Seeks Fair Play

1t is declared that labor makes nc
demand on government and society
which is not equally accorded to all
the people of this country and that ''it
can and will be satisfied with nothing
less
The proposed campaign is based upon
the allegation that little attention has
been paid to the enactment of laws
prepared by organized labor and pre-
sented for relief of those wrongs and
the attainment of the rights to which
labor and the common people are justly
entitled and which are essentially neces-
sary for their welfare.
The council issued a word of warning
that the movement must not degenerate
into a scramble for offices, but that ii
should "be a determined effort, free alb
solutely from all partisanship of every
name and character to secure the legis-
lation we demand as necessary and es-
sential to the welfare and happiness OF
all our people,"
1t says expressly that If a congress-
man or state legislator has proven him
self true friend to the rights of labor,
he should be supported, and no candi-
date nominated against him.

ton OF several measures to enter the
field of politics in the interest of q
trades union movement, and to urge al
friends of organized labor to elect tc

ised the water for some of this great
region. and the rush of settlers in
that direction indicates that the home
builders will be there when it comes.
The klamath project involves a
great work of drainage, irrigation and
storage in unusual combination. OF
the 400 600 acres in the Klamath
basin, 100000 are TO be irrigated un-
der this project at a cost of over si,-
100000, but which makes the acreage
charge a small one.
klamath Lake and Tule Lake are
two great sheets of shallow water
nearly 10000 acres in extent, which
are TO be drained and converted into
small irrigated farms. These will
probably be among the richest agri-
cultural lands in the world. Tule
rushes have grown in these for CEN
turtles and they are almost muck beds.
Other lands are to be irrigated
through the construction of dams and
the conversion of upper klamath
Lake, Clear Lake and Horse Fly res
ervoir into great storage basins.
The water from Clear Lake reser-
voir will find tbs way on to the irri-
gated lands through Lost river, a
deep-flowing, tortuous stream. which
for many years baffled the inhabi-
tants of the country regarding its
source, but when the engineers have
finished with it it will in truth be-
come a lost river, although as a
compensation thousands of prosperous
farms will absorb its waters.
The great main canals of the pro-
Ject Will have total length of some
125 miles, with several hundred miles
Of smaller lateral bitches. One feat
ure of the project necessitates the
carrying of water across three deep
depressions, and this will be accom-
plished by means of inverted syphons.
Two of these will be over Lost river
and one over a tributary. In other In
stances inverted syphons of steel pipe
laid in cement will be constructed

COTTON HAD NO PERMIT.
o. X. & N. Attorney Has Practiced
Law 16 Years Without License.

w. w. Cotton was this morning ad-
mitted to practice in the United States
district court, says the oregon Daily
Journal. He has been trying cases in
that tribunal for 16 years. He volun-
tarily went into court and apologized
to Judge Wolverton.
81 accept your apology under the
existing circumstances, said Judge
Wolverton, 'and upon your request
admit you to practice"
Mr.. Cotton said that he joked At
torney r. w. Montague because he had
practiced before the court but had
never been admitted, when Mr.. Mon
tague said to him:
you have no license to laugh at
me; you have never been admitted
yourself"
Mr.. Cotton examined the court rec
ords and ascertained that his friend
was correct. How many other law
yers in the city and state are in the
same position as were Attorneys Cot
ton and Montague is not known, but
1t Is suspected that the number is
large. Years ago the United States

LARGE FORCE OF MEN
ON FIVE LONG TUNNELS.
Six Tunnels on the System Aggregate
1000 In Length-About $50 Men
Employed In the Work-Work Will
BE Rushed on All the Grading as
Fast as the Snow MeIts.

The Seward Weekly Gateway, of
Seward, Alaska, gives the following
account of the work on the Alaska
Central railway which is now being
rushed into the interior of the terri
tory:
Tunnel work on the Alaska Central
is now the important feature of con-
struction operations, although extern
sive rock work is proceeding in several
places, chiefly on Turnagain Arm. Bor-
ing is now in progress on five tunnels
and preliminary work is proceeding
at the portals Of the other two.
The construction department Is anx-
ious to push work on the tunnels to
conclusion by the earliest possible
date as the task is slow of accomplish
ment at best for the obvious reason
that 1t cannot be subdivided and op-
erations conducted in a score of places
at once, like grading in the open. The
best that can be done is to bore on
both ends of each tunnel simultane-
ously.
The first tunnel on mile 40, Is be-
ing bored by the railroad company
and drills driven by a steam compress
sor are persistently pounding away
Work at the portal of the nearer end
has been abandoned because Of the
deep snow.
A slide nearly buried 1t two months
ago. 1t was found impossible to make
satisfactory progress on a cut and fill
near by because a gang of men had to
be employed all the time in shoveling
snow away from the fill to make room
for the gravel taken from the cut. AS
the sun can dispose of the snow much
more cheaply few weeks later II was
decided to let nature take its course
and the men We're sent to the tunnels
and to Turnagain Arm.
Rich & Harris have $50 men en-
ployed upon the six tunnels for which
they hold the contract. This force is
scattered over a distance of 5000 feet
on miles so and SO, the contract in
cludlng short spaces OF open work be-
tween the tunnels and the approaches
to the first and last. The six tunnels
aggregate about 1000 feet in length.
Boring is in progress on four of the
tunnels embraced in the Rich & Har-
ris contract and work on the portals
or approaches Of the other two is al
so under way. One air compressor
has been driving drills for two months
and another and larger one has just
been set up. In short time the drills
will be cutting - faces simultaneous

