The result will be that the desert wastes of the I'matllla basin and like coun try adjoining will be transformed Into a fruitful garden. These lands in their primitive state were valued for grazing purposes at $1.25 per acre, and It was questionable wheth er the stockman could realize that value out of them. Under Irrigation, in accordance with up-to-date, prac tical and scientific methods of culti vation and marketing of products. they will sustain a valuation of $209 to Jiooo per acre. It Is but a simple mathematical problem to determine what the Increase of property values would be to I'matilla and Morrow counties nd their peeple. Ten years ago this territory under consideration contained a population not to exceed 500 souls Under the methods of development now being worked out, with the aid of the ex periment station, It Is fair to presume within ITi years It will contain a pop ulation oT 150,000 people.

How Problems Are Solved. These problems have In a way been worked out in a plodding .disultory fashion, but while a few have suc ceeded, hundreds have failed. There is a remedy, a very simple, practical remedy, one th;.t will put every man jpon an equal footing with the other, that is. as n-ar equal as the differ ences in men s intelligence will per mit. The remedy Is nn exuerlmeni tation In the reclaimed district, to be established, equipped and operated by the federal government and the state at Chin, a Chinese cook who Is an. pected of f.lsonIng every student In the Stanford Inn last night. Several students are 1n serious conditions as the result of mating pastry which Is believed to have been poisoned by the discharged Chinaman.

The steamer Humbolt, which sailed last night for southeastern Alaskan points, ran ashore this morning In a dense fog in tne Active pass several miles north of Victoria. The 38 passengers have been rescued and taken ashore. The extent of the damage is not known, and probably will not be until the re turn of the salvage boats which have Just left Seattle. The Humbolt be longed to the Pacific Steamship com pany and was commanded by Captain Bagham. Chicago. Sept. 30 Speaker Joseph O. Cannon will be bitterly condemn ed in resolutions to be presented at the Rock River conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, which begins Its sixty-ninth annual session today with Bishop T. B.

The committee on temperance and prohibition, It Is stated, is In charge of the anti-Cannon resolutions. The Rock River conference Is composed of 350 ministerial members, represent ing a lay membership of 62.000.
