THIS IS IRRIGATION WEEK IN PORTLAND
CONVENTION WILL MEET TUESDAY AND WED
NESDAY sr WHAT RESPECTIVE LAWS PROVIDE
A convention -will be held In Portland Tuesday and Wednesday to consider
irrigation. Delegates to the number of several hundred will attend from all parts
of Oregon. The gathering promises to be one of the most Important ever called
together in the state. Irrigation offers vast possibilities In Oregon for develop
ment of resources that now He dormant The resolutions of the convention will
be received by the Government as a, partial guide for its reclamation -work, and
as an expression of popular sentiment In this state.
The discussions of the convention will cluster about two centers. One of these
centers will be the Careyt act passed by Congress In 1S94. The other will be the
National irrigation act, passed at the last s-sslon of Congress.
In the minds of many people, the respective purposes of these two laws are
not clearly defined. . The convention is called in order to explore intricately the
realm of each law, and to draw a sharp line of demarcation between the two.
The two acts are upon tho statute books not to conflict with each other, but to
supplement each other. Congress, in enacting the National law, did not Intend
to maim irrigation enterprises undertaken under the Carey law. About 5900,000 of
the National reclamation fund Is available for Government Irrigation in Oregon.
The convention will recommend to the Interior Department In what districts of
the state this money would best be used.
THE CAREY ACT.
By the Carey act a state may obtain
patent to -not more than 1,000,000 acres of
arid lands, for the purpose of reclama
tion. The state Is required to cause these
lands to be Irrigated, occupied and culti
vated by actual settlers, in tracts not to
exceed ICO acres each.
The National Government deals only
-with the state, not with Individuals or
companies. The state must cause the
lands to be reclaimed, not only according
to the terms of the Carey law, but also
according to such rules and regulations
as may be prescribed by the Secretary of
the. Interior. A lien is allowed against
the lands for the cost of reclamation.
In 1901 the Oregon Legislature passed an
act accepting the terms and coriditions of
section 4 of the Carey law. '.
The text of this section is as follows:
Bee 4. That to aid the public land states In
tbe reclamation of the desert lands therein, and
the settlement, cultivation" and sale thereof "In
Email tracts to actual settlers, the Secretary
of the Interior, with the approval of the Presr
ldent, "be, and hereby Is, authorized and em
powered, upon proper application of the state,
to contract and agree, .from time to time, ivlth
each of the states in which there may be sit
uated desert lands as -defined by -the nt enti
tled "An act to provide for the sale of desert
land in certain states and territories," ap
proved March 3. 1877. and the act amrndatory
thereofi approved March 3, 1S01. bindlne the
United States to donate, grant and patent to
the state free of cost for purvey or price uch
' desert lands, not exceeding 1,000,000 acres In
'each state, as the state may cause to be irri
gated, reclaimed, occupied, and not less than
20 acres of each IGO-acre tract .cultivated by
actual settlers, within 10 years next after the
passage of this act, as thoroughly as Is re
quired of citizens who may enter under the
said desert land law.
Before the application of any state is allowed
or any contract or agreement Is executed or
any segregation of any of the land from the
public domain is ordered by the Secretary of
the Interior, the state shall file a map of the
caid land proposed to be irrigated, which shall
exhibit a plan showing the mode of all the
contemplated irrigation, and which plan shall
be sufficient to thoroughly irrigate and reclaim
said land and prepare It to raise ordinary agri
cultural crops, and -shall also show the source
of the water to be used for irrigation and
reclamation; and the Secretary of the Interior
may make necessary regulations for the reser
vation of the lands, applied for by the states to
date from the date of filing of the map and
plan of irrigation, but such reservation shall
be of no force whatever if such map and plan
of Irrigation shall not be approved. That any
state contracting under this section is hereby
authorized to make all necessary contracts to
cause- the said lands lo be reclaimed, - and to
'Induce their settlement .and cultivation in ac
cordance with and subject to the provisions of
this section; but the state shall not be author
ized to .lease any of said lands or to use or
dispose of the same in any way whatever) .ex
cept to secure their reclamation, cultivation
and settlement.
The Oregon Law.
The Oregon law of 1901 empowers the
State Land Board to enter Into contracts
for the reclamation of the lauds granted
under the Carey act. This board consists
of the- Governor, Secretary of State and
State Treasurer. The applicant for a con
tract must negotiate with this board, giv
ing a complete description of the lands.
The board then appoints an agent who
examines them and reports their char
acter to the board. If he finds the lands
arid, the board appoints an engineer. This
engineer Is required to Inspect the lands
In person, to make surveys for reser
voirs, canals, etc., and to submit his re-
XATIOXAL IRRIGATION LAW.
This law Is based upon a report of &
commission of 12 members of Congress.
The law was enacted last June. But for
tHe understanding reached by Congress
from this report, enactment of the law
might not have been possible, becauso
the proposal of launching the Govern
ment into a wholesale policy of irriga
tion met with strenuous opposition. Only
by the assurance that each project of the
Government would be on a thoroughly
economic and business basis; that funds
expended thereon would be returned to
the Government, and that enterprise un
der the Carey law would not suffer Inter
ferenceonly on this assurance was op
position to the law quieted. The sense
of the report Is expressed in the follow
ing two excerpts:
Private capital appears to have reached the
limit of Its usefulness where the water supply
Is a matter involving the rights of different
states,' and the states themselves are more or
less loth to proceed In the matter, because they
lack the resources for the undertaking. .
The proposed policy of National irrigation is
not, however, along the lines of Irrigating the
land, but rather Unmake possible the utlllza
tlon by private enterprise the vast extent of
fertile land and of the treat "floods and rivers
which go to waste. (Page 1072.)
Under any suggested combination of interests
in reclamation, the Nation must construct the
reservoirs, the large tunnels and diversion
works from the great rivers. The experimental
deep or artesian wells . . . and other works,
the magnitude of which entails cost too great
for private enterprise are too far-reaching- for
state action. (Pace 1079.)
Preliminary work under this act Is slm
liar to that under the Carey act. In fact.
many of the provisions of the two "are
based upon the same plan. In substance,
the National irrigation act is as follows:
All the money which accrues to the
Government Treasury from the sale of
public lands will be devoted to irriga
tion. But, under the policy of making
each enterprise return the money ex
pended upon it, the reclamation fund will
be in the nature of a working capital not
to be diminished. This capital will grow
from year, to year until it will make pos
sible a much grander system of work
than Is now beginning.
The Secretary of the Interior Is directed
to make examinations and surveys for
location of irrigation works. The recla
mation service Is a branch of this depart
ment. Its object is to obtain water from
streams or artesian wells. The depart
ment may withdraw from public entry
any lands which it deems can be bene
fited by Irrigation, and may restore to
public entry any part of such withdrawal
when such part Is not required for de
velopment "purposes. This may be done
before or at the time of the surveys.
All homestead entries made during the
withdrawal will be subject to the terms
of the new act as to acquisition and
tenure.
The Secretary of the Interior shall de
termine whether each projept Is prac
ticable. If he shall decide affirmatively,
he is directed to restore the specified
lands to public entry in tracts of not less
than 40 acres, nor more than 160.
Upon the determination by the Secretary-of
the Interior that a project is prac
tical, he may let contracts for construc
tion, apportioning the. necessary funds
from the reclamation fund. He is rer
quired to announce the limit of the area
per entry -which may reasonably be re
quired for the support of one family
thereon. Charges shall be made per acre
upon the- entries, and upon lands In pri
vate ownership, which may be irrigated
by the system.
The charges shall be determined with a
view of returning to the reclamation fund
the cost- of the construction of the proj
ect, and shall be apportioned equitably.
Milwaukee and .Kansas City, and in re
turn for thla concession Van Brunt, of the
Western League, Is to be given a half in

