SOe FULL LEASED WIRE TELEGRAPH REPORT INDEPENDENT TAXPAYERS' MOVEMENT. There is to be held at Woodburn today an independent taxpay ers' convention to put up a county ticket. Undoubtedly the people have a right to do this, and should do it to protect themselves from graft. Marion county has stood for high ideals in public affairs, and still taxes have gone up abominably. But it should be remembered the last legislature was run by a Portland man in the senate and a Wallowa man in the house. The Portland crowd of reformers named the Wallowa man speaker, and they dictated and controlled his administration of affairs. The Marion county delegation had nothing to say in either de partment of the state legislature, and the governor was a Demo crat. , t There are undoubtedly a few men on the Republican legisla tive and county ticket who could be improved on and possibly be defeated. With one weak man on each ticket, legislative and county, there is room for a scrap, and it is worth while to try to get bet ter men. The state of Oregon is loaded with a choice lot of commis sions that could be weeded out to advantage to the taxpayer. The Capital Journal will point out some of these matters in course of the campaign, and hopes something can be done. o SUMMARY OF SENATOR BOURNE'S PARCEL POST BILL Postal rates on parcels vary with distance, thus protecting lo cal merchants and competing wih express companies : Third and fourth classes of matter are combined. A special rate of one cent an ounce up to four ounces is pro vided for circulars and small packages of goods. Rates are as follows : Local, city and rural deliveryonly, 5 cents for the first pound and one cent for each additional pound. Within 50-mile zone, 6 cents for first pound and 2 cents for each additional pound. Within 200-mile zone, 7 cents for first pound and 3 cents for each additional pound. Within 600-mile zone, 8 cents for the first pound and 4 cents for each additional pound. Within 1000-mile zone, 11 cents for the first pound and 7 c?nts for each additional pound. Within 2000-mile zone, 12 cents for the first pound and 10 cents for each additional pound. Outside 2000-mile zone 12 cents for the first pound and 12 cents for each additional pound. These rates are based upon a careful computation of the act ml cost of collecting, distributing and delivering packages, plus ac tual cost of transportaationn. Weight limit 11 pounds, and maximum charge 12 cents the international limit and rate. UNBECOMING JUDICIAL CONDUCT. There are several displays of unbecoming conduct on the part of judges cropping out in Oregon from time to time. Tn Portland judgfs have a habit of makin? i iowns of them selves by prefcidiny at some mock trial held by lodges. While this is apparently harmless, it has a tendency to lower the courts in public respect, and make a farce of justice. In another part of the state a judge has been known, after a trial, to go with one of the plaintiffs and hear more testimonny. On top of this the custom of taking entertainment at the homes of parties to a suit or counsel is a growing evil. It was a rule of Ben Butler's life not to be left alone anywhere with a woman, not even in the hallway of a hotel. That was his rule as a public official, and it is just as true in principle in the conduct of judges. A judge should be free to meet all kinds of people in his open, public court room or at public gatherings. But accepting hospitality or traveling about privately with lit igants is a dangerous custom. DESCHUTES RIVER ONE OF MOST WONDERFUL If WORLD That there Is Bonie truth In the statement that tho Deschutes river Is the most wonderful stream in the world, la the opinion of State Engi neer Lewis upon his return from a 10 days' trip covering its entire drainage basin. "Iluilding is Active In nioHt of the Crook county towns, and many acres are being cleared and put in crop for the first time,'' said Engineer Town." "Perhaps tho greatest area being cleared is along Squaw Creek, near Bisters, as a result of the recent ad judication of water rights by tho board of control. Those having ln ccmpleto rights must put the water to UBe this fall or It will revert to the new approprlators who are eag erly awaiting the chance of using auch water. The recent rain has given to the dry farming sections a prosperous look, and the building of the North Canal diversion of con crete and steel Insures the irrigated section near Bend a reliable water supply. "This present development is noth ing when compared with the possi bilities for future development. "The Deschutes river at Benham Falls, has a mean annual discharge of 1,220,000 acre- feet of water, as shown by eight years records. The minimum year furnished 1,070,000 acre feet, so that It Is safe to say that there is available at this point for Irrigation purpose, one million acre feet of water. This will Irrigate 333,000 acres of land or a strip one mile wide, and 620 miles long, "The regular flow will ultimately HAPPY TIIO MARRIED? There are unhappy married lives, hut a targe percentage ol these unhappy homes are due to the illness ol the wife, mother or daughter. The feelings ol nervousness, the befogged mind, the ill-temper, the pale end wrinkled laoe, hollow and circled eyea, result most oiten from those disorders peculiar to women. For tlie woman to be happy and good-looking ihe must naturally have food health. UraggMig-down feelings, hysteria, hot-flashes or constantly returning pains and aches are too great a drain upon a woman's vitality and strength. Dr. Pierce's favorite Prescription restores weak and sick women to sound health by regu luting and correcting the local disorders which are generally responsible for the above distressing symptoms.

