IRRIGATION IN
THE NORTHWEST
TRANSCENDANT INTEREST
AND GREAT IMPORTANCE.
Raw SaSebrush Lands of Two and
Three Years Ago Now Worth From
500 to $500 Per Acre-Immensc
Profits I'm Short Length of Time
Eastern Oregon Has Peculiar Ad-
yantagcs.

THE hope of the northwest lies in
her irrigation development" said
Fred Lockley of the Pacific Month
ly, to the East Oregonian today. after
two months tour OF investigation
and statistic-gathering among the big
irrigation projects and irrigation dis
tricts of Oregon, Washington, Idaho
and Montana.
MIR. Lockley says that the irrigu-
ton development, the advances in the
price OF irrigated land and the Won
derful yields in the irrigated sections
all over the northwest, are truly mar
velous I'm Washington, Idaho, Mon-
tana and eastern oregon he finds
land which was raw sagebrush land
two and three years ago, now under
cultivation, growing two and three
crops OF alfalfa and worth all the way
from 500 to $500 per acre.
In no other industrial pursuit in the
northwest are people making such
handsome profits as in irrigated fruit
farms. In the wenatchee valley fruit
growers are actually making from
$500 to $500 per acre per year in net
profits from apple growing. Raw
land is converted into highly produc-
| tive farms within an incredibly short
time and men who We're in poverty a
few years ago are now orchard princes
with elegant homes, well improved
farms, large bank accounts and hand
some incomes.
This irrigation development is not
confined to any particular locality,
but all over the northwest is seen the
same activity in reclamation of the
deserts. Eastern Oregon presents
even better field for this develop
ment than any other section of the
northwest, because of the favorable
climate, low altitude, excellent trans
portation facilities and other advan-
tages not enjoyed elsewhere.
Mr.. Lockley will write several AR
ticles on the subject of irrigation de-
velopment for future numbers OF the
Pacific Monthly and will tell some en-
tertaining stories of quick fortunes
made from the uninviting deserts
within few years.
He came in last night on No. s from
Caldwell, Idaho, and will leave for his
home in Portland today

fore Long.

The first week of the new school
year at st. Joseph's academy, which
closes this evening, gives promise of
the best year ever enjoyed at this
pioneer institution.
The attendance started at over 100
which is extraordinary, considering
the larger number of school patrons
yet in the country. The number of
boarding scholars to begin with was
"a, which has increased during the
week to about 40, and which will
grow to over 100 within a short time,
Judging from the large number of ap-
plications now being received from
umatilla and adjoining counties.
Eight teachers are employed in the
academy. The musical and art de-
partments are made special features
and students are given special atten-
ton in those departments. The dor
mitory is also given special attention
and children boarding at the acade-
my are constantly under the super
vision of teachers.
1t will be necessary to increase the
dormitory facilities of the academy
to accommodate the increasing de-
mands upon 1t. Large numbers of ap-
plications are now on hand from
every eastern oregon county and it is
evident that an unusually large out
side attendance will be enjoyed by
the academy this year.

CARRIES 5000 PERSONS,
Largest Ocean Steamer on Her Way
to New York.

Liverpool, Sept. 6.-With a full
passenger list the new 25-knot tur-
bine Cunard liner Lusitania will leave
Liverpool tomorrow morning on her
maiden trip to New York. The Lu-
sitania presents many novel features
and on her first trip Will carry a
number of government engineers and
experts representing practically all
the big transatlantic fines, who are
desirous of seeing for themselves how
the mammoth ship win acquit herself
on her first trip across the sea.
To begin with the Lusitania will
afford the first real test of her tur-
pines as applied to the fast 'transat-
lantic fliers. The Germans and 9TH
ers have been experimenting with the
turbines and have seen them in use
in small croft and in large vessels like
the Carmania and the Allan liners,
but the Lusitania is the first monster
steamship to use them for the devel-
opment OF great speed.
In addition to her turbine equip
ment the Eusitania presents many
novel features. She has accommoda-
tions for 2200 passengers and a crew
of 500. Family suites, elevators and
telephones, nursery, gymnasium,
Turkish, vapor and needle baths, are
special features. Regal suits con-
sisting of two bedrooms, a dining
room, reception room and bath
room, have been provided for those
Who care to pay the price. All the
apartments are ten and a half feet
high and furnished in as costly and
luxurious style as in the best New
York hotels.
One of the striking features of the
ship IL the great dining hall. the full
breadth of the vessel, with a colossal
dome reaching up to the topmost deck
and eXquisitely decorated by artists
Of note. Another novel feature is the
arrangement by which all the state
rooms have their bed sheets warmed
by electric bed warmers.
The Lusitania is 1856 feet long and
has a breadth of SS feet. Her cost
was '$6.250,000. She Is not only a
floating city of the most luxurious
| type, but If the calculations of her
builders are correct she will be able
to establish new speed record foI
the passage between Liverpool anC
| New York.

.Rellingham, Sept Six badly
lbeaten Hindus are In the hospitals,
and 400 frightened, half naked Sikhs
ARE. in Jail and in the corridors OF the
city hall, guarded by policemen, and
somewhere between Bellingham and
the British Columbia line are 150 ma
,tives of India, beaten, hungry. naked
and half clothed, making their way
along the Canadian Pacific for Brit
ish territory and the protection of the
British flag.
The long expected has occurred and
'"drtve out the Hindus" was heard
through the city and along the wafer
front last night.
Within five hours half a thousand
whites raided the mills, where the
blacks were working, battered down
doors of lodging houses sheltering the
foreigners, dragged the invaders from
their beds. beating them and ordering
them to quit the city Immediately. The
police were helpless.
Several Hindus were pulled from
the water, where they had sought
refuge. and from under the docks on
the tide-flats. Some of the bruised
and bleeding were sent to the hos
pital.
The police induced the mob to lei
the e,undesirables be taken to jail, and
this suggestion was hailed with de-
light by the mob. The strategic move
pronably saved many from a worse
condition. Four women are among
the refugees in the city building.
Racial feeling had small part in the
affair. the labor question being pre-
dominant. The Hindus, who are bold
and insolent, replaced the whites In
the mills. Their attitude toward white
women aroused resentment among
the citizens, many ladies and young
girls being pushed from the sidewalks
and 'insulted while riding in street
cars.
The intense feeling broke out last
night and the mob was formed.
The Hindus are British subjects
and the case has been placed before
the British authorities, and may take
on International Importance.
Fifty armed special police are on
duty today, and the blacks will be Civ
on protection. The Hindus are thor
oughly frightened and are leaving for
the british side.
Mob feeling is still rampant.
