NEW MALHEUR PLAN
Hope That Construction May
Begin Next Year. '
PLANS BEING PREPARED
"When They Arc Completed, Money
3Iay Bo Available Carey Selec
tion Sole Obstacle to Work
on Sunnysldc Canal.
OREGOKIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, Jan. 11. While the Reclama
tion Service Is hopeful of developing;
a, new Malheur Irrigation project in
Eastern Oregon that will not encounter
the obstacles which defeated the pro
ject originally planned, it is said to
day that at least one year will be re
quired to work out tho surveys and
'details of such a project.
It is a fact, however, that, even if
this revised project was complete in
overy detail and met with the approval
of tho Secrotary of the Interior, it
could not be constructed at this time,
because them is no money available in
the reclamation fund. By the time the
project has been fully developed, it is
quite likely there will be sufficient
money on hand to pay for its construc
tion and there Is a bright prospect
that within another year such a pro
ject will be adopted.
In tho meantime, if it becomes nec
essary to abandon the Umatilla pro
ject, the money apportioned for its
construction can be turned over for
use on the new Malheur project.
0"LY ONE OBSTACLE REMAINS
"With Carey Selection Removed, Sun
nysldc Project "Will Go Ahead.
ORPJGONIAX NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, Jan. 11. Representative Jones
was advised by the Interior Depart
ment today that all legal obstacles in
the way of the Sunnyplde irrigation
project in the Yakima Valley have now
been removed, save the state's Carey
act selection, which is about to be
cancelled. Thjs being the case, it is
now up to the Reclamation Service to
perfect its plans for the work. By the
time that is done, it is believed propos
als can be invited.
President Blaine, of the Sunnysldc
Canal Company, will be hore next week
to refute the arguments which it is
expected Land Commissioner Ross will
make in support of the state's selec
tion. Mr. Blaine will show that the
state could not irrigate the land cov
ered by its selection, even were tho
selection approved, for there is no
available water in the Yakima River
without storage and the Government
Idas reserved all reservoir sites, so
that storage by private interests is
out of the question. Mr. Blaine is
anxious to sell his canal to the Gov-
ernmcnt and the Government is just
as anxious to buy.

STOCK FORGER IS FOUND
Skillful Fraud Perpetrated on Nor
folk & "Western Railroad.
NEW YORK, Jan. 11. Announcement
was made today by detectives engaged on
the case that the mystery surrounding
the origin of the counterfeit Norfolk &
Western Railway stock certificates recent
ly placed on the market had been cleared
up and that the man most wanted In con
nection with the forgeries was under ar
rest. The officers said that Charles Augustus
Scton, the promoter, who was arrested in
Turkstown, a hamlet near Elkton, Md.,
last night on a charge of grand larceny,
Is in nowise connected with the stock cer
tificate forgeries, but would be a valuable
witness, as be is alleged to have received
one of the counterfeit certificates.
The lithograph stone from which the
bogus certificates were made and corre
spondence alleged to implicate the sus
pect, have been turned over to the District
Attorney's office. A piece of letter and an
alleged forged order for stock certificates
addressed to the Hamilton Bank Note
Company, and purporting to be signed by
the president of the Norfolk & Western,
wero found in a Wall street office during
a search among the effects of a suspect
In another case, last September, after the
forged certificates were marketed. The
lato was traced through the correspond
ence. Tho suspect in the forgery case, the
officers say, went to the Hamilton Bank
Note Company, in this city, and, showing
. letter written on the stationery of the
Waldorf-Astoria, and purporting to come
from the president of the Norfolk & West
ern Railway, ordered 500 certificates of
300 shares of common stock each. They
wero made in two books. A lith
ographer, Gustave G. Schwartzwald, said
that the "transfer" hadbeen made from
a good certificate withodt breaking it up
sit all, which would be exceedingly diffi
cult. He gave the names of several men
who, he believed, were able to do such
work. Two of them are in Canada.
Seton. who is charged with grand lar
ceny, comes from Cleveland, and' is said
to be well known there. He inherited
$40,000 from his father. He was arrested
for fraud in connection with the India
Famine Belief Fund, but was discharged,
the complainant having gone to Europe.

FIRST SUSPECT IS ARRESTED
Alleged Newspaper Writer Accused
of Selling Forged Stock.
NEW YORK,Jan. 11. Samuel Humph
reys, a "newspaper writer," was ar
rested here today on a charge
of selling bogus certificates of 100 shares
of the Norfolk . Western Railroad Com
pany to a dealer in securities in this city.
As only four or five of the certificates
havo been discovered and each of them
is for-100 shares, with an "aggregate mar
ket value of about $8000, It Is evident that
tho amount realized by the operators Is
very large, if they have disposed of many
of the certificates.
Humphreys was arraigned and held in
$2500 ball for examination tomorrow, and
remanded to police headquarters.

