THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1903. MUST MOVE LIVELY Otherwise Oregon Will Get No Irrigation Help. WAITING FOR THE COUNTIES Executive Committee Will "Walt Until February 5 for Other II e portit of Local Projects, Then Will Send to Washington. "Yes, I notice that the Department of the Interior expects us to present appli cations for irrigation works, if ve want them." said President A. H. Devers, of the Oregon Irrigation Association, yes terday. "I can see the force of hi3 sug gestion that we take action if we want Government aid. We have had this in mind for some time, and have been shap ing our movements with a view to getting Oregon applications before the depart ment. We have some on hand now, and have decided to wait only two weeks longer for the presentation of local schemes. Then we will forward what we have. "We had to stir up the various county" organizations in order to get these a -plications. The only county to act in accord ance with the resolution of the irrigation convention was Klamath. Now that we are after the others, more are coming in. Our executive committee will do its share to have Oregon adequately represented in applications for the Government irriga tion work." Secretary Has Three Reports. Reports concerning lands requiring irri gation through Government aid are arriv ing at the office of Secretary James M. Moore, of the Oregon Irrigation Associa tion, but so far have come only from Klamath, Crook and Harney Countlos. It is especially requested that reports from representatives of Umatilla, Baker, Was co, Grant and Malheur Counties be sent to Secretary Moore not later than Febru ary Z, as they have to be carefully consid ered at a meeting of the executive com mittee of the Oregon Irrigation Associa tion before transmission to Washington. D. C, so that Government officials can arrive at an estimate of the appropriation required to Irrigate Oregon's arid lands. The 60 days' time allowed for the prepara tion of these reports expired January 20. Klamath County's report, from J. Frank Adams, of Merrill, follows In part: "I send you a picture of my flume across Lost River. It is 540 feet long. 32 feet wide and three feet deep. The ditch loading up to It is GO feet wide and three feet deep, on a grade of seven-tenths of a foot to the mile. Tou will see by the picture that the water divides at the east end of the flume and drops Into our old ditch about 25O0 inches of water. The 'drop is four feet. The old flume is to the left. The new flume Is not finished, only having a pari of the side boards. When we get the new ditch extended as far as it will be built, the flume will be taxed to Its full capacity. We expect to irrigate from the new ditch about 7000 acres. At present we irrigate about 2000 and about 3000 with the old ditch. Our company has been in the busi ness for 17 years, and we have made a once sandy desert into an alfalfa field. We take our water from Little Klamath Lake and cut through a dividing ridge IS feet deep and one mile long. We contem plate Improvements to cost about $9000, by which we will got water as late in the season as we wish it. ... We have be tween 40.000 and 50.000 acres of land In this county that ought to be reclaimed by a proper irrigation system. The land I have reclaimed is being sold at good figures, but the land above the ditch is not worth anything. I think, to place this matter properly before the Government officials, the land to be Improved should be sur veyed, plotted and valued and the cost given of the construction of ditches. and flumes. Our County Board is mostly in favor of cutting down all expenses, and does not do much for the development of the county at large." Croolc Connty's Ileport. Crook County's report, in part, is as fol lows: "Crook County. Oregon, nas an area of more than 5.000,000 acres, equal to that of the whole State of Massachusetts, and more than that of the States of Con necticut, Rhode Island and Delaware combined. Of this 5,000.000 acres, about 1,000,000 are within the boundaries of the Cascade Range Forest Reserve and the Warm Springs Indian reservation. Of the 4,000,000 aero? in this county available for settlement, fully one-half or 2,000.000 acres is capable of being Irrigated if the waters which fall upon Its surface and flow down its etreams are properly conserved. "The region lyjng between Crooked River and the Deschutes is a vast plateau eloping gradually to the north, and is com monly known as the Great Oregon Desert. This plateau has an elevation of from 2500 feet at the north, to 3500 feet