Secretary Lane arrived here . this afternoon after a visit today to Rainier national' park, on Ilia return frnm which Iia hild a recentlon In Ta- coma and met many of his old-time frlsncla, renewing; . the acquaintances of the days vhcji he was engaged In news paper worlcin thl city. He was met In this city by a committee, held a re ception at the Commercial club rooms, had dinner at the Kalnler club, and re ceived a coxmonolitan cratherlnu this evening at the Press club. "My policy Is to bring In an lnde- pendent populution which Intends to live In Alaska and make that country its home," said Mr. Lane, discussing Alas k. "For this iohkoii It appears to me to be the v. inn thing to open up the country so people can get In and out freely and allow their marketable pro duels to be brought out and needed sup plies be taken in at a reasonable cost. '"I advocate a complete system of railroads in Alaska. Not only lines from the coast to the coalfields, but branches that wili penetrate the agricultural and grazing sections. "Canada and the United States should have an amicable arrangement regard, tn'g the development of the lands owned by each country in the north. We can . aid them In their progressive work, and they can help us In turn." At the Washington hotel, George Howell, a Siwasir from Port Gamble, was presented with a piece of wedding cake given to Secretary Lane by a daughter of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo at her nuptials. The secretary of the Interior discovered the section of dream-disturbing and luck-bringing con fection while talking with interviewers at the Washington. The Indian had u grievance against the interior department because his children had been forbidden to attend the Indian school at one reserve when Howell had removed to another. How ell politely asked permission to shake hands with Secretary Lane and presa hit plaint. With his customary cour tesy, the secretary welcomed the In dian, and. after learning that thu red man's protest had been registered with Secretary Myers, proffered Howell the McAdo cake. Howell bowed a la Nip ponese mid retired after thanking Sec retary Lane for the gift. PROPOSED IRRIGATION SCHEME FOR DESCHUTES DRAINAGE AREA LANE WILL STUDY OREGON PROJECTS ON RECLAMATION Continued From Page One. j)ioit ltleH totalling millions of dollars In value, who have been Rlad to see rail road grade changes to meet cxpcctedly changed conditions, want to, know if Secietury Lane meant by "firBt unit" tliut all would be reclaimed of the West Umatilla extension was 10,000 acres, one sixth of tlie original project.

Some of it Is burnt-over land that can- " hui by any physical power be - cleared Of its great encumbering stumps and logs at any such rate, while at the same time there are roads and trails to make and a home to build. Homesteader Interested. Some of the land must be cleared for glazing because too' steep for the plow, yet the government doesn't regard this as cultivation In making the final proof. There will be those who do not want to lose new made homes or results of the hardest work because of a law that cannot be adapted to con ditions met. They will ask the secre tary either to exercise an authority given him to lessen the requirement for cultivation, or to favor and support a new hill which will make final proof contingent upon a showing of value of Improvements. Tho secretary of the interior's visit to the Deschutes drainage area to morrow will be of the greatest concern to those who have Visioned there a water power and soil development of heroic proportions. In the four coun ties Crook, Gilliam, Wheeler and Mor row He an estimated 500!000 acres of irrigable lands. The immense current of the Deschutes river and Its tribu taries is more than sufficient to fur nish water for irrigation and power. iiie Kiein project bo gripped imagina tion and appealed to the practical that the last legislature appropriated J50, 000, which, added to 150,000 appropriat ed by the government. Is being used i.i a detailed preliminary urvey. which, when completed, will outline a compro henslve and related system of rcsei volrs, canals and Irrlgible lands whloi rimy be developed by private capital following the plan jointly approved by state or government, or by government and state together, "or acting separately.

Experience aji"8 skilled advice concur in the opinion that a comprehensive plan, adopted and ad hered to will be of great value. The secretary of the interior has indi cated a willingness to appropriate $450, 000 of now available funds to be usid together with $450,000 appropriated by the state In a first development unde. the comprehensive plan. It Is believed that ., his seeing for himself the possi bilities will satisfy him of the merit of liberal appropriations. These are .some of the issues 'that the secretary will review while here. Un doubtedly he will listen to some se rious complaint;-. Oregon has contrib uted to the reclamation fund, from the sale of public lands, more than other states, yet while other states have re cJdved back In reclamation projects more than 160 per cent of their contri bution, Oregon has h t to be content with 10 per cent of her contribution. and that gotten wi'.h the utmost difficulty. Benefit Arm Untold, Should tliis discrimination continue, the secretary of the interior will be asked. It will be pointed out that such magnificent projects us the Deschutes, West Umatilla, southern Oregon and others are not to be forwarded for the benefit of Oregon alone, but that th-.'y constitute important units In a broad de velopment plan Involving all the west, and their bigness should be measured and known In .Washington offices to govern policies and, advance favorable action. . . It may be suggested in the secretary's hearing that Oregon feels she has due somewhat by way of recognition from the. present administration t,lal has not as yet been forthcoming. Oregon, It will be recalled,' supported the presi dent at the Baltimore convention and was the only state' west of the Rockies to do so. Oregon was the only Pa cific coast state that -Wilson carried, and the state gave a majority to a Democratic presidential candidate for the first time in 40 years. Oregon's Seed Apparent. Oregon now is represented by two Democratic senators whose votes are necessary to the success of any admin istration measure, ' Yet so far Oregon has given and has not received, has been loyal with an apparently unappre ciated loyalty. On the special train leaving for the Deschutes this evening will be repre sentatives of the Commercial club, Ore gon Development league, Conservation commission, reclamation service, State Land board. Chamber of Commerce. Governor West will head the coinmit-i tee of welcome this morning, which' will greet the secretary.

