10 THE MORXIXG OEEGOmN, FRIDAY, APKILM, 1910. WARREN BILL AIDS IRRIGATION CAUSE Completion of Reclamation Projects Will Be Hurried, Says Ballinger. PLAN IS TO SELL WATER Measure Provides That Secretary of Interior May Help Private Irri gation Enterprises In Building Reservoirs and Ditches. OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash-, Inffton, March 30. If Congress author izes the Secretary of the Interior to co-operate -with irrigation districts or private associations for the construc tion of storage reservoirs, canals and ditches, as provided by the Warren bill, the cause of irrigation will be materially advanced and some projects that now threaten to drag- through many years may be completed -within a year or two. This bill is of vast' Importance to the entire West, and it is generally supported by Western men in Congress. It will hasten the. building of large storage reservoirs In the Yakima Val ley, Washington; It may solve the knotty problem that has arisen on the Malheur project In Eastern Oregon, and. in fact, in every Irrigation state It will lead to the hasty completion of works that are really too large for the Government, alone to handle with facility. Because of the importance of the measure. Its provisions are here quoted lh full: Department May Sell Water. "Section 1. . .That whenever In his Judgment any. part of the water sup ply of any reclamation project can be disposed of so as to promote the rapid and desired development of such proj ect, the Secretary of- the Interior is hereby authorized, ' upon such terms, Including rates and charges, as he may determine Just and reasonable,to conT tract for the delivery of such water to Irrigation systems ' operating under the Carey act, and to corporations, as sociations and irrigation districts or ganized for or engaged in furnishing and distributing water for irrigation. "Delivery of water under such con tracts shall be for the purpose of dis tribution to individual water-users by the party with whom the contract is made; provided, however, that no such water shall be distributed otherwise than as prescribed by law as to lands held in private ownership within Gov ernment reclamation projects.' ' Rates to Cover Cost. "In fixing' rates and charges, to be fixed Jn such contracts for delivery of water to any Irrigation system, corporation, as sociation or district, es herein provided, said secretary shall take into considera tion the cost of construction and main tenance of the reclamation project from which such water is to be furnished. No irrigation system, district, association or corporation so contracting shall make y charge for storage, carriage or de livery of such water in excess of the charge paid by it to the United States except to such extent as may be reason ably necessary to cover cost of carriage and delivery of such water through Its works. Only 160 Acres to Be Supplied. "Sec. 2. That in carrying out the pro visions of said reclamation act and acts amendatory, thereof or supplementary thereto, the Secretary of the Interior is authorized, upon such terms as may be agreed upon, to co-operate with irrigation districts, associations or corporations for the construction of such reservoirs, canals or ditches as may be advantageously used by the Government and Irrigation dis tricts, associations or corporations for impounding, delivering and carrying water for Irrigation purposes, provided that the title to and management of the works so constructed shall be subject to the provisions of section six of such act provided further, that water shall not be lurnished from any such reservoir or de livered through any such canal or ditch to any one landowner in excess of an amount sufficient to irrigate 160 acres. Money to Go Into I-'und. "Sec. S. That the moneys received in pursuance of such contracts shall be con verted into the reclamation fund and be available for use under the terms of the reclamation act and the acts amenda tory thereof or supplemental thereto " The foregoing report has the unquali fied approval of Secretary Ballinger. who In a letter to Senator Carter, chairman of the irrigation committee. strongly urges its approval. In his letter of recommendation the Secretary says: "The object of the first section Is to remove whatever doubt there may be in respect to the question whether the Sec retary of the Interior under the reclam ation act has authority to contract for the delivery of water from Government projects to corporations, companies or irrigation districts in order that they in turn may deliver the same to tracts of lsnd not in excess of IfiO acres and not included within the Government project. Reservoir Sites Few. "The purpose of the second section is obvious to any one who has any knowl edge of conditions in the arid region. It is well known that there are not many available reservoir sites in com parison to the quantity of water avail able for irrigation and in comparison with the amount of land which is cap able of irrigation. In some cases the Government has secured available sites whereon rservolrs may be erected of such dimensions as will Irrigate a much larger area of land than It Is deemed advis able to Include within a Government pro ject. "In the construction of Government reservoir the reclamation fund should only be used to construct it of such di mensions as will impound a quantity of water sufficient to supply the lands with in the Government project. Hence, un less the Secretary can co-operate and contract with companies, associations or districts to the end that reservoirs may be erected of such dimensions as to ir rigate larger areas than the Government has included within its own project, great