at the south ern boundary of the county. The soil is rich decomposed volcanic matter mixed with decomposed vegetation that t has produced for ages, and is fertile and high ly productive under irrigation. It is now covered with Dunchcraso. sage and juniper trees. The juniper is a species of dwarf cedar and attains a height of 15 to 40 ieei; it is an excellent firewood and is unsur passed for fence posts. In many places on the desert this growth la so dense that It assumes almost the proportions of a forest. Underlying the soil is the original lava flow or strata of Indissoluble basaltic rock. Borlnga have never been made to ascertain the depth of the lava, but along the banks of the streams where It forms the 'rlmrocks' it appears to be from 25 to 75 feet In depth. This plateau has an area of nearly 1,000,000 acres, all Govern ment land, and has long been the Ideal field of the irrigation promoter. Water from the Deschutes River can be con ducted to and upon nearly every legal sub division of this tract in canals and ditches without the necessity of constructing or maintaining expensive dams, flumes or reservoirs. Thle site is earnestly recom mended as the most feasible location in the West for irrigation by the United States Government, the cost of construc tion being the minimum and tho benefits at large being the maximum. "The construction of adequate dams and reservoirs at such places Is far beyond the reach of the small settler, and the ca?t would exceed the combined resources of all the settlers to be benefited; and until the United States Government or the state modifies its present theory not to con struct irrigation works for the benefit of lands already patented, existing conditions will nave to continue. It is a notable fact that nearly all the lands that would be benefited, or that are capable of being irrigated under the reservoir system are now held In private ownership. In the southern part of Crook County and the northern part of Lake County lies a -vast plain comprising more than half a million of acres, partially unsurveyed, and of which but little is known. The stockman and hunter, however, have known for years of the existence of an abundance of water at a depth or from two to six feet. In many places these subterranean water courses break through the surface and form springs that afford water for thous finds 6f wild horses during the dryest Summer months. We Invite Investigation of this region as a location for Govern ment Irrigation under the artesian well system." Depend on Snovr. The report from Harney- County, says "SUvies Valley lied in the midst of -a mountainous region which in Winter is deeply covered with snow, largely form ing the source oi ine wa.ier euppiy oi tms valley. This Immense watershed covers an area of 600 square miles. It is known by all acquainted with this country that the annual snowfall averages five feet. It Is estimated that the water supply li ample to fill a reservoir made by placing a dam at the lower end of Slhios Valley CO feet high. Various streams will furnish ample water to overflow Harney Valley, during the Spring, season, so that the waters of the reservoir need not be used until after the first Irrigation. Surveys show that a reservoir cculd be made of Silvles Valley by placing a dam at the lower end. Silvles River shows that the fall from the reservoir to the lands-Irrigated, would be sufficient to Insure the fcafHbillty of conducting the water over tho lands In Harney Valley. Irrigable land in Harney Valley amount to 274,240 acres. "Of this land about C0.OW acres are now under irrigation. The soil of Harney Valley Is a rich black loam capable of producing hay, grain and all other agricul tural as well as garden products. This, vaet extent of land, which can be easily and inexpensively Irrigated, now supports a population of less than 4000. Once Irri gated and reclaimed It would support a population of 50.COO. The principal products now arc wild hay, and where water can be obtained, oats, barley, wheat and rye. The principal occupation now is stock raising." DOMESTIC SCIENCE SCHOOL The Relation of Food to Health or Disease. PORTLAND. Jan. 28. (To the Editor.) Since the days of Solomon the efforts of STATE TO HAVE NEW SEAL BILL TO BE INTRODUCED IX THE LEGISLATURE. Seal In Use at Present Does 1 Not Comply With the Law Xor Form Suitable Emblem. At tho request of Chilrman H. W. Cor bett, of the Lewis and Clark Contennlal, State Senator H. E. McGinn of Multno mah County will introduce a bill In the Legislature providing for a seal for the State of