There is Chance That Sufficient
Reclamation Money May
Come in to Purchase Site.
HEAD OF RECLAMATION
SERVICE MAKES SPEECH
Davis ImpresSes on West End
Settlers Need Of Raising
Both Livestock and Alfalfa.
''The Mckay creek project viii not

THE Mckay creek project will moi
be sidetracked for anything.
There is even a chance that suffi-
cient reclamation money may come
in this winter so that by December
steps may be taken to go ahead with
purchase OF the reservoir Site
These very welcome statements
were made at HermistOn Saturday
evening by no less parsonage than
A. =. Davis, head OF the reclamation
service, to a group OF west end people,
gathered TO meet with him Mr.. Da-
Wis reoched Hermiston Saturday
evening. accompanied by r. f. Wey-
mouth, head OF the Denver office of
the service.
Naturally the arrival OF the two
reclamation officials was of intense
interest TO those who have been work :
inR-e the Mckay reservoir. An In
formal gathering was held and the
reclamation head talked very frankly
of the situation.
"The money is appropriated for the
project but we do not have the dol
lars and we cannot go ahead with the
work unless we have the money. 9th
erwise It means the penitentiary, and
we do not want to go to the peniten-
tiary."
MIR. Davis, according to T.. p Dodd,
who brought news of the meeting
here yesterday, seems convinced that
sufficient money win come into the
reclamation fund during the winter so
that a start may be made on the pro-
ject here. However IL the Borah bill
providing for remission of cahrges for
n year on projects is passed there will
be no hope OF funds for another year.
During the meeting Saturday Mr..
Davis impressed west end settlers
the need or raising both livestock and
alfalfa. He said the alfalfa regions
OF the west are generally in better
shape than ether regions. He spoke
very highly Of the alfalfa producing
powers of the Hermiston country.
During the evening the officials
were entertained by Hermiston folk
and Sunday morning they left by auto
for Yakima.

EUREKA, Calf, Aug. S.-(U. P. y
Seventeen bodies have been recovered
and nine identified. The exact mum
Ter of passengers and crew aboard the
steamer Alaska is not known. But
they are estimated at from 210 to 2l6.
Cne hundred fifty seven survivors have
landed and the missing will probably
reach from AZ to SO. Attempts to
check the lists are now being made.
The explanation is that the Alaska 5
navigators lost their way in the heavy
fog, and got too close to the shore.
They changed their course several
times but it was unavailable. They
heard the Blunts Reef foghorn, but
were unable to locate ii. Then the
crash came, the vessel sinking in 80
minutes. Many OF the survivors float
ed for hours with their lifeboats and
boats before the rescung steamer.
Anyox picked them up. A green crew
is partially blamed for the loss of life.
Two lifebOats upset as they were being
launched, throwing their occupants
into the sea.
The steamer Anyox saved all the
survivors that have been brought to
shore The passengers are in pitiful
condition. They were picked from
the wreckage, where they had floateo
for hours, many covered with fuel oil
from the vessels bursting oiltanks.
The women's hair was matted as with
tar. The tug, Ranger brought in l2
dead and a fishing smack five more.
The cutter VenturesOme. combing the
waters around the reef failed TO find
the others. and they fear the sea has
claimed them for their own.
Captain Hovey, it is believed, went
down with his ship and two wireless
operators also. The wireless sent out
calls for help until the vessel, with the
stern holds well filled slipped from the
reef and plunged from sight. Captain
Hovey was on the bridge when last
seen. Following the crash the startled
passengers overflOwed the decks, chung

throwing the occupants into the sea,
crushing them between the vessels
sides and the swinging lifeboats. Most
of the persons that were lost died in
this way. Practically all the persons

The first sale of sheep in Eastern
Oregon to Idaho buyers to be made
this season so far as is known, was
consummated Saturday when Scott
Anderson of Boise purchased $500
head of ewes and lambs Of John Cum
ha, Echo Sheepman, one of the big
gest operators in the state.
Included in the lot were 1880 six.
year-old ewes and 1850 cross bred
lambs. The ewes, some of which were
younger. were Ramhouillets. and are
said to have been in excellent shape
The price that figured in the deal
was not given out but it is said to
have been satisfactory to both buyer
and seller. Other Idaho men are known
to be figuring on purchasing lambs
and breeding stuff from the flocks OF
Eastern oregon holders, and the next
few weeks is expected to see quite a
lot of sheep change hands. Idahos
hay crop is heavy one, and owing to
high railroad rates, it can not be ship
