Irrigation to cover between 30.000
nml C0.000 acres of land la doing
much toward bringing about a better
undcrstnndlhj: of the matter on the
part of tho land owners of the val
ley am! In comequence many of them
liaro been calling recently at the of
fice of tho Itoguo River Valley
Canal company and discussing tho
matter. Many havo availed them
selves of the opportunity of contract
ing for water, tho contract belnp
p'lnccd In escrow until a sufficient
nrrcago Is signed up to Insure tha
construction of the new high line
ditch.
The signing up of these contracts
means much to tho city and valley.
Not only does It mean that larger re
turns will bo secured from tho. land
but that over a million dollars will
be spent in tho valley at once In con
struction work. The pouring out of
this money In tho valley will revive
business In a great degree. Irrlga
tfon will bo a lasting good as It wilt
mean that tho smallcd holder will bo
nblo to make a living on his small
tract, In many Instances between
rows of young trees, waiting until
they como Into bearing.
' "Prospects are bright for an early
start on active construction work,"
states J. T Sullivan of the company,
"of course we havo not as yet the
required acreage signed up but wo
aro receiving requests for Informa
tion and data from many landowners
whom wo havo heretofore failed to
Interest In tho project. In practical
ly eery case cnllghtment means tho
signing of a contract.
"It la unfortunato In a senso that
tho valley is so situated that irriga
tion Is not an absoluto necessity.
Tbero can bo no question as to Its
value and benefit but this is hard to
bring homo to thoao who havo pro
duced crops in tbo past for many
jcars without Irrigation. Tho dry

no doubt.

DIES AI EAGLE POINT
Agnes Howlott, daughter of Itov
and Mrs. A. C. Howlott of Huglo
Point died last night after n long 111
jiess, Tho funeial will bo hold Sat
urday uftornoon.
MIbs Howlett was born near 13aglo

'mpntlm nnd sovon days of age. Sho
was known us u blight, happy, lov

POPULARIZING U'REN.
WHKNlUVEr? (ho Oroijoiiuui assails anyone (hoy popn
larizc him so thoroughly tainted is its support. Uy
its persecution of Y. Sr?. lT'loii', the paper is likely to nml.e
him governor.
"All tho reforms he (IT'Ron) has proposed through the
Oregon system had as their ultimate his present service to
Joseph Fels. Thus l'Ron has always smelled his particu
lar from the general weal," says tho Oregonian among
other compliments.
!Mr. tT'J?en is a single.-! axer. The Fols fund is a pnhlie
subscription to defray the expense of the single tax propa
ganda, to which llr. Fels contributes a dollar for every
dollar received from other sources. Mr. r'Ron until re
cently received a salary of $2,100 a year from the Fels fund
as attorney for it, to defray expenses in tho cause of tho
single tax theory.
There was nothing questionable or disgraceful in this
connection. Mr. U'Uon was a single-taxer long before
there was a Fels fund. Being a poor man he could not
afford to devote all his enemies to the work of advancing
the doctrine unless his means of livelihood wore assured
nnd tho Fels fund did this. He probably eonld have drawn
ten times the salary from land and tiniboi'hogs, if ho had
chosen to drop the work, and thereupon been placed upon a
pedestal by the tory newspaper. '
Mr, U'Reifs record is too well known to be permanent
ly soiled by the mud thrown by the Oregonian. I le has led
the revolution for popular government over the obstacles
thrown in his path by the Oregonian, and while he makes
many mistakes, his influence has been for immense good.
Hut all the reforms that Mr. U'Ken has aided have
been but preliminary to the greatest reform of all tho
single tax. Without it there can be no equality in taxation
no equality in opportunity. And it is because tho single
lax will destroy the Oregonian's foundation of special
privilege, that it is assailing one of its prophets.
THE SUPERIOR COURT GRAFT.
npilELatourette hill which purports to reform the.judic
A ial system of Oregon is probably the weakest measure
that ever boi e the label of reform.
It adds a burden of $."0,00() annually upon the tax
payers of the state and creates nine extra judges presum
ably because jurisdiction of the new court has been ex
tended to probate matters. Aside from giving the now
court original jurisdiction of the probate business there is
no reform except the creation of nine sinecures and the
only thing superior in the system is the increase in salary,
f Taking Josephine county as an instance, aside from'u
few ex parte divorce cases, the circuit judge has not tried
n half dozen cases in that county in tho last six months.
Josephine county is only cited as an example. There
are other districts created by the new law where the same
consideration exists and where there is not a month's real
work in the year for the occupant of this $1000 sinecure.
The bill ought to be defeated, it is not a reform in any
sense and adds an enormous burden to the taxpaver with
out compensating benefits. It is just the sort of half
baked legislation to be expected of a legislature that has
introduced 939 new laws, and acted on ai in 31 davs!