Oregon. Oregon has never had a seal in requirement to the law, and it is thought by those Interested in the com ing1 1905 fair that now is the best time to select a state emblem that will be significant of events in the history of the state. Chairman Corbott 5'csterday sent the following letter explaining the proposed bill to Senator McGinn at Salem: Dear Sir: I Inclose or your consideration, and for presentation to the. LeKislatlve Assem bly for enactment Into law, a bill for an act to provide a seal for the State of Oreson. It Is essential that we should have a state seal, as the- one now In use docs not conform to the law of June 2, 1B00. The bill which I have submitted to you contemplates the adoption of the best joints of the territorial seal of June eupported by 33 stars. In the center, a shield, two compartments. Lower compartment In the foreground, a plow; In the dlstanc. moun tains. In the upper compartment a ship un der full sail. The crest, a beaver. The sin ister supporter a trapper in Winter hunting, costume, with gun. The dexter suDDorier an eagle with wlnys displayed. The motto alls volat proprils. Legend seal of the State of Oregon, and the date, 1ST0. Field of the lower compartment, argent; field 'of tho upper com partment, blue. Sec. ?. Tho Secretary of State shall be re quired to procure the seal described In the pre ceding section, and draw his warrant on the Treasurer therefor. Sec 3. All acts or parts of acts In conflict herewith are Hereby repealed. The question of the seal of the State of Oregon has always been a perplexing one, and Is no clearer today than it ever was. Oregon .was .provided with a seal by tho act of 1S57, but this seal has never been , used, and is objected to by many persons j as being meaningless and Insignificant. . The first seal ever used in this state was I round, showing three sheaves of wheat and a salmon, with the word "Oregon" written above. This seal was made in 1846. and was used by Governor Aber nethy as a provisional government seal. In 1S54 the Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Oregon adopted a seal which is in nearly every respect the original of the new one that is provided by the bill drawn up by Mr. Corbett. The only dif ferences are that there are 33 stars sup porting the escutcheon in the new one and the date "1S59" In the band below in place of the five stars shown. The fig- MERIT OF METRIC SYSTEM HAS ALREADY WOX ITS WAY IX MOST EUROPEAN COUNTRIES. Consnlnr Report Tells of Its Success in Germany, and Gives Sugges tions to United States. In one of the most interesting Consular reports that has come from the State Department for a long time Vice-Con-sul-General Dean B. Mason, who Is at present in charge of the American Con sular office at Berlin, tells about the in troduction of the metric jystem in Ger many. If any sort of a French invention could win the approval of the Germans It would Instantly commmd the atten tion of all Europe, but he says that pretty nearly all Europe is already committed to the metric system, too. That Is why the present revolution has attracted so little attention. .The whole world has been looking for years for a common unit on which the whole world's business could be transacted, and Consul Mason thinks It lies In the metric sys tem. In his report he says, in part: "In view of proposed legislation to ren der the metric system obligators' for Gov ernment use In the United States, an the change would Involve far greater ex pense and Inconvenience. "In considering the question of the adop tion of the metric system In the United States, the one valid objection that can be raised Is the difficulty of the change. Ow ing to different political and industrial conditions, the experience of European countries is of limited value to the United States; but their experience tends to show that the radical measure of rendering the metric system permissible for a certain period, after which it becomes the only system that Is legal. Is an effectual way of bringing It promptly Into general use, and Is far more economical and satisfac tory than half-way measures. ' Tho experi ence of Germany also shows that an effi cient bureau of weights and measures is one of the most potent and necessary fac tors in making such a change. "While the general Introduction of the metric s'stem Into the United States will undoubtedly cause temporary expense and trouble, the benefits derived from Its adoption will be permanent, and a far greater population than that of, tho Unit ed States at present will be materially benefited by the change."