ciation club.
In its communication to the arbitration
committee the "Western League states It
refused to sell out In Kansas City and pro
posed- that the American Association sell
ts Kansas City club for J20.000. The
Western League's second proposition is.
that the American Association give up
Kansas City and the Western League will
relinquish Milwaukee.

No. 12 was wrecked six' miles north of

five cars left the track. The only one

Injuries received. The engine and bag

end of the mall car is smashed.
Three passenger coaches are off' the
track, and the trucks are all knocked off
the cars. The baggage car Is lying across
the track, and the three coaches are diag

40 feet from the rails. The track is bad-
was opposed to that method, and he act
ively canvassed the helpers and got most
of them to quit. The superintendent of
the mine viewed this as Interference with
the management, and Evans was dis
charged. The union immediately demand
ed that he be reinstated, and accused the
superintendent of showing partiality and
spite. The demand for reinstatement was
refused and a general strike was ordered.
All the men went out at once.
The strike has been conducted very
quietly, and no discord Is feared. The
miners have put their demands formally
before the company. They ask for one
man, one contract, and one helper only
for one shift. They alsb request that the
company grant them, the use of the hall
In the town so that they may hold their
meetings there. At present they have to
go a distance of two miles before they
can reach a place where they can meet.
It Is thought that the trouble will qulckly
be settled.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 16. Unless he
has reached shore or been" picked up with
in the last two or three days, a man la
riding the waves In a small catboat far
at sea off the Mendocino coast. When
last seen the lone voyager appeared to
be doing well, with a prospect of reaching
the coast, but the diminutive 6ize of his
craft and the frequency of stiff breezes
along that stretch of coast make his
situation Interesting. A report of tna
incident was brought today by the schoon
er Coqullle, 11 days from Coqullle. For
ty miles off Fort Ross the captain re
ported he saw a catboat containing one
man. biit owing to the fresh- wind was
unable to come up with the boat. The man
was over a mile distant and under the
pressure of a square sail was making
fairly good time. He waved his hat
toward the Coqullle. but whether as a
salutation or as a signal of distress was
not known. .

