Reclamation Service Promises Atten-
ton to Its Project.
Washington, May 15.-The Reclama-
tion service has received resolution
passed by the Commercial club of Kit
titas county, Washington asking that
it make careful and speedy survey
and investigation of the feasibility of
the construction of high line canal
for the purpose of reclamation and cul-
tivation of abouts 100, 600 acres of Hand
in that county, which are fertile in the
production of all kinds of hay, grain,
fruit and vegetables, including sugar
beets. It is urged that the irrigation
of this large body of land will result in
effecting storage OF the water so used
for lands below in the Yakima valley,
for the reason that all the water so
used naturally drains back into the
Yakima river.
The Reclamation service states that
it fully recognizes the great Importance
of the Yakima project to Kittitas coun-
ty, and that careful investigation to
determine its feasibility from an engin-
eering as well as from a financial stand
point will be made.

Immediately by the canal commission

Recently the personnel of the COM
mission was changed and the offices at
Washington, D. c., were also removed
from one place to another. In the
confusion that resulted the coast cities
failed to get blank proposals early
enough to compete for the lumber or
ders, which alone amount to more than
$500, 900 at conservative estimate. A
dispatch was received by Secretary
Burks, of the chamber of commerce,
from Washington, which said:

DEAD NUMBER ONE HUNDRED.
Twice as Many Injured by Tornado
at Snyder, Oklahoma.

Snyder. Okla, May 12.-Approxi-
mately 100 people were killed in the
tornado which visited Snyder and vi
cinity, and as many more were injured.
The havoc wrought by the tornado is
complete. Out of town of 1 900 peo-
pie not more than score of houses are
intact, while two-thirds OF the build
ings are totally wrecked.
The most pressing need is financial.
Organization was perfected among the
citizens today, and appeals sent out to
leading cities of the territory asking for
immediate assistance. In addition to
the many injured who are being cared
for at the hospital, many sustained
lesser injuries and are incapacitated for
the work of caring for those who are in
need of assistance.
Hundreds of inquiries have been
pouring in all day from relatives and
friends of Snyder people in all parts of
the country, severely taxing the capac-
ity of the telegraph office. With the
removal of the injured to other points,
the strain upon the people of Snyder
will be greatly reduced.
The property loss is variously esti-
mated at from $500, 900 to $4OO, ,OOo-
Two hundred residences were demolish-
ed, and about half the business build
ings are practically total loss. The
remainder are more or less damaged
The Hilton, the largest hotel in town,
remains intact, and a portion of the
building was used for an emergency
hospital.

FIGHTING MoRoS.
American Troops Siay 500 Members
Of Outlaw Band.


Manila, May 16. - Fierce fighting
has been going on the last few weeks
on the island of Jolo, between the out
law chief Pala, with 800 we'll armed
followers, and troops under the per-
sonal command of Major General Leon
ard Wood. Pala's losses thus far are
800 killed, while those of General
Wood are seven killed and 10 wounded.
Pala and his remaining followers, in
accordance with Moro tradition, prefer
death to capture.
Pala was noted slave trader and
warrior when the Americans occupied
the islands. Later he escaped with his
followers to the island of Pula Sekar,
near Borneo. One of Pala's leaders de-
serted and took refuge on the British
settlement at Lahad. Pala, discover
ing his whereabouts, landed with fol-
lowing and demanded of the British
magistrate that he turn the deserter
over to him. The demand was not
complied with, and Pala ordered a
massacre. Twenty-Five persons, includ-
ing several British, were killed.

SHORT NOTICE ON BIDS.
Canal Commission Allows the Coast
but a Few Days.

San Francisco, May ia great stir
was created today among San Francisco
me. chants when it was ascertaind that
the Isthmian Canal commission will
open bids May 16 and 10 for supplies,
the contract prices for which will easily
aggregate 81 1000, 900. One commodity
lumber, rough and dressed-will call
for the expenditure of more than $780,
900 alone. In all, 26, 900, 900, feet of
lumber are needed at once. The other
supplies range all through many lines,
and in all instances the quantities de-
manded are large.
For several days the wires between
San Francisco and Washington have
been kept busy carrying dispatches
from San Francisco asking for blank
proposals. Wednesday last there were
no lumber proposals in the city, and no
one here knew what the commission
wished to buy in that line, and conse-
quently no bids could be framed.
Local merchants say the entire coast
has been shabbily treated, and loud
wall has gone up. Today there was q
rush for proposals to supply, among
other commodities, steam pumps and
pipes, hydrants and water meters, fire
extinguishers, linen hose and hose
reels, equipments for bridge gangs,
railroad tools and supplies, foundry
supplies. betting, roofing, wagons and
SO on through list of hundreds of ar.
ticles.
Both the chamber of commerce and
the Manufacturers and Producers
association have requested Major Gal.
lagher, the purchasing agent at Wash.
ington, D. c., for the Canal commits
sion, to extend the date for making the
proposals.

