Reclamation of Tract In Idaho and Another In Montana. Washington, March 27. Tho secre tary of the interior today set apart M, 300,000 from the reclamation fund for tho purpose ot beginning operations In connection with tho Payctte-ltolso Irri cation project in Idaho, and $1,000, 000 tor tho same purpose in connection with tho Milk River project In Mou tana. It is calculated that 970,000 acres will bo reclaimed in Idaho and 325,000 in Montana, and tho ultimata cost ot the two enterprises Is filed at 111,000,000 and 110,000,000 respect tvely.

PEACE IS NEAR. Preliminary Pourparlers Being Held In Northern Capital. Paris, March 27. Inquiry late last night tends to strongly confirm the statement in last evening's dispatch that approaches toward peace between Hussia and Japan have already begun at a private conference In a Northern European capital. In view of the statement from St. Petersburg that pourparlers were going on in Paris, the Associated Press lost night called nt the Russian embassy and at tho Jap anese legation. Ambassador Nelidoft stated specifically that he knew noth ing about such negotiations being in progress here, and Minister Montono, while declining to discuss the general question of peace, authorized the state ment that no pourparlers were occurr ing in Paris. At the foreign oflice it was also stated that officials there were not aware of steps toward peace. The foregoing statements by Count Netidoff and Dr. Montono, while indi eating that negotiations are not pro ceeding here, do not alter the main statement that peace preliminaries are atually progressing elsewhere. The real explanation is probably to be found in the Paris dispatch of last evening that a preliminary conference bad already been held at a northern capital. There are strong indications that this capital is Stockholm, and that the negotiations will be conducted at Stockholm, if the preliminaries prove successful. Copenhagen also is men tioned, but it is understood that the point was raised against past or future conferences there that there is a large and influential Britsh element at that capital, whose sympathies might be hostile to Russia. Swamped with Flour Orders Minneapolis, March 27. Japan flour orders continue to pour in upon Minne apolis millers at a rate that has exceed ed all expectations. me past week brought in calls for consignments rang ing from 6,000 to 20,000 sacks. One of the big companies states that ft is 30 days behind on Japan orders, with every mill running to its maximum ca- pacity. Uther companies report like conditions. These orders are all made clearable from the semboard within two months' time, showing that the flour is wanted Immediately. Washington Building Falls. St. Louis, March 27. While work men were razing tho tall building erected by the state of Washington at the World's fair, the building suddenly collapsed and three men were injured. Tho work of demolition had been in progress since the first of the month All but three of the gigantic 110-foot timber props that peculiarly character ized the construction ol the bunding bad been taken down.

He will cover the territory from Fairbanks to Capo Nome, collecting specimens on the way and advertising the exposition at he goes. J.

B, Loomls, when nskod today whether lie had re solved on any action with regard to the Russian cruiser Lena, which is now held at Maro Maud, said: "I paid a visit to the Lena yesterday, but' she will not be released until tho war is ended, for that would bo a breach of tho neutrality laws, Hho will have to stay at Maro Island." I OREGON STATE ITEMS OF IrYllfc I , . RESUME WORK 0N UMATILLA Irrigation Project Hat Attention Government Engineer!. Pendleton John T. Whistler, etneer ot tho reclamation bureau en for Oregon, says work will bo resumed on tho Umatilla irrigation project in short time. Tho engineers will con tlnuo their investigations ot thu John Day river proposition mid ascertain tho river can lo diverted from its chan net over the desert lands of Southern Morrow county. Tho feat would bo n difficult one and, contrary to tho belict of Jthe pub lic, who think the river would loav ita channel at the headwaters ot Wll low creek, tho canal would nocewarlly follow tho deep canyon ot tho river (or miles, emerging to tho top a point west of lone, Morrow county and tako an easterly direction toward Umatilla comity until the grade neees sltatcd running north to the Columbia This project would probably cost from I2.5U0.0O0 to 3,OQU,000, hut Mr Whistler states that should it bo found that 250,000 acres could be reclamed it would bo feasible. Should the amount ot land Imj much smaller than this it will bo deferred until such time as lands are of a sufficient value to warrant the expenditure ot such n sum, or nt least until the reclamation fund reaches such an amount as to war rant tho commencement ot such scheme. Other investigations In the Umatilla project proper will bo continued, as site was found lato last fall which might prove feasible. The character ot the soils in that district is such that great care Is being exercised upon site. Some have proved after tests to be ot sucli a nature as not to hold water through tho hot reason and would lose a great amount by tho per eolation through the sides and bottom ot a reservoir.

Pendleton Stock growers of tho county are disappointed at the poor cattle market and a fow aro selling re gardless of the fact that only tho lowest figure of the season can bo obtained. A short time ago the market promised to reach 4 cents for steers and 3j cents for cows, and In one or two Instances those figures were paid, but after thnso sales tho prices Immediately fell until only 3 cents is paid for the choicest animals.

From computations made by ijitxir Commissioner O, P. Huff last summer, that official reached tho conclusion that some ot the older Settled valley counties aro not Increasing Very rapidly In opu latiou.

The apportionment into senatorial and representative districts is Hot at ways miulo in strict compliance with tho constitution, and therefore soma counties get a larger rebrosentntloii than their population entitles) tlnin to, while other counties get less, Should tho legislature of 1U07 be actuated by desire lo lollow thu constitution, tn-irc, might be some imiwrtant changes in the apportionment of representatives' Water War On.
