FEAR UNITED STATES
Colombia Not Anxious to Stir Up
Trouble at Present.
TURNS DOWN RIVAL CANAL DEAL
Chilean Engineer Abandons Schemo
of Building Second Waterway
Across Isthmus.
Fncatntiva, Colombia, Nov. 18.
'Arturo Undurraga, the Chilean engi
neer, has definitely determined to aban
don his efforts to obtain from tho Co
lombia government a concession for his
canal project, owing to tho fear enter
tained by Colombia of roprisals on the
part of tho United States. "Undurra
ga 's plan was to construct a rival to
tho Panama canal.
In furtherance of his plan for a
canal, Undurraga sought to induce con
gressmen and members of tho diplo
matic corps to inspect tho route at his
expenso, but all declined. ,
A Colombian official has stated that
it appeared inopportune to grant a con
cession to the Chileans bef oro tho
adoption of tho treaty defining tho
boundary between Panama and Co
lombia. When this matter had been settled,
lie added, tho government probably
would grant tho concessions. Letters
exhibited here indicate the willingness
of German and British capitalists to
build a commercial and non-political
canal that could not be closed in event
of war.
Unless the concession is granted it is
feared discontent fomenting at Antio
quia and Cauca will culminate in a re
vival of threats of secession.
Undurraga will sail on November 27
for England by way of New York.
Tho president and congress have ap
pointed a commission to investigate the
separation of Panama from Colombia.
Francisco do Borda, recently ap
pointed minister to the United States,
6ailed for that country today.
PLATINUM FOUND IN SAND.
Discovery Will Mean Much to Coast
Miners in Small Way.
Los Angeles, Nov. IS. Davis T.
Day, United States geological director
of government petroleum work on the
Pacific coast, left here tonight to make
a report to the government in Wash
ington. Mr. Day also is in charge of
the research -work in connection with
nlatinum mininc on the coast.
For several months he has conducted
an investigation of tho beach sands
from Cape Flattery to Lompoc. Before
leaving tonight he said:
"I believe that when the facts con
cerning the platinum mining industry
as we have found them are known, a
creat stimulus will be given.
"Platinum can be taken from the
sands of this coast in paying quantities
by a simple mechanical process at lit
tle expense, while the industry is not
likely to attract the attention of the
big corporations, it will prove of im
mense interest to the miner in a small
way."
CASE CENTUBY OLD ENDS.
Colorado Family Beneficiaries of Vast
English Estate.
Pueblo, Colo., Nov. 18. After being
in controversy for over 100 years, an
estate in England which may repre
sent several million dollars, will revert

to a decision of the English courts,
notice of which has been received by
Mrs. C. O. Dufug, of Pueblo, who re
cently removed to Denver.
Two children in Pueblo William Du

REFORESTATION IS EASY.
(Concluded from lost week.)
I am tbld that 'Germany sponds several
million marks annually to ralso trees,
and receives annually inoro than twico
as much money from tho salo of timber
than sho expends.
I would also ndvocato tho imposing
upon all logged-off lands a b&Blo tax
sufficiently high to insure tholr rovert
ing naturally to tho stato for a reason
able compensation, tho lands to bo util
ized in raising trees for futro goncra
tions; tho levying of this tax to bo sus
pended in case private owners should
wish to set aside their logged-off lands
for tho purpose of raising timber under
state regulations; this timbor to pay a
cutting tax at tho timo it is cut.
Tho dotails of such a tax and tho sot
ting aside of loggod-off lands for tho
raising of timber by private owners aro
matters that can bo worked out; tho in
terests of the people protected; tho rev-
onuo which tho timber and lumber in
terests should rightfully pay tho stato
providedj but collected in such a man
ner as will help conserve our forests in
stead of encouraging owners to cut and
waste them, as undor our present system
of taxation. I am firmly of tho opinion
that if our forests aro to bo consorved
aud now forests grown, the first step
nocessary is tho revision or evolutioniz
ing of our system of taxation.

IRRIGATION IN KLAMATH.
Nearly 40,000 Acres Now Under Suc
cessful Cultivation.
Klamath Falls During tho past 12
months between 30,000 and 40,000 acres
of land havo been placed under irriga
tion ditches in this section, while tho
population of tho irrigated districts has
moro than doubled. , Unirrigated lands
havo advanced from $5 to $20 an acre,
and it is certain that values will go
much higher with tho approach of tho
Oregon Trunk lino, which, in its ar
ticles of incorporation, makes' Klamath
Falls its terminal.
About 100 homes have been built in
Klamath Falls, whilo the country round
about has mado n wonderful develop
ment. Tho nrrival of tho railroad last
spring brought no boom, but there has
been a steady movement in farm lands.
Raw Land Brings 516,000. '
Hood Itivor A big land salo took
place at Hood River a few days ago,
when Charles and J. E. Hall, local cap
italists, bought 160 acres of undevel
oped fruit land from W. H. Marshall,
of Dee, for $16,000. The proporty for
merly bolongcd to tho Velguth family,
of Portland. It is said to be the inten
tion of tho purchasers to clear and set
the land to fruit immediately. Extension
of tho Mount Hood railroad, which has
iust been completed, is causing consid
erable activity in upper valley real
estate.
Largest Wheat Acreago in History.
Atliena Tho number of acres being
seeded this fall in this district will
surpass by far tho record for previous
years. This has been an unusually dry
fall up to tho past two weeks, which
has put tho farmers lato in killing tho
woods and seeding tho extra acreage.
Every hand and team available are at
work, and with another week of fair
weather the busy season will bo over,
Blue stem is growing very popular with
tho farmers.
Yellow Fir.
82
84
My conclusions regarding the growth
of timbor are as follows:
Red fir will attain an average diam
eter of 16 to 18 inches m 40 years; hem
lock a diameter of 18 to 20 inches in the
same length of time. The growth of
tho timber examined by me is about two
inches in diameter during tho past 10
years for trees 40 to 50 years old, and
one inch in diameter for trees 125 to
250 years old. The growth on trees 400
years old is hard to read without a
glass. The uimberman.
