Kennedy, One of Chief Builders of Northwest, Leaves $60,000,000. $25,000,000 FOR CHURCH .Man Who Became Immensely Rich Without Much Xoise and Made Many Benefactions Leaves His Widow $16,000,000. NEW YORK, Nov. 5. John Stuart Kennedy, one of America's little-known rich men. who dieU of whooping couRh In his New York residence on Sunday last, left bequests of mre than $25. 000.000 to religious, charitable and edu cational institutions in his will, filed for probate here today. The Rift is the largest single contribution of its kind ever made, and the beneficiaries include educational and church institutions. North. South, East and West in this countrv and one abroad, 0 In all. Nearly half of the $25,000,000 goes to institutions connected with the Presby terian Church, cf which Mr. Kennedy had been an active member for many years. Other large beneficiaries in clude the American Bible Society, tha Metropolitan Museum of Art. the New York Public Library, the United Chari ties of New York. Columbia University and Robert College, Constantinople. .aside from these gifts. Mr: Kennedy left approximately $35,000,000 to his wife, his relatives and a great number of friends and employes. The widow's share will be about $16,000,000. All his emplcyes received gifts of from $500 to $2000 Wen. The charitable, religious and educa tional Institutions which receive- the largest bequests are to share the resi due of the estate left after definite gifts of approximately $12,000,000 have been paid out. Mrs. Kennedy, besides receiving the mlll.on-dollar rsidence, the Summer homo at Bar Harbor and the banker's valuable library and art collections, also Inherits $1,000,000 In cash and a $12,000,000 chare in the residuary estate. Made and, Gave Millions Quietly. Mr. Kennedy, whose dearli on Sunday occurred with only brief comment by the press, was one of the millionaire philan thropists whose gifts, though measured in millions, were made with as little glare of publicity as possible. He gave quietly, livf-d unostentatiously, and made his princely fortune with little blare of trum pets., Besides being a banker, he was one of the country's chief builders of rail roads, a patron of art and education and. In his own quiet way. one of New York's foremost advocates of scientifi cally organized charity. Some of His Benefactions. Although well known to the great finan. clal leaders as well as to those most active In the great benevolent works of the day. his way of doing business and of doing good was so quiet tnat the public heard little about him. Many of his great benefactions prob ably never were made public, but he figured In recent years as the giver of the jsoo.ono home of the United Charities in this city, of $1,000,000 to the Presby terian Hospital. $250,000 to the School of Philanthropy. faOrt.flflO to Columbia Uni versity, 'and $400.000 -to a nurses.' home for the Presbyterian Hospital. Helped to Develop Northwest. As banker and investor he always showed great inU-Pt in the development of the Northwest. He was Identified with J. P. Morgan and James J. Hill in the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Hallway companies for many years, and w-as a director in many railroads, life in surance companies and banking institu tions. Born near Glasgow in 1530. Mr. Kennedy came to America in 1S50 as agent for an English iron and metal concern. In 1(57 he Joined the New York banklng'nrm of Morris K. Jessup A Co., and about 11 years later established the hous of Ken nedy & Co. He retired from acf.ve par ticipation In business In 18S3. HAT FREIGHTS COME HIGH Express Companies Charge for Space ' . Instead of Weight. CHICAGO. Nov. 5. Women's hats have grown so large that the wholesale mil liner of Chicago protested against the ratep charged for carrying them by the express companies, at a hearing before the Illinois Railroad and Warehouse Commission here today. The milliners contended that the ex press mpanies did not have th? right to charge for the size of boxes containing the fashlncble hats, but only for the weight. One milliner testified that hats were - constantly increasing in aizy, but not in prk-e and he did nor understand why iron should be carried cheaper than wo men's bats. The hearing was continued until Dec ember when the express companies will submit their evidence. EAT LIZARDS AND CACTUS Two Men Found Delirious After Five Da9 Lost In Desert. P.EXO. N-v. Nov. 5.

