SALEM. Or., August 31.— That
organizers of irrigation districts in
Oregon prefer to name the project
for birds, anim als and insects ra th e r
than for rural vicinities and points
of scenic Interest was indicated in a
sum m ary of the activities of these
projects prepared here recently by
th e state engineer.
In a recent mail there came to
the office of the engineer applies-
tion for the certification of bonds
in the sum of $10,000 for the devel­
opment of the F at Elk drainage dis
trict in Coos county. This project
includes approxim ately 2260 acres
of land.
Wmong the 120 irrigation districts
organized in Oregon, a large num ber
have been named for anim als, birds
and Insects. Some like th a t of F at
Elk were doubtless selected to at­
tra c t favorabler attention, while the
m inority were selected in honor of
some town or other point of local
prominence.
“ The Horsefly,” for instance, with
Its obnoxipus buzz and blood-sucking
propensities, is not 9uch a name as
to inspire the confidence of bond
buyers and others.

W ill Plant Bass
At Lake o'Woods,
Says Game Warden
In reference to a recent recom­
m endation th a t Lake of the Woods
be stocked with bass, Captain A. E.
Burghduff, state game warden, says:
I believe th at Mr. B errian’s judg­
ment is good when he states th a t he
believes bass are the proper fish to
introduce in this lake.
1 believe
th at if .we introduce bass in the lake,
we should plant both bass and crop-
pie, as they thrive together. While
the croppie are not nearly so game
a fish as the bass, they are very pro­
lific a fish and can readily be taken
by women and children. For ib is
reason I think they are a very de­
sirable fish to plant in a place of
this kind.
“In three or four weeks we will
begin taking bass and croppie try,
but of course, we never know what
success we will have as these young
fish are taken by seining out the
ponds and sloughs adjacent to the
Columbia river when the high wa­
te r recedes. The receding of the
w ater usually leaves lots of oass
and croppie fry stranded iu ponds
that eventually go dry, and the fish
we take for planting in thi3 m an­
ner are fish » th at would otherw ise be
lost when th? pools dry up.
“ I will keep iu touch with yon
in regard to taking the bass and
croppie fry, and if you and the peo­
ple down there feel th a t these ere
proper fish to plant in this lake,
we will send down one or two ship-
ments, or whatever we can get.

D ata B elieved Trustw orthy
Probably the most trustw orthy
d ata in respect to these highly im­
portant questions are to be found
not so much in th e records kept by
the com paratively few miles of elec­
trified roadbeds operated at the
present time, as in those m aintained
during somewhat earlier years when
the progress made in the develop­
m ent of the steam locomotive had
been far g reater th an in the then
alm ost unknown electric locomotive
— say from 1905 through 1908.
During thèse years steam and elec­
tric locomotives wrere employed for
heavy haulage in a large m anufac­
tu rin g plant, over a hundred miles
of track, where the economical and
dependable operation of the plant
switching and hauling locomotivesi
was a very im portant consideration
in th e economical operation of the
plant.
D u rin g the year 1905 the repair
costs of the steam locomotives ex­
ceeded those for th e electric engines
by over 46 per cent; in 1906 the
steam locomotive repair costs were
more than four and a half times as
heavy as those contracted (or the
