Colombia Is Alarmed Over Probable Sue
cess of Nicaragua.
Panama, Aug. 18.-Letters received
from Bogota say that up to August l
the Panama canal commission had
held only one meeting on account of
the disgust Of members with the action
of Senator Perez y Soto, who insi sted
on recalling the treaty at the first
meeting. Senator Obaldia, a warm
supporter of the treaty, has had several
conferences with President Marroouin
and United States Minister Beauprie.
and notwithstanding their efforts the
committee could not be induced to re-
port in favor of ratifcations. Amend
ments have been offe,e which seem to
meet the approval of 20 senators out of
"a. ..-
Both the house of representatives
and the senate are deeply impressed
with the persistent rumors which reach
Bcgota of the possibility of move-
ment for the secession of the isthmus
if this treaty is not ratified. The fear
that such an eventuality might follow;
failure to ratify the treaty appears to
constitute the only chance or favola-
BILE action on she treaty.

FRAUD IN CITY OFFICE.

New York Has Lost $1,000, 900. In Her
Water Department.
New York, Aug. 18.-Evidence of
fraud by which the city has lost sums
sggregating almost 81, 1000, 1000, have
been obtained by Water Commissioner
Monroe. Three inspectors in the wat
er department are under suspicion.
One probably will be called upon to
face charges within a few days. The
facts disclosed are said to show gross
carele sness. if nothing worse, on the
part OF many trusted employees of the
water department. In some cases
there is the strongest circumstantial
evidence of collusion between consum:
ers of water and employees of the de-
partment, whereby the former appar-
emily have been allowed to use ali the
water they required in their business
and, on the payment of merely nomi-
nal fees. instead of the price fixed by
ordinance.

HAPPENINGS HERE in OREGON

Prune Growers of willamette Valley Pro-
pose to Organize Company.
At meeting of prune growers held
in Salem a few days ago, movement
was started for the organization of a
mutual insurance company, for the in
surance OF, prune dryers. The growers
were, agreed that the insurance COM
panies charge too high a rate Of pre-
MUM for this class Of risks, and that
the cost would be greatly reduced by
cooperative action. A committee to
report plan of organization was ap-
pointed, consisting of John Pemberton,
chairman, Rosedale; w. S. Wright,
Roseburg; Augustus High, Vancouver;
A. Shiber. Philomath; Mr.. Blanchard,
Salem; H. S. Gile, Salem; H. J. Eur
cher, Liberty. .....
1t is intended that the insurance as
sociation shall accept members
throughout Oregon and Washington,
and transact a general business only
on prune dryers and warehouses. The
new organization will have no connec-
ton with any of the other prunegrow.

Italy Expects War.

Rome, Aug. 19.-The memorandum
of the Bulgarian government to the
powers regarding the situation in Ma
cedonia has produced great effect
here. The general impression is that
the Bulgarian government is no longer
able to hold back popular feeling,
which. unless it is repressed in time,
will lead to a war with Turkey. The
fate OF Bulgaria in that event, it is
thought, would probably be the same
as that of Greece in the last war with
Turkey. The Italian government is ex-
changing views with Vienna and London

ARMY WANTS PLACE.
Holds That Some General Should Be on
Philippine Board.

Philippine Board.
Washington, Aug. 20.-There is q
good deal of speculation in army cir.
cles here upon the effect of impending
change in the war department. Nat.
urally, attention is directed mainly to-
ward the Philippines. where active con-
struction work remains to be done.
This fact. it is assumed, lies at the bot
tom of the presidents selection of Gov
ernor Taft as successor to Mr.. Root.
That Secretary Taft and Lieutenant
Governor Wright, who is expected to
succeed Taft, will be able to carry for
ward without break the civil work be-
gun by Secretary Root and Governor
TAFT is taken for granted.
Less clear is the prospect for the
purely military service that remains
to be done in the archi pelago under the
new regime. One of the most import
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 bs
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 a
general of the line. It is suggested
also that the military member should
become ex-officio minister of war in the
insuIar cabinet.

cloHdburst Does Great Damage In Kan
sas and Nebraska.
Fairbury, Neb., Aug. 1s.-Details
have been received here of a cloudburet
along the Nebraska K ansas line for
about eight miles. Two clouds appar.
emily met. and for an hour the water
fell in sheets. Estimates of the down.
pour are all the way from foot to
three feet. The water swept down
Dry Branch and Silver creeks, that are
usually dry at this season of the year,
taking everything before it. More than
1000 trees were taken out by the
roots, and barns. corn CRIBS. grain and
hay stacks, several droves of hogs and
many head of cattle were swept away
with the food.
Not q bridge remains on Silver creek
and bat one on Dry Branch. The resi-
denees were all built on high ground.
which accounts for the fact that no
lives were lost, although there wero
several narrow escapes.

