Whole Country -Turns Attention to Wonderful Results Attained. Chicago J'Tho people of the United States are alive to the subject of irri gation," states Governor Jos. M. Car ey, of Wyoming. With reference to the National Irrigation congress which holds its 19th session in Chica go, December 5 to 9, Governor Carey adds, "The Irrigation congresses have been one of the greatest factors in ad vancmng irrigation investigations and the promotion of irrigation enter prises. "The congresses do not vote money, nor inaugurate the building of dams, reservoirs and canals, but they do bring together scientists, experts and practical men, which results in the education of the uninformed, and in creating public sentiment on the ques tions affecting the reclamation of the desert lands of the United States, "The irrigation question is one of the most important affecting the states and territories west of the Missouri river. It becomes a great economic question to all the people of the United States. Nothing else has done as much to bring about the pres ent favorable conditions as the irriga tion congresses. These have done great work, but the work has just be gun. These irrigation congresses should be encouraged, supported and widely attended, and no progressive man can afford to neglect them. " Governor Carey, after whom the Carey act is named, was president of the National Irrigation congress of 1897 at Lincoln'. Nebraska, and that of 1898 at Cheyenne, Wyoming. 2,394 Coyotes Are Killed. Baker, Or. A record with the coun ty clerk of Baker shows that 2,395 coyotes have' been killed, for which the state paid 53,591, the bounty be- intr $1.50 for every pelt. The number of bobcats killed in the same time is surprisingly large, the total being 111. These animals are dangerous and nlav havoc amomr. sheep and cat tle. The bounty is $2 per head on bob cats. Only three cougars have been brought in for bounty. The stockmen of the countv are well pleased with the showing; Raising Maine a "Gamble." Washington The total cost of rais ing the wreck of the battleship Maine, now lying in Havana harbor,, is, ti. "gamble," according to Major Caya naugh, the engineer officer in charge of the work. The cost may be cl6se to $1,000,000, Major Cavanaugh told the appropriations committee of the hnusfi. The present appropriation 'for the undertaking is $300,000, but it is certain that this will be insufficient to complete the work. Roads Acquiesce. Chicago There will be no appeal by Western railroads from the decis ion of the Interstate Commerce com mission denying them the right to in crease freight rates, while tho East ern lines, in all probability, will fight "to the last ditch." That is tho es sence of statements made by well in formed railroad officials n .Chicago. No decision to this effect has been reached and none will be for several days, but tho prevailing opinion is very strongly in that direction. Airmen to Guard Border. San Antonio, Tex. Following spec tacular flights in which Philip Poroia leo and Lieutenant B, B. Foulois, in tho arpiy biplane, rose about 1,000 feet at Fort Sam Houston, it was an nounced that tho two mon, with five members of the, signal corps, will go to Laredo to do scout 'duty with the machine along the Mexican border.

Governor West issued a nroclama- tlon today proclaiming Wednesday, March 1. as , Colbnist 'Day. In his proclamation he calls upon the people of the state to avail themselves of tho privilege of sending a personal letter to some one in . an Easten state, accom panied by literature telling of the ad vantages this state has to offer to the homesteader. He declares in his proclamation that Uregon offers unrivaled opportunities to the homeseeker: that bv its ereat diversity of industries this state can furnish homes and occupation for thousands and that by virtue of re duced rates it is possible- for the homeseeker to reach here at trifling cost. Salem, Feb. 23 Two hundred and thirty-three bills were dumped upon the governor since last, Friday. Tho overwhelming task that has confront ed Governor West since Friday has been to read and carefully consider 233 bills, separate the goats from the sheep and be right in his selections or meet the criticism of the public. As a result the governor has been smoth ered and swamped with work, He is spending night and day in the seclusion of his office, putting all oth er matters aside. Even his corres pondence has been forced to wait un til these bills could have his attention. He is just beginning to see daylight from beneath the pile and tomorrow is the last day, for all bills must be filed with the secretary of state within five days after they reach the gover nor, Sundays excluded, or they be come laws anyhow. The governor has called to his as sistance various members of the bar of the city of Salem from time to time and also other advisers who have been close friends of his. He has taken in the members of the bar for the pur pose of getting their legal advice on some of the bills and his other friends have given him advice on the practical side of the measures has had to con sider. In this respect Governor West has hppn mnw cronprmia rhnn wn frnvnmnr Chamberlain, who invariably shut ra. ui: ...u- : -I...J himself away from all advisors for three or four days immediately after a session ot tne legislature ana jumped into the task by himself. Governor West has had more advice of his own choosing than Governor Chamberlain ever would accept but it is also true that Governor West in variably follows his own will after re ceiving the advice and criticism of his circle of friends. Salem, Feb. 22. Considerable scur rying. Toliowea the discovery today that Speaker Rusk s house bill provid ing for second choice at primary elec tions had not reached the office of the governor. It was supposed that all bills had been enrolled and sent to the executive by this morning, hut a thorough search failed to reveal it among the hills in tne governor's office. Chief Clerk Drager, of the house, finally located it, however. Tho bill had not.been enrolled, but will be im mediately and sent to Governor West for his consideration. Governor West today appointed the commission to make arrangements for placing the statue pi George H. Wil liams in Statuary Hall, Washington, D. C. The commission is to be made up of Dr. T. L. Eliot, C. E. S. Wood and George H. Himes, curator of the Oregon Historical society. Annrovcd Ur Governor. 8. U. 2. by Hawley For registration of fnrm names. 8.

