APPROVEJROJECTS Hilciicock Will Reverse Himself on Irrigation. TO THE BENEFIT OF NORTHWEST Had Taken Bad Advice Walcott Re moves Objections to Umatilla, Okanogan and Sunnyslde. Washington, Nov. 18. Secretary Hitchcock ia preparing to roverse him self and npprovo the Umatilla irriga tion project in Eastern Oregon, as well as one or more projects in Washing ton. This, at leaat, is the inference to be drawn from an authorized state ment made at his ofllco today to the effect that action on the Umatilla pro ject would be taken Bome time next week which would be satisfactory to the people of Oregon, and that similar action was to be looked ior on one or more Washington projects. It is not known at this time what Washington projects will bo approved, further than that the choice will lie among tho Tie ton, Okanogan and Sunnyside schemes, all of which have been favorably re commended by tho Reclamation service. This announcement from the secre tary's office was made after a confer ence between Mr. Hitchcock and Di rector Walcott, of the Geological sur vey, who is the intermediary between the secretary and the Reclamation ser vice. This afternoon Mr. Walcott re turned to the secretary all papers bear ing on the Umatilla, Okanogan and Tieton projects and, in addition to the original recommendations, submitted unanswerable arguments showing that all these projects are not only feasible and desirable, but that there is no feat ure about them to which objection can be legitimately raised. In point of fact, Mr. Hitchcock, shortly after taking adverse action on the Umatilla, Tieton and Okanogan projects, saw that he had acted on bad advice, and realized that his position would become untenable. He saw that he had made a blunder which would have to be rectified, and he has cau tiously been feeling his way back to solid ground. He is not yet ready to make the final leap, but is preparing for it and, when he does, Oregon and Washington will benefit. Incidentally it might be mentioned that the men who gave the secretary bad counsel have heard from it, and have been warned to display more intelligence and common sense in future ONLY AMERICANS AS CONSULS'. Root Will Not Appoint Foreigners if He Can Help It. Washington, Nov. 18. Not a single foreigner has been anpointed to the American consular service abroad since Secretary Root assumed office. He feels that it is his duty to "put none but Americans on guard." Aside from the fact that a foreigner naturally might be expected to take less interest than an American in the development of our trade abroad, it is felt that in time of political stress, wherein rela tions might become strained, no such test should be placed upon the loyalty of a foreign consular agent to his na tive country as would be imposed by requiring him to do his full duty to the country which merely employed him. So, although a number of vacancies have occurred in these posts since Sec retary Root assumed office, he has held consistently to the policy above laid down, and where it has not been possi ble to find Americans to fill the vacan cies, the offices have been allowed to remain vacant. Of course, the vacan cies cannot continue indefinitely, but the secretary hopes that, with the pressure of the business world behind it, congress will yield to his appeal for more liberal compensation for these small posts, so as to enable him to send out American officials. Ballot Reform in New York. New York, Nov. 18. At a confer ence yesterday between representatives of organizations interested in ballot re form, a resolution was adopted declar ing that ballot reform in New York should proceed on the lines of the Aus tralian ballot as in use in Massachu setts. As the representative of the Corrupt Practices association, D. Cady Herrick asked the support of the con ferees for a bill which his organization intends to preeent to the legislature and which he eaid would be drawn so as to do away with election corruption. Peasants Sack an Estate. Kursk, Russia, Nov. 18. Agrarian disorders are increasing. The estate of Prince Kassalkine Rostkoftsky, in the Novoskol district, has been sacked by peasants, who attacked and wounded the prince and princess. Several build ings were burned and cattle and horses driven off. The police commiBeary has Bent an urge it appeal to the govern ment for regular. troops to aid the Cos sacks, who are powerless to cope with the disorders. Pan International Parliament. Paris, Nov. 18. Representatives of the parliaments of the principal na tions will assemble hero November 18 to consider the American appeal for a permanent international parliament and a general arbitration treaty, as presented at the Brussels parliamentary conerw by Congressman Richard Bar ttieldt, of Missouri, who represented tbe UniUd States at the congress. CASTRO REPUSES TO PAY MORE Keeps Back Second Installment on Plumley Award. Paris, Nov. 17 The foreign office is advised that President CaBtro yesterday refused to pay the second installment of the Plumloy arbitration award. The arbitration covered damages sustained by Fronch