Canals Long Enough to Span the Knrth Twice and Costing 990,000, 000 Have Been Constructed for Ir rigation Purposes Flint Great Work Undertaken by the Govern ment Wan in Nevada Others of Equal Magnitude Now Under Con Htruction. Something of the immensity of the work of Irrigation In the United States is shown In the following brief review of the subject by C. J. Blan chard In the Geographical Review: In the last quarter of a century a crop producing area of 10,000,000 acres, equal In size to the state of Masachusettr, has been wrested from the desert. Irrigation canals long enough to span the earth twice and representing an outlay of 190,900,000, have been built. Every year this area returns a harvest valued at nearly twice the cost of the. Irrigation canals. The United States Is today the largest own er of the great American desert no doubt as Mr. Blanchard explains, be cause It was not considered worth stealing. For many years the sentl. ment has been growing that the gov. ernment should make this vast empire habitable and this sentiment crystal ized Into the reclamation law, signed by President Roosevelt on June 17, 1902. The first of the great . Irrigation works to be undertaken by the gov ernment Is In Nevada. In the bed of an ancient lake, Lahontan, and em bracing what was long known as Forty Mile desert, the most desolate and arid spot on this continent except Death Valley, the engineers completed the piano for an extensive Irrigation work Involving some rather novel en gineering features, the greatest and most important of which Is that of lifting the waters of the Trucbee river into the great canal, which will carry them oves Into the Carson river reser. voir, whence they are diverted Into laterals and carried out upon the des ert. ; When completed, the Truckee-Car-son works will cost more than $9,000,- 000 and render productive more than 400,000 acres now absolutely worth lets, but which, when irrigated, will sell readily for $30,000,000, It Is esti mated. Since the beginning of the Truckee- Carson project others of equal mag. nltudc have been started by the gov ernment In different parts of the west. BEXSELL-SOUTHERLAND.

ANXIOUS PENDLETON PEOPLE, (Continued from Page 1. and ever since the first receipt of news this morning they have been anxious ly awaiting for further tidings. Sev ern! traveling men who are here have families In the stricken city, and they have tried In vain to communicate with them. Mr. Strauss, the wool buyer, is among this number, and E. H. Clarke also has relatives there. Mrs. J. Sheuerman has two brothers employed In the Occidental hotel, which fell this afternoon. Among the local people having "rel atives in San Francisco are Leon Co hen, Fred Lampkln, Frank O'Onra, Lee Drake, Mrs. Fred Lockley, Mrs. Helen Whlttemore, A. H. Walte, Mrs. R. W. Henneman and W. F. Taylor. However, this number Is but a small fraction, as almost every other fam ily In the city has relatives or friends In San Francisco. Among former residents ot San Francisco the terrible earthquake this morning recalled a similar one In 1868. During that year a shock oc curred which did great damage, and through fear of a recurrence no brick buildings were erected In the city for many years. Colliers' EHUihllshiuent Gone.' C. H. Thompson, a representative of the P. F. Collier Publishing com pany, Is In the city today and received news that the Collier Publishing house on Mission street, In the heart of the ruined district has lost Its en tire property, valued at $40,000. This was the wholesale and Jobbing dis trict, and suffered severely on tcoount of the closely crowded high building. Land Bitters House Wrecked. W. D. Joiner, a traveling represen tative of the Lash Bitters company, of 116 Second street, San Francisco, left for home this afternoon, on hear ing that his company's establishment was ruined in the earthquake. The house was In the thickly populated wholesale district and was among the ruins of the early morning. Other Traveling Men Concerned. Other traveling men now In the city who have families living In San Francisco are Fred E. Bernstein, K. F. Rockfellow and Joseph Kragen. All of these men have been trying vainly to learn concerning theu loved ones during the day. According to those familiar with San Francisco most of the ruined por tion Is In the wholesale district. Mis sion, Battery, Sansome, DavU End Drum streets being all devoted to large wholesale houses. However, Market street, which has been the scene of heavy damage, Is the main business street of the city. The Vu lencla hoted, which went down this ofternoon. Is three miles from the other portion affected. ' Stocks Depremexl In New York. New York, April 18. The San Francisco disaster has a depressing effect on the stock market. MAY YET HANG.

St. Petersburg, April 18: Curious uomesuc complications have arisen out of the return of Russian soldiers who, while prisoners, were reported dead. Many of them have fm.n.t th.i- wives again wedded, and one lnstanc iias come to light where a woman, who supposed herself a widow, now is legally the wife of two men. The reappearance of husband No. 1 found her the mother of a rhiM h kh,nj No. 2. The first husband was willing ' rennquisn nis claim to his suc cessor for $26, but the latter did not have the money, and the matter was referred to the village priest. Finally It "was arranged that the wife should return to her first love, but that the boy being born In wed lock with husband No. 2, should be cared for by the latter and bear his name.

Fitters Roosevelt's SOLE A REPUBLICAN SPEAKS. If the Tribune Is Honest, Why Does It Not Answer Dmilway? Pendleton. April 18. (To the Edi tor. The only time that the editor of the Tribune shows that he has any thing even like one of the faculties possessed by the average school boy. Is when he says nothing. That Is not very frequent, however. When he does attempt to say something he re minds me of the two-headed calf a freak of nature which Is never frightening anything but itself. Mr. Dunlway's communication which appeared In yesterday's edition of your paper was excellent reading; but not only that, It was so full of truth that Its every statement must have caused Dodd to have had a series of moral nightmares. The al leged owner of the sheet dare not an swer It. He knows what would hap pen. He realizes what his posi tion is in this community and were he to Invoke all the gods and goddesses of old to his aid he would find that paganism,' like his conscience, is a nonentity. He Is grasping at the few lust straws to save himself from being hurled into aphe lion prematurely. Can he do It? Nay. I think he Is tottering more rapidly than he knows. As far as the prestige of the paper which he attempts to edit Is concern ed. It is about as wholesome and ef fective as the walls and yelps of a yel To the Brides and It's a great mistake to wait until the last minute before select ing your furniture, draperies, rugs and carpets.
