.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

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.

OREGOX1AN NEWS Bl.-P.EAU. Wash- ;
Ington. Nov. 6. The new towns of
Southern Idaho are in the midst of a I
spirited fight over the location of their
Land Office, now at Hatley. With the
develepment of the Snake River coun
try by Irrigation, a vast settlement has

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.

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.

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

(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. -

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

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. D., from
ISSfl to 1905, and that she located the Wall
Street mine in the Black Hills in 1886.

After several trips to Nevada In 1907 she
claims that she returned to Denver to

Goldfield.
One of the first investors on whom -the
golden clouds scheme was operated was
Mrs. August McCotter, a washerwoman
who laundered the lingerie of Mrs.
Wheelpr's daughter, who was then at
tending a fashionable and expensive pri
vate school in Denver. Mrs. McCotter
was induced to invest her entire savings.