citizens in Venezuela during the revolutionary periods prior to 1003. Judge Frank Plumloy, of Northfield, Vermont, was president of the arbitra tion committee, which mot at North field last year. Tho judgment was in favor of France, which was awarded about $050,000, and President Castro paid the first installment of tho award throe months ago. The second pay ment was due yesterday, but wbb not paid. Apparently the Venezuelan Presi dent's failure to pay the installment was on tho cround that dinlnmatin r- lationa between France and Venezuela aro interrupted. The officials hero do cline to admit that this justified Presi dent Castro in not paying the install ment. Tho incident is considered to be a further provocation. OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST CZAR HELPS PEASANTS. Remits Millions Due on Lands and Makes Purchase Easy. London, Nov. 17. A dispatch from St. Petersburg to Router's Telegram agency Bays that an imperial manifesto granting land concessions to the peas ants was issued this morning. By its terms the land redemption tax pay ments irom January 14, 1900, will bo reduced by one-half, and from January 14, 1907, the payments will be totally abolished. At the same time the capital of the Peasant bank is increased and the bank is granted additional loan privileges with the object of facilitating to tho utmost tho purchase of lands by peas ants. It is estimated that the amount of taxation thus lifted from the peasants by the manifesto will aggregate $40, 000,000, while the extension of the field of operations of the Peasants' bank will enable vast tracts of crown and private lands gradually to become the property of the peasants. PRETENDER LEADS PEASANTS. Army of 50,000 Supports Usurper's Claim to Czardom. 8t. Petersburg, Nov. 17. A false emperor has suddenly made his appear ance near Penza', and already his fol lowers number 50,000. This is the startling report received this afternoon in a dispatch from Sim brisk. Penza is in the heart of the vast region extend ing westward from the Volga, where agrarian uprisings on a large settle have occurred, and if the report turns out to be true that tho pretender to the throne has placed himself at the head of the peasantry, the government will soon face, besides its other troubles, a form idable agrarian rebellion. It required a year to suppress the famous rebellion led by Pugaticheff, who impersonated the dethroned and murdered Peter III in the time of Catherine II. That up rising was started in .the same region on the banks of the Volga. STORM CLOUD IN AFRICA. Germany Protests Aeainst an Anglo French Agreement in Liberia. Washington, Nov. 17. The State de partment has learned that Germany has protested to Great Britain and France against the conclusion of certain negotiations now on foot between those two governments, and the government of Liberia. Liberia wished to borrow some money and is willing to hypothe cate certain territory as security. Ger many sees in this proposition a threat of undue expansion of British and French influence in that quarter of Africa. The State department has not felt called upon so far to take any ac tion in this matter, and in fact regards the communication merely as information. Anarchy at Vladivostok. St. Petersburg, Nov. 17. The latest reports from Vladivostok indicate that the riotint? has not vet been suppressed. Both sailors and fortress artillerymen particapated in the outbreak. The commandant lost his head, the situa tion got beyond control, and energetic measures were not taken until a laree part of the city had been destroyed. The population is still seeking refuge on the vessels in tno narbor. Accora int? to one report from Vladivostok. 300 rioters, mostly sailors and artillerymen, were killed or wounueu. Battleship Idaho Not Ready. Washington, Nov. 17. The Navy epartment has not been advised by tho Cramp Shipbuilding company that any date has been set for launching the bat tleship Idaho, although Senator Hey burn has been informed that it will take place December 0. The Idaho is only 40 per cent completed. It is unusual to launch ships in that early stage, and it seems improbable that tho launching would be fixed for a date so near with out notifying tho Navy department. Standard Oil's Big Dividend. New York, Nov. 17, The Standard Oil company has declared a quarterly dividend of $10 a share. The previous dividend was $0 a share and the divi dend at this time last year was $7 a share. Today's declaration brings the total dividends focr the year to $40 a share. Last year it was $30, PORTAGE ROAD WILL PAY. Low Water In River Has Interfered With Its Traffic. Salem 'That the Portage railway will be self sustaining when regular traffic has been established, there is no doubt," said Superintendent L. S. Cook, of the Celilo Portago railway, when in 8alem to attend a mooting of the Portago commission. "For various reasons we have not been getting the business wo should have had at the start, but present difficulties will be ro movod and avoided in tho future. "Low wator has mado it impossible for