STUDYING SEEPAGE
SIX EXPERIMENTAL PITS TO
BE BVILT AT 1HHIGOX,
A. K. Wright and A. P. Stover, Irriga
tion Experts of Agricultural Pcurt-
liHiit Will Conduct Interesting Series
of Experiments In Sandy Soil to As-cn-taln
Amount of Seepage Vari
ous Kinds of Puddling Will Be Vscd
to Text Each Thoroughly.
A. E. Wright and Arthur P. Stover,
In charge of the irrigation experiments
In Oregon for the department of agri
culture, have started a series of Inter
esting experiments in seepage at Irrl
gon. Six pits 12 feet across the top and
three feet deep, of circular form and
having the same degree of Incline in
the walls that is found in the walls of
an irrigation canal, will be built at Ir
rlgon. in the sandy soil which Is en
countered In ditch making in that dis
trict. These pits will have various kinds
of walls. In order to test the seepage
accompanying each kind in irrigation.
The experts will use clay, straw, oil
and sand and silt tamped solidly, in
constructing the pits, In order to as
certain the amount of seepage from
ench of these different substances In
ditches.
The question of seepage has been a
vexing question In the sandy districts
and when water is first turned Into
raw ditches constructed In the sand
the seepage was alarming. In some
Instances, very little water passing
through the ditches, at all. In order
to ascertain what form of puddling, or
what substance can be used to. great
est advantage, the experiments will be
made In a most thorough manner.
The speed of the water In the main
canal at Irrlgon has been reduced by
a system of check dams in the.cunal,
and this has greatly reduced the seep
age, by depositing more silt In the bot
tom of the canal.
Last year the speed of the water in
the main canal was about three feet
per second and the seepage was very
heavy owing to the small amount of
silt deposited at this high speed. This
year the flow has been checked and
the speed reduced to about one and a
half foot per second and the seepage
has been reduced by almost 50 per
cent. It is thought that by puddling
In a scientific manner and reducing
the speed of the water In the canals,
the seepage can be reduced to a very
small amount even In very sandy soil.
The experiments will be continued
through the month of August In con
nection with other work being done
by the Irrigation experts.
ST. GEORGE RESTAVRAXT SOLD.
S. I.. Holdaway 19 the New Proprietor
of Popular Place.
As Intimated in this paper several
days ago, S. L. Holdaway has secured
charge of the St. George restaurant
and he will have the management of
the same In the future, taking the
place of Mrs. C. E. Cooper. The lat
ter's Interest In the business was pui
chased by Mr. Holdaway for the sum
of 83000, the deal being consummated
Wednesday.
Mr. Hqldaway, the new proprietor,

While the management of the St.
George has changed, the same help
will be retained and the business will
be conducted along the same lines as
during Mrs. Cooper's management, the
aim being to maintain the present rep
utation as one of the best first-class

Portland. Some improvements are
ali'O contemplated for the nea future.