Land uif.ee mow j comes from the irrigated region. nanc, ueiiig & hjii s " j . . -.v . . . . . .. irrigated country, is inaccessible, and the people are beginning to howl. They want the office moved down o a town on either the Government Minidoka project or one of the centrally located towns of the Twin Kalis project. The whole question Is now up to Secretary Ballinger. and a decision expected with- , In a month or six weeks. It has been demonstrated that the country around Hailey now produces i little in the Land Offiow line except min- eral entries, comparatively few in num ber. Virtually all cf the homesteads are . filed ' along Snake River. The homesteaders claim recognition,, and each of the competing towns is' now making a allowing to Mr. Ballinger. Twin Falls and Milner. on the Twin Falls tract, have put in their bids; Ru pert and Heyburn. on the Government project, have demanded recognition, and Shoshone and Gooding, to the west ward, have claimed the office. Mr. Bal linger will weigh the advantages of all these points and will then select . the town v.hlch will best serve the con venience of the majority of the settlers In that part of Southern Idaho. This is a fight in which the members of the Idaho Congressional delegation are de cidedly conspicuous by their absence. CHICKEN1 CLUB STARTS CHILDREN TAUGHT METHODS Of POULTRY-RAISING. Professor Cordley, or CorvallU, Gives Address at Association's r First Meeting. The Portland Junior Poultry Associa tion held Its first meeting In the Y. W. C. A. auditorium last night. Thirty of the children present signified their inten tion of entering the poultny contest to be conducted Jointly by the association and Oregon Agricultural College Several prizes will be awarded for the successful competitors. The children were instructed to keep a daily record of eggs laid, and to weigh the food once a week, keeping account of its cost. Professor A. B. Cordley. of Corvallls. who gave the address of the evening, brought out that sponging chickens with lime-sulphux . solution, which may be bought ready mixed, will kill the plumage mite. This solution, which is used in spraying fruit trees. Is also good for spraying chicken houses, to kill the little red mites which hang In festoons on the under side of the roosts by day and sucks the chickens- blood by night. Mrs. . Bradford Smith, of Woodstock, who has a flock of 400 chickens, said crude carbolic acid mixed with kerosene, painted on the under side of roosts, is good for the red mites. She said she Is often troubled witli them in brooders. E. J. Iadd. of the Portland S?ed Com pany, recommended ordinary sheep dip for lice. Dip the fowl in. head and all. he said. He remarked that sparrows and other birds will communicate tliesa pests to fowls. 1 ' t H Professor Cordley showed stereopticon slides of airsac mites, scaly leg mites, several kinds of lice, intestinal worms, tape worms, and worms causing throat disease, but he failed to suggest reme dies for these, or for roup, which he also mentioned. "Cleanliness in the Chicken House" was his subject. After the meeting several Juniors" told of their succera with poultry. Harold Hilton, aged 17, said that he had seven hens from which he obtained 114 eggs the first month, and 122 eggs the second month. He sold the eggs at the rate of SB and 40 cents a dozen, and. realized $S.S5. He has now Increased his flock to 10 hens. SHIPPERS ARE AROUSED Farmers' Union to Protest Against Marine League's Move. WALLA WALLA. Wash.. Nov. 6. (Special.) Co-operating with the state organization of the Farmers' Union and other associations Interested In ship ping wheat, the Walla Walla local of the union has taken up the matter of opposing the movement of the Seattle Marine League that ships coming to the Pacific laden with coal return in ballast Instead of with cargoes of wheat. The matter will first come before the union tomorrow, and President H. H. McLean gave assurance last night that there would be unanimous resistance. Said Mr. McLean: "It Is safe to say that the whole organization throughout the Northwest will go on record against the move, and "will memorialize our rep resentatives in Congress to use their in fluence against it."

Because rattle Infected with tubercu losis were sold from the experiment farm of the University by H. L. French, director, his services were dispensed with by the Board of Regents, accord ing to startling disclosures brought out by the investigation of the trouble be tween Professor French and the Board of Repents by a committee representing the roire Valley Pomona Grange. In March this year Professor French sold five steers and two cows to local butchers. After they had been butch ered it was discovered they had been suffering from tuberculosis in an ad vanced stage.

