MILLION ACRES HELPED IlrnrU-Ur jti BUT Kxrmae; ! to Play Important Part In Irrljra Uon Plan or Pacific Pofr A I.lpht Companf. Kracmrrarrmfr t and M In th irriga tion of approximately 1.VW acres of land In th Columbia River hasln on hoth W- of tho rlvr-r between The Ialle. Oregon, and ITlost Rapid;. In Washington, are to be important fea tures of trx operations of the Pacific rower & IJcht cnnipany. director arid of.'irr of which have Ju eompleted a lour of that district accompanied by Iromlncnt Kastrrn bankers and finan cier. Z. Mtf.-h.-U. precedent of tre, Electric ltv,t & Shrir Company of New York Ctiv. and chairman of the board of di rector of tt-e IW-iflc Tower & lJRht Company, talked enthusiastically of the p"!! bill tie". f-r d-velopment of th arid se.tle.rs of Oregon and Washington by tiie Installation of water pumping plants operated bv electric power. "We shall do all -we run to encourage the Installation of pumping plants throughout the territory served by oar tmr.srrlsrion lines." eJJ Mr. Mitchell yesterday. "Irrigation by means of punpr plsnts which lift the water from we'.ls Is new In th Northwest, but I v.nttire to st that In tho past year for very new acre of land that has been reclaimed In California by the ditch method, ten new acres have been watered by pumping plants. Money Saved by Kloctrirlty. "In our vi.'lt In the Yakima Valley w saw. for example, a ditch construct ed at great expnse for a distance of 20 miles wlnriinc Its way among the rocks nd hills before delivering the water to tillable land. Hy means of pumping plants operated br electric power the water can he lifted from wells or from the Columbia River at a fraction of the Initial expenditure on such a ditch and the maintenance charges and cost of lectrle current would be far less than the Interest on the Investment In and o.t of maintaining the ditch. "If a man has a well on his land. )500 will Install a pumping plant adequate to water BO or SO acres. The Columbia River and Its tributaries, such as the t-'nake and Yakima, offer a never-falling supply of water that may be pumped to an acreage of -vast extent. We have purchased the power plant at The Ialles and will devote our energies to induce the reclaiming? of lands In the Columbia Ktver basin by this means from The Dalles to Priest Rapids. I liave never attempter to make an accu rate estimate of the acreage In that portion of the Columbia Kiver basin that can thus be watered. I should say that the area. Including that In the valleys of the Snake. Yakima and other tributaries, now capable only of grow Inir Jackrabbtts and horned toads, is lose to 1.000.000 acres. No richer soil Is to be found anywhere. The climatic conditions are right and all the land needs Is water to make It produce won derful crops. Power Lights Farmers 1 Ionics. "Similar laxd now under irrigation In Vie Yakima Valley Is selling for Suu) per acre. 9ome of this land Is producing J :') a year tn gross revenue and I know of other lands there that are yielding $." per acre net revenue. On some of these lands are to be found farmers' homes of tiie tvpe of the residences on Portland Height, lighted by electricity nd having every convenience that the latter have. "Not only will electric power be used tor drivini; tiie pumping plants but It will be devoted to driving dairy ma chinery, alfalfa grinders. In cooking and In operating home refrigerator plants. The warmth for egg Incubators Is even !jiow supplied by electricity. "The Northwest is now attraoting more attention from Kustern Investors than sny other section and the interest is particularly strong in Oregon because of tiie railroud development that is under way. I believe that during the next five . years Oregon w ill have a greater new srrow-th and advancement than any other ,eta:e In the Union. Mr. Steele and Mr. . Baker, the New York bankers who ac companied James J. Hill to Oregon last pMay after looking over the country went 'home delighted with Its prospects. In ririv opinion no bettor opportunities are t offered to men for making new homes ir.d laying up a cornpetcm-e than In the i semi-arid sections of Oregon nnd W'ash Mnston "that are coming under Irrigation." Mr. Mitchell also said that the trans ; mist-Ion line, now being constructed to . connect the Walla Walia and Yakima I tyntems. would bo completed in about 90 'lays. The company has under considera tion the building of a transmission line f- In connect the s'akima system with that i-ot the Washington Water Power Com . pany at Spokane with the view of obtain : lng lighting current at times when the ; power of Irs own system Is devoted to : pumping. Kniargements of the water-power plants at Walla Walla and on the Naches are unfler way and options have been taken on a number of other power sites which will be developed as fast as hey are needed.