"DETAILS Of THE KLAMATH IRRIGATION PROJECT

The following fascinating article on
the klamath irrigation project is from
Guy Elliott Mitchell, of the National
Irrigation association. Mr. Mitchell
says:
In the Land of Burnt Out Fires
lying near where rolls the Oregon, "
is a corner of our country brim full
of natures wonders, and which was
once better known than it is today as
the scene of the terrible Modoc mas
sacre.
In this nearly uninhabited region
the engineers of Uncle Sam are busy
on a huge drainage and irrigation
work which may be. considered the
most unique of any of the government
projects. 1t is known as the Klamath
project, and its lands and waters are
directly bisected by the Oregon Cali
fornia boundary line. Most of the
lands to be reclaimed, however, are
in Oregon.
Oregon is an old new country. 1t
was settled long before the Indians
We're driven out of Minnesota and the
Dakotas, and yet, by the last census,
1t had only little over four persons
TO the square mile. Why should there
be this paucity of population in a
land admittedly so rich in cultural
possibilities? 1t is just a matter of
rainfall. Most of the state lies in the
arid belt belonging in part to the
Great Basin, which includes all of
Nevada. most of Utah and portions of
California and Idaho.
1t is vast plateau region, deficient
in perennial streams and lacking in
rainfall, yet wealthy in solid and ador-
able climate, and wanting only irri-
cation to support in comfort a very
great population. Oregon's immense
valleys and smooth benches lie, as
they have lain for centuries, awaiting
the advent of water to blossom into
productivity. Uncle Sam has prom

One of the most interesting expert
ments in animal breeding yet undel
taken by the United States govern.
ment is the importation Of a number
Of woolless sheep from the Barbados
islands.
The bureau of animal industry has
made arrangements to import five
ewes and a ram of this peculiar breed
OF mutton sheep in hopes of introduce
ing them permanently into the NUT
ton producing districts of the south.
These sheep are grown exclusively
in the Barbados, portion of the
West Indies group and the United
States government became interested
in the breed through Sir Daniel Nor
ris, imperial commissioner of agricul-
ture for the West Indies.
The woolless sheep grows to a large
size and produces an enormous
amount Of mutton, but no wool what
ever. II is native OF the Barbados,
where 1t has been known since the
earliest settlements. 1t is white or
yellow in color and of round plump,
well proportioned body, easily fatted
and comparatively hardy in the south
ern climate.
The meat is sweet and nutritious
and is free from the peculiar flavor
of the woody mutton sheep. It is a
favorite meat in all the fashionable
hotels of the West Indies and it Is
thought will be highly profitable and
popular in the southern portion Of the
United States when once introduced
to the public.
1t will not be adapted to a climate
of 20 degrees north latitude, it is
thought, and will, therefore, be intro
duced into New Mexico, Arizona, or
southern California, where the cli-
mate is uniform and more nearly
like its native islands than further
north.
This importation is one of numer-
Gus extraordinary experiments to be
conducted by the bureau of animal in
dustry of the United States govern
ment, as a result of an appropriation
Of $4,000 by congress for this pur-
pose.
Another experiment being conduct
ed by the government is the breeding
of high grade horses on an expert
ment farm in Colorado. This is prov
ing to be an interesting and valuable
experiment and is attracting wide at
tention.

NO GOVERNMENT ARMoR PLANT.
Project Is Temporarily Abandoned by
Naval Department.

Washington, March 20.-No action
will be taken in the navy department
toward the preparation of a report
on the cost of armor plate production.
This information was called forth at
the last session of congress, but moth
ing was said in the naval appropria-
tion bill of the date when this report
should be presented. 1t would require
several months to make an exhaustive
and complete study of the armor plate
situation as 1t is today, although prob
ably a board of investigation would
be aided to some extent by the report
on the same question compiled several
years ago.
II Is evident that no steps will be
taken this year, at any rate, toward
the establishment of government
plant for the manufacture of armor,
and most officers believe that with the
policy of economy which now prevails
and is likely to prevail in the increase
of the navy 1t will not be deemed
profitable for the government to EN-.
bark in the production of armor, es.

