B., Principal Tenth and Morrison - Portland. Ores on 1 OREGON PROJECTS - (l rr Secretary of Interior Says Certain Private Interests in Klamath County Are Obstructing the Department's Work There. To Investigate personally the transfor mation of arid lands of the Northwest Into producing tracts, James R. Garfield, Secretary of the Interior, is touring Ore gon; he spent yesterday In Portland. With Mr. Garfield on the tour are F. H. Newell. Director of the Reclamation Service; Arthur P. Davis. Chief Engineer of the Reclamation Service, and two clerks. The party left last night for Umatilla, where the Secretary will in vestigate the work being done on the ' Umatilla project, tributary to Hermiston. Immediate beneficial results from the gigantic undertakings of the Government in this state must come from the rail roads, according to Mr. Garfield. Vast Bums may be expected by the Federal . Government and arid lands may be made gardens of great richness, but the bring ing of the people to inhabit these fruit ful areas is up to the railroads. ' The Umatilla project, according to Mr. Garfield, is progressing satisfactorily. In that work the Cold Springs dam, about eight miles from Hermiston, has been completed. It is 100 feet high and stores 60.000 acre feet of water. It is filled by means of a large feed canal from the Umatilla River. The entire project will bring under Irrigation 20,000 acres of land. Already 7000 acres are under ir rigation and ready for cultivation. Will Look Up New Projects. The Harney County project, according to the Secretary, has been practically abandoned for the time being. However, the Department is looking favorably to ward the development of several other projects in this state, and to investigate them personally and more completely is one of the objects of Mr. Garfield's visit. The Secretary carefully refrained from expressing himself with reference to any action that may be taken by the Govern ment against the Oregon & California ,'Rallroad. That matter, he said, is alto gether In the hands of the Department of Justice. Nor would he discuss the prob able ultimate fate of the so-called "Inno cent purchaser," who has already bought and paid for lands from this railroad company. Mr. Garfield reached San Francisco Tuesday after a visit to the Hawaiian Islands.- He was on the Islands for two weeks an4 la considerably tanned as a result of the tropical climate. Howevor. he expressed himself as greatly pleased with the results of his trip. He arrived In Portland yesterday forenoon, and dur ing the brief time, he spent in this city, was extremely busy. He received nu n erous callers, attended meetings, made several visits, accompanied a delegation of prominent citizens to luncheon at the Commercial Club, and besides many other things kept his two clerks at the Portland Hotel busy all day. Those at the Luncheon. The luncheon at the Commercial Club was an informal affair and was tendered the Secretary of the Interior by the Club. Senator C. W. Fulton, who came from Astoria to see Mr. Garfield, was a guest. Others who attended were: F. H. Newell, H. R. Judah, assistant general passenger agent of the Southern Pacific, San Fran cisco; Governor George E. Chamberlain, Wilbur K. Newell, president of the State Board of Horticulture; Hugh McGuire, A. L. Mills. Walter F. Burrell, J. C. Alnsworth. Sig Slchel, E. B. Piper. C. S. Jackson, William McMurray, Tom Richardson, W. M. Ladd and -Dr. Henry Waldo Coe. Many of the delegation met the Secre tary at the hotel and escorted him to the Commercial Club. Immediately after tha luncheon Mr. Garfield attended a meet ing of the state commission in the office of J. N. Teal, where plans for the conser vation of the natural resources of this state were discussed. "The department is not only satisfied, but very much phased with the progress of the work on the Klamath project." said Mr. Garfield. ' However, progress has been retarded by certain private land Interests which are said to be speculating In the lands there A great many com plaints have come to us in Washington about private owners holding up the work, and we have been surprised that the work has met with any opposition at all, for we had naturally expected it to be met with the heartiest approval of and co-operation from the citizens of all sections of Oregon. The purposes of the new regulations in the Land Offlee. according to Mr. Gar field, are to Install new methods of ac counting. The changes are chiefly cleri cal. It is said, and were made to facilitate the work of the land offices. Mr. Garfield did not include Klamath Falls in his itinerary on this trip. He visited that place last year and declared he did not have time on this trip to visit the various other government projects, if Klamath was Included. In addition to the meetings Mr. Garfield attended, he also held conferences with John McCourt. United States DistricfAt torney; Thomas B. Neuhausen, Special Inspector of the Interior Department; L. K. Giavis, chief of the field division for this district and Alaska; Senator C. W. Fulton and others. LEGAL TRIO TROUBLE Disbarment Proceedings Brought Against W atts, King and Finch. J. F. Watts, H.

