NIUST BEAR PORTION OF COST fGovernment Finds the Vacant Land pense, but the Work Is En tirely Feasible. -- THE JtAJLHEUB COUNTRY. The Malhour River. In the lower part of its course, passes through broad valleys already partly developed. The Bummer flow of the stream Is utilized for Irrigation. In order to reclaim ad ditional lands, it -will be necessary to store the flood flow in larlous alleja traversed by the rler. Engineers hae examined a number of these allej, and submitted very favorable reports. Malheur Rher and Billy Creek are la-vored as sites for the principal reser voirs. . OREGON NEWS BUREAU, Washlng ton, July 12.

Mr. Newell -visited Vale and Ontario, and at both places addressed the farmers. o his surprise and disappointment, he led to find any live interest In irriga tion, or any particular desire that the Government should undertake the storage and distribution of the waters of the Mal heur River for the benefit of present and prospective farmers of that region. On the other hand, he said the farmers ap- . peared so busily engaged in harvesting jinJrJ. Mi tViitr nivsMt won as tn care nothing .jJi about the future, and apparently tvould . "" X. mnt tu nrnnwrt in thf Imnortanee of irri gation In Malheur County. Project Entirely Feasible. Investigation of the Malheur project by Government engineers are about com pleted, and show that this project is entiroly feasible, and that about 100,000 acres of fertile land can be irrigated at a cost, approximately, of 530 per acre. So much of the tract that can be irrigated by this project has already been settled upon that not enough vacant public land remains to justif the Government. In undertaking this work unless the present owners of land desire to share the benefits and will bear their share of the cost of the work. Some land now in private ownership yields two crops. With irriga tion a third would be Insured. Others yield less, and some will be of no -value, except for grazing lands, until irrigated. Farmers Not AH of One Mind. There Is considerable grumbling among the farmers over the cost of Irrigation. While some admit that the increased yiold will justifj the expense, others doubt it Mr. Newell now repeats that unless the farmers get together before October, and form an organization and appoint some one to deal with the Government, and, moreover, submit some agreement to pay their proportionate cost of the construction of this work, the Govern ment will turn Its attention elsewhere and abandon this project There is great pressure on the reclama tion service from other parts of Oregon, and more especially from other states, and three months Is the limit now given in which Malhour farmers may avail themselves of the Government's propo sition. Investigation of the Umatilla project has not yet solved the reservoir prob lem. .No suitable location has been .found -where water can be safely stored, for the soil throughout that region appears to be loose and sandy and will not hold water. It may be necessary to abandon this project, because of the inability to secure a tiam site; but there is yet hope of ultimate success. PORTLAND BID IS THE LOWEST N. J. Blagen Will Probably Construct Idaho Irrigation Works. ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, July 12 Nells J. Blagen, of Port land, is almost certain to have the honor of doing the first construction work In the Pacific Northwest that is authorized by the Government under the National irri gation law. Blagen was the lowest bidder out of 17 who submitted proposals for tho construction of the dam and head works of the Minidoka irrigation project in Southern Idaho. This project contem plates the reclamation of a great area along the Snake River and along the Ore gon Short Une, and is the first project where construction has been actually au thorized in the Northwest The Geological Survey today recom mended the acceptance of Blagen's bid, and it will unquestionably be accepted by the Secretary of the Interior. The con tract will approximate 5290,000, the exact amount depending upon the quantity of materials used. The work is to be begun as soon as Blagen can Install his plant SECURES OREGON POSITION. Special Indian Agent Will Become Superintendent at Umatilla. OREGOIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, July 12 Special Agent Charles S.

Moses Holds Hawailans Should Not Have Been Given Self-Government. BERKELEY, Cal., July 12. Professor Bernard Moses, of the department of his tory at the University of California, and an ex-member of the Philippine Commis sion, declared today, while lecturing on dependencies at the Summer session of the university, that the natives of the ter ritory fit Hawaii should not have been given universal suffrage by the American Government He stated that a serious governmental blunder had been commit ted by the American people In granting the islanders such a franchise. During the course of the lecture Pro fessor Moses said: "The Hawailans have never had any training in Government, and they were totally unprepared and unfitted for suf frage -when they received It The class antagonism which exists in the islands may be In a measure traced to the fact that the right of suffrage has been grant ed to the natives To thrust upon a peo ple of their standing the power to vote was unwise, from my point of view. It Is difficult for the people low In the grade of civilization to have any political sense. The Hawailans have the fundamental lesson of governing jet to learn, and that is to act with reference to the wel fare of a large community."