MORE PROPERTY TO ASSESS.
Multnomah County's Tax List Will Bo
' Increased $1,000,000.
The evening Telegram reviews the
result of the annullment of the exemp
tion clause In the state tax law In the
following manner:
Approximately 6000 people In Mult
nomah county who have heretofore
been exempt under the Btate law from
taxation on personal property to the
value of 8300 will now be required to
pay a personal property tax because of
the decision yesterday of the supreme
court, which declared the state house
holder's exemption law unconstitu
tional. Included In this number are
scores of poor families, whose wealth
consists in nothing more than a small
amount of personal belongings.
If this number of people had prop
erty valued at 8150 per capita, the
assessed valuation of property in this
county would be increased 8750,000.
In addition to this there is a large
amount of personal property on the
assessor's rolls which Is exempt. For
Instance, If a man owns 81000 worth
of personal property he pays taxes
only on 8700 worth. Last year the
sum that was exempt under the law
amounted to 8907.644, and this year
It will be greater than 81.000,000. It
Is expected that by the decision of the
supreme court the assessed valuation
of personal property In Multnomah
county will be Increased 82,000.000.
This decision will necessitate a large
amount of additional work In the
county assessor's office. Taxpayers
whose personal property has already
been rated) will be taxed for the full
amount of the valuutlon, without any
exemption. Veiy little additional
work will be necessary to adjust this
matter, but when It comes to making
another house to house canvass .to as
certain the valuation of personal prop
erty, which heretofore has been ex
empt, the assessor will have an enor
mous task.
HORSE HEAVEN WHEAT LIGHT.
Clinrles F. Van Dc Water Find No
No. 1 Grade.
Charles F. Van De Water, traveling
freight agent of the O. R. & N return
ed this mornlpg from a trip of Inspec
tion through the lower Horse Heaven
country across the Columbia. Mr.
Van De Water made a thorough In
vestigation of the wheat and barley
yields In that section of the country
and It la his opinion that the grain
produced this season will equal that of
last year.
People of that section of the coun
try had expected a banner yield this
season as the number of acres over
last vear Is nearly double. Owing to
the hot winds which visited the dis
trict the yield has been cut down
about half from what It was expected
to be, but In spite of this the country
will produce as much grain as It did
last year.
Xo No. 1 Grade Wheat.
It Is thought that the number of
bushels per acre will vary from 12 to
15, while In the early part of the sea
son It was expected that It would,
reach 20 In most cases.
Barley, which, under favorable con
ditions would have made easily 30
bushels will now average 20. Mr. Van
De Water states that there will be
very little of the grain which can ba
graded as No. 1, as It is In a shrunken
condition and will not hold out In
weight.
BUILDING GOOD ROAD AT SALEM.
Government Starts Work 011 Object
LesHon Road Today.
The Incline trestle leading to the
new bunkers at the state fair grounds
will be completed this morning and it
is expected that the Citizens' Light &
Traction company will begin hauling
crushed rock for the government "ob
ject lesson road" this afternoon, says
the Salem Statesman. The rock will
be brought from Marlon county's
quarry south of this city and It Is the
Intention to begin spreading the ma
terial on the stretch of road under
course of construction tomorrow If
enough can be furnished by the street
railway company to keep several
teams employed.
With the arrival of the crushed
rock the work on the "object lesson
road" will proceed rapidly as the
grading and all other preliminaries
have been completed. In fact, the pre
liminary work was finished some time
ago', but operations were stopped on
account of the delay experienced In
the construction of the hunkers and
Incline trestle.
It Is -expected that a large number
of people will take advantage of the
opportunity to witness the construction
of a model road by government ex
perts when the rock work gets under
way.
TROY WILL HAXG BACK.
IIles Sometime to Be County Sent
Instead of Moscow.
The voters of this city do not take
kindly to the proposition of bonding
Latah county for 890,000 for the con
structlon of a county court house at
Moscow. The people here have not
entirely abandoned the hope that some
day Troy may be made the county
seat. They figure that If the county
at this time votes 890,000 for a new
county building that It will preclude
for all time to come, especially within
the coming generation, making Troy
the county seat.
While the voters of Troy do not de
ny that perhaps the county really
needs a new court house, they feel the
citizens of Moscow can forego Its erec
tlon for a few years, Inasmuch as they
are to have a fine new federal building
and there Is some talk of building a
city hall. The project Is also opposed
here because It will Increase the taxes.

HOW WILL THEY BE CHOSEN?
Diniites to National Conventions
Left Out of Primary Law.
Politicians are in a quandary to
know what method to adopt In elect
ing delegates to the national conven
tion, which will nominate candidates
for president and vice-president of Un
united States In 1908.
Among the Important changes
wrought by the direct primary nomin
ating elections law was that of abol
ishing the old convention system by
whlcb delegates to the national party
conventions were formerly chosen.
Grave doubts have also been ex
pressed by lawyers as to whether
there Is sufflcleht provision In the dl
Morrow county,, yesterday, who was
dentlal electors, and this question may
yet have to be taken Into the courts
for solution.
The law makes no direct allusion to
the method to be employed In nom
inating presidential electors, but It is
held by some lawyers, and among
them one who took a part In framing
thelaw, that the phraseology to be
found In section 2 of the act providing
that primary elections shall be held to
nominate a "senator In congress and
all other elective Btate, district, coun
ty, precinct, city, ward and all other
officers and delegates to any consti
tutional conventions that may here
after be called," makes a uufflclent
provision In the words "all other elect
ive officers." But whether it does or
not is not clear to all.
As to the method of choosing dele
gates to the national convention, how
ever, there Is no provision. The law
deal directly with the nomination of
candidates for federal, state, district,
county and municipal officers, and
leaves the question of national con
ventions and delegates thereto entirely
alone.
BREWERY DRIVER ARRESTED.
Allowed His Wagon to Stand
Too
Long Arrow the Walk.
Because one of the drivers of the
City brewery Insisted In keeping his
wagon too long on the sidewalk be
side the brewery, he will now have
a chance to explain his case In the
recorder's court.
It was one of the wagons which
haul malt away from the brewery,
and it was across the walk yesterday
when Mayor Fee chanced to come
along. Noticing that the sidewalk
was blocked, the mayor asked the
driver to move off the walk. In reply
the driver said he would do so as soon
as his wagon was loaded.
As the city ordinances prohibit
wagons from remaining on the walks
whether loaded or not, a warrant was
sworn out against the driver this
afternoon and was signed by Mayor
Fee.
It is a good deal easier to pray for
men's souls than to pour balm Into
