Buried Under Ashes and Rock.
San Francisco, Nov. 20. Five refu
ges from the volcano-ruined districts
of Quezaltenango, in Guatemala, have
arrived in this city on the steamer
City of Para. They boarded tho ves
sel at Charaperico. They were Mr.
Bardwell, Miss Bardwell, Ferdinand
Rardwell, Albert Bardwell and MIbs
Florlssa Mero. The Bardwells man
aged a coffee plantation about 30
miles southeast of the volcano at
Santa Maria near La Argentina. They
reached Camperico after suffering
much hardship on the trip from their
plantation.
"For three days," said Mr. Bard
well, we were almost in total dark
ness. On the fourth day, with a light
breeze from the south, the smoke
clouds were rolled back towards th3
mountain, and at times streaks of
light would break through. Then we
saw the ruin that had come over our
plantation. We were on the side of
tho volcano least exposed to the fury
of the eruption and fully 30 miles
away from the mountain, yet our
place Is ruined beyond all hope of re
covery. It is covered with deep vol
canic ash.
"We met several planters from the
vicinity of Costa Ctlca. They Baid that
tho destruction to the property there
was complete and that from three to
four thousand of the natives and em
ployes of the planters had perished.
Portland, Nov. 20. The first annual
session of tho Oregon Irrigation As
sociation has completed its labors,
after two days of interesting discus
sion. The irrigation propositions of
Oregon are now in the hands of the
agents of the government, who will
present them to the officials In charge
of government surveys, for considera
tion. The discussions on the floor of
the convention have tended to unify
the irrigation sentiment in the state.
The little flashes of embittered ora
tory have not divided the forces and

Umatilla River could be taken out nnd
run over the arid lands of the lower
end of this county during the high
water season and thoroughly saturate
the ground so that good crops could
be grown without water during the
summer. It was thought by all that
the ground, once thoroughly Irrigated,
would retain the wator late enough
in tho season to mature the crops.
This would not Interfere with tho
water at Its lowebt tide and the
scheme is certainly feasible.
"The reservoir scheme took third
place In the irrigating propositions
from Umatilla county although Mal

cated reservoirs to store tho winter
floods for summer use."
When asked what ho thought would

Judge Hartman Interviewed.
Upon his return to his home in

chairman of the Umatilla county dele
gation, who spoke in enthusiastic
terms of the irrigation plans present
ed to the convention by the delegates
from this county.
