to enmnh'tc the branch to Joseph.
The fact the line Is lo be carried

From reports sent out from Wash
ington It is npparent that thero Is lit
tle hope of on agreemont being reach
ed between the reclamation depart
ment and the French company, which
owns tho Military road land In Mal
heur county. Should such prove to
be true, and consequently that pro
ject abandoned, tho question arises as
to what effect such action would have
on the Umatilla projects and tho
other scheme In Oregon.
This morning J. T. Whistler, In
charge of tho work In this district,
was seen nnd questioned In regard to
this point, and also In regard to the
prospects for the Malheur project.
Ho stated that ho had so far received
no Information In regard to tho latter
aside from what was In the press
dispatches a few days ago. and could
throw np light on the matter. In re
gard to tho work In this county the
hold-up of the Malheur enterprise
will have llttlo effoct, according to his
view.

says: "Peace on the Japanese terms

I ! F.D ANTS MAKE TROUBLE.
Tlirou the Boulder Fire Alarm System
Out of CoininLsslon.
Boulder. Col., July 29. For some
time the Boulder fire alarm system
has not been working satisfactorily
and yesterday it would not work at
all. At first It was believed the bat
teries at the fire station were at fault
and they were thoroughly overhauled,
but this did not remedy matters. Then
sV-lemntlc search was Instituted,
and nfter much trouble the difficulty
was located In a street box.
Several red ants had carried sand
into the box, getting access to the In
side by means of the keyhole. They
had taken In enough sand to disable
the entire system and it was impos
sible to send in an alarm. When the
sand was removed the system worked
perfectly.

