(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.

Held First Meeting Tuesday'
The Patron -Teachers Association
bald an important meeting at the!
high school auditorium last Tues

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!

WmsgmB,
Rep. N. J. 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.

EIRE DESTROYS WHEAT
Ben Buschke, Rhea Creek Farmer,
Suffers 4000 Loss on Third Anni
versary of Hail Disaster Blaze
Starts in Machine Shop.
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.
Prominent Gooseberry Far
mer Married Last Sunday
A beautiful wedding took place
last Sunday afternoon at the home
of Carl Richard Peterson when he
was united In marriage to Miss Al
verta Wilcox.
The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. B. S. Nystrom of Brush
Prairie, Wash. Elmer E. Peterson,
brother of the groom and Miss Eva

family, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Peterson,
Victor and Esther Peterson, Carl and
Oscar Peterson and Ralph Wilcox,
brother of the bride.
The minister gave a short address

ty well wishes to the young couple
and wished them prosperitty and a
long and happy life.
The young people will make their
home at Mr. Peterson's ranch, where
the groom is extensiely engaged in
farming.
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

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.
