SHOT HIS BOY COMPANipN Youth Confesses to Accident That Injured Crutch and Limb. CHEHALIS. Wash.. Sept 2. (Special.) Last Sunday afternoon, Clifford Picket, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT SMARTLY DRESSED MEN WILL WEAR ' THIS SEASON, ASK BEN SELLING . , Clackamas Farmer Is, Per haps, Fatally Injured.. ACCIDENT AT OREGON CITY Humphrey Jones, Farmer, Picked T3p Unconscious His Daughter and a Girl Friend Have Broken Bones. - - A. . . ,, , , . . - . . OREGON CITY, Or.,. Sept. 2. (Spe olal.) Humphrey Jones, a prominent farmer of Carus, this county, -was per haps fatally Injured this morning In attempting to drive across the South ern Pacific Railroad track in this city in front of an approaching overland train. The other occupants of the wagon were Miss Kate Jones, a daugh ter of the farmer and Miss Edna Irish, a neighbor. Jones was picked up in nn unconscious state and taken to Portland, where his condition Is re ported alarming. Mr. Jones and companions "were on the way to this city and were descend ing Singer Hill, at the base of which the roadway crosses the railroad track. The second section of the northbound California overland was Just pulling out of the depot yards as the team noarod the foot of the hill. Mr. Jones, whose sight and hearing are impaired because of his advanced age, he being past 60, neither saw nor heard the ap proaching train, and before the daugh ter, who observed the danger, could di vert the team from its course, the wagon was on the track, when the col lision followed. By tightly applying the airbrakes, the momentum of the train was checked sufnclentlv by the enelneer to prevent what would have certainly re-. suited in the Instantaneous death of the three occupants of the vehicle. As It was, they were thrown violently from the rig which was entirely demol ished, one of the horses being so badly injured that it had to be shot. Miss Jones sustained the fracture of a leg and Miss Irish escaped with a broken cheek bone. The scene of the accident Is a dan gerous one and the wonder is that more accidents do not becur, since the railroad company has provided no pro tection, not even stationing a flagman at the dangerous point.

Mr. Curtis was very much Impressed with this part of Oregon. Speaking of his trip he said: "The drive over from the railroad was delightful, and the forests were as fln as I have ever seen. You have a beauti ful lot of timber around you. The water supply of this country surpasses any I have ever seen. "It seems to be a god farming country here; the soil Is exceedingly rich, and wherever the water is you can see what can be done with It if it was irrigated. "We are all going to help get an appro priation through Congress to improve Crater Lake National Park. Crater Lako has not been very much advertised, and Congress is entirely ignorant of the at traction of this beautiful and wonderful lake. "When you get a railroad in here, we expect you to improve your roads and get ready to -accommodate tourists. As soon as you provide easy access to and suitable accommodations at Crater Lake, crowds of tourists will visit It every Summer. Next to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado and the Ycsemlte. I think Crater Lake has the grandest scenerj' In America." Besides Mr. and Mrs. Curtis and Messrs. Fee and Craig were: James Horsburgh, Jr., assistant general passenger agent of the Southern Paclflc; W. E. Travis, of Portland; F. D. Judah and G. Hassel, of San Francisco, and E. D.

Late Captaia. of the Goard Kees Doe Not Get Expected Soft Berth. OLYMPIA. Wash., Sept. (Special.) A dispatch sent out from Walla Wal la yesterday that a soft berth had been provided by Warden Kees for C B. WopJ, the captain of the guard at the penitentiary, who was ordered dis missed iby the Governor, by the ap pointment of Deputy Assessor E. G. Rourkc, traveling guard, was proved inaccurate by the Board of Control to, day, who, after a consultation with the Governor, directed the appointment of A. B. Estabrook, of Belllngham, trav eling guard, to succeed J. D. Smith, who gets Wood's place. According to Walla Walla reports Wood was to get Rourke'a place. The statement emanates from the executive department that there is no clash of authority, however, and that Kees fully understands that Estabrook Is to have Smith's place. Estabrook Is an old friend of the Governor and was Sheriff two terms of Whatcom County when the Governor was Prosecuting Attor ney. He was given a position as guard at the penitentiary early -in the year, but did not like the work and resigned after a few days. The law gives the warden the ap pointive power of his subordinates, but as the warden is appointed by the Board of Control and the Board of Con trol Is appointed by the Governor, the desires of the executive as to appoint ments are weightier than those of the warden.

For sil by all aruffglfU, mm mm BEN SELLING LACK MMTEfl RULES Hundreds of Settlers on New Irrigation Projects. REGULATIONS ARE NEEDED Those Proposed by tho Land Compa nies Were Rejected Sonic Time Since by State Board for t Various Reasons. 8AL.EM, Or.. Sept. 2. (SpeciaL) The adoption of rules and regulations gov erning the distribution of "water to settlers by Irrigation companies who have reclaimed land under the Carey act, is one of the Important duties tho State Land Board must soon perform. Two large areas of arid land in tho Deschutes country, in Crook County, have been put under Irrigation and next Spring hundred of settlers will begin using water from tho Irrigation sys tems. As yet no rules have been adopted, though the State Land Board has had the matter under consideration once or twice in an Informal way. The state law accepting the terms of the Carey act, provides that the reclamation com pany shall adopt rules, with the ap proval of the board, which virtually means that tho rules must be adopted by the beard also. The Three Sisters Irrigation Com pany, now owned by the Columbia Southern Irrigation Company, submit ted a set of rules more than a year ago but, the board rejected them, on the ground that some of the regula tions were unreasonable, unfair to the settler and not within the Intent of the reclamation laws. One of the most ob jectionable rules was that requiring payment of annual water rates In ad vance, with the privilege of shutting off the water if the rate be not so paid. This the board thought unreasonable because the settler gets his money when he sells his crop and It; Is most convenient for him to pay at that time. Another objectionable provision was that which gave the company the double remedy of shutting- off the water and bringing suit to foreclose tho lien for the amount due. with at torneys fees. The board was of the opinion that If the irrigation company has a lien on the land this is security enongh and there should be no au thority to snut oft the water supply In case the company and the settler dis agreed concerning the amount due or the company had not been paid all It claimed. The provision regarding- the payment of an attorney feo was also thought unreasonable. There were provisions in the pro posed rules fixing a maximum amount of water to which the settler should .be entitled and authorizing the com pany to apportion the water pro rata In caso there should be a shortage. Concerning these provisions the board was in some doubt and desired further Information before giving- the rule its approval. The irrigation company has not submitted other proposed rules and the whole matter remains Jn abeyance. The state now has a State Engineer who will Investigate subjects of this kind and advise the board. Whether the companies will concede tho right of tli. boatfl to JTtCt lLBJHtlrfjEtQrX xulux Copy remains to bo seen. It is contended by some who have read the law that since the companies are. given power to adopt rules with the approval of the board, the beard has no power to adopt any rules except those that may be pro posed by the companies.
