(Contlnned From First Page.) chased at the Jewelry stora and some gold was given In exchange. These facta were all reported to ths officers and to Stev ConnelU who has been actively engaged on ths case for more than a year. While officers declare positively that they have never suspected George 81ms. father-in-law of Barrett, of being In any way connected with the case and that he waa probably In Ignorance of the complicity of his son In the bullion robbery. It was nevertheless believed that Barrett had cached ths bullion either on the Sims place or ths Im mediate vicinity. Lesg Search Rewarded. Ths finding of the bullion is the fru ition of a search conducted over a year ago. In ths course of which Portland detectives. Federal agents and private detectives hovered on the very edge of the discovery, and at last gave up when the scent grew cold. For weeks the farm near Mehama, where the loot was burled, was under close scrutiny and Mrs. Pearl Barrett, wife of the man who has revealed the deposit and the daughter of the owner of the farm, was questioned hour after hour without re sult. A news story In Ths Oregonian at that time told of the existing be lief that the gold was burled near Sa lem. Officers who have been working on ths case do not believe that Barrett hag made a complete revelation, as there remains much of his "cut" of ths loot to be accounted for. The 15 pounds so far recovered are estimated to be worth about IS0OO. and unlesa the con spiracy that preceded the robbery was much more extensive than Is supposed. Barrett must bave received a larger share than this. While It Is reported that be told of another hiding place In distant city. It Is believed that ha has reserved something for himself when he comes out of ths penitentiary before a year has gone. Carl a ess Ol yea Tia, It was Orvllle Cavlnees, the San Quentin prisoner, who gave ths "tip" which led to Barrett's confession. Cav Ineaa, after a long wait, waa sentenced recently to nerve a year in the Cali fornia penitentiary and. deprived of his customary drug, easily waa prevailed upon to make a confession. When Instrlct Attorney Cameron was at San Francisco seeking the extradition of Louis J. Wilde, he waa Informed of the fact that Ca vine as waa expected to weaken, and when he did so the Dis trict Attorney and Governor West wer notified. Armed with the Information thus obtained, they aucceeded In get ting the atatement from Barrett. With the confession of Barrett, ths officers have been able to construct a continuous story of the handling of th bullion from the time it waa put ashore In tian Francisco. Orvllle Cavl- ness. who la a drug-user, waa caught In company with two other drug-users and a v. oraan who consorted with htm. peddling part of the bullion In Man Francisco In small quantities. lie was arrested and convicted. The arrest of Cavlnees waa a broad hint to Portland detectives, as Detec tives Hellyer and Moloney knew that h had been In Portland, accompanied by Charlea Barrett, both known as bunco men. The pair were traced to ths door of James E Wbealen's loon who later was caught by ths Federal authorities, transmitting bul lion to the San Francisco mint. Fur ther Inquiry brought out the fact that the bullion was doposlted In Whealen'a saloon and later was transferred to another saloon, on Washington street. Portland. At that point the detectives lost their last definite trace of It, but they learned that Barrett's wife had been with her mother on th farm, a i 1 11 oi l rj : , , . r ' -; .. rJ ( : r . , j - " i - i : i rr i( -V' i l I C '. . .

Officers have seen him on the streets of Portland within th last few days, and have Informa tion that he haa been endeavoring to lead a straight life. Saylor first ob tained a criminal rating when he was sent up from Astoria In 1904 for lar ceny from the person. In 1S0S he was arrested by Detectives Hellyer and Moloney for circulating Confederate bills, in company with "Doc" Sheehan. on Darcy, Frank Cavlneas and other. all professional confidence men. who were held by th Federal authorities but escaped conviction on a technical point. Later la th sam year. Saylor was arrested by th same officers as a vagrant and was ordered out of the city. His father, they say, served as a Juror In th recent trial of Folic Ser geant Cole In Portland. Frank Cavlneas, after his operations with bad money here, went to North ern Washington, where he was caught smuggling several thousand dollars' worth of opium. Hs was released on 750 ball, and fled to San Antonio. Texas, where ha waa arrested after car rying through a bunco game in which he obtained $1600.

