Long Expected Event

1t begins to look as though the great
Balkans war for which the world has
been waiting for many years is a
hand. The settings are all complete,
and this promises to be as much a
war of religion as any that was ever
fought.
When Mohamm cSanism was in its
youth the Turks, mongol race came
down from northeastern Asia, become
converted to the new religion, and
through all the centuries since then.
they have been the most bloodthirsty
people touching on civilization.
The practice of polygamy has led to
the importation of women slaves from
all the neighboring country, especially
from Caucasian people, with the re
suit that the race characteristics of
the Turks have been greatly modified
Within the last few years Young
Turkey" has arisen to promote a refor-
nation Of the civil conditions, and
great progress has been made in the
regeneration of the country.
And yet the atrocities committed by
the Turks have been so recent as to
indicate that the bloodthirsty nature
of the race has not been wholly lost.
Now 1t is proposed to destroy the last
hold the Turks have on European land,
driving them back into ASIA and the
alliance against them is formidable

is notorious for working to gain time
TO carry out schemes which it has no
intention of making effective.
That Russia may be behind this war
is the suspicion of Europe. More than
a thousand years ago Peter the Great
pointed to the necessity for Russia
acquiring Constantinople, and all the
diplomacy and all the wars of Russia
for that millennium have been directed
to that one supreme object. The ban
ishment of Turkey now from Europe
would necessarily put the coveted
seat of Ottoman power in the keeping
of some other nation, and no one of
the great powers can consent to an
other one acquiring that strategic 20
sition. Had it not been for the ques-
ton of this city, Turkey long ago would
have been destroyed.
The suspicion that Russia is now
making one more move toward acuuir-
ing the coveted prize, though not
showing its hand, is not unnatural
and this explains why it is that other
European powers may be drawn into
the affair.
Behind all this there may be secret
treaties Of alliances that will prove to
bind several nations together in the
conflict that is now apparently to open.

J.. P|ERPONT MORGAN ON
STAND NEARLY AN HOUR

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS1
WASHINGTON, Oct. al. Pierpont
Morgan took the stand before the SEN
ate campaign contributions committed ee
this morning. Morgan was on the
stand only 54 minutes.
Morgan received a remarkable ova-
tion when he left the stand, after tell
ing the senate committee of the contri-
buttons of his interests to the Repub-
Iican campaigns of 1904 and 1908. Men
and women stood on the chairs and
cheered as the financier left the room.
Morgan was treated with greatest re
spect by the committee. He told how
his firm had contributed 100000 to
the Republicans in 1904 and after
wards $4,000 to the New York cam
paign.
whenever they wanted anything g
they always sent the late Cornelius
Bliss, treasurer of the national com

learned that gratitude is a very scarce
article with politicians. Should VIC
have believed the election of a Demo-
cratic president would have benefited
the country, our contributions would
have gone to them"
Morgan appeared to enjoy his ex-
perience on the stand.
Morgan admitted he had frequently
conferred with George B. Cortelyou,
private secretary then of President
Roosevelt, but had not mentioned cam
paign contributions. He denied that
the Morgan company had contributed
to any other party in 1904 and also
denied knowledge of a general con-

RUSSIA WANTS STRIFE

BALTIMORE, Oct. 3.-That Russia is
responsible for many of the pictures
which show the United States and
Japan flying at each others throats
was the confident assertion of Surgeon
Major S. H. Chang, first grade medical
secretary to the war Office in China
who is here attending the military sur
seOns' congress.
Russia is anxious to see japan anu
the United States at war" declared the
Chinese officer
This is known by many in China
and il is also realized in America
"A famous American told me that
he was aware of the fact that Russia
is willing TO spend SIS, ,OO0, 900 to bring
about such strife
Then, while America and japan
were battling, Russia would step in
and take China. There are So divisions
in the Chinese army, of 10000 soldiers
each. We propose to have so divisions.
The navy Of our country is at present
lamentablT weak, but it will be built
up.
In China we consider America our
dearest friend. The Japanese are a
great people. They have spies in many
oountries -.atbAr;-s information. II
will, perhaps, startle you if I say that
there are thousands Of japanese spies
in Hawaii. Nearly every Japanese
peddler in China is a spy"

committee, followed Morgan on the

Roosevelt. The story Of my telephone

Mr. Morgan fatty denied that either
he or his business associates had con-

Senator Paynter asked politely why
Mr. Morgan did not refuse the second
contribution in 1904.
He said: 81 had forgotten all about
the first contribution. They asked for

