Government Ready to Take Up Pro
Ject If Carey Irrigation Fatlt.
Washington, May 5. Information
which reaches Washington indicaltes
that the reclamation service 'may yet
have an opportunity to irrigate in the
Deschutes valley in Eastern Oregon.
At the time the national irrigation law
was passed the reclamation service was
anxious to build an irrigation service
along the Deschutes, but found that
private enterprise had entered the fiVd
and was already operating or preparing
to operate under the Carey act. Had
it not been for this fact, the govern
ment would today be completing an ir-
igation system that would irrigate far
t .-.t. Ml
more Una in me inecnuies man win
ever he reclaimed by private enter
prise, and would prolably have been
able to turn the water into the canals
not later than the coming fall or win
ter.
f private capital should decide to
withdraw from the Deschutes valley,
the government would be very glad to
enter that field, buy up what works
have already been constructed, and
enter upon the irrigation of a much
larger area than is now internded to be
reclaimed. But the government is not
going to make any advances. Nor will
it uav fancy prices for such works as
have been constructed by private capi
tal.
The situation in the Deschutes coun
try is not altogether similar to that in
Klamath basin. In the Deschutes, so
far as known, the community is satis
fied to have its lands irrigated by pri
vate capital, notwithstanding private
capital will reclaim only the cream,
and leave forever barren a large tract
that would be irrigated by the govern
ment. In the Klamath basin public
sentiment is a unit in favor of govern
ment as against private irrigation.
This much is to be said: If private
capital goes ahead and completes its ir
Titration system according to present
plans, tne government will never go in
and reclaim the outstanding lands
Private interests are promising to irri
gate only lands which can be watered
at a minimum cost ; the government
will not follow and undertake to irri
gate adjoining lands where the cost will
be excessive unless it can have the en
tire field to itself. One of the prime
objects of government irrigation is to
reclaim lands in large areas, combining
cheap with expensive work, so as to
make the average cost within the reach
of the settler. The government is not
taking up extremely expensive works;
it cannot afford to; it is only irrigating
where it knows it can recover the ex
penditure.

START WORK ON UPPER LOCK
TRIPLE ALLIANCE FOR PEACE
French See France, United States and
Britain Thus Combined.
Paris, May 4. The Temps in a lead
ing article today discusses Ambassador
McCormlck'e remarks to President
Loubet yesterday on the presentation
of the former's credentials as being
timely reassurances of the strong rela
tions anitina the two countries. The
paper says:
"The ambassador referred to tht
Franco-American alliance as being
stronger than if inscribed in treaties,
and then by an initiative which is
worthy of emphasis he expressed satis
faction with the Anglo-French rap
prochement. It is not habitual for
third powers to be mentioned in cere
monies of this kind, and this makes
the ambassador's allusion to Anglo
French friendship more significant."
The Temps adds that the friendship
thus indicated between France and the
United States and France and Great
Britain, is susceptible of developing
into a triple understanding for the ben
efit of the participants and the peace
of the world.
The Journal des Debate also devotes
a leading- article to Minister McCor
mack't speech.
Approval of Title to Right of Way by
Attorney General Now Oniy
Preliminary Necettary.
Washington, May Construction
of The Dalles-Celilo canal will probab
ly commence in June. General Mac
kemie, chief of army engineers, today
approved Major 1-angtltt'i plan for
starting work on the upper end. He
also submitted to the attorney general
the title to the right of way which the
state of Oregon has presented to the
government. The abstract of title hav
ing been previously examined and ap
proved, it is presumed the title will be
found satisfactory and accepted. The
law authorising construction ot the
canal stipulates that no work shall be
done until title to the right of way and
release from damage has been convey
ed to the United States free of cost.
If the attorney general ai ts promptly
and accepts title, instructions will be
sent to Maior LanKfitt to advertise for
bids for the work which he outlines in
his project. In general terms Major
Langfltt 's plan conforms to the general
plan laid down by the board which
drew up the canal project. He, how
ever, found it necessary to make an im
portant change. The ordinal plan lo
cated the first lock at the upper en
trance. When soundings were made,
it was found that it would be imposti-
ble to get a rock foundation for a heavy
lock at that point, so the lock has been
located 1,900 feet down the canal, and
the entrance will be gnardod by flood
gates not contemplated in the original
plans. These gates will be used in
time of high water to keep the sediment
brought down by the river from enter
tng and obstructing the canal.
Until bids are received it is not
known just how much progress can be
made with the funds available. There
is now on hand $158,170 remaining
from the old boat railway appropria
tion, and the lat session ot congress
appropriated $50,000 cash and author
ized contracts for I250,uu0 additional,
making a total of $458,170 with whicl
to begin work. Major Langfitt's plan
contempla es the expenditure of only
about $375,000 of this amount, he
deeming it expedient to have some re
serve until a further appropriation is
made.
TWINE TRUST DECLARES WAR
Garfield Has a Carbuncle.
Los Angeles, May 5. United States
Commissioner of Corporations James
R. Garfield, who arrived in Southern
California Monday to investigate the
oil condition of this section, is suffer
ing severely from a carbuncle and is
temporarily hampered in pursuing his
investigations. Both the Santa Fe and
Southern Pacific railway companies
have thrown open their offices and rec
ords to the commissioner and his assist
ants. When he goes from here to Tex
as he will leave two assistants behind,
who will continue the investigation.
Attempts to Take Away Trade of )he
Coast Manufacturer!.
San Francisco, May 6. The Call to
morrow will say :
A great fight is on for the market for
binding twine on the Pacific coast. On
one side are arrayed the Portland Cord
age company and the Tubbs Cordage
company, of this city, home manufac
turers of cord ace and twine. On the
other side are the International liar
vester company and its leading agen
cies on the Pacific coast, the trouble all
coming from an attempt, as reported
on the part of the International liar
vester company to take away the trade
completely from the Tubbs Cordage
company and the Portland Cordage
company.
Deprived of the agencies of the In
ternational Harvester company to mar
ket their goods, the program of the
coast manufacturers is to market on
their own account, through retailers
through agents of their own employ
and in any other feasible way.
Violent Strike of Collarmakert.
Troy, N. Y., May 6. A crowd which
at times numbered 4,000 or 5,000 per
sons, surrounded the collar factory of
Cluett, Peabody & Co. yesterday where
a strike had been inaugurated by the
collar starchers. Disturbances were
frequent. Those still U work were
kicked or beaten as they entered or left
the factory, and several workers had
their clotthing torn off. Police and
deputy sheriffs were cowed, and there
was talk of calling for troops. The
strike is against alleged cuts in wages
and the installation of machines.
Bombmakert Arretted.
London, May 5. A dispatch from St.
Petersburg to a news agency here says
that a dozen men have been arrested in
a joiner's workshop who are suspected
of being bombmakers. Several infern
al mahcinta, the dispatch adds, were
found in the shop.
