COMPANY WANiTS'RAT-ENT Deschutes Irrigation People Say They Have Complied "With Provisions of Carey Act in the Pilot Butte Segregation. EAL.UM. Or., Sept 11. (Speclal.)-SU.te Enrineer J. H. Lewis and Engineer J O. Johnson, of the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Company, have widely divergent vjewa regarding the prerequisites for the o nnmvni of an nmrilcatlon for a patent to arid land under the terms of the Carey act. Their opinions were expressed ai the special meeting of the State Land Board today when the hoard naa tne ap plication under consideration. Th mmtunv ntk that a natent be Is en fnr- 77 (Vrt nsrrs of lMld in the Pilot Butte segregation, and at the meeting. they produced the certificate 01 an en gineer showing that the company has con atruriMi nnc mVdn canal SI miles long and ni intnmU with n earrvlnir capacity at zn cubic feet per second, and another main canal 16 miles long witn a capacuy of CD cubic feet per second, while the tract they wish patented will require but 360 cubic feet per second. Lewis States His Objections. State Engineer Lewis had. two objec tions to the approval of the applica tion for a patent. First, he wanted the board to adopt a rule fixing the amount of water to be allowed per acre, and. second, he wanted some rule established governing the distance within which the water must be brought to the land. John son had said that one cubic foot per sec ond Is- enough for 160 acres but Mr. Lewis found that In Idaho the rules require in many cases a cubic foot per second for each 0 or 50 acres. Lewis- idea was that, although the com pany may have carrying capacity enough to supply this tract, yet they plan to Ir rigate other land with a part of the water flowing In these canals. His seoond ob jection arose from the fact that some 0000 acres of the land classed as reclaimed la ten miles from the end of the canal. He thought that a little too far. He was then asked If it should be brought to the oige of each legal subdivision, but ex proesod the opinion that it should be brought within a mile. Question of Laterals. Johnson contended that all the Govern ment requires under the Carey act Is that there shall be water enough In the main canal to reclaim all the land. The land ten miles away, he said, would be reached by a lateral. Lewis replied that if the company Is entitled to have a patent Is sued when It has brought the water with in ten miles of the land, why could it not merely build a short canal of large capacity and then ask for a patent to the whole tract, alleging that the canal carried water enough for all the land and that the remaining ditches necessary are all laterals. Johnson insisted that the State Land Board should be no more exacting than is the Government, and If the Govern ment will issue a patent upon the show ing- made, the state should be satisfied. He asserted that if the company lias a canal of sufficient capacity and a suffi cient supply of water, it has filled the requirements, even though no water be actually in the canal. Board Takes Company's Side. Members of the State Land Board were inclined to agree with Johnson that If the Government Is satisfied with the work done, the Board should be; for the question, they said, is whether the state has earned Its grant under the Carey act, through the con struction of the irrigation system by the Deschutes company. At the same time one member of the Board, Dun bar, expressed the opinion that It would be better for the company to ask that a patent be issued for the land near Its main canal and cut out that ten miles away. Upon the question of the quantity of water, the Board would take no final action, but told the State Engineer that they will bonslder one cubic foot per second for each 80 acres sufficient for the purposos of this appropriation for tho present. They instructed him to visit the tract, -which lies between Bend and Crooked Rivers, in Crook County, and ascertain whether the canals have the capacity represented and whether tho canal system will fur nish water for the land for which pat ent is asked. The matters of seepage, elevation of tho land, etc., are to be Investigated. Too Early to Consider. Lewis raised two other questions which the Board did not consider, be cause not deemed necessary at this time. One was that as soon as the pat ent Is Issued, the company begins to draw Interest on the whole cost of the system, although only a part of the system has been built The other was that in alleging one cubic foot of water per second as sufficient for 160 acres, the company figures upon an ir rigation season of 210 days, whereas the irrigation season in the Deschutes lasts only about 80 days, thus shorten ing the time within which a given amount of water must be supplied. Lewis urged that it is time for rules and regulations to be adopted on these subjects so that the settlers may know what they are entitled to in the dis tribution of water. No action was taken on this matter. VACANCIES ARE FILLED. Election for Executive Committee Is Held in Y. M. C. A. Convention. SEASIDE. Or.. Sept. 11. (Special.)

NO. GHANGE IN THE GRADE WASHINGTON TEST FOR NO. 1 WHEAT REMAINS 58 POUNDS. State Grain Commission Holds That Additional Pound "Would. Bo Detrimental to Producers, TACOMA. Wash., Sept 1L (Special.) There will be no change in the pres ent system of grading wheat In the State of Washington, according to statements made tonight by members of the State Grain Commission, which met In this city today for Its annual meeting. Tho commission took no de cided action on any questions today. but It was announced at the meeting that there would be no changes made in the grade. Some time ago the Portland Chamber cf Commerce asked .the Washington commission to change the jrrade to conform with the Oregon rules, making the test weight for No. 1 whoat 59 pounds. Instead of 58. Washington now accepts 58 pounds as the test and there will be no change. The change would mean that all wheat fall ing beloW the 59-pound test would have to be classes as No. 2, and. it would work a hardship on the pro ducer, although the exporter might be a small gainer by uch a change. Regarding the request of the millers of the state for action on the part of the commission In fixing dockage charges, the commission will probably decide that it has authority to fix such charges and will probably take eorao action at the meeting of that body to day. Commissioner W. H. Reed stated that there was more smut in the Wash ington wheat this year than'evor be-1 fore. The commission will hold an other ses3lori tomorrow.

