Bankrupt Turkey may fight the Russian empire If the war sought by the Young Tur key party Is brought about. Emboldened by the success of that party in forcing its reforms upon the "sick man of Europe," its leaders have now arranged a program which demands the extension of liberties to the Persian dependencies. They declare they will never be con tent with less than they have secured, for their own nation. As the czar has been quietly ex- j te ndlng his power into the rich Per- sian country such efforts upon the ' part of that party can only mean one i thing according to statesmen of the old school a war with Russia something which Turkey at this time Is in no condition to welcome.

ELECTRIC LIGHT Ai POWER II NEW ilGAli DISTRICT Echo, Hermlston and Umatilla are and In operation before next summer. lie aiMo najs ineir estimates snow nil soon to have electric lights, ac cording to an announcement made this morning by Attorney J. T. Hln kle. Mr. HInklo says that O. D. Teal, Col. H. O. Newport, Ross Newport and himself have formed a company for building ditches, and Installing electric power plants on the Umatilla river near Hermlston. Not only has the company been formed, but the right of way has been secured for two power ditches Immediately west of Hermlston and the actual worg of elltch construction has been started. The locations for the ditches were mare six months ago under the name of the U. & M. Development com pany and the reason that work was started Immediately upon the com pletion of the new organization was because the time limit for beginning work had almost expired. Hlnkle says the work on the ditch es will be rushed as rapidly as pos slhle and that they will be complet- they can develop fiOO horse power at these points. If this amount of power is devel oped It will be sufficient not only to furnish electric lights and power for the towns of Herniiston, Echo and Umatilla, but It will also make pos sible and practicable a small electric railway system, tapping the very cen ter of that rich Irrigation territory. Tho water rights have been se cured so os not to conflict with ony others. The water will be taken out of the Umatilla river just west of Hermlston and will be tho drainage from the different Irrigation systems. Tho locations are below the last of the spillways for the government pro ject will bo so situated that they will get the benefit of the drainage from the Fttrnlsh-Coe and Hlnkle projects. After It Is used, the water will again be dropped Into the Uma tilla river Just above the Irrlgon dam ed and the power plants established so' as not to Interfere with the Irri gon and Brownell ditches. Hlnkle says the estimates, which have been made by men of undoubted ability, show that water sufficient to develop the 500 horse power will be secured in tbis manner. The announcement will be balled with delight by residents of the three towns named for the need of electric lights has long been felt. The com pany will also be In a position to fur nish cheap light and power for the hundreds of farmers who will soon be ready for It in that vicinity. Tho Newport construction com pany Is attending to the work of Dulldlng the ditches, while HInklo and Teal are looking after the matters of the rlgh of way and franchises. It seems that this proposition has been in contemplation for several months, but nothing has been said and everything done so quietly that the work of building the ditches was actually started before the general public knew that it was even thought of. White Plains. N. Y., Sept. 21. The Thaw case will again be reopened if plans of the counsel of the now bank rupt murderer are successful. Coun sel today started the complicated case on a new tangent by filing briefs be fore Judge Mills of the supreme court asking n jury trial as to Thaw's san ity. District Attorney Jerome Is using every effort to block the reopening planned, holding that Thaw's mental condition has been thoroughly Inves tigated mi two different occasions ond that there Is no excuse for putting the state to the expense of a retrial. .1.

It was announc ed at democratic headquarters today that Governor Haskell had returned to Oklahoma, where he awaits Hearst who Is billed to arrive September 22, when Haskell will mount the platform and have it out with the editor. Eastern Oregon grain shippers and growers will be given their first har Ing before the Railroad commission, in the matter of the proposed re- uuetiou or ireignt rates on grain, at j Fee, who together with Slater, is Wasco, tomorrow. Attorney R. J. representing Peeler, declared there Slater of this city, representing John was no "graft" in connection with Feebler, also of this city, and who the movement, but that it was a le- Inade the complaint, will present the Ultimate move on the part of the case for the farmers.

The complaint filed with the com mission and which will be given a hearing tomorrow, was made In the name of John Feebler, a grain grow er of this county, who makes his home In Penillton. Petitions were first cir culated among the farmers of this and adjoining counties and contracts were signed whereby the signers agreed to pay certain sums In the event of the success of the movement. Those who were circulating the pe titions and securing the contracts I have been condemned by some news- securing the evidence and presenting it to the commission. Fee says that while the expense of the proposition will therefore, fall up on those farmers who have signed the contracts, that everyone shipping grain over the road will share In the benefits to be derived in the event that the commission makes the order for the reductions as prayed for. All farmers are therefore becoming in terested In the outcome of the move ment regardless of whether or not they are among the petitioners. The next heoruig will be In Pendle ton, the date being September 2S. The complaint to be taken up at that time however, was made by the commis sion upon Its own motion.
