f 10 THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 1903. HEED WATER ONLY Harney and Malheur Counties Cry for Irrigation. GOVERNMENT AID QUITE LIKELY Corps of Engineers Xovr at Worlc Ascertaining the Practicability of Establishing Vat Storage Reservoir at Head of River. Judge "William Miller, District Attorney tor the Ninth Judicial -District of Oregon. Is here from Ontario, and la registered at the Imperial. He has been a resident for the past 21 years of Eastern Oregon, and expresses an unlimited amount of confi dence In the resources of the southeastern portion of the State. In an interview yesterday he stated that the prospects are good for the Govern ment's early aid In solving the irrigation problem in Harney and Malheur counties. For the past two weeks a corps of engi neers In charge of Engineer Newell have been operating at the head of the Malheur Biver to determine the practicability of establishing a vast storage reservoir sys tem to hold the high waters of spring in check for use In the dry season. "According to preliminary surveys that have been made by competent engineers," said Mr. Miller, "it Is evident that the head waters of the north fork of the Malheur Riyer can be drained into Sll vies Valley in Harney County. This val ley is about 18 miles long and will average about five miles In width. It Is so level that a moderate sized dam at its lower end will make a lake of its entire area. "In the dry season the early spring water which could be stored in it would be serviceable In Irrigating the large amount of lands bordering the lower part of Sllvies River, and passing later from these lands It would be collected In Mal heur Lake and pass from that Into the south fork of the Malheur River for use in the fertile valleys through which it passes. "Mr. "Whistler, one of the engineers who. made the preliminary survey, says that the project is entirely practical. It the men who are representing the Government there now arrive at the same conclusion It is probable that the thing will materi alize at no distant time, and if It does it will benefit that portion of the State more than any one unfamiliar with the condi tions there can realize." The Judge said further that it would be practical to form a series of reservoirs through the Malheur Canyon, but as the expense would be great the' could only be made by national aid. An excellent site for one of these Is at the Harper ranch, which embodies a valley seven miles long and two or three miles wide. "When the snow melts In the early spring an enormous amount of water flows away from the higher mountains, and if but a part of this could be retained till summer a vast amount of land now overgrown with sagebrush could be utilized. Bordering the lower Malheur are thou sands of acres of rich soil that is uncul tivated, but which could be made to pro duce from six to ten tons of alfalfa an nually if It could be irrigated twice 'or three times during the season. This soil is formed largely from decomposed lava enriched by vegetable matter, and com bines all the chemical elements necessary to plant life. Mr. Miller estimates that 40 acres of that land well watered can be made to produce a good living for any family. There is an abundance of this land yet unclaimed. On the uplands and table lands of the Malheur River, Bully Creek. Willow Creek, Owyhee River, and Snake River aro miles and miles of It awaiting the llfe-glvlng element of water and the hand of man to convert it into landscapes of beautiful homes. The desert appearance of this land often misleads the stranger Into the con viction that it is of but little value. But the localities where irrigation is carried on give an undeniable evidence of what it may produce. Fruits and vegetables raised on the Malheur River, have on sev eral occasions won the first prizes at State fairs, though the profits on hay are generally so much greater than on other poducts that but little exportation of the latter has yet been made. Malheur and Harney Counties are al most identical In their interests. Each has exceptionally good agricultural and stock raising resources, though the development of the former industry in each Is yet in its infancy. In earlier times the large cattle companies, such as the Lux & Miller Company, had unlimited access to the range, but of late years settlers have "been crowding them tb the wail. There is a gradual change taking place and advanced civilization Is succeeding fron tier life. "With the decline of the cowboy period the rest of the State is begining to real ize that Southeastern Oregon has other resources distinct and separate from that : of cattle-raising. And even now there are but few who really know what- a promis ing country it is. "Ah," said Mr. Miller, nodding his head emphatically, "that country Is an empire of hidden wealth. What It needs Is ad vertising to bring in the men of industry. It needs, too, as I have said, to have the Irrigation capacity enlarged, and it needs a railroad to bring It and Its products In direct contact with the outside world. It will take time to accomplish all this, but the wealth Is there awaiting to be cap tured by the people who are willing to seek it. "Its one great disadvantage has been its lack of transportation facilities. There has yet been no use of producing anything beyond that which is needed for local con sumption, with the exception of livestock, for It could not be disposed of. Of course, there Is a little portion of Malheur County that is touched by the Oregon Short Line, and this gives, as it were, a sort of an outlet, but not until the road now partly constructed up the Malheur River is com pleted and in operation, will