ed. NEW IRRIGATION
PLAN CONSIDERED
A new projject for the reclaiming
of farm lands In Umatilla county was
presented to tho investigating board
at Hermlston yesterday, according to
Horace Walker, who was In attend
ance at the meeting. Tho "project Is
similar to the Sturgis Ditch under
taking and Is backed by Messrs Hos
kins, Hardin, Copplnger et at., who
were among the proponents of the
reviving of the' Sturgis project. The
new plan proposes to divert water
from the Umatilla at Barnhart, car
ry It along the mountain by means
of a tunnel and spread It over 62,000
acres in the vicinity of Prospect
Farm. In proposing such a plan to
the board yesterday, Mr. Walker
states that the promoters expressed
their belief that the project could be
put through at the cost of $20 an
acre. The purpose of the men, it Is
said, is to use only enough of the
flood waters to spread about threo
lnchos of water over the land, which
with the nine inches secured by rain
fall, would be sufficient to produce
big crops. The board was asked to
hold up its decision fqr three months
In order to Investigate this new pro
position more thoroughly. .

Dcspcrato Uattlc With Death Won
By Rescue Squad and Endangered
Men Restored to Arms of Frenzied
Wives and Families.
Amador City, Calif., Feb. 8 Im
prisoned in the bowe'.s of the earth,
sixty-two miners were rescued at noon
today from the two hundred foot lev
el of the Bunker Hill mine, where for
twenty-four hours they were entomb-
ed, while a large force of rescuers
worked desperately to reach them by
clearing away a huge mass of debris
which was piled up yesterday after
noon by a landslide which filled the
entrance to the level for a distance
of sixty feet.
None of the men are be'ieved to
have been killed or injured and they
were kept alive by food that was te
diously sent down to them through
tho pump pipe.
Communication was kept up with
them over a telephone and as far as
they are able to ascertain no deaths
have resulted from the slide.
Tho cave-in was caused yesterday
when a cable parted, . allowing a
heavy load of rock to shoot down the
Incline to the mouth of the tunnel,
completely smothering the shaft by
crushing the heavy timbers.
When the men emerged from their
enforced captivity they appeared lit
tle the worso for their experiences.
Most of them were Italians or Aus-
tiinns und they took the situation
cooly, saying that they slept well last
night and thoroughly enjoyed the food
that was pent to them through the
pumps.
All last night and 'today, the wives
children and other relatives of the
entombed men hovered about the
mine, fearful lest the efforts to reach
the prisoners would fail and many
emotional scenes were enacted as the
begrimed men were again reunited
with their families after twenty-four
hours of tense separation.

QUESTION AS TO WW
, PAVING NOW HAS
Who will pay for the improvement
of that half of East Court street
which abuts on the O. W. R. & N.
company's right of way. If the city
decides to cooperate with the county
court In Improving the road along
Wild Horse creek Jnto tho elty Will
the. railroad company be required to
defray tho expenses; will they be
charged up against the city property
owners on tho opposite side of the
street or will the city have to p; for
the work These are questions which
came up before the city council last
night when the matter of concurring
with the county, officials In the pro
posed cacadam road camo up. In
tho opinion of City Attorney Carter
the city will have to pay for one-half
of the work along streets abutting
railroad right of way unless the rail
road company voluntarily offers to
assume the expense. He explained
that the railroad company does not
own the soil whereon Its tracks are"
laid but owns a right to use It for
railroad purposes and ls not there
fore legally liable to expenses charg
ed up against it. Again, he declared
his belief that the property owners
on the other side of the Btreet cannot
be held for the cost of street im
provements beyond the center line of
the street, which would leave the ex
penses to bo defrayed by the city.

President Madero's telegram
said
in part:
"After thirty-five years of oppres

solutely free, but In certain cases It
has overstepped the limits of pru
dency. It will soon change its atti
tude, however, as the public will soon
realize its exaggeration and its ap
peals to passion, it will then lose con
fidence in the press. But with the
people who are with me, I am sure
that we will realize our plans soon."
President Madero concluded his
message, by saying that the trouble
in the state of Chiuahua was merely
a mutiny of undisciplined tr,oops,
without a political goal and that he
expects to restore tranquility within
