OFFICIALS CATCH ILLINOIS TOWN STEALING WATEH EASTERNERS INVEST IN STANF1ELD LAND XOHTII DAKOTA PEOPLE SATISFIED WITH OUTLOOK Party of lloincuwkers Brought Out ami All Purolinse Land and Will Sett lu t hereon. Chicago. Chicago officials have been aroused by the discovery that the village of Dolton has been stealing water from Chicago by the thousands of gallons, and plans have been laid for .suit against the village officials to recover damages to the amount of the value of the water as soon as an estimate of the systematic thefts can be made. Commissioner of Public Works Mul laney heard of the novel means by which Dolton had been procuring Its water supply, for the first time, when several of his assistants reported to him after an Investigation. The fact that the southern and southwestern parts of Chicago are facing a water famine has added to the Indignant feeling with which Chi cago, officials look on the untoward iacts of the nearby village. "They connected a two Inch pipe with one of the city mains without as much as by your leave." Mr. Mul lpney said. Thous'lit IMwovery an Impossibility. "How did they happen to connect their pipes with the city's mains?" Mayor Busse inquired, evincing deep interest. "I suppose they took a chance that, being far out In the country, no one would ever discover It," Mr. Mullaney answered. "They have found It very profitable to depend on the city's fur nishing them free water, for they shut down their own waterworks en tirely." "How long has this been going on?" Mayor Busse asked. "We have not learned yet, but are going to try to. If we can't find out we shall have the city engineer make an estimate and then start suit." The discovery of the village's un lawful enterprise was made by an In si ector of the bureau of water, who visited Dalton one day. Recently Refused Water Supply. "Pretty good water you get from ycur well out here," he said to one of the residents. "That ln't well water," the other replied. "That's city water. We get it from Chicago." The Inspector reported to his chief Thomas Byrnes, and the two made a search that ended In the finding of the connecting pipe. When the facts were reported to Mr. Mullaney he Is sued Instructions for the shutting off of the supply. Several months ago officials of the village made application to the city for a supply of water, In accordance with the provisions of the sanitary district act. The request was referred to the finance committee where It was plac ed on file because of the shortage of water. James F. Kyle and Frank Sloan, of ficials of the big land company of Stanfield, Eastern .Oregon's new town bidding for favor in the Umatilla ir rigation district, ' spent yesterday In this city, having1 come down with a number of new settlers who recently reached Stanfield from North Dako ta with a view of locating In Eastern Oregon, says the Portland Telegram. The company of North Dakota people Is composed of men of means, and so well were these men satisfied with the outlook In Eastern Oregon that every member of the party, after look, ing over the project, unhesitatingly Invested his money In the tracts of fered, and nil of them will settle on the lands purehnsed and make their homes In Oregon. The new city of Stanfield Is located on the O. R. & KVfrallroad east of Umatilla Junction, where the new cut off on the road, cutting across the big bend at Umatilla Junction and which cutoff running direct from Stan field to Coyote, a few miles west of Itrlgon, will reduce the mileage and give a more direct route to the East- tern Oregon road of the Harriman system by a considerable. This cut off will cut out Umatilla Junction on the main line and leave the present division point only as a station on the Spokane-Portland line. it will probably. It is thought, have the ef fect of making Stanfield a division point on the O. R. & N. Co.'s lines. To this irrigation project settlers from the Upper Missouri Valley and the West generally have been coming so fast that their settlement Is at tracting the attention of he entire West, and the promoters say that the district promises to be one of the most thickly settled In Oregon In a few years, while the fruit district of that valley Is showing up so well that It will attract the most expert fruit growers of the country. The lands enVbraced In the project were, a few years ago, looked upon as being good only for sheep pasture and dry farming, but with scientific Irrigation It Is found to be richer than the most sanguine had ever dreamed, and it Is asserted promises to be one of Oregon's most favored sections. The finest fruits in the state are be ing produced here, and Umatilla coun ty farmers point with pride to the products of the Stanfield district. With the wealth and energy brought to Stanfield by the people coming from the rigid climate of North Dakota and neighboring states, that section promises to be one of the best In Ore' gon. aillli wisely directed, will cause her to give to her little ones only the most wholesome and beneficial remedies and only when actually needed, and the well-informed mother uses only the pleasant and pontic laxative rem edy Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna when a laxative is required, as it is wholly free from all objec tionable substances.

