The situation Is of additional Inter

FATE 10 'BE SETTLED
CENTRAL- OREGOX IRRIGATION
PROJECT CASE IS CP.
Governor West Glres Bondholders
Statement ms to Condition ot
Affair on Land.
SALEM. Or.. Jan. 6. (Special.) The
question of what will be done in the
caae of the Central Oregon Irrffratlon
Company probably will be threshed out
before the end of the present week or
early next week, according to present
Indications. Representatives of the
company were here today, but a full
board was not present and the matter
waa deferred. Prospect of a aettlement
la now considered certain.
Governor West has prepared a atate
ment at the request of Ohio bondhold
er of the project as to the condition
of affairs In Central Oregon In con-
I nectlon with this Carey Act plan, which
contains over 240,000 acres and la by
far the largest in the stale.
There are things which were not
In evidence when the projects were first
undertaken and which, in my opinion,
ahould have much weight with the
bondholders and others who would
likely aid in financing the project,"
said the Governor. The statement fol
lows: First That the grpmteet expense In con
dccUod with the reclamation of the Pilot
Butt and the Orecun Irrigation esrrsatlon
has b?n taken car of -and tha work has
reached a star of advancement which ln
urvs tha reclamation of tha lands.
bscond That Irrigation uC the Ieschate
le no longer an experiment but baa proved
a success; that settlors are acquiring that
particular knowledge in matters of irriga
tion which Is necessary to Insure success.
Third That tha building of railroads br
both tha Hill and Hariiman lines, thereby
making new markets and Insuring reason
ibie freight rates and reducing the time of
communication with the flty of Portland
from days to hours, makes living on the Des
chutes still more attractive.
Fourth That the lack of desirable home
stead land and the rise in price ot lands
of all classes are daUy making your lands
more valuable.
Fifth Ihe great development which Is
taking place In Oregon at the present and
the greater development which la bound to
take place Just aa soon as the Panama
Carnal la eompletsd and our lumber and
u titer products given a market upon the
Atlantic Coast, which they are now denied
oo account of prohibitive freight rates.
Futh That the resert land Hoard Is
anxious to see this proct completed, not
only that the settler roar receive water for
their lands and the country be developed,
but In order that the bondholders and other
creditors may receive every dollar due them
and the stockholders make a fair return
upon their investment so that the reputation
and good credit ot the state ot Oregon may
In no suuintr be questioned.
houid those Interested In this great en
terprise get together In the matter of nnanc
lng the project, they may rest assured that
they will have the hearty eo-operatlon of the
Insert Land Hoard In all matter which will
tend to the early and successful completion
of Che project.

