BERLIN. Sept. 2. At the unveiling: of
a statue of General Baron Steuben at
Potsdam at noon today the Emperor
paid a high tribute to the German sol
dier -who was an ally of George Wash
ington during: the American Revolution,
and at the same time expressed deep
appreciation of the spirit of the Amer
lean people. The statue unveiled today
is a replica of one dedicated In Wash
ington several months agro, and as a
grift of the American Congress to the
German Emperor and the German na
tion was presented by Representative
Richard Bartholdt. of St. Louis, and C.
B. Wolffram, of New York, the special
American ambassadors for the occasion,
The unyeiling of the statue was one
of the central events of this year's
celebration of the anniversary of the
Battle of Sedan.
Bartholdt, who was Introduced to the
Emperor by the American Ambassador,
Dr. Hill, made the speech of presenta
tion. His Majesty, replying: to Represen
tative Bartholdt, expressed the cordial
thanks of himself and the German peo
ple to President Taft and the American
people, "for this beautiful monument."
German Interest Keen.
"When, a few months agro," the Em
peror said, "the Steuben monument was
unveiled In Washington, that celebra
tion was followed with interest in the
German states and the lofty and Im
pressive character assumed by the com
memoration, which was participated In
by the American Government and peo
ple, was noted here with deep satisfac
tion. "We are now glad to possess on Ger
man soli the Image presented to us by
America of that excellent German who,
with inspiring self-sacrifice and un
assuming performance of duty, devoted
his energies to the cause of the Amer
ican people."
Mr. Bartholdt in his speech said:
"Tour Majesty: By direction of the
President of the United States we have
come across the ocean to fulfill the
purport of a resolution unanimously
adopted by the American Congress
providing for the presentation to His
Majesty, the German Emperor, and
the German people of a statue of Gen
eral Von Steuben, a great German and
eastwhile citizen and hero of two con
tinents, as a gift from the American
. people. .
Peace Hope Expressed.
"If in the performance of this hon
orable mission I may be permitted to
interpret the sentiment of the people
or the United States. I would say, on
Denaii or President Tart s special em
bassy, that the profered donation 18

The name or Steuben will ever
awaken patriotic memories beyond the
ocean. Its bearer was the embodiment
of German order and discipline and
or that loyalty or which the poei says.
if It were not as old as the world,
surely a. German would have Invented
it. He was not only the order-creat
Ing genius of the Colonial Army, but
also the Indefatigable, though modest
organizer of victories.
In Just appreciation of his great
achievements a grateful people, nobly
disregarding national distinctions,
honored his memory by the erection
In front of the White House In Wash
ington, of a monument which is to
commemorate his valuable services as
well as those rendered by the Ger
mans generally to the cause of Amer
ican Independence."
Emperor Thanks Taft.
This afternoon the Emperor sent the
following cable to President Taft.
"The Steuben monument has Just
been unveiled. In my own name in the
name of the German people. I thank
you most heartily for this beautiful
gift, which bears such gratifying tes
timony to the friendship between the
German and American nations."
The Steuben monument has been
erected in the Commandanteur garden.
Immediately under the walls of the
Potsdam palace, from the windows of
which the empress and Mrs. Hill
watched the ceremony.
The ceremony served also as a fare
well to the American Ambassador,
David Jayne Hill, who immediately
after the unveiling presented his let
ters of recall to Emperor William, who
received Mr. Hill in private audience.
At the same" time Mrs. Hill was re

PENDLETON. Or., Sept. 2. (Spe

clslons of the courts, a number of
Indians, under the leadership of Red
Elk, one of the head men of the Uma
tilla tribe, last night drove from their
ranches the crew of workmen which
is employed In developing the Thorn
Hollow Springs, from which the city
expects to get its supply of mountain
water. After the workmen had been
driven away the Indians took hoes and
filled up the trenches which had been
dug.
Deputy Sheriff ' Joe Blakely was
called to the sce today and after a
lengthy conference with the Indians,
succeeded in establishing . temporary
peace.
Red Elk is the son of Wen be, the
Indian woman who owns the land upon
which the springs are located. She
refused to sell the land, but the city
brought a condemnation suit and was
compelled to pay her $4000. She has
refused to accept the money. It was
at her bidding that Red Elk and the
other braves, armed with rifles, drove
the white workmen from the ditches.

