MHY WIN HIM ICK
President .Becomes theCIdse
Friend of Dubois.
THEY AGREE ON FORESTRY
Stand. Taken by Idaho Senator in
Favor or Reserves Against Pub
. He Opinion of His State Se
cures Him Influences
OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, June 2. President Roosevelt has
hojes of making a good Republican or
Senator Dubois. In fact, be has several
times Invited the senior Idaho Senator
back Into the fold, and has assured him
he -would be received In full fellowship
if he chose to return- But Dubois, on
purely political questions', continues to be
an anti-administration man. .
There is one thing, though, that has
strengthened Dubois with the President
his recent determined stand in support of
the administration's forestry policy, and
his defense of the Federal policy of irri
gation. The fact that Senator Heybum
is working at cross purposes with the
President over forestry questions serves
to .make Dubois the stronger at the
White House. More than that, the Presi
dent has been informed by men who
know, that the forestry policy of today is
unpopular in Idaho; that a majority of
the people are decidedly opposed to it,
and are fighting his purpose of creating
new reserves.
But -in matters of forestry, as in other
matters, the President is sure he is
Tight, and having that assurance, is go
ing ahead. Those who are with him are
heartily commended, not ao much be
cause they support the President, but be
cause they support a policy that has
proven successful, and Is working in
every Western state to the Interest of
the public, and against private greed.
The forestry question did not become
a sharp issue bctwgeen the Idaho Sena
tors until Senator Heyburn filed with the
President his strong letter of protest
against the creation of new reserves. He
did . not consult his colleague, but went
ahead independently. When Senator Du
bois saw what his colleague had done, he
set' to work to collect facts in his own
possession, and additional confirmatory
facts furnished him by the Forestry Bu
reau,"and then proceeded to rip Senator
Heyburh's protest to Shreds'.
It Is the opinion of experienced men
that Senator Heyburn made a very grave
mistake when he undertook to fight the.
President on the forestry question. It may
be true, in fact, both Senators admit it Is
true, that the overwhelming sentiment in
Idaho today is against the President, and
Senator Heyburn took the -popular side.
So did Governor Gooding and Rcpresca-
tative French. But they 4incd up at an
unfortunate time. No sooner had they
thrown down the gauntlet than the Presi
dent returned from the West, had a con
ference with Gifford Pinchot, chief of the
Forestry Bureau, and read the letter of
Senator Dubois than he squarely defined
his position, and announced to Senator
Heyburn and his colleagues and followers
that they would have to swallow a bitter
pill, for he intended to create seven big
reserves, in face of their protest.
Most Western Senators and Represen
tatives, Republicans as well as Demo
crats, arc In hearty accord with the
President on his forestry policy. They
believe that forest reserves, properly ad
ministered, will 'operate to the public
good. Without these reserves it is only
a matter of a few years before Weyer
haeuser and half a dozen other big lum
bermen will have cleared away the mag
nificent forests of the West, as they have
swept the East, and the Western states
will be the poorer for all future time.
One of the principal reasons why the
President is creating so many reserves
in Idaho is to check the devastating op
erations of the lumber kings, who have
no eye for the future, but are gobbling
up everything in sight, for their Imme
diate personal benefit.
It is not charged, in fact, it is not be
lieved that Senator Heyburn. Governor
Gooding or Representative French are
knowingly playingInto the hands of lum
ber barons; nor is it charged or believed
that they are opposing the President
from any wrong motive. As it is under
stood in Washington, these men, like thfi
rank and file in Idaho, do not fully com
prehend the President's plan of prac
tical forestry; do not understand how
forestry is working to the public good,
rather than public harm, and ,in their
ignorance, or lack of comprehension, if
you will, are going ahead blindly, blun
dering against fearful odds. Their stand
will hurt them in more ways than one,
and it is confidently believed they will
in time fall in with the Administration.
But they are paying dear for their expe
rience. Meanwhile, Senator Dubois profits.
IRRIGATION ON SNAKE.
Private Enterprise to Take Water
Appraved by Government.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, June 2. Permission was given
to the Continental Construction Company
to divert water from Snake River, Wash.,
on recommendation of Major Langfitt,
engineer officer at Portland. This com
pany is now building an Irrigation canal,
intending to reclaim about 7000 acres of
land. In reporting to the Department in
favor of the project. Major Langfitt sub
mits a brief description of the same.
