PAST WEEK WAS WET.
All Section of the State Have Been
Visited by Rains.
The government weather report
for the past week Is as follows;
The week was wet and stormy.
Ualr fell every day In the western
counties and nearly every day In the
eastern counties. In the latter dis
tricts the rivers were bank-full at
the close of the week, and the soil
was cold and soggy. High souther
ly winds occurred on the fourth and
fifth and the sixth was also a windy
day In the coast counties.
The temperature averaged below
normal everywhere except In the
southwest, where It was slightly
higher than usual. The coolness
most pronounced during the after
noons, which were cloudy and pre
vented the usual diurnal rise In
temperature. r
No severe frosts wore reported,
but during temporary clear spells a
few light frosts occurred during the
middle of the week In the eastern
part of the state.

The following review of the diffi
culties encountered by the reclama
tion department In constructing the
rrlgatlnn projects of the west, was
written for the East Oregonlan by C.
J. Blaiichard, publicity agent for the
department. Mr. Blanchard aays:
The development boom In the far
west is giving the reclamation ser-
ice a good deal of concern at the
present time.
With every part of the lnter-
mouutaln country enjoying a re
markable building boom, the govern
ment finds Itself seriously handi
capped by Its Inability to secure rea
sonable bids for constructing its big
Irrigation works. The large eon-
tractors are all loaded up with rail
road work which will occupy their
attention for many months to come,
while smaller , contractors have all
they can possibly do to take care of
the local demands of cities and
towns.
Many of the contracts of the gov-
emni' iit have been advertised sev
eral times without securing reason
able bids. The government is con
fronted with the proposition of doing
the work by force account or of post
poning it until there is an improve
ment In conditions.
The present time Is most unpro-
pltlous for the government to under
take doing the work Itself. There Is
an unusual scarcity of labor. Wages
are from 0 to 60 per cent higher
thn two years ago, while efficiency
has been decreased rather than lm-prcv-'d
by the unlimited demand for
laborers. Owing to the remoteness
of murh of the government work
Iron cities and towns, labor Is not
attracted thereto, and as a rule th3
goyernme-.t gets only the leavings of
the most undesirable class of labor
ers. Tlie steady and sKiurui worn-
ers are all busy.
Materials Are Higher.
The costs of all kinds of materials
has Increased enormously. Take ce
ment, for Instance, which enters so
largely In the construction of dams
and headworks, and for which the
government is asking for hundreds o8
thousand barrels. It has been
compelled to acce.pt bids at prices
nearly double those paid two years
ago. Even at the present high pric3
onlv a few manufacturers are com-
roirr, and today the cement re
quired for Idaho, Montana, Wyo
mlng and the Dnkotas is shipped
from Chicago.
As an illustration of the material
Increase In the cost of construction
the fol'cwlng examples are cited: In
1104 and 1905 the average cost of
earthwork excavation was about 13
cents per cubic yard. Today the pre
palling rates for similar work are
from 24 to 30 cents. A large con
tract for grading was let at 13 cents
per yard, and the contractor execut
ed the contract and furnished the re
quired bond. When he came to e-
cure the necessary machinery.
animals and labor, he found
the work would cost so much more
than his bid that he threw up his
Md and forfeited his bond. On re
advertisement the contract was
again let at 24 cents per yard, and
'.he contractor is said to be losing
money at this price. Reinforced con
crete In 1906 averaged $8.50 per cu
bic yard, while .the responsible bids
this year are from 116 to $21.
The troubles of the contractor In
the matter of shipping materials are
shown by the experience of one con
tractor, who ordered a shipment In
November and loaded It on cars, de
tailing a man to follow the car and
expedite early delivery In every way
possible. Notwithstanding all these
precautions more than threo months
i-lapsed before the materials were re
ceived at their destination, only a
few hundred miles away.
The notable Increased cost of con
struction has compelled a revision of
the original estimates on all of the
large projects, and If there Is not a
material Improvement In conditions
It may be necessary to postpone fur
ther construction work on some of
these projects for an Indefinite pe
riod. Any further Increase may
render some of the projects so ex
pensive that difficulty will arise In
getting settlers to take the lands.

THE DOCTOR OF OSTEOPATHY.
The Title How Acquired Special Training.
The eight recognized colleges of Os
teopathy In United States are author
ized by their charters to confer upon
their graduates the title "Doctor of
Osteopathy," abbreviation, "D. O."
The title is thus a legal designation,
recognized by almost every ste.te.
The requirements of these eight col
leges for graduation ire a three
years' attendance of nine months a
year, actual attendance SO per cent of
each term, and the completion of the
course of study embracing all branches
of the medical schools except drugs
and their uses and operative surgery.
In place of the former Is put osteo
pathic therapeutics. As to the latter,
one must take an extra year. But
few osteopaths take operative sur
gery, the teaching on that being that
operative surgery should be perform
ed only by those specializing on the
line. This Is the position the medi
cal men are assuming. Osteopaths
as well as medical doctors practice
minor or emergency surgery, dressing
of wounds, setting limbs, etc.
Osteopathy being founded upon the
mechanical principles of the body,
nnd teaching that the treatment of
the body should Involve, first and fore
most, a thorough knowledge of
the body, anatomy and physiology
are made especially prominent In the
study. Disease being caused by the
slight slips and displacements of the
various parts of the body, due to falls,
blows, strains, contractions or relax
ations from heat or cold, etc., re
quires the osteopath to be tra'ned es
peclally In their detection and In
ways of correcting them. The skilled
osteopath Is a master mechanic In
exactly the same sense as the tnachln
1st. And the more skill he acquires
In his training and practice the more
of a master he becomes.
