FEDERAL OFFICIALS
SEE BAKER PROJECT
Lower Powder River District
Impresses Visitors.
SUCCESS IS PREDICTED
Reclamation Director and Engi
neers Inspect Proposed Dam
Site and Review Details.
BAKER. Or.. July 8. (Special.)
Baker county irrigation enthusiasts
are confident that the booster trip
to the lower Powder river project
last week was one of the most lmpor
tant steps in getting recognition from
the United States reclamation serv
ice. In the party were A. P. Davis,
director, and F. E. Weymouth, chief
engineer of tne federal reclamation
Service, and C. C. Fisher, government
engineer, recently assigned to the
Deschutes project at Bend. These
men viewed the acreage included in
the Powder River Land & Irrigation
company and their Impressions were
favorable, it was said.
The visiting reclamation men were
then taken in automobiles In com
pany with about 20 Baker enthusi
asts, to the project, via Wingville,
Kock creek. Muddy creek, North
Powder, thence to Telocaset and to
Thief valley, the site of the proposed
dam. The Journey continued to Med
ical springs, where a chicken dinner
was served the party by Mrs. P. J.
Powers. The party then went to the
Balm creek reservoir, already in
operation, and which furnishes water
to several thousand acres, thence to
the West Eagle unit and to East
Eagle. Camp was pitched there for
the night. A trout dinner was served.
District la Surveyed.
The next day the party proceeded
to the Sparta section and to the val
ley of Lower Powder river, the site
of the proposed irrigation project. A
careful survey was made of this sec
tion and the visitors were shown in
detail the many features of the
project.
That members of the reclamation
service who have had anything to do
with the investigation of the Thief
valley project have been greatly im
pressed with the frankness and open
ness with which all information
regarding the project has been pre
sented was the verdict of Director
Davis in addressing a dinner party
in Baker. The' project has at all
times been presented on its real
physical merits, both by the people
of this vicinity and by Mr. Almirall,
the original promoter, and nothing
unreasonable has been sought at any
time, said Mr. Davis. He expressed
the view that a feasible project can
be worked out. He said he was sur
prised by the development of the dis
trict generally. It was his opinion,
he asserted, that a great future
awaits this section of the state,
linker Behind Project.
Chief Engineer Weymouth ex
pressed his appreciation of the enter
tainment prepared by the committee,
adding that he always had been
favorably impressed with the project
and that the quality of the land com
pares favorably with that under any
project carried out by the service.
"The people of this vicinity are
heart and soul behind the movement
for recognition of the Thief valley
project," said John L. Hand, chair
man of the irrigation committee, in
expressing the appreciation of the
committee for the visit of the recla
mation heads to this city. "We have
watched the development of the land
from sagebrush flats to farms which
raise crops comparable with those of
any section, but in order for this
work to proceed irrigation is neces
sary." EXIranted Tout JU.401.12S.
The dam site at Thief valley would
be 152 feet high above bedrock, with
a capacity of 140,000 acre feet, the
cost of which would be $1,191,297,
according to estimates furnished in
the report of C. C. Fisher and A. J.
Wiley, engineers of the United States
reclamation service, about a year ago.
The total cost of the project is esti
mated at $4,401,128 or 39,424 acres
at $111.64 an acre. .
A large part of the acreage under
the project i government owned or
undeeded and this fact alone has been
considered favorable in getting rec
ognition of the federal service.
Those in the party accompanying
the visitors over the project were:
J. P. Lottridge. president of the
chamber of commerce; Walter Meach
am. secretary: J. L. Hand, A. S.
Shockley. D. M. French, Floyd C.
Vauehn. T. Q. Montgomery. Vice
president of the chamber; F. A. Phil
lips, W. A. Steward, J. Schmita,
members of the irrigation commit
tee, and H. E. Hendryz, 1. B. Bowen
Sr. and Irving Rand. .

