VOL. XXVII Both Subjects Afford Material fora Most Interesting Inter- view. MEMBER FROM THE SECOND DISTRICT HAS THE FLOOR. Magnitude and gation Uncertainty of Experimental Irri Work—Cost Is Not Understood by the Public —Reservoir a Mile Long May Be Built at Echo. Congressman J. N. Williamson was at the depot this morning await ing for a train to take him to The Dalles. In fact, he has been waiting for some time, but the train has fail ed to put in an appearance, so the gentleman came out to attempt to flag a freight and get out of ihe city, but in that was also unsuccessful. While he was standing by the ice house across the street, thoughtful ly whittling a stick, he was asked what he thought of the problem that had brought him to the city. “Mr. Williamson, what do you think of this irrigation scheme, any- way? I have aske«i Mr. Whistler and all of the rest of them, and they will not tell me anything about it, so now I would like »o have you tell me how they are going to do the thing, and when we are going to have tbe water on the land. "Well, young man," said the man from Washington, as he artistically pointed his toothpick, “the more 1 see of the situation the more I am inclined to believe that it will be some time before the water flows. I myself had no idea of the immensity of the task until I spent some days with the engineers in riding over the ¡and. It is a task of great magni rude, and one that will require time for its development. "Now take the Echo proposition.” and the speaker traced lines in the Take that sawdust with a stick, proposition down there, and you see how big a thing It Is There is the river, and 30 miles below is tne place where the reservoir can be put in if the conditions are all right and good. As you come to the place there is nothing to tell you that it is a site for a reservoir, for it is rigui in the prairie. It will be a big receptacle a mile long and covering several sec tions of ground, and with dyke walls 60 feet high in some of the parts, and will hold all of the flood water of the Umatilla river that is carried down tn the winter season. It must be so tight that it will ho«a it al! the year. If it is done, it will water 30.000 acres ot land: but look at the cost. “The irriration of this country has resolveu iiseii into the storage of the waste or f *od of the winter season and for thit purpose reservoirs must be built large and strong enough to hold all of the water that comes down in the winter time. And canals must be bui’t that will carry all of this water U> the place of storage. So you car see the magnitude of the scheme and the responsibility upon the men who are investigating the problem. "Pardon me for suggesting it, but I think that it is the duty of the pa- pers to educate the people as to the vastress of the work, and the cost of it. The question that is now con fronting the engineers is whether or not the land to be benefited will jus tify the expense. In other words, will the land that is watered be able to throw off the burden of the cost of the work, or will the debt impov ertsh the land? Every foot of the reservoir site will have to be test- ed. The men will have to bore down in order to And whether or not there is a foundation for the wails, and then all of the bottom will have to be examined and the nature of the bedrock determined, so that the builders will know that the work will hold water after It is built “The people, therefore, should know how big an undertaking it is. and should be taught that it w.Il take time for its consummation. Too many of them are Ignorant as to what has to go before the construc tion. and think that all the govern ment has to do is to spend a couple of millions and the country will bloom like the rose. They think that jt is possible for the government to stretch out its hand one night and the water will flow in the morning. But this is a great mistake, for it is slow work and careful.” Tbe congressman sat down in the sun and chewed on his sliver for a minute, and then looked out of the corner of his eye sadly. "Did you read the Sunday Oregonian?" he asked. No. the reporter had not read it. He read the Portland Journal when he couldn’t get the news straight from the fountain head. “Well,” said Mr. Williamson, haven't read it, either. But I hear that it says strange things I hear that it says that the united Oregon delegation has been turned down. I must get a paper and see where we are at, for I do not seem to know.” “What is the matter with you fel lows? me Journal says that the Si mon men wear smites of unholy joy. Is Davis a Simon man? The Journal also says that Mitchell concedes that the president has the power of ap pointment, and that the delegation can only suggest.” “1 guess that is right, for he seems to have appointed. But It Is a prece dent. I believe. At least, I do not remember when the united recom mendation of a delegation was ever before Ignored. As far as the per sonnel of the two men are concern ed, they are both good men, out neither Hitchcock nor the president knows one from the other, Davis is not a Simon man. He has always been a friend of ours, but I don’t know bow he feels toward us now. Tne fact of the matter Is. that Hitch cock Is at outs with all of the West ern men and could not rest until he got a chance to get square in the way of the Oregon delegation, and I guess he did it. “This thing of the delegations be ing asked by the administration for recommendations for federal ap pointments is a continual source of annoyance to the men in the nation al legislature, and I wish it was not the custom. But it is strange to ig nore the recommendations of a unit ed delegation when it has been asked for. It is a precedent, and Hitchcock is the man behind the gun. But I guess I will go and get a Sunday Oregonian and a Journal, and read just what has happened to us. I guess I won't miss the train if I go down for a minute. It would be too bad to miss it. The trains here are too rare to miss.” and the congress man went after a paper by which to locate himself in the whirl of the political pot. NEW SYSTEM IS BEING RAPIDLY PERFECTED.

Aug. 31.—The steamer New Zealand arrived this morning from Antwerp, She w as in dally com- munication by the wireless from the time she left the English channel until she reached Sandy Hoo». This is the most distinctive tri umph of the wireless system up to this date, several problems being ap- ;>arently solved and obstacles over- : ome. The most decided progress in dicated was in the indifference shown by the operations of the system to the varying changes of weather. The Antwerp encountered the most vari able weather, from perfectly cloud less. clear and warm to heavy fogs and. off the Newfoundland banks a flurry of snow, followed oy !>*avy rains, At no time was the communi- cat on interrupted and every dis- patch has been verified by cable The system used is the one be- lieved to afford absolute secrecy, or apparent impossibility of "picking It is done by pitching the re- off. ceiving and transmitting appara'us upon exactly the same key. with mathematical precis.on.

Intention of the Department is Dispose of the »00 Claims Now File Inside of Three Months. Grand Nephew of Senator Hawley Drowned—The Collieion Took Place in a Dense Mist That Was Soon Dissipated. Portland, Me., Aug. 31—Claims aggregating hundreds of thousands of dollars will be presented against the government us a result of the combined maneuvers on account of damage to truck farms and windows broken by cannonading. The claims, moreover, will not be confined to those of this character It is averred that Jonathan HUH- goss. who was recently discharged from the insane asylum as cured, has been driven insane again by the noise and excitement. Hilliguss owned a small cabin near which a shell exploded The direct damage done was inconsiderable, but Hilli- goss being in a nervous, convalescent state, was very unfavorably affected by the noise, which was an entirely novel experience for him. He hid in his cottage, crouched under his bed. from the beginning of the maneuvers until neighbors, alarmed at his pro tracted absence, searched and found him the day before the maneuvers ended. His condition is pitiable. He has every appearance ar.d the act Ions of a man terrified nearly to death. The government officials profess to believe that the pecuniary dam age. mostly to truck farms ar.d win dows. will hardly exceed $15.000, and will recommend remuneration amounting to about that figure, if they adhere to expressions made be fore the sailing of tbe fleet The maneuvers are by no means popular with the populace, who re fuse to be placated by representa tions that the whole affair is design ed to settle the problems of offensive and defensive war which this neigh borhood offers on account of its prox imity to the lines of attack that would probably be followed in the 1 event of a war with England, They say the contingency is too remote to be weighed BESET THEPBRTE Macedonians Receiving Mu Crown Sheet on Freight En nitions of War From Odessa gine No. 304 Explodes With Via Austria.
