E., of Berlin, Germany, a recognized authority on tungsten, vanadium and uradnium who has Just completed a thorough investigation of the depos its and development work in the three camps In Stevens county, Wash., located 40 to 75 miles north of Spo kane, declares that within its confines is the largest and most promising tungsten field In the world. He said: "The tungsten district in Stevens county has a chance to overshadow Boulder county, Colorado, In the next few years. Boulder county Is the ciun try's chief producer, having an output of 3000 to 4000 tons of con centrates a year. There is sufficient ore In the Stevens county deposits to harden steel for all the war guns, all the battleships and all commercial uses throughout the century, and the profits that will accrue from Its pro duction may equal the millions In gold taken from several of the foremost fields in the country. "Three camps are under develop ment One is the Germanla in Ce dal Canyon, 30 miles north of Springdale; the Tungsten King, eight miles north of Deer Park, and the Blue Grouse, a mile south of the Tungsten King and eight miles from Loon Lake. Several tons of concen trates have been sent to the market. Prospecting Is proceeding at many points In the field, embracing an area of 10 by 40 miles, and corporations are being formed for development on a broad scale. SMITH SAYS PROJECT WILL BE EXTENDED COST OF IRRIGATION WILL NOT HXCHHD $M PER AORB Local Pbysloiaa Tells Portlaiul Paysr of Portability or UnutflU Extension Uiggewt lli lug In Oregon, be Say. "The Umatilla irrigation project will be extended. Counted feasible If the cost should not be greater than 1150 an acre, it will be shown that the cost of Irrigation will not be more than S(t per acre. It mean that 145,000 acres will be opened to culti vation. One acre will produce tilt worth of alfalfa yearly, meaning that the value of that acre will be all the way from $600 to $1,000." This prediction was brought U Portland today by Dr. C. J. Smith, on of Umatilla's leading citizens, says yesterday's Portland Journal. He at tended the banquet given last night to the board of army enginers, Direc-' tor F. H. Newell, Brigadier General Marshall, General Langfltt Senator Chamberlain and others were present i ml made addresses. All, said Dr. Smith, were convinced of the feasibil ity of the project, after looking over the ground. The result Is of the at most consequence to the people of I'matila county, since the developmeat of land now arid is counted upon to triple the county's weauth. "Developing the project," said Dr. Smith. "Is the biggest thing in Ore con Just now. it will be the biggest contribution to Oregon's wealth. Uma tilla county Is now assessed at $42, 009. 00 while we have but 21.000 population, thus making Umatilla county sesond In wealth in the state. This was brought about by such Irri gation as we have. Ten years ago we were assessed at $20,000,000 with 18,. 000 population. Nearly all the irri gation has been done In 10 years. Official A.suram Received. "Director Newell, General Marshall nnd General Langfltt, by their state ments left u with the conviction that the extension of the project at once will be reeommended. When Secre tary Ballinger was here he met a com mittee of our citizens In conference. He assured us that he would support the extension of the project. "In Umatilla county 32,000 acres have been reclaimed by irrigation. The new project will reclaim 145,000 acres of inexhauntivly rich land 'of vhich 50 per cent belongs to the gov ernment, 15 per cent (to private hold ers and the remainder to the North ern Pacific. Dr. Smith will speak tomorrow night as a member of the state board of health at the open meeting of the Oregon State Medical association to be held in the First Presbyterian church. His subject will be "School Hygiene." SAD MTSIO LURES 5 COYOTES TO DEATH Bll, Neb. Having read of music being used to Induce cows to give lar ger quantities of milk, and of birds being charmed by the playing of a mouth organ, John Peterson, owner of a large ranch a few miles south of this place, has tried the violin on coyotes with great success. Peterson and his son, Henry, It years old took a repeating rifle, a large supply of ammunition and a vi olin and repaired to a shed near the center of the 5000-acre sand hill ranch. Seating himself on a soap box In the doorway of the stable, Peterson began to play. He ground out the "Devil's Dream," "Fisher's Horn pipe," "When the Flowers Bloom Again," and a dosen other similar airs. None of them brought the coy otes. Then he tried some of his beet "rag time." Hardly had he finlshod his first selection when there came a yelp from over a hill to the left, and a lit tle later an answering yelp from the right, followed by still others from other directions. Coyotes commenced to appear and in a few minutes the stable was encircled by the animals, all sitting on their haunches, howling In unison, and evidently trying to keep time to the music. Peterson sawed away on hs in strument but not a coyote would come within range of Harry's rifle. Then the fiddler decided to try some thing more plaintive. Dropping rag time he started to dish out "Home, Sweet Home." Hardly had he struck a dozen notes when the circle of coy otes, like one coyote, rose to their feet. They stopped howling and com menced to walk toward the stable where Peterson and his son were in hiding. By the time that Peterson had fin ished "Home, Sweet Home" the ani mals were within a quarter of a milo. He began to play "We Shall Meet to Miss Him" and "Where Is My Wan dering Boy Tonight?" The effect was like magic. The coyotes snuffed the air, and, striking a rapid gate, bejrnn to close In on the stable. Harry began to shoot with unerring aim, and an animal, sometimes two or three of them, fell at each crack of the rifle. Animal after animal went down, but this did not seem to create any consternation among the pack. On they came, and' from window to window the boy went, shooting at the advancing column, while his father kept on plnylng dreamy melodies. The lad fired until all his cartridges were gone. As the last shot was fired the father lad down his bow. Immedi ately the unwounded coyotes fled for the hills. An Investigation showed that 95 animals had been killed, while nearly half that number were wounded so as to be easily put out of commission.
