MAY LOSE WATER. North Powder Company Has Prior Right Over Farmers. Baker City That the ranchers in some portions of the North Powder country are to suffer the loss of water at this important time of the year is evident if the order goes into effect that was made by the North Powder M. & M. company, which owns and operates the flouring mill at that sta tion. The company has prior water rights, but in the past has had a surplus of water. It was decided to divide the water with ranchers who would put land in cultivation, the division to continue until any time it was found necessary to have the whole supply for milling purposes. Crops have been planted and the desert soil responded admirably to the tiller’s efforts. ¡¡Now, however, the water supply is short, and the milling company was forced to order all wat< r belonging to their water right to be turned into the canal that feeds the mill supply. The hardship that will be worked on those who have pent their time and work in c iltivating lands that were watered by the mill’s surplus will probably be hard. According to the opinion of many, however, there was nothing else for the mill to do in order to protect its business. THE STATE FAIR. Thousands of Dollars Being Spent to Make It Success. Salem For the state fair in 1907 the Southern Pacific railroad handled 215 carloads of stock and exhibits. This year, while the fair is yet more than six weeks away, 219 cars have been ordered for hauling exhibits and stock. Many favorable conditions are working together harmoniously for a great fair at Salem next month. Several thousand dollars have been expended in enlarging the permanent exhibit building. The grand stand has been enlarged so that it will accommo- date one-third more people, Men have been at work on the grounds for some weeks preparing them for the fair. The shrubbery and grass is being cared for and skeletons for decoration pur poses are being erected. All prepara tions are .- farting early. A feature that will greatly assist to make the state fair this year of more worth and value will be the co-opera tion of the Portland Country dull, which is offering attractive purses for the livestock exhibitions ami races. Pendleton During the pnst 12 months tin-sum of $125,000 has be rmi paid to the 1,000 Indians of the Unia tilla r< ervation. This amount has been paid in sums varying from $10 per capita per month to $500 each. Every man, woman and child has re ceived in tile neighborhood of $125 each. Al) of this vast sum has been spent directly in the channels of trade in Pendleton and is one of the chief sources of business for the merchants of the city. But little dissatisfaction is found among the Indians, and the reservation is now in better condition than for years. Jacksonville Post Kootenai Falls Prey to Flames and Sand Point is Threatened. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, OREGON University of Oregon, Eugene Ac- cording to reports received here, the state salmon hatchery up the McKen zie river will not be abandoned, but extended, and arrangements will be made this fall so that trout as well as salmon can be hatched. The citizens of Eugene will provide the money for the importation of trout eggs from the East. It was rumored some time ago that the hatchery would be abandoned, but it is evident from a letter of the state fish commissioner that great im provements will be made in the estab lishment. Spokane, Aug. 12. A Sand Point, Idaho, special to the Spokesman Re view says: With the wind blowing a gale and the adjacent town of Kootenai wiped out, it seems that no power can save Sand Point. At 0 o’clock last evening a small forest fire north of Kootenai was blown into the town and the town of 300 inhabitants was burned to the ground. The Humbird Lumber company has a $200,000 mill at Kootenai, which burn ed to the ground, and which was only partly insured. At present the fire is within 2,000 feet of the Panhandle smelter, which seems doomed. The homeless people of the little hamlet of Kootenai have been brought here, and are being cared for by citi zens. AM of them lost their belong ings. Over 500 volunteers are fighting the approach of the flames. Sand Point has a population of about 10,000. An appeal has just been sent to the Spo kane fire department for aid. It was impossible at midnight to learn the extent of the damage by fire at Sand Point. The telegraph wires are down and connection is lost with the regular telephone line, but the operator of the Independent Telehpone office at Sand Point, states that Sand Point is in no immeditae danger, The town of Kootenai was burned, but the big mill of the Humbird company was saved. Reports are conflicting regarding the smelter at Ponderay, near Sand Point, one report declaring that it was burned while the other states that the forest fire was near but the smelter was still safe.

Eastern Capitalists Will Do This County Builds Bridges. if Salem The County Commissioners’ court at their last meeting heard the petition of Mining Engineer Gadsden, representing Eastern capitalists, for th" appropriation of $2,000 for the ! u l ling of five bridges across the San- Cc.m river, to make the Gold Creek copper mini s accessible. In return for this investment, Mr. Gadsden guaran- t < < the e rection of a smelter with a capacity of 100 tons per day. It is expected that the- opening up of the se mines arid the building of the smelter will result in the location of a refinery in this city. The Gold Creek mines are located on the head waters of th" Santiam in the extreme Eastern part of Marion county. A number of leading citizens appear ed before the court and t rgued in favor of the $2,000 appropriation. Enlarge Salem Hatchery. Roseburg The contract for the hor ticultural exhibit building to be erect ed on the depot grounds, was awarded to Contractor F. F. Patterson. Con struction work will begin in a few days. The building is to be mainly of plate glass, making an excellent dis play pavilion. Booster Zurcher has already started on a collecting tour for native exhibits of fruits and vege tables, so that the tourist may see what is raised in Douglas county. Realizes Good Prices on Horses. Drewsey I. M. Davis, one of the principal business men of this place, is home after an absence of several weeks in Pendleton and other railroad points.

Hongkong, Aug. 12.- In a report is sued today from the headquarters of the government relief station it is stated that advices from Southern China give details of appalling condi tions among the victims of the recent typhoon, which laid waste an immense territory along the coast and killed thousands of natives. The report says that more than 1,- 500,000 refugees are at the point of death from exposure and starvation, and that many thousands have suc cumbed since the disaster. The tales of hardship and destitution are pitiful in the extreme. Scores of refugees in all quarters are without shelter of any kind, forced to spend days and nights huddled together like stormbound sheep. In some districts there is oidy sufficient food to supply one meal a day. More terrible are the conditions in other localities, where there is absolutely no food, and the people are dying by the hundreds, The dead are piled in heaps, no burial be- ing possible. ► : : I Contractor and Buüder Estimates Furnished on Buildings.

Jacksonville Charles F. Dunford MEXICANS USE TORTURE. Tear Out Americans’ Nails to Secure Names of Confederates. Pittsburg, Aug. 12. Police officials here have received news of the tortur ing of William Moffatt and Edward Maloney, who were arrested recently in Mexico City on a charge of robbing a bank messenger. Moffatt and Ma loney, the police here say, were well knowt to them before leaving for Mexico. Two companions escaped the officers when the Pittsburgers were arrested and the Mexican police demanded their names. Refusing to betray their com panions, the men allege that they were strapped by the wrists to the bars of their cells, while the officials with for ceps tore the nails from their hands. Unable to bear the agony, the men gave the names of their companions. “I suppose,” said Captain of Detec tives Edwin T. McGough today, ‘‘if it were not for the record of the men, their torture would mean international complications.” < < < < < < < < < < < < J JACKSONVILLE, H. K. HANNA, JR.
