There is strong hope that the gov
ernment will take hold of the pro-
ject of establishing a reservoir, and
irrigating land north of the Umatilla
river near Echo.
Chief Engineer f. II. Newell of the
reclamation department, is RESPONSE
BILE for the above sentiment. When
seen last evening, following the con-
ference with Messrs. Whistler and
Henny. in which the above project
was discussed, the chief engineer said
that ii is now toss-up as to whether
the Malheur or the east Umatilla
project will be taken up first by the
reclamation department. According
to him, 1t is the desire of the service
TO take up but one large enterprise
in one state at a time. Consequently.
II the difficulties that are now block
ing the Malheur project are not soon
removed, the work here viii probably
be taken up.
According 20 Mr.. Newell, the land
near here is more desirable for recla-
matte because of the fact that the
growing season is longer than in NAL
hem, Innd also because there is less
alkali in the soil AS a result the
land viii be more valuable when re-
claimed, and consequently there will
be less haggling over the cost per
acre of reclaiming than there has
been in Malheur.
AS to whether or not the govern
ment will undertake the work here
will rest largely with the land owners
of the section to be reclaimed. ac-
eording to Mr.. Newell. The opportu-
nifty is now open to them, and IL they
desire to have the project taken up
by the government they should now
come forward.
The following from an interview
given the East oregonlan several
weeks ago by ]. #. Whistler, shows
the scope of the east Umatila pro-
sect, and what 1t would accomplish.
'"An excellent small project exists
or the east side of the Umatila river
below Echo. This region has gener-
ally been conceded by the service to
belong largely 90 the field of private
interests, since several enterprises are
already under process of construction
or are contemplated. The reclama-
ton service, however. has worked out
a plan Cor a feasible project of from
$4,000 10 10000 acres. The greater
part OF the land coming under the
project is either patented or entered
upon, and therefore the reclamation
service can only present the plans
proposed TO the people interested for
their acceptance or rejection.
THE general plan proposed Is 20
divert water from the Umatilla by a
feed canal between 15 and 20 miles
long into what is called Cold Springs
reservoir site. A dam there to hold
the water 30 feet deep will impound
a sufficient supply alone for $4,000
acfes About $4,000 acres Of good
lard is estimated to lie under the res
eryoir, and by using one irrigation in
the spring direct from the river It is

that they are something to make the
sheepmen smile. For lambs, which
is about all there is to be had, as
yearlings are scarce, 1t is said that
the price has been ranging between
50 and s2,25, while In some instan-
ces select bands that are all ready
for market, have brought as high as
$3.50.
At present there is quite a corps
of buyers in town, mostly from Mon
tana, Dakotas and Minnesota. OF
these some, such as Messrs. Town and
Prouty, are after fine wool sheep,
while others, among whom is R. F.
Bicknell, OF Chicago, stock sheep are
wanted. Mr.. Bicknell has now been
in the city for several days, and dur
ing that time has been busy among
the local growers.

1t must be admitted that Mr. Joubert was right.
White: Can you give any other instance?"
Joubert: On page I45 of my last book stated
that the Grand Duke Sergius had offended the
Executive Committee of the Revolutionary Party
August 70, 1904. My words were:
He was given the choice of three alternatives mend
his WAYS TO resign or to make his peace with God at the
earliest opportunity He appears have given the
his consideration and have made up his mind
that he is prepared his God He has therefore
to take his choice Of the first two courses.
''You will admit that the Grand Duke Sergius
has resigned"
White "A third instance, if you please"
Toubert 4 stated on page 2II that the ap-
pointment of Prince Svatopolk Mirsky to the office
of Minister of the Interior repugnant to the
Empress Dagmar; that he would not lend himself
to her schemes and that he would decline to vacil
late with his royal master I added: 1t is there
fore improbable that his tenure of Office will last
long You will admit that Mirsky has departed.
White: ''Now, with these evidences of your skill
as a seer in the past, you hazard some Predc-
tions a to the near future.
Toubert Yes. The coming event IS the dra-
matte complete and irretrievabe collapse OF kuro-

White: This is a serious statement. Have
you evidence?"

produce it when l challenged. Russia,
repeat is bankrupt, and the conduct of the
rich Jews in supporting Nicholas AleXandrovitch
is inexcusable. Mendelssohn, S Bleichroeder.
the "Berliner Handles Gesellschaft, Lippmann
and Rosenthal & Co. have helped Russia with
her war loans. What would that great philan-
thropst and philosopher, Moses Mendessohn have
said had he known that his descendants would
find the money to uphold that Czardom which
has murdered and oppressed the Jewish race
for generations, and whose representative to-day
is seeking to extirpate Israel from Russian soil?
They have condoned Kishineff and forgiven
Gonel. Jewish blood split like water at
Kief Kharkoff Yaroslaf and Smealah with
the connvance of the Cars officials, and yet the
rich ews of Europe have underwritten loans to help

serve order in the cities of the Pale and to kill Chris

influence of the Hebrew money-enders in retarding
freedom in Russia will never be forgotten
White: But what about the revolution?"
Toubert: The revolution IS not a muzhik revo-
luton, but the muzhiks will join in. They will get
their land They will be relieved from their debts
Every teegraph-pole will have It's head, and every
tree will be garnshed with the bodies OF men who
have ground the muzhik down"
White: This IS not Tolstoian doctrine; 1t IS
a bloody creed OF violence"

men who guide the revolutionary movement; but

tSecond-Upon the question of re-
vision of the tariff. I am not tariff
ripper neither a tstandpatter.' NO
man can say whether a general re-
vision Of the tariff is necessary with
out full investigation OF the entire
subject in the light of existing BUSH
ness conditions. 1t is apparent l think
that some articles of manufacture are
unduly protected and that modifica-
lions should be made in the schedule
of rates affecting them. 1t is also APP
parent that a belief is prevalent in
many quarters that some revision of
the tariff should be made. The repub-
lican party, with it's large majority in
both houses Of congress can, in my
take the matter up, investi-
gate it, and make such adjustment as
may be required, if any, to meet the
changed conditions of business. 1t can
do this without injuriously affecting
the commerce of the country. 1t is
not only a matter of political exped-
iency but of right as well, that an hon
est and thorough investigation be
made. Yours very truly,
'B. p. BIRDSALL."