Sent frit oa reoeipt ol Jl Stamps to pay for wrapping and mailing only. Irrigate about 120,000 acres between Bend and the Crooked River. Every drop of the remaining water can and should be stored for irrigation pur poses through the construction of a 60-foot dam at Benham Falls. This could be released In the summer and diverted near Cline Falls for the Ir rigation of 110,000 acres on Agency Plain, for the irrigation of 60,000 acres In the Crooked River bottom near Prlnevllle, and by diverting above Bend, Irrigating 50,000 acres in the Benham Falls segregation just south of Prtneville. Except for an Inverted siphon across Crooked Riv er Canyon, there are no great engi neering difficulties to be overcome, and It appears that this is one of the cheapest projects in the state to construct "The entire flow at the head of the river can be used for the Irrigation of about 60,000 acres of land above the Benham Falls reservoir without affecting these figures as the seepage will all be collected in the reservoir below. "Between Benham Falls, and Cline Falls, there Is 1300 feet fall. About 60 per cent of the one million acre feet of water will be discharged through the dam for Irrigation pur poses during July and August, and will be available for the development of power which can be transmitted economically two to four hundred miles for the pumping of water to irrigate other lands say along the Columbia river. This water at a 100 foot drop Immediately below the dam will furnish 66,800 horsepower, which at 50 per cent plant efficiency, will lift 2500 second feet, 100 feet above the Columbia river, for the irrigation of 200,000 acres of land. There Is another fall of 100 feet a short dis tance below and above the first di version for Irrigation, and the amount of summer power which can be developed in the 1300 feet fall to the last diversion at Cline Falls Is almost inconceivable. "The farmers between Squaw Creek and the Metollus river have a surveying party in the field locating a seven mile canal from the head of Metollus river, and it Is expected that a one-half mile tunnel will pierce the ridge and permit the irrigation of 30,000 to 50,000 acres In this section. This canal, constructed for irriga tion purposes, would make available about 25,000 horse power which ' can be developed during the winter months only, but which If used in conjunction with the summer power on the Deschutes, would make a val uable and cheap perennial power. "For the greatest good to the greatest number, the Deschutes riv er between Cline Falls and tho Junc tion with Crooked river, should be dried up, except for seepage water. Below this point, the river is of most value for power, and tho total possible diversions for irrigation without con sidering return seepage, would not materially affect Its value for this purpose, but with return seepage may Improve the power value of the lower river. "Sixteen dam sites have been located in the narrow rock-walled canyon from the Columbia river to Just below the Junction of the Metollus with the Deschutes river. With 4000 second feet at the 1300 feet of fall which can bo developed at these sites, 600,000 theoretical horse power can be gener ated. With the low and high year flow equalized at the Benham Falls erservolr and with a 120-foot dam In the Crooked river about 40 miles from Prlnevllle, this low water flow can be increased to about 6000 second-feet, and tho power to nearly 900,000 horse power. This Is about six times the present Installed steam and hydro electric machine capacity In the vicin ity of Portland, and about 40 times the low water power development at Ore gon City. Besides this, an enormous quantity of power can be developed on the Metollus river, and at other points. "These possibilities could be greatly Complicated by development at the wrong time and place, and if carried out under our present wasteful sys tem of competition, the expense to the public will be greatly Increased through lack of harmony between plants. After a number of dams have been constructed for power develop ment, the most economical develop ment of additional power would be by Increased flow through storage The above information, though pre liminary,' has been gathored by the state, and the U. S. Geological Survey, acting In co-operation. A complete report will be available early next year. This stream affords a striking example, where to secure the highest, most logical and orderly development, the entire stream should be turned over to one corporation subject to reg ulation, or else developed by the pub lic as tha need arises. To promote the immediate and best use of this stream Is one of the problems which should receive careful consideration at the hands of the state legislature."

It is really a waste of decen cy to disgrace two localities with them when they might both be confined in one. Neither would add anything to the toughness of any place occupied by the other. It would be really too bad If Gov ernor West should wipe out the Ore gon naval militia. It is the only re ally active warlike body In Oregon. It fights all the time. Taft. seems to,, be getting his full share of the contested delegates and Roosevelt's share, too. George Wlngfleld, the Goldfleld mil lionaire, has been appointed United States senator from Nevada by Gover nor Oddle. Wlngfleld Is a clever, en ergetic man, and the only objection tt him Is that he is a millionaire, added to the millionaires' club. Portland advertises a water display as a feature of the Rose Show tonight With present weather conditions, this should be a great success. a The steam roller is making a smooth road for Taft's nomination, but there will be plenty of chuck holes left to bother him In the race after wards. Lillian Russell Is married again, and this time it is Moore. As she Is In New York and the happy and brave husband in Chicago, the di vorce proceedings will be somewhat delayed. s Lillian Russell's husband, being an editor, has considerable discretion. As a peaceful honeymoon he chose the Chicago national Republican con vention, In preference to spending It with Lillian. DON'T GET RUN DOWN Wenk and ninernhl.
