Secretary of War Delivers Eulogy to
Civil War Hero at Dedication of
National Memorial Spirit of '61
Caught uo By Heroes of the Great
War. ,
WASHINGTON, May 15. "Tho
dedication of the national memoriu
at Arlington closes nnd commits to
history a great episode' in tho making
of the nation," President Wilson said
in a messuge read at the dedication
ceremonies today bv Secretary
War Baker.
Gathered into this national ceme
tery, nnd elsewhere," tho presiden
said, "uve most of the men who fou:
out Iho constitutional ciuestions
solublo by other processes, nnd now
the government has set this great and
beautiful building to stand like i
sentinel on the banks of the Potomn
md to view fcr :.l' time the capital
of tho re-united nation.
"Time has thrown its softening in
fluences over tho controversy. Time
has eliminated from our memories the
bitterness which that controversy
aroused, but time has only served to
magnify tho heroic valor of the cup
tains and men who fought the great
fight. As the nation arose-, re-united,
it found itself blessed with a great
tradition, in these Inter days, that
tradition has nerved the arms of mil
lions of Americans called upon to
vindicate upon foreign fields of bat
tio tho principles of political liberty.
Who shall sav whence the strcnuth
came of these matchless men? From
every corner of our great country
they came with one thought, that of
devotion, to the pure purposo . for
which their country called them. Thev
lived among our allies and faced the-
foe as soldiers" from the new world
should. Conscious of their strength.
confident of their cause, alike tinse'.
fish and unconquerable. And I like
to think that in our hour of triumph,
unseen, but potent, there stood beside
them the spirits of the great dead, the
spirits of, those who originally rescue
America lrom tne political tyrannies
of the old world and dedicated nud
kept her free nnd just.
I cannot attend the ceremony of
this dedication, but mv heart is there,
nnd with mv fellow countrymen every
where, I join in grateful recognition
of the virtues which this memorial
commemorates and in reverent thanks
to the God of nations that He has
made it possible for us in this day to
show the world that America is still
baptised with the spirit of her found
ers and builders.
IS
The Seattle Presbytery, he said, de
clares that the expenditures of the
Intcr-C'hurch World movement arc ex
cessive, needless nnd destructive."
Seattle, supported bv the Presby
teries of Riverside, Cut., and others,
he said, declares that "the New a
committee would be more effective
and efficient if its operations were
under the immediate direction of the
boards of the Presbyterian church.
The objectors will nlso ask for "n
limit of nnthorilv and for a limit on
the committee's expense."

National Foreign Trade Council Urges
Signinq Peace Treaty With Proper
Safeguards, Without Further Delay
Establishing Trade With Foreign
Nations on Permanent Basis N
perative Favor Also Buying Goods
From Europe.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 15.-A
treaty of peace safeguarding every
fundamental principle of tho govern
ment of the United States and pro
tecting the rights of American citizens
should be effected without delay, it
was declared bv tho seventh annual
convention of the National Foreign
Trade council here today. This wni-
one of the principles of the national
program for foreign trade adopted bv
this convention of 2,500 leaders of
foreign trade in tho fourth and clos
ing session of the convention.
Other principles in the prognm
were as follows'
The United States as a creditor na
tion should afford to other nations
every fair and reasonable opportunity
to sell their products to us, espec
ially of raw materials without detri
ment to existing industries.
Kverv proper measure should be de
vised to encourage our manufacturers
and producers to exercise tho full em
ployment of all their facilities.
Tho government should maintain,
as a principle of foreign policy that
American enterprise abroad is entitled
to the same measure of protection
from the government of the country
where domiciled that foreign enter
prises domiciled in the United States
receive from this government..
Discriminatory Tariff
Our merchant mnrino should revert
as soon ns practicable entirely to
private ownership and operation ns
contemplated by the act creating the
shipping oard. We urge that legis
lation be passed promptly providing
for the sale of government owned ton
nage on terms uniform to all havers
having regard to the current cost of
building vessels of similar type and
tonnage in American shipyards. Un
sold ships should be chartered at cur
rent market rates for world tonnnge
without restriction ns. to trade routes.
To insure eiiunlity of treatment the
American tariff, whutcver the under
lying principle should provido for ad
ditional duties on imports from na
tions discriminating, by tariffs or
administration practces, against the
trade of the United States.
Conditions of communication with
foreign countries are intolerable. The.
delays in foreign cables and mail
hamper coiniiicrco and greatly in
crease the cost and risk of doin:
business. Additional cable facilities
and the extension of wireless tele
graph service are imperative.
J'hc state department should have
adequate and competent representa
tion in all lands.
LOW TEST GASOLINE
BREAKS THE FAMINE
PORTLAND, Ore., Mav 15. Large

