Mr. Fortier reviewed the progress of
Irrigation work In the West, pointing
out what had been accomplished for a
great area during the past ten yeara.
lie attributed to the large increase In
population of the Western states the
Irrigation of desert lunde, although the
dry farming districts, he said, had at
tracted thousands of settlers.
"It Is a fact that the building of Ir
rigation works Is far In the front, and
the settlement of Irrigable lands la far
In the rear." said Mr. Fortier. "In ten
years of good time we have added to
the irrigated area of the West but
6.200.000 acres. In other word. In
order to bring settler to the li.000.-
000 acres of land which are ready or
will be ready to be served by lrrlga-
lon canala In the next seven or elcht
years, we will have to procure et-
tlers about three times as fast as we
have secured them In the past decade.
.Now. no transportation company
ould be foolish enough to construct
railroad and make no provision for
It operation and maintenance. It is,
he re fore, wise for Irrigation enter
prise to provide - water supplies for
lands which cannot aoon be cultivated
and Irrigated. Four year ago when
this congress met In Sacramento, Cal.,
nd still again at its sessions In Spo
ane. Wash, and Pueblo, Colo.. I tried
to point out the large areas of land
that were unreclaimed because there
waa no one to plant the seed and
moisten the soil. I then urged, aa I do
now, that more consideration be given
those feature of Irrigation which
directly concern the Irrigator. It 1
our duty to teach the man already on
the land how to get higher returns
from the areas already open to settle
ment. Throwing open new area will
ot olve the problem. We must dem
onstrate Increased rettrns from more
Intensive cultivation, better method
of applying water, more wisdom In
planting and In harvesting.
Settlers Seed Ec meow rave me at.
The West must not place on the
Industrious settler a burden greater
than he can bear. Already the price of
land under many of tbe irrigation en
terprises Is more than he can pay for.
Raise It a little higher and he will stay
at home.
"The value placed upon the farm
lands ot the I'ntted states by their
owners has increased 117 per cent In
ten years, but the value of lands In

creased In the same time 203 per cent.
Only a little more Inflation Is needed
In some Irrigation districts to burst
the bubble crested by land boomers.

ever, this difference between the two.
The value of water 1 not fictitious.
It' upward trend In price has been
due to the fact that the supply avail
able for future use Is becoming every
year less and less. We shall probably
never see the day when water will sell
for less than It has In' 1911.
Present conditions In many of the
Irrigation states call for, we believe,
a readjustment of land values. While
this readjustment la being made, every
effort should be put forth to increase
the :!d and value of irrigated prod-
uts. Occasionally enormous yields and
corresponding profits are obtained
from Irrigated land. These are frerly
used as a warrant for holding- Irri

States I rged to Aid Project.
in many states of the west, prog
res in Irrigation Is being retarded,
and coatly Investments rendered
secure, by the lack of proper legisla
tion on the part of State Legislatures.
Some of these urgently needed laws
are clearer definitions. in regard to th
flow of water In streams and Its use

40 years of wonderful achievements in
the reclamation of her arid lands. I
going back once more to the Irrigation
primer In an effort to find out th
meaning of direct lrrlgatalon. It may
cost the farmers of this state Jl. 000,000
or more to find out whether Winter ir
r! gat Ion should be defined a direct
rigation or merely the storage of wa
trr In the soil.
"Again, if priorities are to hold on
the water of stream lying wholly
within the state lines, they should also
hold on Interstate streams. A law so
general as that of priorities should not
become Inoperative by crossing an lm
aginary line which separates two pollt
leal divisions.
Western States, through their re
spective Legislatures, must also get be
hind the irrigation bond. If it is not
feasible to guarantee the Irrigation
district and Carey land act project bond
It should be safeguarded by state of
fleers In every possible way. Falling
this, auch bonds are likely to be discred
ited and thereby tarnish the good name
of Western States.
I can see no good reason to believe
that progress in the decade which lies
before will be less rapid than In the
decade which Is past. I have merely
called attention to a few things which
may retard development unless ade
quate measures are adopted to safe
guard all interests. In my humble
opinion, some of the most Important of
these are, the speedy settlement of
lands now under ditch, the giving of
additional aid to settlers on Irrigated
farms, a readjustment of land values
and more particularly, orchard land
values, a more economical use of ap
propriated water supplies, broader and
better Irrigation lawa by Western
States and more efficient administrative
systems."
EAST SIDE URGED AS
SITE FOR AUDITORIUM
In Coair.nrJcation to The Oregonian, C. B. Moorcs Declares That Two
Thirds of Fopnlation Will Always Be East of River.

