Funis ii Athanumc Ropra THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION THE NEXT STEP Before the next issue of the Jour nal is off the press the Oohoco Pro ject reservoir will be full and over flowing, marking the completion of the plan for fully reclaiming the lands north and west of this city. It has been a task which required a large amount of money, and days of hard work on the part of those far-sighted enough to see the value in this project. We are proud to say that the first agitation tar the creation of the dis trict was printed in the Journal, and that through the thick of the fight, through war financial depression -and all the .various elements with which the district has had to con tend, the Journal has been well to the fore in the march which has leal to the present satisfactory condi tion, in so far as the project is con cerned. Tet the fight is but half won. From tabulations covering the his tory of like projects in all parts ot the world, two instances of which were recently printed in the Journal, we find that the average size for a farm in irrigation districts is but 40 acres, and we find also that from this estimate, we are in need of 300 or 400 more families for the project This is not a theory, it is a fact that no intelligent man can dispute, and proof is ample for the most skeptical. What is being done to secure these people? Not a thing, in so far as the community is concerned. Considerable real results are be ing secured by private interests in this direction, but it seems that the time has arrived for concerted ac- tion on the part of the community Complete settlement of the pro- Ject would be the greatest factor in improving conditions, in Prineville as well as the surrounding country.

CLOSSET A DEVERS WEEK OF FEBRUARY 28 TO MARCH 5 A Pienr Oregon Cmmpmny LUCKY Strike cigarette UfctV OCHOCO 1AM PKRFECT, SAYS F.XIUXF.KU WII.F.Y (Continued' from page 1) will be largely decreased, if not en tirely taken up by evaporation. It will naturally become less with time and probably will not be noticeable in next year's filling. With the above exception there is no seepage at all through any part ot the dam. As usually happens, however, in earth dams the mater ial upon which the dam is built is much less tight than the dam itself. The foundation at the south end, across the bottom and about one third way up the north end of the dam, is tight and the seepage thru it is very slight. The material under the upper part of the north end ot the dam is A mixture of rock of all sizes, more or less compactly filled with finer ma terial. This material la not water placed and is not water tight. Water from the reservoir enters it above the dam and escapes in the form of large springs below the dam. This section was quite apparent during the partial filling ot last seas and and is more pronounced with the present higer reservoir level. It will no doubt continue to increase until the reservoir reaches its maxi mum level, and will decrease with the falling reservoir. There does not seem to be any feasible method cf preventing the passage of water into this formation which extends quite a distance up the valley above the dam, though it could he reduced by blanketing the pervious slopes with material washed down from the slopes above the high water line. At certain points the water can be sten passing into the side hill.' As the water recedes with the falling reservoir all such places should be opened up and puddled full of the adjacent gravelly soil. Some hy dralic blanketing would have a very beneficial effect if undertaken at an early date so that it could follow the falling water as the reservoir is drawn down. The puddling action of the waves upon the slopes will also have a good effect in silting up and tight ening the surface and there will be also a gradual compacting of the whole mass ot material through wnicn tne water la passing so mat there will also be a gradual tighten ing effect from natural causes. The material ot the side hill against which .the north end ot the dam is. built, and through which th) heavy seepage is taking place, is such a mixture of angular rock frag ments of all sties from the very fin est dust up to blocks several cubic yards in volume that, though It per mit the passage ot water quite free- ly tt also resists erosion ana auoas the water to escape In springs Issu ing from the side hill below the dan without damage. Some protection should, however, be given the toe ot the dam by rip-rapping at points to prevent the stream flowing from the springs from cutting into the base ot the dam. A comparison of the computed ra pacity of the reservoir and the quan tity flowing in the streams by which it is fed shows that the reservoir Is unusually tight and that practically the only losses aside from avapora tlon are the visible springs in the country formations at the north end of the dam. Conclusions I consider from my examination that the reservoir is unusually tight and will satisfactorily hold back the surplus spring and winter floods with a minimum ot loss for use In the summer irrigation. I find that the reservoir dam is in safe and stable condition aud can be depended upon to safely serve Its purpose. I am satisfied that the springs, in dicating the porous nature ot thj canyon slopes near the top ot t'ie dam at the south end, .are in no sense a menace to the dam and that they will naturally became smaller with each successive filling ot the reservoir. .

