TRIP IS COMPREHENSIVE
In. Warner Valley 100,000 Acres
Are to Be Reclaimed Questions
of Water Suply to Receive
Careful Attention.
SALEM. Or., June 30. (Special.)
State Knglneer Lewis will leave to
morrow to make a complete examina
tion of various projects wh'ch are be
ing developed under the Carey act. He
will be accompanied as- far as Bend
by Attorney-General A. M. Crawford.
At Bend further steps will be taken
toward reviving the old Columbia
Southern project. From there the State
Engineer will go south to examine
the work of the Deschutes Land Com
pany project, which Includes 30,000
acres. He will then leave to make an
examination of the Paisley project of
12.000 acres.
Probably the most important work
which he will do on the trip will be
In Warner Valley, in Lake County, on
the California line. A project, includ
ing 100.000 acres, will be developed
there. It is now only In its. tentative
stage, but the State Engineer is' of the
opinion there Is sufficient water there
to handle the entire project and that
the scheme is feas'ble. The land is
75 miles east of Lakeview, is practic
ally all level sagebrush land and is
capable of producing practically any
kind of a crop. The Hill interests- have
given a definite promise to construct
a line into this project within the next
two years.
The State Engineer will go east to
the Idaho line- for the purpose of ex
amining the Jordan Valley project of
60,000 acres, then to Vale to look into
the Harper Basin project of 10.000
acres, and then to Baker City, where
he will devote some time to three
projects in that -. cinity. Eagle Valley,
30,000 acres; Pine Valley, 10,000 acres,
and Lower Powder River Valley, 60,
000 acres.
Plans, specifications and estimates
for this last project have been filed
with the office of the Engineer and
show an estimated cost of $30,000 for
development work. The State Engi
neer will look into the question of
water supply on this project prior to
awarding the final contract.
POWDER MILL BLOWN UP
Third Kxploslon In Dupont Plant
Kills Three Men.
TACOMA, Wash., June 30. The third
lerious explosion at the Dupont Powder
plant at Dupont, and the most disas
trous of the three, occurred this morn
ing when three men were killed and
the main building of the plant was bad
ly damaged.
The dead:
Thomas Blake, aged 32, foreman, of
Waukesha, Wis.
George Strouse, St. Paul.
Edward Smith, New Orleans.
At 7:14 o'clock this morning, shortly
fter the mills had started for the day,
the explosion occurred, blowing the
gelatin-mixing house No. 1 to pieces
and starting a reverberation that car
ried the news of the accident to Ta
:oma, a distance of 10 miles. Windows
were broken in houses in the suburbs
between the city and the little factory
town.
Immediately after the accident, Su
perintendent Harrington closed the
outer gates of the plnt and barred all
vomers. It was learned, however, that
the explosion had resulted in great
damage to the main mill, which In the
two preceding accidents of the past few
months had been undamaged. The ma
chinery was wrecked, it is reported.
The mixing house is a small frame
building, a temporary structure erect
ed following the accident In which two
men were killed in March. It is sup
posed that the same conditions brougnt
about the explosion as resulted in the
March explosion, the victims being the
only occupants of the wrecked struc
ture and none living long enough to
tell of it. In fact, two of the men were
blown to atoms, a remarkable feature
of the accident being that Blake, while
terribly mutilated and stripped of all
clothing, could be identified. Blake's
mother lives in Waukesha, Wis.
MARSHAL FIGHTS ROBBERS
Three Men Shoot When Interrupted
at Work In Hood River.
HOOD RIVER, Or.. June 30. A
pitched battle in which about 15 shots
n-ere fired occurred here early Wednes
day morning between Night Marshal
Henry Hickox and a trio of unknown
men,' who were Interrupted trying to
enter the hardware store of D. Mc
Donald and who escaped In a boat on
the Columbia River after exchanging
shots with the officer. Hickox was
making his regular rounds- when he
saw two men run from the door of the
McDonald store about 2:30 in the morn
ing. He called to the men to halt and
when they failed to comply he gave
chase, following them to the river be
low the depot, about three blocks away.
There he saw a third man waiting with
a small boat and as he gained on the
fleeing men they turned and opened
fire. He returned their shots and be
lieves that he may have hit one of the
men as he seemed to be helped fnto the
boat by the other two.
The three men got away on the river
and the local officers believe them to be
the same crowd that cracked a safe at
Hosier and escaped on the river last week
after exchanging shots with citizens of
the village.

