United States Engineer Stsrts for the,
Field to Push the Work.
San Francisco, Ca':., May 20. E. G.
Perkins, an engineer in, the United
States reclamation service, geological
department, leit tonight for the north.
here he is to itait the enormous re
clamation works in the Klamath basin.
for which the sum of $4,400,000 haa
been appropriated.
This work will probably be the larg
est in this part of the country, and th
land that i to be reclaimed will be
le to aupport a population of at least
100,000 souls.
There is to be little delay in the be
ginning of the reclamation project, and
Mr. Perkins i going north to look over
the ground and commence operation.
According to estimate' ol engineers
there is embraced in Klamath basin 5,
505 acres of public lands and 42,825
acres of private lands, making a total
of 48,330 acres. The valley of Langell,
Alkali and Poor will be reclaimed, and
aa this land is faid to be among the
richest in this part of the country, it
will not be a matter of difficulty to get
people to settle there.
It ia only within the past lew years
that the cattlemen have attempted to
cultivate that land For years it waa
given over to the pasturing of stock and
the only feed that was given the came
during the winter month was from the
tale bay cut on the borders ol luie
lake. Home few years ago a company
brought water on the land along the
northern shores of Tale lake and alfalfa
was planted and also orchard were
pat in.

Minister Conger Ridicule Talk of
Revenge for Exclusion.
Leavenworth, Kan., May 26. -Edwin
. Conger, ex-mini8ter to China, ia
visiting bis daughter at Fort Leaven
worth. Mr. Conger is on his way to
hi new post in Mexico. VTne talk of
the Chinese retaliating against the ex
clusion ilaw by boycotting American '
made goods is amusing to me, said
pir. Conger today. "Of coarse you
know bow American politics are ran;
well, the Chinese were politicians be
fore America waa discovered, iney
know more tricks than their American
brethren.
"While much of the agitation baa
occurred Bince I left China, there waa
some prior to that. At these mass
meetings of merchants, as they were
called, there was a liberal sprinkling of
politicians and possibly one or more
merchants who had been ran in. The
politicians did most of the talking and
then the news was spread broadcast
that the merchants would boycott
American goods.
"I believe thai the truth ot the mat
ter is that the Chinese merchants have
no idea of boycotting American goods.
They are in business to make money,
and there is a demand for American
goods."

St. Petersburg, May 26. The new.
from the front continue, to point to the
proximity of fighting on a large scale.
Lieutenant General Linievitch sent
Lieutenant General Kennenkampff'a
Cossack, on a daring expedition around
Field Marshal Oyama'. left. Bennen
kampff succeeded in getting to the rear
of the Japanese, but he paid dearly.
his Cossack, being badly cut op.
Many believe that General Linievitcn
is trving to take the offen.ive out of
Marshal Oyama'. hands. The latter
has made all preparations against the
possible interruption ot biB communi
cations, and the cessation of tranpsort
service from Japanese ports. All rein
forcements available and immense
quantities of provisions and munition,
of war have been landed at Yinkow and
Dalnv since Vice Admiral Roiestvenssy
appeared in the straits of Malacca.

precursor of important developments.
General Linievitch has taken far great

out.
