TWO GREAT PROJECTS.
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.
An Iiiternatlonalqucation Is Involved
in theJMilkjJriver case.'as a portloiiof
that river, from which it is proposed to
divert water, lies in Canada, and to
tho matter Secretary Hitchcock has
been giving personal attention. Alter
conferring with tho president, ho has
instruc cd Director Walcott, of the
Geological survey, to take immsdiate
steps to carry into effect tho plans ot
tho reclamation service for storing
floods in St. Mary's lake, diverting the
water ol bt. Mary a river over into the
head ot Milk river and ultimately
across tho headwaters of -Milk river in

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. While workmen
were taking down another the building
fell.
Collecting Alaska Exhibit.
Washington, March 27. The Interior
department recently sent Godfrey
Chealander on a tour of Northern Alas
ka to collect exhibits for the Lewis and
Clark exposition, in addition to those
shown at St. Louis. He will cover the
territory from Fairbanks to Capo Nome,
collecting specimens on the way and
advertising the exposition at he goes.
J. H, Itldgeway, government taxiderm
ist, Is now at Sitka preparing the Alas

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

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.
Instructions for Taking Census.
Salem Secretary of State Dnnbar
has issued the blanks and instructions
to county assessors governing tho tak
ing of the state census ot 1U05. Sup
plies will be sent to each assessor In
day or two. Tho legislature, at its hist
session, having failed to pass any act
amending the old census law, Secretary
of btato Dunbar has adhered closely to
the law, out ol dato though It Is. Two
blanks are provided, one tor the enu
iteration of inhabitants nnd the other
for the enumeration of industrial pro
ducts. For tho convenience of assessors
the military roll was Included In the
enumeration ot inhabitants. The in
structions given are very complete and
if studied and carefully followed the
census should glvo a very accurate
lection of statistics.

Low Prices for Cattle.
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.

The growth of Kastcrif Orrgb'f and tho
city ot Portland In tho last' Ave years Is
supposed to have been mora rapid than
the growth ot tho Willamette valle)'
counties, and it tho sta"o census should
show much ot a difference, Multnomah
county add Eastern Oregon may profit
by securing larger representation In tho
legislature.
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. His report showing that opin
iou raised a storm ot criticism from the
counties that received an unfavorable
showing, but Comiiilrelouer Huff assert'
ol that his computations wvru made ac
cording to plans approved by the best
stutlsticiuus, ami lio anticipates that
the census will bear out his figures'.
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
