TIETON WORK TO RUSH Sexrretery Says Government Wants to Help Private Reclamation En terprises Xot Conflicting With Those of Service. SEATTLE. Wash.. Aug. 4. Secretary Ballinger, who has Just returned from a conference in Portland with officers of the Federal Reclamation Service, said today: "The Reclamation Service will not play dog In the manger toward the private Irrigation corporations that are watering the arid and semi-arid plans and valleys of this and other Western States. Instead, the Government will give all possible encouragement to pri vate enterprises where they do not con flict with established or projected Fed eral reclamation projects. There should be no issue between private capital and the Government, and land should not be withheld from entry beyond a reason able period of time, where its develop ment Is within the range of private capital. Work on Tieton Project. "Regarding the Tieton project, the most Important interest in this state, we plan to advance ... e work in the Taklma Valley as rapidly as possible so as to furnish water on some of the lands under- the Tieton unit and bring in. as soon as possible, a return la money for the water furnished the set tlers there." The 'lieton project was practically determined on In June, 1903. and in the succeeding four years the Reclamation Service has completed the project a tri fle over 5S per cent. The delay in get ting water on the Tieton lands is a matter that caused much comment in Eastern Washington, and Secretary Ballinger, when asked whether or not he was in .a position to explain the de lay, said that his present task is per sonally to examine into the various projects, thoroughly to investigate the - workings of the Reclamation Service and to formulate a report thereon which will be made to President Taft direct. Mr. Balllnger continued: True to Roosevelt Policies. "I observe that I have been ripped up the bark in some Instances for what some folks have said to have been, on my part, a falling away from the Roosevelt policies. This had reference to the Federal control of sites for water power enterprises and facilities in the West. "You can say that we now have more land withdrawn from entry because of power sites than ever before in the his tory of the country. What I am tryin, to do is to cement the Roosevelt poll cles as to water-power resources and to bring them into a state of homogeneous efficiency. NEW BANK FOR.

Figure- on Pay - Streak. SEATTLE. Wash., Aug. 4. (Special.) Mrs. M. G. Woodcock, of Portland, has become known to Seattle fame as the Apostle of Cheerfulness. She Is a famil iar figure at the exposition grounds. where she appears dally, spreading good cheer and beaming upon acquaintances and strangers alike. She Is most fre' quently seen' on the Pay Streak, and on several occasions has been spurred by banter to participate In the ballyhoo stunts by spielers and performers in front of some of the shows. She is a frequent visitor at the Streets of Cairo and the Igorrote village, and has twice accepted Invitations to relieve the spielers in front of other attractions, where she asserts she has succeeded in drawing a big crowd. Her usual stunt on these occa slons is to execute an improvised dance and frantically to wave an American flag while going through her gyrations. No Graft? Seattle Puzzled. 'What's her graft?" has been an in quiry frequently heard by those who have witnessed her actions. So far as can be learned she has none, and con aiders herself called to spread the gospel of good cheer and Republicanism. Of late there have been evidences of an eruption. She has sought an opportunity to deliver a carefully prepared speech and it has thus far been denied her. She has hinted and even requested, but the opportunity to -deliver that speech has not been forthcoming. It Is her most recently expressed purpose to make an address on the occasion- of President Taft's visit, September 29. Her plans for the interim have not been announced. Efforts to rebuff her have been utterly unavailing because of the complacency and cheerfulness with which she accepts every turn-down. She especially relishes newspaper mention. Her chief claim to newspaper distinction here is based on her- Interview, which began: Preaches Sunshine Gospel. 'We are gathered here like little blades of grass, nodding in the sun all friendly together. We are having Buca a good time. Hundreds of us are here, meeting each other and all are cheerful." She has been decorated with badges from practically every exhibit on the Ex position grounds, but her 600,000 Club Port land badge Is most conspicuous. "We are going to have that population. too, before long," she explained. 'That's the reason I'm a Republican. Oh, yes, I'm a Republican, ' even if I can't vote. I'm an honorary member of the National Republican Committee from Oregon. Tou see. the Republicans bring us prosperity; that's what makes property values go up and brings the people out here. That's what made the exposition possible; that's what will make Seattle and Portland grow. Boosting for Portland. Tm here to boost Portland, and I don't think the exposition management has treated me right. They have refused me a pass every time I ve requested it. but I hope to demonstrate yet that I'm entitled to it "I'm not working any graft. I have property at Portland worth $10,000, and 'the Income keeps me. My husband works In the steel mill. He likes me to take the stump for the Republicans, because it brings good times. I pay all my own expenses." TIMBER TO BE HIT HARD thehalis County Assessments May Be Raised C5 to 50, Per Cent. ABERDEEN, Wash., Aug. 4. (Special.)
