NEW FIELDN WASHINGTON Xot Rated as an Arid State, the Offi cials Had to Do an Immense Amount of the Prellml nary Work. OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash lngton, July 30. It Is fair to conclude, from Information given out by the Re clamation Office, that the Government will not undertake the construction of any irrigation project In Eastern Wash ington before next Summer. Ko such of ficial announcement Is made, but that Is the natural and the only conclusion that can be drawn. It Is not to be inferred, however, that the Government will begin construction work next Summer, although that seems now to be quite probable, and It is what the Reclamation Service is anxious to do, if circumstances justify. Washington suffers, for one thing, be cause, in times past. It was not rated as an arid land state, and no attention was paid to the study of Hs water resources. The consequence. has been that when the Government began the construction of big irrigation works, It-Tcuew nothing of the situation In Washington, and naturally turned to states and territories which were familiar ground. In Washington the work had to begin at the bottom; streams had to be meas ured, arid lands to be. surveyed, and a general study had to be made of Irriga tion possibilities everywhere where It was supposed Irrigation could be carried on. True, there was some private Irrigation, but that was no guide whatever to tho Government: the Reclamation Service had to go in and find new fields, not already Invaded or absorbed by private interests. There may or may not be justice in the criticisms of the Reclamation Ser vice for Its delay In getting to work In Washington. To measure the streams, locate reservoir sites, survey and map canal lines, and estimate the cost of building big projects is no small task, nor Is It work that can be done hurriedly. Had the Reclamation Service rushed in, built a project at some, point, and that project had subsequently proven a fail ure, because some "vital point had been overlooked in construction, there would have been endless criticism and denuncia tion of the service. Had some project been hastily constructed and subsequently collapsed, it would have ruined hundreds of farmers, men who are now uneasy be cause of tho delay. The greatest mistake that has been made has been by those officials who have given assurance that the Government would build this or that project, and have in this manner induced settlers to make entries on desert lands that will prob ably not be reclaimed for a dozen years to come. But there aro two fields open to the Government Jn Eastern Washington, where work may be undertaken next year, Yakima Valley and the Okanogan country. It is not stated that either of these projects will oe built: that Is not known, and cannot be known for several months to come. But indications now point to favorable action on both projects. The fact that the State of Washington has stepped aside to give the Govern ment full swing In Taklma Valley has had a good effect, and there Is every rea son to believe that a part of the Reclama tion fund will be expended next Summer In building storage works and high line canals, which will materially increase the Irrigable area along the Yakima and Its tributaries. At the same time reports from the Okanogan country seem to Indi cate the feasibility of that little 10.000 acre project, though there is still some question if those lands can afford to pay $55 an aero for water, the present esti mated cost. Irrigation in the Olcanogan country will be limited by the amount of water avall abale. and by storage and the utilization of every bit of available flood water, only enough can be controlled to reclaim 10.000 acres. Of this area 2SO0 acres are now un der irrigation or have water rights at tached, leaving 7200 acres to pay the en tire cost of a Government project, at the rate of $55 an acre. The people inter ested in the Okanogan project insist that they can pay this much for water: re clamation officials rather question It. However. Investigations are to be con tinued through the Summer, with a view to reaching a definite and final conclusion regarding the project. In view of the fact that Washington has contributed about $3,000,000 to the re clamation fund, it Is but Just that a part or this sum at least should be expended in tho eastern part of the state. The Reclamation Service recognizes and ad mits this, but does not feel Justified In expending a cent for construction until It Is sure tho project will first be feasible, and., secondly, will be a financial success. The Palouse project is no longer con sidered an Immediate possibility, because or its excessive cost. OUR MISNAMED FISHES Duo to Ignorance of Early English Colonists. The. fishes of the United States aro oddly l misnamed, according to Dr. Theodore Gill, co-operative worker with the Bureau of Fisheries. Dr. Gill says: "The known fishes of England are few, and the early colonists knew few even of them. The newcomers were astounded at the abundance of the fishes about their new home. To these numeorus fishes they transferred names of English species with which they were more or less familiar. On account of the greater number of spe cies common to the two countries, those who came from old England to New England were not very far astray, but as they or their successors wandered farther and farther they made many mistakes. A few examples will illus trate. "Among the most common of the English fishes are the cod. perch, bass and trout. Tho immigrants to Massa chusettg applied these names to fishes of the same genera as the originals, but mostly of different species. Perch has been used in this country as a name for very different sorts of fishes. In England the name is specifically ap plied to a well-known fresh water fish The immigrants to New England found a fish almost undlstlnguishable from it. and gave it the same name. Others gave It to flshos having no real re nemblance. Toe