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'

D. H. WHY
Contractor and Builder
Cor. Railroad amd Willow Sts. Pendleton. Ore
Logansport, Ind. 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.

Berlin. The renewed efforts of the
Inhabitants of Alsaco-Lorralne to In

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

in regard to the constitutional ques

must decline to participate In a dis
cussion on constitutional questions.
