OF
IRRIGATION
DEVELOPMENT
In America Irrigation waa practiced
thousands of years ago by the pre
historic town-building Pueblo Indiana
In New Mexico and Arizona. The
descendants of these Indiana still cul
tivate lands which were tilled by Irri
gation when the treasure-seeking
Spaniards came up from the south,
and even now practice many of the
customs of their ancestors.
High along the steep cliffs In the
canons of the southwest still cling
the ruin of the former homes of the
extinct race of cliff dwellers, and in
the broad valleys below can be seen
today the ruins of their stone dams
and Irrigation canals all that Is left
to tell the story of Americans first ag
riculturists. The first systematic application of
irrigation to be made by the whites
In the t'nlted States was Inaugurated
by the Mormons on the shores of the
Grtat Salt lake In 1847. The Mormons
foundUtah anything but the promised
land for which they had hoped. From
necessity they resorted to irrigation
and soon made the barren site of Salt
Lake City one of the most prosperous
communities In the west. A few years
Inter the placer miners of California
utilized their placer washing strenms
for Irrigation purposes and raised
large crops of vegetables and grain.
However, Irrigation did not make
any extensive headway until after the
civil war and during the early '70s,
when the great tide of Immigration
turned toward the west. In 1870 only
about 20.000 acres of land were cul
tivated by Irrigation In the United
States. In the next 10 years the num
ber was Increased to 1,000.000 acres.
During the years between 1880-90
irrigation experienced a great boom,
and the number of acres Increased to
nearly 4.000,000. In 1902. the last
census, the acreage was 9, 034, 526, and
each month sees thousands of acres
added until the total In nearly 15.000,
000 ncres today.
In the modern history of Irrigation
the great desert lands engineering
feats have been accomplished which
ore the wonder of the world. To ac
complish these feats mountains have
been tunneled, strenms carried hun
dreds of miles out of their natural
courses, lakes have been tapped;
whole rivers diverted and huge stor
age reservoirs constructed.
Irrigation has grown with such leaps
and bounds that natural gravity alone
cannot be depended upon to supply
the water where needed, and electric
Itv Is now being used to drive the
mammoth centrifugal pumps raising
the water to unusual heights.
Among the great Irrigation engi
neering feats of this country is the
wonderful Strawberry Valley project
at Vernal, Utah, now under way.
where a storage reservoir will be built
to hold five billion gallons of water,
and a tunnel 3hi miles long is being
cut through a mountain.
The work Is being done by electric
ally driven tools, and when completed
the water will first be used to gener
ate electricity for lighting and power
purposes, and then for Irrigation. The
entire electrical equipment for this
plant was furnished by the General
Electric company.
The Wllllston, N, D., project and
the Buford-Trenton project In the
same state are operated entirely by
electricity. The current Is generated
by Curtis steam turbo-generators and
Is used to drive the large motors con
nected with the centrifugal pumps.
.Another system haB been Installed
at Garden City, Kan., and still another
at Salt Lake, Ariz. At the last named
place the vertical shaft electric gen
erators are direct connected to large
water wheels for generating the cur
rent. From the old hand wheel of prehis
toric man to the modern motor driven
centrifugal Is a long cry, but It fully
demonstrates the progress of power
and complicated machinery from the
start to the present. Who knows what
the future will be?
WESTEHX PACIFIC TERMINAL. .
Mils for Coiurtructlon of Mole at Oak
land to lie Received.
Bids will be received this week for
the construction of the slips and
aprons for the new freight and passen
ger depot of the Western Pacific rail

cost about 1200.000, Including the
' construction of the aprons and the
j Installation of the necessary machin
ery. The depot proper. It is estimated,
I will cost from 120,000 to $30,000, de
i pending on how elaborate a structure
the company decides to erect.
I There will be two slips at the Oak-
land mole one for the passenger
! boats and one for the freight carriers.
I The boats to be used will be pro
pellers. 230 feet long and will have a
sealing capacity of between 1290 and
j 15000 passengers. The Western Pa-
I olflc plans on making an outlay of
: from $220,000 and $230,000 on each
! of Its two vessels. It Is estimated
that the run from slip to slip can be
made In 15 minutes.
Regarding the freight proposition, it
l planned to have a car flat run be
tween San Francisco and the Oakland
mole at stated Intervals to be towed
across the bay by a tug.