TO; GET ITS, FULL Ballinger to Adopt Irrigation Plan to Use Money Due This State. PLENTY OF GOOD SCHEMES Central Oregon. Klamath, Harney, l Umatilla, John Day All Possible, but Many Obstacles Must First . Be Overcome. (Continued from First Page.) without exception, the normal flow of the streams to be' depended upon for water supply has been appropriated. Every one of the projects that have been surveyed call for storage, or the develop ment of water by pumping. Then, there are a number of instances where- the waters- of the Central Oregon streams have been over-appropriated; there is lit igation over private water rights; big cat tle companies, pioneers in that remote country, have cornered many of the most desirable lands that could be reclaimed, and they must be dealt, with before the Government can build. If they are Jin willlng to sign up their lands and agree to subdivide and sell" them In accordance with the requirements of the reclamation act, the Government must stay out or resort to litigation, which means delay. These tangles over private water rights, by the way, arose in the old days before Oregon had an adequate and practical 6et of water laws. Still another obstacle confronts the Government in Central Oregon. Numer ous segregations have been made on be half of the state, on the assumption that they would be Irrigated by private capi tal under the Carey Act. Some of these segregated lands have stood idle for a term of years, because the companies proposing to irrigate them have been un able to finance their schemes. Such segregations, wjiile they exist, block the Government and' make it impracticable for the Reclamation' Service to build, for It is impractical for the .Government to irrigate the 'outlying lands of a valley, whose most desirable lands ace being re claimed by a Carey Act company. As a rule, the Carey Act projects are smaller than those contemplated by the Gov ernment; yet their existence is a par to government enterprise.- Where such segregations are made in good faith, and private capital is actually building irri gation systems that will irrigate, there Is no desire on the part of the Government to interfere, but it may prove necessary later, on for the Government - to oust some 'of. the companies that have failed to live up to their contracts and that have shown no serious disposition to build in good faith. Central Oregon Projects. According to various reports of the Reclamation Sen-ice, a number of. possi ble projects in Central Oregon have been examined in the past few years. Along the Deschutes River or its tribu taries are several projects, any tine of which might be taken up If existing ob stacles could be overcome. There are two projects near Prinevllle: several I Jn the the extreme south-central part of state, and a -most pretentious project on the Columbia River. The latter, however, is hardly to be considered because of its enormous cost. Although details of these projects have never been worked out. preliminary sur veys have betn made from time to time to determine their feasibility, the con dition of the country to be benefited and the probable source of water sup ply. It Is possible to tell approximately the quantity ' of land that can be re claimed under each, but accurate esti mates of cost have not been worked out; that detail must receive attention when ever the department turns positively to any given locality. 100,000 Acres on Crooked River. There is Ifi0,000-acre project on Crool:ed River on the east side of tho Deschutes. Private projects in this vi cinity have cost about $60 per acre, and a Government project would probably cost something like that amount. Nearly all the lands under this project have been patented, however, only about one per cent of the total acreage still be ing In the hands of the Government. This feature Is likely to count against the Crooked River project, at least for the time being. Should this project be undertaken by the Government water would be stored in I the two forks of the river by a dam built just below the junction of South Fork and North Fork. Such a dam would impound 360.000 anro-feet of water, enough to reclaim the uvreage stated. The water would be dlvwrted into distributing canals at a point about threA miles above Prine ville. Considerable pressure is being brought to bear on the department to secure the construction of the Oalioco project, which is capable of irrigating about 18.000 acres near Prineville. This project would take water from a storage reservoir which can be built to impound the flood waters of Ochoco Creek some six miles above Prineville. Such a reservoir as has been in contemplation would hold 34,000 acre tet of water. The trouble with this, as with some other Centnal Oregon projects. Is that practically all the land is now in private ownership, and about 40 per cent of the enth-e area is held by She Wil lamette .Valley & Cascade Mountain Road Company. Before the project could be built It would ,ba necessary for the road company to agree to sell its land in small tracts, in order to comply with the terms of the reclamation act. This project, which is comparatively cheap as to cost, possesses one distinct advantage; it is located very nsar to Prineville, which would furnish market for many of the products of the irrigated farms. Big Dam on Chewaucan. The Cliewaucan project In Lake County has been studied roughly by the en gineers of th Reclamation. Service. It is attractive in many ways, and would .reclaim about 60.000 acres of land. At "least 60 per cent of the land undar this project Is still in the hands of the Gov ernment. Fifteen thousand acres, how ever, are held in one body by the Che waucan Land r Cattle Company, which also owns practically ,all of Chewaucan Marsh, which would be drained and em braced in the project. ' By building a .torags dam just blow the Junction of Coffeepot Creek "with the" main river, 24,- 000 horsepower ' coukl "be "developed for use in pumping water onto lands on ad- ! joining but smaller projects. The Sum- j mer flow of Ohewaucsfl River is all ap- prnpriared. and the Spring flood water is I utilized for flooding lownnas. wuere wiia hv is trown by the cattla. company. f If the Chewaucan project should be built, the Ana River project would follow in the course of time. There are 20.000 acres in this project, lying at the head of Summer Lake, which could be re claimed by pumping water with power developed at the Chewaucan dam. The on SHARE Ana River has cut a gorge 50 to 60 feet deep through the soft loamy soil, and the nature of the country is such as to ren der Impractical the holding of this water behind a storage dam. If storage were possible, the water supply is ample to irrigate 70.000 to 80.000 acres. The Gov ernment engineers, however, have thus far figured merely on the pumping proj ect, which would reclaim 20,XX acres, more than 60 per cena of which is still Govern mentIand. The Ana River Land. Water & Power Company proposes to irrigate 6000 acres in this vicinity, lying In the heart of the Government project. If this private enterprise is carried through, it may Interfere with the Government's en tering that field, though subsequent in vestigation may show that there is room tor both. In addition to pumping water for a 20.