the boatB on tho upper river to take on wheat at somo places to bring it down to Celilo. For example, at Quentin thero was 12,000 Backs of wheat piled up on the shore, but the water was so low the boatB could not get near enough to load. Some 150,000 sacks of grain along tho Upper Colum bia have been shipped out by rail, when under normal conditions of wator, it would havo como down by boat and the portage road. "I cannot, givo exact figures at pres ent concerning tho oxpendituro and in como, because wo havo not mado settle ments with transportation companies when the charges aro collected by ono line and tho amount apportioned. In round numbers I should say that it costs us $800 a month to operate tho road and our income is about $600 a month. If we wore gotting all tho traffic that is available and naturally tributary to tho portage road, we would have an income of $1,200 a month and an expense of perhaps $1,000. Wo have handled 10,000 to 15,000 sacks of wheat this month, whereas wo would havo handled much more if the boats could havo reached it." WANT WATER FOR CANAL. Deschutes Irrigation 8c Power Com pany Files on Water Rights. Salem The Deschutes Irrigation & Power company has made two water filings to eecuro new sources of water supply for ita extensive irrigation sys tern near Bend. The present source of supply is about two miles abovo tho town of Bend, hut it is understood that the land upon which tho headgato is located is owned or controlled by A. M Drake. The Deschutes conpany haB now made a filing for 1,000 cubic feet of water per second about three miles further up the stream. The filing is ior the purpose of securing water for the Central Oregon canal. The other filing is for 1,500 cubic inches per second at a point about 10 miles above Bend, at Bebam falls. The filing is for the purpose of securing water for the Benham falls canal, which will ex tend eastward and northward a distanco of 30 to 40 miles, bringing the water to Prineville and irrigating large areas of land north of the canal. The Portland Irrigation company, represented by Edwin Mays, of Port land, has filed on 15,000 inches of water in Chewaucan creek, Lake coun ty, the point of diversion being in sec tion 34, township 33 south, range 18 cast. Fruit Drier Closes. Down. Freewater J. P. McMinn, proprie tor of the large fruit drier north of Freewater, haB closed for the season, after a very short run, owing to the scacrity of prunes and the active de mand and high price paid for the green fruit, 75,000 pounds being the output this year as compared wltn zuu,uuu pounds last year. Heretofore he has shipped his prunes east, disposing of the same in tno large cities at prices from 3, to 3 cents a pound. He has sold half of this year's output at o cents a pound to Pendleton and Walla Walla merchants. Sandlake May Talk. Oloverdale The Clbverdale Tele phone company this week completed ten miles of new telephone lino to Sandlake. The company has also late lv cnmnlnfpd Hn linn to Dolnh. This gives Tillamook City telephone connec- ... . 1 if tion with every voting precinct in tne south part of the county. There is hardly a farm houBe from Tillamook to Slab creek that lias not telepliono Jcon nonUnn nnd It in hnned next vear will see the system extended to the valloy by way of Willamina. Tho system now embraces over GO miles of wire. Work on Coquille Bar. , Bandon Work on the north jetty at Coquille bar is now fairly under way, andjwill be completed probably within a year. This is part of the improve ments along the Coquille river, for which tho government recently appro priated $55,000. The jetty will bo ex tended 555 feet seaward. Contractors Wakefield & Jacobsen, of Portland, havo the task in hand, and extensive work had to bo done before the actual vork of building tho extension was started. Winter Irrigation a Success. Milton W. T. Shaw, tho well known Hudson bay rancher, was in the city recently and reports that irrigation on the line of the Hudson Bay ditch is increasing. This ditch uses the sur plus water of the Walla Walla river, and as a result it can only irrigate when the ordinary irrigation season ends, Car Shortage Felt, f Freewater Owing to tho scarcity of cars on this division the Peacock and Eagle mills are working at a great dis advantage on account of storage capaci ty being blocked with millstuffs ready to ship. Manager J. H, Hall advises he has 20 cars of flour and feed ready to wove and can get but one car a day, NEED NOT VACOINATE. Children Cannot Bo Forced to Take . Precautionary Measures. Rnlnm Tn Annwer to an lnmiirv from Stato Health Officer Robert O. Yonnoy, of Portland, Attorney Gonoral Craw ford has rendered a decision holding that tho Stato Board of Health bas no authority to rcquiro that children shall bo vaccinated boforo gaining admission to tho publio schools. Tho attornoy general quotes irom tno a.x oi online tho hoard of health, show ing that tho board has gonoral Bupor- vision of the health ol tno siaio anu power to establish quarantines. Tho vaccination rulo would not bo In tho naturo of a quaantino; honco