so-called white perch of the Atlantic Coast Is in reality a bass. The silver perch, the gray perCh. v the white perch of the Ohio River, the red perch and the blue perch are all misnamed. "Bass la applied to many different species a score or more. In England it is the proper name of a marine fish common only along the Southern coast. A related species, though of a different genus, was found by the new settlers o .Massachusetts and New York, and quite properly called bass or striped ,bas. There are, by the way, several other species In this country entitled to the name, but which, oddly enough. have been riven the names or otner fish, as, for Instance, the white perch All others are quite remote from the true bass even the so-called black "basses. Trout Is another of the Engllsn names variously misapplied. In the old country It is given to a single species generally distributed through the is land In clear, cold streams. The Pil grims found In similar streams In Mass achusetts a fish somewhat like it, and called it by the same name, although i? Izaak Walton had been among them be might have told them It was not a trout, but a char. Others found in Maine landlocked salmon, and in varl- our large lakes another good-sized salmonld, and applied to them also the name of trout. Settlers In troutless Southern states, bound to give the name to some fish, gave It to the kind generally known as black bass. Along the Southern coast, too, the name trout, or sea trout, was given to en tirely different kinds of fishes. When the Americans reached the California coast they found certain fishes of a pe culiar family, not at all like trout In shape of fins, but spotted, and these they have also called trout. Still an other fish, found In the Gila River a slender, large-mouthed cyprlnld, was called trout by early explorers, and still bears the name. "But this is not all. or the worst. These odd names are not only widely scattered: they accumulate. Cod and trout are given to the same fish along the Pacific Coast. Another fish is called rock cod about Puget Sound, and rock trout and sea trout at San Fran cisco." SENT FRIENO TO PRISON YOUXG BURGLAR NOW CON FESSES TO TWENTY RAIDS. Lester Richardson, 19 Years Old, Has Been Living High In Seattle From Thefts. SEATTLE, Wash.. July 30. (Special.) Xyster Richardson, the 19-year-old' burg lar, who has conressea to more man m burglaries since he was arrested a few days ago, is the lad whoso confession sent Richard J. Dufrane, tho foster son of wealthy Chicago parents to the state penitentiary to serve a two years sen tence for the Whiton hardware burglary. To the end Dufrane. who gave his name as Ralph J. Kinsley, protested his Inno cence, but Richardson, alleging he was an accomplice, confessed and a Jury round the Chicago lad guilty. Because he had given testimony that convicted the Chicago lad. young Richard son won the support of the ponrc and on their representation the court let him oft with a single days servitude in the peni tentiary. It was Impossible to sot Rich ardson to Walla Walla in that time and he was released. From that tlm until arrested again he has been committing frequent burglaries and living llxe a prince off the proceeds. Young Dufrane was adopted by wealthy Chicago people when two years old and until recently did not know he was other than a natural son. He was enticed away from home by Richardson two years ago and the twain have been living a fact life. But even after his arrest Dufrane refused to divulge the story of his Chi cago connections until his attorney se cured tho information. He promptly no tified the Chicago foster-parents and they have offered every facility for fighting for Dufrane's release. But he was convicted and was taken in chains to tho pcnlten tlary a week ago. Now the lad who led him astray and secured his own liberty by betraying him. Is acknowledging a degree of guilt greater than that of Dufrane. MRS. SHUPE KILLED DOUGLAS Jury Says Voluntary Manslaughter and Recommends 3Iercy. BOISE. Idaho. July 30. (Special.) The trial of Mrs. Caddie M. Shupe. charged with having murdered Arthur Douglas at her home in Montpcller the night of July 1. closed at Paris yesterday afternoon. The case went to the Jury at 4:33 and a verdict of voluntary manslaughter, with a recommendation to the court for mercy. was agreed upon at 2 o'elock this morning. Arthur Douglas had made his home with the defendant for the past two years. Last February he Went to another place to room, but continued to pay nightly visits to the defendant's home. She fre quently Implored him to bring his effects back to her house. He repeatedly prom ised her he would but failed to keep his promise. On the night of July 1 Douglas went to the defendant's home and told her he did not Intend to live with her any more. Then she shot him. She alleged he com mitted suicide. Buying Supplies Farther South. SEATTLE. Wash.. July 30. (Special.) Because there are no more supplies to be had in Seattle the Alaska Central Rail road Is now purchasing what it requires In Portland and San Francisco. This is the statement made by W. B. Poland, general manager of the road, who has Just returned from the north. What the purchase of building supplies means Is understood by the fact that the com pany has expended $ 1,000.000 since the be ginning of the year and now has a month ly payroll of $100,000. This is exclusive of the amount of supplies that is being pur chased. The steamship Valencia, which was temporarily running out of Portland, will take 500 extra men and a shipment of horses and supplies from San Francisco tomorrow. That will give the Alaska Central a working, force of 1700 men. 1 BE IS SLIGHT Cooler Weather Now for East ern Washington Grain. SEASON" IS A MONTH EARLY Many Thousands of Acres of "Winter "Wheat in the Palou.se Is Now in Shock Bigger Crop Than Last Year. COLFAX. Wash., July 30. (Special.) Local showers throughout Eastern Wash ington have reduced the temperature greatly and