Oregon's prospects of securing Gov ernment Irrigation reservoirs continue to improve.

"Whether this section will secure the first reservoir will be determined later on, but that It will ultimately be fa vored Is certain. This latest project has to do with the storing of the -waters of the Mal heur and Sllvles Elvers, whose waters are deemed ample to Irrigate the largo area set aside. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, June 20. On the recommendation of Irrigation engineers of the Geological Survey, who have been examining pro posed Irrigation sites in Southern Eastern Oregon, the Secretary of the Interior to day ordered the temporary withdrawal of 1.030,000 acres of land lying In Harney Valley, along the Sllvles River, and along th Malheur River In Malheur County. The engineers, who have been in the field since early Spring, are convinced that In both of these localities the Gov ernment can well afford to undertake the construction of storage reservoirs, with a view to reclaiming large areas of fertile but dry land. The engineers convinced themselves from preliminary examinations that the Sllvles and Malheur Rivers afford plenty of water to irrigate considerable areas. Now that the lands have been withdrawn, they will hereafter bo examined In detail to deter mine Just how great an acreage can be irrigated at reasonable cost, by impound ing the waters of these two streams. The Harney rnllcj- Project. The Harney Valley project, lying south east of Burns and north and east of Lake Malheur, embrices G22.0S0 acres, as fol lows: Townships 22 to 26, ranges 31, 32 and 23; township 22, R. 32; townships 23, 21 and 25, ranges 52, 33 and 34; township 26, ranges 33 and 34, all south and east. The Malheur River project proper em braces about 415,000 acres, lying on either side of the Malheur River and around the Own of Yale, extending from the Snake River westerly half way across. In addi tion there has been withdrawn over 51,- 000 acres lying Just west of this main tract, and directly on the river, which is to be utilized as a reservoir site. The main Malheur withdrawal Includes towrshlp 16, range 46; township 17, ranges 44, 45 and 46; township IS, ranges 43. 44, 45 and 46; townships 19 aud 20. ranges 44, 45 and 46; township 19. range 43; fractional townships 16, 17. IS. 19 and 20, range 47. lying west of the Snake River; township 16, ranee 48, all south and east. Rules Applying to the La.ii il. In the main withdrawals the lands are withheld from all save homestead entry; in the caso of the reservoir sites the lands are withdrawn from all entry, as the Gov eminent hopes to head off any settlement on lands which will ultimately be includ ed within the reservoir limits. Where .settlers are encountered, some arrange ment will have to be made to . exchange their lands for others within the proposed irrigated district. In addition to the two new withdrawals the Secretary has withdrawn from all entry nearly 19,000 acres lying In town ship 8, ranges 25 and 26, and township 2, Tange 25 north. These lands were recent ly withdrawn from all entry save home stead, along with other lands In the pro posed Umatilla project in Morrow Coun ty, but later Investigation has shown that the specified tracts are needed for res ervoir sites, and all further entry has been accordingly cut off. Significance of the Withdrawal. Great significance attaches to the with drawals. While it is not assured that the Government will undertake at -once the construction of storage reservoirs at any of the slte,designated, it is safe to say that such work will be done at some future time. The fact that the with drawals are made Indicates that the field engineers under Chief Hydrographer New ell are convinced from personal Inspec tion that the Government can construct Irrigation systems in Harney Valley, util izing the water of Silvles River, and in Malheur Valley, utilizing: the -water of Malheur River. Moreover, these en gineers are convinced that Govern ment irrigation systems can be "built on these localities at a reasonable cost, and from their preliminary investigations they know of no obstacle that would prevent the Government undertaking: the work. EBglBeem Will Continue Work. In each case, as in the Umatilla project, the field engineers -will continue their in vestigations to ascertain the actual cost of getting water on the land, and will de termine approximately bow much land can be reclaimed at a fair cost. They will also make a careful study to determine the best sites for reservoirs and for re taining dams. If, in the detailed exam ination, the engineers find that the cost of the work will be excessive, or the ex penditure disproportionate to the bene fits, or If it is found impracticable to erect the necessary dams, the projects will have to be abandoned, but there have been no developments to Indicate that un satisfactory conditions will be encoun tered. Hydrographer Newell and his repre sentatives In the field recognize the fact that Oregon Is one of the largest con tributors to the reclamation fund, and is therefore entitled to early and liberal con sideration in the way of Government Ir rigation works. Moreover, Mr. Newell, having been over a large part of East ern Oregon, and having been deeply In terested in Its welfare by ex-Representative Moody, is anxious to assist In re claiming much, of the fertile lands east of the Cascades. It Is not possible that all of the projects that may be found satis factory will be constructed at one time, but the one offering the most promising' results will undoubtedly be taken up first, and the others in the order of their Im portance. Upon the examinations made this Sum mer, It is expected that by next Spring Secretary Hitchcock will set aside a stip ulated sum for jsc In constructing Irriga tion works in Oregon, as the examinations made this Summer will demonstrate the practicability of the several works that have- been suggested, and the department will be able to satisfy Itself of the gen eral merits or deficiencies of each. Before the examinations are concluded other withdrawals may bo made in Ore gon, but it Is considered here that the most Important sites for Government ir rigation works have now been taken from speculative entry of all sorts.