When he was sentenced In Portland he went away Jauntily, saying he would do th "two-spot" standing on hlg head, and from his conduct, spread the belief that he expected to return to his cache when released. Renewed activity has been given to th search for th rest of the treasure.

DELAY NOT TO BE BROOKED Plana Selected Overcome Objec tions and Leare Possibilities of Further Development Plenty of Water Ii In Sight. OKEOONIA3T NEWS BUREAU. Wash- lngton. Feb. 25. In fulfilment of his promise that Oregon shall have a I square deal In the distribution of the Federal reclamation funds. President Taft has directed th approval of the -west extension Umatilla Irrigation project and within the next few days th report recently submitted by the special board of reclamation engineers will b formally adopted and arrange ments will be made for beginning work on th project, which will reclaim 80, 500 acres at a cost of approximately U. 000. 000. The board of reclamation engineers, after examining five alternative proj ects, selected one of medium cost and dimensions as th most feasible for construction now. It can be enlarged If enlargement is found advisable. Th present plant, however. Is to build the lO.oOO-acr project In two units, the first unit to irrigate between 8000 and 10,000 acres by the construction of a simple diversion dam In the Umatilla River. The second" unit will depend upon the construction of a large stor age dam. Earry Beginning Promised. The report of th reclamation board Is. now before Acting Secretary of the Interior Adams, who ssys that he will approve It formally In a day or two and authorise the reclamation service to begin operations. After a careful atudy of the project on the ground, perusal of five alterna tive plans proposed .by th local en. gineers and exhaustive hearings at which all Interested parties who de sired were heard, the special board recommended the adoption of what is termed scheme No. 4, which contem plates the construction of a West I'm tilla extension embracing S0.500 acres of land, at a cost approximating 13, 000.000. Th special hoard grave the West Umatilla project careful study from both an engineering and practical standpoint; found five plans, any on of which would be feasible if there were an assured abundance of water, but settled upon scheme No. 4 as the safest, because It Is not only feasible and practical, but Is a project which will not be hampered by any possible lack of water. This, among all live DroJecta. was deemed the best, for It lends Itself to further extension if It Is found, later on. that there will be a surplus of water not desired by private projects. Cost la Not Excessive. While the cost per acre of the project recommended by the board will ap proximate J100. the success met by farmers on th completed portion of the Umatilla project la regarded as sufficient guarantee that this land can stand th cost, and yield a good profit to th settler when his land Is brought under cultivation. The board had the advantage of experience gained on the original Umatilla proj ect, where conditions are similar to those on the proposed west extension, and by studying results there. old blunders have been guarded against. One of the striking lessons learned from the old project Is that distribut ing canals and laterals must ba cement lined to checks seepage. This adds to the cost of bringing water onto th land, yet this extra expense Is regard ed as necessary to make the project a success. One of th problems that long stood In the way of the adoption of the west extension th adverse attitude of the private land-holders is met by proposing-, that lands necessary for reservoir sit, rights of way, etc.. be acquired condemnation If .atlefactory terms ot be made by negotiation. Con be made by negotiation. Con i demnatlon will guarantee the land owner a fair price, and relieve the Government of a possible charge that It paid exorbitant prices for private holdings. Private Lands Moat Subscribe. As to private lands that may be Ir rigated under the project, the board has provided a means whereby the own ers of thla land must subscribe, and pledge themselves to pay their prorata share of the cost, before toe work ol construction begins, for the board rec ommends that no work be undertaken until the owners of 95 per cent of the land have signed agreements. The board found nothing in the va rlous protests made to justify setting aside this proposed project, but, on the other hand, urges Its Immediate adop tion. The greatest objection came from the town of etanfleld, but the board In adopting scheme No. 4 haa found a project that will not endanger that town In the slightest degree, for the storage reservoir will lie below the level of the town and not prove menace. Some of the opposition came from Interests that favor the big John Day project, but the board finds this can not be undertaken now, as it Is an entirely new project, of which little Is known. The main reason for setting aside the John Day project, however, is the fact that all moneys now avail able and to be available for the next three years or more, must be applied to extensions of existing projects. The John Day project, therefore, la laid aside for future consideration. Fleam May Be Reduced. While the cost per acre on the west extension will be high. It cannot be determined definitely, at thla time, what the final figure will be, as there are details of engineering work to be gone over and decided later and when this Is done every effort will be made to reduce the cost, as far as consistent with safety and permanency. The board concludes Its report with the following recommendations: "The allottment of a sufficient sum to be expended in the next two or three years for the construction of the first unit of the said project to Irri gate about 10,000 acres of land by the utilisation of the seepage and return flow from the present approved Uma tilla project and all other available waters.