JAMES A. PATTEN.
CHICAGO, June 30. (Special.) James A. Patten, the most widely
known grain trader in Chicago or the world since the days of B. P.
Hutchinson, retires from business today. The only statement he would
make for publication was this:
"I have had a long siege In the grain business; have had more than
my share of the load to carry, yet I am glad I have been through
with It all, and am ready to quit."
The big speculative dealer, who has made his mark in wheat, corn,
oats and cotton in the last 20 years and is still mixed up in the most
Important cotton deal in New iork, from which he promises to
emerge successfully, passed the morning of his last day of business sit
ting in front of the big quotation board watching the course of the
market.
Those who know "Jim" Patten best say he goes out of business
worth $10,000,000 to $15,000,000. Mr. Patten, himself, modestly states
that he thinks those figures' are too high.

TAFT GREETS ROOSEVELT
(Continued From First Page.)
Mrs. Roosevelt about this," said tHe
Colonel.
"Jimmy" Sloan, of the Secret Serv
ice, who climbed precipices, swam icy
creeks and ran foot races with Mr.
Roosevelt for seven years, also came
in for a hearty greeting. "Jimmy"
helped the Colonel through the crowds
at the Taft gate Just as he used to
do in the old days, and was the last
person to get a final handshake and
word of parting.
Beverly Keeps Watch.
Beverly was on the outlook for the
distinguished visitor all day, but no
official information as to the call was
to be had at the executive office until
the last minute.
For a long time there was doubt as
to whether Mr. Roosevelt would come
by road or by water, and the Presi
dent's yacht Sylph was ready to be
placed at his disposal. Toward 1
o'clock word came that the Colonel,
owing to a press of time, had finally
decided In favor of the auto and would
start from Senator Lodge's home at
2:45 P. M.
His way to Beverly led through parts)
of Lynn, Swampscott and Salem and In
each of these places the Colonel was
quickly recognized and cheered. He and
Senator Lodge rode in a closed car, but
the crowds could see him through the
window and he was compelled constantly
to lift his hat in recognition of greet
ings. At the entrance of the Taft grounds a
crowd of 100 or more persons had gath
ered. The secret service lines, usually
drawn about the Taft cottage alone,
were extended today to the entrance to
the entire Burgess Point section, fully a
quarter of a mile away. There every
one was stopped, and turned back. Sev
eral women calling to pay their respects
to Mrs. Taft were turned back with the
rest.
President Taft was .sitting in the li
brary, going over the mall with Assist
ant Secretary Forster, when he heard
the "honk, honk" of the Lodge automo.
bile out in . front. He dropped every
thing and hurried to the porch. Colonel
Roosevelt was out of the machine in a
moment and e.8 the two men met their
arms unconsciously went toward each
other and their hands rested upon each
other's shoulders.
It was some time before ,the embrace
was Interrupted. Then President Taft
warmly greeted Senator Lodge. Secre
tary Norton joined the party and Assist
ant Secretary Forster also was Included
in the circle. Soon the President and
ex-President drew apart, while the others
looked on their tete-a-tete with smiling
Interest.
What of politics entered Into the con
versation, what words of reminiscence,
what exchange of experiences during the
last 16 months, no one on-the veranda
other than the two friends themselves
knows. ...
There were so many peals of laughter,
so many slaps upon the back, so much of
cordiality, that it was apparent there
had been no suggestion of a conflict of
views. .
Colrl Rooeevelt, when asked if he
would visit- Beverly again, replied, "I
don't know that I shall."

