Aug. 11 To quots a : famous paragraph that bear oirecuy .'on the Klamath Irrigation project: -:i .The need la for man." - ' f ' Here la a vaat reclamation schema, Mwell under way. to make productive ISO.OOO acre of land now useless. Of that area there wilt be - 1I.00O - acres , ready for the plow of the Irrigator nest spring. The maximum amount any one can take under the law Is 10 acres. The . ' average farm- will not exceed I acre. 'It ta apparent that a large number of actual farmers must shortly appear on the (round and begin preparatory work if the Klamath Irrigation project Is to . bo launched with a -reasonable degree ;- of financial success. The engineers are constructing the canals and ditches and .have available an enormous supply of water. The greater taak of getting ; actual farmers on the land seems not to hare taken the form of a definite, ' .organised and - effective ' movement V necessary to people this vast area wlU . : families. .: : , .-., ? , Oreat progress Is being made with the .construction of the Irrigation system. - under the supervision of D. W. Murphy : of the government -engineers. - Condi- . tlons at the present time have the ap pearanoe of clean, able management, and - the project gives promise of being "carried through without scandal or ex- travaganee. The mala canal, which ; leads from the lower end of the upper Klamath, lake to a point la the desert nine miles east of the town of Klamath ' ' Falls, is being rapidly constructed. The : water Is carried from the upper lake - threugh a tunnel under a hill just north '-' of ' the - town. - This tunnel Is being rapidly constructed- -Tbe water- Is ear? rled from the upper lake through a ' tunnel under the hill Just north of the town.' ' This tunnel Is being driven from .: both' ends, and . also by - drifting from shafts' sunk along the light of way. The tunnel will - be completed during the coming winter. It will be 1.100 feet long. 1IH feet wide on the bottom and It feet 4 inches high with -an arched roof. Through It 'will flow a .volume of water 11 feet high. ' '',' The tunnel la now excavated about feet. Its cement lining will have I Map Showing Klamath Canal Project a minimum thickness of sight. Inches. Already 10.000 barrels of cement have been ordered ' and . these . " are being dragged over the Cascade mountains in freight wagons from the Pokegama rail road terminus to Keno.14 miles, snd transported by water to Klamath Falls, Of ths mala canal three miles la now completed and work on the remaining six miles Is rapidly progressing. There are HO teams and 100 men at work for the eon tractors. Mason. .Davis at -Co. of Portland. Engineer Murphy , has ' pur chased 100 horses and employed a force of men to construct the laterals. The nine-mile section of the main canal to be completed In next February will cover about 11.000 acres of first class agricultural land that Is now semi arid, excepting for one third of this area that la already susceptible of Irri gation from aa old project, known as the Ankeny canal, now owned by tbe government. A large part of the re mainder, is covered with sagebrush and still held In private ownership, although subscribed by the present owners to tbe government project and subject to sals under the formula . prescribed by the Irrigation law.- Each private owner la allowed to retain 160 acres. . Henust sell the rest of his holding or ulti mately submit, to having the - 'Water Users' association sell It at publlo sale. The Imperative need today la . the Klamath country Is actual farmer popu lation to buy the excess lands-and pre pare them for cropping next, year, '. Mason, Da via Co. are . under con tract ta complete their- nine miles of mala canal February 1. 1007. They will move an estimated bulk of 100,000 cubic yards of earth and ull 4,000 . eublo yards of masonry. Their contract amounts to about IJT7.000. The Inter national Contract company has the Job of erecting six highway bridges, to cost 17,000, over the main canal Ultimately there will be hundreds of miles of canals and ditches. ' - . ' JVew Somes foe? Taon seeds, Ths Klamath project Is going to pro vide new homes for 1,000 to (.000 farmers' families, a minimum of 1S.O00 people, and these will mean an equal number added to the urban population. An estimate of 10.000 people la very conservative In figuring the results In added population from this project Todav the excess lands caa no securea at prices ranging from $16 to 1109 per acre, depending on the proximity to market and other conditions. A. per petual water right from the government Is to be bought for til per acre la 10 annual Instalments without Interest. No public lands will be open for set- tlement,under the desert land -or home stead laws for several years, or until ths bulk of private lands sre disposed of.... In fact,. most of the publlo lands under trie project are at the present time covered - by the watera of the Klamath lakes and are to be reclaimed by the draining of these lakes. The draining of the lakes will be about the last thing on the program of the en gineers. Approximately 100,000 acres of tbe whole project la now the beds of Tule lake. Lower Klamath lake and the marginal swamps around . the latter. These acres will be tule Unas, the richest of all. : , ' Perpetual Water Transportation, Through this whole project, and ex tending from Klamath Falls to Tule lake, will run the channel of the Klam ath river, providing perpetually water transportation for the farmers. While the lakes will be lowered nearly II feet by the Irrigation plan, the present river channel will be dredged and deepened, forming a canal for navigation usee. At a point where the main canal forks Into two big main branches the north and south canals nine miles southeast of the town of Klamath Fails, the water will be dropped 16 feet developing 6.000 horsepower. Under a law recently passed - By - congress the reclamation service may develop water power-' and dispose of the same to cities or corpora tions, under certain restrictions as to use, maintenance and rates. . The Klam ath -engineers have thus far -only planned this power site. Its develop ment will follow In due course. Nothing has been done as to, Its final disposition or use. The needs of Irrigation always will bs paramount In the use of the water. 1 - , DELLHIGER AFTER C0LLECT0RSH1P ; Astoria Newspaper Man's Can. ' didacy May Spoil Plans -r-of Fulton.