LAY 8000 YARDS OF ROCK Report Shows That Mile and Three quarters of Road Was Macadam ized by Kelly Butte Gang During May and June. By working the city and .county pris oners at Kelly Butte, Multnomah County saved in the construction of its roads, during June, $5257.12, and during May. $3954.4& The prisoners turned out 4320 yards of rock during the month of June, which would have cost, had it been pur chased from local contractors, $1.50 a yard, or 56480. This is the price at the bunkers. The 4.120 yards cost the county, including the feeding of the prisoners, 43 1-5 cents a yard, or U866. 92. Meals were served to the prisoners during June to the number of 5477, at a total cost of $539.42, or 9 4-5 cents a meal. Had the rock for the repair and build ing of the county roads been purchased, It would still have been necessary to feed the prisoners, so this amount should be deducted from the $1866.92, which leaves a net cost of 28 2-5 oehts a yard. This means that the county saved $1,216 a yard on its rock during June, or $5257.12. The prisoners turned out 3682 yards of rock in May, at a cost of $1981.92, or 64 cents a yard. The prisoners received 5877 meals during the month at a cost of $548.36,or 9 1-3 cents a -meal. Deducting the cost of feeding the prisoners . from the whole cost of getting out the crushed rock, there remains a net cost of 42 3-5 cents a yard. The county therefore saved $1,074 a yard on its rock during May, or $3954.46. The feeding of the city prisoners cost, in May, $137.50 and in June, $167.50. During the last two months the county built a mile and three-fourths of heavy macadamized road, putting in a thousand yards more rock than was ever laid be fore in an equal time.

NANCY LEE HAS INFORMAL CHAT WITH MINNIE MADDERN FISKE Great Actress May Not Return to Portland, Because There Is No Suitable . Anti-Trust Theater Her Visit Here Unfortunately Brief. BY KANCT LEE. THAT wonderful woman, Minnie Maddern Flske, with her electric personality, drew magnetically two representative . audiences on Tuesday, in -spite of the fact that Old Sol, with Rooseveltian strenuosity, threatened to burst a blood vessel. Those who desired an intellectual stimulus were more than gratified. Those who revel in watching Anna Held make her eyes misbehave, or who expected Mrs. Flske to appear in a directoire gown, were correspondingly disappointed. For the same reason that rag-time players find Mozart a bore, it is obvious that the average theater-goer, to whom Ibsen remains a sealed book, found lit tle enjoyment in it.. To such, the Ibsen followers are an incomprehensible cult. However, many of the latter stretched Mrs. Fluke, an Charcoal ' Caught Her. a point to attend. Why? ' Because Mrs. Ffske is considered de rigour.-. Therefore, It is signal to appear In their most stun ning frocks and jewels to don addition ally, at least. $5 worth of artificial curls and to approach majestically from one of the trusts's shellacked vehicles. . "Rosmersholm" is undeniably grue some. Political considerations have re sulted in deepest depressions and Re becca West, an intellectual and design ingwoman, prompted by her love for the revolutionary doctrines which she desires to advance, ultimately inocu lates her guardian with her advanced theories. . ' The results are tragic She slowly poisons the wife's mind, "Which- results in the -latter's self-destruction. - Up to this time Rebecca West has not been actuated by love for her guardian, but with scheming foresight. - villainously W. M. Ladd, Tom Richardson, J. R. ' NEW ROUTE IIP MOUNTAIN MAZAMAS TO SCALE ST. HELENS . FROM NORTH. More Snow Than Usual Is Reported, Which "Will Expedite Ascent of Peak. The outing committee of the Mazamas in charge of the annual outing of that organization, announces that the plans for the coming trip 40 Mount St. Helens are rapidly nearlng completion. This ex cursion promises to be one .of the most enjoyable outings undertaken by the as sociation in several years. Due to the fact that the transportation facilities this year are more favorable than heretofore many people who would not otherwise accompany the party have signified their Intention of making the trip. For those who do not care to walk, wagons will be provided at a nominal cost by the di rectors. E. P. Sheldon, of the outing committee, has been advised by C. B. Forsythe, of Castle Bock, who