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.

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.

S500 Coin For $10 Fine.
San Francisco, Aug. 14. 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.

Secretary of Interior Defended nt Ir
rigation Congress.
Spokane, Aug. 13. John L. Wilson,
ex-United States senator from Wash
ington, and John Fnrson, millionaire
banker of Chicago, clutimmi nnd n so
ciety louder, broke Into tho limelight
boforo tho National Irrlgntlon congress
yeoterdny in dofenso of Richard fi.
llnlllngcr, scorotary of tho Interior,
and succeeded In keeping tho llnllln-gor-Plnchot
"feud," so-called, In tha
public eye.
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. True, director of the olllco
of experiment stations, spoko on thn
sco and purpose of the national Irri
gation investigations.
Ex-Governor F. R. Gooding, of Idaho,
tola of tho work done in his state under
tho Carey act. Ho said that In live
years tho land under ditch In tho
Twin Falls projects ha come to a point
where tho best fruit crops In the West
ern states aro produced through Irri
gation. Paul 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.