that part of Oregon he fully appreciated by the rest of the State. To the class of people now occupying that locality. Mr. Miller had many compli ments to offer. He-explained how the un selfish hospitality of many ranchers was shown during the last winter. The hay in some places gave out long before the grass was high enough in the Spring to support the cattle. As a result hay went lip to a very high figure. It could scarcely be obtained for $15 per ton In the stack. He told of several Instances where men who had plenty on hand in excess of what they would need did not charge their fellow-cattlemen the prico that the hav demanded, but allowed them to borrow It with the understanding that It should bo returned next season without any addi tional amount as Interest. Some even went so far as to part with so much as to leave themselves in danger of running short. In regard to the old county-seat fight between Vale and Ontario, Mr. Miller said that the tendency was to drop it The people were realizing that they could ac complish more by working for a common Interest than dividing on local issues. For several years the two towns have been contending for the seat of the county gov ernment, and at times the issue gave rise to much bitterness. The matter has been brought before the Legislature on differ ent occasions, and each side has spent more money on the matter than It de served. Now, however, the outlook for an agreeable settlement is promising, and the more conservative citizens of each nino are looking forward to mutually working aw cu-j guuu uu. uie couniy. Citizens of that part of Oregon, he ex plained, have in" the past been so content to make their money, easily by the grow ing of livestock that there was nq reason for them to seek immigration, and, indeed, many of the ranchers were opposed to the country becoming thickly settled. Now. however, there is a growing feeling that the country should be built up and its re sources developed. There is a probability that a county board of trade will soon bo organized in Malheur County, and that a systematic method of determining the area of various kinds of land, the data of production and resources of the county will be established together with pro visions for sending this material abroad for the information of intending settlers. WORSE THAN AN ORPHAN Little Roy Kisor Is Reared la H&Hats of Vice. "Worse than an orphan." said Chief of Police Hunt last night, as he heard the story of little Roy Kisor, who was brought to the police station by Officer Price. Although scarcely 6 years old, the boy has no one to care for him, and no one to love him. His mother offers him neith er care nor attention. Afraid of a beat ing, the boy last night refused to go home. He was found late In the evening by Policeman Price. The latter was not on duty, but as he was passing Third and Market streets, he heard a sharp report and listened. Another and another rang through the still evening air. "He's killing the whole family," mused the ofllcer. "It's me for the detective force," and he started at top speed for the scene of the shooting. As he turned the corner, he beheld the harmless little boy sitting on the sidewalk and lighting firecrackers. "What do you mean by disturbing peo ple in that way?" asked Price, when hei saw the cause of his alarm; but a- mo ment's conversation showed him that there was something strange about the boy. "Where's your home?" he asked. "Ain't got no home," answered the boy in the most matter-of-fact way. "Where do you live?" "Wherever my mother goes I generally go." "Where is she now?" "She has rooms on First and Washing ton." The stern officer of a moment before became the good-natured man willing to help the little fellow out. "Well, this is no time for such little boys to be out on the street," he said. "I am going your way, and I will take you home." Overjoyed at finding an agreeable companion, the little fellow trotted along by his side and showed him to a room where he said that he and his mother stayed. There was no one there, and the officer thought he had made a mistake. He in quired of. the peoeple in the house, but they said they did not know the boy and were sure that he did not live in the house. He was taken to the police station and an effort made to find his people, but no one seemed to know him. Finally Charles Rosle, a bartender at the Boston, was found and said that he knew the boy. "I have been taking care of him as' well as I could for nearly a year," he said. "I am working and cannot look out for him. When he gets hungry he comes down to the saloon and I give him money to get something to eat with. He has been sleeping with his mother, but of late she has taken up with a German who tends bar a day or two In the week to keep from being arrested on a charge of vagrancy. This man is very mean to the boy, and beats him so hard that he is afraid to go home." Rosle seemed to manifest a great inter est in the little fellow's welfare, and said that he would send the boy to Beaverton to the Catholic school If the police would permit it. Chief Hunt, however, after hearing the story, decided that it was a case for the Boys and Girls Aid Society, and ordered the boy to be turned over to Officer Hawley. HATCHERY AT ONTARIO GIRLS WIN DIPLOMAS. Commencement Exercises Held at St. Helen's Hall. The fragrance of June roses and the presence of hosts of girls in dainty light gowns made the commencement exercises of St. Helen's Hall seem of quite the ideal order. The graduates of the class of 1903 are Miss Elizabeth Stuart, who completes the academic course, and Miss Mary E. Bays and Miss Augusta Humphrey, from the kindergarten training class. Bishop