The Markets
MMIMMMI 4
The trado in the midlde states and
the east is showing more than usual in
terest in the new pack of prunes
especially Italians. The crop in the
northwest last year was light and the i
hold-over from. 1912 was small. All
of the 1913 pack went into the hands j
or jooners at goou prices ana reiaiiers
were left with light supplies when the
Wfirket was cleaned up. Jobbers are
already making offers for the 1914
crop, but growers are shy and refuse
to make any contracts uiir.il tho
weather settles, and a certain esti
mate of the crop can be made. Tha
poultry market is steady and firm.
Hens sold yesterday at IS cents and
broilers were in demand at 30. Eggs
Tefuse to leave the 19 cent market
though a few sales were reported at!
half a cent below that. But few
ordors are on tho market for hops and
the price is about 17 cents.

authority in me vested, I, Oswald
West, governor, . do hereby set apart
and proclaim Saturday, April eigh
teenth, nineteen hundred and fourteen,
as Fire Prevention Day and most
earnestly request that meotings of citi
zens, civic bodies, local , improvement
clubs, schools and citizens individual
ly take time on this day to study
means of fire prevention and to re
move, ina&far as possible, all direct or
indirect causes which bight lead to
fires or render them more difficult to
extinguish. -1 '
I would Buggest t
First. That citizens remove all
waste paper, boxes, sawdust, oily rags,
clothing and rubbish of every kind
from alleyways, barns, sheds, attics
and cellars and that special attention
be given to the cleaning of chimneys
and the care and repair of furnaces
and stoves.
Second. That merchants and fac
tory owners remove from passageways
and stairways packing cases, stock,
etc., that would block action in case
of fire and whose presence in the
night time particularly would make
fire fighting dangerous or impossible.
Third. That hunters and campers
carefully study- the recommendations
and instructions issued by the State
Forester in the matter of forest fire
prevention.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereun
to set my hand and caused the seal
of the State of Oregon to be hereunto
affixed this sixteenth day of April.

GATION PROJECT TO . TAKE
WATER OUT OF DES CHUTES
RIVER. '
The following is a letter written by
Governor Oswald ' West to the Dese't
Land Board with regard to the Mor
son project:
1 April 13, 1914.
Desert Land Board Gtentlenveoi.
Referring to the Carey Act Project of
the Des Chutes Land Company and tho
recent report upon its condition by
State Engineer Lewis, I wish to cail
the Board's attention to the following.
This iroiect covers, in round num
bers, 30,000 acres, and is divided intoj
tbe wevt and east side units. Toe
west side tract covers, in round num
bers, 10,000 acres, tbe east side, 20,000
acres. ; '
As I understand the situation, there
is sufficient water available from the
ordinary flow of the particular fork
of the Des Chutes from which the
water is taken, to irrigate the west
side tract. It is necessary, however
in order to water the east side tract,
to supplement the flow of the Dej
Chutes Lake as a reservoir.
' Mr. Lewis points out in his report,
that an expenditure of a little over
$37,000 would place the said west sidn
tract, or 10,000 acres, under water.
This would leave, "r-dwever, the east
side tract, or 20,000 fccres, yet without'

