Much Red Tape" Removed in
Carey Act and Many De-, ,
lays May Be Avoided.
(Sl-m Burn of Th Journal.) ,
Balem. Or.. May IS. An act of con.
rrese approved March 15, which amends
the Carey act. 1 regarded by the state
engineer's office as a great Doon in inia
state to tha mora rapid reclamation of
lt arid lands. Tha act removes much
of the red tape formerly necessary to
withdraw acreage under tha Carey act
for reclamation and nas maae it pos
sible to withdraw lands now within a
few days, temporarily, or on approval
for one year, so that the state can e-o
ahead at once and cloaa negotiations
with tha eontsaetora for Its irrigation.
Heretofore It naa heen necessary to
wait for all tha cumbersome machinery
of the Interior department to start mov-.
lng and wait until aurveya and Investi
gations could be ; made before the atata
could o ahead with the project. ; Now
the eecretary of the Interior may upon
the application of tha proper state of
ficer, withdraw acreage temporarily
from settlement or entry pending the
investigation and the making of maps
and aurveya. At the end of the year
tha state must present its maps and
Plata and apply to have the segregation
permanently withdrawn. :rv'-"-
TJndfsr the act as It formerly existed
it was Impossible to ' announce new
reclamation projects for fear that set
tiers would rush In and take the land.
so slow did the governmental machin
ery move. Now ,,. the project will go
ahead and the governmental machinery
can move at Its leisure. ,; The lands will
be restored to entry If all the former
requirements before demanded are not
compiled with within a year, just as
formerly, so that the Interests of the
United States arc as fully protected
as before.

Rockford Saloons Mast Behave.
Kockford. nu May IS. After a "dry"
spell of 11 months the saloons of Rock
ford were permitted to reopen for busi
ness today by virtue of the new liquor
ordinance passed -by the city council
The city authorities in deciding to again
permit the sale of liquor have at ' the
same time taken steps to prevent the
city becoming as wer" as a sponge.
In other words, they intend to keep the
lid in readiness to be damped down
if the saloons do not conform to the
strict regulations prescribed for the con
duct of their business. The order has
gone forth that the saloonkeepers are
not to treat nor permit treating In their
establishments. Free lunch, musio and
frames of chance are also put under the
ban..'.." --v .

Pendleton. Or- May IJ. vReport comes
from Hermlnton that the thousands of
beautiful redslde trout which Inhabit
the waters of the reservoir oa the gov
ernment reclamation project out from
that town are dytna; of starvation. They
are being caught there by the score, but
the flesh Is soft and of a poor flavor.
When countless numbers of these
trout were found floundering In pools
on the project last fall It was thought
that the . work . of destruction by the
rkovernment '.engineers had been com
plete and that all that had found their
way Into the reservoir had died In the
irrigation ditches. However, It seems
that a few thousand were left In the
artificial lake, and are now swarming at
tha outlet of the feed canal In an effort
to get back to the river, '
As the water In the reservoir la now
within a few feet or the top. It will be
possible to erect a fish ladder by which
means they can escape. President O. I.
La Dow of the local anglers association
and Deputy - Fish Warden Turner are
taking measures to have such a ladder
constructed, r ' - " ,