-OOO-acre project on Aua. River, the power developed at the Chewaucan dari would also be adequate to raise water for 25.000 acres for the Fort Rock or Christmas Lake project, lying just north -of Silver Lake. This tract would have to be irri gated by pumping ground waters, which lie from 10 to 20 feet below the surface. The scheme suggested by the engineer who made the original examination of this country is that the farmers shall supply their own pumping plants, the Government to furnish the electric cur rent from Chewaucan. On this basis the cost per acre, aside fron the initial cost of pumping machinery, would be relative ly low. Sixty per cent of this project is Government land. There is a 30,000-acre project near Silver Lake, known as the Pauline. This project would utilize 'the flood waters of Sliver Creek. Bridge Creek and Bear Creek; their normal flow is already appropriated. There are many conflicting private water rights on the three streams named, all of which would have to be adjusted, before the Government could undertake this proj ect. It. however, is a project that can be built by private capital, and may never be seriously considered by the department. Three Harney Valley Schemes. In Harney Valley are three distinct projects, which can be built separately, or all at once, according to the amount of money necessary and available The first of these, the Silver Creek, would reclaim 31.900 acres, lying about 30 miles west from Burns. Storage can be had on Silver Creek, only six miles above the land to be irrjgated. Twenty per- cent of the land of this project is owned by the Government, and near ly 50 per cent by the Wagon Road Company. A serious obstacle arises in front of this project; a single 10,000 acre ranch- In the midst of the irrigable area lays claim to all the available water of Silver Creek. This company would have te be bought out or Its rights to the water legally de termined before the Government could enter that field. There is an excellent reservoir site on Silvies Creek. and another on Emi grant Creek, with a combined capacity of 240,000-acre - feet, enough water to irrigate 76.000 acres lying southeast of Burns. Two Carey act projects, how ever, have ' entered this district, the Harney Valley Improvement Company and the Portland Irrigation Company. Here again the question of land own ershp presents an obstacle. There are only 3000 acres of unappropriated Gov ernment land: 30.000 acres have been patented, and of t,he remainder not em braced in the Carey act segregations 23.700 acres' are held by the Pacific Live stock Company. Moreover. eisting water rights along Silvies -Creek have been in litigation for years, with pros pect of continuing so indefinitely. The large cattle companies which are in practical control of the, entire valley claim all the water. The Blitzen unit of the. Harney proj ect would reclaim about 75.000 acres in Blitzen Valley, on the south side of Malheur Lake. Two reservoirs would be required," one on Blitzen River and the other on McCoy Creek. . .. . Big Scheme on John Day. The onlv remaining Eastern Oregon project that has thus far been examined by the reclamation engineers is the John Day. If funds were plenty and that pro ject could be built to best advantage. It would be by far the biggest thing in the irrigation line that Oregon has ever seen, or is likely to see. In its broadest dimen sions, the John Day project ccnild be made to Irrigate. 200,000 acres of land lying on the eouth shore of the Colum bia River immediately wett of Umatilla. The big project would take the waters from several storage reservoirs', on John Day River, and divert them ' by an ex pensive canal and tunnel thrpugh the mountainous cliff on the east bank of the John Day. out onto the broad, flat country to be reclaimed. Such a "tunnel through the mountains from the John Day would be bigger and longer and mor costlv than the big Gunnison tunnel ' In ntlnran Mrentlv ononfrt hv Plei- 1 Hon, Taft Owlnv tn t h dpnlpted state of the reclamation fund, such a project Is not now feasible. .There is an alternate plan, however, by which a part of this land near Uma tilla may be reclaimed. ' The Govern ment could dam the Deschutes River and with the impounded water develop suf ficient electric energy to pump enough water from the Columbia to irrigate at least 30.COO acres. If anything is to be done in the near future in the Umatilla country, it must be along the line ofthis pumping project. - STiGKERS MAY DECIDE PRIMARY LAW DECISION" IS BOON" TO REPUBLICAN'S.

DENVER, Nor. 5. Mrs. Anna Wheeler, 'mining woman and promoter," said to have swindled hundreds in fake Nevada mining schemes, was convicted of fraud on three counts in the -West Side Court today. According to her alleged victims, she convinced them that she possessed clalrvovant powers and that, while under rguidance of spirits, she had seen clouds of gold floating about their neaas ana drifting about their feet. She ,convinced them that all that was needed to precipi tate the gold and obtain success was an Investment in Nevada mining property owned by her. Long Stream of Suckers. Mrs. Wheeler's operations began during the height of the Goldfield. excitement She found no lack of dupes, her victims being women of the poorer class, laun dresses, and scrubwomen, who invested the savings of years on the promise of enormous dividends. The clouds surrounding the victims proved to have not even a silver lining, and the wearers of the golden aureoles sought redress in the courts, claiming that Mrs. Wheeler had appropriated the money to her own use. Mrs. Wheeler denies that she claimed clairvoyant powers, and maintains that the money was invested by her but that the investment turned out badly. She claims that she lived in Lead. B.