TREATY DEFEATED
COLOMBIAN SENATE TURNS DOWN
CANAL BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
Peoples Hopes of Better Times are Shat
tered for Time Being-Presldent Can
Now Turn to Nicaragua Route, But
Will Probably Make Another Effort
to Acquire Panama Right of Way.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Of6cial in
formation was received today that tn,
Colombian senate had unanimously re
jected the Hay-Herran canal treaty
This means more delay in providins
the waterway the Pacific coast so earn
estly desires. 1t is blow, and g
hard one, too, to the Colombians who
have invested in real estate on the sup.
position that the treaty would be rati.
fed. The non-success of the treaty
would seem to vindicate the advocates
OF the Nicaragua scheme. The Panama
canal proposition has served it's purpose
in postponing for three or four years
any actual work on a canal. The neeo-
tiations tnat have been pending so long
between the United States and Colon.
bia must now be transferred to Mica
ragua and Costa Rica. 49,
Before the United States took up
Panama, and while it had never com.
mitted itself to the Panama route, it
might have been able to have made sat-
isfactory arrangements with Nicaragua
and Costa Rica. Now that the United
States is shut out Of Colmobia, the de.
mands OF Nicaragua and Costa Rica
will, no doubt. be largely increased, as
that is the only route left under the
present arrangement.
There is talk about the province of
Panama seeding from Colombia, and
establishing itself as separate state.
in which event it could negotiate q
treaty with the United States for a
canal. That may be introduced as an
other element of delay in canal con.
struction, which will be on a par with
the subterfuges that have been used for
many years to prevent anything being
done. Under the law the president
can at once begin negotiations with
Nicaragua and Costa Rica, but some
time ago he gave an intimation that
the United States, by negotiations
with the Panama canal company and
Colombia, had acquired certain rights
q the canal property. This did no
good. SO far as Indicating that an at
'empt might be made to enforce the
lights regardless of the adoption of the |
reaty by the Colombian government.
IT'LL, there was an intimation that the |
colombian congress was not all-power.
U! In settling the canaal question.
The administration has for long
lme been most favorable toward the
'anama canal as against Nicaragua,
nd there is possibility that the Pana-
na canal route will not be given up
Without another effort on the part oil
he United States government to Sc.
ure the construction of the canal at
hat point on the isthmus.

PeFin, Aug. ,1s.-The report that

can government to arbitrate all oues-
tions arising over the Russian occu pam
cy of Manchuria is discredited here.
1t is believed that both of these powers
have already arrived at mutual under.
standing on the subject. although upon
what terms none of the foreign leea-
tions have as yet been able to ascertain.
America is generally considered one of

sibIy be asked to arbitrate in this

SINKS A CRUISER.
Empress of India Coilides With a Chi

Hong Kong, Aug. 20.-The Canadian
Pacific steamer Empress of India. from
Vancouver, B. c., July 27, and Yoko-
hama. August 10, for Hong Kong, col
lided ne this port today with the Chi
nese cruiser Huang Tai. The warship
sank an hour after the collision. The
Empress of India saved ITO of the crew
of the cruiser. Ths captain of the
Huang Tai, who refused to leave his
ship, and Is of her crew were drowned.
The Empress of India was badly dam
aged amidships.
The Huang Tai was tender to the
naval engineering college of the South
ern Chinese squadron at Nanking.
She was of 2l10 tons displacement, 26O
feet long, 36 feet beam and drew 20
feet of water. The cruiser was built in

WATERING OF KLArlATn.
Only a Very Small Portion of That Grea,
County Cultivable.


Prof. F. L. Kent of the Oregon Agri
cultural college, has just returned
to Corvallis from a visit of months
duration to the irrigated regions ot
klamath county, where he gave spec
ial attention to the methods of apply.
ing water, the kind of crops grown,
and the extent of the irrigable area OF
that section of the state.
klamath county has an area of
about $500 square miles, nearly as
great as the state of Massachusetts,.
OF this area competent engineers es-
innate that not more than 100 square
miles, or about 21a per cent of the
whole, can be brought under irriga-
tion systems, and produce cultivated
crops. Perhaps 1 per cent more is
available for irrigation, but for various
reasons is only adapted to to the grow
ing of the native grasses, which are
used mainly for hay.

FOR NAVY YARD.
Puget Sound Will Ask for an Appropria-

| tion of $422, 800.
Washington, Aug. l8.-The navy
department has received the annual
recommendations and estimates of the
officials of the Puget sound navy yard
asking for an appropriation, at the
next session of congress, of 1922, 800
for the erection of new buildings and
the purchase of new tools and ma
chinery.
In addition it is strongly recon-
mended that congress authorize the
early construction of a second drydock.
"of such dimensions as will accommo-
date the largest warship likely ever to
be stationed on the Pacific coats"
Upon these recommendations Secre-
tary Moody will later base his final es-
Inmates that are sent to congress, and
while he will no doubt make some
aiteratlons, and possibly some reduc-
tlons, 1t is believed that in the main
ne Will approve the recommendations
OF the Puget sound officers.
In pointing out the necessity for a
drydock larger than that now in use.
Naval Constructor 81. D. Wright eays
the past develompent of the yards and
the increased business that is sure to
follow the completion of extensions
now in progress is such as to render
one dock inadequate. Within two
years the amount of repair work to be
done at Bremerton will have increased
to such proportions that another dock
Will be necessary to accommodate the
ships. No estimate of the coet of such
q dock is submitted, although if the
department approves the suggestion
an estimate will probably be made be-
lors congress convenes. s.

accepted. The trial wac held outside
of Newport in sea described as from
smooth to rough. The boat was
handled under the direction of the
board of inspection and survey. She
not only maintained her contract speed
of % knots an hour, but at times made
20 knots and over.
