4 THE SUNDAY OREGOMAX, PORTLAND, AUGUST 11, 1907. NSPECTON TRIP TO BEND National and State Officials Make Visit to Reclama tion Projects. . , GET FACTS AT FIRST HAND Methods of Operation, Character of .Settlement and Results Obtained Will Be the Basis of Investigation by Party. SHAXIKO, Or., Aus. 10. (Special.) For the purpose of studying irrigation conditions in the Valley of the Deschutes, a party of prominent state and Govern ment officials passed through Shaniko to night on the way to Bend, the center of reclamation work in this section of the state. The party consists of Governor George B. Chamberlain and State Engineer Rec lamation Service, and Special Agent Meyendorff, representing the Government, and F. Stanley, representing the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Company, of which he is manager. Thomas B. Neuhausen, special inspector of the Department of the Interior, will Join the party at Redmond tomorrow and aid in the investigation of the work that has been done by the reclamation companies, the manner in which they liave conducted their operations, the character of settlements that have been made, and the particular efforts that have been made and the results that thus far have been accomplished bj'j the com panies holding contracts with the state for the reclamation of arid land made under the provisions -of the National grant known as the Carey act. Two reclamation -projects are to be visited, that of the Columbia Southern Irrigation Company, comprising 27,000 acres, and that of the Deschutes Irriga tion & Power Company, comprising 14,000 acres. These projects are located In the Western part of Crook County, the former lying on the west side of the Deschutes River and the latter on the oast. The tracts lie from 70 to 100 miles from the nearest railroad connection at Ehaniko. which is 70 miles from the Co lumbia River. The trip of these officers has several definite objects, among them the determi nation of the quantity of water supply, the character of the canal system already constructed, the value of the land be fore and after reclamation, and the reasonableness of the lien recently fixed by the state land board in a new con tract with , the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Company. The lien was fixed at on average of $25 an acre, or $40 per acre for irrigable land. This investiga tion will enable the officials to determine whether the amount Is a reasonable charge. On this trip the officials will also study the Columbia Southern project with a view to ascertaining the best plan of procedure In an effort to reorganize the company or dispose of its interests so that the rights of settlers may be pro tected when partial payments have been made. The company has turned its affairs over to its bondholders. A further sub ject of investigation will be the good faith of settlers who have purchased lands, many of them being to all ap pearances speculators and not home seekers. HOW OKEGO.V IS XEGLECTED Cornell Professor's Book Shows Resources but Few Railroads. BERKELEY. Cal., Aug. 10. (Spe cial.) The fact that Oregon has been neglected by the railroads is quite apparent by the study of a recent book on farms and American lands, issued by Professor Thomas F. Hunt, of Cor nell University. This book makes a detailed description of the natural and agricultural resources of the various states, and included in the discussion are several tabulations of railroad sta tistics, which go to prove that the policy of the various companies that do business in the state has been to extend lines just as little as possible. Oregon ie credited with having 1720.12 miles of railroad, while Wash ington, a state smaller in area, shows 3275.03 mlleST Illinois comes at the head of the list, with 11,426.87. One of the most interesting tables Is that which shows Just , what per tent of the total railroad mileage of the United States is in each particular tate. The states that have less than 1 per cent each are as follows: m.trict of Columbia 5".". ""til .Rhode Island .. .10 relBvrar .16 Nevada .......................... .4tj Connecticut ............ A ....... . .4!) Vermont ......... .......,...... "51 Wyoming New Hnmpahlre .................. ,c,l Maryland ftH Idaho ....................... '70 ' V1?" ' Arlsona. ........................... hi Oreaon .......................I."" 'fir, Oklahoma J. 9 Maine dq The State of Illinois has the highest record, having 6.5 per cent of the total railroad mileage of the United States within its borders. A number of states have a smaller percentage than Oregon, but in most cases the states themselves are much smaller, and their total mileage per unit area In much greater. In order to make this plain, the number of miles per 100 square miles of area of each state has been computed, and it is in this column that Oregon falls so low. The total number of miles of railroad per 100 square miles of land for the United States Is just seven. The states that have les than two miles of line per 100 square miles are: . , Miles. T yomlng ........................ 1.27 Arizona 1.4 lrlaho 1 7' Oregon lJ New Mexico 1.96 Washington has 4.9 miles per 100 square miles, and New- Jersey is one of the highest, with 30.17 miles. Thus it will be seen that Oregon is handicapped by insufficient railroad mileage. There are only three states in the Union that have a smaller per centage, and neither of the three orig inate anywhere near as much traffic as does Oregon, nor do they have as large an . area of farm land actually under cultivation. CHOIR MEMBER IS IX TROUBLE Alleged to Have Misused Singing So ciety's Benefit Funds. EEL.T.ING HAM. Wash., Aug. 10. It has Just developed that A. EL W. Engberg, formerly a member of the Philharmonic Musical Society and one of the most prominent young men of Bellingham. was fcenUy. discovered short la his accounts at the First National Bank, where he was employed until a few weeks ago. The shortage was between $500 and $500. One of the most interesting things about this defalcation is that "Engberg made part of the shortage good, it Is said, with money he obtained from a benefit given him by the singing society. Engberg's shortage was discovered shortly ifter his home on Maple street was destroyed by fire, originating in a mysterious way. On the contents Eng berg carried $600 insurance. This was paid to him about June 1, and part of it was used to square the account with the bank. After Engberg left the employ of the bank he went to Seattle, and Is said to be living there now. While in Belling ham he frequently sang in local churches and in entertainments given by the so ciety of which he was a leading member, and he made many friends here.

