PREMIER ISSUES APPEAL
Disturbances In Petrograd Instigat
ed by German Agents, Declares
Kerensky, In Plea to Stand
by tlie Revolution.
PETROGRAD. July 21. Lieutenant-
General L. O. Kornlloff. commander of
the Eighth Russian Army, which re
cently advanced successfully on the
Halicza-Stanislau line,, in Gallcia. has
been appointed commander-in-chief of
the Russian armies on the Southwestern
iinnu iiu bucccvus utaiiQiui uvuwii
who was appointed to the command
early In June. .
The recent disturbances In Petrograd
were instigated by agents of the Ger
man government, said Premier Keren-
sky, in a message to the sailors at Re-
val, Helsingfors and other ports. The
new premier appeals to all democrats
to stand by the provisional government.
lils message reads:
"It has been established without
doubt that the disturbances in Petro
grad were organized by agents of the
German government. The disturbances
now have been suppressed completely,
and the arrest of the leaders and those
guilty of the blood of their brothers
find crimes against the government and
the revolution is proceeding. Arrests
clso are being made among the sailors
who acted contrary to their civic and
military duties.
Appeal Made to Democracy.
"I appeal to all true sons of democ
racy to rally around the provisional
government and the democratic organ
izations throughout Russia to save the
country and the revolution from the
enemy without and his allies within.
Premier Kerensky addressed an or
der of the day to the army and navy,
directing:
First, the dissolution of the central
committee of the Baltic, and the elec
tion of a new committee.
Second, the issue of a notification
to all detachments of the ships of-the
Baltic fleet that "I desire them to re
move at once all persons suspected of
inciting to insubordination against the
' provisional governmenc and against our
offensive, and to send these individuals
to Petrograd for trial.
Third, detachments of Kronstadt
and of the battleships Tetropavlovsk,
Itemblic and Slava. the names of
which have been disgraced by the ac
tions of counter revolutionists, shall
errest within 24 hours the ringleaders
and send them to Petrograd for trial.
thus giving assurance of complete loy
alty to the provisional government.
Dmstic Measures Asked.
"I hereby notify the Kronstadt de
tachments and crews of these ships.
the order continues, "that if this order
. Is not carried out they will be branded
ea traitors to the country and revolu
tion and that most vigorous measures
win De tanen against tnem.
"Comrades, the country has been
brought to the brink of a precipice by
treason. Ine Uerman armies and ar-
' tillery have taken the offensive on our
front. At any moment a decisive ac
tion may be forced by the enemy'
fleet, which may try to profit by the
confusion of the moment. Drastic
measures are necessary onco for all to
put an end to this confusion. The
Army has already done something in
law suit.
Library Notes.
A NYONE interested In modern Rus-
A slan musicians will find two very
readable biographies of Glinka and
Moussorgsky at the Public Librarv.
Kach book gives a short sketch of the
life of the composer, as it affected his
musical career, discusses his operas
and other productions, and at the end
lists his principal published works. The
author, M. Montague-Nathan, who has
also written a history of Russian mu
Bic. is a sympathetic interpreter of the
aspirations of these two moderns to
ward the goal of "truth, freedom and
progress" in their art, and endeavors
to show that they have put the very
com of Russia Into their music
There also has been added to the
Library "a practical method for self-
Instruction on the ukelele," by N. B.
Bailey, and an "operatic anthology"
of celebrated arias by old and modern
composers, for the tenor, edited by Max
Bpickler.

ONE MILLION ACRES OF ARABLE
LAND IN STATE CAN BE IRRIGATED
Experimental Work in Development
Branch Experiment Station
BY I R. BREITHAUPT. i
Superintendent Barney Branch Experiment
Station.
Central Oregon probably has one
million acres of arable land which
eventually will be brought under irri
gation from gravity systems. There is
also considerable land which may be
brought under Irrigation from wells.
In the working out of the problems,
with all which It entails, lies the big
gest problem in the development of this
region.
Many people are intensely interested
in the possibilities of irrigation
throughout Central Oregon and not
a little has been dona toward the de
velopment of a number of projects. The
work that has been done has been
mostly in the nature of surveys of
water resources, reservoir and distri
bution systems, coils and similar work.
Very little has been done In the way of
working out the problems that con
Iront the settler after he is on the
land with the water ready to use.
Questions Are to Be Answered.
It would seem that the first consid
eration In Installing an irrigation sys
tem after the cost of getting the wa
ter to the land was determined Is: Will
it pay? With a certain water cost,
applied to the land, what crops can be
grown that will make returns large
enough to make a profit? What is the
right amount of water to apply to each
of these crops? When and by what
method should the water be applied?
And in what sequence should these
crops follow each other for highest
returns per acre? It is obvious that
unless this Information is available to
the men who begin on the land at the
point where the engineers leave off,
the highest success is not going to at
tend the development of any project. It
- is equally obvious that the information

The concern was about to conclude
negotiations to supply the Federal Gov

A nile of straw used In stuffing the
collars was blazing furiously when the
firemen arrived. It Is thought that the
blaze started there. Sharp reports. In
dicating explosions, were heard while
the fire fighters were at work.
As far as known there was nothing
of an explosive nature on the premises
and these reports caused considerable
speculation.

should be had in advance. For the lack
oi it, larmers may xaii, and too many
farmers falling means more than farm
failures to the project and to the re
gion. The writer has felt that experimental
work in irrigation should be carried at
this branch station and has advocated
such at every opportunity for a num
ber of years. This was not to be a
change from the dry-farming investi
gations to irrigation, but the addition
of the irrigation work. Both irriga
tion and dry farming are of great im
portance here and the future for both
Immense. To this end it is now pos
sible to announce that experimental
work in irrigation looking to the solu
tion of the problems outlined above has
been initiated here and is now in prog
ress. Well TJaed tor Irrigation.
Water is being applied to an 11-acre
tract which is subdivided into plats to
permit a large amount of work cov
ering the testing of crops and crop
varieties, crop rotations, duty of water,
time and methods of application, effect
of fertilizers and other propositions
that go with such Investigations. Wa
ter is obtained from a deep well by
means of a No. 4 centrifugal pump and
eight-horsepower engine. The water is
semi-artesian, rising to within five
feet of the surface but still requiring
considerable power on account of the
drawdown when the pump Is working.
At present the flow Is slightly more
than 300 gallons per minute, with no
ticeable improvement as pumping con
tinues. The water cost will, of course,
be high in comparison with most grav
ity Bystems. This, however, will not
lessen the value of the Investigation In
showing what are the cropping possi
bilities under irrigation from gravity
systems and will have the added value
of working out the feasibility of irri
gating from wUa.
