MINE IS OPEN ALL WINTER
OOLI CRKKK DISTRICT KEEPS
WORKMEN KM PLOYED.
Larger Crews Will Be Put On in
Spring, W hen Smelters May
Re Installed.
ALBANY. Or.. Jan. 23. (Special.)
For the first time since the fiold tYeck
mining district was discovered, work
was not suspended In the district this
Winter. It ha always been the custom
heretofore to shut down work during the
Winter months and push the develop
ment work in the Summer, hilt this Win
ter work has continued In all five of the
active mines of the district.' The Lewis
& Clark mine closed down until Spring
only a few days ago. and the other four
are yet working with small crews.
The fact that work Is now progressing
for the first time during a Winter sea
son and the plans now under way for
greater development assure unprecedent
cd activity In the district next Spring.
All of the mines will put on larger crews
than ever before. A big body of copper
ore. carrying values In gold and silver,
was uncovered recently In the Black
Eagle mine, and the owners of that
property are anxiously awaiting better
weather to begin active development on
this new rich ledge.
Two smelters are also In prospect for
the district and work will likely begin
on them tho coming Summer. One of
these is to be built by the Wilson-Uads-den
Company, of Portland, for the use
of the Gold Creek. Freeland Consolidated
and Electric mines. The Black Eagle
Company, which owns the largest mine
in tho district, is planning to install a
smelter of its own. its ores being par
ticularly adapted to smelting.
But the chief improvement in the dis
trict and the one which will stimulate
the greatest activity this year Is the new
wagon road to the mines. This district,
which lies west of Mount Jefferson and
about 14 miles northeasterly from Gates,
on the Corvallis & Eastern Railroad, the
nearest railroad point, has heretofore
been reached- by a mountain trail only.
But during the last Summer and Fall
the Black Eagle Company has built a
road to within two miles of Its mines
at a cost of 3S000. The bridges for the
road were constructed by Marion County
and the road Is pronounced one of the
best mountain thoroughfares in the state.
This road will be completed to the mine3
aa soon as the Winter Is over.

Marshfield Attorneys Who Figure

F. W. needer.
jyf AR5HF1 &UD. Or.. Jan. a. (special.)
1 F. TV. Reedcr and George W'atkins
are the Marshtield attorneys of tho firm
of Reeder & Watkins who have been
brought Into the limelight inrougu
the Tillman-Dorr-Roosevelt controversy.
feeder & Watkins conceived th9 idea of
bringing suit against the Southern Ore
gon Company, the present owners of the
Coos Bay -wajton road grant In Southern
Oreiron. According vo this grant the
land was to be sold for iisO an acre to
settlers. L pon he payment o. a sum
anoroximately . Keeder & waiKins
would agree to make a tender of C50 an
acre for lSu acrta of land to the company
on hrJialf of their client. If the company
refused, which it always did. they further
agreed to sue the company in the Fed
eral Court to compel It to accept the J400
and give a deed to the land to the client.
Since the land of the company is now
very valuable, certain tracts of 160 acres
being worth as high as S.000. It will bs
seen that almost anyone would pay fc!00
for the prospective chance of securing a
tract of land worth J5000 to J2A upon
the- additional payment of JKO if the law
suit were successful. The scheme was