Pendleton, Ore., June 17, 1907.
To the Farmers of Umatilla County:
Our attention has been called to
circular letters sent out by Hchmelstcd
Manufacturing company, of Davlsvllle,
Cub. to our customers and other
farmers of this county, claiming that
we have no right to sell the Pendleton
Hitch, patented by Wentgen. This we
feel to be a great Injustice not only to
our many customers who are using the
equalizer made by us, but It is an un
just and dishonest method of business.
These letters, if left unanswered,
may create dissatisfaction which will
cause Injury to us that may, If neces
sary require the aid of the courts to
remedy. We propose to defend our
right and the right of our customers
and are as able to meet our unfair and
unreliable competitor as he is to meet
us.
He has no patent. He has n rights
that we are bound to recognize. We
have the right and privilege through
purchase, to the patent, No. 294.6081
on which we make 'thev Pendleton
Hitch. We bought It from Joe Wlnt
gen, the patentee, of Beattto, and have
the papers to show for It. Though the
Bchmeiser Manufacturing . company
may threaten our patrons wltb dam
ages of "$250" each, we hereby pledge
ourselves to stand between anw one
or all of our customers and any dam
age they may suffer from the Rchmel-
eer Manufacturing company.
PENDLETON IRON WORKS,
N. Company Answers Com
plaint of Hcppncr People.
A. W. Spencer of Portland, counsel
for the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company, has filed an answer with the
state railroad commission relative to
the allegations of excessive and dl3'
criminatory freight rates from Hcpp
ner to Portland, and intermediate
points on the Heppner branch, says
the Snlom Statesman.
The firmers and shippers of wheat
at Heppner. tone, and Lexington filed
a complaint against the O. n. N
company, stating that the freight rates
between Heppner and Portland were
excessive. The complaint set forth
tht the rate on wheat between Hepp
ncr and Portland. 19S miles. Is 18
cents per hundred, while the rate from
Pendleton to Portland, 231 miles, Is
ir, 3-4 rents per hundred.
In his answer the railroad company
admits that the rate charged Is
stated In the complaint. IS cents per
100 pounds from Heppner to Portland
for a distance of 198 miles as against
1 5 0-4 cents from Pendleton and 15
cents from Wallula, Wash., and irri-
gon. Ore., but demonstrates that tne
main line rate from Hoppncr to Port
land. 198 miles to Heppner Junction
Is 14'i cents and that for branch Una
service nn arbitrary rate of 3 '4 cents
Is ndded while the local rate from
Heppner to the Junction, 4 5 miles, Is
9 cents per hundred. The same rate
of 18 cents per hundred Is in efrect
on the Shanlko and Condon branches,
177 and 186 miles, respectively, from
Portland.
SIMPKIXS MAY IIAVE
URGED THE ASSASSIN
SiinpkliM Was Hunted and Hounded
, ami Hated Stem len berg Orchard
Wad Abo Ran Out of Idaho by the
Murdered ex-Governor and Was
Ix-ft a Tramp While His Partners
Are Rich.
In in Interview In the Denver
Post, David C. Coates states he be
lieves that Slnipklns urged Orchard
to kill Ooverncr Steunenberg. The
interview Is as follows. .
"Orchard says I suggested the kid
naping of the children of ugusl
Paulson, the millionaire miner of
Wallace. Orchard is a liar, as big a
liar as he Is an assaaeln.
I met Orchard In Denver and was
introduced to him. He told me he
was coining to Wallace, where I liv
ed, and ased me to give his regards
to' bis old' partner, Paulson. About
six weeks later he came to my office
at Wallace and I loaned him $10.
Then, on another day, he suggested
that we fix up a scheme to kidnap
Paulson's children and hold them till
he got $60,000 for the release. All
he wanted me to do was to receive
the money. He would steal tne cnti
dren cf hi old friend and then write
him to ray me $0,000 before they
would be returned.
"I told Orchard that If he attempt
ed anything of the kind he would
not get out of Wallace alive and that
t irniiirt exnose him. Paulson was my
neighbor, and I did not think it
necessary to say anything to him
about Orchard's schemes, as I knew
they would not be executed. j
"Orchard lies about many things.',
I do net doubt that he committed all ,
the crimes he i-onfesse9 to, but I am i
Bur Haywood. Moyer and Pettlbone
never employed him to assassinate,
anyone. His references to me exon-,
erate me of crime. I never knew ;
Orcha'd Intimately, though I did lend !
him $10 once or twice.
I have heard Orchard say he would
have been a millionaire but for Gov-
j ernrr Steunenberg. The first time 1
met him ho told mo ne was once ,
p'art owner In the Hercules mine and
that all hl3 old partners were mil- ,
llonalres, while he was a tramp, ana j
he blamed Governor Steunenberg for ,
hi? ill fortune. I saw Orchard nnd .
Jack Slmpklns together In Wallace j
she rtlv before Steunenberg was kill-
ed. Everybody who knew MinpKins
'knew he felt bitterly toward Steun
enberg. j
"Simpklns had teen persecuted
and hounded ever since 1899, and he
was really a hunted man. Why, he
had passed an examination for forest
ranger and the men who persecuted
him prevented his appointment.
"Wncn he was in the bullpen he
was tlod up nnd bayoneted by negro
soldiers, who wanted to make him
inform on some of the men who had
violated the bullpen rules. He blam
ed Steunenberg for his troubles. He
wos a hunted miin, though he had
n'ver committed a crime that any of
us knew of, and I have no doubt he
urged Orchard to kill Steunenberg. I
do not believe Haywood conspired In
the assassination."

Out at Yuklmii.
A suit Involving the title to land
suld to be worth $20,000 was argued
before Judge WhlLson yesterrjiiy, trie
point at Issue being the right of the
United States government to recover
r.nssesflon of land entered upon oy
homesteader lor ine puipim.: i
the reclamation service, says i
Yakima Republic.
Semi very novel and interesting
questions are involved In the suit, and
t 1m of Importance Because a large
number of other cases iiko u are
oenrting. . The case was argued oy
United States Attorney Avery and H.
J. Snlvely, who appeared for Hanson,
and Judge Whltiion took the matter
under advisement,
The suit is brought by the United
States against Chris. Hansen for con
demnation of land bordering upon
Lako Klchelos, and the matter came
up on a demurrer of the defendant.
Hansen lives on unsurveyed land.
The United States reclamation ser
vice claims the right to takethls land
without paying damages, although
Hansen has compiled In every way
with the United Mates homestead
laws. 11. J. Snlvtly, appearing for
Hansen, contended that the reclama
tion service had no authority to take
the land; that the homestead law
gives possession of It to Hansen as
long as he compiled with Its condi
tions and that the reclamation act
never was Intended to modify or
amend the homestead law. i
