Kennewick-That preliminary plans
have been made for big irrigation
project, which will water thousands of
acres of sagebrush land in Grant
county are under way, is the informa.
tion given out by j. M. Spencer of
Plains, Mont. Mr.. Spencer, who has
large land interests in the Grab creek
country, says that the farmers in that
section have begun active preparations
to place $4,000 acres under irrigation
by means of pipe line to be built
from the Columbia river to the Crab
creek valley in Grant county.
1t will cost SIS, 900, 900 to complete
this gigantic undertaking, which will
be one of the longest gravity systems
in the world. The pipe line will run
more than 100 miles before it reaches
the nearest land to be watered and the
farthest point will be the Columbia
river, on the northern boundary OF
Benton county.

Central Oregon Settling Up.

Burns Notwithstanding heavy i'm
migration and settlement the past few
years, there are yet in Harvey county
over 100000 acres of government
land subject to entry, including timber,
grazing, mineral and agricultural
land, greater area than the entire
state of New Jersey, and -two-t thirds
the area of the whole of Massachusetts,.
UP to short time ago, this vast
domain was devoted entirely to stock
raising, immense herds Of cattle, sheer
and horses feeding over the illimitable
ranges during the greater part of the
year, while large quantities of hay
have been cut for their winter use.
This has been changed. The past
few seasons have brought hundreds OF
industrious settlers who are opening up
farms and meeting with the most en-.
couraging success in agriculture.

CANkER ATTACKS TREES.
Orchardists Find It Most Trouble.
some Pest in Nor invest.


Black spot canker is one of the most
troublesome fruit pests of the North
west and one which fruit growers must
understand and be able to recognize if
they expect to make headway against it.
During the fall the spores or "seeds"
are lodged 1.-THE apples, being distrib-
uted by the wind or other agencies.
Later, when the apples are stored in
cellars where there is an abundance of
moisture sweating" occurs, a condi-
tion very favorable for the termination
of spores.
Black spot canker is responsible for
the great part of fruit rotting that
occurs. The most effective treatment
is thorough spraying with bordeaux
mixture in November, when the spores
or seeds are floating in the orchard.
Because the fungus gives such slight
evidence of its presence in the bark in
the fall, and because so apparent in the
spring, many orchardists make the mis-
take OF attempting to combat it in the
spring after it has already gotten in
the bark. Such treatment is ineffect-
ual, however. The spore must be
killed before it has terminated.

Irrigation Congress Closes Very
Successful Meeting.
PINCHOT'S WORK GIVEN PRAISE
Resolutions Commend Forestry and
Reclamation Bureaus-To Meet
Next at Pueblo, Colorado.

Spokane, Aug. 14.-With the elec-
tion of officers, the selection of Pueblo,
COL, as the next meeting place, the
passage of resolutions commencing
both the efforts of Pinchot and Newell
in the forestry and reclamation bureaus,
asking $4,000, 900 irrigation fund
from congress and commencing the
Mississippi deep waterway, the 18th
National Irrigation congress came to a
practical adjournment yesterday.
The following officers in addition to
the election of B. A. Fowler, of
Phoenix, Ariz., president, and Arthur
Hooker, of Spokane, secretary, were
elected unanimously:
First vice president, Ralph Twitch-
eli, of New Mexico; second vice presi-
dent, R. W. Young, of Utah; third
vice president, l.. N. Newman, of
Montana; fourth vice president, W. F.
Fleming, of New Mexico; fifth vice
president, E. ]. Watson, of South
Carolina.
An annual appropriation of $40, 0O0,-
900 for period of five years to aid in
irrigation work is asked of congress in
resolutions by the National Irrigation
congress. This is perhaps the most
important recommendation in the reso-
luti0ns adopted, of which the following
is synopsis:
That homesteaders under a govern
ment project shall not be required to
establish residence before the gov
ernment is prepared to furnish them
with water.
That the government take measures
to drain swamp lands in aid of land re,
clamation and of public health.
That the Irrigation congress aid,
with other conservation organizations,
to bring about waterway improve.
ments, reforestation, drainage and
other like projects.
That there be brought about surveys
and estimates of reclamation of sub.
merged lands where the work is inter-
national in character. (This refers to
Northern Idaho more specifically
That the reclamation act be ex.
tended to Hawaii.
That the states pass laws regulating
cutting of public and private timber.
That there should be no political
lines with reference to the use of water
for irrigation.
That the Mississippi deep waterway
be developed.
The committee turned down the res.
olution asking $4,000, 900, 900 bond
issue, after a debate in which some OF
the Washington delegation upheld the
measure.

DEPOSIT TO BE MINED.
Nehalem "Beeswax" Has Been Found
to Be Ozocerite.


to Be Ozocerite.
That the product found in the sand at
the mouth of the Nehalem river, pop
ularly believed to be beeswax from a
wrecked Spanish galleon, is valuable
substance known to chemistry as ozo-
cerite, was the statement made by J..
j. Walter, president of the Mccartney
City Hyrdocarbon Oil company, a cor
poration organized to exploit the pro-
duct. For years visitors to that coast
have picked up the wax-like Jumps that
have strewn the beach there. The
general opinion has prevailed that it
was beeswax brought from Manila for
one of the Spanish settlements in Cali
fornia and that the ship was wrecked
there. The discovery was made as
early as 1913 by the Indians.
Kit Carson, the famous scout, now
employed as an assayer by the govern
ment, visited the place and announced
that the supposed beeswax was none
other than ozcerite, product of hydro
carbon oil, found only in South Amer
lea and in small quantities in Northern
Europe.

HOLD UP BANK.
Oregon Boys Secure $1,000 But Are
Soon Captured.

SOoH SdptuTcus
San Francisco, Aug. 14.-Two Ore
gon youths, neither one much over 18
years of age, walked Unto the Valley
bank of Santa Clara shortly after 10
O'Clock yesterday morning, and lining
up the three clerks at the muzzles of
revolvers, pushed one of the men for
ward and told him to place $1,000 in a
bag and give it to them."
"And be quick about it, too," said
one of the hold-ups, "and if it is shy
I'll blow the top of your head off,"
While the clerk was obeying the
youths, the others had good chance
to study their faces, as neither of the
amateurish desperadoes was masked.
Cashier Birge placed the required sum
in sack and gave it to the two invad-
ers, who at once left the bank, went a
half a block, and jumped into wait
ing automobile. There one of the men
placed a revolver at the chaffeur's s
head and commanded him to "let her
out for all she's worth" The chsffeur
complied and the heavy car disappeared
in cloud of dust.
Some miles out of town, however, the
machine broke down or the driver dis
abled it and the robbers took to the
fields. Their direction was ascertained
and shortly afterwards they were over,
taken by Sheriff Langford and Deputy
Sheriff F. Lowell on the banks Of
Moody creek.
Sheriff Langford made every effort
to discover the identity of the prison.
ers, but beyond saying they were from
Oregon they would tell nothing of theil
history.
