A REMARKABLE STREAM.
Deschutes River, Oregon, Will Irrigate
Several Hundred Thousand Acres.

Deschutes river, Oregon, tributary o.
the Columbia, is one of the unique
streams of the United States It's nat
ural flow is remarkably constant, ris
ing in times of so-called floods only q
few inches, owing to the fact that the
river flows for a eonsidera BILE portion OF
its course through region of lava and
loose volcanic material which act as a
huge sponge The headwaters of the
river afford reservoir sites so large and
so well distributed that the total flow
of the river may be utilized both for ir-
| rigation and for power. The irrigable
lands in the valley, aggregating 100000
to $4,000 acres, are 50 situated on a
plateau in the upper part OF the basin
that the total flow of the upper river
and its principal tributaries may be
utilized for irri4tion. Below the irri-
yon having fair slope and afrording ex
cellent opportunities for power develop
ment. A reliable water supply is as
sured by the return waters from the
irrigated areas above, large proportion
of the water seeping back into the chan
mel, and by the lower tributaries of the
river. The future use of this exceptional
combination of abundant water supply,
large area OF irrigable land, and great
water powers will transform the Des-
chutes valley into region whose agri-
cultural Importance viii be enhanced by
the many hydroelectric plants that will
furnish power for local use or for trans
mission to distant power markets.
Desehutes and its tributaries have been
under investigation for several years by
the engineers of the United States geo.
logical survey in cooperation with the
state engineer Of Oregon, and the federal
survey has just issued comprehensive
report discussing the irrigation and pow
er possibilities OF its drainage balm. The |
of power resources indi- |
cate that after allowance is made for |
of irrigation, total Of |
100000 horsepower may be developed. |
The report discusses these resources in /
considerable detail. the discussion be.

made from 1905 to 1912.

DEMOCRATS
RUSH BILLS
Would Pass All Possible in
the Next Ses-
sion
EXTRA SESSION
MAY BE AVOIDED
All the Measures Left Over
Would Be Re-
vised

i Washington, Dec. 5.-The Democrats
are planning desperately to avoid being
forced into an extra session, which would
bring into existence the newly elected
House, with its slim Democratic major
ity. The District of Columbia appropria-
ton bill will be reported to the House
Monday, the enemies Of the district hay
ing abandoned for the time being their
scheme to break the partnership with the
| United States and force the taxpayers
| of Washington to meet the expenses of a
national capital. Hearings on the great
legislative bill have been closed and the
measure probably will go into the House
the last of next week Hearings on the
army and navy supply bills have been in
progress several days. 1t is conceivable
that all these important measures can be
passed through the House before the hol-
days.
Chairman Fitzgerald's significant hint
that no general legislation must be at
tempted at this session is recognized at
its face value here, where it is known
that the Republicans, particularly, in the
Senate, will try to defeat some OF the
supply bills ii the president tries to force
his ship purchase scheme through. The
Importance OF early action on appropria-
ton bills lies also in the fact that all
pending measures of every character be-
fore the SD Congress die with that Con-
eress. Should an extra session be called
the Congress elected last November
would be sworn in, long delay might
ensue over committee Establishments and
il would be necessary TO reintroduce all
appropriation bills, Partisans
divide over appropriation measures more
rapidly than over any Others, owing to
strong local influences, and an army and |
navy bill whose provisions could be car
-ied through safely in the 63d Congress |
might be materially changed in the Gath.
The situation in the Senate at least is
very threatening for ship purchase and |
which are pet projects of

ITALY FIGHTS ARIZONA LAW.
Formal Protest Lodged with State De.
partment Yesterday.

Washington. Dec. 5.--The Italian am
/ bassador, Count di Cellere, called person
ally at the state department yesterday
to lodge protest against the Arizona
law which requires at least so per cent
OF certain employees in that state to be
American citizens. The British ambas-
sador already has protested for his gov
crnment.
The reasons given for the protest are
that the law is in direct violation of the
provisions in the treaty between the
United States. Great Britain and Italy
guaranteeing their citizens the same
rights as are enjoyed by American citf-
zcns in the states in the matter Of en-
ployment and travel. The Italian case is
said TO be stronger than the British be-
cause the Italian treaty provision is more
specific in its recognition OF Italian
rights. The protests have been referred
to the solicitor of-the state department.
There is in some respects a resemb-
lance between the Arizona law and the
California anti.alien legislation which
brought a protest from Japan that re-
mains unsettled.

died of two bullet wounds inflicted by
Mrs. Plummer, who opened fire upon two
robbers who had shot her husband.
Another burglar is believed to have

Mrs. Plummer's husband, who was shot

Two men appeared at the Plummer
home shortly before midnight. Plummer
answered the doorbell. They levelled re-
volvers at him. He made a quick move
and they fired two bullets into his head
and leg.
Mrs. Plummer, who was upstairs,
grabbed revolver and opened fire on the
men as she descended. Answering her
fire, the men backed through the house
and retreated through the back door.
The police found one man hanging over
fence when they arrived. Bullets had
taken effect through the eye and breast.
The man still held revolver in his hand.
Bloodstains traced the yard, indicating
the other burglar was wounded

failed to find further trace of the second
man.

Caring for Cray Hair.

it is even in color and smooth in texture
and should be brushed carefully and reg

Gray hair will be of more uniform
shade if borax is put in the water in
which it is washed, and if the hair is an
ugly yellowish gray or white a little

water. will remove the offensive tinge

Russia Has Closed Up Saloon During
War.

Farm and Fireside, the national farm
paper published at Springfield, O., con-
.ains in its current issue an editorial
calling attention to the fact that the
Russian government has always derived
large income from taxes on vodka, the
principal drink used in Russia. At the
opening of the war, however, Russia de-
cided to close all vodka shops. Follow
ing is an extract from the editorial:
when the war opened Russia found
in power certain men who had seen that
the vodka was sapping the very life of
Russia, and all at once, as war meas
ure, the liquor shops were closed. For
the first time in their lives the peasants
remained sober. They may have been
intoxicated with the war fever sedu-
lousy preached to them by their priests
at the behest OF the Gar, but as for
alcoholic intoxication, they were free
OF it.
"The results are said 10 be marvellous.
Even in the midst OF the dreadful strug-
gle of the war the peasants are better
and happier than when they had the
open vodka shop. They find that of
the two evils war is less than drunken
ness. They are living better, saving
their small earnings in part, becoming
better and more efficient men.
If this experiment in prohibition is
carried on TO success as permanent
policy in Russia il will be the most
demonstration OF its benefits
,yer given TO the world, 1t will show
Just what the evils of vodka were. II /
will show, too, the extent to which pro-
laws can be enforced under an |
'bsolute depotism, And it may make ,
,ome of our more enthusiastic prohibit |
ionists look longingly towards the
zar's dominions as they see the diff
ulties which beset the enforcement of
uch laws in 4 country in which the
'ilicers in charge of il are elected by
ocal popular vote