Dr. Scott's ELECTRIC Hair Brush FOR ONE DOLLAR WHICH HAS CHANGED A 7000-ACRE DESERT INTO AN ALFALFA FIELD. almost every eminent mind and eloquent pen in master hand have at some time been put forward to solve this problem: "Health and Happiness." We're not expected to know all things, but we can study them together. And as we wander around Jn the garden of thought. In the language of the poet, "we will gather our posey of other men's flow ers; nothing but the thread that binds them is ours." But now difficulties arise, for our field Is so broad that we scarcely know what to select that will be of the most practical use. One of the first things that Impresses us Is that this responsibil ity, with almost every other since Adam's fall, has been laid at woman's door, for in answer to the question whence comes disease, Plato, Seneca and Milton give the answer: "From the kitchen." So many dishes, so many diseases; new con coctions, new diseases such a quantity and variety of food and drink mixed up in one heterogeneous mass, regardless of the elements It contains or of the elements necessary to build "bp the various func tions of the body, is suicidal, and It Is no wonder that so many carry with them a veritable hades on earth. The wonder is that, under such circumstances, any stom ach Is able td do its work at all. Add to this the adulteration of foods with poison ous preparations and deleterious methods of preserving and coloring, and we have our appalling phalanx. In many of the towns and cities women are studying do mestic economy, and including In their studies and investigations the subject of pure foods, and man, ever the champion of his sister when her . cause is Just and ho is reminded of his duty, is putting forth his efforts to provldo food In its highest perfection, and woman, his help mate, should study the best methods of preparing It to bring It to Its highest nu tritive value. If our brother will put into our hand pure, clean food, and the power to demand such, 'we will wteld It right and make of earth a paradise. Dr. Brenton, who has made a study of the physiology of digestion, says: "The craVing for stimulants Is. in a majority of cases, evidence of an impaired vitality and deficient nerve force, the result of de fective nutrition." He also says: "Good cooking Is one of the rfrost effective means of satisfying the craving for drink, and especially the sanitary cook, who leads people into healthful habits of eating and drinking, working and sleeping, of recre ation and study." Glorious work for women to open up the avenues by which this life-giving element- may eventually find Its way Into the homes where the brains shelter the morbid germs of envy, hatred and malice. What higher and more pressing social duty? And if woman comes forth In her armor of truth and thrusts her "shining lance" full and fair against tho flood gates of ignorance, she will send a wave singing over the world that cannot but make Its influence felt In the "repression of sin and conquering of misers. Hut woman should not be left alone to solve this problem of health and happiness. Under existing circumstances, it should have the supervision of the law. It should take Its place in the schools, and the potential homemakers should be taught the first principles of physiology, chemistry and domestic hygiene, with practical applications to enable her to en ter upon the duties of housekeeper, wife, mother and nurse Intelligently, and all the children should be given a course In materia allmentaria. Until this is done, economy of food in its highest and best sense will not be accomplished. Above all they should be taught the true philosophy of life which, teaches us to bring to its highest state of perfection those" things over whjch we have control. Let us ap proach this work with reverence and try to complete the physical structuro and crown it with a dome worthy theirlndwell lng of the immortal soul. To do this we must first find out with what material this structure was commenced, for we must continue the building with the same.

In regard to this matter, I respectfully call your attention to the following note on pajre 497 oi the Dcady and Lane code, one of the dlstlnsruL&hed comollers of which was presi dent of our constitutional convention: "It Is io be regretted that this (territorial) Cv A s& W th I w M m Flgr. 1.

As the seal of the State of Oregon will be emblazoned upon the monument to Lewis and Clark which we shall erect In the City Park Figr. 3. Seal of the State of Oregon as Provided by -the Law of 1S57. of Portland, it should bo official, and, above all, symbolical of the early history of our commonwealth. Yours very truly, H. W. CORfcETT. President. The bill inclosed reads as follows: A bill for an act to provide for tho seal of the State of Oregon. Be it enacted by the Legislative Assemmy oi the State of Oregon, and, also, be It enacted by the people of the State of Oregon: Section 1. That the description of the seal of the State of Oregon shall be an escutcheon ure of the Indian Is made Into a trapper, and a small dividing line is placed across the center shield. The territorial seal of 1834 was used for a number of years, and In 1S57 the follow ing seal was adopted, but never used: An escutcheon supported by 33 stars, and divided by an ordinary, with the inscrip tion. "The Union." In chief, mountains, an elk with haunchlng (branching) antlers, a wagon, the Pacific Ocean, on which a British man-bf-wnr departing, an Ameri can steamer arriving. The second quar tering with a sheaf, plow and pickax. Crest, the American eagle; legend, "State of Oregon." Owing to the muddled state of affairs existing at that time, the old territorial seal of 1S54 was still used, until June 2, 1859, when the seal now In use was re ceived, and since that time it has been tho official seal of the State of Oregon, though contrary to the law in many ways. This seal is In use at the present day by the Secretary of State. In the first place, the seal has only 32 Fig. 4.

