It now ap- poara that the Malheur Irrigation pioj- uct la liaetern Oregon will become a reality, and not have to be abuudoncu, aa waa foured. A0vle.ee wore received by Chief Knglneor Newell, of tne re clamation acrvlce, today to the effect that the furmera living along Maineur river have arouaed tbemacdvea and In tend to aubmit to the government their written promise to co-operate with the government In conatructlng Ihla Irrlgalon work.

If farmer co-operate, they will have to pay but II n,.p arm tier vcar for 40 year. In order to get water from the govern ment rceervolr onto their land, and .it the end of that time the entire works will be turned over to the uner of the water. The government will mere ly retain control of the work or con struction until the coBt bag been re mil,! bv aettlera who are benefitted. Work along the Malheur river la In Hiirh uhaoe Hint aa noon aa tne rami era ownliiE land within the proposed Irrigation area pledge thomaelvea to pay the required amount, tne govern ment will b ready to make final sur vey and plan preparatory to letting contract. In the eye of the engin eer thla project l no longer ques tionable, but one that promises com- nlete success. It remains with the farmer to say when work ahull commence, it is ex nlHlneil in this connection that the government will not accept a partial promise of co-operntlon, or promises from only a part of the farmers within the Irrigation district. Every man who will he benefitted by this work must pledge himself to contribute his share of tlio cost before me govern ii,i will ndnnt the project.

Salem The news ha reached this city to the effect that the country in the neighborhood ol lireiieiiDiien, in the wetern part of the Cascade torest reserve, is threatened with devastation ol vegetation by reason of the encroach ment o( the Kaatern Oregon stieepmen, with their enormous flock of sheep. Already hundreds ol sheep are to lie seen in the vicinity ol Detroit, and, it is said, there will be no less than VI,- 000 head in that part ol the reserve be fore the grazing season closes. There is a quetaion of whether the grazing peimita contemplate the en croachment upon this territory, and the settleis In that section are vigor ously protesting against it. ... . , i Hon. John Minto lias remrnea irom a visit to Minto pas throngh the Ca-i-cades, and reports '.he encroachments of Eastern Oregon 'heepmen on the western tiart of the forest reserve sre alarming the people of that part of the country. Minto said that be tween Warm borings and J'etroit, a diMtance of 16 miles, he pasted through six miles of sheep. 1,700 in number Minto considers it an outrage, as he does not think the sheepmen bave the riiihUi so far west as they are coming, but they claim they bave a stretch two townships wide there, and will bring 12,000 sheep into the district. Kninmer outers and others there are worried, thinking the sheep will de stroy all pleasure, and also the oppor tunity for keeping domestic aniniaia. SCHOOL ALL THE YEAR. Change Under Contemplation at Ore gon 'Agricultural College. Corvallis The faculty of the Ore son Aariculutral college has been in structed to piepare a plan for a contin uous school at the college, and to re port the same for the consideration of the board of regents at the annual meeting next July. The action was taken at the last meeting of the board. The proposal for the continuous col- W Reunion is an innovation on the coast, but is much in vogue among lamer institutions In the fc-ast. ine college year closes about June 12, ordi narily, and opens about t-eptemoer -iv. There are those who believe that many students, were a fourth term added to the year, would continue in attendance, enabling them to gain a year in taking the college course. Steps taken so lar are only preliminary, and future action by the board is nceeseary to determine whether or not the plan will be finally inaugurated. To fit Up Smelter.

HOP CROP WILL BC GOOD. Linn County Growers See No Lice, but Spray Nevertheless.

Tbe total output of the county, however, now promises to be greater than a year ago, or on any former year, tbe acreage being greater than ever belore. If everything goes well from now until picking time, even though there should lie no n:oie rain, it is safe to sav this county will turn out more than an average crop of hops Crops About Junction City.

It is also gener- lly understood in naval circles that no other British shjis will be stopped by the Russians after the British cruis ers reach the ene. The orders to commanders of the lat ter vessels are declared lo he short, but explicit, snd provides that British ves sel shall be tree lo navigate eastern waters, without recognizing the war ships ol any other power, or the right to starch tbem for contraband. One of the developments yesterday was the detachment by Admiral Dom ville, commanding tbe Medterranean fleet, of hU two swiftest cruiser to pro ceed at full speed to Port Said, which is at tne northern end of the buez ca nal. It is understood that these two vessels will arrive at Port Said belore tbe Malacca, and tie there when tbe latter emerges from the ranal. It ia considered likely that they will compel the Russians to gue up their prize, al though, of course, their future action is carefully guarded, and laymen can only conjecture and reason from the at titude ol the naval chief'. Naval officers generally agree that such action can be confidently expected, and they are (or the most part now dis enssing the probable attitude of Russia when tbe Malacca is taken by lorce. fLEET ON RAID. Vladivostok Ships Enter Pacific and Take Japanese Steamer. Tokio, July 21. The Vladivostok squadron ha overhauled a Japanese steamer eastwaid of Tsngar strait. The name ol the vessel captured and ber (ate has not yet been learned. Tbe Vladivostok squadron, unac companied by torpedo boats, entered tbe Pacific ocean today at 7 o'clock. Its destination is unknown, but it is suggested it possibly plana to raid the east coast of Japan and then either re turn to Vladivostok, escaping to ine southward, or attempting to form a junction with tbe Port Arthur fleet. Tbe squadron was discovered in us straits ol Tsugar at 3 o'clock thiB morn ing, steaming rapidly eastward. At 3:30 A. M. it was reported off Tappicape, aud at 7 A. M. observers at Hakkodate discovered and reported to Tokio that it was then steaming east. Warnings have gone out to shipping along the eastern coast of Japan and merchantmen are hurriedly seeking cover. It is expected that most of tbe shipping will be warned belore the Russian ships can innict serious dam age, if a raid is inteuded. Ordinarily, a lack of ccal would pre vent an extended cruise, but it is possi ble that the Russians possess a collier at a rendezvous in the Pacific ocean. PORTLAND MARKETS.
