Klchards, Commissioner of the tlie land there, the government In tends to do It, because It would clearly be more advantageous to the State than that only a part of It of It still arid, and water going to waste. It Is estimated that there are seventy-three thousand acres of arid land on the North side of Chewaucan River, all good soli, susceptible of tr-j rlgatlou, and very likely enough on the Kouth side to make the total amount to be reclaimed one hundred thousand. The government has been given to understaiul that the people In the vicinity of this laud are decidedly lu favor of the larger operation by the government, nud the facts now show an Intent ion on the part of the gov ernment to hold the land, and all of It, for that purpone. Of course the government will re fund to the Stale, for the lcuent of the Portland Irrigation Compauy. any money the company may have paid out that is a valid charge agtilnst the goverumeut. We congratulate the people In the neighborhood of this laud, aud ex press our firm U'llef that the time is not far distant when it will be the scene of Irrigation activity by the 1'nlted States, the result of which will lie the addition of hundreds of people to the populat ion, and thous ands of dollars to the wealth of Lake county.

Reed, the cabinet maker has as complete a shop as can be found In the country anywhere, all ma chinery necessary to do good work aud all run by a gasoline engine. In the same building occupied by Mr. Reed we found the Cnewaucau Post, it ooooooooootwooooooooooeo. The Paisley Drug store owned by lr. A. A. Wltham on the corner loomed up before' us ou leaving the last establishment and we sauntered lu, found the Dr. wrapping up a box of pills aud complaining of the " ab ominable" healthfulness of the place. However, the doctor seemed I to be prospering. The Alusworth & Withers mer chandise store was next visited. Here we found a new aud prosper ous appearance. Messrs. A Ins worth & I ntbero are rapidly enlarging their stock and preparing for a bright future. V. Conn's business was then visit ed aud here as well as other business houses we found many Improve ments, such as glass couuters, show cases aud hard ware cabiuets, also a large drygoods cabinet has recently been placed in the center of the store. Mr. Conn also contemplates putting in a glass front lu his store the coming summer. Here we came to the big bridge aud crossing to Mr. ieo. Conn's side of the river, where we fotiud that gentleman looking hale and hearty standlug behiud bis couuters ready to show his large stock of merchan dise. Mr. Conn seemod very happy over the prospects for Paisley. Well, we could uot visit Mr. Coun without looking over his farm and foun'd that gentleman ready to go and show the fruits of several years' toll ou wnut he pleasantly alluded to as "Oregon desert." In 1902 Mr. Conu planted a large field of alfalfa, there that could be made as valu able if watered. A whole page could be written on this subject, but we must hurry on, as we expect to have more to say of irrigation in that part of the county at different times, lie found the Paisley people generally In good humor ftufl ready to entertain their visitors. On Monday evening a sur prise party was given at the home bt Mr. and Mrs, W, Yt Milter aqJ at (least 25 old friends of ye Berlin! and his wife run in on us With arms full of cake and other refreshments, Games were played and all sorts of amusements were indulged in till the wee small hours, when all departed to meet again the next evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John JSlin mons, where another enjoyable eve ning was spent. To say the least a round of pleasure was Indulged in during the entire week In which nearly the whole town took part. They are a Jolly set, and one misses a good time if he falls to visit Paisley.

A decision has been reached by the President and Cabinet that no ap pointment to postmasterships shall be made in Oregon during the pend incy of land fraud cases iu thecourts against Oregon Congressmen.' It is not deemed proper that those members of Congress under indict ment should be allowed to iutiuence appointments, now that Aenator Fulton alone should control appoint ments throughout the state. The appointment at Astoria will probably be made on recommend-, ation of Senator Fulton. All other Incumbents are expected to continue in office until charges against Con gressmen are disposed of.