$4,000 and told them that was all 1

SALT LAKE CITY. Oct. 3.-w. H
cation congress on the Imperial Val
ley, a Modern Miracle, by Irrigation
speaking as follows:
Il believe YOU will all agree with
me that the redemption of an abso,
lutte desert of 25O,O00 acres within a
period of ten years, causing nearly all
the beneficial plants to grow where
nothing grew before, is indeed a
miracle.
To nearly all interested in irriga
tion matters ii is generally well knomI
that Imperial valley is in the extreme
southeastern portion of the state of
California.
MY object is to tell irrigators some
of the problems Imperial valley has
had to contend with and how these
problems have been solved. l will not
go into the history of the appropria-
tion of the waters of the Colorado
river, nor the great disaster of 1905
1907, where man conquered the ugli-
est as well as one of the mightiest
rivers in the world. All this has
passed into the history of irrigation in
the United States and can be found
in senate document No. 246. "Irriga-
tion in Imperial Valley, California;
by c. E. TAFT, and in senate document
No. 212. containing the message of
the president of the United States and
important correspondence relating to
the control of the Colorado river and
the protection of Imperial valley.
These documents should be part of
the library of all irrigation managers
and engineers.

COL. HOLAB|RD At CONGRESS
TELLS Of IMPERIAL VALLEY

(called the California Developm ent
company, for nearly three years,
come under the head of maintenance
and operation.
The water flowing in the Colorado
river carries a variable quantity of
silt, ranging, according to the Arizona
experiment station, from S4 to 1868
parts in 100000 parts of water by
weight. An acre foot (Which is water
one foot deep over an acre of land) of
Colorado river water contains an av-
erage of 962 tons of silt This silt,
while of immense value as a fertilizer,
is a great source of expense and
trouble to the irrigation engineer and
manager.
Trouble begins at our intake canal,
which is 2OOO feet in length, then
comes the concrete controlling gates,
then Sc miles of main canal in an old
natural waterway, before we come to
the first controlling structure for the
diversion of water to the main later
ais. 1t has taken years and bitter eX-
periences to learn how to combat the
deposition Of silt and guard against
the extreme discharges of the river.
Flood Control
Il have told you of the percentage
of silt and now let me tell you that
al low water in the early spring, the
total discharge as measured at Yuma
(eight miles above our point of di-
version) has been as low as $500 sec
ond feet. while in June of each year
generally between the 23d and 25th of
that month, comes the annual summer
floods. The discharge reached maxi
mum of $4,000 second feet in 1909 and
$4,000 second feet in 1912. These tre-
mendous fluctuations, from $500 to
$4,000 second feet, produce very often
unexpected results, but that I may put
an end to erroneous impressions, let
me remark that in 1910 l built a pro-
tective levee, running east and west
on the watershed between the gulf of
California and the Salton sea, that has
withstood the floods and since that
time the general government, by the
advice of our great president, William
II. Taft. has greatly strengthened This |
and other leVees, 50 that the food of |

never expect any trouble. The river |

Effect of storm

If the storm has been general over
southern California ii will have the
effect of starting vegetation growing
rapidly, and generally the people of
that section do not care for so early
rains, as it sometimes happens that
such rains only start growth, and from
that time on rain does not come regu-
larly enough to maintain the growth,
and the feed dies. On the other hand,
there have been years of early rains
which developed ihto very wet seasons,
and that may prove to be the case this
year.
That much damage has been done to
beets and beans is the testimo ony of
several sections.
With the coast short of feed, it is in
q bad way to stand any condition that
will still further increase the short
age. as may very easily happen as a
result of the rain, though it may re
suit in still higher prices for the val
ley hay, if the storm results in starting
growth which is not maintained by
further rain later.

SERIOUS WASHOUT ON
S. P. DELAYS TRAIN

For the first time in months there
came the report this morning of a
serious washout on the main line of
the Southern Pacific track west of
Indio. The news was rather startling,
for only a mist of rain had fallen Ill
the valley during the night, and there
was nothing to indicate that so seri-
Gus storm had prevailed near at
hand.
AS result of this washout the
morning train did not connect with
the overland, and it is not expected
that passengers and mail from Los
Angeles will get here until this even
ing.
Details of the washout are not OBJ
tainable, but the fact that it is eX-
pected to delay the trains ten hours
or more indicates that there must have
been considerable trackage injury.
In spite of the fact that the Southern
Pacific company has done great deal
that section pass the tracks without
injury, whenever a heavy rain falls
there more or less damage is done.
These washouts occur at a point
where the mountains to the north,
west and south converge on the tracks.
