THE HORNING ORBGONIAK :KRH)AY, MAY 4, 19051. 3 MAY NT n YAKIMA Government Ready to Irrigate v Great Valley. ENGINEERS SEEK PROJECT State Work Under Carey Act Xot an Obstacle State Xiand Commls ' sloner Urges Construction of Paloase Scheme. OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, May IS. State Land Commis sioner Ross, of Washington, had a con ference today with Chief Engineer Newell, of the Reclamation Service, dis cussing: Irrigation prospects In Eastern Washington. Contrary to the position he Jias formerly taken, Mr. Newell to day stated that the fact that the state had selected land In the Yakima Valley to be reclaimed under the -Carey act would not necessarily prevent the Gov ernment from building a project in that region. On the contrary, he assured Mr. Ross that if T. A. Noble and other Government engineers can find a suit able project, and one that Is thoroughly feasible and of reasonable cost, the Government will irrigate with the wa ters of the Yakima River or Its tribu taries. Only recently Government engineers had stated that if the state perfected Its selection of Yakima Valley land no federal irrigation project would be built in that vicinity. Reclamation en gineers arc now concentrating efforts on the selection of some feasible pro ject in the Yakima Valley, and there is considerable hope, in fact a strong in dication, that they will succeed. After the conference today Mr. Ross expressed the opinion that the Govern ment could, and should, build the Pa louse project. The fact that the un derlying earth and rock in the princi pal reservoir site is porous need not, in his opinion, prevent construction, for he says the reservojr could be lined with cement and made watertight. While the lining would increase the cost of the project, Mr. Ross says the Palouse country is naturally rich, and Irrigated lands there will easily stand any reasonable expense for water. He strongly advocates construction of tho Palouse project, cement lining and all, and so advised Mr. Newell. What at one time threatened to de velop into a serious conflict between the Reclamation Service and the State of Washington appears to have been avoided. WALLOWA RESERVE CREATED Whole Powder River Range In East ern Oregon Included. OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, May IS. President Roosevelt has signed a proclamation- creating the Wallowa forest reserve in Southern "Wallowa and Northern Union counties, to embrace practically all of the Pow der River Mountains. This reserve fol lows in general lines the boundaries of the withdrawal made two years ago, which embraced a little mora than 650, 000 acres of mountainous timber land. The creation of this reserve is in line with the President's recently an nounced determination to materially extend the reserve system in Oregon. This reserve, like the Chesninlmus re serve, in North Wallowa County, is created for the dual purpose of the pro tection of timber and preservation of the water supply. Other reserves are to follow. LAID WASTE BY HURRICANE Islands or South Pacific Lost Cocoa nuts, Boats and Lives. CORRESPONDENCE OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. TAHITI, Society Islands. May 6. (via San Francisco. May IS.) The meager de tails carried by the steamer Mariposa, of the destructive hurricane which swept through French Oceanica from March 23 to March 23, gave little information of the havoc wrought. It is now well known that the northern half of the Tuamotu Archipelago suffered the worst. The wind blew 100 miles an hour and the sea swept over the- islands, destroying many villages and one-half of the cocoanut trees. Two dozen small sail ing craft and three largo vessels were wrecked. Six years will be required to replace tho cocoanut trees. The financial loss in this group was more than 5200.000. It is estimated that ten lives were lost. In the wreck of the Eclalrcul, a 40-ton vessel. Samuel Han-is. a pearl fisher, formerly of San Francisco, perished. The vessel "was carried ipon a high wave upon -a reef and broken to pieces. When Captain Porutu of the Eclalreul and his crew were swept ashore, they lost con sciousness and. upon regaining their nscs, found themselves far Inland In a bruised and bleeding condition. They later found the body of Harris. Six men were lost in sailboats near Kaukura and Arutua, and It is probable that other fatalities will be reported. The village of Tauteru. Tahiti, lost 20 or more houses by the inrush of the fea. Prof. Wragge's prognostications about hurricanes at this season in