He says:
Kiv-MIle Rapids In the Snake River la Mt
uated about Ave miles above the Junction t
that river with the Columbia lUver. Tae
canal leaves the Snake River In the pool
formed by Five-Mile Rapids, running1 down
tbe left bank of the Snake, and Anally dis
charges into that river about "500 feet below.
The canal i to be T0 feet wide on the bottom,
with side slopes of one on one, the depth or
water In It at low water to be Ave feet.
The fall obtained by tbe canal Is stated by
the company to be from S.S to 10.0 feet, de
pending on -the stace or water. At tbe lower
end of the canal they snoops to Install two
Lefffl turbines. Each Is rated at S00 horse'
power and required 25,000 cubic feet of water
per minute to operate It. thus making a total
of W.000 cubic feet per minute which the
canal must supply to operate both wheels, or
about S33 cubic feet per eecond. The two
turbines will operate a pump with combined
capacity of about 200 cubic feet of water per
minute, -or about 42 cubic feet per second.
"With this water they propose to irrigate
about 7000 acres of land, which they claim
cannot be Irrigated by other methods on ac
count of Its elevation above tributary Jtreams.
The low water discharge of the Snake River
to in the neighborhood of 10,000 cubic feet
per eecond. and It la evident, therefore, that
the 42 cubic feet per second takes out for
Irrigating purposes could have ao appreciable
Influence on navigation, and the same la prac
tically true of the S33 cubic feet which they
Civet through the canal from a bene Five-Mile
Rapids to pump the other 42 cubic leet.
This scheme Is but one of a number which
are beln developed upon the Snake River and
other tributaries of the Columbia. For exam-
pie, the Twin Falls Irrigation Company,
of Twin Falls, Idaho, la undertaking, a very
large Irrigation project, taking water from
the Snake River, the total area of land to be
Irrigated being several hundred thousand
acres. This work. It is believed. ha received
tbe approval of the Government Reclamation
Farvlee under the recent 'acts of Congress .re-
latin to Irrigation. "There !?aaother project
proposed, with beadquartera at OarWon, op-
Ytntlla Tnrtrtnn irhtrto nrtiDOmem to take Water
from the Grande Sonde River, a tributary of
Tbe qoeiOon brought up. therefore, i not
o Rtoch whether thUr particular scheme win
3o any harm to aartxatlon, but as to how
much wjperrlslon tbe "War Department pro
poses to exercise over these various projects,
whether they take water from, navigable
stream directly, or whether only from trib
utaries. .It Is evident that. If rufflclect water
is taken away from the tributaries and the
river Itself, the cum of such aubtracUon
'might be sufficient to affect the low water
discharge of the river. As agalnm thla, how
ever, it 1s claimed that. In certain cases at
leart. Irrigation. Instead of decreasing the
low water flow of a stream, will maintain It
If not Increase it, this result being accom
pUsned by the seepage through the soil of
water which has been placed upon the adja
cent lands during the higher stages and
which gradually returns to the river, thus
making its flow more constant. This effect,
it would seem, could hardly be predicted in
any particular case, and In any event will
occur only below or along the lands Irrigated.
In conclusion it may be stated, therefore,
that, subject to the general remarks above,
tbe application of the Continental Construc
tion Gbm'pany for permission to construct a
canal around Five-Mile Rapids for the pur
pone ot pumping wate: to irrigate 'land, as
outlined In their application, would have no
appreciable effect upon navigation at any
stage of the river, and that, therefore, there
would be no objection to granting therfk a
temporary permit for Its construction, sub
ject to proper eupervlsien by the Department
and provided that the works be constructed
In such manner as to' prevent any possibility
of a diversion of the river being caused
thereby.

SURVEYS IN NORTHWEST.
Much Geological and Topographical
Work Tills Summer.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, June 2. It Is the intention of the
Geological Survey during the present Sum
mer to co-operate wjth the State of Ore
gon in making various topographic sur
veys. The state has appropriated $2300
for this purpose, and at least as much
more will be spent by the National Gov
ernment making surveys of the Grant's
Pass mining region, in Southern Oregon.