ity. The Oregon law, suspended bv
Governor Olcott to meet the emer
gency, requires a specific gravity of
fifty-six. degrees in gasoline sold in

Commercial cars will bo given full
supplies and pleasure cars will be al
owed fifty per cent tank capacity nt

OF
Contracts wore signod this morn
ing by tho board of directors ot the
Modford Irrigation District and tho
Roguo River Canal Co. for tho sale
of $1,250,000 of district 0 per cent
gold bonds at 99 and for the complete
installation of a system of irrigation
works to bo completed in time for
tho irrigation season of 1921 for ton
thousand acres of lancV. Water will
bo dollvered to tho district from Four
Mile and Fish lakes as well ns from
tho stream flows of Bear Creek and
Little Butto creek.
President Carpenter of the Med
ford Irrigation District in summariz
ing the results of moro than three
years of constant work upon the pro
ject by the board of directors, gave
the following interview: "The con
tract upon which the irrigation sys
tem is to bo built is intho opinion
of tho board of directors and of our
engineers very favorable Tho dis
trict has been protected to the satis
faction of the state engineer who has
cooperated most heartily with us and
given us much valuable advice as
well as to the satisfaction ot our ex
ports. Every step has been taken
with extreme care and we feel that
our landowners will be using water
for their 1921 crops. The dams nt
Fish and Four Milo lakes are to be
built this summer and completed in
time to impound tho run-oft waters
of next wintor. The east and weHt
side canals are to be completed by
January 1, 1921. The main canal
above Bradshaw drop will bo worked
over and enlarged as soon after tho
present irrigation season as possiblo
and this with tho distribution system
will bo completed by May 1, 1921.
Under the terms of tho contract the
canal company is to furnish suffic
ient water to the district to insure
one und six-tenths feet of water to
each acre during the irrigation season
witli tho maximum amount during I
Juno and July. This will be the
actual amount delivered for the Iossca
are to be taken care of by the seller
The district will own outright its
proportional interest in both reset
voirs nnd all the works to Bradshaw
drop and the whole svstcm below the
drop. Its water is protected dining
years of shortage and a full irriga
tion even during the worst years i
an ticipalcd.
With the bond market so low that
many projects arc temporarily forced
to lie quiescent, we feci jubilant upon
tho price of 99 at which our bonds
have been sold. The price per acre
of $110 which the contractor has
made it not too high when the qua I
it y of the work which he must supply
under the specifications is considered
Above all else the directors arc
pleased that under this project it whs
possible to allow all of those who
did not wish water to withdraw; Since
this action was taken inclusion pt
titions to the number of almost a
lozen have been filed with tho score
tarv, praying for admission into the
district. It is the policy of the hoard
to allow so mtioji additional acreage
to come in as will bring the total up
to 10,000 acres. There are some
thing over 9.000 acres included at
present.
Looking upon the effects of tlu-
vcry limited number of ucros which
have hitherto been irrigutcd in tin
Itngue River Valley, it is not too much
to suv that prosperity of a substnn
tiul character will follow the appli
cation of water to some 5,000 acres
of our best orchards and un addi
tional 5,000 of our very best farm
lands."
C. A. Malone, chief engineer for
the California-Oregon Power Co. has