Hood River, Or., Aug. 18. Chief of Tollce J. K. Carson has been a very busy officer for the past week. Three different bands of juvenile marauders have been carrying on a program of dep redations that has puzzled t lie officers and many of the citizens, and not unlit one of the gangs was aught In tin, act was It surmised "it the mischief makers were young boys nine years of age and under. The threo gangs have been working in different sections of the city and when apprehended and questioned, no one was aware of the other's operation. One crew entered the Frank Parker resi dence, took a clock off a shelf, tore the machinery, out completely nnd scattered It over the floor. Ctiairs and brlc-a-brao were smashed; foodstuffs were taken from the larder and all sorts of cooking attempted. Candy making had been Indulged in; grease and dough was plastered over everything. Another gang cn4ered the Armstrong residence and disconnected the pHimbln;r and elec tric wiring ai.d turned things upside down generally. The other gang got away with about $S0 worth of fishing parphernalia from boats along the river. Some of the youngsters involved are not over 6 years of age. keny, but the disturbers scattered with the arrival of the wason. The next excitement, shortly after 5 o'clock, occurred when an "Independent" left his lodgings on Pine street, be tween Front and First, on his way for a Jug of 'buttermilk." "The enemy," in the person of one Jack O'Connor, for whom r A. F. Schaab, secretary of the new union had already sworn out a complaint, closed in on the "Independ ent," and chased him back. up the stairs. Scantling Stops Pursuit. The fugitive grabbed a piece of scant ling on his way up, and hurled it at his pursuer. The missile struck Connor In the shin and stopped the pursuit. Cap tain Riley protected the "independent" until he got his jug of buttermilk, and sent him to his room in care of another officer. Schaab also swore to complaints charging assault nnd .battery against C. Friedenthal and Pat Smith, members of Local 6, who Schaab says were leaders in Friday's assaults on members of the new union. V Capt2in Riley detailed two squads of about 15 men each, under Sergeant Peachin and Sergeant Thatcher, as a teserve force to cover the troublesome territory. Lights were out at & o'clock at "independent" headquarters, however, and the night was comparatively quiet Aaaailants Hard to rind. Because of the methods of attack in the disturbances the officers have diffl culty In getting at the ringleaders. The attacking men close In on a victim," sev eral of trim striking at the same time, and then breaking away and mingling in the crowd. One victim said that 12 men had hit him at once, but he could not give the names of any of them. Secretary Schaab says that the new union is going to stay in the fight, nnd that if expected help comes from cer tain employers, it will eventually win out. The regulars are Just as deter mined it will not, and there seems no chance for Immediate adjustment of difficulties. Conditions are normal at the docks of the Portland Lumber company and the West Bide Lumber & Shingle company where Local 6 is in command, Further dock trouble is expected If members of the new. organization attempt further work.

R. Al derman has asked the Portlund Play and Recreation committee to formulate a program , to "run throughout the school year for taking the children In small groups to the printipal places of art, historical and1 Industrial interest in Portland. Arrangements are being made with owners of lumber mills for the pupils to be taken, in as small groups as possi ble, through, some of the large mills so that they may connect thu actual pro cess of manufacturing lumber with their study of the Industries In the northwest. When a ship comes from Australia-, Brazil or Kamchatka, the children will be taken aboard, if permission Is granted, Jn order that the places these ships i sail ' to" and the shipment they bring. from these countries' may make the countries and their Industries real to them." ' . t - Kust Have Beat Yalfts. . ' "Geography . never has ' real 'value Unttf it teaches the children about real places and real people," said Superin tendent Alderman. "Places and people do not become real until they have been seen or heard of apart from tha printed page." The purpose of the plan Is. in the superintendent's words, to "link learn ing with life." It is planned also to take the children, especially the girls, according to an nouncement yesterday, to see the flour and woolen mills about Portland. It is thought that seeing the process of man ufacture will aid' the children in judging the purity of foods and in knowing whether cloth Is all wool or shoddy. Work to Be Practical. The public parks will be made use of In practical out of doors nature study. Miss Annie Belle Crocker, curator of the Art , museum is at work upon a schedule by which she hopes to make It possible for all of the classes in the upper grades to visit the museunV' some time ..during the year "when they can have a "per -f nally conducted" trip through the galleries. It lias been noticeable that frequently visitors knew more about the museums and other Institutions of similar nature than the people who lived In the city, and this Is thought to be largely due to failure to use them educationally.
