For more than week I. g. HALEY
has been in Salem working In the
interest of the reclamation law over
which there has been a strong fight.
In speaking of the prospects for
the bill Senator Pierce yesterday gave
all the credit to Mr.. HALEY for the
work that is being done In favor OF
the measure. During the past week
he has made a most phenomenal
fight" said Senator Pierce, "and had
1t not been for him, l do not believe
the bill would be reported TO the
house from committee. As II Is II
looks as If 1t would be reported to-
day"
According to Mr.. Pierce, the rec
lamation measure has SO far been
opposed by very powerful senator
from Eastern oregon and thus the
supporters of the bill have been d.
vided. The opposition of this legis-
lator has been on the ground that
the bill as now proposed Is antagonis-
tic to the mining interests. However,
Mr.. HALEY is said to have won this
gentleman over and II such should
prove to be true the passage Of the
irrigation measure is assured,
Chamberlain Favors the Law.
Representative Chamberlain, who
left for Salem last evening after
spending Sunday at his home In
Athena, Is enthusiastic over the Cole
bill and although there are powerful
influences working against IT, he pc
lieves that It will become law.
The water power and mining COM
panies are making hard fight
against II, as are several of the large
irrigation concerns of the state. Mr..
Chamberlain also believes that but
for the efficient and untiring work
of T. G. Haley secretary of the state
irrigation commission. the bill would
never see the light of day, outside OF
the committee room, but since he has
made such gallant fight for It,
there is every hope that II will be
voted upon. iHau 90
1t is probable that the bin wili be
amended some but its friends hope
not enough to destroy its salient feat
ures. The fight will not be given up
until every member is placed upon
record for or against the measureno.
Mr.. Chamberlain In speaking pf the
session In general. says II is one of the
most practical and business-likeo ever
assembled in the state and that while
there has been much able discussion
the parties do not 'line up on parti-
san vote, on any measure. Business

TORPEDO EFFICIENCY.

The evolution of the automobile torpedo con-
tinues, though forty years have elapsed since
it was first made practical success. The late
Robert Whitehead deserves more credit for the
DEVELOPMENT of the invention than any one
else; for he was not only pioneer, but he con-
tributed more useful details TO its design than
others who worked on the same problems as he
did. Yet there was chance for improving upon
even Whitehead's latest work. The United
States government has adopted torpedo which
Is distinctly superior to his in speed and range.
It will travel faster by about eight knots an
hour, and run almost twice as far before stop
ping. Compressed air supplies the motive power.
as It does to the Whitehead, but the air is
utilized by different type Of engine from that
hitherto employed. turbine has been intro
duced into the aerial. or rocket, torpedo within
the last year or two, but we believe 1t has never
until now been applied to the propulsion Of the
marine missile.
The chief gain which has been effected is in the
distance at which fighting with torpedoes may
be conducted. This probably does not yet equal
that at which damage can be done by the small
calibre rapid fire guns used by big ships to
repei an attack by torpedo boats. The gain,
however, Is on the side OF the assailant, and
materially enhances his efficiency. Another ad-
vantage which the new American torpedo is
said TO possess Is that It can be launched sue
cessfuIly from large vessels through tubes dis
charging below the water line. Unsatisfactory
results have attended the practice in the past,
and It was found necessary TO launch torpedoes
from the deck II the claim now made for
the latest candidate for favor Is well founded,
there will doubtless be return to the use of
submerged tubes by battleships and cruisers,
although concerning the expediency of equip
ping 8 big vessel for torpedo service at all
there is room for q difference Of opinion.