FEW TRESTLES REMAIN Work Is Carried on Without Great Delay' to tho Largest Amount of Traffic Ever Handled by the Road. GRANT'S PASS. Or., Sept 1L (Spe cial.) The Southern Pacific Company has continued, this season, the extensive bet terment to Its roadbed that: was begun last year on this division of the com pany'a lines. The relaying of the track. from Cottage Grove to Ashland with ex pound steel rails, to take the place of the 6-pound steel rails heretofore in use. is now completed, and a large force of men Is at worK reballastlng the track and put ting the roadbed In perfect condition to withstand the heavier traffic now on the road and the Winter storms that hereto fore have so often delayed, trains on the mountain sections. All wooden bridges and trestles are be ing done away with. The larger streams are to be spanned by steel bridges, while the smaller ones will have concrete arches and the trestles will be replaced by earth fills. The concrete piers' for the bridge across Rogue River are completed, and the work Is now under way of putting in the steel bridge to replace the present wooden structure. The concrete crew Is now putting in the piers for the new bridge across Evans Creek at Woodvllle. and so soon as the bridge crew is through at Gold Hill, it will put In the steel bridge that Is' to span this stream. Trestles in large number have been re placed by fills, and the work Is to con tinue until all the trestles on this division will be done away with. The Pacific Con struction Company, of Portland, which has had a big crew of men. a steam shovel and a train of dump-cars employed for the last year at work on this division. Is now making the fill In Hades Canyon, near Leland. This canyon Is 103 feet deep and over 300 feet wide. Brimstone Canyon Is another geograph ical name of that locality that will pass from the railroad men's list of danger points, for It too. Is to be filled. This canyon Is as deep and dangerous as its neighbor. Hades Canyon, whose name Is so suggestive of bad things, and will be a big Job that the railroad company will begin on next Spring. Along the line curves are being lessened or eliminated, and heavy grades lowered, and the trac put In the best condition possible for the heavier engines and big ger trains that are now being run. With the completion of the betterment of the roadbed will come faster trains, and it Is likely that the train time between South ern Oregon points and Portland and San Francisco wIU be reduced from two to four hours less than Is no-ftr required for tho trip. This bridge-building, filling and track- laying has been carried on without caus ing the least delay to the immense traffic that the Lewis and Clark Fair has brought to this division. The four pas senger trains, two each way. that are on the Shasta route between Portland and San Francisco, have each been run in from two to four sections since the open ing of the Fair, in addition to the many special trains that have gone through. For much of the time 12 to IS passenger trains 'dally have passed Grant's Pass, and long trains, requiring from two to three locomotives to haul them over the Calapoola, Umpqua and Siskiyou divides. While much of this traffic was California and local, yet a great part of it was Eastern people going to or returning from the Fair, many of those coming to Portland over the northern routes return ing East over the southern routes, and the reverse with those coming from the South. Thus this route has had to carry a large part of the traffic that has come to Port land over seven transcontinental railroads the Sunset and Central Pacific lines of the Southern Pacific system, the Santa Fe, the- O. R. & N., the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern and the Canadian Pacific To add to this Immense passenger busi ness, the freight traffic has been the largest ever had over this division. Fully 10 per cent more freight has been shipped from and received at stations in Southern Oregon than was handled last year, or any previous year. With the great In crease that is now on m the mining, tim ber and stock industries, and' the immense acreage of fruit that is coming into full bearing, together with the increase in the melon and hay shipments, and that of merchandise and other commodities. It is certain the freight for South ern Oregon will Increase at a faster rate hereafter, and it Is safe to assume that the rate of gain will be far more than 10 per cent for next year.

CHEMAWA. Or., Sept. 11. (Special.) After a couple of years' service among the Indians of the Northwest. John Mc Mullen has been appointed by the In sular Service to report to Manila for duty aa teacher, and he has left for his new field of duty. Biliousness, dyspepsia, loss of appetite, .Disturbed sleep, nervousness, headache, giddiness and .drowsiness, windvand pain or fullness of the stomach after meals, cold chills and flushings of heat, short ness of breath these are the blank cheques of physical bankruptcy. The man who suffers from these dis orders and neglects them will soon be In the relentless grasp of some fatal disease.

"In the lead mines I was at work on my knees with my elbows pressed agaiusfc rock walls, in darapuess and extremes of cold," said Mr. J. G. Meokel, of 2975 Jackson-arenno, Dubuque, Iowa, in de scribing his experience to a reporter, "and it is not surprising that I con tracted rheumatism. For three years I had attacks affecting the joints of my ankles, knees and elbows. My ankles aud knees became so swollen I could scarcely walk, on uneven ground and & little pressure from n, stone under my feet would cause me so much pain that I would nearly sink down. I was often obliged to lie in bed for several days at a time. My friends who were similariy troubled were getting no relief from doctors and-1 did not feel encouraged to throw money away for nothing. By chance I read the story of Robert Yates, of the Klauer Manufacturing Co., of Dabuque, who had a very bad case of rheumatism. I decided to try Dr. "Wil liams' Pink Pills for Pole People, th remedy he had used. In three or four" weeks after beginning to use the pills, I was much better and in three months I was well. The swelling of the joints and the tenderness disappeared, I could, work steadily and for eight vears I havo had no return of the trouble. My whole family believe in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Both my sons use them. "We consider them a household remedy thafc we ore sure about."
