COMPLETING RAILWAY TO KLAMATH FALLS KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. August II. Klamath Falls people are aware that it is practically out of the question fur the California Northeastern railroad to be extended to this city this year, but they are given every assurance 1 hat the rond will be completed to naviga ble water in t he fall of t he present yen r. The track is now laid to a point a short distance across the state line, and construction trains are running to that point, hauling heavy material and machinery. The force is now larger than it w:ii some few weeks ago and it is stated t hat about 7io men are employed on the roadbed from Hip ter minus of the mad to the edge of the marsh. The dike is still the one drawback to the early extension of the road -to this city. The two dredges on the job lose considerable time by breaks in the machinery and the dike is being built in a way that is unsatisfactory to the Southern Pacific engineers in charge of the construct inn. Progress is ex ceedingly slow, which means delay in reaching Klamath Falls. BEYCE STOPPED AT KINO'S PALACE AS LUNATIC LONDON. August 1 1.

Confronted with the practical cer tainty of a tolal failure of tho water August supply from Bear creek unless Nome remedy were speedily found, a wator famine, with nil its attendant inconve niences and dangers, the water commit tee and Superintendent Farrar of the pumping station evolved a plan of re lief which seems likely to prove n I most providential. Connection Witb Fish Lake Ditch. A connection is to bo made with the ditch nf the Fish Lake Ditch company off the northern end of the A street main of Ihe city distributing system. A temporary pumping plant will be in stalled ami this improvised method, it is hoped, will tide over the crisis and provide, during the next few weeks, a water supply sufficient at least to give the city some sort of fire pro tec (ion. 4000 Feet of Temporary Pipe. The distance from the city main to the ditch, which must be piped is be tween 1001) and .Hum teet. The city has in its possession approximately one third of the necessary pipe. Fortu nately an additional supply of pipe is easily accessible, as tho Grnydnn Min ing company of Gold Hill, in which Dr. Bay is largely interested, has Heveral thousand feet of pipe not now in use lying on the ground near the spot, and it is expected that arrangements can be made with that company for the use of their pipe in the emergency. Dr. Bay has been out of the city, and consequently could not be approached in the matter; but he is expected back this afternoon and it is stated on good authority that he is likely to readily .accede to the request of the water com mittee. Immediate Commencement of Work. Meanwhile measurements are being made today, tind Superintendent Farrar stated that the entire work of laying the pipe nnd putting in the pump ought not to consume more than three or four days. 11 is fortunate that such speedy relief is in sight, as it is almost a ques tion of hours now how long the city can stagger along on the steadily di minishing supply of water being pump ed from Bear en-ek. The large pump uring the last few days has been al most entirely abandoned, and as it is the small pump is taking out the water faster than it is coming in, and tho wa ler is slowly falling in the well inside the pumping station. About two feet of wnter remain over the bottom of the intake pipe. Record Low Water for Bear Creek, In the history of the water depart ment Bear creek has never before fallen so low, and the low mark in far from being reached yet. Kverything points (o a record drottgh in all the streams of the valley. Mnnv ol the smaller streams are entirely dried up, and the latest report from the Rogue river is to the effectt hat all low rec ords in the remembrance of the oldest settlers have been completely eclipsed.

" BE LAD) MANY CHINESE ARE STARVING Typhoon Spreads Death and Destruction in Its Wake in China HONGKONG, August 11. In a re port issued today from the headquar ters relief Htatiou, it is stated that ad vices from southern China give details of appalling conditions among tho vic tims of the recent typhoon, which laid waste an immense territory along the coast nnd killed thousands of natives. The report says that more than 1, 500,00)) refugees are at the point of death from exposure nnd thnt many thousands have succumbed since tho din aster. The tale of hardship aud destitution is pitiful in the extreme. Scores of the refugees in all quarters arc without shelter of nny kind, forced to speud days and nights huddled together like stormbound sheep. In some districts there is only sufficient food to supply one meal every three days. More ter rible are the conditions in other local ities where there is absolutely no food and the people nre dying by the hun Ireds. The dead are piled in heaps, no menns for their burial being possible. MRS. ISAACS WILL SOON OUTSTRIP BILL W. V.

