CANAL WORK BY NEW YEAR Government Will Begin Work as Soon as Settlers Comply With Conditions Will Water 250,000 Acres. SALEM. Aug. 24. (Special.) "The con struction of the Klamath Irrigation Sys tem Is a practical certainty," said State Treasurer Moore today upon his return from a two weeks visit to Klamath County. "Of course there is a hare possi bility that the project will fail, but the 0ucceP3 of the enterprise is as certain as Clatters of that kind can be at this stage of the proceedings. The Government has required that 7B per cent of the property owners within the terrtiories to be cover ed by the system shall sign agreements for the sale of their land in excess of 160 acres, before construction shall begin. My confidence in the success of the en terprise is due to my confidence that the property owners will sign the required agreements. In other words. I think the people who own property in the district will see that it is to their own financial Interest to make the agreements. "The requirement Is that the property owners execute trust deeds for all their land in excess of 100 acres. The trust deeds provide that the owner shall sell his land to settlers In tracts of not to exceed 160 acres each, or. that if he falls to dispose of it before the Govern, roent has water ready to turn upon it, the Secretary of the Interior may sell it in 160-acre tracts to the highest bidders, giving the ownor the proceeds of the sale. I believe this is a reasonable requirement, and that the land owners as a rule will so regard It "It Is the intention of the Reclamation Service to let a contract for the con struction of the first section of the sys tem as soon as 75 per cent of the property owners reached by that section have signed the agreements. I expect to see this accomplished and a contract let for the construction of the first ten miles of canal, including 4,000 feet of tunnel, before the first of the year. "It seems to me to be a good plan to construct the canal in sections and put the land upon the market a little at a time, for that will enable the property owners to sell to the best advantage. If all tho surplus land in the 250,000 acres to be reached by tho system were thrown upon the market at once. It would be more difficult to soil at a fair price. "As I understand the Government's plans, those who do not sign the required agreements will be unable to secure water Tor their land. By later complying with the requirements they can secure water rights, but they will be required to pay a slightly higher rate In order to place them upon an equality with thoss who paid earlier. If "5 per cent of the prop erty pays the cost of constructing the sys tern, the money paid by the other 25 per cent later will go to the 75 per cent to reimburse them for the excess they were compelled to pay. "Matters of this kind take time, and I am not surprised that the people take plenty of time to think It over before signing agreements. In the end, however, I am satisfied they will see that they cannot sell their land to advantage or use it themselves unless they have water rights, and since they cannot get the -water rights without complying with the Government requirements, they will fall In line and all will be working in the common cause of securing the construc tion of an Irrigation system which means immense development to the resources of the Klamath country." CONTRACTORS WANT MONEY Goss Construction Company Asks for Extras on Olypmia Capitol. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Aug. 24. (Special.) Claims for additional extras In the con struction of the State Capitol amounting to 511,372.48 have been submitted by the Gosb Construction Company, of Tacoma, to Attorney-General John D. Atkinson, With the request that the Items be re ferred to a committee composed of the Attorney-General, Secretary of State and Governor. The contractors maintain that the ex tras now claimed were not involved In the litigation over other extras, which result ed early in the year in a partial victory for the contractors. This Judgment has "been paid. The new claims involve a number of matters in roof construction and roof extras not on the detail plans tearing down stone work, recuttlng of stone arches, refitting of steel work, con necting corridors of old and new build ings, plastering basement and minor matters. For the purpose of securing a settle ment, the company agrees to waive an other claim for operating expenses during two years delay in finishing the contract, for which It is claimed the Capitol Com mission and architect are responsible.

Aug. 24. (Special.) Ac cording to private telegraphic advices re ceived hero today there has been a cut made by the Alaska Packers' Association on certain grades' of salmon, but the re duction is not of so serious a nature as has been reported. Some weeks ago the association fixed its opening figures on Alas"ka reds at 51 a dozen, and a few sales were made at that price. On last Saturday a report was current that the association had cut the price to 85 cents per dozen, and last evening telegrams were received from Eastern brokers as serting not only that the cut had been made but that all the bookings made at 51 are to be filled at the lower rate. Ad vices received today, however, show that while the reported cut is partially true, it does not affect this year's pack of red fish. The Alaska Packers' Association has quite a quantity of last year's fish on hand, and it has quoted a rate of S5 cents per dozen on 1504 red fish, and on this year's Fall fish, which means the lower grades of Alaska salmon. The as sociation, in place of cutting the price on the 1S05 pack, is said to have withdrawn ita holdings from the market for the present. There have also been reports telegraphed about the country that some of the Independent companies have been making sales of reds as low as 3 cents per dozen. This Is strenuously denied by those Interested, and the lowest sales of ficially announced are at So cents. Just 5 cents per dozen below the association's opening figures.

Ackerman and Chief Justice Charles H. Wolverton. of the Supreme Court, will be candidates for renomination to succeed themselves in their respective offices. No opposition has developed to either of them, nor has there been any talk of other men as probable aspirants for the nomination against them. Both are serv ing their second terms, but their friends have urged that the rule against a third term does not apply to Judicial and edu cational offices, which are nonpolltical. Nomination for a third term In a Judicial or educational office has been frequent in this state and this fact, together with the general approval which has been ac corded their official acts has led them to stand for renomination in response to the advice of their friends. Should any contest be made In the direct primary, each will run upon the record made dur ing the two terms already served. NORTHWEST DEAD. Astoria Engineer Dies. ASTORIA, Or., Aug. 24. (Special.)