The Geological Survey will alEo co-operate
with the state in making other surveys at
points to be designated by the State En
gineer. E. C. Barnard, of the Geological Sur
vey, is scheduled to devote the Summer
to completing the survey of the country
about Bellingham, Wash. There will be
stream measurement in Washington, con
ducted under direction of T. A. Noble, the
local engineer of the Reclamation Ser
vice. Topographic surveys are to be
concluded around Pullman, in Eastern
Washington, and when they are out of the
way, work will be done In the vicinity
of Colfax, where the same sort of sur
veys Is to be made.
In Idaho topographic surveys are to be
made In the country north of Wallace and
east of Rathdrura. Including a total area
of 600 square miles. Ralph Cowgill will
be In charge of the surveying party. W6rk
in the Priest River forest reserve will
be in charge of A. T. Dunnington.
The party of surveyors, engaged with
Canadian surveyors, will continue the
marking of the Alaska boundary this
Summer, In accordance with the terms of
the late agreement between this country
and Great Britain.
IS OPEN TO ENTRY AGAIN
Hitchcock's Decision on Land Not
Xecded for Irrigation.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Jun.c 2. As the work of G6vcrn
ment irrigation progresses, more and
more detail In the administration of the
National Irrigation act is being brought
to light, and precedent after precedent is
being established. Only recently Secre
tary Hitchcock was called upon to decide
the manner In which lands withdrawn
from irrigation projects, but found un
suitable, should be restored to entry.
It has been the custom, and will con
tinue to be the custom when reclamation
engineers locate what appears to be a
good site for an Irrigation project, to
withdraw from entry sufficient areas of
public land to Include all the region which
it is believed can -be irrigated. Of course
the withdrawals', which usually m follow
township lines, .must Include a great deal
of land that cannot be reclaimed. It is
the Intention to restore all such lands to
entry.
Under the North Platte project, in Wyo
ming, a case recently arose In which Mr.
Hitchcock ruled that all lands not needed
for irrigation are to be rcstojed to public
entry 'and that they cannot be disposed
of by special agreemnet with owners of
adjoining property.
POLICY HOLDERS
Are More Interested Today Than Ever Before
in the Legal Organization '
of Life Insurance '
Companies
The Constitution of the State of California
Section 3, Article 12,
Provides that each stockholder be individually and. personally liable' pro
rata for ALJj DEBTS and LIABILITIES contracted or incurred during the
time he was a stockholder. .
It also provides that the Directors shall be jointly and severally liable
for ALL moneys embezzled or JIISAPPROPRIATED by the Officers.
Section 10 of the "Act to provide for the incorporation of Mulual Insur
ance Companies for the insurance of rife and health and against accidents,"
further extends the LIABILITY of stockholders.
THE PACIFIC MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF CALIFOR
NIA is the ONLY Company in the United States organized under such strin
gent laws, and there is no other Life Insurance Company transacting business
in America whose policyholders, by legal enactment ,are so safeguarded.
Notwithstanding the liability of stockholders, they receive no 'profit from
the premium payments made by participating policyholders, but every dollar
paid into the company by the latter, with the accumulations thereon, is ap
plied, for their benefit.
Following are the Directors of The Pacific Mutual They are all stock

Professors Talk of Scientific Farming
and Destruction of Pests.
An interested audience yesterday after
noon assembled In the Town Hall of M1I
waukle. under the auspices of the Mll
waukle Grange. Patrons of Husbandry,
to listen to practical talks by professors
from the Oregon Agricultural College.
Judge Byan. of Oregon City, delivered
the Introductory address, in which he said
that the time had come when farming
should be done In this country along sci
entific lines.
Dr. James WIthycombe. of the Agricul
tural College was introduced, and he said
at the outset that the farm, presented
more Inducements to the young man than
almost an occupation that could be
named, and expressed the hope that young
men would remain on the farm Instead of
rushing to the city and losing their Iden
tity behind the counter. "Stay on the
farm." said Dr. Withyeombe. His topic
was "Intensified Farming."
Professor A. B. Cordley told about
"Spraying and Pests." He conducted an
Information bureau while on his feet, and
Instead of making a set address answered
such questions as the farmers asked him.
In answer to a question relative to tbe
worms that afe destroying strawberry
plants at Mount Tabor and elsewhere, he
said that there were two nesfs. the crown
borer and the root borer. Professor Cord-
