UCCE88 OF IRRIGATION.
Wonderful Progress Being Mad In
Bnd Olatrlct.
Bend Expresalona of surprise and
eatiifection were frequently ottered by
tbe Governor and other members of the
party that came to Bend recently for
th purpoie of Investigating the condi
tion ot tbe reclamation project that
bav been itarted In thia vicinity.
While tbe representatives of tbe state
and the government bav not yet given
attention to the details of their task,
and ar not in a position lo express an
opinion which will indicate their final
conclusions, they freely voiced their
pleasure over th rapid progress that
has been made in agriculture in the
Deacbutea country.
Three year ago. when the state land
board made It Ant vieit of inspection
to th Deschutes project, there wss not
an Irrigated field within tha limit of
either of the immense tract set apart
for reclamation. Tha party that came
to iSond passed doxens of Irrigated
fields, where settler bav transformed
aage brush plains Into fields of alfalfa,
wheat, oate, corn, potatoes and garden
vegetables. Th view ot these manv
thrifty, growing crop was a practical
aemonstratton ol the suoceee of irriga
tion on we uefcnutes, tor seida were
seen where two crop of alfalfa, aggre
gating three tons to tbe acre, were cut
on land seeded down last season, and
where fully matured wheat ot first class
quality has been harvested long before
me rroet eeaaos nae arrived.
Three year ago there waa scarcely a
settler's cabin on the whole 140.000
acre which tbe Deacbute company
had undertaken to reclaim. Today
there are 260 familiea residing on tbe
mrra lands, 120,000 acres are green
with growing crops, many more fami
ne bav applied for bind and will
com here to make home when water
has been supplied and several thousand
acre have been cleared and plowed
this year ready for production of crops
next year.
Test New Prison Dog;.
fialem The youngest two of the trio
ot thoroughbred bloodhound recently
added to tbe atat penitentiary equip
ment were given a practical test by
Warden Curtla, and they worked fully
up to the guarantee and the expecta
tion of tb prison officials.
Two trusty convict were turned out,
one at a time, and each resorted to all
tbe tricks known and practiced by fugl-
ttvea to evade man-bunting dogs, such
back-tracking, wading through
streams, climbing treee, and each waa
given an hour start, but the doge,
hich were lashed together, followed
tbe scent unfailingly and treed both
men In ahort order.

HARD WORDS FROM CARTER.
Intlmatee Hawaiian Federal Building
Site Waa Tampered With.
Honolulu, Aug. 16. A aoon aa
Governor Carter returned from hia re
cent trip to Waahingtuu he dicta ted a
statement for the local paper in regard
to the matter ot a site for the Federal
building, In which he said: "I con
sider that bad faith haa been ehown
me, officially and privately, by my own
representatives ot the Mahuka alte
ownera."
The Mahuka site ia the one eelecled
by the representative of the Treasury
department sent out here for that pur
pose. . Tbe governor, while in Wash
ington, tried to secure tbe selection of
the Irwin site. After reciting his
efforts in Washington in the matter,
Governor Carter said:
"Alter all this I find that the offer
to withdraw the Mahuka aito, made to
me in good faith personally and official
ly by correspondence, haa not been car
ried out, and I do not ee how tbe offi
ciate in Washington can 'square' with
me in any other way than by accepting
the Irwin site. I did not force myself
into this matter and only undertook it
open their request."

BOTH SIDES FIRM.
Strikers and Companies In Fight to
Finish at Portland.
Portland, Aug. 17. Locally, the
striking telegraphers and the telegraph
companiee are organizing their forces
for a finish fight. There were two de
fections from the union yeeterday. '
Otherwise the situation in Portland
remains unchanged, and the sending
and receiving of telegrams continues
serionaly Interrupted. The issuance of
a general strike order by National Pres
ident Small, of the Commercial Tele
graphers' nnion, has served only to
magnify the seriousness of the situation
ontslde of Portland, since operators who
had before hesitated to join tbe ranks
ot their striking associates cheerfully
left the keys yesterday. The result was
to more completely paralyse the tele
graphic businecs of the. country.
It was expected that a crisis might
be reached yesterday, but tbe possibili
ty of a settlement seems even farther
removed. No sooner bad the order for
a general strike been issued by Presi
dent Small than tbe Western Union
official Issued instructions to all local
managers to refuse to reinstate any
more of the striking telegraphers.