Delay Not to Be Tolerated. "That whatever action is taken In the premises should be taken without delay, owing to the legal status of the water rights of the United States and the urgent appeals of settlers on the reservoir site." Scheme No. 4, (the one adopted), contemplates the Irrigation of 30.600 acrea of the low Columbia territory by a gravity .system diverting from the Umatilla River at Three-Mile Falls. This scheme may be considered as an ultimate development in Itself, or It may be undertaken as a step In a broader scheme of development Involv ing the reclamation of from 50,000 to 60,000 acres. In the latter case It may be deemed deslrsble to provide as large storage as practicable, extending the Irrigable area as experience demon strates the existence of an adequate water supply. In the estimates sub mitted, scheme i(0. nas oeen cuu ierwi an ultimate development. The diversion dam and headworks ninin concrete structures. The maximum height of the dam Is to be 21 feet and the foundation Is solid basaltic rock. The water supply for this canal Is partly furnished from the storage reservoir and cnieny irora h i-tir-n flow In the river. The main canal serves the entire area of 80,500 acre3, has a capacity of 805 aecond feet at tne upper ena, mm is S1.6 miles long. The north brancn canal will be the principal tributary of the main canal, and will serve 8430 acres of high land south and west of the town of Irrlgon. Two Units Provided. Scheme No. 4 Is possible of develop ment In two units, the second or larger unit depending upon the construction of a large storage reservoir oa jhih.jh. It la nroDOsed. however, to start witn the first unit, whicn involves me win at ruction of a diversion dan- at Three Mile Falls for collecting seepage and return waters at that point, estimated to be sufficient for the irrigation 01 from 8000 to 100.000 acres. The Board points oat tiiat data re garding the water supply in Umatilla Klver are not as complete as might be desired, and leaves this question some what in doubt- The accurate deter mination of a future water supply In any large basin is an lmpossiDimy and only an approximation can be made. and because of this uncertainly j io the supply of water that will be avail hi. on the Umatilla, the Board has set aside schemes 1. 2 and 3, which contemplate development of the maxi mum area, as being not altogether wise. While the Board believes the Ir rigation of 64,000 acres would prove practicable, there is an eiemeni vi doubt, and the Board deemed It ad visable to run no risks. "In our opinion," says the Board, "It would be unsafe to embark upon any scheme for the complete utilization of the waters by storage until water rights on Umatilla are thoroughly and finally established. The adjudication now In progress is likely to be completed and made effective within a year or two, and the recommendations of this Board may be revised to include1 larger devel opment at that time without prejudice to the publlo Interest. Ample Water Supply Assured. "Scheme No. 4 provides for a smaller reeervolr on the Umatilla River and the utilization of waters there stored in conjunction with seepage waters, for the Irrigation of 80.600 acres of land. This will leave so wide a margin that there is no possibility of shortage of water suDDlr to fill the reservoir, and will at the same time leave this margin wide enough to permit. If found ad visable, some further development of flood Irrigation by private Interests i upon the tributaries of the Umatilla River." The lands to be irrigated is in gen eral classified aa ranging from sandy to sandy loam. Those lying nearest the Columbia Klver are sandy, being in terspersed hero and there with groups of drifting sand hills too rough lor Irrigation which have been excluded from the Irrigable area. Next come the fossil sand dunes, which are rolling and contain a small percentage of silt or loam, are covered with vegetation and are Irrigable. These lands are similar to some lands now being irrigated on the present approved project, which have already shown their fertility when properly subdued, but which require Rest of Month Go On Electric Cooking School Tuesday and Friday, 2:30 P.

