WOMEN IN CROWD FAINT -Speech Is Considered More Scolding Than Challenge and Parted Lips Interpreted as More of a . Snarl Than Smile. ' ' BY. ANNE SHANNON MONROE. OREGON BUILDING, Panama-Pacific International Exposition, July 21. (Special.) The largest crowd to gather about a speaker on the Expo sition grounds since opening day greeted Colonel Roosevelt In the Court of the Universe this afternoon, where he was scheduled to deliver his speech on , "War and Peace." with the soft pe.dal on the "Peace." Colonel Roosevelt came to the stand amidst a glittering; military escort to the rousing strains of "America," with everyone standing, hats doffed and eyes straining, and he was received with cheers not the old-time cheers of his best Madison Square Garden days or even of his earlier, more pop ular days, but . still with complimen tary cheers. There was no buoyancy in his greet ing, and he hadn't that happy, exuber ant well-boy s-l'm-mighty-glad-to-be-liere manner that used to get the peo ple, whether his platform got them or not. His lips seemed parted in more of a snarl than a smile, and his speech, while not overspiced, was still more of a scolding than a challenge. Hmfn Caught In Crowd Faint. It was 5:30 o'clock when Mr. Roose velt finished his speech. In the im mense human pack that sought to push to the front to see him more closely, and to follow on through the archways, several women fainted and others, were hysterical. The woman's board invited Mrs. Roosevelt to a luncheon, which was planned to be in Iceeping with the recent brilliant af fairs for Mrs. Champ Clark, but Mrs. -tiooseveit declined. . The Panama-Pacific Historical Con gress met Wednesday in the lecture hall of the Oregon building, with Pro fessor Joseph Schafer, of liugene, pre siding. Professor Schafer also had the principal paper on "The Western Ocean as a Determinant in Oregon History." One of the delightful little visits of the day was with Mr. and Mrs. Wal lace Munro. A number of Oregonians present remembered Mrs. Munro as Charlotte Tittell. who with her sister. Minnie Tittell, played in a Portland stock company years ago at the old Cordray Theater. James and his wife registered ' ana as "Portland's arrest the other day, Mr. James being ana airs. James tipping more than 200 pounds. SCENERY HOLDS JAPANESE Fruitgrower Explains Presence Hood Itiver Colony. of HOOD RIVER, Or.. July 24. (Spe cial.) The fact that Hood River Coun ty, with the exception of Multnomah, has more Japanese residents than any other county In the state is due. ac cording to S. Turaibe, a. Japanese ranch er, of Dee. In a. great measure to the scenery of the district. . "We are attracted here as much by the scenery as by the profit to be de rived from small fruit culture." he says. "I have been away from home for 10 years, but if I should remain away five times that long. I would never forget our sacred mountain nor the other beautiful scenery. I can keep from getting lonely by looking on what's the word you use? magnificent, yes, that's it your magnificent Mount Hood." Many of the 'local Japanese farm ers are married, having sent to Japan for their wives, and are rearing families.

WASTE CAN BE AVOIDED WIRELESS CASE-DROPPED Tax Commission Quits Effort Compute "3UIeage" of Plant. to OLYMPIA, Wash., July 24. (Special.) The Washington Tax Commission has abandoned as hopeless its attempt to compute the "mileage" of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company, and has instructed the King County Assessor to proceed to assess that company's prop erty. The Washington tax law, adopted be fore wirelc j telegraphy became a fac tor, provides that the tax commission shall assess the property of all tele graph companies and that the taxes levied against them shall be distrib uted amonf? the counties in a "wire mileage besis." For two years the tax commission has been attempting to harmonize these two provisions of the law in the assess ment of the Marconi Company. from couple six feet six, the scales at This led to a merry little meetine- b tween the Jameses and old-time friends.

INDIANS WANT $500,000 HUCKLEBERRY CROP BIG Abundance to Be Found in Moun taina in Estacada District. ESTACADA, Or.. July 24. (Special.) Reports are daily reaching Estacada of the promise of an abundant huckle berry crp in the nearby mountains this year. For the past two years this valuable crop has been almost a failure, owing to the forest fires nearby, but from present indications there will be a suf ficient quantity. When the huckleberry crop has been good in former years hundreds of local farmers and parties from distant points migrate to the largest patch on Wild Cat Mountain, about 15 miles east of Estacada. where they camp and bring out tons of the berries. This year the bear are plentiful and their depredations may diminish, but not seriously affect the supply. Sandy Soils of Umatilla- Project Found to I'leld Best W ith Fre quent Applications In Moderate Amounts. WASHINGTON. July '25. On the sandy soils of the Umatilla reclamation project in Oregon it is necessary to handle irrigation water- carefully in order to get the greatest benefit. Many tests were made on the project experiment farm at Hermlston, Or., last yea-, to determine the most eco nomical' methods of handling irriga tion water. The specialists in charge of this work lay emphasis on the use or short Irrigation furrows, ranging from 100 to 200 feet in length, and 0 to 39 Inches apart, using fairly shallow, well-opened furrows to facil itate the flow of water. They also advocate that water should bo run for only a short time in one place, as loss soon occurs from deep percolation. aince the storage capacity of this soil is low, only a small amount of water should be used for each irriga tion, and frequent applications made to maintain an adequate supply for plant growth. Best results were ob tained, by using a comparatively large stream of water wljile irrigating in order to cover the land as quickly as possible. Series of Testa Made. On virgin land without crops It was found that a 2Vi-inuh application of water was retained in the first tour feet of soil; five inches of water, ap plied under identical conditions, filled the first 10 feet to its full carrying capacity, and part of the water passed even below this depth. A 2-inch ap plication really does as much benefit to the crop as a five or 10-inch ap plication. After five and 10-inch ap plications of water were made to two plats having .the same kind of soil there remained an equal quantity of water in each plat to a depth of four feet, and this quantity was practically the same as was retained by the same layer of soil where a 2 -inch Irriga tion was applied. Where the land was of finer texture than in the above experiment, and bearing a crop of alfalfa, a 4-Inch application of water was all held in the upper four feet. This shows that in either case heavy losses result from applying heavy Irrigations to the lighter soils on the Umatilla project. Freqaenc7 Han Kffeet on Crop. TNb frequency of applying water has a marked Influence upon crop yields. An area of alfalfa that received 4.4 feet of water In eight applications yielded four tons of hay per acre, or 0.92 ton per acre-foot of water used. Another plat that received 6.3 acre feet, applied in 12 irrigations, yielded 5.3 tons per acre, or 1.01 tons per acre-foot of water. The results ob tained by applying water at this rate were better than when heavier appli cations of water, such as 9.7 acre-feet applied in 24 Irrigations were em ployed. The excess of water and the additional labor were not justified by the slight 'ncrcase in yield resulting from the heavier applications of water. The careful Irrigator who has his dis tribution system, furrows, head ditches, and time properly arranged to enable him to apply Just the quantity re quired to fill the soil to the depth of root penetration, gets a maximum benefit from the water. On the other hand, the irrigator who uses more water at a time than his soil is capable of holding loses, by deep percolation, all of it that is not held within the root zone of his crop, and furthermore, he may damage adjacent land by con tributing to the underground seepage. other nearby cities, met Grand Exalted Ruler Nicholson.