CITY AMONG DEFENDANTS
Insurgent Passengers Refuse to Pay
More Than Nickel When Conduc
tors Ask for Ten Cents, and
Company Is Powerless.
TACOMA,. Wash.. June 30. (Special.)
The Tacoma Railway & Power Com
pany today applied to the Federal
Court for an Injunction against the
Fernhill Insurgents who are refusing
to pay 10 cents fare from their suburb
Into the city, and by force of numbers
compelling the company to accept 5
cents. Judge Hanford will hear the
application next Tuesday and then de
termine whether to grant it.
In case the injunction is allowed, it
is estimated that the Marshal's fees
In the case will alone amount to $5000
to $7000, owing to the great number
of persons who would have to be
served.
The petition names as defendants the
City of Tacoma, Attorney J. F. Fitch,
Attorney Lorenzo Dow, Joe T. Mitch
ell, Peter Jensen, "and all persons aid
ing or abetting them" in preventing
the company from collecting the "cus
tomary" fare.
The city is made a defendant upon
the alleged failure of Mayor A. V.
Fawcett and the police to protect the
rights of the company. General Man
ager Bean asserts that while the po
lice are riding on all the cars in the
Fernhill district they are ."absolutely
no help to the conductors, but rather
positively unfriendly." -
The Fernhillites say they will be in
court Tuesday prepared to fight the
company to a finish. Meanwhile the
company is collecting 10 cents fare
wherever it can, refusing transfers
from the line, and is accepting 5 cents
fare where the Fernhillites are in such
numbers as to render it unwise to at
tempt ejectment from the cars.
NEW SALMON RUN COMING
Steelheads, Month Late, Add to
Profits of Fishermen. .
ASTORIA, Or., June 30. (Special.)
Fairly good catches have been made the
past two or three days by the various
classes of gear in the different sections
of the river, and this is especially true
of the traps in Bakers Bay and the
bar fishermen, one of the latter bring
ing in 1100 pounds this morning.
The fish, while averaging quite
large, are smaller than those caught
the past two weeks, and this is con
sidered a good Indication, as it may be
a new run coming in.
The seine which Is being operated
on the sands opposite the city is doing
much better than was expected, and
today 1600 pounds of salmon were taken
in two hauls. Steelheads are now be
ginning to run, although fujly a month
late, and are in demand, with the price
varying from 5 to 7 cents a pound.
It may go higher.
Bluebacks are also showing up and
are rated the same as the smaller
chinooks, 6 cents a pound.
OFFICERS HELD TO BLAME
Klamath Falls Resents Extradition
of Promoter to California.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., June 30.
(Special.) Although the people of this
city have been awaiting" the filing of
action against District Attorney Kuy
kendall and Sheriff Barnes over the
turning over of George L. Price, the
telephone promotor, to California of
ficers, nothing has been done.
Attorney O'Neill announced at the
time Price was given into the custody
of Detective Lord that he would begin
action against the local officers for
kidnaping, because Price was taken
out of jail after being held by the
local Justice of the Peace to the grand
Jury and before that body had acted
upon his case. Mr O'Neill said today
that the subject would not be allowed
NO SIGN OF A PIMPLE
Poalam Eradicates Blemishes nod All
Skin Troubles.
"I have been troubled with pimples
and blackheads for four years," writes
a Washington gentleman In the Govern
ment service, "and have used salves and
blood tonics. None'of them has been of
benefit to me, but poslam has done the
work and my face is clear, with no sign
of a pimple."
The work of eradicating pftnples,
facial blemishes, clearing the complex
ion, red noses, etc., is among the easier
accomplishments of poslam in which
overnight results are seen. Being a
strictly medicinal preparation, its prop
erties far exceed those of the balms
and lotions usually employed. In all
of the many forms of skin troubles In
both infants and adults, poslam pro
duces beneficial results from first ap
plication. Eczema, acne, herpes, tetter,
piles, barber's itch, salt rheum, scaly
scalp, etc., yield readily to its remark
able curative properties. No matter
what part of the body may be affected,
it may be easily treated with poslam.
Poslam can be had for 50 cents at
any reliable-druggist's, particularly the
Owl drug- Co., or the Emergency
Laboratories, S2 West 2th street, New
York City, will send a sample free by
mail to anyone who will write for It.

Suit has been filed in Justice Court by
Fred De Rock, a diver, against Mrs.
H. M. Geren and Sam Holienbeck for

taken when raised from the slough.
De Rock was called In by Sheriff
Stevens to search the slough for the

couver trestle several weeks ago. Later
It was found that the county would not
bear the expense the Investigation
and De Rock looked for his pay to the
owner of the car. Mrs. Geren, while
expressing willingness to pay De Rock
if it is held that she Is the owner of the
car, asserts that Holienbeck, the garage

owner of the machine.
She has tiled suit against him In Cir
cuit Court for $2000 on that contention.
De Rock makes both parties defendant
