COOK R|D|CULES
PEARY'S RECORDS

New York, Feb. 2. - Ridiculing
Peary's proofs that he reached the
pole, as unconvincing and assailing
the manner in which the national geo.
graphical society endorsed Peary's
claims, Cook today discussed the Arc
tic situation.
Interviewed by the United Press he
said that 'in Arctic latitudes refrac-
ton is a problem which represents
possible innaccuraci cies, not of seconds
or minutes but of degrees AS a re-
suit mirages of the whole polar topo-
graphy are distorted, giving a possi-
bility of errors in observations which
might easily amount to sixty miles.

curing large holdings in agricultural

sembly today, The measure came as
a surprise as 1t was generally under

TEACHERS URGE
PASSAGE OF BILL
Bill 27S Authorizes Creation of Re-
tirement Fund and Suits Teachers.

Salem, Ore, Feb. "A number Of
Portland teachers appeared before
members of the Multnomah delegation
yesterday afternoon to urge the pass
age of house bill number 273. It au-
thorizes the creation of a retirement
fund association and the granting OF
annuities to retired teachers in school
districts having more than 10000
children of school age.
Under the proposed law teachers
would contribute 81 per month dur
ing the first ten years of service. SO
in the second decade and SO in the
third. 1t was argued by the teachers
that experiences of many states and
countries which have annuity laws
sanction such a measure and that in
asmuch as the public is asked TO con-
tribute only 10 per cent of the am
cunt necessary to put the fund on
firm basis, there should be no objec-
tion to pensioning those so intimate-
ly connected with the country's well
fare.

the government of the West Umatilla
some points mentioned by
Mr.. Teel are worthy OF attention but
he is so grossly in error in his con-
tention as to the amount of water
needed upon the Umatilla project
that his letter becomes ridiculous.
seemingly he seeks to show that it is
taking u acre feet Of water TO irri-
gate an acre of land under the pro-
5ect and that to water the entire pro-
jcct will require something like 4SS,-
no0 acre feet N nearly all the water
IN the river flood water and all II
is q 5laring statement and if it were
true things would look bad for the
west end country. Few people would
want to settle there if they thought i,
necessary to flood the desert with wa
ter y feet deep in order to maxi
crops grow. Mr.. Teel and associates
in the proposed Camas creek project
will surely not want intending pur-
chasers to think the west end is such
a region as that. They might think
they had to farm the land from
boats.
This paper gives space to Mr.. Teers
communication but it does not agree
with him as to the amount of water
needed for west end irrigation pur-
poses. Nor can this paper see how
statements such as he makes can aid
in the solution of the problems that
arise with reference to the use of the
waters of the Umatilla.

MUCH TO BE DONE.

At the development league-news-
papermen's banquet last evening the
great question uppermost in the minds
Of all present was what to do to take
this county forward and those who
spoke presented some very practical
suggestions.
Build good roads throughout the
county; spread the doctrine Of bet
ter farming and by developing the
county within itself make it more
prosperous and more inviting to out
siders This was the keynote of the
meeting
There is little need and little de-
mand now for extensive publicity
work such as has been carried on by
many western sections during the past
few years. There are indications
that the big wave of publicity has
about spent its force. Much of that
force was wasted.
In the middle states from which
section most Of our newcomers were
secured the bankers and other people
Of influence are waging a systematic
campaign against western investments
by their people. They are trying to
keep their people and their money at
home. They don't want to lose them
anymore than Umatiua county wants
10 see its people and its money go to
Canada.

other lines, for it is difficult to go
against the tide. During the mex.

til June 5, 1911, adding approximate
~ $4,000 additional acre feet to the
available supply for irrigation. The
o'd Maxwell canal was kept running
during this year end delivered 10 0O0
additional acre feet. At the close of
the Irrigation season there remain
ed 1900 acre feet in the reservoir.
The total area of irrigated land un-
der the project for this year IS about
1000 acres. Hence there must have
been delivered to the 1000 acres the
difference between $4,000 acre feet
rema ming in the reservoir and the
grand total of $1,000 acre fee, taken
cut or u acre feet 20 each acre un-
der irrigation.
The remaining $4,000 acres to be
irrisatod under tbs project is of the
.ame character as that which is now
under irrigation and at The present
rate'of use win require S7S, 900 addi-
tional acre feet.
Assuming that the total available
supply of the Umatilla river is 500 -
0O0 acre feet. and that is probably
correct We should have remaining
after supplying the present govern
ment project in this "ounty the grand
surplus of $4,000 acre feet to supply
all the other irrigated lands in the
county and fill a reservoir for the
west eNtension-Nit.
The lands proposed to be irrigated
by the west extension are of the
same sandy character as those en-
braced in the east side project. 1t is
is necessary to use 81 acre feet per
acre on the east side it is but fair to
as ume that a like amount will be re-
luired for the west side or a grand
total for the 10000 acres of 1900 600
acre feet or Two and one1-half times
the total flow of the Umatilla ~ver.
IF the contention of the govern
ment that two and cue-half acre feet
per acre is sufficient for the irriga-
ton of land, then surplus Of
eighteen and One-half acre feet must
have been wasted this year by seop-
age or otherwi e upon its 1000 acres
under irrigation. If. as some con-
tend, all this water goes back into
he Um5.iila river. the present east
side project is all the government
needs for reservoir purposes Let t
continue its pre- ent policy of actual
ly using 21 acre feet per acre upon
the remaining 1899 acres and the
grand surplus of seepage would am
cunt to 100000 acre fee,. \ small
dam on the exposed bed rock at the
| mouth of the river at a nominal cost
should pick up this seepage and dis
tribute to the thirsty lands of Morrow
county more water than the Umatilla
r-ver was ever known to flow.