ASHLAND. Or.. Jan. B. (Special.)
With the declaration to the mall clerK
that "I know what the penalty of this
is, but I am a desperate man and want
all there Is here." a lonesrobber rifled
the registered pouches on the mallear
on the Southern Pacific overlni tran
If, as it traveled from Red Bluff to
Reddlna- early this morntnK and car
ried off two pockets full of booty of
unknown value, but supposed to nave
been made up of currency and checks
which he found In the registers. Two
mall clerks were bound and placed in
the rear of the car while the clerk in
chance at the poi:it of a revolver
opened the registered pouches at the
order of the robber.
The clerks on the car were Charles
J. Rheln. In charge: .Robert B. War
ner, second clerk, and Peter Ilfnrlch,
helper: the latter s regular run is from
San Francisco to Dunsmuir. but he
leaves train 1 st Red Bluff and picks
up train 14. helping to work mail on
that train as far north as Dunsmuir.
KtrD(rr'i Katrane )niet.
The train was at tho station at Red
Bluff at 5:30 this morning- and Hen
rich had his coat on and was slttins
near the open mallear door about to
take bis leave of the clerk in charge
when a stranger stepped In and closed
the door behind him.
"Who Is that man. Charley?" said
Henrich to Rheln, before he discovered
the weapon held by the stranger at
his side.
The latter answered the question for
Rheln by saying: "I am going to hold
you up."
Warner, the second clerk, had Just
arisen from bed and was performing
his morning ablution at the washbowl
when the visitor entered and his at
tention was not attracted to him until
he heard the declaration from the rob
ber, who gave orders to Rhein to se
curely bind Henrich and Warner with
rope secured from some of the mail
sacks, which he did and placed them
In the rear of the car.
Rheln then was directed to unlock
all the registered pouches and to show
him any registered matter that was
not In sight. While rifling the
pouches Rheln was placed with his
face away from the robber. But at
the slightest sound or move of any of
the clerks, the robber's gun flashed
before them.
The registered letters were all torn
open and any money or valuable pa
pers taken. The inclosures being
thrown on the floor, which was lit
tered with envelopes and papers of all
kinds.
Six through registered pouches were
opened by the clerk at the point of
the robber"s weapon.
Two stations, Cottonwood and An
derson, were passed and at eacn oi
these the robber ordered Khein to
throw off the mail as usual so as to
disarm any possible suspicion else
where on the train, of his presence in
the car. Shortly before reaching Red
ding, which Is about one hour's run
from Red Bluff, the robber took
Rheln and tied him up, gagged all
three clerks and placed them in the
rear end of the car with a heap of the
sacks.
Offlclals Give Alarm.
As the train stopped at Redding he
opened the door of the car and jumped
out and the entrance of the Redding
mall offlclals gave the first knowledge
of the holdup.
The robber Is described as a man
about S feet 9 Inches high and weigh
ing about 150 pounds, about 30 years
of age. He wore a dark blue or black
.nit out In the latest pattern, with
soft white shirt and black necktie.
His hands were apparently some
what weather beaten, but soft and
evidently not-Inured to hard labor. He
wm handkerchief to hide his face
as he entered the car, but removed it
at intervals during the progress of his
work. ; .
Clerks Rheln and Warner reached
Ashland this evening, which is the end
of their run. They said that the rob
ber was apparently a well-posted fel
low and his coolness ana aeuoerauon
was bis most marked features. .
H. w. nolite to a degree as long
as his orders were promptly complied
with but once he grew iremsiea ana
threatening, when he accused the clerk
In charge of holding out some of the
registers from him.
Khein has been in the railway mail
service for SO years and this was his
first experience in a holdup.
He bad not yet recovered from the
frying ordeal which he underwent this
morning when he reached here to
night. Warner and Heinrlch have
seen many leas years In the mall serv
ice, and It was also their first experi
ence in a holdup. Their ordeal was
much less trying tnan tr.ai oi mo
chief clerk, but most of the time they
were helpless onlookers to the sensa
tional proceedings under way la the
farther end of the car.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5. (Special.)
Mayor McCarthy today set at rest all
rumors of a grand llth-hour coup
d'etat by which, it was said, the out
going administration was to hold con
trol of the various municipal commis
sions. For weeks rumor has persisted
that a plan was being formulated that
was to bo carried into effect a day or
so before Mayor-elect Rolph took of
fice. That suc h a plan is or has ever
been contemplated is emphactlcally de
nied bv the Mayor.
"Nothing that I have ever said or
done could be taken as indicating such
a programme." said McCarthy today.
"This talk of my encouraging resigna
tions is, of course, for the purpose of
confusion and carries no weight what
soever. I have not asked for a single
rejignation fom a Commissioner, nor
shall I."
"It lias beei rumored as well that
there was a plan on foot to hamper
the Rolph administration. Is that a
fact?" he was asked.
"Most emphactlcally it is not a fact
and I am glad of a chance to refute
any such insinuation. There is no de
Sire on my part to hamper in the least
or embarrass the administration of
Mr. Rolph. My wish Is that Mr. Rolph
shall have the absolute co-operation
of each and every Commissioner ap
pointed by me, to the end that Mayor
Kolph may be enabled to carry out his
purposes for the betterment of San
Francisco.
"In so far as I am concerned. Mr.
Rolph will have all the support that I
can In any way Influence."
NUNS ORDERED TO LEAVE
Cincinnati Police Bar Sisters Who
Lack Portland Credentials.
CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 5. (Special.)
Chief of Police Jackson ordered two
women who said they were nuns to
leave Cincinnati late this afternoon, af
ter they had been taken before hlra
by Detective Hill. They gave their
names as Sister Maria Theresa and
Sister Maria Gertrude and said that
they were collecting funds for a hos
pital at Portland, Or.
A priest who questioned them said
he believed they were Catholic sisters,
but they should have had credentials
from the archbishop of their diocese.
Sister Theresa is not recognized by
the Catholic Church In Orejbn. Re
cently she started a campaign to build
a home for consumptives at Oak Grove
and It Is believed that her mission to
the East is for the purpose of secur
ing funds for that project. Arch
bishop Christie said last night the
woman was acting without the sanc
tion of the Catholic Church in solicit
ing funds for the proposed hospital.

TRACT I'Oll STEVEDORING.
Collusion Between. Docfchands and
Chinese Sailors In Smuggling
Opium Is Cause.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. S. (Special.)
Following the action of the Pacific
Mall Steamship Company in having its
stevedoring done by contract Instead of
under direct supervision of the com
pany comes the announcement today
that the Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany has decided to adopt the new sys
tem. It is expected that other steam
ship companies will follow.
Collusion between Chinese members
of the crews of the various trans-Pacific
liners and stevedores is given as
one of the reasons for the new order.
Customs officials have been bearing
down hard on the Pacific Mail Company
because of arrests of smugglers and
the finding of large quantities of opium
on Pacifio Mall liners, for which heavy
lines have been assessed against the
masters of the vessels To avoid re
sponsibility and to assist the Govern
ment the Pacific Mall decided to let the
stevedoring out by contract. As a re
sult, more than 100 stevedores lost their
jobs yesterday. The contractors are
getting along with fewer men in load
ing and unloading vessels, but are util
izing more machinery.
The employers' liability act, which
recently went into effect, is also said to
have had something to do with the
change.
Customs officials expect that some of
the discharged stevedores will give in
formation concerning opium smuggling
which the Government will be able to
use to good advantage in breaking up
the opium ring. '

Concerto Op. 80 (F minor) by Miss

the Philharmonic Orchestra was to
me an extraordinary pleasure. Here
was displayed the genuine artistic soul.
A deep inner musical feeling, a most
brilliant technical knowledge, a re
markable artistic taste seldom does
one find these united in such a young
person." Berlin, May, 1911.

Theater, with the Philip Pels Concert
Orchestra, playing the Grieg A minor
Piano Concerto. Miss Steeb will use