this quarter have been fully verified. Only the caution of the people in seeking places of shelter prevented a dlstaster similar to that of two years ago at Hlkuera, when 600 per sons perished. Lavlna Chapman, a hotclkceper, has been recommended to the President of France for the distinction of a medal in commemoration of her heroism in rescu ing a woman drowning in Papeete Harbor. specified perfedT He declined, .as one ,of the trustees, -to enter these negotiations. Lord InVerclyde repudiated tho sugges tion that anhnue toward --the Mercantile Marine Company resulted from these ne gotiations or a desire to convince' the pub lic that such a combination is detrimental to the Cunard Company. SNUB TO BOOMERS OF SATO Called Down for Excessive Ardor, German Patriots Resign. BERLIN. May 18. A crisis has sud denly occurred in the German Fleet Society, causing the resignation of Generals Mcnges and Helg, two of the highest of the active directors. According to stories printed in the newspapers, the trouble is due to tho too far-reaching demands of tho soci ety In its propaganda for increasing the strength of tho navy, which had grown embarrassing to the govern ment. During the recent debates in the Reichstag various speakers sharply criticised the society for its too ex tended plans for naval construction and the short space of time In which It was proposed to effect that construc tion, and particularly its disposition to Impugn the patriotism of persons not sympathizing with Its views. It is asserted that the highest pa trons of the society have received an intimation from the Government that it would be advisable to dampen the excessive ardor of the. leading spirits in the naval propaganda. This caused tho managing directors to resign. FRANCE TICKLES THE TEUTONS By Sending or Special Envoy to Royal Wedding. . BERLIN., May IS. The newspapers here comment appreciatively today on the action of France In deciding on a special .envoy to the wedding of Crown Prince Frederick William and Duchess Cecilia of Mccklenbcrg-Schwerin June 6. although It is asserted that too much meaning ought not to be attributed to the incident, as it is a customary cour tesy. France, it is pointed out, sent special representatives in 1SSS to the funerals of Emperors "William and Frederick, and the French Ambassa dor, with several officers of high rank, represented France at the wedding of the present Emperor, who then was not Crown Prince, but only the son of the Crown Prince. STIFFENED SULTAN'S BACK. German Mission Causes Rejection of AH French Demands. BERLIN, May IS. The German govern ment appears well satisfied with the re sults recently attained by tho mission to Fez. The Sultan of Morocco, according to the Cologne Gazette;, has refused all tho French requests, except that 2000 troops be placed under French instruction. County von Tattcnbach-Ashold. tho head of the German mission. Is content with the reception accorded the mission and with the real character of German in fluence at the Moroccan capital. Church Must Assume Old Debts. PARIS. May IS. During the considera tion of the bill for the separation of the church and state In the Chamber of Depu ties, the important clause was passed de ciding that the responsibility for the re payment of church debts, contracted while the church was a state institution, falls on tho newly formed parochial societies, which henceforth will receive the church revenues and control the edifices. Where no such society has been formed, the local authorities will be liable for the debts. Tenor Insists on. Coming to America. MUNICH, May IS. Hclnrlch Knotc has written to the management of the Royal Theater asking, "for immediate release from his engagement, because the Munich Zcitung has criticised the management for agreeing to let him go to New York for five months next season, necessitating the engagement of a new tenor for the period of his absence. FRREWELLTO RE1D New Ambassador to Britain Feasted by Friends. HIS RELATION TO THE PRESS Veteran Editor Recalls Necessity for Secrecy in War and Diplomacy and AVarns Papers Not to Offend Other Nations. NEW YORK, May 18. Three hundred prominent citizens attended a farewell banquet given to Wbitclaw Rcld. United States Ambassador to Great Britain, by the Lotus Club tonight. Among those at the table with Mr. Rcld were Senator Depew, Clark Howell, of the Atlanta Constitution: M. H. DeYoung. of the San Francisco Chronicle; Edmund Clarence Stedman. Rev. Ernest M. Sticres, Presi dent Nicholas Murray Butler, of Colum bia University; ex-Mayor