WAGES ARE FORCED UP Krebs Bros. Advance Price to Hop Pickers Others Say They Can't Afford to Pay More and Will Leave the Crop Unpicked. SALEM, Or., Aug. 10. (Special.) While the present spell of inclement weather is causing the farmers to grow uneasy over the prospects of saving their grain crops, the all-important question, par ticularly the fruit and hop growers, is that of labor. Threshing of Fall grain has not been seriously interfered with, but it Is feared that if the showers con tinue, the grain harvest will be carried over into the prune and hop season when the labor situation, which Is by no means encouraging, will be immeasurably ag gravated. Hop harvest will begin early in Sep tember and growers are scouring the country for pickers. While it is yet too early to predict a scarcity, it Is e.v,dent there will be no surplus of available help. Another question, too, that Is worrying the hop grower at "this stage of the game is the price to be paid for picking. Ex cept in a few Isolated cases tne ruling price heretofore has never been above 60 cents per nine-bushel box, or $1 per hundred pounds, but there is a question if the growers will be able to get their crops harvested at this price this year. It is reported that Krebs Brother have de cided to offer 55 cents per box or $1.10 per hundred, claiming they cannot other wise secure enough pickers to harvest their immense crops, and this news has aroused the ire of other growers who claim they cannot afford to meet that figure upon the down market and prefer to leave their hops upon the vines. Prune growers are up against an equally serious propr- on to s-et prune pickers and, if "the hop season laps over Into the prune season again, as it did last year, their troubles will know no end. In one- sense the prune growers have a slight advantage in being assured the services of a number of families who are Teligiously or otherwise opposed to the hop industry and scruple to lend their aid in harvesting the crop, but this class is vastly in the minority and affords very little consolation to the farmer. He, too. Is up against the necessity of increas ing the rate of compensation to pickers, and, it is understood, the price to be paid prune pickers this year will be fixed at 7 cents per bushel, which Is a rise of 1 cent over last year, and 2 cents over two years ago. --.i average picker can gather from 30 to 50 bushels per day, making a wage of from $2.10 to $3.50, while expert pickers can earn even more. Prune growers, however, can better af ford to meet a rise in labor wages upon a strong and steady market than can the hop grower under present uncertain con ditions. MAYOR AYAXTS SQUARE DEAL Tacoma's Executive Angry AVith Council for Sltovvlng Favors. TACOMA. Wash., Aug. 10. (Special.) Mayor Wright is furious because the Council has refused to grant John Malone a renewal of his saloon license. Malone has been the Democratic boss for years. The Mayor says: ' ' "Malone has broken the law. I know it. Everybody knows it and there is no use in trying to deny it. ""But so have the rest of the saloonkeepers to whom the Council has granted licenses and I pro pose to see that Malone has a square deal with the other lawbreakers. If he is to be closed up for breaking the law the rest will bo also. It is. not necessary for me to approve the bonds of any saloon keepers and there Is going to be a square deal." ALASKA KILLING OFF SALMON Fishermen Take Them as They Go Vp Rivers to Spawn. TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 10. (Special.) After a trip of over 900 miles to Alaska in a 40-foot gasoline launch. L. T. Shelton, J. T. Buchanan and James and Thomas H. Gawley have just returned to Tacoma. Concerning what they saw, Mr Shelton says: t "If all the salmon men on the Coast follow the policy of some of those we saw In Alaska the end of the salmon fishing Industry, is not far off. We saw nets spread across a stream where the salmon were going up to spawn and thousands of hem were taken "in- that wa every day. In one stream obstructions . had been placed which prevented the salmon from getting! to the spawning ground. We were told that in one day as many as 20, 000 have been caught." TAKES ALLEGED HORSETHIEF Harris, Said to Be Bad Man,-Arrested by Tacoma Sheriff. TACOMA, Wash.. Aug. 10. (Special.)

GET CLOSE TO THE SUMMIT Belmore Brown and Party Make First Ascent of Mount Olympus. TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 10. (Special.) Belmore Brown has just returned with a party from making the first ascent of Mount Olympus. They fol lowed the north fork of the lwha up to its headwaters. This canyon they named Clark's Canyon. They finally found their way over a glacier which they named - Hume's Glacier. Here they faced a sheer sheet of ice and snow, which was about 6000 feet high. They tied themselves securely together, and after having some nar row escapes over creyasses and snow bridges, climbed within 200 feet of the summit. The scenery frbm Jie peak was wonderful. They could .see the Pacific Ocean. The range is rugged, and has no definite plan of symmetry. AT THE HOTELS. Hotel Portland A. R. Dramond. Portland; L. M. Burch, Spokane: Mn. I V. Burch. Fpohane; w.
