NORTH UNIT ADOPTS
IRRIGATION OISTRIGT
Deschutes Project Proposition
Is Carried by 65 Per
Cent Vote,
100,000 ACRES AFFECTED
.Srwial Railroad Rates Bring Oat
Large Crowds- Another Elec
tion Will Be Necessary
to Anthorize Bonds.
CTLVER, Or.. March 20. (Special.)
At the election In the north unit of
the Deschutes project today, the dis
trict proposition carried by a 65 per
cent vote.
All of the five precincts In the dis
trict grave a. majority vote in favor of
we district.
The railroads allowed reduced rates
to non-residents who came to vote, and
a large number took advantage of this,
A strenuous campaign closed Saturday
nignt. in which J. T. Ilinkle, of Her
miston. and J. W. Brewer, of Portland,
and local speakers participated on be
half of the lrrlgationists. These speak
ers were met by the opposition, " and
meeting's assumed the form of debate,
attracting large crowds. The director
ate of the new district cannot be de
termined from present returns.
Directors Are Elected.
H. "W. Gard, A. D. Anderson, John
Henderson. Fred Fisher and P. N. Vib
bert were elected directors of the dis
trict. The north unit project embraces
nearly 100.000 acres of irrigable land,
lying on the table lands along- the De
schutes River, from 15 to 25 miles
north of Madras, Or., and approxi
mately 100 miles south of the Columbia
River. The movement to Irrigate the
land has been under process of de
velopment for the last five years.
The Union Pacific system and the
Oregon trunk roads serve this terri
tory with branch roads. The land
formerly was apart of the Warm Springs
Indian reservation, and derives Its
name from that source.
Most of the property in the proposed
development project has been under
spasmodic or periodical cultivation for
many years. It is fertile in the ex
treme and is blessed with favorable
climatic conditions. Its only defect is
the absence of water.
Farmers Hani Water.
Through most of the year the district
Is so dry that farmers.must haul water
a distance of five to ten miles for do
mestic use. As a result the country
raises little livestock, which in turn is
responsible for the lack of natural fer
tilizer. The principal products are hay
and grain, but the grain is raised by
the antiquated Summer-fallow method,
and the average yield is less than 10
bushels an acre.
Yesterday's election was for the pur
pose of organizing a district for the
purpose of bonding the land, so that It
can be irrigated. After the district is
organized, another election will have
to be held to authorize the bonds. It
is estimated that the land can be wa
tered for less than $55 an acre. This
is the figure reached by the engineers
who surveyed it a few years ago, but
the Government engineers say that it
can be done even for less.
It is agreed among all who are fa
miliar with the land that irrigation
will enable the farmers to grow hay.
grain, alfalfa, potatoes and other veg
etables, as well as some varieties of
fruit, in profusion. The elevation Is
about 3000 feet.
The plan is to take the water out of
the Deschutes River at a point a short
distance south of Bend, and to convey
it through canals and flumes to the
area that It is proposed to irrigate.
it would ne conveyed across the
Crooked River at a high elevation.

Compromise on Submarine Base Xa
Uenled, and Congressmen Back
Committee From Astoria.
OREGOXIAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, March '20. - Representative
Hawley has received assurance that the
naval committee of the House of Rep
resentatives will give a hearing to the
Oregon delegation and others inter
ested on the Astoria naval . base bill
probably early next month. F. C. Har
ley, chairman of the Astoria naval base
committee, will reach Washington
about April 1 and expects to be heard
with the delegation.
The Astoria committee, . which is
flooding members of the Oregqn dele
gation with telegrams in support ol
the Hawley-Lane bill, has- opened an
attack on the Puget Sound Navy-yard,
and is insisting that no further money
be appropriated for that yard unless
the Astoria naval base is cared for in
the same appropriation bill.
Secretary iDaniels has refused abso
lutely to consider the establishment of
a full naval base on the Columbia
River, but the Astoria committee, both
by wire and by letters, is insisting
upon such a yard as the Hawley-Lane
bill authorizes. They have thus far re
fused flatly to consider a compromise
on a submarine base. The Oregon del
egation is standing back of the Astoria
committee.

HORSE, THIEF, AUTO SOUGHT
Property of Peter Williamson and E.