NOTHING LIKE 1T EVER SEEN IN
PENDLETON BEFORE.

DR.. Ward and staff of the Medical
Institute of Liverpool, England, and
Charlottesville, Ind, lectured to a
large audience Monday night The
doctors are agreeable and forceful
speakers and held the audience in
close attention Will they explained
the theory and usefulness of their
wonderful discoveries.
Many promises were made which
seemed utterly impossible to believe
and when the doctor invited those
who were hard of hearing to come
forward and be cured, C. S. Howard,
o. H. Beagle and o. B. Stephens re-
sponded to the call and were made to-
hear a whisper in a few seconds.
The doctor then called for eripples
on crutches and Mr.. Burr Johnson
responded. He had a compound frac-
ture and after that the giant disease
rheumatism set in and he was unable
to walk except with crutches and
great difficulty and pain. He was Op-
Grated on with medicine 20 minutes
and walked off the stage free from
pain and stiffness, followed by the
wondering crowd, while the doctor
broke his crutches. To say the audi
ence was astonished and wild would
be putting it mildly. The doctors
were warmly congratulated. 1t SEEM
ed like a dream but it was real
Ministers and doctors were in the au-
dience, and they seemed as well pleas

$4,000 feet with a capacity of $3.50
gallons per minute.
klamath Basin is over 1000 feet
above sea level, with a charming cli-
mate and fertile soil, and produces all
the good things Of a north temperate
soil-grains, alfalfa, apples, peaches
and most of the deciduous fruits and
all the vegetables. Portland and San
Francisco will afford lucrative mar
kets, although at this time the near
est railroad station is Pokegama,
from which point visitors into the
basin must travel 36 miles by stage.
Two railroad systems, however, have
large forces of men at work, at this
time, constructing branch lines into
the basin, which it is expected will be
completed within a year or so.
In order to obviate the possibility
of any further conflict over water
rights the government had purchased
all the private canals in the basin
and will unite them under one sys-
TEN. Here we have the government
creating a monopoly of water, but it
fortunately is a monopoly which is
controlled by all of the people and
they will enjoy all the benefits. The
wiping out of all private claims is a
settled policy now and the wisdom
of this policy is emphasized when it
is remembered that litigation between
irrigators over water rights, in many
private irrigation districts, is annu-
ally costing the settlers more than
the maintenance of all their canals.
The farmers in the klamath valley
have organized a water users associ-
alton for the purpose of complying
with the requirements of the national
irrigation act, and making agreements
with the secretary of the interior,
and the secretary has formally ap-
proved their articles of incorporation.
This organization, it is stated, is pre-
pared to furnish reliable information
concerning the klamath basin and the
opportunities for homeseekers to take
up homesteads under this project.

pccially at the current prices which
are considered reasonable.
Some of the officers of the navy
are in favor OF a government armor
plate factory, but 1t is considered that
is sufficiently controlled by the navy
department and that no advantage
would he gained by establishing a
government plant. OF course, there
must he sooner or later a report on
the armor plate situation, but this
cannot be prepared in much less than
three or four months If the subject
is to be thoroughly discussed.

IRON EXPORT RECORDS BROKEN
Rails. Wire. Nails and Piping TO All
Parts OF the World.

Pittsburg, March 20.-The exports
from the United States of iron and
steel manufactures during the month
of February broke all previous month
ly records. Almost 14,500 tons of
wire, nails and iron pipe were shipped
abroad last month through New York
and other eastern seaboard points, the
largest consignment ever made TO for
eign countries in any one month in
the history of the trade. The ship
ments of steel rails and billets were
exceptionally heavy, aggregating a
shade under 10000 tons In addition
TO these huge shipments, big lots went
overland to the Pacific coast for ex-
port to the far east and considerable
quantities weer also sent abroad from
southern ports.
Besides reaching the high water
mark the February exports were in
teresting because of the fact that the
port of New York handled more than
the combined shipments made through
Philadelphia and Baltimore. These
ports, especially Baltimore, have pre-
viously taken care of the bulk of the
shipments made to foreign countries
from the Atlantic coast. New York
shipped nearly $4,000 tons out of the
$4,000 or more tons exported last
month.
Another feature of the February
shipments was the large consignments
which went forward to South Amer
lea, hitherto a stronghold of the Ger
man and British iron and steel manu-
facturers. The steel rail exports rep
resented 26,S1S tons. Fourteen thous-
and, one hundred and thirty-two tons
went to the Argentine Republic
while 7446 tons went to Brazil. To
Japan zoos tons were shipped.
