THE IRRIOATION CONdRESS.
Oregon Association Meets and Electa It
Officers Scvcrnl Addresses.
Portlnnd, Nov. 10. Tho first day's
Fossiou of tho Oregon Irrigation As
elation convention was devoted, for thi
must part to organization, appointment
of committees, nnd election of officers J
A few addresses wero dollvored, but the
work of tho convention will not com
mence until today. Tho following,
officers wore oloctod :
President, A. II. Dover?, of Portland;
vice president, It. King, of Mal
heur; secretary, J. M. JMooro, of fort-
laud; treasurer, W. T. Wright,
Union.
AddresFos wero dolivorod by Geo.l
II. Williams, mayor of Portland; J. N.I
illiaingon, rcpresentativo-elecl to con
gress nud statu sonntor from Crook, Kla
math, l.ako and Wasco counties, anrll
F. E. Beach, president of the Portlandl
board of trado. Thero nro about 871
delegates and visitors in nttondai
at tho sessions.
Tho great onthusinsm that is beii
shown by tho delegates to tho irris
tion convention will have its weigbt
toward securing n liberal apportionment
of tho national irrigation fund tor
Oregon. It Is tho desire of tho depar
inent of the Interior, which has I
matter In hand, to satisfy public senti
ment. Much will depend upon the):
surveys and tho condition of tho conn-
try, hut the department will not thlukt
of forcing irrigation upon sections that
do not seem to wish it. A suction bo I
situated as to ho easily nnd econom
ically accessible to water, end shows
enthusiasm, Is probably tho ono that
will bo tho most favoiod. Lack of en-l
thusiasm may tend to turn tho dopart-l
meut against a Miction, but nny amouat
of enthusiasm cannot change tho naU
ral conditions of tho country.
WHEAT ESTIMATE TOO LOW
So Says the State drain Inspector of
State of Washington..
Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 20. Stat
Grain liispcctor Arrasmlth, In an i-j
turviuw, raid today: "I belle vo tho
timnto of tho 1002 wliOJt crop, rocentlj
published, in much too low. Tho pat
lished figure place tho yield of tin
stato nt 18,000,000 bushels. I hai
no desiro to pad the figures of this
year's crop, but I am satisfied that
21,000,000 bushels Is a very conferva
tlvo estimate. I base my ohtimnte 1
follows: Tho acreage sown to wheal
this year was about a 10 per cent in
crease over tho acreage sown Inst year
1 he crop this ear has been nines
lighter than last, but tho decrease
acru will not amount to more than 3C
iter cunt. Add the 10 er cent iuJ
creased acreage, and wo havo at least
7-1 per cent of last year's crop, or about
26,000,000 hm-liulH. "I liavo lust re
turned from a trip through tho ea-der
part of tho state, and find that in inani
counties the yiuld was considerable
underestimated. Fur Instance, is
hitman county tho yield was fros
30 to 40 bushels to tho acre, which is 1
very fair average yield. I here ar
other localities where tho yield has I
overestimated, and where tl u crop die
not run over 16 bushels to the aero, bal
those places are no, many. There is
an ImmeuNn amount of wheat held
tho warehouses of tho eastern part 1
tho state. In many of tho towns aloni
the lino the warehouses aro full, a9
great stacks of wheat aro piled uj
along tho sidetracks and covered witl
tarimuMn. There is also a lar
amount of tho crop still in tho hand
of tho farmer. While east I vljlt
many farms whom practically tr.
entire crop was still stacked up In tt
fields or stoned away In tho burns."
