CAPTAIN SYARTZ' CASE HIS LIFE IN DESPAIR PERUNA'S GREAT VICTORY. (SpecUl DInDSteb to Tht Journal.) Madras. Or.. Feb. 6. The annual rain fall is Increasing- In central Oregon. Where the precipitation a few years ago was 10 and 12 Inches figures show that 15 Inches Is the record for 1909. In the annual report of Local Co operative Weather Observer Rea, Is noted with much Interest the material Increase In the amount of precipita tion, both of rain and snow, the former showing; a total of 10.38 Inches and the latter 6.86, making a total of approxi mately IS Inches of moisture for the year ending December SI. The year 1908 was also somewhat above the average in the amount of molature which is supposed to fall In this section. Although there was no weather observer at this place. during that year, a conservative estimate made in comparison with the precipitation of a few, years previous, would ' tend to Show that probably from 10 to 12 Inches of moisture fell In this section dewing 1908. In view of the reports which have been current heretofore that1 six or eight Inches per year was the maximum for the fall of moisture In this sec tion, the considerable increase of the lasf two years would indicate that n wetter climate Is to be the rule for the central Oregon country. The change Is an especially pleasing one to residents of the Interior, who, with the Increased precipitation, are as sured of sufficient moisture- for the maturing of crops. And. if other cll matlo conditions are not altogetlier favorable, even a partial failure of crops In the country east of the Cascades will be rare. trunk transformed fnto an incubator the twin baby boys of.

The appointment, by the department fit agriculture of a committee 'to Inquire nto the present state Of the flax grow ing Industry In Ireland is to be wel otoraed. and it may be hoped that the committee as the result of its Inquiries may be able to recommend some meas ures which will arrest the steady de cline of this once flourishing Irish In dustry. . The decrease first became no ticeable after 181; when the area un der flax . was 147,145 .acres, of which 143(873 were in Ulster.

Charges that lands valued at from $50,000,000 to $76,000,000 have been reclaimed without legal warrant from . the banks and shores of navigable rivers and lakes In Illinois and from the shore of Lake Michigan, have been made before the nouse appropriations 'Committee by B. M. Chiperfield, chairman of the special committee that has been Investigating submerged lands. In asking the house financiers to appropriate (15,000 addi tional to continue the work' of his com mittee through the present year, Mr. Chiperfield asserted that in nearly every nook and corner of the state touched by navigable 'waters, encroachments upon meander lines have been found, and lands have been built up, the title to which in most instances apparently still lies in the state. "Everywhere the committee has gone it has found land grabs and encroach ments," said Mr. Chiperfield. "Our dis coveries have been most astounding. We have been compiling notes and plats and other data, and the material now In out possession leads our engineers to estl mate that the reclaimed lands in Illinois are worth between $60,000,000 and J76, 000,000. i Include whole State, "It has been most remarkable. Eyery time we have visited a navigable lake or stream we have found land grabs some where. They extend from Chicago to the Mississippi - and from Cairo to Waukegan. . There is hardly, a county Impinging -upon a navigable lake or stream that does not contain made lands, reclaimed -without j warrant - from the state. ' The committee is prepared to' state that there Is not an Inch of the shore of Lake Michigan from South Chicago to Waukegan that is worth anything that is not telng held by unlawful owners.; , "Secretary of the Interior Ballinger refused to. give the cooperation of the feueral government. to our, committee in determining what, claims the state has to the reclaimed - lands, r' He -told ' this committee that this-state of Illinois U In no wise different from a private citizen and that if It wished any maps or plats from the Interior department It would have to pay for them just as a private cltlten would." .
