IS Irrigation Congress Closes Very Successful Meeting. CANKER ATTACKS TREES. FINCiQT'S WORK GIVEN PRAISE Resolution Command Forestry and Reclamation Bureaus To Meet Next at Pueblo, Colorado. Spokane, Aug. 14, With tho elec tion of officers, tho selection of Pueblo, Co)., as tho next meeting place, tho passage, of resolutions commending both tho citorts of Pinchot and Newell in the forestry and reclamation bureaus, asking a $10,000,000 irrigation fund from congress and commending tho Mississippi deep waterway, tho 17th National Irrigation congress came to a practical adjournment yesterday. Tho following officers in addition to the election of B. A. Fowler, of Phoenix, Ariz., president, and Arthur Hooker, of Spokano, secretary, were elected unanimously: First vice president, Ralph Twitch oil, of New Melxco; second vico presi dent, R. W. Young, of Utah; third vico president, L. N. Newman, of Montana; fourth vice president, W. F. Fleming, of .Now Mexico; fifth vice president, E. J. Watson, of South Carolina. An annual appropriation of $10,000, 000 for a period of fivo years to aid in irrigation work is asked of congress in resolutions by tho National Irrigation congress. This is perhaps the most important recommendation in tho reso lutions adopted, of which tho following is a synopsis: That homesteaders under a govern ment project shall not bo required to establish a residence before tho gov ernment is prepared to furnish them with water. That the government take'tneasures to drain swamp lands in aid of land re clamation and of public health. That the Irrigation congress aid, with other conservation organizations, to bring about waterway improve ments, reforestation, drainage and other like projects. That there be brought about surveys and estimates of reclamation of sub merged lands where the work is inter national in character. (This refers to Northern Idaho more specifically.) That the reclamation act be ex tended to Hawaii. That the states pass laws regulating cutting of public and private, timber. That there should bo no political lines with reference to the use of water for irrigation. That the Mississippi deep waterway be developed. The committee turned down the res olution asking a $5,000,000,000 bond issue, after a debate in which some of the Washington delegation upheld the measure. Orchardlsts Find It Most Trouble some Pest In Northwest, Dlnck spot canker is one of tho most troublcsoma fruit pests of tho North west and ono which fruit growers must understand nnd bo nblo to rccognlzo If they expect to make headway against It. During tho fall tho spores or "seeds" aro lodged on'tho apple?, being distrib uted by tho wind or other agencies. Later, when tho apples aro stored in cellars whero there Is an abundance of molaturo "sweating" occurs, a condi tion vwry favorable for tho germination of spores. Black spot canker is responsible for tho great part of fruit rotting that occurs. Tho most cfToctive treatment is a thorough spraying with bordeaux mixture in November, when tho spores or soeds aro floating in tho orchard. Because tho fungus gives such slight ovidenco of its prcsenco in tho bark in tho fall, and because so apparent in tho spring, many orchardlsts maku tho mis take of attempting to combat it in tho spring after it has already gotten in the bark. Such treatment is ineffect ual, however. Tho sporo must bo killed boforo it has germinated. BALLINGER IS FLAYED Secretory Is Accused of Playing into Hands ol Water Trust. FRIENDS RESENT ATTACK. TURNER HURRIES TO HIS DEFENSE Ex-Qovernor Pardoo Roundly Scores Giving Away of Power Sites Wants Roosevelt Policies. DEPOSIT TO BE MINED. Nehalem "Beeswax" Has Been Found to Be Ozocerite. That the product found in tho sand at the mouth of tho Nehalem river, pop ularly believed to be beeswax from a wrecked Spanish galleon, is valuable substanco known to chemistry as ozo cerite, was tho statement mado by J. J. Walter, president of tho Nccarncy City Hyrdocarbon Oil company, a cor poration organized to exploit tho pro duct For years visitors to that coast have picked up the wax-llko lumps that have strewn the beach thero. Tho genera) opinion has prevailed that it was beeswax brought from Manila for ono of tho Spanish settlements in Cali fornia and that the ship was wrecked there. Tho discovery was made as early as 1813 by the Indians. Kit Canon, the famous scout, now employed as an assaycr by the govern ment, visited the place and announced that the supposed beeswax was none other than ozcerite, a product of hydro carbon oil, found only in South Amer ica and in small quantities in Northern Europe. ALL NATIONS INVITED. HOLD UP BANK. Oregon Boys Secure $7,000 But Are Soon Captured. San Francisco, Aug. 14. Two Ore gon youths, neither one much over 18 years of age, walked into the Valley bank of JSanta Clara shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morning, and lining up the three clerks at tho muzzles of revolvers, pushed ono of the men for ward and told him to place $7,000 in a bag and give it to them." "And bo quick about it, too," said one of the hold-ups, "and If it is shy I'll blow the top of your bead off." While the clerk was obeying the youths, tho others bad a good chance to study their laces, as neither of the amateurish desperadoes was masked. Cashier BIrge placed the required sum in a sack and gavo it to the two invad ers, who at once left the bank, went a half a block, and jumped into a wait ing automobile. There one of the men placed a revolver at the chaffejir's head and commanded him to "let her out for ail she's worth." The chsffeur compiled and the heavy car disappeared in a cloud of dust. Some miles out of town, however, the machine broke down or tho driver dis abled it and the robbers Jtook to the fields. Their direction was ascertained and shortly afterwards they wero over taken by 8heriflf Langford and Deputy Sheriff F. Lowell, on the banks of Moody creek. Sheriff Langford made every effort to discover the identity of the prison ers, but boyond saying they were from Oregon they would tell nothing of their history.