FARMERS TAKING STOCK
Wheat Fields, It Is Believed, Will
Give Way to Orchards and Small
Farms Farmers Take Active
Interest in the Project.
LA GRANDE, Or., Jan. 23. (Spe
cial.) Preliminary steps In the for
mation of an Incorporation capitalized
at $600,000 were taken this afternoon
at the Irrigation Congress, held hero
and attended by over 400 farmers. The
direct result of the meeting was the
adoption of a report which provides
for incorporation and the closing of
the subscription boks on April J. when
the construction of tho gigantic proj
ect will begin on one of iro plans,
namely, the irrigation of 0".000 acres
by building a long canal to the Sand
rldge country, or by irrigating 1R.000
acres south and east of La Graiide by
building a less expensive canal In an
other direction. The cost price for the
water under either project will be $20
an acre.
Natural TCescrroir Provided.
The detailed plans for tho project
were prepared by Engineer Young,
whose report points out how the
Meadow Brook canyon. IS miles up tha
Grand Ronde River from La Grande.
Is the outlet for an abundance of
water. Where the canyon widens Into
the river. Nature has provided stone
walls a dlstanre of about 100 feet
apart. Here it is that a huge cement
dam Is to be built. The ends are to
be imbedded into the solid rock on
either side, preventing possibility of
washouts or leaks. Thus harnessed,
the canyon will in the Spring store
enough water In a natural rock basin
behind it to cover 20.000 acres of land
with one foot of water.
With proper outlets the water will
flow 18 pilles down the, river until the
valley Is reached, there to be diverted
in two directions: one to the north to
the semi-arid Sandrldge country, era
bracing about 8000 acres, and the other
southeast through the city of La Grande
to the country east and south of this
city.
With Irrigation water, it is believed
that the wheat land will bo converted
Into orchard and small farms, thus en
abling the valley to supply a much
larger population.
Payments to Extend Over lO Tears.
The plans advanced and adopted here
today are to form an organization of
those who subscribed for water, and
by giving a contract on the stipulated
acres subscribed, the land-owners will
be given 10 years in which to pay the
cost. Two dollars a year for 10 years
for each acre subscribed is the plan in
brief. Committees were appointed to
draft the contracts to be signed by each
subscriber for water.
The topography of the valley is Buch
that both main canals will follow the
contour of the valley, and from them
will be constructed the laterals and the
sub-canals that will reach each farmer.
La Grande, realizing the great bene
fits it will derive from the finished
project, today gave itself over to a
half-holiday, practically every business
of the city was represented at the meet
ing which convened this afternoon at 2
o'clock. Farmers commenced to come
before noon and by the time the meet
ing was called to order by President
Collier, of the La Grande Commercial
Club, which has fathered the project,
the Steward Opera House was well
filled with farmers and city people.

so alluring and appealed so strongly to
the speculative instinct that Recder &.
Watkins found plenty of clients willing
to buy an interest in a lawsuit. Out of
the SM0 retainer, Reeder & Watkins paid
cruisers to spy out the most valuable
quarter sections and also a commission of
aj to 26 per cent to real estate men and
others who secured clients for them. Aa
there are 90.000 or more acres In the grant,
and each client made a tender for IttO
acres, it will be seen that there was room
for over 500 clients in the suit. If Reeder
& Watkins had secured 250 clients they
would have stood to realize at least 125.
000 for their pains. In ortnglng the suit.
Senator Tillman waa one of the applicants
and he thought well enough of the scheme
to make preliminary application for nine
quarter sections for hlmeelf and relatives.
Byron R. Dorr, whom Tillman denounced
In the United States Senate, was acting
as an azetrt for Reeder & Watkins In se
curing clients for them on a commission
basis. He advertised Tillman's connec
tion with the scheme to attract In
vestors and brought down upon his head
the wrath of Tillman. Only the fact that
iTesldent Roosevelt came to his rescue
and laid the facts before Congress re
stored Dorr's reputation. ,

Charcoal Purifies
Any Breath
And in ts Purest Form Has Long
Been Known as the ureatesi
Gas Absorber.
Pure willow charcoal will oxidize
almost any odor and render it sweet
and pure. A panful in a foul cellar
will absorb deadly fumes, for charcoal
absorbs one hundred times its volume
in gas.
The ancients knew the value of char
coal and administered it In cases of
illness, especially pertaining to the
stomach. In England today charcoal
poultices are used for ulcers, boils, etc..
while some physicians in Europe claim
to cure many skin diseases by covering
the afflicted skin with charcoal pow
der. Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges go into
the mouth and transfer foul odors at
once into oxygen, absorb noxious gases
and acids and when swallowed mix
with the digestive juices and stop gas
making, fermentation and decay.
By their gentle qualities they con
trol beneficially bowel action and stop
diarrhoea and constipation.
Bad breath simply cannot exist when
charcoal is UBed. s There are no Ifs or
ands about this statement. Don't take
our word for it, but look into the mat
ter yourself. Ask your druggist or
physician, or better still, look up char
coal in your encyclopedia. The beauty
of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges is that
the highest pharmaceutical expert
knowledge obtainable has been used
to prepare a lozenge that will give to
man the best form of charcoal for use.
Pure willow and honey is the result.
Two or three after meals and at bed
time sweeten the breath, stop decay of
teeth, aid the digestive apparatus and
promote perfect bowel aqtlon. They
enrich the supply of oxygen to the sys
tem and thereby revivify the blood and
nerves.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are sold
everywhere in vast quantities, thus
they must have merit. Every druggist 1
carries them, price twenty-five cents
per box, or send us your name and ad
dress and we will send you a trial
package by mail. free. Address F. A.