pepse. while in urvs.in tl.ey would find
little dlf f Ii ulty in securing red nt all
times of the year. This statement was
ub!tar.tialci by Mr. Parkwood. who
i.ald that the wild stretches of land,
both to c)st and weft of Kose-
I'Urs. would furnish erceller.t grazing
grounds for these animals.
In order that immediate action migut
le expected, a committee of Klks. com
posed of Klnger Hermann. Frank ii.
ill.elll and Charles Parrott was ap
pointed for the purpose of taking the
matter up with Orecon'a representa
tive! In Congress. The action of the
K.ks has resulted In no little intercut
among the citizens of Hoseburg. and a
determined effort will be made to In
duce Congress to take official recogni
tion of th resolutions. I
that the
Auditorium Commission has definitely
derided to reject ih. proposed site at
Twentieth and Va.hincrton streets, be
cause the cost of the site is prohibitive.
After the Ccmmipsion Itself and the
consulting arch.tects had approved this
location. which had already been
recommended by Mr. Pennett In his
"City Beautiful" plan, there seemed to
be a general disposition on both the
Hast and West aides to accept It with
out protest. It is now said that the
choice Is finally reduced to the Market
block or an East Side location.
The Commission hss already been
quoted as declaring that the Market
block Is an undesirable location, and
Mr. Wilcox has been reported as -declaring
that he would resign his place
on the Commission rather than to be
held responsible for Its selection. Ex
cept for the fact that the Market block
Is owned by the city It Is doubtful
whether It would ever have been
thought of In this connection. It Is
not. and never will be. a central loca
tion. It is in what will soon be the
extreme soutnv.estern section of the
city, the whole tendency of whose
growin is away irom it.
Location la Ideal.
It Is located south of all the bridges.
It is located in the Fifth Ward, and
only the Fifth and Sixth wards lie
south of It. and even a portion of the
FlTth Ward lies on the north. The
National census of 110 gave these
two wards a population of only 2S.6S2,
which means that over 200.000 of the
present population of the city of Port
land would be compelled to approach
an auditorium on this block from the
north. The location Is uterly ' unsuit
able. In past discussions there has
been manifest the usual habit to criti
cise the Commission and to Jump at
conclusions.- We have appropriated
$600,000.
It la apparent that all of this should
go Into the building. If we are to have
an auditorium that will be a credit
to the city. We need more than one
block of 200 feet square. If we are
not to have the necessary space, and
a building to correspond with audi
toriums In cities of the same grade as
Portland, such as St. I'aul, Kansas City
and Denver, then we may as well move
the Gipsy Smith tabernacle over to the
Market block and save 1650,000 of our
appropriation. That is Just where
many of the critics would land us. The
wisest economy Is to build an audi
torlum that Portland will never have to
apologize for.
The worst extravagance is to build
a makeshift on 200 feet square. The
Information that has been secured In
regard to the experience of other cities
should be wisely utilized. We need
not be hampered and confined to the
.Market block simply because the city
own It. We do not lose it as an asset
Dy selecting some other location. It
can be profitably sold or exchanged
tor a larger and a better location.
The way Is open for the discussion of
a location on the East Side, though
many provincial West Siders will be
painfully shocked at the suggestion.
They cannot realize that the East Side
is no longer the tall of the dog. There
are tens of thousands ' of our own
citizens who do not know where the
potential City of Portland really Is,
and who have little conception of
where, or what. It Is to be. They con
ceive that the West Side Is always to
do all the business, because It always
has. They prove It by telling us that
ew orK Is Immensely greater than
Brooklyn, without considering that our
topography Is entirely different, and
that conditions are not analogous. No
one doubts that the West Side will hold
and enormously increase its business,
but our present splendid skyscrapers
would cut a small figure In a city with
a million people. There Is no logical
reason why a city of a million or more
people should, in all the coming days,
flock across the bridges seeking a
region of exorbitant rents and of
narrow and congested streets in which
to do all their business.
The National census, taken April 15,
l!il0. gave West Portland a population
of 8,734. out of a total In the whole
city of over 207,000. an excess In favor
of the East Side of 85.000 people. The
Increase alone of the East Side popula
tion In the ten years preceding the
census waa greater than the entire