FILING IS MADE EASIER
NEW RULING FAVORS BESERT
LAND ENTRYMEN.
Final Proof and Title May Now Be
Obtained Before Securing Water
Certificate From State.
SALEM, Or.. Sept 2. (Special.) The
General Land Office has made a rul
ing In favor of the desert land entry-
man in this state, which enables the en-
tryman on a desert claim to make final
proof and secure title to his desert
claim, before securing final water
right certificate from the state.
Water rights for desert claims, like
all others, are Initiated by filing a
water right application In the office of
the State Engineer. This application
is subsequently approved, and returned
to the applicant, and Is his authority
to construct works and apply the water
to the Irrigation of his claim. This ap
plication or permit is analogous to the
certificate the entryman received from
the land office, and as the land office
certificate Is replaced by a deed after
final proof, so is the water permit re
placed by a final water right certifi
cate -or deed, after the land is all un
der Irrigation.
It was this water right certificate
that the land office demanded of an
entryman holding down a claim on an
isolated desert near Denlo, 150 miles
from, the nearest railroad station at
Winnemucca, Nev., and equally as far
from the local land office at Burns.
The matter was brought to the atten
tion of State Engineer Lewis, and he
advised the General Land Office of the
conditions, pointing out that proof
could be made on a desert claim In
three years, while under the state laws,
five years or longer Is allowed to com
plete an appropriation of water. It
was also shown that such a ruling
would operate greatly to the disadvan
tage of the entryman on an isolated
desert claim, enduring hardship In his
endeavor to build up the state and at
the samf time make a living.
a iavumoie repiy to mis appeal was
received yesterday, and entrymen will
hereafter be required to furnish only
certified copy of his permit; and a
statement from the State Engineer- to
the effect that the failure to furnish
such water right certificate Is not due
to the applicant's non-compliance with
the law. '
Desert land entrymen, it is believed,
will have reason to rejoice over this
decision, as thousands of them can now
secure title when one-eighth of the land
is irrigated and cultivated. Instead of
waiting -until the entire tract can be
subjected. Much difficulty has arisen .

matter how large the yields may be
elsewhere, and It Is probable the rec
ognized packs will sell better this sea
son than last, simply because the quan
tity of such fruit available here this
year Is less.
Prunes are not only abundant In Ore
gon, but very high In price, the mar
ket being strengthened by the smaller
world's crop and the fact that there is
no carry-over supply of Oregon prunes
anywhere.
Other orchard fruits , except pears.
have yielded well . and brought good
price;, and the same is true of small j
fruits of all kinds.
Staples at Good Values.
The Oregon potato crop this year Is"
of normal proportions, and the Indica
tions are that prices will be consider
ably above the average.
The onion crop promises to be a little
larger than last year's, and it is almost
certain that values will be good.
Oregon Is coming to the front as one
of the great dairy states of the Union
and as time pases Its importance in this
respect will increase. Conditions here
are ideal for successful promotion of
the dairy Industry, aaf is shown by the
fact that the total value of butter.
cheese and condensed milk produced
this year exceeds that of any other line.
Oregon farmers are receiving better
prices for their milk and cream than
the farmers of any other state in the
Union. The product turned out by the
creameries and cheese factories long
ago attracted the attention of trades
men in other states. Tillamook cheese.
especially. Is known far and wide as
the best cheese produced In the West.
Poultry Prices High.
The poultry industry is growing, but
does not keep pace with the growth of
population. The prices paid producers
for poultry and eggs are high, and are
likely to continue so for years to
come.
The Oregon growers will make more
money out of their hops this year than
ever oeiore. The crop is a large one.
about 100,000 bales, and the price- is
high, and likely to go higher. The
strong market this year is due to sev
eral causes, chief of which Is the par
tial failure of the German crop, due
to the long continued drought. The
English crop is also smaller than usual,
while in New Tork State there is only
half a crop. Statistics show the world's
crop this year to be considerably un
der requirements. For many years
past there has always been a surplus
of hops on the market, carried over
from previous years, but this surplus
has at last been used up and the brew
ers of the world are going into the
new crop year without any reserves.
Hop Growers ' Rejoice.
With the current year's production
short of actual needs prices have natur
ally risen. The Oregon growers, ex
cept the few who contracted early at
low prices, will get handsome returns
for their labor.
For reasons over which they had no
control, the sheepmen of Oregon have
not faxed as well this year as hereto
fore. ' Unfortunately for them, tariff
agitation In the Winter and Spring
seriously depressed the American wool
market and prices were at the lowest
ebb just at the time the Oregon clip
was put on the market. Since then
there has been some recovery, but it
