Nature is performing one of the most extensive portions of the reclamation work of the Klamath pro ject, and also one of the most expen sive parts included in the estimafj. which is the drainage of Tule Lake. Reports received by telephone today from J. Frank Adams, of Tule Lake, bring intelligence that the water of the lake Is rapidly falling, and a tre mendous whirlpool has formed Just off Scorpion Point, through which the water Is passing with a deafening roar that can be heard a great distance. Be low is apparently a great channel un derground through which the waters find outlet beneath the Modoc lava beds and thence through the drainage of Fall River to Pitt, and finally on to the ocean through the Sacramento and San Francisco Bay. It has long been held by geologists that Tule Lake has an underground outlet, and that Kail River, which bursts from a gushing spring In Modoc County, Cal.. Is the vent. Last spring the lake water reached a t.igher level than has ever been known since the country was settled, and bordering farms were Inundated. For several days the water has been receding and Investigation revealed the new outlet. Should the vent entirely drain the bodv of the lake, it will add 50,000 acres of Irrigable land to the project and at a saving of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the people of the Klamath Basin, as the intended diversion of Lost River will be rendered unneces sary, t WARRANT FOR MRS.

CRACK SAFE AND GET $30H Yeggmen Do Neat Stunt in New Goose Saloon at Rainier. RAINIER. Or.. Nov. 23. (Special.) The safe In the New Goose saloon was cracked at an early hour this morning and about $300 secured. The burglars effected an entrance through the back door. The money was contained in a small fireproof safe. The robbers drilled through the top. introduced some nitro glycerine, wrapped the safe In a canvas, lit the fuse and withdrew to a safe dis tance. The explosion tore the safe door from Its hinges and threw It nearly across the room, scattering the money over the floor. The burglars then returned and humbly picked up the greater portion of the money, leaving a few dollars in small change upon the floor. It Is believed they then went to the wharf and crossed to the Washington side of the Columbia River as a half dollar, stained by the ex plosion was found on the wharf. A peculiar feature of the robbery is that a tin box containing $40 in cur rency was overlooked. Two certificates of deposit on the First National Bank of Portland were taken. The money found on the floor after the robbery was badly discolored and unless the robbers are shrewd enough not to attempt to dispose of it for some time, this fact may aid In their detection. Still Threshing In Gilliam. CONDON. Or.. Nov. 23. (Special.) A great amount of threshing is still to be done in this county. One crew In Ferry Canyon has 25 days' work ahead. The farmers are hampered a great deal by the fact that the threshers 'will take nothing in payment except gold coin, and this Is hard to get.

