The authorities repeatedly r-i-(iiiealetl the surrender of this man, and the Kussians recently eonaentji to give him up.

Most of Klamath Marab Will Then be Reclaimed. Salem State Treasurre Moore is of the opinion that the proper plan for the'state to pursue in disposing of its lands on Klamath marsh, should the state tinally acipure them, is to sell the entire tract in a lump to the- high est bidder. lie believes this is advisa ble for the reason that if the tract is cut np and sold to various crons it will be impossible to unite the several interests in any enterprise looking to the reclamation of the land. In order to make the land of value to its own ers, it must i drained, and toe same work that drain part of it will drain practically all of it. If it be sold in small tracts, a part of the purchasers can sit back and do nothing, leaving the more enterprising to bear the ex pense of draining the marsh, while 'all would share in the lssnefltn. Under such circumstances, it il doubtful whether any one would undertake the reclummation work and also whether there would l purchasers for any but the t?st of the swamp land. Nlbley Buya Timber Holdings. Pendleton A deed lias been filed with the conntv recorder wherebv J. D. Casey and wife sold a half interest in their timber holdings, located on the Blue mountains in the vicinity of Meachem, to C. V. Nibley for 15,000. It comprises tract of about 1,000 acres.

He is also given the right to establish saw mills and other necessarv machinery and transportation lines on the proper ty, to he used in carrying away the pro ducts.

The price paid was four cents for feed ers and four and one half cents for fat hogs. The price of wheat and all other grains is so high in thi county this fall that the farmers are selling off their stock of hogs rather than feed them ami take chances. He Buys Two Large Tracts. Fendleton At an aggregate cost of vS,T00, Nets P. Johnson of Weston has purchased two pieces of property repre senting nearly 000 acres. The tirst purchase was made from Henrv 1 mk- erton.

There will be about 1 ,000 more ton ftf beet snd the factory will ion until about November 10. REACHING FOR 0RB0ON CITY. City and Suburban Leases Roadbed From Southern Pacific. Oregon City Residents of Clackamas say that negotiations have Is-en con cluded by which the Cty A Suburban railway company, of Portland, has leased from the Southern Pacific com pany the railroad bed of that cortra tion between Willslmrg anil Clacka mas. There has for many months been rumors of such a ileal, and the an nouncement of its consummation cause much speculation locally. The feasi bility of such an arrangement is recog nized since it is known that the South ern Pacific company has taken the pre liminary steps to construct another road tied by which its west side trains may reach Portland from the east side, the Wiliamatte river to be crossed at Oswego. From that point the route ol the road will be northerly connecting with the main line at Willsburg. An other line will extend from the Oswego crossing point tip the river joining the main lijie just below this city. In this way the railroad company proposes to avoid the existing heavy grades l tween this city and Willsburg, and at the same time shorten the route by four miles. The old line is to, Ih? used for local trains while the heavy traffic will be transferred to the new line. OREAT aUTCHERY AT ONTARIO. Enough Sale?aa Can Be Propogated There to Keep L'p Supply. Salem Thi new state salmon hatch ery at Ontario is the largest of its kind in the United States and perhaps in the world, says state treasurer C. S. Moore. The State Treasurer and Sec retary of State Dunbar have just re turned from an official visit to Ontario, where they inspected the new hatch ery. They report everything in satis factory condition and feel confident of a good season's work. A large number of fish have been taken and a good sup ply of eggs seems certain. "The new hatchery lias a capacity of 40,000,000 young fry a year," says Mr. Moore, "which is greater than the ca pacity of all the other hatcheries in the state combined. We believe that the problem of keeping up the supply of salmon has been solved and that this will lie clearly demonstrated in four or five years when the product of this hatchery begins to come back to the Colmubia river. Cannerymeii say that only about 1,000,000 salmon a year are taken in the Columbia. If only one in every 20 of the fish we turn out at Ontario should come back, we would have enough to keep up the supply." Lamp Is of Iron. Oregon Citv It. now enia an aa. sured fact that the huge lump of iron found on a farm near this city recently is a meteor. An assay has been made, and it is found to lie nearly pure iron, with a trace of nickel. It is excessive ly tough, and broke several hack-saw blades in efforts to cut off small pieces.

The presi dent today issued his annual Thanks giving proclamation in the following terms: By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation: "The season is at hand when, ac cording to the customs of our people, it falls upon the president to appoint a day of praise and thanksgiving to Ood. During the last year, the Lord has dealt bountifully with us, giving us peace at borne and abroad, and ths chance for our citizens to work for their welfare unhindered by war, famine or plague. It behooves us not only to rejoice greatly because of what has been given us, but to ac cept it with a solemn sense of respon sibility, realizing that under heaven it rests with ourselves to show that we are worthy to use aright what has thus been entrusted to our care. "In no other place, and at no other time, has the experiment of go?ern ment of the people, by the people and for the people been tried on so vast a scale as here in our own country in the opening years or the twentieth century. Failure would not only be a dreadful thing for all mankind, for it would mean loss of hopes for all who believe in the power and the righteousness of liberty. ".Therefore, in thanking Ood for the mercies extended to us in the past. we beseech Him that He may not withhold them in the future, and our hearts may be aroused to war stead fastly for good and against all forces of evil, public and private.