tho board cannot find its authority in that provision. Neither does Mr. Crawford think tho clauso giving tho board gonoral super vision will authorize them to establish a new qualification foradmipsion to tho publio schools unloss thero is apparent danger of an epidemic of smallpox. AIDS THE CATALOGUE HOUSES. Baker City Merchants Protest Against Numbering of Rural Boxes. Bakor Citv Tho merchants of Baker City aro circulating a potition asking the postmaster general to withdraw his order to tho effect that all rural mall boxes must be numbered in consecutlvo order. In thh work thoy have asked tho aid of all tho merchants from BoIbo to Spokane, and petltionB havo been sent to theso towns for circulation. Tho merchants allego that tho num bering of the mail boxes on tho rural free doliverv routes would givo the cat- aloguo houses in tho largo cities like New York, Chicago and St. LouIb a great advantage, as these big concerns would be enabled to send out tlioir cat alodues and other literature to overy patron along every rural free delivery routo without knowing the names of the parties, as tho literature could bo addressed to Box 24, or any number, and reach its destination. Start Free Library. Baker City Baker City now has a free public li orary, the council having ratified the appointment of the library commission as named by Mayor O. A Johns. A special library tax will be voted on tho tho next June olection, and in the meantime Andrew Carnegie will bo asked to renew tho offer ol $1,000 made about a year ago for tho establishment of a library in this city. The present library was instituted by a private library association and con ducted for the benefit of tho public at a small membership fee. O. R. & N. Block System. La Grande Tho construction gang at work erecting the block system on the mountain division of the O. R. & N., has almost completed ita labors for the winter. The system is installed well along tho line between Meacham and Bingham Springs, and when the crew reaches the latter place work will be suspended this season, although it is likely that it will bo extended on as far as Umatilla, at least by another year.

IRRIGATION MUDDLE. Oregon and Washington Suffer From "Too Many Cooks." Washington, Nov. 15. "The Mal heur irrigation project in Eastern Ore gon is reeking with graft," said a high official of tho Interior department to day, "and until this graft has been eliminated tho government will not adopt and build tho project which the Reclamation service has prepared. The government does not propose to be held up." This statement was made by an offi cial vory closo to Socrotary Illtohcock, and ho, apparently, knows whereof he speaks, for ho but recently returned from Mainour county, whore he made careful investigation into tho ontlro ir rigation situation, and found such con ditions as warranted him in recom mending ngalnBt tho immediate con struction of that project. It is his candid opinion that tho timo is romoto when tho government will undortako tho construction of tho Malheur project; indeed, he has doubts whether that projoct will over bo built by govern ment aid. Thero is no just reason why tho Umatilla project should bo delayed ono day. It has boon demonstrated that thero is money availablo; the technical objection is trivial and ought to bo waivod. Tho Maxwell company mere ly asks to retain 300 acres, with wator right, but Mr. Hitchcock rules that, under tho law, this company can havo but 100 acres, with wator right, over looking tho fact that tho threo members of tho Maxwell company, should thoy nick 4 entry individually, could each hold 100 acres, or 480 acroa in all, with water rights attached. . Tho samo thing is truo of the aunny- sido project in tho Yakima valloy, In Washington. Tho Bunnysldo canal ownors aro willing to sell out for $1, 500,000, but they nak to rotain moro than 100 acres of tho land they now own, with wator right attached, and tho secretary is unwilling to grant thorn this privilege So ho holds up that project, which in the opinion of tho re clnmation engineers is vory attractive and can bo acquired to advantage at this time. Represontativo Jones, through his secretory, today made inquiry as to why Mr. Hitchcock refused to approve the Tietan and Okanogan projects, and found, as previously stated, that both were sidetracked "becauso tlioro is no money." Neany a year ago Mr. Hich cock allotted $2,800,000 for the con struction of the Palouso project, but tho reclamation engineers recommended indefinite postponement of this under taking, and it has been temporarily abandoned because of oxcossivo cost. It has been decided to withdraw tills allotment, which contains enough money to build tho Tietan and Okanog an projects, and purcbaso tho -Sunny Bide canal as well, yet tho department still cries "no money." There is much quibbling among officials over tho exact status of irrigation projects in Dregon and Washington, but the situation is as represented : There is money enough in both Btates for immediate work, but Mr. Hitchcock refuses to authorizo its expenditure.
