nance to promote public health and

Colorado Commission Wants State to
Control Power Sites.
Denver, April 20. The Colorado
Conservation commission today adopt
ed a resolution declaring for exhaus
tive state control of watcrpowcr sites.
The resolution, which turned down the
Pinchot policies as outlined by James
k. iiarneid. in his address last nicht.
reads as follows:
"Resolved. That as the waters of
this state are tho property of the
state, the powers developed by such
water should remain forever under con
trol of the state, and that all legisla
tion lending to abridge or restrict such
control be discouraged."
War Department Refuses to Heed
Prayer of Dwellers In Lane.
Washington Tho war, department
has definitely refused to assist in pre
venting tho washing away of tho banks
of tho Willamette between Eugene and
Harrisburg. Citizens, through Sena
tor Chamberlain, asked the department
to do mis on tho ground that tho cov-
emment built tho dikes that caused the
higher water which had caused ureal
destruction upon adjoining lands at
each freshet time.
Chief of Engineers Marshall referred
the matter to Major Mclndoe, at Port
land, who upon examination reports:
"Caving in was in progress before
the dikes wcro built and in our opinion
tho dikes are not responsible primarily
for such caving in. Tho project to
prevent it would bo enormously ex
pensive and not justified by the needs
of navigation on tho river. Work dono
for that purpose would bo solely for
tho protection of private property and
is therefore not recommended."
Plan Model Dairy for Klamath.
Klamath Falls. Klamath county Is to
have ono of the finest dairy ranches in

ceive the herd, Mr. Ellis will go to the

decided on the purchase of Quermers
and Ilolitelns, believing that these will
best meet the conditions of cllmato and
the demands of the markets.
SB 1 1 0,000 TO BUILD DAM.

acres contained In tlio Furnlsh-Coo
project west of Pendleton Is to bo con
structed this summer. Tim contract
has been signed and bonds given for
commencement of work within 30 days
and completion by, October 1. Tho
Eschbach'Bruco company of Seattle
has been awarded tho contract.
Although tho dam was projected sev
oral months ago, am! though concrete
cores had been constructed from bed
rock to tho surface of tho ground, no
work has boon dono for Bovornl months
and many wuro of tho opinion that
tho project had been abandoned.
Tho original plans of tho Furnish-
Coo project wore for reclaiming land
principally by winter, spring ami early
fall irrigation. Three dry seasons in
succession convinced tho promoters
that It would bo well to provido for
emergencies, and tho dam plan was
adopted. Tho dam will bo 50 feet
high, 1,170 feet long, 270 feet wido
at base, and 20 feet wido at top, and
will cost $110,000. It will form a res.
crvolr covering 240 acres and contain
ing a supply sufficient to Irrigate tho
entire project for 60 days.
Owing to tho largo number of other
reclamation projects, It will bo neces
sary to arrange for normal flow of tho
river at all seasons of tho year. Tlio
spillway will also bo capable of hand
ling tho largest floods and will havo a
capacity of 60,000 second feet, or
twlco as much water as has over
passed down tho rivor.

British Journal Sees Hidden Mean-
Ing In Voyage of Squadron,
London, April 18, While ono sec
tion of European opinion urges Mr.
Roosevelt to discuss with William and
Edward an international understanding
for tho limitation of armaments, an
other cynically suggests that, If they
will bring tho matter up for his con
sideration, mora may bo accomplished.
Tho Implication Is, as ono prominent
Journal sees tho situation, that Mr,
Roosevelt has dono as much as either
of the monarch to sltmulato the ap
petite for fleets.
Interest In this matter Is heightened
by Washington dispatches today that
foreshadow another around'tho-world
cruise by Amcrlcnn battleship, these
vessels heading cast from Hampton
Roods InsUad of south.
"If tho cruise Is taken." commonts
ono week-end observer, "any tyro will
be able to see tho connection between
it and the readjustments of the Wash-Ington-Toklo
treaty nnd that famous
final clause of article II.
"There is going to be tension be
tween tho United States and Japan
when the latter presses for tho privil
eges of naturalization and sufTrsge,
not to mention easier Immigration
conditions, and Undo Sam recalls tho
pacifying Influence of his war dogs
two years ago."
Hope is expressed that at the New
York dinner to Lord Kitchener, who
is thought to have "made a hit with
tho Americans by telling tho Austral
ians to found n military school like
West Point," tho guest will emphasise
tho value of n "lasting cntento be
tween our fleet and theirs."

casting it Uhmi the waters all day long,
to bo gathered up by theme who cared

Farming and fishing wuro aban
doned, and even school was dismissed,
while most of the imputation of tho
nearby Island, men, women ami chil
dren, dovoivd themselves to obtaining
treasures from the waves.

White Star steamship Huevlc, which
went auburn near the Msard In March,
1007, was saved.
Every effort to lighten the ship Is
now Imperatlvo. Today tho waves
beat up too high ntxl lining for tho
tugs to go alongside, Coiiicqueiitly
goods were thrown overboard from tho
forward hold us fast a tho stevedore
could handle them,
Hugo cases, containing automobiles
ami pianos, fallowed ono another over
tho side, striking the water, with a
greut sptanh. Sewing machines ami
clocks went with them, while furniture
floated everywhere.
Many bales of cigarettes covered
tho face of tho water, and tons of cheap
American novels floated to tho nearby
shore of llryhe, where they were piled
like seaweed. t
Tlnlngs of tho Jettlsonlnu of wealth
spread early ami a flotilla of fishing
craft ami luggers scurried to tho scene.
As fast m the cargo hit tbo water,
enterprising boatmen pulled uii thu
smaller rates, while they took tho
larger one In tow,
Tho machinery was taken from the
wreck and stored.
Two hundred ami twrnty.four head
of cattle swam ashore, while ten weni
drowned.
The seamen hero think It will be Im
possible to save the Minnehaha, ami
look for the first strong wind to break