A man. two women, two babies and a parrot In Its care were the load writn which prlver amber backed the patrol wagon up to the curb at police head quarters yesterday morning. Those present were L J. Fernan. a teamster, and his wife, their two children. Miss Mabel LeMaaon and Polly, a protege of Miss LMason's. The last named Is the defendant in a charge of assault and battery brought by Fernan. while Fer nan himself Is accused by his own wife of threatening to kill her friend. Miss LeMason. "How old are you?" asked Sergeant Riley, when he booked the woman. "Twenty-one." she replied. "What!" cried Klley. Well might he exclaim, for the face and figure were those of an ancient woman and the voice was high and quavering. The woman adhered to her statement, how ever, and was supported by her friend, Mrs, Fernan. who declared that the woman was a victim of the San Fran cisco earthquake, having suffered an injury to the spine, which caused her aged appearance. The troubles of the Fernans came to the notice of the police Tuesday night, when Patrolman Trout reported that he had been called to quell a family riot on Ollsan street, near Eleventh. Trout learned that Fernan had been away for some weeks and had returned to find Miss LeMason established with his wife in their home. He objected and was locked out by the women. Fernan appealed to the police, was as sured that he had a right to break Into his own home, and did do. where upon be says he was attacked by Misa LeMason. and he retaliated in kind. A tack-hammer was used In settling the dispute. Trout left peace behind him. but the trouble broke out again at the station yesterday morning and the counter-charges were filed. The case will be tried this morning. ONLY TWO WEEKS REMAIN Registration Books Will Close at 3 P. 31. Wednesday, September 1 1. No voters may register for the primary election after 6 P. M.

FIRMS DONATE SUPPLIES It In Expected That SS000 Will Be liaised Among People of Port land for Sufferers Prom Fires in Oie Taclflc Northwest. CHILDREN NEKD CLOTHING. Fully 200 children of the families made destitute by th forest fires are in need of wearing apparel. The weather has turned chilly and chil dren tm reported to be suffering from the lack of proper clothing. The people of Portland are re quested to send their contributions this morning to the People's Insti tute, Fourth and Burnslde streets. Miss Valentine Prlehard. of the Peo ple's Instltote, urges that actkin be taken Immediately, as relief must be given the children without daisy. To relieve the condition of the fire sufferers In Oregon and Washington, especially In the district north and east of Vancouver, the Portland Chamber of Commerce has started a relief fund and hopes to raise $50H0 among the people of Portland. As the organization for the campaign has not been fully effect ed, no contributions were handed In yesterday. F. C. Knapp. president of the Chamber, said last night that com mittees would be appointed this morn ing and that a canvass of the business districts would be started at once. That the stricken families are In dire traits was communicated to the Cham ber of Commerce yesterday. Fully 60 families In the Yacolt district are pen niless and without homes or shelter. Of the 240 children of these families, only about 40 have so far been provided for. Through the efforts of the People's In stitute supplies of food, clothing and cooking utensils have been hurried to the families in want, but many of the sufferers have not as yet been reached. Clothing for at least 200 children Is urgently needed. Victims Deserve Help. "If the people of Portland stop to realize the situation of the tire suffer ers. I think that we will be able to raise all the money necessary In One day. said Mr. Knapp last night. Mr. Knapp said that he had received reports from Idaho towns that hun dreds of families are In great distress, and he believed that some help should be given the stricken people of that state. Relief funds will be distrib uted among the destitute families In the vicinity of Portland first, and if an appeal Is made to the people of Port land to render aid to the Idaho suffer ers, Mr. Knapp hoped that some action would also be taken In their behalf. Up to last night Mr. Knapp had re ceived no call for aid from the resi dents of the Crater Lake district. Miss Valentine Prlchard. of the Peo ple's Institute, said last night that the grocers of the city had responded gen erously to the appeal for aid to the fire sufferers. Many Women Assist. Among those who have taken an ac tive part In gathering: supplies for the destitute families are Mrs. Walter Mc Kay. Mrs. A. E. Rockev. Mrs. W". Wood ruff and Misses Gladys andtlazel Weld ler. These women have devoted con siderable time and the use of automo biles to the relief work. Mrs. Harry Corbett donated 1100 worth of woolen blankets. Many business concerns of the city gave supplies, as follows: Kerr Bros., groceries: Acme Mills, flour; Albers Bros., flour and cereal products; Port land Flouring Mills, flour and cereal products; Herman-American Coffee Company, tea and coffee: Qunther & Hlckey. groceries; Wadhams &. Kerr, grocer ios; Bulllvant & Co., groceries; Allen & Lewis, groceries; Lana; &. Co.. groceries. Julius Meier, of Meier St Frank Com pany, donated the use of delivery wag ons to carry the provisions to points of shipment. The Scott Transportation Company has offered free transporta tion to the People's Institute In carry ing provisions and relief parties to Vancouver. HOMESTEADERS GET TIMBER Those Living on Public Land Can Sell Burned Trees. By recent Instructions Issued by the Commissioner of the General Land Of fice to Louis L. Sharp, Chief of the First Field Division, the homesteaders upon public lands within the burned areas of Oregon. Washington, and Northern Ida ho, who are occupying land in good faith, will be permitted to cut. remove and sell the timber on the claims which has been killed by the forest fires. The Commissioner concurs In the opin ion of the chief of the field division that It will be to the best interests of the pub lic and the settlers In the localities af fected. If the cutting and removal of the timber killed by the fires would be permitted, and directs that Investigation be made of each application for per mits. The only restriction Is that good faith must be apparent and no attempt under color of title to denude the land of the timber for sale and speculation, and then abandon 1L Application for permit should be made For Dyspepsia You Risk Nothing by Trying This Remedy.