HIT BY RUNAWAY TRAIN
Fast Mail Wrecked in Nevada, but
Trainmen All Escape.
WELLS, Nov., Jan. 1L Southern Pa
cific fast mall train No. 9. carrying the
California and Oriental mall, was
wrecked last night at a siding called
Wright, 40 miles west of here. The block
signal system In use on the division saved
the train crew and mail clerks.
The westbound freight had stopped at
a water tank at Loray, when two box
cars and the caboose brolfr loose from
the end of the train and started down a
heavy grade to Wright Hiding, three and
one-half miles away. The fast mall train
was passing Wright at a high rate of
speed, when Engineer Noble saw the
block signal display the red danger sig
nal, indicating that something was on
the block, and he stopped the train in
obedience to the warning. He was none
too soon, as the wild cars were heard
coming down the grade.
It was apparent that an accident could
not be avoided and all the trainmen and
mall clerks sought safety in tho sage
brush, hence nono on the train,, was
struck. The impact was severe, but did
not derail the mall train, though the run
away cars were all smashed into silvers.

FISCHER
OWNERS
ARE THE
SALESMEN
The Fischer is the most
popular piano of the day.
The reason for its popu
larity .aud greatly increased
sale is the fact that every
person who owns a Fischer
stronglj' recommends that
piano to their friends.
The Fischer sells itself.
Fischer quality is the result
of workmanship.
If money and extra work
can make any part of a piano
better, that extra work- and
money is put into the Fischer.
The Fischer has a beautiful,
singing tone, and the more
the piano is used the better it
becomes.
Tho Fischer reputation for
stajing iu tunc is the result
solely of superior workman
ship and materials.
The pin block (the wood
work that holds the pins
to which the piano strings arc
attached) is made of eight
different layers of wood. The
grain of each piece of wood
runs in a different direction
from any other: The result is
that no atmospheric change
affects the tone or tunc of the
Fischer.
Bring a Fischer from the
dryest part of Arizona or
New Mexico to Oregon and
the piano will still remain in
perfect tone.
If you are thinking about
buying a piano ask some
friend who has a Fischer
what they think of their
piano.
If you don't happen to
know anybody who owns a
Fischer, we will furnish you
with the names of scores of
people in Portland who have
bought Fischers from us. Ask
any or all of them what they
thitik of the Fischer.
Remember our Two-Dollar-a-weck
payment plan any time
you think that 3011 t cannot
afford to liny a piano.
Remember, wc give especial
attention to out-of-town trade.

What Kind of Labor Should

NBW YORK, Jan. 11. "VIth a large and
representative attendance from the cot-ton-growlns
state?, the Southern Cbtton
G rowers' Association opened a three days'
session here today. The association was
organized in this city Just one year ago,
when cotton was selling at 6 cents. Its
ofllcers point to the reduction of acreage

'scandal in tho crop-reporting department
of the Government, ana xne improvca con
dition of the farmers, as tangible results
of the work It has done during the year.
The convention will consider a proposi
tion to hold the rest of this year's crop
until cotton goes to 15 cents; a decision as
to acreage for the year Is to be made,
and Congress will be urged to provide for
a commission to visit the cotton markets
of the world to llnd new iiclds for the sur
plus product.
President Harvle Jordan, of Georgia,
will be a 'Candidate for re-election.
Negro Labor a Failure.
An address by Charles Scott, of Rose
dale. Miss., on foreign labor In Southern
cotton fields provoked considerable discus
sion. Mr. Scott said the conclusion could
not be avoided that the negro laborers In
the South had Anally become a general
and woful failure. He gave the results of
three months' study In Europe last year in
an effort to find a solution for the labor
situation In his own state. He gave rea
sons for believing that only to Italy could
the South look for an avenue of escape
from its difficulties.
Mr, Clarkson. of Tennessee, gave some
figures to show the -wonderful develop
ment of the South since the war. He said
It had been made witk negro labor. He
believed large Importations of Italians
would prove a Bource of great danger to
tho South, and believed the opportunity
still existed to make the negro the best
laborer on the face of the globe. Several
others took Issue with Mr. Scott on the
negro question.
Right Kind of Immigrants.
At the conclusion of the discussion. A.
Tompkins, of Charlotte. N. C. was Intro
duced to speak on cotton values In textile
fabrics. He advocated the sale of cotton
goods to China. Instead of the raw cotton
to England. Regarding immigration he
said:
Extensive Importation of any class of
cheap labor which for any reason cannot be
made hocieogenous as & part of the Amer
ican race Is undesirable. Complaint Is made
that tabor Is scarce. It Is my observation
that the present situation in the South Is
more one where work U plenty and wages
fair than one in which labor Is scarce. It
is better to hare fair prices and full employ
ment than an excess of cheap labor. I favor
Immigration, but I think we should always
see to it that there should be admitted Into
this country only those immigrants who
would brlnir to our people & strain of new
blood which might be absorbed with benefit.
