conference this morning in an effort
of find means of sending additional
fire-fighters to the stricken districts

ARMY ENGINEERS
HAVE LOT TO LEARN
ABOUT IRRIGATION

Washington, Aug. 22.-Army en-
gineers who will have to take up ir-
rigation work, at least to a certain
extent. in order to carry out the law
which loaned s20,000.000 for the
building of irrigation projects, will
ffrti-that they are entering upon "A
task which isSolyes much more than
ordinary engineerfrs-sSork
Army engineers who nave been
looking into the matter have discov-
cred that irrigation engineering un-
der the reclamation law is quite a
different proposition from that of con-
structing defenses for the mounting
of guns, and from the deepening OF
harbors and the building of break
waters, dredging rivers and otherwise
improving navigation.
These latter named works, upon
which the engineers have been en-
gagged, simply Involve the carrying
out of the laws of congress. Money
is appropriated for the construction
of the works, whether or not it will
pay. Army engineers do not have
to look at coast defense proposition
from the standpoint of whether il
will return dollar for dollar for the
expenditure.
They do not have to consider the
building of wing dam or revet-
/ ment on a river on the basis OF
whether that specific work will bring
back into the treasury in time, money
to pay for it and maintain it. And.
by the way, the engineers who have
| been constructing the Panama canal
have not had to take into consdera-
tion the question whether the money
expended on their work is going to
be returned to the government either
| in the payment of interest on the in
vestment or dollar for dollar for the
expenditure.
The irrigation engineers have had
to take into consideration the char
acter of the SOIL and determine
whether it is better adapted to grow
/ ing wheat. sugar beets or different
! ,'arieties of fruit in order that the
land may be cut up into tracts to
meet the agricultural conditions.
| Irrigation engineers are men, gen.
orally, who have given much time
and thought to all of these projects
and they understand what is best for
the regions where reclamation is pos
sible. Even the mistakes which they
have made. which have caused the
I elamor in some places for army engi-
( neers, have. in the end, been profit
of their type and oaliher profit by
mistakes and experience.
When you consider the mistakes
that have been made on the Panama
canal which was a small project as
compared with the work of the re-
clamation service, the balance is de-
cidedly in favor of the irrigation en-
gineers.
In making illusions to the Panama
canal, it may be stated that the irri-
CATION projects to date have cost s60,-
100000, small sum compared to
what the P9nama canal has cost and
what it will cost, yet there is not a
person who has looked into the sub
ject who does not believe that the
reclamation service has benefited
more people in the United States than
will ever be benefited by the Panama
canal.

INCENDIARY ORIGIN PROVED
IBy Associated Press. ]

Washington. Aug. 22.-Positive
evidence that many of the forest fires
in Oregon are of incendiary origin
has been discovered by the govern
ment agents. according to a telegram
that was received at the offices of the
forest service here today from Asso-
ciate District Forester Cecil of Port
land.
Mr.. Cecil says in his dispatch that
there is no doubt that the fires in
the Crater national forest and al
Medford were the result of incendi-
arism and that new fires are being
set constantly. He reports that he
has started 25 men on scout duty in
an effort to catch the culprits.
The fires in the Crater national
forest are proving more serious every
hour There are 800 men there now
under the forest service, the war de
partment already having 100 sol
diers detailed in this district and
having ordered $50 more from Amer
lean Lake.
Assistant District Forester Buck
has gone from Portland to take per-
sonal charge of the situation. He
says that the troops will be used to
protect life and property, and that
it will be hard to eXtinguish the fires
without the aid of rain Efforts will
be made to protect the best timber.

over $10,000,000 less than the average for this period.
 The preliminary figures of the direct or of the mint give an estimated produc- tion in the United States in 1909 of 53,- S49, ,0O0 fine ounces of silver, valued at $2S, ,010,100. This indicates an increase of l ,4OS, 200 fine ounces in quantity, but a decline of 800 in value from the figures for 1908. The most notable in- creases of production in 1909, as com pared with 1908, were in Montana, Utah and Arizona, which are large copper producers and where the smelting indus tries were generally active in 1909. The indicated increases are 1,643,S00 fine ounces in Montana, 1,0S2, 100 in Utah, and 732,200 in Arizona. In Colorado there was little profit in mining and smelting low grade ores, and a heavy decrease of 1,056,600 fine ounces, or about 10 per cent of the output of 1908, is indicated. In both Idaho and Nevada decreased output it indicated, amount ing to more than 500,000 ounces in each state. Smaller losses are attributed to Alaska, Missouri, New Mexico, Texas and Washington.
 The market for silver in 1909 offered little encouragement, as largely in creased foreign output, especially from the Cobalt district in Canada, was in with the domestic produc- tion. The failure of India to buy large ly as usual was only partly offset by bet ter sales to China.
 From estimates of the bureau of sta tistics the imports in 1909 were valued at $30, 0,332,0SS for silver in foreign ore, $l2, ,431, ,l50 for silver in foreign bullion, and $2,967 ,76S for silver in foreign coin. During the same year exports of silver were valued as follows Domestic ore, S64O,647; foreign ore, $6S,27S; domestic bullion, $54,336,904; foreign bullion, S1 ,426; United States coin, $170,- 25S; and foreign coin, $570,S31. The value of silver in excess of total exports over that of imports in 1909 was there fore $11, 1,279,33S. The imports of silver were chiefly in the form of ore and bull lion, and came largely from Mexico and Canada. The exports consisted almost wholly of ore and bullion, and went chiefly to the United Kingdom, although important shipments were made also to direct and to France.