The mere fact that Sheriff Hurlburt's
men are seeking a horse thief in Port
land does not mean that " the , city is
harking back to frontier days. " The
animal was not cut out of a herd by
a hard-riding daredevil, but, .prosiacally
enough, was rented from the Columbia
Stables, 302 Front street, Saturday, and
has not been returned. He was a
pacer, and the property of Peter Will

Search is being made also for the
person who stole - the automobile of

The possession of $45 worth of 5 and
10-cent postage stamps, which he could
not explain satisfactorily, added to his
apparent vagrancy, earned a 30-day
Jail sentence for Edward Dawson, when
he appeared in Municipal Court yes
terday. The prisoner said that the postage
stamps had been given him in payment
for a labor debt, but the vagueness of
his assertion was not convincing.
He was arrested several days ago by
Detective Goltz and Howell.
Second Store Fire Mysterious.
TOLEDO. Or.. March 20. (Special.)
George Wilson's general store at Nor

County, was destroyed by fire Satur

Ttepublicans Attack Measure as Un
fair to Private Plants and as
Likely to Cripple Industry
When Navy Needs It.
WASHINGTON. March 20. Debate
in the Senate on the Tillman bill for
a $11,000,000 Government armorplate
factory neared a close tonight .with
Republicans assailing the project as a
menace to the Nation's safety and
Democrats defending it as a precau
tionary step worth all It would cost,
even though tho plant never was operated.
The discussion will continue tomor
row under an agreement to begin vot
ing on amendments at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. The Democratic leaders
are confident the bill will pass by a
large majority, substantially as re
ported by the naval committee.
Senators Lodge and Lippitt opened
the attack today, declaring the bill
would force private armorplate manu
facturers out of business and inevit
ably delay the naval construction.
Senator Lodge said the Government
could not produce armorplate at the
price its experts had estimated and
that it would be almost criminal for
the Nation to cripple Its armorplate
capacity when a five-year" Navy pro
gramme was just being undertaken.
Senator Pittman said that the Gov
ernment had no thought of driving pri
vate manufacturers out of business,
and insisted that if war should come
the Government would need an armor
plate plant of Its own to supplement
the capacity of private concerns.
Senator Hitchcock said Government
manufacture of armorplate would tend
to remove a suspicion that National
disputes were aggravated into wars by
manufacturers who would profit by the
sale of war materials.
Senators Penrose and Oliver plan to
close the debate for the opposition- to
morrow. Senators Tillman and Swan
son will speak for the bill.

pirants. 4 Appearance of a well-defined re
port that Philander C. Knox appears
to be a favorite in the formal discus
sion of candidates for "keynoter."
Members from the East took a firm
stand in their demand that the tem
porary chairman should be a solid, sub
stantial business man. whose conser
vation will reassure the business in
terests of the country. These mem
bers from the Far West urged that a
Western man be chosen, preferably a
man of progressive tendencies, to fore
stall any criticism by the Bull Moosers.
Chief among the committeemen taking
this attitude was Ralph Williams, of
Oregon, who said:
"We ought to-do the thing that will
reunite the Republicans and Progres
sives. Out West the Progressives are
all back in the old party, and I do not
want to see this convention do any
thing that will again divide It. I would
not care If the' Progressives run the
convention.
Easterners raised their eyebrows at
this radical talk. Ex-Governor Murphy
said that any man of proved standing
and ability will be satisfactory.

Gratified at the plan of students at the

COMMITTEE FOR HUGHES
'Continued From Firt Pas. )
Meeting: Is Set for Tonight at Chamber,
and Organizers Hope to Recruit
One Hundred Men.
Twenty attorneys of Portland as
sembled on board the cruiser Boston
last night, signed an t agreement to
serve for a year in a military organi
zation and to drill faithfully for the
purpose of acting for the defense of
the country in case need should arise.
This meeting was the actual begin
ning of the work initiated a week or
more ago by R R. Duniway and other
attorneys of the city to arouse the in
terest of the public In preparedness and
Individual service for the formation of
a trained defensive body of men In the
state.
The organization will meet again to
morrow night at the Chamber of Com
merce, and it is hoped at that time that
the body can be recruited up to at
least 100, -who will pledge themselves
to drill steadily for a year.
This company is to serve as the
nucleus for other companies. It is ex
pected that professional and business
men in ail lines will become interested
and agree to take active part in the
movement by forming military units.
The aim of the movement is to have
eventually 10,000 men drilled so that
they would be prepared for effective
service in case of invasion of the United
States. One night a week will be
given to drill.
Captain Blair, of the Naval Militia,
and Lieutenant Blackburn, of the Navy,
had charge of the drill last night.