J p - 1 i I I I TOO FAR TO WALK Hawaiian Girls Have Trouble Returning From Juneau. CHECKS DON'T BUY TICKETS Steamship Company Refuses to Cash Seattle Paper Convention Dele gates Help the Party to Secure Funds. SEATTLE. Wash.. Nov. 23. (Spe cial.) Mrs. Edyth Tozier Weatherred and the nine Hawaiian girls who have been touring the Pacific Coast states, will leave next week for Victoria and Vancouver. Then they go home. The Hawaiian girls came down from Alaska the most popular excursion .party that ever went north. There was a bit of trouble at Juneau over drafts and tickets, but It was a trouble shared by a score or more of delegates who attended the Juneau Republican Convention. It all came up this way: The dele gates prolonged the meeting of the Alaska convention beyond any reason able length of time and found it nec essary to return home on the steamer Jefferson, owned by the Alaska Steam ship Company. The Humboldt, oper ated by the Pacific Coast Company, had taken the party north and watted 12 hours to take them back, but at the last moment the delegates and Ha waiian party decided to stay' over. Up to the time of departure there was no trouble in Juneau in cashing checks and drafts. But when boat time drew near delegates found thelf checks were turned back and the steamship company would not take them. The story of the refusal of steamship officials to take the drafts of the Hawaiian party was cabled out from Juneau. What ought to have been added was that everybody homeward-bound was In the same predica ment. There was a furious scramble for funds before the Jefferson Failed and everyone with a friend in Juneau dragged him from bed to get funds. It was a bohemian effort to get" every body equipped for the trip home along the shore line is one that no person but a suicide would at tempt. It is a long enough trip by boat, and the walk home did not look good to anybody. At one time a threat was made that the delegates and Ha waiian party would go aboard the boat, move into staterooms and negoti ate later with the purser. This led to the story cabled generally from Juneau that -the Hawlian girls became figurative stowaways. It was a nar row escape for everybody, and but fot a last-minute round-up a couple of score would have been compelled to attempt that escape from Junea"u. The Hawaiian party had a genuine hairbreadth escape at Ketchikan. The returning delegates went ashore to hold a big meeting in that town whereat John W. Corson made a home rule speech to nearly 500 persons, in cluding all the school children of the town. Stores closed for the meeting and the Hawaiian girls sang several songs as a feature of the meeting Captain Nord, of the Jefferson, was In a hurry to reach Metlakahtla before dark and he attempted to pull away from Ketchikan before half of the party returned. But for the interces sion of John W. Corson, Nord would have taken the Jefferson out with all but one of the Hawaiian girls and a number of the passengers still ashore. Mrs. Weathered 111. Mrs. Edyth Tozier Weatherred is ill and it is probable the Hawaiian girls will be detained in Seattle until the middle of next week. Mrs. Weatherred Is suffering from the effects of a se vere fall In Juneau and nervous ex haustion. While her condition is not serious, it is impracticable for the chaperone to start home with her charges in her present condition. It may be the girls will miss their trip to Victoria and Vancouver. but Mrs. Weatherred will make every effort to get up in time for that Journey. The entire party is at the Butler Annex. ( GUX-SLIXG DAVE" PROMOTED Noted Marksman Becomes Ordnance Sergeant In Coast Artillery. FORT STEVENS. Or., Nov. 23. (Spe cial.) When the appointment of Ser geant Richard N. Davidson, Ninety-third Company Coast Artillery Corps, Fort Stevens, to the grade of ordnance ser geant, the line of the United States Army loses one of Its best known characters. Sergeant Davis is better known as "Gun-sling Dave," having de rived this sobriquet from hia wonder ful ability in hitting the bull's-eye. "Gun-sling Dave" was born In Frank lin. Tenn.. May 20. 18S3. and first en tered the army Mfarch 17. 1886. He be gan his shooting career at Bellevue Rifle Range, near Omaha, Neb., where he won his first medal. In 1891. on the same range, he won the department gold medal. The year following he again won the gold medal, making 730 points out of a possible 800; a score which has never been beaten. This record was made with the old Springfield rifle, caliber .45. After winning these three au-' thorized department medals, he was ad vanced to the class of "distinguished marksman." The same year, at the army competition, at Fort Sheridan, 111., he took second prize, being beaten for first place by only three points. For this he again received a gold medal. Immediately after the army meet, teams from the army, Wisconsin, Illi nois and Iowa competed on the same range. As before, "Gun-sling" took away the medal. In 1893 he won what is known as the Buffalo medal, it being the first prize in the class of distinguished marks men. From 1892, until the Springfield rifle was exchanged for the Krag, In 1896, he was the champion shot of the United States Army. Owing to changes being made in competitions, rifles, etc., he did not participate in any more shooting con tests until 1902, when he took third place at the army competition at Fort Sheridan, III. The next meet of Im portance occurred in 1906. at Sea Girt. N. J. Teams of all the National Guard organizations. Army and Navy met to shoot for the National trophy. There "Gun-sling Dave" led his team (the victorious Army Infantry team), making the remarkable score of H12 polnte out of a possible 350, at ranges running from 200 to 1000- yards, using both rapid fire and skirmish run. In 1907 he again was a member of the Army infantry team, and as usual made an excellent score. In all he has 13 medals now in army contests, six solid gold, two silver and five bronze. In addition to these medals he has a number which he has won In minor competitions. Sergeant Davidson is perhaps better $5.00 $6.50 $8.50 $10.00 $12.50 known in the army than any other en listed man and there will be no one but who will rejoice In his late ad vancement. While shooting at the campetition at Camp Perry, O., this Summer. Davidson met all of the mem bers of the Oregon team, and they as well as the army know him better by his nickname. "Gun-sling." PRACTICAL! STUDY AT EUGENE School Children Rais Crops and Learn Sewing. EUGENE, Or., Nov. 23. The interest which the pupils of the public schools are taking In the agricultural course offered here for the first time this year. Is greater than was anticipated by even its strongest advocates. Each of the schools of the city has rented its separate lot and is actively at wqrk in the raising of crops that shall be harvested by the end of the present school year. Everything is done on strictly a business basis, so much rent Is paid and each student bears his por tion of the expense, which will be met when the crops are gathered late In May and early in June. So deep has been the Interest shown by the pupils that they have collected from the Government and other sources a lot of literature which would be the envy of the scientific farmer, and the library at' the present time is quite complete in many departments, and arrangements have been made to secure the Govern ment publications and such other liter ature as will keep the collection up to date. A number of different crops will be put In on the leased land and considerable at tention given to horticulture. The boys do all the plowing and preparing of the soil and will attend to the cultivating and. In fact, everything until the harvest is complete. The principal attention of the present year will be given to the raising of food stuffs and the propagation oT trees, bushes and vines that will later bear fruit. Although there are a number of groups of children giving special at tention to floral culture, and a civic Im provement society will, no doubt, be the outgrowth of this work Special interest is being taken in the growing of roses and it is the plan of the. children to see that many roses are raised In the different homes, and it is their hope, next year to have a great many planted along the streets of the city anil in other public places. While the boys of the schools, several hundred strong, are at work raising crops, the girls of the schools are being Instructed in the art of sewing, principal attention being given to plain sewing at this time. While this department of domestic science has been In operation only a few weeks, many of the parents have stated to the teachers of the schools that their children had come to be very useful with the needle about home, and the interest of the girls at school in their sewing work is equal to that of the boys In agriculture. Both the cost of conducting the ex periments in agriculture and in domestic science is very slight and it is hoped be fore very long, through the co-operation of the people of Eugene, to establish a course of manual training in the schools as well as to improve the work already under way. RIGHTS MUST BE RESPECTED Jndge Snell Makes Important Deci sion In Condemnation Suit. TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 23. (Special ) Making one of the most important recent rulings in the Superior Court. Judge Snell today held that a corporation, whether it be a railroad or any other, cannot brinj condemnation proceedings against an in dividual causing him expense, time and trouble, and then ask to have the case dismissed without first reimbursing the defendant.

Perky, local counsel for George A. Pettibone. said today the trial would surely begin next Monday. He said Pettibone would consent to no further delays, and as the Adams case will be finished tonight there would be no good reason for the case not coming to trial.

Senator Borah will not return to Boise until Congress convenes and he takes the oath of office. He will then hurry to Boise to assist in the prosecution.