AT POLLS IN Both Democratic and Re publican Parties Choos ing Delegates to Con ventions SAN FRANCISCO, Cab, August 11. Both tho republican and democratic par ties are holding primaries all over the state today for the selection of dele gates to state, congressional and legis lative conventions. The fight lint ween the "regulars" and the "reformers" of both parties has boon unusunlly bitter this year and has called out a greater vote than has ever been polled nt nil August primary in Ihe history of the state. The next legislnturo will have the selection of senator to succeed Senator Perkins, who is a enndidnte to succeed himself. This has added interest to the selection of delegates to tho party con ventions thnt name candidates for the state legislature. Fight at Sacramento. SACKAMKNTO, Cnl., August 11. While the hottest fight in the history of tho republican primaries in Sacra mento is being enacted today, up to noon there were no disturbances at the polls and Ihe election progressed smooth I y. Absolutely no interest is being betrayed on the democratic side, and tho slated ticket will go through with out opposition. Both tho machine nnd Lincolu-Itoose-velt wings of tho G. O, p. claim a vic tory with a majority of delegate in the next county and district conventions, and tho outcome is hard to predict, al though the regulars have the stronger organization and more sinews of war with which to direct the fight, nnd the advantage probably lies their way. Vote Is Heavy, Tho vote in the downtown precincts is light, but in the residence sections will probably be heavier than ever be fore nt a primary election. The regu lars hope tn carry two superviHoral dis tricts in the city aud while conceding the third to the reformers and a good part of the country, expect to get enough delegates in the outside district through the injection of a county su pervisal issue to control. The Lincolu Itoosoveltera figure upon the country almost solidly nnd at least one nnd prob ably two districts in tho city. Action nt the national committee In t making selection for Gillette for govern j or in 1!l0d a challenge test in the coun try district where primaries are unof ficial has caused a lot of dissension. Hundreds of republicans voted for Bell in preference to Gillette, nnd under a strict enforcement of tho rulo they could be held from voting. But the regulars claim thnt tho test will not be used save on democrats who may wish to assist the Itoform league, and no complaints have come from the coun try.

CALIFORNIA TURKISH ' MUSTER RECALLED Mehmed AH Bey Has Been Ordered Home by the Sultan-Other Ministers; Will Be Recalled CONSTANTINOPLE, August 11: The report that Sultan Abdul Hamll .II, had recalled Mohmed AH Bey, the Turk-, ish minister nt Washington, was con firmed today by officials of tho new' cabinet. It was lea mod also that the French and Russian ambassadors will, bo rooalled. It Is believed that tho entire diplo--inatic corps of Turkey will be changed before the sultan gets through with his program of reform. . i. No Charges. There are no specitic charges of in-1 I competency or maladministration against. Bey or the others, but the chnngos are to made merely to give Turkey an en-: tirely new service. It is stated that members of tho Young Turk party, who are now in absolute control of ther government, will bo sont to represent the Turkish government at the capitals of the world. - '...

He pledges himself, however, tn rush the work as rapidly as possiblo without risk of Injustice to offico holders or disorga tiia t ion of the government ma chinery. Almost a clean swoop has been made of the palace corps and Inspector Gen oral Ismail Pasha of the army schools1,' who organized the Mil Spy system, .has gone into hiding. An enormous mass of evidence has been laid: before the sultaii proving that Ismail used his offi eial position to ruin hundreds of politi cal enemies, sending men into exile B& amassing a fortune by blackmail, ' The sultan is anxious to mnko an exf- ample of him, and ho is in danger of assassination at the hands of tho mob if he is captured.

HOPEFUL OF GETTING PLENTY Of WATEE YRF.KA, Cal., August It. The mu nicipality has a force of workmen and and teams at work at the source of the water supply on Greenhorn endeavor ing to get a larger flow of water from the bedrock. When the city put in cement dam ou tho bedrock to bold. the wnter hack so that it would flow in the pipes instead of on down the un derground channol it is thought that the dnm did not extend clenr across tne channel and that water was flow ing around the end of tho dam. The object of the present work is to extend the dam so that it will catch all of the wnter and turn it into the pipes. Tho workmen can hear the water flowing whore they are working, and they nro confident that they will bo able to get eight or ten inches of water into tho pipes. If thin is tho case there will be ample water tn keep the roser voir full at nil times nnd the pump at the corporation works will he greatly relieved. ' ' For a time it looked as if there would be a scarcity of water for the balance of tho summer, hut the outlook is more cnuraging now, and it is thought that there will b plenty of water after all.
