Yours truly,
Director and Chief Engineer


DR.. Henry Hart, president of the
Water Users Association, received
the above letter Saturday from Ar.
thur P. Davis, director and chief en-.
gineer of the federal reclamation
service, Washington, D. c., formally
approving the application made by
the association for a federal survey
of the water resources of the Rogue
River valley jointly by the federal
and state governments.
The survey will be made at once
by Engineer Whistler, who is division
engineer at Portland, in conjunction
with State Engineer Lewis, and will
be paid for from the fund set aside
by the state and government for Joint
reclamation work. .h
The object of the survey is to as
certain definitely the area of the val
ley that can be irrigated, the amount
OF water available for irrigation from
the various sources, the estimated
cost of construction and recommend
ations as to methods of securing the
water.
The amount of water that can be
developed from each available source,
the cost of developing and placing it
on land, the comparative merits of
the various irrigation schemes will
be definitely ascertained by non-in-
terested and authoritative engineers,
whose recommendation will form a
definite plan to present to the people
to secure needed irrigation.
Hitherto the league has been work
ing blindly without a definite plan
for securing water. Its efforts have
been directed to arousing irrigation
sentiment. Not having the funds
necessary to secure the survey, appli-
cation was made to the reclamation
service and state authorities for aid
and though the fund provided has
usually been used for arid land
projects instead of settled districts,
an exception was made for the bene-
fit of the valley, whose need of irri-
cation aid is realized even in Wash
ington.
To secure the cooperation of the
reclamation service, it was necessary
to secure the approval of Secretary
of the Interior Franklin K Lane,
through the assistance of Senator's
Chamberlain and Lane and the CO.
operation OF Governors Wlthycombe,
State Engineer Lewis and other Off
cials.

Panama Canal
Helps Shippers

Ashland merchants often receive
goods now via the Panama canal, as
1t is considerably cheaper. Goods
come to San Francisco and then to
Ashland over the Southern Pacific
railroad. The canal has certainly
been a tremendous advantage to
American shipping, as one vessel do
ing coast to coast work can now han
die about twice as much business as
before, as the distance is cut in half.
"The fundamental purpose of the
canal is to save time" says the Canal
Record. "The prevailing high prices
for charters make this of especial i'm
portance at present. In addition to
the economies effected by saving
time and reducing overhead expenses
due to the shorter time of travel, the
shorter route can greatly increase
the effectiveness of the fleets. Be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific coasts
of the United States one vessel can
now haul practically what two would
have been needed for over the route
around South America"
The Canal Record then cites the
case of the steamer Pennsylvania to
show the actual effectiveness of the
canal in expediting trade between the
two coasts.
The American Hawaiian liner set
new record for time of transit from
Philadelphia to San Francisco, max
ing the voyage in IA days, II hours
and 25 minutes, her average speed
over the course of $50 nautical
miles being 14k knots, or S4S miles,
a day
Had the Pennsylvania made the
voyage from Philadelphia to San
Francisco by way of the Straits of
Magellan, distance of 1908 miles,
at the same speed, the voyage would
have required more than 81 days.
This is. more than two and half
times as long as the trip by way of
the canal. The 1897 barrels of fuel
oil which the Pennsylvania burned
on the trip by way of the canal would
have been increased for the longer |
voyage to 9,942 barrels. The use OF
the canal saved 5,965 barrels of oil.
At 80 cents barrel, this amounts to
$4,SS2. The canal tolls on the Penn
sylvania, levied at $1.25 per ton on
6,064 net tons, United States regis
try, amounted to 5000. In other
words, the saving on fuel alone in
this case, by the use of the canal,
comes to within $500 of paying the
tolls on the ship. The saving of all
the other per diem expenses of opera
ton, possibly 5000 per day, for %
days, represents almost clear saw
ing to the operator.
Incorporated in the statement is a
table showing the number of days
saved for vessels of different speeds
by the Panama canal route between
Atlantic and Pacific ports. This ta-
BILE shows that nine-knot vessel
from New York to Portland saves
35.9 days, 12-knot vessel 26.S days,
a 14-knot vessel 1928 days, and a
16-knot steamer saves 20 days.
In the same way lesser saving is
made by steamers plying from Liv-
erpool to Portland or vice versa. On
this run a nine-knot steamer would
save 25.7 days by using the canal,
A 10-knot steamer 2S.1 days, 2 H.
knot steamer 1911 days, 14-knot
steamer 1853 days, and a 16-knot
fessel 14.2 days.

COTTON RECEIVERS
AN EARLY DECLINE
Export Movement and Mill
Activity Steadied Market in
Late Trading.

The cotton market was unsettled
again yesterday, but an early loss was
recovered, and the close was firm. net
4 points lower 20 points higher
March showing the final loss, while
later months were from 2 to points
net higher. The opening was at de-
cline Of 70 s points, IN response to
relatively easy cables, and the active
months sold TO points net lower
during the early trading
There was a good demand on scale
down, and the market soon steadied.
Trading became less active as prices
worked upward, but the market was
Arm in the late trading, and last prices
we're about the best Of the day. The
continued full export movement and
the relatively heavy spinners' takings
for the last week may have encouraged
buying on the late advance, while
there was nothing 10 indicate any ad-
vance IN marine risks, and il was re-
ported that no less than fifty steamers
were waiting TO load at Savannah. The
freight rate on cotton from New York

hundred pounds.
There was meeting Of the revision
committee Of tho Cotton Exchange
after the close yesterday, the first to
be held under the government rules
and regulations, but no differences
were established and the meeting was
adjourned until to-day.
Exports for the day were 59,l69
bales, making 4,575,914 bales so far
this season. Southern spot markets
were unchanged to &c lower, and the
local market for spot was quiet at
s.55c for middling upland; no sales.
