"We're through with following the

vestlgator from the Paris Figaro the
J other day.
"Hereafter we are going to set

you know, because when we are in

Life is so short. Well, you can't trot

Bert Anderson, representing the
state fish, commission, briefly out
lined the work of the commission
and urged the destruction of the old
Ament dam, down the river from the
new project, as it hindered the fish
from going up stream to spawn. He
finished with the remark that he
was present to dedicate the new fish

tribes of Rogue river.
Representing the Anglo-London-Paris
bank of San Francisco. J. W.
Harrison, vice-president of that in
stitution, spoke briefly. The basis of
his talk was of the benefits to be
obtained from irrigation. He quoted
figures from California projects for
the past 20 years, showing the rise In
land values, increases in production
and population under irrigation.

10.000 Acres la Project.
Laterals and canals totaling 42 miles
in length are necessary to irrigate the
Grants Pass irrigation district, which
ultimately will water 14.000 acres.
Pipelines l.T miles In length supply
water to two of the canals.
To date the project has cost $1,190.
000. while additional costs of $200,000
will bring the total expenditure up to
,1,390,000.
Two canals at present will carry
water from the dam. One, the South
Highline canal, has a capacity of 10
second-feet. This line extends from
the south end of the dam. The other,
or Tokay canal, will have a flow of
40 second-feet and is also connected
with the dam by a pipeline. It is for
these two canals the gigantic pumps
were Installed The third canal, not
yet constructed, is of the gravity type
and the water will flow Into it direct
from the dam. It will have a capacity
of 100 second-feet, giving a total of
210 second-feet from the three canals.
Great Dam Described.
The Savage Rapids dam Is located
six miles east of Grants Pass on the
Rogue rit'er. crossing the Josephine
Jackson county line. The main line
of the Southern Pacific extends along
the north end. while the Pacifrc high
way passes by the south. It is a com
bination multiple-arch and gravity

structed for irrigation purposes. The
length of the dam proper is 400 feet,
while the totsl length of the struc
ture Is 4l feet. Its height is 24 feet
above the down-stream pavement,
though this can be Increased ten feet

DAM OPENS NEW ERA FOR
JOSEPHINE COUNTY PEOPLE

Project Sixteen Thousand Acres to Be Watered.
BY ADDISON BEXXETT.
GRANTS PASS, Or., Nov. 6. (Spe
cial.) When dainty little Althea
Smith touched the button . that
electrically loosed the gates in the
great dam in the Rogue river canyon
at 2:13 this afternoon, the touch at
the same time exploded a great bomb,
the intonations of which reverberated
and re-echoed from hilltop to hill
top, proclaiming that the fight of a
quarter of a century for an adequate
supply of water on 16.000 acres of
Josephine county's splendid lands
had been won. It seemed to me
as It probably did to many of the
2000 or more people assembled there,
that the explosion proclaimed to one
and all the dawn of a new era for
the people of Josephine county.
From Ashland, Medford and Gold
Hill on the south; from Merlin, Ice
land, Glendale.and Roseburg on the
north, and from Kerbyville and the
entire Illinois valley on the west, as
well as hundreds from Grants Pass
and the farmsteads near and far. the
people had poured in from early
morning.
Haxe Envelops Valleys.
A Blight fog and haze enveloped the
canyons and valleys, but at noon Old
Sol came out in all his glory, as if to
take part in loosening the shackles
that for so long bad tied up to a
great degree the increase due the hus
bandmen who own the wonderful
lands that henceforth may be watered
at will by the owners.
Across the main street in Grants
Pass, John Hampshire has erected a
great electric sign, reading as fol
tual horsepower, which is transmit
ted, by direct connection to the
pumping machinery. It requires 660
cubic feet of water a second to oper
ate both turbines. The power and
pumping machinery is a new design,
this being the first installation of the
new hydraucone turbine and direct
connected pumping equipment.
Gate Coatrol Vnlque.
Other unique features are the gate
control, requiring an entirely new
system In hydraulic machinery, and a
fish ladder of the latest type, built
with the approval of the state fish
commission. The ladder extends from
the river side of the tailrace below
the power-house to the reservoir
above. The difference in elevation of
28 to 32 feet is attained by a series of
28 pools, ten feet in length and hav
ing a Jump of 1.1 feet between each.
Construction work was b&frun In
July. 1920. and completed late last
month, with K. J. Carrlllo of Los
Anseles, superintendent in charge.
All work was under the supervision of

that means that It Is the wonderful

that grapes, apples, pears and other

fruits to perfection and profusion.

WASHINGTON, D. c. Nov. i (Spe
cial.) The assassination of the pre
mier will not have the slightest effect
on the progress and prospects of the
arras conference so far as Japan and
her participation In It are- concerned.
That Is the view of members of the
Japanese delegation here.
The reason is simple. Japanese
participation in the world's confer
ence is In no sense the exclusive as
piration or enterprise of the present
cabinet. It does not belong to the
Japanese government solely. ' It is
backed solidly by the enthusiasm and
the peace hunger of the entire people
of Japan.
Viscount Takaklra Kats, our for
mer ambassador to the court of St.
James and foreign minister under
Okuma, was perhaps the strongest
political enemy of Premier Hara. He
la the leader of the opposition party,
the kensel. Naturally the viscount
did not find too many things on
which he agreed with Premier Hara,
but on this question of the Washing
ton conference and the active and
hearty co-operation of Japan with
the United States In bringing about
a limitation or reduction of arma
ments, he supported Premier Hara
with all his might.
America Fully Trusted.
At the time when the American in
vitation to the conference fell upon
Japan with th.e suddenness of a dawn
at midnight, and both the govern
ment and the people of Japan did not
seem quite sure whether the United
States were a friend or a foe, the vis
count voiced his faith in the friendly
fairness of America even more em
phatically than did Premier Hara. He
urged wholehearted participation by
Japan In it. and added:
"All Japan has to do at tha confer
ence Is to present her case openly
and candidly. America Is not a na
tion which would refuse to withdraw
from a position once she Is met with
crguments based on justice."
And what Is true witn tne leader oi
the opposition Is true with practically
all hla political followers. And that.
In turn, means there was no opposi
tion of any moment in the ranks of
the political parties over Japanese
participation In the conference.
Popular Interest Strong.
The popular Interest of the people
of Japan in the conference has been
waxing in strength and proportions
like a snowball journeying down a
hillside. It is not far behind the
popular agitation in ' the United
States. Business circles, student bod.
ies of all 'sorts, various religious so--
cietles are all following the cheer
leaders for the conference.
Actually the famous "seven learned
doctors," including such men as Dr.
Soyeda and Dr. Tomisu, are forgetting
their old age in their feverish activ
ities to arouse a strong popular sen
timent for the conference. For these
are the same old learned men who
had much to do in arousing Japanese
sentiment at the time of the Russian
war.
All of which points to one emphatic
fact that the people of Japan, not a
group of men at the head of the gov-
einuicni ui i . u v
but all Japan, is heart and soul with
the conference here In Washington.
And the tragedy which is darken-
ing the capital city of Tokio and
shocking the civilized world today
will not have the sjightest effect as
far as the Japanese activities in the
conference are concerned.
Prince Perhaps Successor.
There has been a repeated and per
sistent rumor in political circles of
Toklo that Prince legato Tokugawa,
who is here now as one of the dele
gates to the Washington conference,
is stated as successor to Hara. The
rumor Is of long standing and had a
wide currency long before the arms
conference was thought of. The To-
