A Thrutft Al Irrigation
E. Joi-KKAt:-Mr. E. 15. Pnn,
formerly an official in the United
States Weather Bureau, in a
recent article iu the Washington
Star, advances the rather Ptnrtl'mji
theory that the severe hot spell
which oecured in the Middle West
Uet Jnlv was duo to the increased
area now under irrigation along
the east slope of the IuH'ky Moun
tain. Mr. Dunn puts the blame
for the burning up of the corn crop
on the shoulders, of the irrgation
companies, and the email farmers
who are trying to make the desert
bring forth substance for
man and beast, und ho argues
that the fanner who raises
small crops by the means of mi
ration must be suppressed that the
farmer who raises large crops with
out irrigation may prosper.
He says that low pressure, trough
shaped, areas occupy this semi-arid
region and that the moisture ev
aporated from the soil is commen
surated for their existence but in
sufficient to propel them onward,
and warm .nr is thus drawn from
the south which for days at a time
flows over tha corn belts end with
ers the crops.
This theory is illogical and is
condemned by the Entire scientific
staff of the Weather Bureau. It
is, in fact unwourthy of serious
consideration and its publication
is calculated td injure the cause of
irrigation not only in eastern Ore
gon but in all of the rapid growing
states in the sub-arid west.
Tha weather of the United States
is controlled by the passage of low
and heig h pressure area3 and
these disturbances are carried east
ward by the general movement of
the upper atmosphere. The gen
eral movement of the upper atmos
phere is controlled by the differ
ence in temperature between the
Poles of the Equator. When these
differences, as to the winter time
are great, the upper currents move
rapidly but when they are slight,
as i3 the case during the midsum
mer season, they move slowly and
etroic times bceorrfO stagnent. Last
July the upper air currents were
sluggish and the heigh and
low presure areas drifted very
slowly, and their inactions was
not in any way caused by the
moisture clement they contained.
fcWeril droughts and heat waves
have oecured in the past long be
fore irrigation was practiced and
they may be e xpected in the future
as long as the difference between
the temperatures at the Poles and
the Equator decreases, in the sum
mer time, as it does now, and no
efforts on the part of man can
change this order of events.

A late dispatch from Paris savs:
The great prominence given to the
military and navy features of the
Car's visit is explained by the fact
' that five years ago riclwls II came
here as a friend, while to iiy he
is here as the ally, and in his later
capacity he 13 following out his
own strong personal desire to be
come familiar with the French army
and navy. Ind'jed during the
morning's outing in the field the
minoeuvres the Czar galloped
dixit aonung his troops regardless
of prescribed arrangement of pro
tocol, and made close examanaf ions
i f snuadrons, companies and bat
teries at his own free will, and this
personal inspection of the French
tidier in th'i'r campaigning k't
evidently gave Emperor Nicholas
freit satisfaction. Meanwliile all
fircign officers who have followed
the present m;.in:;vr..as do not
hesitate to declare that never lias
toe French army been in more effi
cient conditon than at present,
