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land withdrawn from entry because of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.

Preaches Republicanism and Cheer
fulness and Is Lively Booster for
-Portland's 500,000 In 1912.
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."