Low. Rev." M. J. Savage andtGeorge II. Daniels. Mr. Reld, after sympathetically review ing notable events in the life of tho club and speaking of the memories they evoked, said with reference to his ap pointment as Ambassador to the Court of St. James that tho most -gratifying thing about it was the way it had been received. He said: We have been 11 vine In a strenuous time. No man In this treat metropolis and in my plac could well escape aa active .part la the Incessant controversies and turmoil of the last third of a century: and rny critics, I believe, have ccnerally asrecd that I apt to as sume at any rate my full share of them. Af ter such a life, to have this appointment made by the President of my country with out the filing of a single recommendation, and approved by the Senate without a. dissenting voice, and received by the press and the public -fcith such apparently general cordial ity, nils me with a sobering kwc of rejjwn nihility beyond anything I have ever felt be fore, and with earnest aspirations that all this generous confluence may prove in the end not to have been wholly misplaced. Can't Report to Newspapers Now. 1st me take the opportunity before this club, to largely made up of members of the pretw and others of literary and artistic pur suit, to tay further that the thing that has touched me most of all is the unbroken good Rill expressed with such heartiness and with out distinction of party by my colleagues In the prcts. May I presume a little on this? I would like to take the liberty it pointing o-jt that other work may now bting different duties. No one, 1 trust, will ever find rac unmindful of the rights and claims of the profession 1 honor moft In the world, and I am the proud est to have j?rvd. No man can have spent his life In newspaper work without being led by all hi habits and Instincts to svmnathlzA with newspaper workers and a readiness to laciutate their efforts. And yet. may I hint to the general manager of our wonderful .Associated Press service, whose wary eye 1 see upon mo, and to the others In Ic re sponsible places who may have chanced to think of the- matter hitherto with Ie.a ncru pulous care than the general manager him self and his representatives In the great cap itals always show that there may come In fact there must come, a time when It 'will be my duty to report first and exclusively to the Government Instead of reporting to the newspapers. It is perfectly true that an open course Is best: that a fre rwl t0 Vmw 'tram day ta day what Ss beiag 4ee' in their mm. aa4 by I Weir atttfeerity -tfcit er Government is set adapted tef secrecy and oe sot like to make a mystery of l" move ments and its polfcr. Bat the Japanese have been showing, on a great scale, that there Is a duty la nar which under any -sagacious government mast come before the duty ef furnishing bulletin for Ini tially papers. Diplomacy, If It la to be. sa gacious or BKCceesfsl, even the diplomacy of a resubllc. must be somewhat In the same class. Neither caa always be- advaatageoualy conducted coram publico. Adrlce to Free Prcsa. There Is another phase of our newspaper ac tivities that merits more serious considera tion from us all than we rtnerallj- give It. The free press largely rule a free people. It may make peace or war; it has done both. But It Is Quite capable of fomenting very grave differences, which ft never desired or Intended or even thought of. In our great dis tances and Isolation between two oceans and general feeling of remoteness and elbow-room and Independence, It has sometime been apt. In moments of excitement, to measure Its words as little In dealing with a high-spirited and senattlvo nation as with a candidate for town constable or the Board of Aldermen. Is It not time for the press, when It exercises the power, to recognize also the obligations of consideration, moderation and scrupulous re gard both for the rights and the susceptibili ties of others? In conclusion Mr. Reld said he hoped to maintain "in full force that good un derstanding between ourselves and Great Britain which has grown clearer and stronger at each step Ir our advance in the paths that have been steadily broad ening before us even' day and month since our peace with Spain."

The London Dio cesan Conference now In session -here under the presidency of the Bishop or, London, passed a resolution today de manding, an amendment of the English marriage laws so as to preclude the re marriage in -church' of divorced persons during the lifetime of the other party to .the proceedings.
