LARGE SUMS INVOLVED Programme for 1922 Affects Land Approximating 230,000 Acres in Various Scvtions. SALEM, Or.. March 17. (Special.) Deschutes county, according to a re port prepared here today, will be the center of irrigation activities in Ore gon during the year 1922. Six irri gation districts, two Carey act proj ects and one private project, all de siring to obtain water from the Deschutes river, are showing marked activity. Some of these desire allot ments of water, others ask authority to sell bonds and others to engage in actual construction work. The total area involved is approximately 230,- 000 acres, of which 70,000 acres are now irrigated. The Jefferson conservancy district, tho largest of these projects, com prises about 100.000 acres and has voted bonds in the amount of J5.000, 000 for its construction work. The Tumalo district has authorized the issuance of $550,000 in bonds and ia negotiating with the Walker Basin Irrigation company for the purchase of Crescent lake for a storage basin. This district proposes to complete the reclamation of 16,000 acres, of vhich 8000 are now irrigated. Carry Act Controls Plan. The North Canal company has taken over the residue of the old Centrol Oregon Irrigation company's project and proposes to reclaim about 20.000 acres under the Carey act. The Powell Butte irrigation district and West Unit district are both seek ing, allotments of water from the Deschutes, as is also the Arnold ditch, while the Lone P'ne irrigation district is endeavoring to get a water supply through the canal of the Cen tral Oregon irrigation district. The Walker Basin Carey act project contemplates the cancellation of its east unit and the completion of its 10,000 acres of west unit. Other Project tndrr Way. In addition to projects that are de pendent upon the Deschutes 'river for a water supply, there are several others in the Deschutes country. The Suttles lake project of some 15.000 acres in Jefferson county, lying west of the Deschutes river, proposes to store water in Suttles lake and divert the stored water together with the direct flow of Lake creek and First creek. This project is awaiting a favorable opportunity for financing. Squaw creek, Snow creek and Bear creek districts are also in this locality. For construction work assured for the year the Rogue river valley takes the. lead. Talent district bonds in the amount of $474,500 were - recently sold, and bids were received on JJarch 14 for -the construction of a storage dam at Hyatt prairie and the east lateral. . Medford Work Progresses. Construction work will be contin ued on the Medford district. The work has progressed sufficiently to insure a delivery of water to the land this season. However, the storage' dam at Four Mile lake and the canal diverting this water Into Fish lake will not be completed until late in the season. The total cost of this project ' will be about $1,250,000, of which several hundred thousand will be expended during 1922. . The Grants Pass district will ex tend its system to cover an addi tional unit, an?, arrangements have been perfected to begin the necessary construction work at an early date. In addition to the Talent, Medford and Grants Pass districts, . which will expend in the aggregate nearly $1,000,000 this year, the Eagle Point district, also in the Rogue River val ley, may start construction work. Smaller Projects Clustered. Many smaller irrigation projects are clustering around the large United States reclamation service project at Klamath Falls. A number of these projects plan to construct works to divert water from the gov orniment canal. The Shasta View, Malin. Patterson and Enterprise dis tricts are of this character. The Enterprise district is already con structed and the other three have prospects of getting under way this season. Likewise, the Klamath drain age district, which is seeking to drain and irrigate what is known as Lower Klamath lake, may be .able to shape Its affairs up and dispose of its se curities and begin construction. In addition to the foregoing the United States reclamation service has extended its activities to the Langell valley unit of the Klamath project. In northern Lake county work is now under way on the Summer and Silver lake projects, and some water will be delivered this season. Three projects are active in Har ney county, as follows: The Harney basin project, which will control the water for from 60,000 to $0,000 acres In Harney valley, most of which is now partially irrigated, the cost of the development being upward of $3,000,000. The 40,000-acre project of partially Irrigated land to( be served by storage on the Blitzen river. The Silver creek project, which con templates the irrigation ' of about 17,000 acres by the construction of a storage reservoir on Silver creek. statement made by Dr. Thaddeus L. Bolton in Philadelphia that the Mac Donald family, connected with the ghost episode at Antigonish, N. S-, is the same that figured in the ghost mystery near here eight years ago failed to show any connection, be tween the two families. Dr. J. N. MacLean, pastor of the Missoula Presbyterian church, said that 37 years ago he taught school in Antigonish and boarded at the Mac Donald home where the ghost Is al leged to have made its appearance re cently.

A epecial dispatch - received from Boston tonight by the Missoulian said the Antigonish MacDonalds are in dignant in denying any connection with the Missoula ghost investigated here eight years ago, as hinted by Dr. Bolton. - GANDHI POLITE TO JUDGE 1XDIAX RADICAL CHEERFUL AS SENTENCE IS PRONOUNCED Jurist Is Thanked After Six-Year Penalty Is Inflicted on Non-Co-operationlst. A M E D A B A D, BRITISH INDIA, March 19. (By the Associated Press.) Asked by the magistrate Saturday, prior to being sentenced to' six years' imprisonment, whether he pleaded guilty to all the charges made against him by the advocate general, Mohan das K. Gandhi, the non-co-operation-ist leader, replied in the affirmative. The advocate-general pointed out that the articles of Gandhi prinied.in Young India, formerly a part of the campaign to s p r e a d disaffection openly, systematically to render gov ernment impossible and to bring about the overthrow of the government. Thereupon Gandhi made a long statement in which he admitted that teaching disaffection against the ex isting system of government had be come almost a passion with him. He declared he took all the blame for the disorders in Madras, Bombay and Chauri Chaura; but he added that if he were liberated he would keep up his work. Non-violence was the first and last article of his faith; he bore no ill will against any single adminis trator nor any disaffection toward the king's person. Gandhi said he was in court to sub mit cheerfully to the highest penalty which could be inflicted and that there were only two courses open to the judge, either to resign if he felt the law he was called upon to administer was evil and Gandhi was innocent, or to inflict the most severe penalty if he believed Gandhi's activity injurious to the public weal. The judge said he was unable to understand how Gandhi could have continued to believe violence would not be the inevitable consequence of his political teachings and announced that he would pass the simple sentence of two years imprisonment on each of the three counts, making six years altogether. Gancfhi in replying thanked the court for his courtesy! He said he considered the sentence as light as any judge could possibly have in flicted. Crowds besieged the offices of Toung India to read Gandhi's state ment, but there was no disorder.
