TEN MEN PUDDLE
FURNISH DITCH
WATER HAS REACHED THE
AREA TO BE RECLAIMED.
Not Muiii of tho Land Voder the Fur
nish Ditch Will He Sown to Alfalfa,
the Intention llclug to Sell it to
lloniniuckiTs for Intensified Farm
luu llt1i Is Ample and lirst-ciuss
Work.
To convert the mid land under tho
Furnish ditch Into a garden spot Is
the dream of W. J. Furnish. Between
300 and 400 acres of arid land under
this ditch will be plowed out during
the coming winter und prepared for
garden land for next spring planting.
The work of puddling the canal Is
progressing rapidly a force of 10 men
being employed now. It Is the Inten
tion of Mr. Furnish to make the ca
nal secure before turning water on the
land and In doing this the work 1111
be completed gradually but substan
tially so when the water Is turned Into
the ditch, there will be no doubt as to
Its capacity or strength,
It Is not Mr. Furnlsh's Intention to
devote any considerable part of the
land to alfalfa, as he believes It will
be more attractive to homeseekers If
It Is devoted to small fruits, potatoes,
vegetables and orchards, and to this
end he will work In the reclamation
of the tract under his canal.
The water has already reached a
portion of the tract to ba reclaimed,
but the ditch will have to be puddled
for a considerable distance yet In or
der to cover the entire tract. The
work of completing the ditch was
greatly delayed by the floods last May
which washed out the headgate and
considerable of the ditch In places.
The repairs required the services of
the entire working force for some
time, and the work of puddling was
suspended, for a time.
However, the entire canal Is now In
excellent condition and considering
the quality of ground through which
much of It has been built, It Is pro
nounced by practical Irrigation engi
neers to be one of the best and most
substantial canals In the northwest.

attorneys who have attend

court In this city during the week,
have expressed entire satisfaction
with the movement to secure a state
building In this city as a supreme
court building to contain court rooms,
a library and other needed features
of a public building.
Baker City and La Orande attor
neys gave Pendleton attorneys the as
surance that they would co-operate In
securing such a building for this city,
and It Is probable that this matter
will be brought definitely before the
next session of the legislature.

It is thought that If a state supreme
court building Is erected here, that
It will then be possible to secure a
term of the federal court here at least
twice each year to dispose of eastern

Indianapolis, Nov. 9. Rev. William
Hint-haw wos given a parole hearing
before the governor today, charged
with wrongful conduct with Mrs.
George Freeman. He mamtalned his
innocence, but Sheriff-elect Freeman
of Wabash county says he can prove
his wife and Hlnshaw were together at
a hotel at Shirley. Hlnshaw admits
he took Mrs. Freeman driving, and
that she spent the night in his moth
er's house.
The governor decided that Hlnshaw
Is guilty and must be returned to the
penitentiary for life to serve out the
uxoricide sentence.
The Murder of Mrs. ninshnw.
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 9. Wil
liam E. Hlnshaw, principal In the cel
ebrated murder case at Danville, 18
miles west of Indianapolis, In which
he was convicted of uxoricide, was
rearrested today upon order of Gov
ernor Hanley. Hlnshaw was out on
parole.
Hlnshaw was pastor of a church in
the village. On January 10, 1905, his
wife was found dying on the door
step of her home. Hlnshaw was
found lying In the yard suffering with
knife wounds across his breast. His
wife was shot through the head.
The preacher was convicted on cir
cumstantial evidence. Gossips said
he wanted to marry another woman,
and no testimony was offered to off
set this. Hlnshaw claimed robbers
made the wounds. Public opinion
was against him and he was convicted
10 months after the crime and sen
tenced for life. He served a few
weeks and was paroled. He always
protested his innocence. Hlnshaw
was rearrested on a charge of break
ing up a home by his attentions to
the wife of a nelKhbor while out on
parole. Hlnshaw Is a brother of Con
gressman Hlnshaw of Nebraska.
Hlnshaw Made Admissions.
When Hlnshaw took the stand he
admitted he was guilty of Intimacy
with Mrs. Freeman, and nil the
charges preferred by Freeman. The
governor Immediately revoked the
parole nnd ordered him returned' to
prison to resume his life sentence.
COURT
great saving In fees and mileage,
which are now paid out In taking
criminals from 230 to 400 miles from
eastern Oregon counties to Portland.
Leading attorneys who have ex
pressed themselves on this subject,
do not believe that the business In the
federal court at the present time
would warrant a division of the dis
trict, but they do believe that a term
should be held In eastern Oregon at
least twice each year for the sake of
economy.
This movement will be started If a
supreme court building can be se
cured for this place, which It Is be
lieved can be done, owing to the In
convenience of holding court here un
der present conditions.
The matter will be put Into shape
and it Is hoped that sufficient strength
can be brought to bear upon the leg
islature to secure an appropriation
for the state building here.

the Little Walla Walla and Tumalum
rivers, nnd is the most Important and
far-reaching irlgation case In the his
tory of the state.
The case was set for hearing at Mil
ton by Judge Bean for purposes of
economy tnd convenience, as most of
the furmeis Interested can stay at
home while attending the hearing at
Milton, while if it were heard In Pen
dleton It would be necessary for many
of them to remain in the city during
almost the entire month.

HARRIMAN LINES

Interstate Commerce Com
mission Will Move Upon
the Combination.
REVENGE FOR FISH FROM
AN UNEXPECTED SOURCE.
Investigation Will Include the O. R.
& N. Relations With the Other Har
rlmnii Lines, nnd the Illinois Cen
tral Will Be Under Inspection
Situation Is Closely Analogous to
That of the Famous Northern Se
curities Problem of Two Years Ago.
Washington, Nov. 9. (Special.)
Fish's removal from the presidency of
the Illinois Central railroad Is tq be
avenged by the government In a way
he could hardly anticipate. As a re
sult, the action of Harrlman In ex
tending his control over this line tha
interstate commerce commission has
taken up for consideration the ques
tion of Investigating all Harrlman'l
railroad enterprises. It has been de
cided to institute an investigation.
This investigation will be of as much
Importance as was that which tha
commission made into the combina
tion of the Northern Pacific and tha
Great Northern, which, as the North
ern Securities company, was dissolve
ed by order of the supreme court un
der the anti-trust law.
In one way the action of Harrlman
resembles that of Morgan and Hill
In allying the Northern Pacific with
the Great Northern. He controls ths
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Ore
gon P.alhoaJ & Navigation Co. and
Shott Line, which' should be compet
ing roads In the Judgment of th
comm'.sslcn. And now he has the Ill
inois Central and Baltimore & Ohio
which makes him a big factor determ
ining transcontinental rates.
Investigation of tho Harrimsn In
terests will be taken under ths
amendment to the Interstate com
merce act. which was-passed by con
gress In 1S91.
So far as the commission has con
sldered tho matter, it has been de
termined the inquiry will be partlcu"
larly Into the relations' of the O. R
& N., Short Line, Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific. The Illinois Cen
tral and Baltimore & Ohio will come
In only Incidentally, In order to estab
lish to the ful! extent Iiarrlman's op
erations. Unquestionably Fish will be called
to state what he knows, and it Is ex
pected will furnish information which
will be of the greatest value to th
commission In determining whether
there has been violation of the law.