Daddy's Bedtime
ory-
How the
Dragon
Helped Billy.
Ate All the Goodies
He Could Get.
TTIE children were quite tired, for they had both been for a very long
walk. "
"Well," said daddy, "you ought to be thankful thnt neither of you
Is very fat, for then yon would come home all out of breath and nil
tired out much more tired thnn you are now. In fact, you could not take
these Ions walks at all If you were like a little boy I have In mind.
"Billy was very, very fat, and, oh, so lazyl Tbe reason he was so fat was
because be ate everything he wanted. lie used to spend every penny be ever
got all on himself, and he always bought candy.
"When supper time came he reully made himself very sick over Jnm, for
be always persisted In eating loads and loads of Jam and would not even
spread it on his toast, but would eat it plain out of a spoon.
"He got so he became very lazy, and that was something he had never
beeu before. He had always been fond of exercise and games, walking and
running.
"One afternoon he went to a party. He was very disagreeable and
wouldn't play any games at all. He simply sat In a corner nnd waited until
supper time came. Then he ate all tbe ice cream, all the candy and all tbe
cake that he could get hold of. None of the other children went near blin, for
they didn't care about a little boy who only cared about eating sweets all the
time.
"That night Billy felt very bad when he went to bed. But he soon fell
asleep. In his sleep, though, a great horned dragon appeared and snld to him;
" 'Billy, It's for your sake I'm comlufr here tonight. We dragons aren't
nearly so dreadful as we're made out to be. We take a great Interest In chil
dren, and I am going to take a great Interest in you.
" 'Rtfore you mude such a little yes, I must say It a little plgglewlg of
yonraelf you were a very nice little boy. But now you're fat and lazy. So
every night I shall chase you around In your dreams until you give tip entlng
so much jnm nnd candy and until you once more enjoy pluylng around with
the other little boys and girls. I don't care for a little boy who Is oU by him
self all the time entlng and doing nothing, else. So I'll have to play games
with you for awhile.'
" "Ob, please don't'.' said Billy, who wns terrified.
"'Tea,' said the dragon; 'I'm a good friend of yours, nnd I shall make you
real boy ngatn. In n few weeks you really won't know yourself.'
"With that he was gone, but he kept hl9 word, and every night chased
Billy around In his dreams until he gave up entlng nothing but sweets and
took exercise, played games and became a real boy again." .
water, and dependent for same upon
the construction of the Crescent Lake
reservoir, and an extension of tho
canals necessary to serve the lands.
While it is impossible to secure
definite information upon the subject,
owing to the fact that the board has
Hailed to require, and Mr. Moraon to
supply, a list of options or water
rights sold, I am quite certain that it
will be found that thc said options
sold cover lands upon tho east side
project, and that the money received
from these purchasers has been ex
pended towards the completion of tho
west side tract, and from which they
would receive little or no direct
benefit.
If Mr. Morson's company Is given
an extension of time without taking
these matters into consideration, and
the purchasers of the options given
some protection, tho following will un
doubtedly result: .
Sufficient money will be collected
from the options sold upon tho said
east side lands to complete the west
side project. This would give Morson
in the neighborhood of 10,000 acres of
unsold lands with an authorized lien
of $36.00 per acre. Owing to tho ex
tension of time, he would receive, ho
could hang the balance of tho project
upon the hook for at least the time
given by the extension of his contract,
and in the meantime disposo of the
west end track for - the sum of
$360,000.
If he saw fit to expend any of tho
money towards the construction of tho
Crescent Lake reservoir and other
works necessary to irrigate tho eait
side unit, the holders of options on
lands in tho said tract would profit
to that extent, but if he decided to
walk off with tho money, ho would
be in position to do eo, and without
fear of prosecution or of having tho
state or any one else recover a single
dollar through a civil action.
Before an extension is granted, tho
bonrd should require:
1st. A new contract should bo made
subject to existing laws.
2nd. A reasonable bond should be
required to guarantee tho completion
of tho project.
3rd. A libt of the options sold
should bo demanded, in order that the
hoard nuny hnve a inscription of th j
lauds sold, an if it is found that tho
snles cover lands in the east side unit,
that provisions bo n.iide for tho sub
stitution of lauds from tho west side
tract.
Trusting that these suggestions will
receive courteous consideration, I am.
' yours very truly,
Oswald West, Governor.

Seizing a hand extinguisher, he com
mandeered a. rcotorcyclo and by speed

to put out the fire without much dam

departments of both Portland and San
Francisco.
The members of the central fire de
partment are expecting the ne auto
pumper to arrive from the east about
the middlo of next June. The machine
is long overdue, and the city council is
anxiously waiting for it. There ia a
great demand for the horses now used
on the steamer, owing to the fact that
the street department is shy on horse
tlesh, and the sooner the machino driv
en pumper is delivered the quicker tho
street department can clear up the long
neglected streets.
It seems improbable that there will
be much of that Winter's estate left
for anybody by the time the litigatiou
is over.

Delicious "Fruit Laxative" Can't
Harm Tender Little Stomach,
Liver and Bowels.
Every mother realizes, after giving
her chilordcn "California hyrup of
Figs" that this is their ideal laxative,
because tney love its pleasant taste and
it thoroughly cleanses tho tender little
stomach, liver and bowels without grip
ing. When cross, irritable, feverish or
breathe is bad, stomneh sour, look nt
thit tr-ogue, raothet! If coated, give a
teaspoonful of this harmless "iruit
luxntivo," and in a few hours nil the
foul, constiputed wnste, sour bile nnd
undigested food passes out of the
bowels, nnd you havo a well, playful
child nguin. When its little system is
full of cold, throat sore, has stomach
ache, diurrhoca, indigestion, colic rc
memhr, a good "inside cleansing"
should always be tho first treatment
given.
Millions of mothers keep "Ciflifor
nia Byrup of Figs" handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask your druggist for a 50
cent bottle of "Cnlifornia fyrup of
Figs," which has directions for babies,
children of all ages and grnwn-ups
printed on the bottle. Beware of
counterfeits sold here, so don 't bo