pills to rouse the liver to action. Carter's
Little Liver Pills are much better. Don't

rules of the Secretary of the Interior,
this report must give also the estimated

and must state the amount and source of
the water available. All this work must
be without cost , to the state. If the
board approves the plan, It may let a con

tract.
The Oregon law requires the receiver of
the contract to furnish ample water to

signing of the contract between the Sec
retary of the .Interior and the state; that
he expend one-tenth of the amount of the

the work to completion with due dili

contract, CO days after notice of failure
from the state land agent, the entire plant
may be sold and the contract relet by the
state.
After the contract has been entered into
the state forwards all the maps, plans
and engineer's report to the Secretary of
the Interior. These are accompanied by
a certificate and affidavit -of the State
Land Agent, and the Register and Re

cutes a contract to the state, agreeing to
patent, free of cost, any portion of the
lands selected. But it is stipulated that
proof shall be given that water can be
supplied sufficient to reclaim the 6ald
lands; and that not to exceed 160 acres
has been sold to any one person; and
that each purchaser Is an actual, bona
fide settler upon the land, and is a citi

his intention to become such.
After the execution of this contract, con-

HARD LUCIC OF FISHERMAN.
Sent to Barren Island and Aban
doned for Loner Time.
SAN PEDRO, Cal., Nov. 16. J. Logan,
E. Richards and William Yunker, three
fishermen who were sent to 4he barren
island of San Nicholas, about 90 miles
from San Pedro, In the latter part of Oc
tober, were rescued in a famished condi
tion today by the gasoline launch West
ern. Captain Hyder. The voyage of the
launch Western, which left San Pedro
Thursday night to go to the relief of the
men. was a stormy one. Shortly after
putting to sea a strong northwest wind
lashed the sea into great waves and al
most swamped the little craft. So desper
ate was the situation at Santa Barbara Is
land, 27 miles from San Nicholas, that
Captain Hyder and his assistant, named
Stout, were obliged to lash themselves
to the stanchions to avoid being washed
overboard.
Reaching the Island Friday Captain
Hyder and Stout set about rescuing the
men. The sea was so rough that a land
ing could not be made, and when the
three starving fishermen attempted to
put off In a boat they wero swamped and
only reached shore again after a des
perate struggle In the sea. Saturday
mcrnlng a successful attempt was made
to take the men off. When they finally
reached the Western and were taken
aboard there was- nothing for them to
cat, the entire supply of the Western
having been washed overboard. A raw
fish was found and of this the famished
fishermen ate greedily. When they were
brought to San Pedro today they were in
a very bad way.
The story told by the fishermen Is
one of hardship and suffering. They
were employed by' a Los Angeles
fish company the last week In October to
go to San Nicholas Island, where they
were to he supplied with food and water
by weekly trips of a San Pedro boat.
There was a disagreement between the
fish company and tho captain of the boat,
however, and he ceased his trips to the Is
land, leaving the marooned fishermen to
their fate. For seven days prior to their
rescue, the abandoned men had subsisted
upon a diet of dry coffee and coarse salt,
eked out with a sparse supply of wild
ducks which they killed with stones and
ate uncooked. The only water they could
obtain was found In crevices.

