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.

HEAVY FLOl'H SHIPMENTS.
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.

appellant. He spoke for about three
quarters of an hour, and had not fin

On convening at 1 o'clock ho again

gument. The basis of the case for Martin Is
that evidence was admitted nt the trial
which should have been burred, the
principal point being evidence showing
the relations between Martin and Min

Worked Was Taken From a Down

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.
