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.

HOUSE IS FULL OF TROUBLE
Whole Fcrnan Family and Parrot
Taken to Police Court.
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.

Children of Stricken Families
Are in Dire Need of
Warm Clothing.
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.

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

considerable comment and a movement
may be started to raise funds to make
good these losses.

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.

more and nothing less. We do not make a cent on this coal at this
price, and are simply doing it to advertise the Pacific Coal & Gas
Company's best grade lump coal. We will not receive any orders,
unless accompanied by the cash or check, for the reason that we can
not sell this coal at this price and haul it out to your address and
failing to find anyone at home haul it back again. Therefore we
must have the cash with the order.
We want 450 customers in this city, and we know that when you
have once used our coal you will continue to do so. Do not be disap
pointed if you do not get some of this coal, for the first come will be
the first served.
We will not reserve any of this coal for anyone excepting such or
ders as are accompanied by the cash or a check.
