Klffh Prloas Oct Blama. It is answered In his behalf, that several years ago, when Mr. NfiWpH lsJd his plans, ho assumed that prevailing prices of labor and supplies would re main approximately tho same as they were at that time; that there would be only such changes as market fluctua tions ordinarily would cause. However, after most of the plans for construction had been formed, a sub stantial increase took place In the cost of all things which enter Into the de velopment of Irrigation plants, and the original estimates and assignments of reclamation funds to the several proj ects proved to be inapplicable to tho new condition, hence Issuance of bonds or certificates became necessary. Klamath Project as Instance. A specific Instance is supplied by the Klamath project, in southern Oregon The reclamation service advertised for certain work to be done, and received bids, the lowest of which was approxi mately 130,000. In the call for bids was a reservation of the right to re fuse 'any or all bids. The service dls covered later that it was essential to postpone this work, and did so. Still later, the same work was advertised and the lowest bid was well towards the 1 1 00,000 v mark Numerous other Illustrations could he cited, all showing how the change In the market for labor and materla'o threw askew the estimates of the irrl gatlon service. Is Ore at Engineer. These facts, so the supporters of Dl rector Newell aver, answer fully the claims tnat he lias been less than ef ficient in his management of the busi ness phases of reclamation. ' His skill as an engineer never has been attacked, it being admitted that he is one of the greatest in the United States, and that he has devised some measures and means which have been marvels of efficiency, when Judged alongside the achievements of America's most celebrated engineers. The claim Is made for him that he lias saved im mensely on most plants by this faculty of devising new methods to meet new conditions.

Angered by the continued adverse rul ings of the presiding chairman, Terence Farley, of counsel for Sheppard ox- claimed : "I want to show that this proceeding is a put up job to discredit Sheppard." Attorney Parley had Just secured the admission from J. Paul V Lloyd, secre tary of the governing board of the Pennsylvania division of the Military! league, ut- whoso meet last December Sheppard is alleged to have, made him self liable to the charges that he i Lloyd) had himself made out a bill for Shejipard's expenses; that Sheppard had lover submitted a bill, and that the li. ck mailed to the runner had been sent to Sheppard after the Pennsyl vania organization had suspended him. Attorney Farley contended that the committee trying Sheppard had no legal standing and that the runner had been deprived of his legal rights when not allowed to compete in military con tests. Chairman Garcia overruled all his objections. 13 y a special ruling of the trial com mittee Sheppard was permitted to run at the games of the Spanish War Vet erans tonight.

It matters not whether you have a small amount or a large amount of money the following will appeal to youi Join Our Purchasing Syndicate There is no chance to lose, and you can not help making a big, prof it. Here is our story: Last week a client of ours read our ad vertisement for lands for colonization pur poses. He thought he had what we want ed, and came to see us. He-brought with him a description of 6036 acres. It reads as follows: Situated in a level valley, about 40 miles wide and 90 miles long, completely fenced, 640 acres under plow, 3500 in hay and 1896 acres virgin soil (never had a plow in it), completely equipped for irrigation, all main ditches completed and lateral ditches sufficient to irrigate' eVery acre except the. . virgin land, and water can be put on every 40 of the virgin land for a cost not ex ceeding $25 each 40. The owner of the land has a perpetual and exclusive water right from a mountain stream that fur nishes a sufficient supply of water to irri gate the entire 6036 acres, and a surplus sufficient to supply another tract equally as large. It i$ not, jn any sense a construction proposition, but is a completed one. The property is ready for subdivision, and the only expense necessary to market or retail the property is to enter upon a selling campaign, do the necessary adver tising, etc. The proposition looked so good to us that we prevailed upon our client to give us a 30 days' option of purchase at $50 per acre, including 'water rights. (The .government is absolutely charging more than this for water, to say nothing about the land and the annual maintenance of from $2 to $4 per acre.). The owner of the land will and does guarantee that the ,water maintenance on this tract will .not exceed 10 cents per acre per annum. This land is capable of producing as great a yield, under irrigation, as any in the United States; in fact, it is doing so now. Our Proposition "We propose to form a syndicate to buy this land, and immediately thereafter to put it on the market. 6036 acres, at $50 per acre, will cost .9301,800 We can subdivide the land into 20 and 40-acrc tracts and sell it to farmers and give' them the best value in the country at $100 per acre $603,600 Subscriptions to Purchasing Syndicate Will be received for syndicate units on basis of $3018, payable as follows: With subscription..? 325 June 10, 1910.... 293 Sept. 10, 1910.... 200 March 16, 1911.... 300 March 16, 1912 . . . . 300 March 16, 1913.... 300 March 16, 1914.... 300 March 16, 1915.... 300 March 16, 1916.... 300 March 16, 1917.... 300 March 16, 1918.... 100 Making a gross profit of. .$301, 800 It will cost, in commissions, 1 etc., to market this land, not than $150,000 less Making net profit of $151,800 This land can be purchased on the fol lowing terms: March 16, 1910....$ 32,500 June 10, 1910.... 29,300 Sept. 10, 1910.... 20,000 March 16, 1911.... 30,000 March 16, 1912.... 30,000, March 16, 1913.... 30,000 March 16, 1914.... 30,000 March 16, 1915.... 30,000 March 16, 1916.... 30,000 March 16, 1917.... 30,000 March 16, 1918.... 10,000 Total $301,800 Jt Is Now Proposed To organize a Purchasing Syndicate with capital stock of $301,800. This capital stock to be represented by 100 units of the par value of $3018; that the Union Bank & Trust Company shall have the manage ment of the syndicate, cause the title of the property to be placed in the name of the Union Bank & Trust Company as trus tee, and to at once take the necessary steps to subdivide the land into tracts of .40 acres each-; to sell the 40-acre tracts at $4000 each, payable $800 dWn, $800 in one year, $800 in two years, $800 in three vears, and $800 in four vears. Total $3018 Subscriptions will be received for any number of. units, but cannot be .accepted for fractional parts of units. WE HAVE NO HESITANCY IN SAYING THAT UNIT HOLDERS WILL NOT BE CALLED UPON TO MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL PAY MENTS AFTER THE FIRST ONE. Our inquiries from the east for this class if land are such that we believe we can sell every acre of it during the year 1910; and, inasmuch as the proceeds from the sale of land will be applied on deferred payments due present owners, there is very little probability that the unit hold ers wilt ever be called for anything but the $325. The net profit accruing to each unit holder will not be less than $1518. If you think that is about right on an in vestment of $325, come around and sign up. We must complete this syndicate this week, and this advertisement will not appear again. If you want to know what the Union Bank & Trust Company-is doing in its Real Estate and Colonization Department, come and see us and we will show you. This may convince you that you can not afford to let this opportunity pass. Wre have unlimited confidence in' this proposition and our ability to handle it in the year 1910. Respectfully Submitted.