ACCEPTED OFFICE AS PATRIOTS Political Foes for Years, They Bary Their Differences for Sake of Country and Think This Should Satisfy England. BRITAIX SEVERS RELATIONS. BELGRADE, June 20. Great Britain has practically cut off diplomatic rela tions with Servia. The British Minis ter, Sir G. F. Bonham, will leave here Monday for England. The Consul of Great Brtaln, "W. G. Thesiger, will take charge of British Interests. BELGRADE, June 20. The Foreign Min ister, M. Kellevlcs, In an interview today. expressed Intense Indignation at the an nouncement from London that the British Minister had been Instructed to withdraw from Belgrade on the arrival here of King Peter. The Minister said It was inexplica ble why tho British, government intended to make the provisional Servian Ministry responsible for tho deplorable events of the nlghfof June 10. The members of the present Cabinet, he added, had really dis played great patriotism In coming to the aid of their country In the sad crisis. Minister Kallevics' statement was made carefully for publication, and may be re garded as an official expression of the views of the government. The Minister said: "It Is with deep indignation that we find in a recent telegram from London an In dication that It Is intended to mako the present eovorniaentrfespcnslble for the de- pi or able events which occurred on tho night of June 10. It is known that tho events of that night were carried out by Servian officers, who had resolved to pre vent the probables-proclamation of the brother of Queen Draga as the successor to the throne. Regret for Killing- of Queen. The fact that a woman was among those who perished In tho struggle pro voked by the attack of an aid do camp upon officers is regrettable, more so as her death was by no means necessary, even though she had been deserted by the whole Servian people from the moment she presumed to place the crown upon her unworthy head. The upheaval of Juno 11 was the work of a large number of of ficers. The consequences of tho revolu tion, however, were sanctioned by the .whole army and the whole people. "With regard to the members of the provisional government who were called upon to take the reins of government In the absence of all other authority, they only proved their patriotism and personal courage by accepting so delicate a mission as that which the people unanimously and with gratitude solemnly confided to them. Political Foes Work Together. "It Is forgotten that the men compos ing the present government were drawn from all parties, and were "hitherto en gaged in bitter political strife. Only de votion to their country could unite them at this critical moment Proof of the fact that they rendered good service to their country is found in the peace and order prevailing throughout the land. "We have, therefore, good reason to regret tho fact that an attempt is' now being made by England, as the result of erroneous information, to cast suspicion on a state of affairs which has for Its object the maintenance of order and the eventual regeneration of a young- nation, which has passed through a time of trial, and which is attached to the cause of liberty and civilization." The new Servian constitution was ga zetted today together with a decree abol ishing the constitution ol April.6, 1901, and all ordinances contravening the new con stitution. Unless King Peter is prepared to Ignore altogether the foreign demands for the punishment of the assassins, his only means of satisfying any requirements ap pear to be to persuade the criminals to absent themselves until quiet is restored, when they will be permitted to resume their places in the army. The provisional government holds office solely at the will of tho army, and should King Peter prom ise to punish the officers Implicated it Is as likely as not that the army will with draw the invitation to occupy the throne. It Is suggested In official circles that Russia may possibly advise the officers concerned to so absent themselves. FRANCE NEUTRAL FOR THE TIME. Question of the Kind's Recognition Has Sot Been Passed Upon. PARIS, June 20. Foreign Minister Del casse's colleagues express the belief that he is likely to deprecate the Servian tragedy by an explanation similar to those of Russia and Austria, but It is pointed out that King Peter took tho Initiative in the cases of Russia and Austria by telegraphing to the Czar and Emperor Francis Joseph, thus affording them the opportunity for Russian and Austrian responses, whereas the Servian King has not addressed the other powers, and, consequently, has not given them an opportunity to make rejoinders. Tho op portunity however, will come when the question of recognition of King Peter arises. In the meanwhile, tho French Minister at Belgrade has been instructed to re strict his action to current routine aflalrs,- and to remain in a neutral attitude toward the new regime until the question of the King's recognition Is formally de cided. AMERICA IS WITH BRITAIN. MlnlMter "Will Xojt Present Himself Until IClng: Shevvsv His Hand. WASHINGTON, June "20. The United States Government bad adopted an atti tude similar to that of England toward the new Srvian dynasty.