quantities of lands capable of irrigation will necessarily remain barren. Reclamation Will Be Aided. "Again, the Government may have the only available location where it Is prac ticable to construct a gravity canal from ppndicitis How to Avoid It and Escape a Surgi cal Operation, Told by One Who Knows. A Simple Method That Is Alwayi Effi cacious Trial Package ' Free. It has only been a few years since it was discovered that a surgical opera tion would cure appendicitis; in fact, it has been but a short time since the dis ease was discovered and named. Whenever there is an Inflamed con dition of the appendix, caused by im pacted -faeces in the small cavity open ing into the intestine, you then have appendicitis. The older doctors used to. call this inflammation, of the bowels,, and were puzzled to know the cause. "Even now, .with all the, knowledge we. have, of the disease, no medical man can tell you why we should have an appendix, why we find It where it is, or what are its. functions, if it has any. The disease Jfor which the -operation is a cure is- usually caused by indiges tion, and in many cases follows a large and indigestible meal. Physicians have until recently recom mended an operation, but now, as it is known that it is caused by indigestion, or dyspepsia, a cure without an opera tion is assured. Where the patient is treated with Stuart's Dyspepsia -Tablets, the un healthy conditions prevailing rapidly disappear, the stomach and intestines are placed' back in their normal con dition, every organ of the body oper ates as it should, and the inflamma tion is reduced and the operation, is avoided. - r Conscientious physicians,, who are looking after the best interests of their patients, -will always "keep a supply of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets handy in their office, where in cases -of sudden attacks of indigestion they can 'relieve the patient at once. . -1 - There Is no record of, a case of ap pendicitis where the stomach and bowels were in a healthy condition and properly digested the food from meal to meal. No better advice can be- given to any one who .has attacks of indigestion, or who has been threatened' With' appen dicitis, than to tell him to go to the drug store, pay 50 cents. and take home a package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Whenever heartburn, gas In stomach or bowels, heart -disease or stomach troubles, sour eructations, acidity or fermentation are present, act at once. Take a dose of the Tablets and get re lief as soon as possible. At all druggists 50 cents. Send us your name and address to day and we will at ence send -you by mall a sample package free. Address F.

If It can only construct such canal of such dimensions as will carry a quantity of water to supply lands with in its own' project, a large amount of lands outside which might be Irrigated if the canal were of larger capacity, will remain In arid condition. In my judg ment, if the bill is enacted into law, a much larger area of land may be re claimed than is now possible to reclaim under existing law." BEND TOWNSITE SOLD A. M. BRAKE DISPOSES OF HOLDINGS TO SYNDICATE. Portland Men, Headed by Frank liobertson, "Will Make Many Im provements to Town. 'BEND, Or. March 31. (Special.) De tails of a deal have been practically com pleted, It is announced, whereby the hold ings of the Bend Townsite Company, hitherto exclusively controlled by A, M. Drake, of Portland, have become the property of a Portland syndicate headed by Frank Robertson," of that city. This transfer of property. It is understood, ia the most important that has been made in Central Oregon since the commence ment of the present railroad activities and their accompanying development. The consideration -Is in the neighborhood of 25O.O00. ....... . The property taken over includes all the unsold kts in the present townsite of Bend, about 500 acres - of unplatted land adjacent to the town, the city water plant, and the power, plant and dam on the Deschutes now .in course of construc tion. , . ; The 500 acres adjacent1 to the present townsite have, already been platted and as soon as the plats are accepted at the county seat, Prineville, . the lots will be put on the market.-- The water system is to be greatly enlarged, and already work is in progress toward clearing and grad ing streets in all directions from the cen ter of the town. It is understood that several plans are maturing in regard to the locating of lumber, flouring and other mills at Bend, while a broad plan of publicity will be entered upon whereby much of the great interest now directed upon Central Ore gon will be focused in the direction of Bend. In this regard it is learned from the local boosting organization, the Bend Commercial Club, that arrangements are on foot for the production of a. Bend booklet, in conjunction with the new townsite interests, that will have no peer in Deschutes Valley publicity history. The old Bend townsite owners, the Pilot Butte Development Company, with A. M. Drake as president and chief stockholder, platted the town on May 31, 1904. At that time there were not 10 buildings where now stand 200, and 35 miles of desert plains stretched between the town and Prineville, its nearest neighbor, in which distance are now thousands of settlers and countless farms. U, S. MOVES IN LIBERIA Gunboat to Reinforce Cruiser to Forestall European Action. WASHINGTON, March 31. The situ ation in Liberia is giving rise to appre hension here. The attack by native tribes upon the English factory and the Llberlan troops would in itself be dan gerous to the existence of the little re public.

Such intervention the State Department is resolved to prevent.