AMERICA TO SEEK RIGHTS
SHIP BOARD OFFICIAL AFTER
EGYPTIAN CARGOES.
British Will Be Asked to Insure
Fair Treatment for Vessels
From Cnlted States.
WASHINGTON. D. C. July SL
Shipping board representatives will
confer with British ship-owners in
London Tuesday in an effort to obtain
fair treatment for American mer
chant vessels in the award of trade
privileges in foreign ports. The board
announced today that Captain Ferris,
district manager at London, had been
instructed to make representations
particularly against alleged discrim
ination in the awarding of contracts
for carrying Egyptian cotton to
British and American ports. i
It was considered probable, how
ever, that the conference would have
a still broader aspect, and that the
board would insist that its vessels
have equal footing with British ships
in the awarding of contracts for the
transport of all classes of freight
The board was understood to have
complained to British shipping lines
that Amercan vessels had been de
nied cargoes of Egyptian cotton, al
though in many instances their bids
were lower than those of British
ships which got the contracts. Cap
tain Ferris was understood to have
instructions not only to protest
against such discrimination, but to
insist that half of both the direct and
indirect cotton shipments be carried
in American bottoms.
HUGHES Hi GEOBES TALK
NOVEMBER 11 MAY BE DATE
OF ARMS CONFERENCE.
Insistence on Preliminary Meet
ing Believed to Have Been
Dropped by England.
WASHINGTON. D. C, July 31.
Secretary Hughes and Sir Auckland
Geddes. British ambassador, spent
more than an hour in conference to
day discussing, it was understood,
details to be arranged prior to the de
livery of formal invitations to the
proposed conference on the limitation
of armaments, and the far east.
It was said that the British govern
ment probably would not insist fur
ther on a preliminary conference, ana
would not interpose any serious ob
jections to having the conference con
vened early in November. It also de
veloped that France is- not adverse to
November 11, Armistice day, for the
first meeting, and that unofficially
Italy, Japan and Chinahave indicated
their willingness to accept that dte.
Satisfaction with developments was
expressed by officials and there were
indications that the Invitations would
be sent out next week. The unoffi
cial, but none the less authoritative,
declaration that the United States was
opposed to preliminary conferences
and especially to parleys participated
in by any number less than all the
Invited powers, was believed to have
forestalled further efforts in that di
rection.

GOAL STRIKE NEU5IS
OPERATORS KEEP EYES OA
MIXERS' CONVENTION.
Plans for Reopening Properties
Held In Abeyance Until After
Today's Meeting.
SEATTLE,
cial.) With
Wash., July 31. (Spe
a. sDeclal state district
convention of the United Mine Work
ers scheduled to open In the Seattle
labor temple tomorrow morning and
with mine operators holding plans
for reopening their mines in abey
ance pending the miners' meeting,
there were strong Indications today
that a crisis in the long drawn out
strike In the open market coal mines
of the state would be reached this
week.
The miners convention' has been
called to consider the grave situa
tion brought about by the failure of
peace negotiations that were under
taken by Edward Clifford, state di
rector of labor and industry, when he
appointed a committee headed by
Jam H. Allport of Barnesboro,
Pa., a noted mining engineer, to
make a survey of the coal industry of
the state and to recommend a plan
for settling the strike and reopening
the mines. .
The remaining hope for an amica
ble settlement of the strike apparent
ly is that the convention will author
ize the state district officers of the
United Mine workers to seek to re
open peace negotiations with the mine
operators direct on a basis that the
latter will accept. Otherwise a per
mament break between the operators
and the union that will precipitate a
bitter open shop fight seems immi
nent. Most of the 24 mines closed by the
strike have been operated under union
agreements for the last 15 years and
at the time of the strike the state
district was 100 per cent unionized.
The 24 mines closed have produced
in the past about 90 per cent of all
coal mined for the open market in
this state. The strike has been on
more than four months, having be
gun March 15, when the mineworkers
refused to agree to the restoration of
the wage scale that was In effect dur
ing the war and up to November 1.
1919, that scale averaging about 24
per cent lower than the 1920 scale
under which the men were working
up to the date of the strike. Aboul
2800 men are Involved.

TAX REFUND IS ORDERED
$17,000 in Marlon to Be Distrib

SALEM, Or., July 30. (Special.)
District Attorney Carson today pre
sented an order to the Marion county
court asking for a refund of ap
proximately $17,000 to the taxpayers
of this county. The order was later
turned over t-o Oscar Bower, sheriff,
who is formulating plans for re
turning the money. The refund will
affect 13,000 taxpayers of the county.
It was said today that collection
of the surplus payments was due to
copying the figures incorrectly, and
not to the substitution of four-tenths
of a mill for one-tenth of a mill.
Refunding of the money probably
will necessitate considerable work,
the sheriff said, and may cost the
county several hundred dollars.

Facts Which
Every Housewife
Shoiild Weigh
SOME startling facts would be revealed if the woman who
does her own washing, or employs a laundress, were to get
right down and figure costs. It would quickly prove to her
that it was costing much more than she had ever dreamed. She
would discover, after all, that it wasn't economy therefore, not
good business.
Many housewives today keep home cost systems. They have
learned that there is truer thrift in sending their family bundles
to the laundry to be washed and ironed by the scientific, clothes
conserving way of the modern laundry.
. Just bundle up everything and send it to the laundry. You'll
find the experiment a satisfying, gratifying surprise.