B. Wlstar Morris presented the diplomas and at the same time presented Miss Pearl Grimes with a beautiful lov-ing-ci'p, the gift of Miss Eleanor Tebbetts, principal of the echool. The honor was conferred upon Miss Grimes after her classmates had voted her to be the most obedient and courtetous girl In the school. After the religious service, conducted by the bishop, the commencement exercises were begun by a Spring song by the chorus class. Right Rev. Frederick Keator, bishop of Olympia, then addressed the graduates and the school and gave much earnest and valuable advice as to the way to lead a happy and successful life. He urged the importance of self-control and spoke in a cheering way of the strength there always is in Christian hope. Miss Bellus played a charming noc turne by Field, and Miss Lily Banfleld, one of St. Helen's Hall's most popular sopranos, sang "The Flower Girl" (Bevi quanl). "Llebestraum." by Uszt, was a delightful piano solo by Miss Sloss. Miss de Bevoise sang "When Cella Sings," a charming soprano solo by Moire. Bishop Morris presented the diplomas in the cordial and gracious manner charac teristic of all his speeches of this kind. and his address was received with deep attention. The bishop praised the girls for their obedience to their teachers and for their high scholarship. "Tou can take no better text," he said. "than obedience and courtesy. The life and blessings God gives you are to teach you this that you are to be obedient through all the duties and responsibilities of life." Miss Ethel Webb sang Dudley Buck's "When the Heart Is Young," winning much applause. The programme ended with an overture, "Rosamunde" (Schu hert), played by Misses Grimes, Bellus, Sloss and Tanner. A great many roses and carnations were presented to the graduates and the singers, and between the numbers of the programme the two small ushers, Georglana Leadbetter and Paul Rlggs, were kept busy with flower laden errands. SEW PLAJTT WILIi BE READY FOR TJSEJ THIS SEAS OX. Master Flsa Warden Speculates ea tkc Return of Propagated Sal raoa to t&e Willamette. Master Fish Warden Van Dusen said yesterday that the new hatchery buildings and epuipment at Ontario will be ready for use this season. "A Portland architect is drawing up plans," remarked Mr. Van Dusen. "Next month after the freshet subsides we shall place our racks to head off the fish. The salmon which will reach the hatchery at Ontario have been entering the river for the past month. "The earliest fish that come In go up the Willamette. That's in February. March and April and in, the first half of May. It Is noteworthy that few salmon come into the Willamette after "May 15. Fishermen have told me this for several seasons and each year has verified It. I watched it closely this year and sure enough, it came true again. "There will not be another run of salmon in the Willamette until FalL The fish will come again in August and will continue through September and October. These salmon do not reach the high waters of the Willamette. The United States hatchery on the lower Clackamas propagate these late fish. "But the early salmon go to the head waters. They're the fish which the state hatchery on the Upper Clackamas has been propagating." Mr. Van Dusen is convinced that the Upper Clackamas hatchery has kept up the early Spring runs of fish. This hatch ery was the first to do large work In Columbia waters and the fry which it sent out four and five years ago are now com ing hack. The run of fish In the Co lumbia last Spring was good. Mr. Van Dusen believes that they were Willamette River salmon. "It's Interesting to note," he went on, "that when the Willamette is full of back water it receives few or no salmon from the Columbia. In Spring months, when the Willamette is a strong stream, It has runs of salmon. A peculiar variety of salmon, not. however, so peculiar In Its outward appearance as In Its instinct, seems to choose the Willamette every Spring to propagate In. I don't know why this is and I can't predicate this charac teristic absolutely. There's sometlung very mysterious about it The fish may choose the Willamette for the tempera ture or the taste of Its water. Some per sons presume that the salmon have a sense of smell which guides' them up this way. It looks queer, doesn't It, for fish to have gumption enough to come back into the very stream to propagate in which they received their life. It all goes to show how little we know of the Impulses or reason or instinct of the salmon species. Whether these salmon are the creatures of a peculiar evolutionary pro cess in which the season of the Willam ette freshets or the temperature or taste or smell of Its water has been the for mative influences, we don't know. It certainly Is a subject big with mystery." Little fishing Is going on in the Colum bia just now, because of high water and drift. "When the river Is rising, said Mr. Van Dusen, "salmon do not run. They halt in their progress up stream until the river begins to fall. This Is what old fishermen tell me and their testi mony Is as good as any. There may be 100.000 salmon In the Columbia between the Willamette and The Dalles, but they won't move up stream until the river be gins to recede." The Legislature at the last session ap propriated $15,000 for hatcheries at On tario, in Wallowa County, and on the McKenzie. Mr. Van Dusen does not know how the money will be apportioned between the three stations. ALLAN A. WRIGHT RESIGNS Leaves the Knickerbocker Hotel to Return to Portland. SEATTLE, Wash., June 1L (Special.) Allan A. Wright, manager of the Knick erbocker Hotel, of this city, today re signed, and at a meeting of the stock holders F. C.

