Lewlston. Idaho, May 23. Fighting
har way up the boiling foaming waters
o the Snake river, the plucky little
boat Prospector, carrying State En
gineer Lewis of Oregon and other of
ficial and citizens of Oregon and Ida
ho, reached Granite Creek rapids, ap
proximately 120 miles south and 800
feet vertically above Lewlston, Idaho.
The trip was made for the purpose
of studying navigation and power pos
sibilities. This is the highest point ever
reached by any power boat ascending
Hnake river.
It is 14 miles above Rush creek
rapids, where a sheer drop of six feet
occurs at low water. All passengers
were put ashore at the foot of these
rapids and the boat lined over with
the assistance of a 100 foot ropa at
tached to a rock above the rapids.
At Granite Creek rapids a drop of nine
feet In a distance of 100 feet was en
countered, with large and dangerous

too swift to ascend unaided. After
studying the situation for several hours
Captain MacFarlane decided it was
unsafe to attempt lining over without
stronger equipment.
If this obstruction could have been
overcome it Is believed that the trip
to upper Snake river valley could have
teen accomplished as planned.
With a six foot higher stage it is
said that this rapid will drown out
sufficient to permit ascending without
great danger.
"Korie" Man Along,
Captain 8. V. Wlnslow of the United
states steamer bmatilla with his mov
ing picture camera accompanied the
prospector in the Tllllcum, a high
power motor boat 40 feet long. Al
though of a greater speed than the!
Prospector It could not safely cross
Rush Creek rapids because of rough
water. At the foot of the rapids,
where camp for the evening was made,
four sturgeon, were caught, the largest
measuring eight feet from tip to tip
and weighing 225 pounds. In running
the rapids on the return, the Pros
pector rolled and pitohed as if on the
ocean, and many of the passengers
were drenched by the water and spray
which came aboard in considerable
quantities.
The Tlllietim was thrown by a sud
den boll in the water onto a submerged
rock In descending Somers Creek rap
Ids. The crash was heard above the
roar of the water by those on board
the Prospector, which had Just tied
, up for dinner below the rapids.
When Captain Wlnslow was seen
to buckle on bis life preserver, it was
apparent that something was wrong,
and all hands prepared for the rescue.
Wlnslow Zs Hurt.
Notwithstanding the rapidly rising
water, captain winsiow' succeeded in
starting his engine and with the fly
wheel throwing a great circle of spray
he rushed at full speed to the side of
the Prospector, where in the excite
ment of making fast the sinking boat.
he was struck in the mouth with a
pike pole, knocking out several teeth.
On beaching the boat, a bent pro
peller phaft was found, in addition to

Changed When Panama Established.
The change of status effected by
the establishment of the republic of
Panama was presented by Senator
Chamberlain, who on this toplo said,
in part:
"There is another reason which
might be urged In favor of the Pa
nama Canal act of 1912. At the time
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty was execu
ted, as I have stated, the relations of
the signatory powers with respect to
the territory through which the
Panama Canal has been constructed
was practically the Lame as it was
when the Clayton-Bulwer treaty was
executed. It had reference therefore
to the construction of a canal through
foreign territory. At the" time the
construction of the canal was entered
upon, however, the relation of the par
ties had entirely changed, for before
the construction of the canal com
menced the Independence of Panama
had been recognized as a separate and
independent Republic, and on the 25th
day of May, 1904, the United States
entered into a treaty with this Re
public, under the terms of ' which,
there was granted to the United
States a strip of territory 10 miles
wide and other valuable rights to be
used in connection with the construc
tion of the canal; and not only did
tne tine pass, nut 1 sovereignty was
granted, for certain purposes, over the
cities at the terminal thereof; m that
the relations of the parties as well as
the laws of the proposed canal had
entirely changed. Instead of canal
construction through foreign lerritory
tne worK was to be done on American
soil. It was to be done over territory
that was absolutely the property of
the United States and under its
sovereignty and jurisdiction. It is a
well-settled principle of international
law that where there has been a
change In the relation of the parties
to a treaty is to that extent abrogated
and annulled. The maxim "Conventio
omnls intelligltur rebus stantibus" is
held to apply to all cases in which the
reason for a treaty has failed, or there
has been such a change of circum
stances as to make its performance
Impracticable except at an unreasona
ble sacrifice."

was Interested to learn of the restora

land in the Deschutes and Paulina

figures the satisfaction felt over the

by the discovery that most of the larfl

Appeals were at once sent to the
Oregon senators and representatives to
Kee what could be done to give the pub
lic fuller benefit under the withdraw

sion suggested an interval of 30 days
within which actual settlers could tak
up the lands, so as to prevent specula

lands. Assisstant Commissioner of the
General Land Office C. M. Bruce has
informed Senator Chamberlain that

Bruce wrote as follows:
"My dear Senator It has been and

in the notices of such restoration a
period of 30 days between the dates
