Sea calmed down considerably. United

stranded, la the southern extremity of
Valdes Island and la several miles from

cate that the Cottage City Is a total
loss.
The Cottage City, which left Seattle

that Captain Jansen could not see the

the whistle so that It was impossible
to pilot the stesmer by ear. The ves
sel waa entering Discovery Passago
when the tide carried her onto the Cape
Mudge reef. She filled rapidly and soon
began listing to starboard. Captain Jan
sen ordered all to take to the boats.
The women were landed at the light
house and the men. excepting a few of
the crew who stayed with the captain
to stand by the wreck, rowed four miles
to Campbell River, where all but the
one boatload arrived Jast night. Sal
vage tugs are on the ground to salve
the steamer which Ilea on the starboard

Klamath Falls Cheered by Encour
aging News From Washington.
Pending Projects Would Ir
rigate 100,000 Acres.
KLAMATH FALLSl Or., Jan. 27. (Spe
cial.) Good news for the future of the
Klamath country was contained In
Washington dispatches Wednesday say
ing that the 6enate had agreed to an
amendment to the Indian bill, appropriat
ing $30,000 to resume work on the Modoc
Point irrigation project on the Klamath
Indian Reservation.
Captain O. C. -Applegate, then Indian
Agent at the Klamath Agency, succeeded
In 1901 in getting the Government to In
augurate a plan to Irrigate 10,000 acres
lying from 7 to 14 miles south of the
Agency, on the borders of the Upper
Klamath Lake. During tnat year con
siderable work was done on the project,
but was finally dropped, as no appro
priations were made to continue It. The
work done consisted in the building of
a ditch three and a half miles long, the
clearing of a large amount of tae ditch
right-of-way, and some rock excavation
In the Sprague River Canyon, where the
water was to be taken frem the Sprague
River.
Railroad Aids Project.
The water for this project was to have
been taken from the Sprague River,
about two miles above its Junction with
v.a TvmiamuHi Plvf When the South
ern Pacific Railroad secured Us right-of-way
for its railroad now being built
through the Reservation to connect with
the main line at Natron, this right-of-
way conflicted wltn tne one lor mo
ditch and It is understood that an agree-
n. v.aha,! hAtween this com
pany and the Federal Government
whereby the railroad contractors wcio
to make the railroad grade for a dis
tance of three miles wide enough to ad
mit of the building of the Irrigation
canal along the railroad grade.
The land that is to come under this
project Is a very rich loam which has
been formed by the receding of the
waters of the Klamath Lake. It s
among the most favored lands on this
Reservation, being free from early and
late frosts.
Captain Applegate said today that na
had also worked on other reclamation
and irrigation schemes for the Indians
which, if carried out by the Government,
would make this ReservaUon one of the
richest In the United States. Among the
plans which he reported upon favorably
were the complete reclamation of the
Klamath marsh, containing nearly
C0 0U0 acres, by the dredging of a channel
to drain It and the use of this drain
water for irrigation of several hundred
acres lying below and between that and
the upper lake. Another channel was to
have been made around the head of tne
marsh to Imnnnnd much of the source

Indians to Be Self-Sustaining.
All these propects would place under
cultivation more than 100,000 acres of
fertile land belonging to the Indians
and would much more than make them
self-sustaining.
Congress estimates that the Modoo
Point project will cost approximately
$1S5,000, and aside from the $S0,000 to be
appropriated by the Government, the
rest of the money for building it is to
come from the sale of timber from the
Reservation.
This will mean much for the entire
Klamath country. In the first place, it
will mean the sale of in the neighbor
hood of $135,000 worth of timber. This
will mean the establishment . of saw
mills. In addition to the expenditure of
the money here for the building of the
Irrigation project the expenditures for
labor and other necessities will be the
means of bringing Into the Klamath
country of a large amount of additional
money, and this fact Is making the peo
ple of this city feel Jubilant. The Modoc
Irrigation project Is 15 miles north of
Klamath Falls. '

Official Whose Garage Is Dynamit
ed, Asserts Police of City Will
Not Give Him Aid.
OLTMPIA, Wash., Jan. 27. (Special.)
Declaring that the Seattle police will
not afford him protection and that
threats have been made against his
life. August J. Ghiglione, Italian con
sular agent at Seattle, has appealed to
Governor Hay to see that he is pro
tected. Some time ago the garsge
owned by the Italian government offi
cial was blown up by dynamite.
Dr. Ghiglione says he Is not asking
for protection for his person, but that
he wants his family and home watched
so that neither will be harmed, as
veiled threats have been made against
him Hardly had Dr. Ghiglione been
received than a letter arrived from
Washington, D. C, for the Governor,
in which Secretary of State Knox asks
that the Italian Consular Agent be
given protection. The chief executive
telegraphed the Mayor of Seattle about
better police protection, but has re
ceived no answer and will take up tho
matter again. In his letter Dr. Ghi
glione declares he has to hire a special
watchman and that while he does not
care for his person he says his home
and property should be protected.
"The police authorities have extended
to me no protection of any kind," he
writes. He adds that he has had the
question taken up with the Federal
authorities, but that he has received
no satisfaction and therefore makes
his appeal to the Governor.