Servia Is Playing: Foxy Game. BELGRADE, Juno 20. The alarmist re ports regarding alleged events at Con stantinople are deliberately concocted and circulated with tho connivance of the Servian officials, with the object of divert ing tho attention of the people from the hostile criticism of events in Servia, In now arriving foreign newspapers.

Stringent measures of sanl- tatlon have lessened the danger of typhoid epidemic. Heppner will bo cleaned thor oughly by next Wednesday. Heppner now has all the food and cloth lng required. Money donations are still welcome. The total sum received to date is about $30,000. About $14,000 more is promised. Tho O. R. & N. construction train, ar rived at Heppner at 10:30 A. M. today and tho regular train arrived this even ing. An army of 30f4p.'K)0men, worklng-tvith a will durlnif the past two days, has rabout completed the seemingly herculean. task of -overhauling- the. huge-piles of de bris between Heppner and lone.' Today's work has added nine to the list of gruesome finds. Tomorrow all the smaller remaining drifts, brush and the creek bed will bo gone over. This work. together with tho completion of the labor of cleaning out tho cellars and fllled-ln holes In Heppner, will doubtless result In finding a few more bodies. The remain. ing missing will have to be given up as past recovery, as, being covered with mud, no clue can be secured leading to their discovery. It is remarkable that, though nearly a week of warm weather has elapsed since tho disaster, tho bodies today showed only the preliminary stages of decomposition. Of course the heaps of hailstones heretofore mentlonel ac count for this. Coated with1 mud, the hailstones have not yet all melted. All ISew Bodies Identified. All the deid brought to the morgue to day were easily recognizable, with the exception of Eunice Brlggs. She was tho eldest daughter of L. W. Brlggs, book keeper for Gilliam & BIsbee. She chanced to be away visiting her aunt, Mrs. Gur- dane, and both were lost, though her own home was uninjured. When brought In today, the girl's face was found to have been crushed, but strips of clothing and a necklace served to Identify her. As usual, all tho bodies showed signs of terrible usage. Mrs. Susan Leffler's head was cut open. The body of tho wife of John Jenkins, who was brought In to day, has not yet been recovered, though tho daughter, Zella, was found some days ago. Four orphans aro left of this fam ily, two boys and two girls. Clara An drews was the daughter of Clarence An drews, ex-County Clerk of Morrow County, and niece of Georgo Swlggart. Andrews entire family, wife and four children, were lost. He Is ln Skagway, Alaska. Blanche Redfleld was the 13- year-old daughter of C E. Redfleld. Hht wife and daughter were alone In the house at the time of the flood. Dan Stalter had almost saved his wife, but a rush of wreckage tora her from him forever. Mrs. Hodglns, tho last recovered today, was a widow of 66, who lived alone. All were taken out of big drifts from four to eight miles below town. Sickness Due to Bad Water. An alarming number of workmen yes terday complained of diarrhea. It Is esti mated that 40 per cent of them and many other people about the town have been affected. Dr. C. J. Smith, the State Board of Health officer, promptly directed that all drinking water served to the men should be treated with sulphuric acid. making a sour and quite agreeable drink, which counteracts tho alkaline fermenta tion in the intestines. It is much used in cholera-infected regions, and Its effect was very marked- today, there being a decided falling off of tho complaints. Dr. Smith deputlzsd a man today to go to Lexington to look after sanitation there, and Dr. Reed, of lone, has agreed Jo take similar care at the latter place. Dr. Smith's Chinese pump has been work ing most effectively all day clearing water and mud from cellars. Tomorrow a force of wheelbarrow men will completo the work of clearing the debris. 'If tho work goes on as it baa been dolnfr " said Dr. Smith tonight, "the town will be thoroughly cleaned by Wednesday. All deDends upon keeping an efficient force at work. The Portland workers, by the way, are wonders. This outfit, with out decrying any of the others, Is the most efficient that has como to Heppner. It is because they work so systematically, They are practical men. At least a third of them are suitable foremen for gangs of laborers anywhere. More WUllng Workers. The Sumpter and Baker contingents. which have been doing much hard work. left for home tonight, their places being taken by 78 sturdy men from Pendleton. Fourteen strong, capable women also ar rived from Pendleton. They will take tho places of women workers here, who are now on the verge of collapse from physical and emotional overstraining. Ten