accumulation of the West Side in the
whole 60 years of Its existence, and
the ratio of Increase on the East Side
In the past two years Is greater than
ever before, and constantly growing.
During the ten years ending April 15.
ine population or West Portland
increased a trine over 50 ner cent.
while the population of the East Side
vas quadrupled. The Tenth Ward
alone, the extreme northeast ward of
tne city. Increased from 6099 In lsOO to
30,128 In 1910, an Increase almost
equaling the increase of the whole of
West Portland. In 1910 the residence
permits alone on the East Side were
3115. while on tbe West Side they
were. 200, practically the old free silver
ratio of 16 to 1. For the first 11 months
of the present year the residence per
mlts on the East Side were 3092, and
on the West Side they were 166. a ratio
of nearly 19 to 1. Last month the ratio
was 24 to 1. This give the East Side a
total of 6217 residence permits in the
last 23 months against 370 for the
West Side, and Indicates such an In
crease on the East Side, since the
census, as to warrant the claim that
we now lead the West Side by 60,000.
orthivest District Grons Rapidly.
More than one-half of that popula
tion Is north and east of Sullivan's
Gulch. The Ninth and Tenth wards lie
north of the gulch. The census of 1910
gave them a population of over 64,000.
The northeastern part of the Eighth
Ward Is also north of the gulch. There
hould also be considered the G000 peo
ple In St. Johns. During the paBt two
ear.?. Mnce the cenans. this northeaat-
ru dlsfict has developed more rapidly
than any other part of the city. Ke-
utable authorities declare that of all
he homes buidt in the entire city dur-
ng this time, at least 75 per cent have
been erected In this dist-ict. Let those
who doubt it visit Vernon, Rossmere,
Irvlngton and the various additions In
the Hose City Park district. With the
completion of the new steel and Broad
way bridges, the prevailing trend of
population toward the north and east
will greatly increase. Both of these
bridges are to be so high as to be
above almost all the river traffic, the
"open draw" will no longer be a men
ace, and the car service should be the
best in the city.
The West Side is gradually approach
ing Its limit. The project of building
a tunnel, one mile in length, through
to the Tualatin Valley, is worthy of
all commendation, but the people will
not, from preference, travel through
a hole in the ground a mile in length
twice a day to seek a location out of
sight of the city and the rivers and
the mountains. They will go. rather,
a distance of five or even ten miles,
through the open air and sunshine over
the various radiating lines of the East
WBEIB DI8KX3B BEGINS.
The advent of the KEWANEE
GARBAGE BURNER means the
"Good-bye" of the garbage collector, with all
the uncertainties, the foul odors and disease-spreading features of his calling.
Ye gods ! what "a consummation devoutly to be wished" !
What a travesty on mod
em government that we have permitted the gar
bage collector to live as long as we have! In this
one thing all America is deficient. We're awake
v:'" 'Si'V fc now wide awake. The recent strike has opened
l-t:Mll'flIl?g our eyes. We have learned how asinine we are to
jjui uiscasq m me minus oi mese men 10 scalier
as they will when things don't go to suit them.
The KE WANEE GAR-
BAGE BURXER is the deliverance. It prevents
the creation of garbage. With that steel chamber
in use everywhere there can be no such thing as
garbage. It burns the refuse from your kitchen
while it is still wet and fresh. It hasn't a chance on earth to decay and draw rats,
mice, flies and germs. It burns all the refuse around your premises, so that you
take on a hospital cleanliness. Then see the children thrive and grow fat. Ask
any competent physician who is versed in hygiene and sanitation whether this
is advertising bunk or the good, old, everyday truth.
You folks who live in apartments and flats
should never sign a lease until you KNOW that a Kewanee Garbage Burner is
in the building. It means a mighty lot to you and even more to your children.
It means health and pure air and decent surroiuidings. It means that youi
daily lives have taken on a cleaner tone. It means
death to the foul garbage can. It means death to
the filth housefly death to rats and mice and
vermin death to disease of the virulent type,
such as diptheria, typhoid fever, smallpox and
their cheerful companions in crime.
The Kewanee Garbage Burner ac
complishes more than the mere destruction of garbage
and filth more than the prevention of disease. The burning
refuse acts as fuel and heats your hot water tank at a saving in.
fuel cost of from 30 to 50 per cent. Get wise to this proposition
now and remember that the fact that your building is equipped
with a Kewanee Garbage Burner is the biggest and be3t adver
tisement you can have.