Mr. Wright leaves Seattle tomorrow for Portland, where he will again connect himself with the management of the Port land, which he left at the time he came here, three months ago, to open the new house. Wanted In Dalian. John Chittenden was arrested last night by Detectives Day and Kerrigan on a tele graphic dispatch from John H. Ashoot. Constable of Dallas. The complaint stated that Chittenden was wanted for obtaining money under false pretensss at Dallas. He was found by the detectives on the towboat Maria. Call for Condition of Banks. WASHINGTON. June 1L The Con troller of the Currency has Issued a call for the condition of Notional banks at the close of business Tuesday, June 9. WOMEN WOULD NOT POSE that they are notorious pickpockets. I know their records for several years back. They have been working-this town off and on lor several months, and this is the first time we have had a chance to get them. We keep pictures of all the notori ous rogues, and the pictures of these wo men should be in the rogues' gallery." "I have not investigated the matter thoroughly," said Chief Hunt, "but I do not think the officers would strike a man under such circumstances, much less a woman. I am inclined to think that we had a perfect right to take the pictures. Detective Day knows them to be crooks, and we make a practice of keeping the pictures of such people for reference." As soon as it was reported that one of the women was seriously injured. Chief Hunt telephoned for Assistant City Phy sician Dr. Slocum. He made a careful examination, but said that be found no evidence of any injury of consequence. "There were a few bruises," said he, "which might have been caused by the grip of tne officers in holding her." Attorney Hume sent a physician of his own ohooslng to examine the case. Mr. Hume says that his physician found un mistakable evidence of violence, and was unable to tell how serious the injuries might be. "I asked him," said Mr. Hume, "if the bruises he found could have been caused by the officers in trying to hold them, and hesald that there was unmistakable evidence thit they had been struck violently.'" DRUNK AND JEALOUS. JeflE Miller, Blacksmith, Is Arrested While in a Frenzy. Family troubles reached their height last night when Jeff Miller, a blacksmith who has a shop at Fourth and Davis streets, went home drunk and accused his wife of being disloyal. Mrs. Miller resented the charge, and by the way of showing his displeasure the enraged man broke up all the furniture in the house. He then seized his repeating shotgun and announced that he was going out to get Clinton Haight, whom he be lieves has been paying attentions to his wife. An officer was quickly summoned, and the jealous Benedict was placed un der arrest. The charge made against him was "drunk and disorderly." According to the testimony of Miller at the station, he has been suspicious of his wife for some time. "Young Haight has been at our house nearly every evening for seceral weeks," said he last night. "Only the other day I told him that he must never come on my premises again. Yesterday I was working in the shop and some one telephoned to me that he and my wife had gone to Van couver together. I thought It was a good chance to catch them, and started at once to see If the report was true. I found them together on the road to Vancouver. I don't see why I should be arrested. I simply was trying to protect my family, ana every man nas a ngnt to- ao mat." As Miller was discoursing so freely upon his affairs he was leaning against the railing for support, and his words were jumbled out In a way that showed a few more drinks would make him speechless. Patrolman E. S. Nelson had made an in vestigation of the circumstances and as sured the captain that the man was only telling his drunken fancies. "He Is a hard drinker," said the police man, "and when he gets drunk he Is very quarrelsome. When I arrived at the house today I found that he had broken up a large amount of the furniture." Policeman Teener arrested him, and said that when he arrived at the house Miller was sitting on the back porch with the gun In his hand. "I am looking for him," said he. "If he ever comes on these premises again I will kill him." Alleged Pickpockets Refnse to Be Photographed. When an attempt was made yesterday to take the pictures of two women pick pockets at the city jail, trouble started which is still brewing, and promises to become interesting:. Miss Mary Manning, alias Amelia Moran, and Ella Wilson, alias Lizzie Wyman, were the cause of all the trouble. Attor ney Hume, their counsel, yesterday made open charges of brutal assault against the officers who