Prince Edward of Saxei-Weimar.
LONDON, Nov. 16. Prince Edward of
Saxe-Welraar, died here today from con
gestion of the kidneya
March, and Raker was nominated by the
Republicans to succeed the Judge who
had punished him. He was elected by
goodly majority on November 4. He con
siders this a sufficient vindication of his
conduct. There is still pending In the
Supreme Court of California a contempt
case In. which Raker was fined $500 by
th3 trial judge. He took an appeal im
mediately, and It remains to be decided
whether he must pay the StKX).
About a year ago the farmers residing
near Lookout suffered many petty depre
datlons, such as the maiming of their
cattle and horses, the stealing of parts
of their harnesses, farm machinery, etc.
As a consequence, they were very much
wrought up and made great efforts to
discover the guilty parties. Finally,
quantity of rope and harness that had
been stolen were found on the premises
of three Indians. Two white men who
associated with the Indiana were sus
pected of complicity in the offense, and
the Ave were placed under arrest. Late
that night, while the men were being
guarded by a deputy constable, a party of
about 25 men seized the prisoners and
hanged them from a nearby bridge. The
lynchers were masked with white barley
sacks drawn over their heads.
Detectives were put upon the case, and
finally two young men were found who
made what was supposed to be a con
fesslon. In which they charged the crime
to 19 men besides themselves. Tne aep
uty constable was charged with being
party to the lynching, and he was placed
on trial first. Tho trial lasted 9a days,
tho defense insisting upon a very exhaust
ive cross-examination and calling many
witnesses to disprove the testimony of
the witnesses for the state. Twice din
ing the trial a witness drew a revolver
to shoot Raker, and he was saved from
harm only by tho prompt intervention of
bystanders. On one becasion a witness
left the stand .and rushed upon the at
tornev to do -him bodily harm. Raker
defended himself by whacking his as
sallant over the head with a pointer he
held in his hand.
It was for insisting upon his right to
cross-examine the state's witnesses that
Judge Raker was committed to jail by
Judge Harrington, who was on the bencn
One witness having been committed to
jail. Judge Raker brought habeas corpus
proceedings, and because of the matters
he set up in his petition he was fined $500.
At the end of the 95 days' trial the jury
was out four hours, and brought In a ver
diet of acquittal. The decision in one
case was considered an Indication of what
would result In the other cases, and all
the defendants were dismissed upon the
motion of tho prosecution. That the case
was warmly contested Is Indicated by
the fact that four attorneys were en
gaged on each side, Judge Raker being
tho leading attorney for tne aerense.
WANT SALVAGE MONEY.
Suit of Collier Crew for Saving Prop.
erty of Cruiser.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16. An ad
mlralty suit of unusual interest to marln
ers, involving novel points of maritime
law, will be begun tomorrow by Attorney
F. R. Wall, of thla city (formerly of
Portland), acting as proctor for Howard
H. Ross and 19 others.
It Is an action against the United States
to recover claims alleged to be due the
plaintiffs for services rendered in saving
money and stores from the cruiser Yose
mite, which was wrecked and foundered
off the Island of Guam during a typhoon
in November. 1900.
In their bill of complaint - Ross and
his fellow libelants, who comprised the
officers and crew of the collier Justin
allege that on September 17. 1900, they
shipped on board the collier under the
usual articles for merchant seamen, ai
thouEh she was In the service of the
Government. It Is further alleged that
they have presented their claims to tne
Auditor of the Navy Department, but said
claims have been disallowed- by both that
official and the Controller of the Treas
ury. The ground upon which these
claims wero disallowed was that the
claimants, being in the service of the
Government, were not entitled to recover
salvage on account of services rendered
to another vessel owned by It. The libel
ants, however, claim that having shipped
as merchantmen, and not being enlisted
men, they are entitled to all the rights
and privileges of such merchantmen, In
HOW THE BODY
There is a homely old say
ing that nobody ever dies
except for want of breath.
There is more truth in this
than most people know.
Breathing means more than
is generally imagined.
The lungs are not the only
organs with which we breathe.
The; whole body breathes.
This is not a figure of speech.
It is an actual fact.
What the lungs do when
they breathe is to take . in
oxygen and give out carbon
dioxide, and the same process
goes on all over the body all
the time in the little cells that
make up the nerve-centers,
tissues and., blood. This is
called internal respiration. It
is the chief process in "the
work of tearing down used-up
tissue and allowing new ma
terial to be . built in its
place. !
If we'could understand this
process entirely we would
understand life, , but we can
only study it through its
effects. We know that Scott's
Emulsion helps this process
of cell and tissue-repairing to
go on very rapidly. We know
it very speedily produces
good blood and healthy flesh,
but we can only partly explain
why. v.
The emulsion contains ele
ments which are very sensi
tive to oxygen, and the inmost
life cells are always hungry
for oxygen. Perhaps the
emulsion helps them to, get
it. That is how a great
chemist accounts for it.
Scott's Emulsion is rich in
carbon, and carbon is particu
larly needed in sustaining the
energy which shows itself-in
heat and various forms of
both mental and muscular
activity. It contains an abund- .
ance of other properties which
we know are specially de
manded by the system in
conditions of poor, health.
But no theory will entirely
account for the beneficial ef
fects of Scott's Emulsion, just
as no theory will quite explain
the curative effects of sun
shine. This emulsion combines
the full strength of the whole
cod liver oil, perfectly emul
sified with the highlyedjci
nal properties of hypophos
phites of lime and soda. This
combination not only makes
the oil easy to take .and easy
to digest, but greatly increases
its natural value. Scott's
Emulsion, is beyond doubt
richer than any other known
food or preparation in the
nourishing properties heeded
when the blood is poor or the
system run down.
Each package of Scott's
1 Emulsion bears the - trade
mark label of a man carrying
a big fish on his back.
Well send you a sample fre
upon request.