recently visited the camp at Spirit Lake, that the fishing at the present time is excellent. He also reports that there are numerous deer in the vicinity. Mr. Forsythe saya that there Is more snow on the mountain now than is usually the case at this time of of -year. This fact will be received by mountain climbers -with gratification, as the amount of snow on " the mountain it is declared will expedite the climb to be undertaken this season. Parties making the ascent in seasons past have invariably taken the route up the south side. The route chosen by the outing committee will be along the north seeks to remove the one obstacle in the life of John Rosmer; in other words, she desires the "survival of the fittest." Rosmer and Rebecca having . been thwarted by bigotry and suspicion their plans are necessarily frustrated, and Ibsen gives the only logical conclusion, having the siren voice of the millpond lure the miserable, disillusioned lovers to destruction. ' Mrs. Fiske is undeniably the greatest English speaking actress today; the apostle of repression. Nothing finer has been done in the Intellectual school of re strained acting than Rebecca West's con fessional in the third act. With glazed eyes,' the tragic quiver of the eye-Ud, a twitching of her ' expressive mouth, and the flexible voice full of heart throbs, she lifts us by the quietest possible .method to the most superb climax. During the' period of intensity of repression, anyone with blood in his veins must admit that for the nonce his nerves executed a chromatic scale up and down the vertebrae. Mrs. Fiske is an exceptional actress, in that she does not court an interview. It was therefore an agreeable surprise that she met me between the acts with the utmost cordiality in spite of the in tense heat and the fact that she had undergone both performances void of her handsome stage scenery, owing to the inadequate accommodations of- the thea ter. This Mrs. Flske regretted exceed ingly, as she declared that on account of the cramped quarters of the anti trust houses in this city doubtless Port land in the future would be omitted from lier itinerary. "I feel that it Is an injustice to the public to appear without the requisite ecenic accessories," she declared, "and it is a great disappointment to me, as I have always cherished pleasantest rec ollections of your beautiful city." In a two by four dressing room 'under the stage where the overworking mer cury was accentuated by the Incandes cent lights surrounding her dressing table and casting fiery glints through her temperamental hair, Mrs. Fiske chatted with her subtle charm on a variety of themes. She is one of the few actresses who are conversant with subjects out side their ken. She inquired with Interest as to whether the North Bank Road was completed, and the condition of the bridges on which it will cross the Co lumbia and Willamette Rivers into Port land. She expressed deep sympathy over the recent death of Mrs. J. N. Dolph. widow of Senator Dolph, whose friend ship she had -enjoyed in the East and abroad. Mrs. Fiske's visit here was unfortunate ly brief. She arrived in the morning and after two fatiguing engagements was whirled away on the late northbound train. On account of the short interval between the two performances her din ner was served - to her on the stage of the Lyric. . Mrs. Fiske after her northern . appear ance will rusticate at Banff Springs for the remainder of the Summer. ""iiJ 1 l1?--.! jVS Garfield, - E. B. Piper, J. C.

NINETY DAYS' LONELINESS Texan With Big Gnn Sentenced to Stay Away From Girl. G. T. Webb, a clerk aged 21, went wooing with a gun at an early hour yesterday morning. Webb was in love with a girl who sells tickets at the Oaks, but a waiter there seemed to have supplanted him. Strapping a re volver of 45 caliber to a heavy cart ridge belt, he went to the Oaks, where he exhibited the gun and told what dire things would shortly happen to his rival. He was disarmed by Special Officer McDonald and taken to the po lice station on a charge of exhibiting a deadly weapon. Judge Van Zante took It that Webb would be restored to a normal state in 90 days and suggested that the youth keep away from the girl that length of time. He fined Webb 29, also relieved him of the revolver. Webb boasted of being a Texan and said he would get another gun at once. SUMMER RESORTS.
