Valuable Food Product.

Fish powder is the very latest adli-
ton to the list of foods, and it is said
by physicians to be the best and most
nutritive food product in condensed
form that has been discovered. 1t can
be made in the home, with very little
trouble and expense. Any kind of
fresh fish will do. First steam them
in their own moisture, then, after cool
ing and drying the mass obtained, ex-
pose it to the air for short time.
The next step is to shred the fish
and then treat it to a bath of alcohol
and citric acid, that all fat, glue and
mineral matter be removed. After
drying, it must again be boiled, dried
and ground. The result is a kind of
meal or -four which can be utilized
in a great variety of ways, as, for in.
stance. mixing in soups, frying oys-
ters and making omelets. The flour
has neither taste nor smell, and it
will keep indefinitely.

SEARCHING FOR WATER.
Recent Discoveries Made by the United
States Geological Survey.

Recent Discoveries Made by the United
States Geological Survey.
The steady increase in the use of
irrigation in parts Of the west, and the
success which has attended its prac-
tice has naturally led to a close in
spection of large tracts of land which
are now desert wastes in the hope
that they may also be brought under
cultivation. Many thousands of acres
of desert land in the arid sections are
remarkably fertile and capable of fur
nishing homes for large populations
which may become centres of thriving
industries if only water, their great
need and absolute necessity, can be
procured. The small annual rainfall
and the still more serious lack of rain
during the critical crop growing
months, have kept these lands as poor
pastures or even barren deserts. For
tunately the arid sections are scanned
by numerous lofty, forest clad and
often snow capped mountain ranges
from which flow the purest streams.
Thus the streams and rivers, and the
underground or artesian well waters
where they exist, have become the
pivotal factors on which rest lne agri-
cultural development of immense sec
tions of the west; their waters must
be brought to the land before it can
be productive.
IN view of these facts the investi-
cations of two parties, among others,
of the United States geological sur
vey, which were engaged in studying
Lne water resources of the northwest,
will be of interest. Professor Israel
c.. Russell who has been working on
the great lava covered section Of
southern Idaho, reports the discovery
of an artesian basin over a hundred
miles in length, whose western limit,
though undermined, lies in the vicinity
of Nampa and Caldwell, near the Ore
gOn border. The land which can be
supplied with water from this basin
lies along the Snake river and in Bru-
neau valley, tributary to the Snake
on the south.
Several flowing wells exist in this
locality already and there are indica-
lions of artesian water also near Sho-
shOne. In connection with his investi-
cations Professor Russell collected a
large amount of information relative
to the agricultural and timber re-
sources of the region which are con
siderable.
The other party, under Mr.. F. H.
Newell, the chief of the division of
photography of the geological survey,
made an extended reconnaissance OF
northern Oregon with reference to the
water supply of that section. They
penetrated into the wilderness of cen.
trail Oregon along and to the head OF
the Deschutes river and turning to the
eastward skiTted the northern portion
of the great Harvey and Malheur des
erts, into which the mountain ranges
to the north send many streams. The
party was much impressed by the op
portunities of development in centra
and eastern Oregon.

No Favorable Action Can be
Hoped For This Session.

Washington, June 11.-The
chances are now against any legis
lation at this session looking to
the establishment of a territorial
form of government for the Indian
Territory. Speaker Henderson
has persistentIy refused to en-
courage friends of the territory to
hope for recognition by him. He
has declined to furnish any reason
for his attitude, other than that
there is too much pressing busi-
ness demanding the attention of
the house.
The position of the speaker is
most disappointing to all the con
gressmen from the west and the
southwest who are particularly
anxious that some action be taken
to relieve the distressing conditions
IN the Indian Territory. The
Moon bill, providing for a terri
torial form Of government for the
territory was approved by the
house committee on territories,
and fayorably reported early in
the session. Since that time it
has been on the calendar, and Mr..
Moon, who has charge Of it, and
Mr. Knox, chairman Of the COM
mite, have used every effort to
secure permission from the speak
er to have the bin considered. II
was allowed to rest for time I'M
til the omnibus statehood bill was
disposed Of, but since that time
frequent requests have been made
Of the speaker to fix a day for the
presentation Of the bill to the
house.
The report on the Moon bill
gives an array of convincing argu
ments in support Of the measure.
1t Is shown that more than 300,-
000 citizens are now residents Of
the territory without school facili
ties for the children, without
means of improving the townsites,
and hampered in every possible
way, leaving them unable to Dc
veIop the wonderfully rich re
sources Of the territory.

at 10 O'Clock last night and again

today that he had about aban

sion. He will make one more
