LARGE IRRIGATION PROJECT
FOR CENTRAL WASHINGTON

Three hundred thousand acres of
land on the Horse heaven plateau, in
south central Washington, will be re
claimed by irrigation within the next
four years, according to E. d. Mineah
of Prosser, president of the Land Own
ers' association, who has received ad-
vices from United States Senator Jones
that Walter l.. Fisher, secretary of the
interior, has granted the application of
the Klickitat Irrigation & Power com
pany for a canal right-of-way through
the North Yakima and the Vancouver
land districts. Mr.. Mineah says that
the entire acreage, which is owned by
farmers and ranchers, has been pledg-
ed on a basis of not more than $50 an
acre for water rights. 1t is estimated
by L. M. Price, chief engineer, that
the project will cost between $12, 900,
900 and $15, 200, 900 and will require
three years to put it into operation.
Water is to be taken from the two
forks of the Klickitat river, also the
Big Muddy river, and conducted to
the land over the government reserva-
ton along the south slope of Simcoe
mountains.

CANADA WILL VOTE
ON RECIPROCITY

Ottawa, Ont, July 26.-Before there
can be any reciprocity between the
United States and Canada the voters
of the dominion will have their say as
to whether or not they desire 1t. The
leaders of the conservative party have
decided on this course, and then the
liberals followed with like action.
The action of the conservatives
came as a challenge to the liberals.
"No backdown, but continued OBJ
struction CT the reciprocity measure
until the government is forced to dis
solve parliament and go to the coun-
try." was, in effect, the conservative
ultimatum.
The liberal caucus thereupon decid-
ed that the election should be held as
soon as possible.
There may be dissolution of parlia-
ment within a fortnight, but possibly
net until the end of August. The
election probably will be held the last
week in September or the first week
in October. Parliament will be called
Immediately after the election. If the
government is returned, the reciproci.
ity bill will be put through without
difficulty.

Hausin came to this country from

Poverty and loneliness are believed

TESTS BEING
N AOE TO FIND
CH0[ERACASES
Watchfulness is Being Exer-
cised at New York to Iso-
late Any Passengers Who
Land With the Malady.

New York, July 26.-Oficials at
quarantine station were actively en-
gagged this morning in making bacter'
ialogical tests Of cultures taken in the
cases of nine passengers of the steam
ship Oceania who were taken Ill dur.
ing the voyage from Italy. The
Oceania which arrived yesterday, had
on board $50 passengers.
Three Of the nine patients are sus-
pected of cholera A member OF the
crew of the San Giorgio, which came
in yesterday with no passengers but
with one stowaway on board, has de-
veloped an illness resembling the
cholera.
Quarantine officials are inclined to
believe that the suspicious sickness
on board the British steamship Kerby
Bank, which arrived at Perth Amboy
N. j., yesterday is that of cholera.
The steamer detained at quaran-
tine are the Principe Di Piermonte,
San Giorgio, Citta Di Messina and
Oceania. The passengers of the Prtn-
cipe di Piermonte probably will be re-
leased this afternoon while the remain
ing steerage passengers of the steamer
Moltke, who have been detained at
Hoffman Island, were prepared to land
at Ellis Island today.
The condition of Manuel Bermudes
the cholera patient at Swinburne Is
land, remained unchanged this morn
ing.
While the archaeological examina.
tion have not been concluded Bellevue
hospital physicians were certain this
morning that Luis Mach Is suffering
from nothing but summer complaint
and they are strongly inclined to be-
lieve that the final examination Will
show that Orderly Hermann is not
suffering from Aslatic cholera.

TO GET
OMPENSA1|ON
IN 50. AFRICA
Great Britain, However,
Will Not Permit the Es-
tablishment of Naval Base
on African West Coast.

London, July 26.-That Germany will
get compensation in South Africa as
q result Of her descent upon Agadir
and in return for the free hand which
France is securing in Morocco is con-
ceded here, but it is also clear that
Great Britain is not going to permit
the establishment of German naval
base on the west coast of Africa II
she can prevent it.
Great Brtain's great trade routes
to South America, South Africa, India
and the far east all pass within strik
ing distance of Agadir, Morocco, and
generations of British statesmen have
maintained that to allow possibly
hostile power to establish itself on the
flank OF these lines Of communication
would be vital menace to this
country.
There will be, however. no objec-
tion here to France giving compensa-
ton in the shape of rectification of
the Kamerun (German) and French
Congo boundary, provided that 1t does
not include change of ownership Of
the coast line detrimental to this
country.
The activity of the foreign Office to-
day was again marked, the indications
pointing to the neaf approach of a
stage where the crisis either will be-
come acutely virulent or begin to dis
solve. The composition Of the group
Of ministers actively handling the
situation, Premier Asquith, Sir Ed
ward Grey, secretary to foreign af-
fairs, and Chancellor Lloyd-George, the
latter representing the radical part Of
the cabinet, shows that the British
government Is solid, while the fact
that Sir Francis BERTHE. the British
ambassador to France, and Paul Cam
bon. the French ambassador at Lon
don, have been called ss,to the cssss.
ference proves the conclusive solidarity
OF the Anglo-FrGnch entente. King Al
fonso, too appeared on the scene to-
day, having arrived at Portsmouth on
the Spanish royal yacht Giralde and
Immediately came into London, where
he conferred with Sir Edward Grey.
King George is remaining In town,
and messengers pass frequently be-
tween buckingham palace and the for
eig1l Office. Unless an arrangement Is
reached in the meantime the Atlantic
fleet, the projected visit of which to
Norway, was cancelled yesterday, will
be sent back, probably, to it's base OF
Gibraltar at the end of the week.
