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 $50, 900 acres under irrigation
by means of a pipe line to be built
from the Columbia river to the Crab
creek valley in Grant county.
1t will cost SIS, 000,0 900 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 3,000,0 900 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 thirds
the area of the whole of Massachusetts.
Up to a short time ago, this vast
domain was devoted entirely to stock
raising, immense herds of cattle. sheep
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.

PINCHOT'S WORK
IS GIVEN PRAISE
IRRIGATION Congress finishes Work at
Spokane Meeting.
New Officers Are Elected and Pueblo
Selected for Next Convention
Resolutions Commend Forestry
and Reclamation Bureaus and Ask
for Sio,ooO,OOO for irrigation.

Spokane, Aug. 14.-With the cleo
ton 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 a $40, ,OOO,O 900 irrigation fund
from congress and commencing the
Mississippi deep waterway, the l7th
National Irrigation congress came to
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-
ell, of New Mexico; second vice presi-
dent, K. 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. J. Watson, of South
Carolina.
An annual appropriation of $40, ,OOO,-
600 for a 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-
lutions adopted, of which the following
is synopsis
That homesteaders under a govern
ment project shall not be required to
establish a 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 a $4,000, 000,0 900 bond
issue, after debate in which some of
the Washington delegation upheld the
measure.

DEPOSIT TO BE MINED.
Nehalem "Beeswax" Has Been Found
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, 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 1918 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.

Black spot canker is one of the most

During the fall the spores or seeds

tion very favorable for the termination
of spores.
Black spot canker is responsible tor
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 it's 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 inetfect-
ual, however. The spore must be
killed before it has terminated.

Government to Gather Data on Water
Resources of Interior.
Bend-A climatological station is
about to be established at Bend, ac-
cording to r. B. Post, of the United
States Geological survey, who has done
extensive work in this region during
the last ten months, gathering stats
tics concerning Central Oregon water
resources for Forthcoming govern
ment report. The purpose of the sta
tion is to record the temperatures,
precipitation, evaporation. ETC., of the
region, considerable inquiry along such
lines having been made of late at the
Portland Office, and no information be-
ing obtainable. Once established, the
station will be under the jurisdiction
of the weather bureau.
The purpose of Mr.. POSTS work is
the publication of an official report
concerning the water resources of this
part of the state, with particular ref
erence to tabulating authentic data rel
ative to existing and contemplated ir-
rigation schemes, field of inquiry in
which little has hitherto been done.
Practically all the statistics necessary
for the report have been collected, and
the actual drawing up will be immedi-
ately undertaken, with the probability
of completion within three months.
Te secure the desired information the
government has maintained over 4O
stations on the various streams.
