Eastern Oregon Unas May Yei
Be Irrigated.
Waahlnston. July 20. 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. Mr. Newell's crit
icism of theae farmcra, expreaaed
through theae dlBpatchea a ehoit time
ro, and hia threat to remove hia en
gineer from Malheur country unleaa
i ho farmer acted on lilH aiigKcauoii,
haa hud tho dcalred effect, and the lo
cal englueera are now convinced that
before long the farmera along tne wni
hcanr river will comply with the gov-
ornment'a requirement a. 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.
The Government today advertised
for bids for 14,000 barrels of Portland
cement to be used on tne Minouona
Irrigation project In Southern idano.
Bids will be received uy i-.nginoer v.

Thousands are Being Moved
Cascade Tores! Reserve.
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

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.

Corvallis The faculty of the Ore
son Aariculutral college has been in
structed to piepare a plan for a contin

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.

Warships Will Compel Russia lo Give
Up Oriental Liner.
London, July 21. It is believed by
leading naval otlicials here, who are
cognizant ol certain sweeping orders is
sued yesterday by tbe admiralty, that
tbe Biitish government intend to com
pel Kuufia to surrender the Peninsular
& Oriental liner Malacca, seized as a
prize ol war by the Ktipsian cruiser St.
Petersburg, and en route to l,iaa
under a prize crew. 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.