The funeral services for Mr. Frank Post who died from bronchial pneumonia, was held at the real dence at 10:30 Wednesday morning, and interrment was made in the Prineville cemetery. A' shower of lilies rested on the casket, a token of love from the Alfalfa community, also a like token from the Jolly Neighbors' Club, and the K. of P. lodge of Prineville. In the gray case of wood, unmindful of sighs aud tears, was sleeping one who had known the storms and snows of life: but the peace of the ages had come to Martha Post. t Mrs. Rae Leonard was taken to ' Eend Monday, where she could ob i tain medical attention for a severe cold, which threatened bronchial pneumonia.

Oregon's, pioneer missionaries, Mr. and Mrs. W, E. lluiubo, formerly of linker, aud tor many years engaged In missionary work in India and the Near East countries, have returned to the United States on furlough. News of their return has been received by State Manager J. J. Handsaker, In charge of the combined ChluuNear Kast relief campaigns for the state, in a telegram from New York, where the Rambos landed a tew days ago. Throughout the Near East, the mes sage states, everything is "generally amuck," with little prospect ot Im provement until definite action is taken by the Allies In regard to the Turk-ridden nations. Conditions In Greece and the Caucasus are touched upon, with details of the appalling sit uation at Batoum, where the veteran missionaries have spent several months among the 16,000 Greek refu gees surviving from the thriving Cau casus colony located there before the war. The Rambos were on their way home last fall and had reached Con stantinople, when the cull came for them to go to Batoum and aid the refugees there until the latter could be brought bark to Salonika, where the Greek government is endavorlng to make some sort of provision for re turning Grecian refugees. In letters written from Batoum, re cently received by Mr. Handsaker, the Rambos tell of thousands ot families being huddled together in rain-soaked tents and abandoned barracks, beset with typlms and other diseases, half naked and starving. "And 10,000 more refugees are on their way here from Kars," the tetter concludes. "These are now in the snow-covered mountains, and aa many as can pull through will soon be here. What we shall do then we do not know. Everything here Is unsettled and disturbing. It is con sidered certain that the Nationalists or the Bolsbevikl, or both, will soon take the city and no one knows what will result." In a later letter they speak of the arrival of a ship to take back a load ot refugees for repatria tion and the joy It brought to the camp, although the Salonika camp to which they were bound could offer little additional in the way of food, clothing or other relief. Previous letters, written from the Near East, tell of the enforced flight j "at the wlhm of a Turkish official,"! of the Rambos and 200 little orphans! In their charge. They had to leave at moment's notice and In the dark, traveling all night on foot and carry-: ing their own blankets, clothing and everything else they possessed. They were allowed no lights and were told not to speak above a whisper, aa tnur derous Turks were running riot all along the way. After l .milling along through water and over rocks for hours, they reached the railroad sta tion at day break, exhausted but with out the loss of one of the 20(1 children, but none too soon, for with the com ing of light the Turks discovered what was afoot and began firing upon them from the hill sides, the little caravan of exhausted children and missionaries making the last hundred yards through hall of bullets. The Rambos conducted their 200 charges, with many adventures and hardships, to safety within the walls of a British Relief station, and turned homeward, slopping over for a day for rest at Adana. While they slept, exhausted, the Turks tore up the rail roads leading to and from Adana, and left them marooned In the hot, dusty, besieged city. They awoke to find bullets breaking through their walls and whistling all around them. With Miss Grane, a young American relief worker, they finally started from Adana- In' a Near Kast Ford, Joining a refugee caravan and fleeing south ward. Thy were shot at repeatedly and at a dangerous pass waited three hours before daring to attempt the run across an open space. At last with Mrs. Ham ho and Miss Grane lashed to the running board of the Ford, behind a barricade of baggage on the opposite side from the heaviest firing, and Rambo himself at the; wheel, with baggage piled high all around him to ward off the bullets, they made the rush, "driving like Jehu for two miles," until beyond the aim of the bandits." After many other stren uous experiences they made they way to Constantinople, going from there to Batoum for several months, thence home to the United -States.