That the frantic fries of a father left behind by a train hearing Ills sick and almost dy ing son are more powerful than bar rels of money, was demonstrated here In a recent Incident on the Pennsyl vania lines. According to the story, which has Just leaked out In Logansport rail road circles, Mr. P. Goodman, St. Joe, Mo., was on train No. 20 on the Pennsylvania lines from Chicago to New York. He had with him a very sick son, about five years of age, whom Tie was taking to New Tork for the purpose of consulting a special ist. At Logansport, Mr. Goodman left the train and went a short distance from the depot to purchase some fruit for the boy, who was left lying In a berth In a sleeping cor. The Penn sylvania train No. 20 makes but a short stop at Logansport, and as the father unfortunately went too far, the train left without him. When he re turned to the station and found that the train bearing his sick and perhaps dying son had gone, Mr. Goodman was aimnst frantic. He told his sad story to the depot master who Immediately got in touch with the division super intendent of the Pennsylvania lines. A special tngine and coach Were pressed Into service and an order Is sued tij h"ld No. 20 train nt Hunker Hill, n station 16 mites beyond Lo gansport. The anxious fnther was rushed over the sixteen mile stretch of track at the rate of a mile, a minute. The en tire proceeding was carried through with such speed that the fast through train was delayed but a trifle more than 25 minutes. The engine and coach were provided without extra cost to Mr. Goodman. Work Will Soon Rojrln on New Mcx-loo-Texas Reclamation Project. Washington. Preliminary work on the Rio Grande. Now Mexico-Texas reclamation project, soon will be un der v.t.:", propnr'ng the p'tc for actual construction work on the great Ea gle dam, scheduled to be started In July, 1911. This project will provide for the reclamation of ISO, 000 acres of land lying In New Mexico. Texas and Old Mexico. The entire cost of the work Is estimated at approximate ly $9,000,000. The Eagle dam. the most Important engineering feature of the project, when completed, probably will be the most remarkable structure of Its kind In the world. It will eclipse in size, the recently completed Roose velt dam In Arizona. The capacity of the reservoir, created by It, will be almost double that of the famous Arizona storage plant. The earliest rights to the use of wa ter on the Rio Grande were Mexico's, the Inhabitants of that country hav ing cultivated for hundreds of years extensive areas In the valley by Irri gation. For many years there was an International as well as an Interstate controversy over the right to the wa ters of the river whlcn at one time threatened to affect the amicable re lations of the two countries. By treaty ratified by both nations in 1907 an adjustment of the differ ences was affected. The United Ptates agreed that a qu'antlty of water sufficient to supply the lands former ly Irrigated in Mexico should be per mitted to pass the boundary, in re turn for which Mexico cancelled the claims, which she had been present ing for years on account of the loss of valuable property. Congress appropriated $1,000,000 from the treasury' to cover the cost of storage for Mexico, the remaining cost of the project to be paid from the reclamation fund and reimbursed by the landowners In New Mexico and Texas after the completion of the work. Shortly after congress ratified the treaty with Mexico the attention of homeseekers was turned to this val ley and as a result nearly all of the public lands embraced In the project have been taken up. forward It to the Imperial chancellor. Directly this declaration was mad the members of the government left the house In a body, followed by Iron ical cries from the remaining depu ties of "Adieu!" and "Au revolr!" The spokesmen of the parties then Intro duced their motions and demanded that the Inhabitants of Alsaco-Lor- raine should be treated as other Ger mans, and that they should be per mitted to elect their deputies by vir tue of universal suffrage. One dep uty spoke In favor of turning Alsace Lorraine Into a republic, and the rep resentatives of all the parties deplor ed the action of the members of the government. After much animated discussion all the motions were accepted. IM PERIAI, LEGISLATORS WALK OCT PARLIAMENT Berlin. The renewed efforts of the Inhabitants of Alsaco-Lorralne to In duce the . Imperial government to grant them a constitution led to an exciting scene In the local parliament at Strassburg. The business before the. house was the question whether three motions, signed by the demo cratic, Lorraine and Centra parties, praying tho government to take Into consideration the opinion of the house in regard to the constitutional ques tion, should be Introduced. The gov ernment announced, through the un der secretary of state that It must re gard the motions as an attempt to In terfere with Imperial legislation, and must decline to participate In a dis cussion on constitutional questions. Should a resolution bo accepted on the subject of the reform of the fran chise, the government promised to SLAPS SWEETHEART ENDS HIS LIFE IN MACHINERY Lisbon.