All other patented lands .11.B51 . 4.837 Total 80.400 Concerning the objections offered to the plans, the board says: "Some of the residents upon the lands to be submerged by the proposed reservoir have filed objections to the West Extension based upon their un willingness to sell their present homes, which in turn seems to be largely caused by doubt that they will be prop erly compensated for their property. In view of the safeguards thrown around the exercise of the right of eminent do main, the right of trial by jury and the absolute absence of any disposition to do Injustice to these settlers, we be lleve their objections to be without any other foundation than that always In separable from the exercise of the right of eminent domain. There is con siderable evidence, collected by a com mlttee from Hermlston. to show that most of these land owners are entirely willing to sell if they can be assured a good price. They laid greatest stress upon the urgency of early action to re move the uncertainty now surrounding their future prospects. "The objections most strongly urged against the 'West Extension by any in terest Is that of the village of Stan field, the people of which allege that they will be injured by the submerg ence of agricultural land tributary to the town; that the reservoir site will cut off other lands from access to Stanfield, and that their drainage con ditions will be Injuriously affected by the proposed reservoir. The latter ob jection applies only to projects con templating the full development, and can be obviated by the construction of Scheme 4, which holds the flood ele vation of the reservoir below Stanfield and leaves a considerable surplus of water which might be used for minor projects of flood Irrigation on the up per tributaries if this were deemed the wisest use. "One of the most striking instances of a broad-minded view of the situa tion is that taken by the Pendleton Commercial Club, In the county in which most of the opposition to the project is located. After giving ex tended hearings to all Interests, this club, by a vote of 108 to 1 favored the West Extension. It is Important to note that not only were the opposing Interests confined mainly to Umatilla county, of which Pendleton Is the coun ty seat, but the land to be submerged In the reservoir site Is tributary to Pendleton, and the land to be irrigated is not only at a much greater distance, but mostly In an adjoining county. The Commercial Club took the broad view that the general good Is so much more Important than temporary or local dis advantages Incident to the develop ment that the odds were greatly In favor of the construction of the project, provided the engineering features were regarded as favorable by the board. The officers, however, emphatically disclaimed any disposition to urge the expenditure of any money unless It BILIOUS HEADACHE, BAD BREATH AND SOUR STOfilACH IAN LAZY LIVER Ai BOWELS Turn the rascals out the headache, the biliousness, the indigestion, the sick, sour stomach and foul gases turn with Cascarets.

"The board is of the opinion that the objections developed have been largely stimulated by persons who believe that the project will be detrimental to them, and have been based upon misconcep tion of the plans or their effects. In view of the difficulty and cost of pro tective works about Stanfield, which would be necessary In case the reser voir were constructed to the full ca pacity, and of some uncertainty regard ing the adequacy of water supply for those schemes, and in view of the further possibility of some beneficial use of additional flood waters upon the tributaries, the board believes that at the present time the approval and con struction of a western extension to the Umatilla project should be carried out along the general lines of Scheme 4."- Juvenile smoking nas greatly increased lately, and its effect will be most noticeable on the nxt penerntlnrr mm The highest point of woman's happiness is reached only through motherhood, in the clasping of her child within her arms.
