" '7, 1905; Otherwise Government Will Not Aid the State in Irrigation. COMPANIES WASTE -WATER Reclamation Service Engineers De clare That "Washington. Is Slak ing Selections Favorable to Sunnyslde System. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash-' ington. May 6. A clash between the State of Washington and the Federal Reclama tion Service over irrigation Jn the Yakima Valley is imminent. The state, satisfied that private irrigation is successful, is en couraging capital to build reclamation works all over Eastern Washington, and Just now Is asking for approval of Its selection of 55.000 acres In Yakima County, in order that this land, with the same area of Northern Pacific land adjoining, may be reclaimed under the extension of the Sunnyslde Canal, built and owned largely by Portland capitalists. It has long been the opinion of the Reclamation Service that the Government should assume the general management of Irrigation in Yakima Valley, and to day the Government, if It had the oppor tunity, would probably buy up all the private canals In the Yakima Valley and by building its own storage reservoirs and new high-line canals, irrigate thousands of acres that have not been touched by private enterprises. Say State Is Partial. But the Government engineers have re peatedly declared they will not undertake any irrigation work in the Yakima Valley if the state persists in perfecting its selec tion in behalf of the Sunnyslde Company. If the state selection is apprpved, the state will dispose of Its land at $10 an acre and realize over $500,000. this money in turn to be devoted to smaller irriga tion enterprises elsewhere in Eastern Washington. If the state should -withdraw in favor of the Government, It would lose this revenue. All along the Government "has contended it can irrigate cheaper and more satisfactorily than private enter prise, but the state denies this. Government engineers report that prl vate canal companies have already ap propriated the flow of the Yakima River many times over, and predict that when the proposed canals or those under con struction in the Upper Yakima Valley are completed, they -will practically ab sorb the entire flow of the -river and de prive Irrigators in the lower valley of water to which theyTiad prior rights. Much Water Is "Wasted. As the Government sees it, there is endless conflict in store if private enter prise is allowed full sway. The Govern' xnent says irrigators in Yakima Valley are wasting vast Quantities of water by over-Irrigation. Under Government canals, it is said, there could be no such waste. uc-vernmcni engineers oeueve and re port that there is water enough, if prop crly used, to irrigate all the fertile lands in the Yakima Valley that are so lo cated as 'to be reached by canals, but in order to provide enough water it will be necessary to store the flood waters at the head of the Yakima River and tributaries and adopt some general system of control of the distribution of the water. The Government would therefore absorb all present canals, build its own works and handle the entire project as if It were new. Where persons are taking water from private canals they cQuld con tinue to have . all the necessary water from the Government canals without ad ditlonal cost, but settlers receiving only a limited supply of water, or those who should take up lands never before irri gated, would have to pay for water rights the same as settlers under other Govern xnent projects. "Want Government Control. The overwhelming sentiment among the people of Yakima Valley seems to favor Government irrigation, but, until the state and the Government reach some under standing, there is not likely to be Fed cral irrigation anywhere In that state. The Reclamation Service today received a petition from the Commercial Club of Kittitas County, urging them to make early and thorough study of irrigation possibilities in that county, with a view to undertaking the construction of the project, which will reclaim 100,000 acres of Its land.

POLICE QUEST PROVES VAIN Chagrined, They Say lie Has Xot Lived Openly "With Brother. He Shows "Wound Caused by British Bullet. OMAHA. Neb., May 6. As mysterious as was the return to this city by Pat Crows, the alleged kidnaper of Eddie Cudahy four years ago, has been his sud den disappearance. "When he left the of fice of a local newspaper Friday night he remarked that ho was going to the home of his brother, in Council Bluffs, but he could not be located there today. That Pat Crowe was in Omaha was as much of a surprise to Chief of Police Donahue as to the other citizens of the city. He said today that he had taken steps to apprehend the fugitive, and had placed a large detail of detectives on the case. "The greatest trouble is that no member of the force would know Crowe if he appeared on the streets" said the Chief. "It is not true, however, that Crowe has been openly lU'ing with his broth er in Council Bluffs. If Pat is in the city he has kept well under cover. I have had a number of communications indicating that Crowe would be in Omaha, and have been on the watch for him." The Chief was inclined to say a word of censure to those who saw Crowe last night. Donahue thinks he should have been notified of Crowe's presence in the city. "When Crowe appeared at the news paper office last night he was dressed in a neatly fitting business suit, and was in a talkative mood. He referred to his family, and spoke feelingly of his wife and two dead children. He expressed a wish to become free to Hv uuwn. me. past experiences or ms me. He denied the authorship of several crimes charged against him, and de clared that he was Innocent of par ticipation In the train holdup near St. Joseph. Mo. for which he served a three-year penitentiary sentence. Crowe displayed the mark of a bul let wound In the shoulder, which he declared he had received during his service in the Boer army. He says he served but three weeks with the Boers, his wound making it necessary for him to leave the army. He went to Durban, thence to London, and re turned to the United States, stopping three weeks in New York, and thence going to Chicago, .where he has since resided. The police and detective forces of Council "Bluffs have also been put to work in an effort to find Crowe. Thomas J. O'Brien, the hotel propri etor who made the appointment for the meeting of Crowe with a newspaper man. said today that he had known Crowe for 15 years. He also said that he had met Crowe several times since the Cudahy kidnaping, the last time six months ago. when Crowe accosted him on thef street. He said he had no par ticular interest in Crowe and that the latter had asked him to make the ap pointment with the reporter because of "Since then I have not had the least indication of a return of the catarrh." Grateful to Pe-ra-na. Miss Marie Lepschaw, 287 Second street. Portland, Or- member Garment "Workers Union. Lo;al 228, writes: "I have been troubled off and no for thelast three years with biliousness and constipa tion, causing BILIOUSNESS AND INDIGESTION. the food to lie heavy on my stomach.

