TESTIMONIAL TO OREGON a: AobUvrauat of Xking- Siicmss of Ea- torprlso in raoo of Bopoatod " mm Xa Coaplluoatcd. Although delegates from central on Several Irrigation questions which affect that part of the state whn they reached Portland for the Irrigation congress yesterday they all agree to a mart on tha- worth of the Tumalo jrJ ectf ,... Tiere are nearly tBO of themtn .Portland today for the congress and eacn nas I the highest praise for the work tha has been accomplished by ine state ami Ior o. Laurgaard, the en gineer in cnarge. At. the caucus of the central Orecon contingent held, Wednesday afternoon okuicikjo ;v, num or Lower linage sponsored a resolution thanking the people west of the mountains for their share In making the Tumalo project posaiDie. Mr. Hunt Uvea some IS miles from 'the, project Itself, but he has been over It again and train, and a wide expert' enoe In matters lrrigational has con vinfced him of the superiority of state over private development enterprises. Testimonial to State. "Most private Irrigation enterprises have been failures," said Mr. Hunt this morning, "but In the Tumalo- project the state has stepped in for the first time in the history of this country and has ' perfected an irrigation project which la an unqualified success. "It is a 1 testimonial to the state of Oregon, and shows what the state can do for the individual in preparing the oil for him as well as developing the wnoie state. "The whole theory of irrigation is . predicated - on making seml-arld lands tillable, tso that successful settlement Is . possible, and In opening up these projects . ouwaing up tne state as a whole. "Private Irrigation projects have fallen down through faulty engineer ing," so that Invariably they have failed to supply water to the farmer--at the time when most . he needed It. One week of Inadequate water supply and a stunted crop would be the result. which all the water In the world could no i improve. ' Insured Against Z.oss. i The Tumalo project is eo construct ed that water Is always assured, and will always be available, thus insuring the farmer from loss. The value of land In the project will rapidly In crease, and with auch increase taxes will soon bring back to the state all that it baa expended." Pr. J. F Hosch, mayor of Redmond, is another "who states Portland people ought to . Visit the Tumalo j project to sea jwijit a remarkable transformation has be made in that 'section ; of the state. Dr. Hosch was project physi cian, having care of the men employed on the work, and knows the project .like a book. v " "The climate over there is superior to that of the Willamette valley." he said .yesterday; "it is mild and equa ble, and the roads are in better shape than here. . Forty to 60 acres of irri gable land cannot but spell prosperity. W.- Q. Waugh of Bend, an advocate of Improvement of the north canal, likewise has nothing but the greatest praise for the Tumalo project. x i upus eu metis urus Will Be Discussed Chamber or Commerce Commlttae Will Prepare Opinions of Various - 8111s and, These Win.

Trustees of the Portland Chamber of Commerce have instructed the chamber's - legislative committee to take active part in the handling of bills presented for action before the coming session and the committee will meet twice weekly to discuss meas urea affecting the business interests of the city and state. A serai-weekly bulletin will be Is sued embodying the committee's opin ions in matters of legislation and this will be sent to the legislators and the chamber's membership, The trustees also indorsed the effort to induce the navy department ; to-"do Part of its i outfitting for the big naval demonstration at the San Fran cisco exposition on this .coast, partic ularly the purchase of food for the sailors, 30,000' of whom are expected participate in the demonstration OKUMA mm IS: LIKELY TO BE BEATEN OVER ARMY INCREASE Cabinet i to Take ; I ncrease to People in March,' Following ; Defeat in , Lower : House, HIGHER TAXES UNPOPULAR!

I . i Such Is Vow the Theory of Astoria Po lice in Connection With the Suicide of Tormer City Councilman. Astoria. Or., Jan. 8. That former Councilman Karl Knobloch was robbed In his bed at the Astor house Tuesday night, and that tho loss of his money, totaling $115. was directly responsible for his suicide Wednesday morning', is now the thovy of the police. It was established beyond all, dispute yester day that he had the money on him when he entered the hotel about 9:30 o'clock Tuesday night. He did not leave the building again until morning. Shortly before 4 a. m. he awoke Mrs. Leasy, the proprietor, and informed her that he had been robbed. ' lie then reported the matter to the police sta tion. A new development that lends additional weight to this argument is that in reporting the robbery to Officer Thorsen at the police station, Knobloch declared tho S3 he had in his posses sion when searched he had-picked up in half dollafa in hisi bed as proving that he had been robbed while asleep. England Will Pay For Militia Victim She notifies Stat .Department, With out Betting Amount of ! lability, She Will Pay for Duck Hunter Snot. Washington, Jan. .8. England has notified the state department, without deciding at the present time the amount of the liability, that the gov ernment would consider the payment of damages to the family of Walter Smith of Buffalo, N. Y., who was killed recently by Canadian militiamen while duck shooting in Canadian wa ters near Fort Erie. WILL SPREAD OPTIMISM i " Elevator Victim Pies. Ran Francisco. Jan. 8. P. II. Pit ting, one of the injured in the Cali fornia-Pacific building elevator acci dent Wednesday, died at St. Francis hospital yesterday without regaining eonaclousness. An "optimism banquet" for the North Portland district, which every resident of the district will be ex pected to attend, will be held by the North Portland Commercial club at Jefferson high school on the night of January 16 if that date does not con flict with any school function. Presi dent E. M. Orth has appointed P. S. Scrltzmier, O. P. T. Jonson, H. Kurtz, II. A. Ruble and II. S. Hald as the committee of arrangements for the banquet. ;At its meeting January 19 the club will take definite action on the question of having the park de partment plant roses in the boulevard parkings on the Peninsula. (United Press Leased Wire.) "Yokohama, Jan. 8. If signs count for anything, the Okuma cabinet stands little chance for winning the election it probably will call In 74 arch in the hope of securing . tho necessary funds for increasing the size of the army, . In was because the lower bouse of parliament refused this extra appro priation that the ministry dissolved the session recently, announcing it would take its case before the voters at a national referendum in the spring. Since then it has been pushing an en ergetic campaign in support of its military policy. . Japanese Taxed to Xdmit. The fact is, however, that the Japa nese already feel they are taxed to the limit of endurance. As will b remem bered, the ministry- preceding Premier Okuma's was shipwrecked 6n the ques tion of more money for naval purposes, and Indications are that the present cabinet will come to a similar end as a result of its insistence on an army increase. Should It fail to carry the coming election, it is the consensus of opinion that its position will become impos sible, and it will have to resign, though under the Japanese system of govern ment this is not an absolute certainty, as in England, Prance or tho majority of other European countries. European Service Suspected. Even in the event of a victory at the polls, tho actual attempt to pass the necessary legislation In 'execution of the ministry's plans would be likely to provoke grave disorders, just as the effort' to put through beavier appro priations for the navy caused grave riots a month ago. Despite all statements to the con trary, the belief is general that what Premier Okuma wants more soldiers for Is service in Europe. Otherwise, it is pointed out, there is no reason why he should desire them. And sentl- ment throughout Japan is strongly i against further interference- in the ' European conflict. The people do not propose to foot the bills. Read Poison Case, Followed Example MTew York woman. Gives Son Poison,' Takes Some Herself and Turns on Gas Jeta 'Tired of Idf a." New York, Jan. 8. Mrs!
