had long been a member. Rev. W. O. Livingstone, pastor of the First Christian church, assisted at the ser ices Interment was made In Mason, ic cemetery. W. W. Smend expects to leave the first of next week for Portland and Sulem and will be absent from Hepp ner the greater part of the month. He will have charge of the Morrow- county agricultural exhibit at the State Fair. Chicken Missing Poultry Man Does Detective Work When Ed Clark went out to bis chicken bouse the other morning and found 15 ot his finest O. A. C Leghorn pullets missing, he was mad. But his anger did not leave him be reft of reasoning and he toon picked up a few clues which he now believes will lead to the ultimate apprehen sion of the thieves. Through the Imprint ot an auto mobile tire in the dust, Mr: Clark picked up a thread which he is weaving into a net of direct evidence which he believes will bring the guil ty parties before the bar ot justice. "If these fellows get away this time, every poultryman in the coun try may just as weU wring the necks of his finest layers and go out ot the business for keeps," avers Mr. Clark. "They get away with it once and they will keep on ad infinitum." Mr. Clark traced the car to town, found it parked on a side street, he alleges, and there were blood stains upon the car. He says the owner of the car did not offer to throw any light upon the situation, other than that some party had evidently used his car. Hush money played a prom inent part In the events following, but this money was not accepted by Clark. He says he has given all the evidence in the case to the district attorney and is looking for develop ments in the near future. Car Shaves Off Light Pole On Highway No One Hurt A light pole at the highway's edge on the turn just back ot the high school building was shaved off close to the ground last Saturday night when a big six cylinder car hit It full ahead. The car belongs to Raph Jackson, who was driving and with him at the time of the accident were Stanley Lapham and Buck Pad berg. The car was badly damaged but fortunately not one ot the occu pants of the car were injured beyond receiving minor bruises.

The ceremony was performed by the Rev. B. S. Nystrom of Brush Prairie, Wash. Elmer E. Peterson, brother of the groom and Miss Eva Wilcox, sister ot the bride, were wit nesses.

Public Schools Opened Mon day With Good Enrollment The public schools of Heppner opened last Monday morning with a good enrollment. Eighty-four stud ents were present tor registration on the Initial day in the high school, which is about the same number as entered on the first day of last year. This number will be Increased to near a hundred within the next six weeks, as many pupils are always tardy in getting back to school. The grades are well filled, with the primary department full and run ning over. Professor James says that the services ot an extra teacher could be used quite handily, but the youngsters will be cared for efficient ly with some adjustment of plans. The students are entering upon the work with rim and a will to make a big success ot the school year and with teachers, pupils and patrons working in close harmony, every thing points to the best year In the history ot the local institution. The Near East. It is unfortunate that photographs coming from the Near East, the tragedy spot of the world, cannot be passed around, from hand to hand, till every one in the United States has seen them. It Is only by seeing plcturs of children, clad In one thin cotton garment, standing In the snow waiting to be served a piece of bread, or a bowl of soup, that the majority may realize the suffering In that sec tion. To prevent a repetition of what was told last winter in the digging of thousands of graves for those who perished of the cold, the people are called upon to contribute to the col lection of clothing now on under the Near East Relief. The movement is nation-wide, and the clothes will be baled and sent to the Near East Re lief as soon as collected. It Is up to you; will you save a child's life or feast the motht SMALL FOR PRESIDENT Portland Speech of Democratic Can didate Proves Weak and Evasive. Portland, Sept. 13 (Special) Jai. M. Cox is trying to "Jimmy" his way into tne Presiaency by calling hiiu aell a "Progressive." in his speech here today, he men tioned the late Theodure Roosevelt fifteen times and never mentioned Wilson once. Evidently Senator George E. Cham berlain who introduced Cox had told him the way he works the Republi cans for votes in Oregon. Shades of Roosevelt! We know where the late Colonel would be It he were alive today working for Harding and Coolidge with all the rest of the Kooseveits (except his fourth cousin ). Cox's speech bristled with abuse of his opponent. He slung mud in nis Portland speech today as he has' done all through the campaign. His opponents, the Republican Standard bearers, he called re-actioaarles, tor getting the forces of re-action, Tam many, Cochran, Brennan, and Tag gart who nominated him in San Francisco. He told how he won the votes ot the I. W. W. at Butte by promising the forces ot radicalism freedom ot speech. He dodged the Liquor Question as he has throughout the campaign. A man In the audience asked, "What about the Liquor Question?' Cox answered, "My friend, you are Interested in something that is as dead as the slavery question. It Is a question of law enforcement. I will answer you by saying that when I was elected Qovernor of Ohio I closed the front door and the back door of every, saloon in Ohio on Sun day." which omits any promise to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment or not to tamper with the Volsted Act. His reference to the campaign fund charges, which he has made an issue of the campaign and tailed to prove, were vague and elusive. Sim mered down to what is left of them, he charges that William Burns, a Re publican newspaper man ot New York, solicited funds to publish a campaign book. Some rich men con tributed. And on such a flimsy basis he, In his Portland speech, charged a connection betwteen the Republi can party managers and the forces of reaction. , Cox's defense of the League ot Na tions was weak. "Vote the way your boys shot" was the basis of his ap peal, a pure uppeal to the emotions and not based upon solid facts that the American people would like to hear from their Presidential candi date. He showed no familiarity with the Issues involved, the question o the creation of a superstate, the question ot the loss of American Sovereignty, the question whether the American Congress would lose control of American troops. His only argument In favor ot the League which was at all definite was the argument that the foreign nations could not repay their immense for eign debts unless America Joined; which is perhaps one reason why we haven't rushed In head over heels up to date. He apologized mildly for the bur dens placed upon the people by the Wilson Administration, the heavy taxes, etc., but offered no construc tive policy or promises of relief. Cox's Portland speech showed this: Cox may do tor Governor of Ohio BUT HE WILL NOT DO FOR PRES IDENT. Whenhe aspires to the big Job ot President, he is in over his depth. He has not the statesmanship, the fa miliarity with national problems, the capacity to handle the job. Think ot a candidate tor President Making a speech without a reference to a National budget system, with no reference to what he will do for the soldiers, sailors or marines, with no constructive program for the up building ot agriculture and the de velopment of the Federal Farm Loan System, no message of hope to the laborer or the artisan, no mssage ot cheer to the little children of the South who are still oppressed by their employers. No, James M. Cox, by his own pub lic utterances, has caused the Ameri can people to bring in their own ver dict: TOO SMALL A MAN TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. FIRST CHRISTIAN' CHURCH.
