a fair average price, this land can
not he worth less than llou per acre.
With the final Improvement of all
lands near the project, tt Is believed
the average price of land would be
little less, and p'ossibly more, which
would mean an actual iproperty value
of 110,000,000 for Improved farming
lands alone
Other Vauc KquaV .
It la held hy high financial and sta
tistical authorities that all other val
uations will equal that of the farms,
this estimate being the value of the
town and railroad properties and
other property not distinctively farm
properly and dependent upon It nnd
developed with the Improvement of
the lands.
The $2,700,000 which will be spent
on a h iprdjeot will be spent In the
Malheur valley. This amount many
times exceeds the present value of
ad the property In the Irrigable re
gion. Ten per cent. Interest on thlB
amount for one day Is just $700, and
It Ib euslly seen that every duy'a poBt
amement of the project means a loss
of $700 per day to the valley.
The estimate of $SO per acre as
fhe cost of the project will be met by
Ihe "water users under the act by the
payment of $? per acre per year for
ten years. Another, and a good bus
iness view of the proposition Is that
$30 paid In this way Is equivalent of
a cash payment of little more than
$20, counting Interest at 10 per cent.
which la the prevailing rate now In

When tlie Wool Market (k-iis in
Uie Spring.
It is reported that the 1905 "wool
clip of Wallowa county, Is being con
tracted at from 16 to 18 cents per
pound and that a large proportion
of the clip Is already sold at those
figures.
Buyers are scouring the country In
every direction and the keenest com
petition among buyers and commis
sion companies exists.
In speaking of the wool situation
in Umatilla county, A. H. Sunderman,
the -Well known sheepman, says:
"Owing to the scarcity of wool in
the markets of the world and espec
ially In the markets of the United
States, wool prices and sheep prices
promise to be excellent next year, no
matter who is elected president.
"The Influence of the election Is
not being felt Irt the market; the
high prices are caused now and will
be caused next year by the need of
wool by the scarcity of the commod
ity In the wool centers.
"The old wool Is all sold out of
the commission warehouses in the
markets, new avenues of trade are
consuming greater quantities of wool
and the narrowing range area is re
ducing the wool clip in different wool
producing districts each year, so the
prospect for good prices is entirely
Independent of the election or its re
sult. Neither party can increase the
visible wool supply of the world nor
check the increasing demand for
wool, as population increases.
"So far, there is not a pound of
wool contracted In Umatilla county,
and I hope there will not be. The
wool of this county has been of so
much value to the wooIgTowera, that
I hope It will be sacredly regarded
hereafter and not a pound of wool
sold outside of tt."