the weather Is not now too hot for grain: The damage to the wheat, oats and barley crops is not nearly so great as was feared during the hottest weather and the .reduction In the yield of the county Is placed by conservative men at nbt to exceed 5 per cent. Fall wheat and early-sown Spring grain has not been Injured In the least, and the damage to the latest-sown Spring grain, of which the acreage Is light. Is not as serious as was feared It would be. Conservative estimates place the grain crop of "Whitman County at 5 to 10 per cent above that of last year, owing large ly to the Increased acreage. Last year's crop exceeded lQ.ttO.lXti bushels for export. It Is expected to reach 1L500.0M to lCO), 000 bushels this year. Harvest Is now on and thousands of acres of Winter wheat In this and ad joining counties has been cut and Is In the shock or stack. This has not been injured in the least and' both quality and yield are better than last year, while the acreage of Winter Is also larger than one year ago. Red Russian, White Am ber and Bluestem are tho leading varie ties of wheat grown In this section this year, although there arc fully a dozen other varieties grown to a lesser extent. J. C Bains, living near Steptoe Butte, says: "I have 123 acres of White Amber wheat, now in the shock, which I will be gin threshing Monday, which will yield 59 bushels per acre, and I refused 63 cents per bushel for It today. I have 403 acres of wheat, most of It sown last Fall, which Is now In tee saock and will yield one of the best crops I ever raised. I have farmed 11 years in this county and never knew wheat to be In the shock at this time of year. The season Is nearly one month earlier than usual. which accounts for the grain being so far advanced that little damage has been done." M. A. Crumbakcr. manager of Crum- bakcr's private telephone line, which covers all of the rural districts, says: I have lived In this county nearly 30 years and conr!dcr this one of the best crops the county has produced In that time. hue there has been some damage to late-sown Spring grain, the acreage of this is small, and taking the Palouse country as a whole, I believe the Spring wheat will yield better than an avcrago crop, while the crop of all wheat Is un usually good. I have traveled cxtenrfvcly through the farming districts and find but little damage has been done and crop conditions are better than for many years." S. Privctt said: "I became alarmed over the reports of damage and drove to my farm near Fallons. I stopped at many fields along the road and examined the grain carefully and found almost no dam age at all. I consider the crop an un usually good one and the weather we are having now Is just the kind needed to ripen and harden the grain, but will do no damage." Bridge Over tho Clearwater. LEWISTON, Idaho. July SO. (Special.)

SEASIDE. Or.. July 30. (Special.) Sewerage and an occupation tax for the town of West Seaside were the chief subjects of discussion last night at a meet ing of the City Council. The thickly set tied condition of the beach west of Necanlcum River has made necessary a sewer nj-wtera, and In order to maintain the new city government, created by the Oregon Legislature last Winter, an oc cupation tax will be levied on hotels, candy and fruit and confectionery stands. shooting gallerys and the like. The wjwerage will coat between J30M and J0000 and the money to build It will be raised either by assessment or by sale of bonds, the Council has not decided which. The new drainage system will probably be finished for next year's beach season. To look Into the matter Mayor Dan J. Moore appointed a com mlttee of M. F. Henderson. A. G. Long and Paul vesslnger. The committee will make surveys and report on the most practical method of building the drain. One main sewer will probably be run parallel with the beach midway between the ocean and Necanlcum River, and householders will connect with it through lateral soil pipes. Ordinances will be passed for protection of the health and the morals of West Seaside and preventing livestock at large. Mayor Moore appointed as a committee to draw up a caste of proposed ordinances: P. L. Willis. Otto J. Kraemer and John F. Logan.. Last night's meeting was the first the Council has held.

The most' interesting device I have heard of in Irrigation work for the pump ing of water Is the solar-motor. One is now in successful operation In Wlllcox. in Southern Arlxoaa.

FaeL aatarally, Is saeat scarce where it to most seeded for pastptag! But sunshine is most abundant there. Not much is required to make a desert or to operate a solar-motor but perpetual sunshine. In "sun-kissed Arizona" they average 330 days of sunshine a year. To set the sunshine watering the desert is to hoist the desert with Its own petard. And the hotter the sunshine the faster It pumps. There Is a kind of poetic Justice In this that appeals to one's sense of fitness. I wish all these water-lifting appliances success the gasoline pump, the compressed-air pump, the centrifugal pump, the windmill, and whatever pumps there be besides may their tribe Increase. But If there be enough sunshine on every two square rods of desert to make an oasis of 10 acres, then success to the solar-motor. I know an old man in New England who worried over the problem what was the world to do for light in view of the an nual diminution of the whaling industry! But before the last whale had. been har pooned came coal oil., and he tsaid he would never worry again. Now. when the coal oil Is gone and the coal as. well, we must either utilize the tides or the direct energy of .the sun. How our de scendants will smile over our coal bills as they warm themselves with heat transmitted from tho tides of-the Bay of Fundy: how they will pity our Incapacity that we ever talked of Standard Oil as a monopoly when we might have Installed a solar-motor and storage plant and saved up .light on the Fourth of July to illuminate our Christmas trees!