A gold piece, valued by collectors at $d00, was paid into the police court today for a $10 fine, and is said-to be one of six freak pieces coined in 1847 from which the words, "In God Wo Trust" wero omitted by accident. These six coins escaped Into circulation before the step order was received and they are now eagerly sought by collectors. It is not known who paid the $10 piece. Big Washington Project. Kennewick That preliminary plans havo been made for a big Irrigation project, which will water thousands of acres of sagebrush land in Grant county aro under way, is the informs- tion given out by J. M. Spencer of Plains, Mont. Mr. Spencer, who has large land interests in tho Crab creek country, says that the farmers in that section have begun active preparations to place CSO,000 acres under irrigation by means of a pipe line to bo built from the Columbia river to tho Crab creek valley in Grant county. It will cost $6,000,000 to complete this gigantic undertaking, which will be one of the longest gravity systems In the world. The pipe line will run more than 100 miles before it reaches tho nearest land to bo watered and tho farthest point will bo the Columbia river, on tho northern boundary of Benton county. Central Oregon Settling Up. Burns Notwithstanding heavy im migration and settlement tho past few years, there aro yet in Harney county over 3,000,000 acres or government land subject to entry, Including timber, grazing, mineral and agricultural land, a greater area than tho entiro state of New Jersey, and two-thirds the area of the whole of Massachusetts, Up to a short time ago, this vast domain was devoted ontirely to stock raising, immense herds of cattle, sheep and horses feeding over the illlmltablo ranges during the greater part of tho year, while large quantities of hay havo been cut for their winter use. This has been changed. Tho past fow seasonB have brought hundreds of industrious settlers who are opening up farms and meeting with the most en- I couraging success in agriculture. Spokane, Aug. 12. With tho stago carefully sot, tho actors lire pared in tliolr lines and an ovowholmlng audi- enco In its place, tho Bntllngor bnttlo royal burst upon tho National Irriga tion congress yesterday afternoon. lha man who, In tbo languago of an enthusiastic Callfornlan, "ripped things wldo open" first was Dr. Gcorco C. Pardeo, ox-governor of California. Pardeo attacked Richard A. Bnllln ger, secretary of tho Interior, with n fierceness only exceeded by that of Georgo Turner, ex-senator of Washing ton, who took up tho cudgels In defense of Secretary Balllngor. Thcso two becamo tho principal actors In tho lit tle drama which was enacted after the appoaranco of the secretary. Dr. Pardeo told of tho activities of ex-Secrotry Garfieldwho, under the In structions of President KoosovclLwith drew from public entry many tracts of land under tho belief that theso lands should bo hold for tho peonlo. Now. ho said. Secretary Balllngor has again put up lor entry theso lands, and each tract has In its boundary a water-power site. "I do not opposo private enterprise In the development of theso sites." said Dr. Pardee, "but I do oppose giv ing away immonso rights to private corporations which In a fow years will hold tho same) political control over cities and states that railways now hold as a result of tho magnificent gifts mado them when they wero asking for help to construct We do know the corruption which has resulted from railway control. Shall we now hand out to a new form of corporate power an entirely now form of power over our institutions;" "Tho thing to'do," said the former California governor, "is to withdraw tha water-power sites, as did Roose velt, and told them for the people. lit. i'ardee. when seen later, fur nished technical descriptions of dam sites which ho said proved conclusively that dam sites which havo been taken up under Secretary Ballinger could not havo been taken up under Garfield.

Tho forepart 'of yesterday's session did not offer, seemingly, tho proper opening for a continuation or tho ttoublo until Dr. Pardee, ex-goornor or Lallrornln, rose to question a state ment mado by a speaker. Dr. Pardoo warmed to hi subject to such an ex tent that ho toon brought In his charges against tho secretary of tho Interior and accused that official again of per mitting tho opening for entry of valu able water-power lands. Tho afternoon session witi hatdly under way when W. W. Fnrrell, of Farrell, Idaho, took tho floor and dur ing tho time allowed for discussion at tacked sovcroly the Washington Power company, tho concern which supplies power to tho city of Spokano. At tho expiration of his flvo-mlnuta dmo al lowance thero wero cries fronf All parts of the building for Mr. Farroll to "go on." A vote was taken and finally tho Idnho man was allowed to proceed. Kx-Senator Wilson was seemingly In less of a bellicose mood. H started reading from a typewritten manuscript; but it becamo evident as ho proceeded that ho had something on his mind asldo from his tyiwwrltton paper. Sud denly ho ilung aside tho note on irrl gatlon, peaceful homos and deserts that blossom as tho rose. "There may bo thoso that do wrong in this land," ho shouted. "Thero may be water iwwcr companies that disobey the law. But I want to say hero that I stand ror Richard A. Ilalllnger and I shall hear no man say ho Is dishonest" Dr. A. C.

Clagstone, speaker of tho Idaho house of representatives, made a plea for aid from tho congrenn in ob taining drainagu for tho land In Northern Idaho, not only to aid in re claming the land but tn fight the mal arial mosquito peat In that region. R. II. Thompson, city engineer of Seattle, read a technical paper on pumping for irrigation. The only contoit of consequonco nt present scoms.to bo that over tho adop tion or tho resolution asking for fed eral bond issue of $5,000,000,000 to ho used In aid of irrigation. It Is under stood that tho Washington delegation will urge tho adoption of tWs resolution. OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST LUMBER CUT HEAVY. New Out INDIANA MAN FIRST. Motor Not Yet Perfected.