John Day scheme," said he, "and It
will be Impossible to take that plan
up at present because of insufficient
means."
Consequently, it is seemingly very
doubtful if this county will benefit In
any manner by the failure of tho Mal
heur project, though at ono time It
was sold that if that sehomo was not
carried out at once the one here would
bo undertaken. However, Mr. Whist
ler states that some project may be
worked out here which will not Inter
fere with the John Day scheme should
the hitter bo taken up at a later tlmo.
Two crews of tho reclamation men
are now In tho Owyhee country, work
ing on surveys and securing data
there. As to what will bo dono with
the force after tho summer, should
tho Malheur projoct be abandoned, Is
not known. While there are a num
ber of smaller schemes in this district
aside from the Malheur and Umatilla
projects, it Is said there is not enough
Information as to water supply for
any of thorn to be carried out at pres
ent. Consequently, it would seem
from appearances that there Is little
hope for any immediate work In this
district.
in
Walla Walla, July 29. Damage to
crops In Eastern Washington by the
hot wave of last week are estimated
at 2,000,000 bushels. This Is tho es
timate of Deputy Grain Inspector
King at Tncoma after he had received
reports from nearly every county on
the east side of the mountains.
Letters received by Acting Inspector
King from Columbia, Whitman and
Garfield counties, show that the crop
In those sections is In much better
condition than was expected. In
some of the fields the spring wheat
was not damaged at all and very few
cases are reported where the damage
was excessive.
Fall wheat Is In prime condition.
The heat had very little effect on it,
as tho grain was too far advanced.
Weight tests Indicate that the crop
will run from 58 to 62 pounds.
Although the shortage will not be
more than 6 per cent on the total
crop, It will amount to about 2,000,000
bushels. Since the last reports were
received, tho total crop Is estimated
at approximately 35,000,000 bushels.
Earlier in the season the estimate was
from 37,000,000 to 40,000,000 bushels.
850-MILE PIPE LINE.
Will Curry OH From Kansas to the
Gulf of Mexico.
Independence, Kan., July 29. It Is
announced negotiations have been
completed In Pittsburg by the Melon
brothers, the Cudahys and the Shelt
Transportation company for the fi
nancing of the proposed pipe line to
the Gulf of Mexico with the Union
Trust company of that city. The pipe
line will extend from Chanute to Port
Arthur, a distance of 650 miles, and
will cost about $6,000,000.
The company holds options on 10,
000 barrels production, and these ex
pire next week. The plan Is to close
the deal by August 1. Kansas pro
ducers are now in Pittsburg for the
purpose. The Melons have a 12,000
barrel refinery at Port Arthur.
O. R. & X. FIGHTS THE
WALLOWA VALLEY ROAD.
The IndeiH'iident Line Hus Secured a
Right of Way Chance for Interest
ing Complications Under the Ore
gon I-aws Tlio Joseph Herald Be
lieves Uie IndeiH'iident Line Is the
Only IIoie of Wallowa County for
a Completed Railwuy Line to the
River Northward.
The Wallowa Valley Railway com
pany, which had a crew grading, was
served with an injunction by the O.
R. & N. last Monday and work had to
cease, although the engineers are still
engaged In surveying, says the Joseph
Herald. The Independent line has
recured a right of way which consists
of arranging a bond with the under
standing that if a line was construct
ed through here in two years, the
owners of the land were to be paid
from $15 to $25 an acre. According
to the Oregon laws governing right of;
nay. one company can demand track
age from another In a canyon where I
there is not room for two. so there
may be some legal complications If
the O. R. & N. Is pressed.
If the O. R. & N. succeeds In block
ing the Independent line, the people
of Wallowa county. In our opinion,
will have to haul their produce to the
mouth of the river In order to ship by
rail. No doubt the O. R. N. will
continue down the Grand Ronde. con
necting Huntington nnd Lewiston by
this route Instead of down the Snake
as was formerly intended. The build
ing of this line would give a direct
route and 'good grade which would
emihle the O. R. & N. to compete with
water transportation.
If the people of Wallowa valley
wont transportation to the mouth of I
the river, an electric line In our opln-!
Inn will be our only hope. Of course.
It Is possible but not probable, that
both lines may come Into the valley.
In that event we would have good
service nnd cheap transportation.
DAMAGE TO GRAIN IS SLIGHT.
I4ite Sown Wlient Will Grade N'o. 1 In
Horse Heaven District.
Pressor, July 29. Dispatches to
dally papers from North Yakima
about dnmage to the wheat In Horse
Heaven by the hot winds of the past
week are Incorrect. Your correspon
dent has made careful Inquiry of the
wheat growers In both Horse Heaven
and Rattlesnake nnd they report that
the damage Is very slight. Nothing is
damaged except the late sown spring
wheat, which Is only about three per
cent of the entire Horse Heaven and
Rattlesnake crop.
The early sown spring wheat and
the winter whent were too far advanc
ed when the hot winds came to be
affected. The crop in this vicinity
will he larger this year than last,
which was considered the best crop
that has been grown for years.

PREPARING FOR STRIKE.
Believed It Is Due in Anthracite Disq
uiet April 1 Next.
Pittsburg, July 2!. That war will
be declared between the United Mine
Workers of America and the anthra
cite coal operators at the expiration
mi April 1 next of the present three
year working agreement, Is feared by
the former and at least anticipated
by the operators. John Mitchell'!
speeches In his pro-union campaign
In the coal region grow more fervid
and pointed, and are having at least
one desired result that of winning
back to the mine workers' organiza
tion the hundreds who dropped out
after the declaration of three years'
peace. His more recent addresses
have taken the form of flat warnings
to the tollers that their welfare after
April 1 may depend altogether upon
their preparation at this time.
It has been general knowledge for
at least two months past that the op
erators have been storing Immense
quantities of coal. This fact Is the
key note of President Mitchell's ad
dresses. He and other lenders see
In this accumulation of large quanti
ties of coal, preparations for n lonr
siege. If a struggle be precipitated at
the next conference In March, be
tween the miners nnd the operators.
The fact that the operators are stor
ing such immense quantities of the
smaller sizes ot anthracite is held by
President Mitchell to Indicate their
realization that a sympathy strike on .
the part of the bituminous men would
prevent another soft-coal relief such
as was afforded In 1902, when no
preparation had biien made against
the Invasion of the hard coal market
by tho bituminous operators.