STOCKS SETTLING DOWN Causes of Disturbance Vanish and Dull "Period Is Expected. NEW YORK, May 6.-MSpeciaIO- Liquidation has continued heavily this week, bringing with it a fuller realiza tion that the main cause lay in the ex cesses of the previous speculation in the railroads. Less has been heard of the special causes of disturbance that so largely occupied financial comment during the preceding week. The May wheat deal and the Western Bank de falcation have passed out of view, as they were bound to. The Equitable squabble, although not outwardly abat ing its bitterness, was not a cause" to excite the acute apprehension that it did. Less prominence, too, has been given to Mr. Gould's resignation from the Union Pacific board and the possi bility that this might lead to unpleas ant consequences, both in and out of Wall street The extent to which fictitious buying had figured In the railroads was meas ured by the moves of the declines. In two weeks the gains of months were lost. Stocks went down 30 to 50 per cent of the entire advances of 1903. Except in times of panic, "Wall street -scarcely ever showed a move ment of this magnitude. With the downfall of the speculative structure went the many cherished Imaginings of "deals" and communlty-of-interest schemes. It would surprise nobody if the mar ket were to drift Into comparative dull ness and move back and forth for a while within narrow limits. Under such conditions stocks having special rea sons for moving up or down usually ab sprb speculative Interest. The recent disorder in Wall street has simply "brought forth the well founded maxim that speculation can abuse the best and strongest -of foun dations. "With the inevitable conse quences of over-speculation, be the conditions good or bad, there may be perhaps some further reckoning. But the point has been reached where such conservative weakness will begin to be matched by the forces of investment capital, influenced by tne country's great and genuine prosperity, and the lower prices are forced by the specula tlve. necessities, the more active will such investments grow. DAM FOR GORE CANYON Railway Enjoined- From Building Tract Through the Gorge. DENVER, Colo., May 6. United State Attorney Cranston today secured a tem porary Injunction In the Federal Court against David H. Moffat and the Colorado &, Utah Construction Company, prohibit Ing them from hulldlng the Denver, North western & Pacific Railroad (the Moffat road) through Gore Canyon, on the line of the new road In Middle Park. Gore Canyon Is said to be one of the most Important sites for a huge dam in the state, and its condemnation for that purpose would necessitate the building of about 29 miles extra railroad on the new line. Parser Cadosa. Dead. SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.-Josepb S.

SOAKS WALL WITH OIL Incendiary Bores Hole in Side of House and Uses a Paper Fun nel to Convey the Inflam mable Material. OAKLAND, CaL, May 6. Spec!aL) Shortly after midnight a fiendish at tempt was made to burn the home of Supervisor C. F. Horner, near Center ville, while the Inmates of the house were sleeping peacefully In their rooms up stairs. The Incendiary bored an inch and a half hole through the boarding at the west side of the houso and inserted a paper funnel, down which he poured a quantity of kerosene oil, thoroughly sat urating the space between the walls of the building. Mrs. Horner was awakened by the smell of smoke and the crackling of flames and at once awakened her hus band, who located the fire, and by util izing a small door leading from the base ment to the Fpace under the front of the house near the Are succeeded In extin guishing the flames before they got be yond control. Mrs. Horn or states that she Is positive she heard the noise made by the incendiary in boring the hole, but thought nothing of It at the time. R. Blacow, Mrs. Homers brother-in- law, was summoned from his home near by and after assisting in extinguishing the flames joined Homer in an automo bile chase down the San -Jose road with the hope of capturing the miscreant. It being believed that the person came to thr scene of the fire in a buggy or light wagon. No trace of him was discovered. however, and after notifying the police they returned home. Supervisor Homer Is at a loss to ac count for the reason of the attempt on the lives and property of himself and wife, as he states he has not an enemy In the world that he knows of. He at tributes their remarkable .escape from death entirely to the fact that the recent rains have dampened the woodwork of the house, causing it to nurn siowiy. The county authorities are making an effort to secure the apprehension of the miscreant or miscreants, though there Is but little hope ot sucn being accom plished, owing to the fact that no one witnessed the attempt, nor did the mid night visitor leave any clew by which his identity could be established.

A Ber lin dispatch says the Neume3 Bay rische complains, that the trousseau of the Duchess Cecilia, of Mecklenburg Schwerin, who will be married to the German Crown Prince June 6, is be ing ordered in Paris and Vienna instead of Germany. It saysr , German towns and corporations and associations all over the country have subscribed Immense sums of money to give wedding presents to the German Crown Prince.

NO COAL OIL ON ITS SEAL University of Chicago Rejects De signs With Lamp of Learning. CHICAGO, May 6. (Special.) The Uni versity of Chicago will have no official seal which pictures suggestions or even hints at Standard Oil. This decision is believed to have been mde by Dr. Thomas Goodspeed, the university treas urer, when he was called upon to choose a seal for the university from 11 designs submitted by student artists. By a most peculiar coincidence every one of the designs presented, to the judges was embellished by the time-honored lamp of learning. Whether each of the design ers was trying allegoiically to tell of the oil lamp's connection with the school Is a perplexing question at the midway insti tution. But the Roman lamp was present In each one. and It was the Illuminating Instrument that caused the refusal of every design. Now the designers are busily engaged. thinking of new designs for seals without the lamp of learning, an oil tank or a gey ser, and the 'varsity students are anxious ly awaiting tne appearance or the new masterpieces.
