BAKER IRRIGATION SCHEME
SOON BE PUT UNDER
CULTIVATION.
Electrical Power Being Used to Raise
Water From Large Number
of Wells.

General Passenger Agent a. L. Craig
and Advertising Agent R. NJ. Hall of
the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company, recently made trip to Ba-
ker City and inspected the new cleo
tric irrigation plant established near
that city recently by w. j. Patterson.
While in Walla Walla yesterday Mr..
Hall spoke very enthusiastically of the
a great success. There are about 1000
acres of arid lands in that section OF
the country which are to be reclaimed
by the new process. At present well
is being sunk on each 40 acre tract and
in every instance a good flow of water
has been developed. The water is to
be raised by the use of large pumps.
which Will be operated by electrical
power furnished from the plant in Ba-
ker City.
Patterson has a tract of land about
70 miles from Baker City, and he has
so acres of it in oats, which he intends
to irrigate by the electrical process.
He has dug a we'll at the highest point
on the land and from that he will pump
water out on the land. There is an
inexhaustible supply of water flowing
down deep underground, but the source
of this supply is not high enough to
force it TO the surface. Mr. Patterson

cision in Land Contest.

the exposed interests of another party
which has no available force at hand.
A few years ago it was the common
understanding that British vessels
should protect American interests in
South American ports where the Unit
ed States had no warshipS and that
the United States gunboats should look
after British interests exposed in the
same way.
The state department has received
assurance through Mr.. Gummere, who
had it from the British consul at Fee,
that the sultan of Morocco will accede
to all of Raisuli's terms. The bandits
demand that Great Britain and the
United States shall guarantee the Y g
cution of the sultAn's promises, how
ever, is the sticking point, and this
probably can be got around only by
the acceptance of this obligation by
Great Britain or France or ONE other
country not so strongly bound as the
United States by its traditions not to
~entangle itself in the internal affairs of
other countries. 1t is stated positively
that under no conditions can the Unit
ed States government execute these
guarantees.
A Tangier report says:
"The sultan's letter in reply to the
diplomatic representations made in re-
gard to the kidnapping of Messrs. Perdi-
carts and Marley has arrived here.
THE authorities assert that the raid
made by armed Aniera tribesmcn on
the home of an Englishman here, dur
ing which they obtained several rifles,
was only Il common robbery and had
no political significance.
Rear Admirals Jewell and Chadwick
visited the British battleship Prince OF
Wales and We're received with the Gus
tomary honors."
The navy department has received a
cablegram from Rear Admiral Chad
wick, at Tangier, to the effect that he
has been Informed that Perdicaris and
his stepsOn, Marley, are in need of
medical assistance and that the consul
general has sent to Raisuli to inquire
whether Il surgeon will be given safe
conduct.
