Oregon Irrigation sites Don't Look Ooo4
70 Newell.
Washington, Aug. ga In his frat
annual report, made public today, +.
II. Newell, chief Of the government re-
clamation service. reviewing conditions
in Oregon, says:
"The localities where irrigation
work can proceed with the grea est ad-
vantage have been selected already By
the state under the Carey act, and it il
not desiYab to forestall state action in
the matter. Preliminary examinations
made 50 iar-up to December 31-show
that most OF the reclamable land Is 20
situated that the projects must Be-
small and scattered, and little vacant
public land can be benefited. further
examinations will doubtless reveal
many localities where work can be be-
gun to advantage and persistent search
will justify the expenditure Of consider
able sums in construction of storage
and diversion works
This presumption. it may be- added,
has apparently been justified, judging
from the large number oil Withdrawals
made under the irrigation act il Eaat-
ern Oregon during the past six months.
Mr.. Newell recognizes the Justice Of
making expenditures in Oregon in view
of the large contributions OF the state
to the reclamation fund. 'sOn the 9TH
er hand. " be says, the demand for
and immediate necessity Of reclamation
works are not particularly noticeable.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-There il 4
good deal of speculat on in army cir

ward the Philippines. where active con.

ant subjects for consideration by the
new general staff of the army concerns
military affairs in the Philippines.
which should be provided in the way
of transportation, Capitalization and
specific administration, with especial
view to prompt and effective action in
case of an uprising too large to be
handled by any but federal troops.
In private conversation more than
one officer OF rank has expressed the
opinion that it would be wise for the
administration. when Taft is succeeded
by Wright, to fill the vacancy on the
Philippine commission by appointing
general of the line. Il is suggested
also that the military member should
become ex-offcio minister Of war in the

that she was more than mile astern,