The people will follow upon the trail
of these developments, and with them
will go all the accessories of a great
city. To the average layman it is not
apparent why the heavy trend of popu
lation should not continue toward the
north and the east. The propnets nave

of 1 000,000 and that when mat aay

thoroughfares In the City of Portland.
The prudent man will not dispute the
prophecy.
The mirlltorluDm should be located
largely with reference to probable con
ditions a generation hence, and as
much with reference, to tne conven
ience of our own people as to that of
visitors from abroad, lor 11 is iiboij
that the patronage will be principally
from our own people, and It is certain

of the most central and convenient lo
cations for the auditorium, even under
nraarnt conditions, is the block lying
between Grand and Union avenues and
facinr Holladay avenue. There are few
locations in Portland where the car
traffic Is so large or continuous. There
are tracks upon three sides of the
block. All of the traffic into the Holla-day-Irvlngton
district, all of the south
bound traffic down Grand and Union
avenues, and all of the traffic leading
north on Union avenue to Piedmont,
Walnut Park, the Alberta district, St.
Johns and Vancouver goes pasi mis

iatinti havins: a larger volume of.
travel, and few. If any, upon the West
Side There Is no location that has
been named that is more accessible to
so large a number of people. It lies
almost exactly upon the middle line of
the city measuring north and south,
and It lieB 15 blocks west not east
of Nineteenth street, which is the mid
dle line of the city, measuring east and
West.
With conditions existing even as
they are today. It 1 a location supe
rior to any other that has been sug
gested,, and considered with reference
to future conditions, there Is no other
suggested or available location that
will compare with It. There is but
little doubt that the proceeds of the
sale of the Market block would be
ample to purchase all the space that
Is needed at this location. Needed leg
islation authorizing such a Bale ought
to be easily secured.

INDIAN, AGED 103, PASSES
"Uncle" John McKay, Famous as
Scout and Soldier, Dies at Tiller.
ROSEBURG, Or., Dec. 16. (Special.)
"Uncle" John McKay, 103 years of
age, and for more than 75 years a resi
dent of Oregon, died at the home of
Thomas Rondeau, near Tiller, Douglas
County, on Monday. The funeral was
held on Tuesday, burial following in the
Tiller cemetery.
According to persons who have known
McKay for many years, he was of In
dian parentage, and was closely af
filiated with the Hudson Bay Com
pany during its period of operations in
Oregon. During the Indian wars "Un
cle" John served as a scout, for which
service the Government granted him a
pension. Althoug.1 an Inaian. he was a
close friend of the "whites," and made
an excellent record as a scout and sol
dier.
the oldest man in Southern Oregon, and ,
was well known throughout Douglas j
County. Although retaining the pe-
cullaritles of the Indian to the end, he
was honest in his dealings, liberal in
his views and displayed marked intel
ligence In all matters of current in
terest. Although feeble during the last
few years of his life, he never com
plained, and avoided publicity. Upon
many occasions persona have attempted
to interest him In making publlo his
life, but as often he refused.