Reports from all part of the state re ceived by C. fi. Chapman, district for ester, are to th effect that forest fires are well under control. Federal troops will probably be kept on th Crater Re serv until a heavy rain falls and quenches th fires. The National Guard has been withdrawn from the Bull Run basin, leaving the situation In charge of the forestry service and citizens. Th report that th soldiers, who have been righting the fire will not be reim bursed for loss of clothing, has caused considerable comment and a movement may be started to raise funds to make good these losses. FIRE-FIGHTERS RECEIVE AID Member" of Forest service Conlrib- tite Funds to Care for Them. WASHINGTON. Aug. SI. Brave flre-fls-htera who risked death and suf fered Injuries In protecting life and property In the Northwest, and whose small wages from the fight stopped when they became Incapacitated In line of duty, will receive funds for their immediate needs through the sympathy of employes in tho Forest Service her, who, from directors to messengers, almost to a man. con tributed to give temporary relief at least. District Forester J. B. Greeley, at Missoula, Mont., replying to a mes sage, said: "Can us 150 In relief of injured rangers and temporary employes and In sending bodies of men killed to relatives." Between $150 and I00 was tele graphed to Mr. Greeley today. In response to a request for Gov ernment assistance the War Depart ment today ordered one troop of cavalry from American Lake. Wash.. to fight forest fires In the Yaqulna Indian Reservation in Oregon. CRATER LAKE IS THREATENED Fire on Vnlon Creek Menaces Por tion of National Park. MEDFORD. Or.. Aug. 31.

District Forester Cecil arrived In Mod ford today on hla way to the Butte Falls, Washington Fires Are Out. SEATTLE. Wash.. Aug. 31. All the for. est fires In Washington have been extin guished or are under control. Copious rains have been falling throughout the western slope of the Cascade Mountains, where the most serious Area have been raging. The situation in the Snoqualmie re serve, where the worst fire has been burning. Is so greatly . Improved that emergency fighters have been called In. Sawmills Are Destroyed. VALE, Or., Aug. 31. (Special.) The stage brought In the news today that fires have started in the timber around Burns. The Bunyard sawmill, between Burns and Harney, Is reported to have burned. The mill owned by Horton & Sayer. recently built, was also destroyed. It Is believed the Horton mill was burned by incendiaries. California Fire Beyond Control.

' WOO BRIDGE BONDS ARE SOLD First Block Is Acquired by Ladd & Tilton for Client in East, at 93.08. OPPOSITION IS IGNORED Executive Board of Council Will Soon Instruct Consulting Engi neer to Proceed With Work, on Broadway Structure. Th City Council yesterday morning sold to Ladd & Tilton -for an Eastern client, the first block of $2R0.000 30 year. 4 per cent Broadway bridge bonds at $93.08, and Mayor Blmon and the members of the Executive Board will proceed at Once to arrange for actual construction of a pier In the Willamette River for the span. Tl. R. Dunlway. attorney for those op posing the bridge, had addressed to each member of the Council a letter, warning them against selling the bonds at less than par and accrued Interest, saying the charter does not warrant such action. It was given slight at tention, as the Council proceeded with out delay to dispose of the first block to Ladd & Tilton. Bridge Project Scores Victory. It Is conceded all over the city that Broadway bridge has scored a great victory through tho sale of the bonds, and there is great rejoicing among those favoring the conntructlon of the span. It is likely that the Council will soon advertise for bids on another block of the bonds, as it Is desired to keep the work going rapidly. It la also antlplpated that the new block will bring much better rates, perhaps a premium, as the market is rapidly recovering from the Summer slump. The Executive Board will soon in struct Consulting Engineer Modjeskl to proceed with the plans for the span, and bids for the work of constructing it will probably be called for before long. The city will pay Albers Broth ers Milling Company $77,000 damages for right of way for the west approach. Petitions Are Referred. The Council referred to the judiciary committee the petitions of St. Johns, Lents and a portion of territory west of Fulton Park, for consldoratlon and report. There is slight doubt as to whether the petitions have sufficient signatures of registered voters to en title them to a place on the ballot of each respective community, so that the residents of these places may vote on the annexation question. If they have not enough signatures, there is ample time to secure enough, and each of the places will very likely have the priv ilege they seek of deciding the subject for themselves. City Enginer Morris submitted hia es timate on the proposed high bridge across tho Willamette River from Di vision to Sherman street, placing the cost at $1,960,000. Thia bridge is to be paid for by a bond issue, if it carries. The people of the southern districts on both sides of the river are favoring It and will make It an Issue in the June election.