It Is not considered unlikely by many Astorlans who have watched the contest that the chief executive may . take tbe bit In his teeth and make an appointment strictly to his own liking. As far as Senator Fulton is concerned, of course, the affair became a closed ' ' laoident when he forwarded the name - of Clark W.

In the present case, however, the man whom Senator Fulton has recommended has an unusually clean record and It ! bard to see where flaws could be picked at the national capital,, even were It so desired. Notwithstanding Mr. Carnaban's ex cellent standing, however, it Is believed that Mr. Delllngefa application, to gether with the petition and "exhibits" which accompanied it, will have a de cidedly bad effect on the candidacy of the man given the senator's preferment The petition Is said to contain the names of many, or In fact, a majority of the prominent Republicans of Clatsop county snd it is probable that some of the "exhibits" will come In for eon siderabls attention. Among these latter is a letter which Senator Fulton is al leged to have written to Mr. Delllnger la which the senator congratulates the editor on the success attained at the recent election In June and on ths part which Mr. Delllnger's paper, the Morn ing Astorlan,. took In ths campaign. This, aa well aa the whole tenor of the application, ta which the applicant ap parently aasumss that hla principal and only claim to the of floe lies In ths services hs performed for the party in general and for Senator Fulton la par ticular, might It is figured, convince the president that it was a case of "too much politics" and that political prefer ment was being given too much con sideration at the expense of ths charac ter, standing and general fitness of ths applicant i Friends of Senator Fulton profess to entertain no alarm over the. latest move In the Delllnger camp and declare that Senator Fulton was told by president Roosevelt personally that be would pay no attention to Mr. Delllnger's petition. The recommendation of the senator, they declare, will be final" with the preatdent ' Meanwhile the scrap goes merrily on, leaving the party badly split snd dis organised for ths coming municipal election this TalL The situation is not without Is ridiculous stds as welL "It was a ease of all hands get In and ' work," said a local party leader a few oays sftsr ths last election In explain ing why so large a Republican majority had been piled up for the county ticket. Now the public is bsing shown why so many were working. A number had cuatom-Aouse aspirations while many were working to boost their friends for the position, and It Is s sure guess that had the appointment been made before Instead of after the election the Re publican, ticket would never have won. All of the candidates. It appears, were "encouraged" and a few. even declare they were "promised," although they do not say by whom. It Is hinted that other candidates may forward "exhlblla" to Washington before tbe thing Is finished. Seventh OallfetsU District. -- (Joeraal SoecUl gervtetit Los Angeles, Cat, Aug. II.

Tbs state has been stirred from center to circum ference, snd everyone Is en sdge la an ticipation of ths fight at the polls next week. Hoke Smith Is fighting what he cells ths Ting snd railroad" domination ef ths Georgia democracy. But ths promi nent plank ef hla platform has for Its object, the disfranchisement of the ne groes. On ths subjject of disfranchise ment Smith says: "I favor, snd If elected wlU orgs with all tor power the elimination of the ne gro front politics ss the best possible solution of the race problem, for both whites snd blacks. Disfranchisement can be accomplished by legal and consti tutional methods, Just as It has been adopted In North Carol Ins, South Caro lina, Alabama, Mississippi. Louisiana sod Virginia, without disfranchises a Ingle white man. If elected, t would oppose with ell my power the enact ment of any legislation that would have the effect of dlsfrsnehtslng a, single white voter In Georgia." Howell's slogan In his fight sgalnat Smith Is Organised Democracy Againet Populism and Fusion.' Hs hss bid for ths straight-out Democratic vote against Smith, who is regarded as the candidate of the fusion element. Tom Watson, Populist candidate for president in 104, has openly announced his support to Hoks Smith for governor, snd has ad vised all populists In the stats to fol low his example. The close of ths campaign finds both sides apparently confident of the result. Both declare that they will carry the stats by sn overwhelming majority. -To an unbiased onlooker It appears to be a close contest. - .-.,.