Supplies fOf Panama Canal To Be
Bought in Open Market.
ESTIMATED SAVING so Per CENT
Great Outcry Expected if Purchases
Are Not Limited to Amer
ican Products.

Washington, May 16.-The executive
committee of the Isthmian Canal COM
mission today decided to purchase in
the markets of the world material and
ships necessary for the building of the
Panama canal.
This important decision was reached
with some reluctance, because it was
appreciated by Secretary Taft and the
executive committee that there would
be surely great outcry from two great
interests in this country, the producers
of material and the shipowners, if the
purchases were not limited to the
American products.
But it was decided that the money
consideration was so great that it could
not be ignored, for it was held that in
some cases fully so per cent more
would be charged for material needed
in canal construction than the same
goods could be procured for in Europe.
Chief Engineer Wallace, for in
stance, showed that two ships, IN ad-
dition to the ones running between
New York and Colon and owned by the
Panama Railway company, were abso-
lutely necessary to carry the food sup
ply and material needed for the work.
No American ship could be bought at
any reasonable price, and when it came
to building ships, 1t was found. accord
ing to Mr.. Taft's statement, that, while
he can buy two 2,600-ton ships in Eu-
rope for $3.50, 1000, it would cost ST.
400, 900 to build such ships here. And,
in addition, while the European ships
could be had at once, it would take at
least 18 months to secure American
boats.
As to material needed for canal con-
struction, the committee decided that
by reserving to itself the right to pur.
chase in the worlds markets, it would
at least oblige American manufacturers
to give them tt benefit of their foreign
,rices if they wish to sell goods to the
commission.
Mr.. Taft explained today that he fell
obliged to indorse this decision. be-
cause, having given congress every op
: portunity to give contrary decision
he felt that the very terms of the cana
! act provided that it should be con
structed at the lowest possible cost.
President Roosevelt entertained a
luncheon today Mr.. Taft and Messrs
Shonts, Wallace and Magoon, ,-constitut
ing the executive committee. He EN-
braced the opportunity thus afforded t.
have general talk with the member
of the committee about canal matter
J before they sailed for Panama. Th'
, committee went to New York tonigh
! to attend tomorrow's meeting of tn
, directors of the Panama Railroad com
!. pany and will sail Immediately there
, after for the isthmus of Panama.

Vice President Coming to Portland as
Representative of President.
Washington, May 15.-vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks intended to leave for
his Indiana home last night to spend
the next two months with his family,
but he received word that the president
wanted to see him, and called at the
White house at IL: 80 today. The
president told him of his deep interest
in the Lewis and Clark exposition and
his regret that he himself could not
attend the opening of it. He said,
however, that the administration
should be represented. and to his mind
nothing would be more appropriate
than that the second official of the ma
tion should represent the president on
that occasion. MI. Fairbanks prompt
ly fell in with the presidents sugges-
tion, and expressed his thorough will
ingness to go to Portland, and has now
changed his plans SO as to reach Port
land the last week in May. He and
Mrs. Fairbanks will be present and
participate in the opening ceremonies
The vice president will make the prin-
cipal speech of the occasion.
Being unable to get to Portland eithe,
at the opening of the exposition or latei
in the summer, the president has &C.
cepted the invitation extended to him
by President Goode to press the buttor
which will be the signal for the forma
opening of the exposition, at / O'CLOCK
on the afternoon of June THAT is,
o'clock Portland time, o'clock Wash
ington time. A special through tele
graph wire will be run from the Eas
room of the White house into the ex
position grounds at Portland. At th'

key which President Roosevelt used t,

TIDAL WAVE ON LAKES.
Damages Chicago Docks and Floods
Many Easements.


Chicago, May 12.-Rumors of re-
markable tidal wave along the west
shore of Lake Michigan were received
today. The wave seemed to be the
highest at Kenosha and Racine, Wis,
where wall of water swept in, causing
much damage and alarm along the
docks. At Chicago the wave simply
raisedsthe stage of water and caused a
very heavy current down the drainage
canal. Boats navigated the river with
the greatest difficulty as result of the
high current.
Weather conditions in Chicago this
afternoon were such that a recurrence
of the tidal wave along the west shore
is anticipated. The rain during the
last IL hours has been almost unprece-
dented. Within few ..hours the fire
department answered 80 calls to pump
out Easements in various parts of the
city.
