More than 100,009 acres of tbe rich
eat Irrigated land will be added to the
nrodue.n area of Oregon next year and
rthe following year through the Kiamath

being proa ecu ted by the government.
Progress of the, work on the Klamath
project Indicates - that about 190.009
acres- will receive water In time for Ir
rigating for the next crop season.
In a report to the Portland chamber
of commerce Just made by A. IL Devers,
chairman of the Irrigation committee,
bs gave the following" statement - of
progress of the work:
"The Umatilla project was approved
June 1. liOt . Th land to be .Irrigated
under this project borders upon tbe Co
lumbia river and lie immediately east
of the Umatilla river, the emount to be
Irrigated being estimated . at .10.000

tor adding to the above described proj
ect by the Irrigation of lands bordering
on the Columbia rivsr west of the Uma-
tilla, these lands to be supplied with
water from tne uoiummi river t
pumped with electrically transmitted
power from a generating plant to be lo
cated on the Desohutes river. 'For this
purpose the government has withdrawn
the -waters of the Deschutes river for
power purposes-under state law, said
withdrawal being worded so as in no
way to place . limitations upon ny Ir
rigation that cart -be carried on from
the Deschutes river st points higher up,
"The Klamath project was approved
by the secretary May IS 105. In its
entirety It purposes tbe Irrigation of
about MO.Ov acres of land, two thirds
of which lies In the state of Oregon.
About IS miles of main canal have been
under construction. This , entire - work
will be completed early next year be
fore the beginning of the Irrigation sea
son. Distribution ditches to cover a
first body of 0,000 acres to be Irrigated
from thl canal have been built directly
by government force. . , r

. "It- Is : expected thst commencement
will be made during the coming year
with the construction of the so-called
Keno canal on the west side of Link
rive-, and that from the present ter.
minus of the main can a construction
will continue down toward Merrill so as
to cover all tbe dry lands lying between
Irrigated areas under ths Aokeny canal
hear Klamath Falls and the Adam ca
nal near Merrill, both of which systems
have been purchased by the govern
ment, and whereby a continuous strip
of land containing about 10,000 acres
will be under Irrigation. - -

isfactorily In spits of extremely ad
verse labor - and market conditions.

Instituted proceeding s gainst the rail
roads, before the interstate commerce
commission, asking that they be given
wnat i known as "terminal rat"

Importance to Portland' mercantile In

All the dtle mentioned will Inter
vene tn the ease, be represented by
counsel, and will try to show the com
mission that transcontinental rate to
tha Paclflo coast are really not made
by the railroad but are forced on
them by sea competition, that no mat
ter whether many vessels bring freight
here from the Atlantic seaboard or not.
the route Is always open, sad If, rates
were not voluntarily made low by the
railroad ships would bring the freight.
"It will be shown," said W. A- Mesrs,
In a report to the Chamber of commerce.
-inai praciicany every article or com
merce can be and Is now being shipped
around the Horn. That thl trafflo I
very heavy eo heavy in fact that the
American-Hawaiian Steamship company
cannot secure ship enough te carry it
alL That on the completion ef the Te
hauntepee railway across the Isthmus,
which shorten the time In transit one
half down to 40- day from New York
their trafflo will be much heavier
that when the American-Hawaiian
Steamship company shall put on a 'Una
of steamers from New Orleans to" the
eastern terminus ef ths Tehauntepee
railroad most of the products of the
Mississippi valley from Chicago south
will seek that rout and thereby more
than treble the tonnage now coming to
this coast by water. .
- "It will be for the railroads to show
that ratea.to their Interior points are
reasonable and that If this commission
forced them to make as low rates to the
Interior as to coast terminal points the
order-would be unconstitutional, aa It
would be Impossible to carry the freight
at such low figures and pay their fixed
charges In other words it would prac
tically be confiscatory in Its effect."

The , remarkable stimulating effect

which it is asBOvlated by nature. This
has been one of the achievement of

originally prescribed I the following:
"One half ounce Concentrated oil of

shaken thoroughly and taken In table

The Ingredient em be procured from

W, L. Marquardt. a well-known attor
ney of Port Angeles, Washington, who Is
visiting Portland, says he owns !
acres of the same land and that Harrt
man's men have offered him 1000 for
hi claim, although It cruises from
12.000.000 to 14. O0. 000 feet of fir and
Is worth at least f 1 per 1,000.
Mr. Marquardt Is one of the ' men
prominently mentioned to succeed tbe
late Judge Hatch, - who presided over
the district composed of Clallam, Jef
ferson and Island counties previous to
his death In a runaway accident several
weeks ago. ' Mr. Marquardt Is tn nowise

Marquardt la In Portland on profeesionsl
business and bad no hesitancy In talk
ing about ths manner In which tbe Har
riman and Weyerhaeuser people have
refused to pay taxes on ths timber they
own instead- of the land en - which It
stands In speaking of th condition ex
isting In hi eounty, Mr.- Marquardt
said:.. . -

"For number of years I was prose
cuting attorney for the district com
posed of tbe above-named counties and
in my term of office endeavored' to
compel the Weyerheauaer and Harriman
Interests to pay taxes on th timber
they own. Neither would do It, alleging
that the land was - more valuable . for
agriculture than timber purposes, in
fact, swearing to affidavits to that ef
fect. Of course, with such records I
was nnable to make the people come
to, anything Ilk reasonable term with
the state, but nevertheless th land they
own has been cruised and show that It
ha th finest timber In th world on It.
The land which they value at 1600 each
