JAPAN WILL OPPOSE.
Will Not Willingly Yield Manchurian
Interests Dearly Bought.
Tokio, Jan. 1. No doubt may bo
entertained concerning Japan's attitude
toward the American plan to neutral
ize the -Manchurian railways. Secre
tary Knox's proposition has not called
forth a word of favor from any source
in Japan. Tho diplomats here, whilo
disinclined to express opinions, cer
tainly do not support the project.
j. no jvoKumin, a somi-oiiicial organ,
representing tne view ot I'remicr Jvat-
sura, says the Japanese reply to tho
American note will bo couched in
friendly terms because the suggestion
comes from a friendly power, but at

WET G6.000 ACRES.
Big Projoct In Baker County
Walts for Settled Woathor.
Only
Baker City With tho opening of
spring work will begin on tho two res
ervoirs planned by tho Powdnr Valley
Irrigation company, tho main reservoir
being situated in the Thief river val
ley, located onjlho old Fisk and Gilbert
ranches, soven milos east of North
Powdor and 20 miles north of Baker
City. This reservoir will conserve 60,
000 acre feet of water. Tho other res
ervoir, is to be Bituatcd about 30 miles
northwest of Baker City, at the half
way house on the Union atago lino,
near Sanger, and will conaorvo about
24,000 acre feet of wator.
When completed, tho entire system
will irrigate about 65,000 acres of
land, extending from the MiIcb bridge
east to what is known as Table rock,
or five miles east of Gooso creek, on
both sides of Powder river, covering a
strip of fine land about 30 miles wide
The immensity of this irrigation
scheme can hardly bo realized, but tho
difference in the amount of bay, grain
of all kinds, fruit and what not, that
will bo produced on these broad acres
in the very near future, will toll the
tale in tho farmers' bank accounts.
IMPROVEMENTS ON O. R. & N
Coyote, Umatllla( May Be Division
Umatilla May Be Abandoned.
Pendleton It now seems that tho
long pending Coyote-Echo cutoff on
tho O. R. & N. iB to become a reality
soon. Rumors ore current hore
among railroad people that tho sum
of $707,946.25 has been appropriated
for that purpose. This, coming on the
heels of the announcement that $1,-
020,000 has been set aside for elimina
tion of curves between Yoakum and
Pendleton, means that the O. R. & N,
contemplates the expending of nearly
$2,000,000 on improvements in Uma
tula and Morrow counties, as it ia now
understood that the big cutoff is to
be made from Coyote to Echo, via
Stanfield, that will eliminate 8.8 miles
of present trackage. Coyote is to be
made a terminal, as it is understood
the order calls for terminal improve
ments, including a ten stall round
house. The general understanding iB
that, as far as the main line is con
cerned, Umatilla will cease to be a di
vision point. It is a matter of specu
lation as to what route the cutoff will
take, as engineers have surveyed three
possible routes. As to the improve
ment between this city and Yoakum,
it is said the work will reduce the dis
tance 14 miles. The maximum curva
ture will be about four degrees, while
at present it is ten. The stretch of
track at Horseshoe curve will be
brought up to a standard roadbed.
Defective Lemons Destroyed.
Roseburg California lemons cover
ed with parasite, known as oyster shell
scale, has been discovered in Roseburg

had them destroyed. Carson stated
that if California is going to continue
to send such fruit into the state, Ore
gon will have to compel an inspection
before sale. This is a condition already
imposed by California on fruit shipped
from Oregon.
To Get Motor Car Service.
Pendleton A motor car is to be in
stalled on the Oregon Railroad and
Navigation company's line between
Pendleton and Walla Walla to replace
the steam service now connecting with

Rising into tho high wind that hold
tho ponderous dlrlglbloa of lvnauon

can ilow a wido circle In front of the
grandstand at tho rato of 55 miles an
hour, with his friend, Joromo
l'aiichuilll, bosidu him.
Not to bo outdouo, Paulhan took ono
nC hin mochnn o aus into his macuine
and ilow twice around tho nillo and
half course. Ho failed to equal tho
speed Curtiss had dovelopod, though ho
covered moro ground than his oppon

In tho beginning Jho intrepid little
Frnnohmnn soomod to have liL'llill IllO

Thrleo ho drovo ono of his big Far

garding tho stilt wind blowing in from
tho soa. Thou, in a tiny Bloriot mono
plaue, that looked liko a huge horse
lly, ho gave tho immonso throng in
tho stands and boxes tho first thrill of
tho dav with an exhibition of norvo
and daring that surpassed anything ho
has heretofore attempted.
Sovornl times sighs of apprehonsloii
and shrieks of nervous women rose
from tho crowd as tho tiny machine,
tosaed bv fierce irusts of wind, rollod
and caroonod in tho air. livery mo
meat wus fraught with daiiKor so grwit
that when the night was saioiy over
and tho monoplane had landed, fur
across the fluid, tho throng applauded
wildly.
Apparently sccuro In his renewed
rolo of star of tho mooting and do
lighted by tho applause, Paulhan
brought out his Furinnn and flew
twice moro, once going probably two
milos north of tho ininienso aviation
field, out over tho trees of n contigu

Curtiss remained silent. Garbed In
oil-spotted working clothes, nn old cap
and shoes that had scon duty, ho spent
his timo tuning up tho oight-cylindor
motor on tho biplano with which he
won tho international cup nt Itheims.
Never once did ho look at Paulhan.
When tho fourth flight of tho Far-

was trundled to tho starting point nnd
without hesitation Curtiss motioned to
Fancullli to get in.
Climbing in beside his passenger, tho
aviator gave tho word to his assistant.
A pop and rattlo liko automatic artil
lery followed and tho most remarkable
flight of tho day had bogun.
Describing n wido circle in front of

wildly as ho rattled off instructions to
his crow, sending thorn racing to start
his motor. Thon ho mountod his goat
and roso mnjosticallv. At Alio same
timo Willard and Hamilton brought
tuoir machines to tho start in front of
tho grandstand. As they roso. Curtiss
bockoncd to Clifford Harmon, tho New

swopt upward again. Tho four aoro
pianos circled tho courso and tho
crowd cheered with ronowod fronzy.
Paulhan landed In a few minutes,
uotorminod to regain somo of bin lost

ho nroso and twico circled tho circuit,

In quick succession, Curtiss tried fo