of fighting it out now."
You have .been quoted as saying you
are for Roosevelt." a reporter said to
Committeeman Williams.
"I said that if Roosevelt were nomi
nated I would support him. I do not
think he will be the nominee. In Ore
gon the people think Hughes is the
man to bring the party elements to
gether."
'But Justice Hughes says he is not
a candidate."
"Yes, but he has never said he would
not accept if the convention nominates
him. If he would not accept, we be
lieve he would have said so before
this."
The Hughes sentiment appeared to
be growing today, although several of
the committeemen are strong for Elihu
Root. Definite announcement was
made by Chairman Hilles today that
Senator Root would not attend the con
vention this year. This eliminates him
as temporary chairman.
Chief developments of the day may
be summarized as follows:
'1 A prevailing opinion among the
committeemen that Justice Charles
Evans Hughes has the "call" on the
White House nomination and that Jus
tice Hughes' repeated declarations that
he Is not a candidate does not signify
that he would decline a nomination if
the convention stampeded to him.

RIVAL CLAIMS OF 5 NAVY-YARDS
PRESENTED TO HOUSE TODAY.
Senator Poindeiter and Representative
HnmpkKT Sr Iuset Sound Could
Be Developed at Small Cost.
WASHINGTON. March 20. The rival
claims of five Navy-yards to prefer
ment in appropriations for enlargement
and equipment to be made In connec
tion with the National defense pro
gramme were argued today before the
House NavaL, committee.
Senator Poindexter and Representa
tive Humphrey, of Washington, ap
peared in favor of the bill passed by
the Senate Friday to make $2,065,000
available for improvement of the Brem
erton yard at Puget Sound, attacked
the statement of Rear-Admiral Ben
son, chief of operations, before the
committee last week, that the capital
plant on the Pacific should be at San
Francisco. Arguments for development
of the yards at Norfolk, Charleston
and Philadelphia, respectively, were
made by Representative Holland, of
Virginia; Whaley of South Carolina and
Vare of Pennsylvania.
Proponents of the Bremerton plant
said that as more than $11,000,000 al
ready had been spent there the yard
could be put into capital condition for
a sum which would be nominal com
pared to the cost of the improvements
Admiral Benson proposed for San Fran
cisco. Representative Holland declared
Norfolk occupied easily the best strate
gic position on the Atlantic and in
time of war would be the only refuge
in which warships could be repaired
out of range of enemy guns.
An armor plant for the Philadelphia
yard was urged by Representative
Vare, who pointed out that both metal
and fuel would be easily accessible.
Representative Whaley said Charleston
was the best site for a South Atlantic
drydock, because of the anticipation
of naval officers that the Nation's next
important naval battle will be fought
In the Caribbean. -
Hearings on the subject will continue
tomorrow.
BACTERIA FRAUD ALLEGED
Farmers of Lane County Victimized,
Says Connty Agriculturist.
EUGENE. Or., March 20. (Special.)
Two men selling bacteria for the in
oculation of clover seed are victimizing
farmers in the State of Oregon, accord
ing to J. M. Alcorn, Lane County agri
culturist. He states that these men
operated In Lane County last week
selling bacteria at a rate amounting
to $20 an acre.
"These men are holding up the farm
ers," he said. "The bacteria which , they
are purchasing can be obtained from
the Oregon Agricultural College in an
amount sufficient to inoculate 13 acres
for 60 cents."
In carrying on their traffic he said
the peddlers are overstating the neces
sity for inoculating, as the bacteria is
sufficiently prevalent in most Lane
County soil to eliminate the necessity
for inoculation.

AMONG purchasers of highest grade motor cars "today there isa

The White Company anticipated this tendency a year ago, by having its
bodies designed by a noted custom body maker and by standardizing in its
regular models all the refined characteristics of the made-to-order product.
A staff of experienced custom makers embody in White Cars the same
grace of line, individual appointments, imported materials, and that nicety
