FCNRS ARE SHORT. -Coxt of Itivlaiimtloii Excel Available Kinul by $4,000,000. Eventually Secretary Hitchcock will approve tho recommendation of the reclamation servlea that the Oianoan and Tlelon Irrigation projects be for mally adopted and thai funds bo ket asldu for construction purtiosea, writes Walter E. Clarke, WaslUugtou corres pondent for the Seattle Post -Intelligencer. There Is some iiuestlon as to Just when the secretary's approval will be given, for the reason that the amount of funds already "set aside" for Irri gation projects exceeds the total amount covered Into the reclamation fund. This excess Is now something like 3. 000, 000. Secretary Hitchcock Is Inclined to shut down on the further allotments of funds until the general fund In creases. No Increase can bo expected for some time, however, for expendi tures will. It Is believed, soon eiual or nearly equal the receipts, and the outgo will probably continue for Bomn lime. The reclamation service believes that the fund will be replenished not later than next year by receipts from the Truckee-Carson projoct, which Is now nominally under water and In complete operation. Inasmuch, however, aa the receipts under the moat favorablo circum stances will not exceed In any one year more than one-tenth of the total cost of projects, the eflect on the Irrigation fund will not be very striking. It la possible that tho fund pro visionally set aside for the Palouse project was abandoned for the time drawn and that Secretary HttchcocK will then approve the Okanogan and Tleton projects.

Portland Milken an Excellent Record This Fall. Portland, Nov. 7. The past four weeks have witnessed ft remarkable movement In flour, tho shipments from the northwest in that time ex ceeding by fur all former records for a similar period. During the four weeks beginning October 7. flour ex ports from Portland and Pugct sound reached a total of 647.333 barrels, the weekly shipments being as follows Week ending October 14, 1 13,404 bar rels: week ending October 21, 145,814 barrels; week ending October 28, 131 397 barrels; week ending November 4. 156,718 barrels, i The bulk of these cargoes have gout to tho orient where since the close of the war stocks are being replenished Another cause for the heavy shipments at thla time Is the announced advance In freight rates. On January 1 the present rate of $4 will be advanced to $ ..60, and shippers, In an endeavor to save the 60 cents while they may, are utilizing every Inch of rargo space obtainable. For this reason1 shipments of flour will continue heavy until the end of the year. In fact, the demand for space on the oriental steamers from Portland and the sound during November and December fur exceeds the supply. Within the next 10 days three steamers, the Nlcortemla,. Abergeldlc and Agtncnurt, will leave Portland for Japan with closeto 100,000 barrels of flour. The Nlcndemla will load 50,000 bar rels and the Abergeldle and Agincourt approximately 25.000 barrels each. In addition to their grain cargoes. KING IS A TOCC.H COUNTY.

ALFALFA ARM BRINGS PENDLETON PUREST Late Bacteriological Analysis Shows bntire Absence of Deleterious Bacteria. KXPKRIMKNTS MADE BY RALPH C. MATRON. Regarded an Conclusive Evidence of the Purity of Our Water, and Should Put an Entire Vulrtiis I'pon AU ( Complaint Reflecting I'pon It Tbs Sample. I'pon Which Mr. Mat son Worked Was Taken From a Down town Hydrant Dr. Smith of the State Hoard of Health, Ih Not Sur prised at the Showings Latest Test Ctmfirms a Previously Made Test. People who have been afraid that the city water Is not as good as It should be. may now use the same without fear, for It has been shown by the bacteriologist for the slate board of health that the water Is good and devoid of anything injurious to man. Early In October a sample of the city water won sent by Dr. C. J. Smith, member of the state board of health, to Ralph C. M.itson, asistant bacteri ologist, at Portland, for examination. The report from that official has Just been received und the findings are highly satisfactory. While the report la so technical In nature that its pub lication would be of no interest ex cept to professional men, the follow ing extracts show something regarding the analysis: "The portions taken for examination were transferred from the original flask by means of sirllc pipettes and distributed In varying, quantities .upos plain agar In Pasteur's dishes and In glucose und lactose bulllion la Smitb fermentation tubes. The cultures were grown at 37 degrees centigrade and 21 degrees centigrade. Colonies were counted at the end of 24 hours and hours. They were studied under lo power lenses, the shape, color and character of growth was noted, and from every variety of colo ny Inoculations wrre made upon such media as were necessary to deter mine the species of the bacteria found. 'inoculation experiments were not carried out because the types were distinctive enough without observing tlivra In tlie lower animals. The temperature was considered very important, for certainly a germ which will not grow at 37 degrees centigrade If It grows ut all, cannot cause disease in man, "All of the bacteria have been marked out sufficiently to exclude toxlcogenlc bacteria. The prosence of any of the species named Is common In water, and none arc Injurious to man. B. Protoeuc Is regarded by some as indicative of pollution, but only when the content Is high. In this case the content Is ordlnarv. Th presence of decaying vegetable matter near where the sample was collected, would explain Its presence." The sample , which was sent in by Dr. Smith for analysis was taken from the hydrant in his office about Octo- ! K.,n 1 . i, uuu i-uiiBuqueuuy was a f.-ir sepclmen of the water supply. In speaking this morning of the of ficial analysis Dr. Smith said it clearly showed that there could be no cuuse for complaint against the present sup ply, os It was found that the only in jurious bacteria found were those of such a low temperature as to be harmless to man. He was not sur prised at the favorable showing made, for from the nnlure of the watc source, the fact that there Is no city or town on the river above Pendleton, and the fact that the. water passes over a gravel bed before reaching the pump station, he did not believe there could be anything wrong with the water. The analysis Just made Is the first bacteriological test thut has ever been made of Pendleton water. Several years ago a chemical test was made by an eastern expert and showed favora bly. However, the bacteriological test is regard as much the more definite from a hygienic standpoint. Carload or Horses Slilpiied.