men of the Baker City relief com mitted announced tonight that they would. stay as long as need for their services lasted. At the suggestion of -Dr.' Smith a portion of the Pendleton forco will be set at. work converting the piles of broken lumber into stovewood for the impover ished families .here. Tho generosity of outside towns and in dividuals Is deeply appreciated by the citizens of Heppner. The little hamlet of Pilot Knob sent in ten men with Ave team's today, and will contribute $500 in money. The contributions of Pendleton In money alone amount to $1 per capita. Individuals here showi-Jthe same spirit. Tonight Miss Pearl Shelton, of lone, who has been working hard all week at one of the eating places, contributed her en tire pay to the fund. Orphans Provided For. George K. Rogere and Hermann Schade, representatives of the Portland Wood men of the World, arrived here today to Investigate the needs of members of their order and also to learn If the full fund at the disposal of their relief committee will be requled here. They will look after the two orphaned children of J. II. Long. These little ones are all that survived of a family of seven, father, mother and the three other children having gone down in the catastrophe. Most fortunate for them and interesting to record is the fact that two nights before his death the father Joined the Woodmen, thus securing to the children the sum of $2000. RELIEF FUNDS RECEIVED.

CHICAGO, June 2Ct The Picket, a horse that never before flashed first past tho post, won the American Derby toddy. He set the pace every step of the distance, was never challenged, and won in. a gallop by six lengths. He ran Gje Derby distance. one and a half miles, faster than It was ever run before In the race. His time was 2:33. Claude, the winner of three Derbies, was second. Bernays, the Cincinnati can didate was third. It was a race without the thrill of an exciting finish. The weather was excel lent and the track fine. The crowd of ;0,000 people, which witnessed the ISth run ning of the event, saw a contest that had been decided when the field turned Into the stretch. In front of a struggling field The Picket ran so easily and truly as to leave no doubt where he would finish. The roar of the cheers which greeted the successful horse began when The Picket was more than an eighth of a mile from the wire. A Record-Breaker of the Tiirf. The Derby was a record-breaker of the turf. Nineteen horses went to the post, the hist previous field having 15. The larg est crowd that ever gathered on a West ern race track covered the Washington Park grounds. The race was worth $32, 275,,gros3 value, the richest In tho history of the race with one exception. Betting on the race began in March and continued until the horses went to the post. More money, it is asserted, was wagered on the' Derby than on any other race ever run in America. The victory of The Picket was no sur prise, because a surprise was expected. But there was some big disappointments. Savable, the favorite son of Salvator, Jhought by John A. Drake to be invincible, failed to live up to his reputation. He re ceived a ride from Jockey Lester Relft that seemingly a novice could have dupli cated. Savable was never dangerous, and the fortune bet on him .by his owner went to enrich tho bookmakers. Picket Leads From -the First. Starter Dwyer delayed the start nine minutes before ho dropped the flag. Sinner Simon, a "dark horse," was the first to get In motion, but The Picket did not de lay an instant. In the first rush for posi tion he was successful, and he had the lead in comparatively a few strides. Past the stand, Au Revolr, the hope of Mem phis, was running second with Gllfain, with Maxey Slumanthal and other con spicuous candidates In the next position. There was no hustling until the Held struck the back stretch. Savable was In seventh place, and in front of him was The Picket, Au. Revolr, Linguist, Bonnie Burr, Gold Bell and Bad News. Behind Savable was Claude. There was not an Important move by a Jockey until the field bad passed the half mile pole and struck the big bend. The Picket, then running at hi3 own clip, never faltered; Au Revolr began to weaken; Linguist waa all through and began to drop back; Claude made bis move and quickly ad vanced to fourth place. Savable. at this critical place, only held his own. The grad ually lengthening field of horses was at the head of the stretch. The Picket Has as He Pleases. The remainder ofcAbe Journey was through a lane of people, who were cling ing to the rails 100 deep on each side of the course. There was no electrifying struggle. Tho Picket had his field beaten and beaten badly. He was simply running as he pleased. Jockey Helgerwra eased him up a bit as he neared the wire. The ,(Co la mi Seea4 Pag-)