were present when the pic tures were being taken, and later stated that he intended to file a damage suit against the Police Department and the City of Portland for $10,000. The two women were arrested Wednes day night on a complaint from a man who said that he had been robbed by them. Detective Joe Day declared that they were noted pickpockets, and that he knew their pedigrees from A to Z. The one who gave her name to the police as Manning he declared was none oihcr than the cele brated Amelia Moran, known from coast to coast as a clever pickpocket, and the other, Lizzie Wyman, of almost equal fame. As Is the custom In tho Police Depart ment, the official photographer was sum moned, and the women were taken into a room to have their photographs taken. When they saw the game they offered a strong resistance. Detective Day was making an effort to hold one of the wo men while the photographer made the ex posure, but she would not submit With a frantic yell which could be heard for blocks, she began to fight and scratch until tho detective had about all that he could do. Jailer Branch and Officer Price, who did not know anything of the picture be ing taken, heard the screams and thought something very wrong was happening In the room. They jumped Into the elevator and hurried to the scene, Just in time to assist in holding the woman. An exposure was made on the first victim, but the second fainted, or pretended to faint, and the officers gave her case up as a bad Job. The picture of the first when developed proved to be of no value. Their case came up for hearing in the Municipal Court yesterday morning, with Mr. Hume as their attorney. One client was present, but Miss Wilson did not ap pear in the courtroom. ' "My client .Is not able to appear," said Mr. Hume. fShe Is not able to be out of bed." He then proceeded to give the offi cers a good rounding up. xoe iwo women were taxen into a room, said he, warming up to his re marks, "and an effort was made forcibly 10 taxe tneir pictures. .No charge has been made against them, and If there wa3 a charge, they have not been proved guilty. Of course they would not submit to having their pictures taken in such a way. When they found that they could not handle them, the officers kicked and beat them until one Is seriously Injured ana tne other is badly bruised up." Judge Hogue was not ready to hear the case, and continued it, fixing a ball of $30 each for the appearance of the two women. "The whole thing Is an outrage," said Mr. Hume, after he had talked to his clients. "I think that we have Just cause lor damages, and shall file a suit for $10. 030, provided my clients do not change tneir minds about prosecuting the case.' The officers who were present deny the charges made and say -that the women were not struck or kicked, and that they were not nanoieci rougniy. "I am sure there were no blows struck while I was there," said Officer Branch "We each held an arm Until the photog rapher could get the picture. One woman tried to make us think that she was hav ing a fit, but I think It was only make- believe." Officer Price gave the same testlmonv. Detective Day insisted that he'dld not strike tne woman, and that he only used what force was necessary to keep them sun wnue tne pictures were belntr taken. "I know theiHt" said he "and I know PERSONAL MENTION. Dr. M. M. Davis, of Corvallis, Is in the city. C. W. Nibley, of Baker City, Is at the Portland. F. A.

After many years of railroad service Mr. King "retired to his 330-acre ranch adjoining the townsite. which he has cultivated until It is like a garden, and from the heights of which he sees trains come and go and never regrets that he quit railroading. He says -"Malheur Is all right." State Senator E. V. Carter, of Jack son County, is a guest of the Imperial. Mr. Carter thinks the Republicans did excellent work in keeping the Democratic majority cast in his county for Reames in the late Congressional election, so low. "When we consider all the circum stances," said Mr. Carter, "I think we made a surprisingly good showing. Jack son County is the home of Reames, who is personally a young man of high char acter. The wonder Is that the Republi can ticket was not snowed under there. In Josephine Count there was much money bet on the election, and to this fact I attribute the Democratic victory there. Every Democrat in Grant'3 Pass, had money bet on Reames. Consequently they all worked like beavers, and as the bulk of the votes are cast In that city, Hermann lost the county by a few votes. But It didn't matter. He won by a large and wholly satisfactory majority in the district at large." NEW YORK, June H.-SpecIal.)