' Since 1859, when the present seal was put in use, there have been other seals of the state, but they have all been as faulty as the one now used. One has 30 stars, one 38, and even today tho seal of the Adjutant-General- has only 21 stars, and the Supreme Court 31. One seal was dated 1857, and was discarded. Only to have tho next one made with both a rake and a pickax. During the changes of 1S57 and 1S59 the motto of the state, "Alls volat proprils" ("She flies with her 'own wings"), was lost sight of, and the meaningless label, "The Union," was substituted. The mottc appears on the old territorial seal, which Is, by far the most significant and of tho best general design. A strong attempt will be made to secure the passage of Mr. Corbett's bill, so that during the Fair the people will' not be obliged to say, "Ore gon has no official seal." Many persons zeeb Carter's Llttle-Llver Pills on hand to 'prevent bilious attacks, sick headache, dizziness, and find them Just what they need. effort has been made to ascertain from commission agents, importers, etc., in Germany how far the use of English weights and measures In the United States Is considered a hindrance to the trade between the two countries: and whit results have been obtained by the Introduction of the metric 3yste.m in Ger many, and the value of these results as bearing upon the question at issue in America. Considerable difference of opin ion was found among the parties interro gated as to the extent of the hindrance caused by tho use of different systems in the two countries-. ' "On August 17, 1S68, the liw was pub lished which made the use of the metric system permissible in Germany after Jan uary 1, 1S70, and obligatory after the 1st of January, 1872. Whether the Congress of the United States can or ever will take such radical action is an open question, and the results of- the adoption of the metric system by the American Govern ment for itself cannot be gauged by Ger man experience: but In case It Is even tually decided to render a system of weights and measures obligatory through out the United States, the experience ob tained here has a certain value. Accord ing to testimony obtained at the Berlin Chamber of Commerce and through other reliable sources of Information, the gen eral use of the metric system In whole sale business was introduced promptly without serious Inconvenience or opposi tion, and with very satisfactory results. "Whether the metric system could be In troduced as promptly and easily In the United States as was done in Germany is questionable as Germany is a much smaller country, and the German people submit more readily to governmental in terference and guidance. On the other hand, the American people are certainly less conservative and quicker to adopt new Ideas than tho Germans In 1S72. Prior to the introduction of the metric system, the zollprund, which Is equal to half a kilogram, had been introduced by the custom-houses, and was In general use throughout Germany, but the German cur rency of 1S72 was not based on the decimal system, as Is the case with the American currency. It Is questionable whether the retention of the pfund and some of the other old measures was of advantage. Professor Carstens, who Is an authority and who published several books on the subject, protested against the retention of any of the old measures In a pamphlet which appeared In 1S6S, and his prediction that this half-way measure would be pun ished by delaying the complete adoption of the decimal system has been verified by subsequent events. "While German experience as to the dif ficulties Incident to tho Introduction of the decimal system may be of limited val ue, there can be no question as to the great advantage derived from the change. On this point, public opinion is practically unanimous; whether It be the experts of the bureau of weights and measures, busi ness men. or manufacturers, only one opinion has been found, and when the radical advantages of the metric system over tho weights and measures formerly in use are considered, thl3 unanimity is almost a matter of course. It is only those who have used tho metric system after having been accustomed to the use of other weights and measures who can realize fully- Its great superiority when calculating or computing. "The metric system has spread with ever-Increasing rapidity throughout the civilized world. It has been adopted by the European states, with the exception of England and Russia, and by most of the South American states, by Mexico, and even by Turkey and Egypt, Unless the American people are willing to see the civ ilized nations using. one universal system of weights and measures and the United States and the more backward countries like China adhering to their old and clumsy weights and measures, It Is likely the metric system will have to be adopted. Bot hln England and Russia the sentiment in favor of the metric system seem3 to be growing steadily, and It is likely that It may be adopted In these countries with in the near future. It Is probable that the agitation In favor of the adoption of the metric system In tho United States will continue, and that, if it is not introduced now, it may be Introduced"1 later on, when Ho was away somewhat longer than was expected, and his many friends began to wonder what had become of him when he showed up yesterday in good 'spirits.