Bill Unintentionally Altered. Salem Governor West has discov ered that senate bill 225 was altered, most probably unintentionally, in en rolling, so that it excludes train dis patchers from its operation. Tho bill is one prescribing a 14-hour limit for tho continual employment of railroad men. There is a clause in tho bill whore the typist coul(J easily have jumped from one lino to another in copying. This was undoubtedly tho manner in whiclUho error was made. TAFT HAS NEW JAP TREATY. Romovos All Restrictions on Immi- gratlon Opposition Oortrttn. Washington. Feb. 22. Tho toxt of a now treaty with Japan, designed to replace that of 1894, and drawn wit! tho special design of eliminating tho restrictions upon immigration con taincd in that treaty, was laid boforo tho senato by President Taft. Tho essential dilForcnco between tho proposed trenty and the existing con vention is said to bo that it omits at roferenco to all such restrictions nnd leaves to the national honor of Japan tho enforcement at her own ports o the limitations upon immigration from Japan now expressly placed upon im mitrration into the United States. Tho document is said to provldo that either country may denounce th treaty at the end of six months if it fails to operate as expected. Bccauso it embodies this radical do parturc from tho existing treaty and touches tho question of tho decpes importance and interest to the Pacific Coast, tho injection of this convention into tho closing hours of the Gist con gress caused a sensation today. That the now treaty will encounter opiwsition seems certain, for, even if it should be speedily reported to tho senate from committee without scr ous controversy within tho committee room, tho western aonaiors aro ox pected to insist upon opiiortunity for debate, which will develop tho full ex tent of their opposition to tho treaty, Unlike matters of ordinary legisla tion, failure of the senate to act upon tho treaty during tho remainder of this session of congress would not of itself extinguish its vitality. PORK IS FAVORITE MEAT. More Hogs Used Than All Other Animals Combined. Washington "Pork caters" is term which may rightfully bo applied to the people of the United States, the figures just mado public by tho census bureau for tho year 1909 may be taken as a basis. The figures show that during that year, -1, -183,000 more hogs were killed in this country for food purposes than all other animals combined, including beeves, calves, sheep and lambs, goats, Kids, etc. During tho year 1909, 30,413,000 hogs were killed for food purposes: 31,900,000 of all other animals. The total number of animals slaugh tcred in tho slaughter houses and meat packing -establishments during 1909 are given as 08,403,000. These fig ures, however, do not represent the entire number of animals killed for food purposes during the period which the report covers, and the grand total can be obtained, it is declared, only upon tho completion of tho statistics of agriculture. DIRECT PRIMARY VETOED. Iowa Governor Condemns 'Orajron System of Electing Senators. Des Moines, Ia. Governor Carroll vetoed the Oregon primary plan bill, which had passed both houses of tho Iowa legislature. Tho governor, in his veto meassge, read to the joint as semoiy, characterized tho measure as an "attempt to indirectly accomplish something that cannot bo done direct ly, and declared that it was a viola tion of the constitution of tho United States. He said that the measure abrogated that section of tho constitution pro viding that legislatures shall elect United States senators. The gover nor holds that the message has no bearing on a proposed amendment to permit the election of senators by the direct vote of tho people, since one is contravention of tho constitution. while the other is a change in the con stitution itself. BalloonistsBravo Cold. Ogdenburg, N. Y. Muffled in furs, Mr. and Mrs. Emilie Barlaticr braved zero weather and a cutting southwest wind in the first winter balloon flight ever made in this part of the country. The French aeronaut and his wife sailed away from Ogdenburg at9:lG at night. Thousands saw them Bwing ow over tho city and disappear in the direction of Montreal. The balloon was a few hours later forced to des cend at Summerstown becauso of a strong cast wind. Americans Held as Spies, San Diego, Cal. Two Americans, young men of good appearanco, are in jail at Tin Juana and will bo tried on tho charge of being insurgent spies. The Mexican authorities refuse to ivc tho names of tho prisoners. This is tho positive statement mado over tho telephone by a correspondent of the Union. Ho was detained bv tho commandimto and not allowed to send any more news. Arabian Tribesmen Kill 60. Jeddah. Arabia Tribesmen who are allies of Seyd Idriseo, tho leader of tho outbreak of Yemen airainst tho Turkish authority, recently captured at Zupra a convoy of 80 camels with provisions and ammunition destined for tho garrison at Elhuiieh.
