filNE MEN SWEAR FALSELY TO AID
Prospective Irrigation Scheme on Kla
math Lands Would Have Been
Made to Yield Profit.
Salem, Feb. 4.-8. A. D. Puter, con
victed of conspiracy to defraud the gov-
eminent in timber land cases, and
Tinder indictment on further charges,
was caught today in an attempt to se
cure title to 3,200 acres of state school
land in violation of law, and the state
land board has $2,000 of his good
money and evidence sufficient to show
the fraudulent nature of the transac-tion.
Basil Wagner, of this city, procured
the men to make the applications for
the land. As each filed his application
he told Clerk Brown that Wagner
would call for the certificate of sale.
Applications to purchase school land
near Klamath t alls were hied by nine
residents of Salem, who swore that they
wanted the land for their own use and
benefit, and had made no contract, ex
press or implied, to convey the land to
any other person. No certificates of
sale were issued, but ' Clerk G. G.
Brown called the attention of the state
land board to the suspicious applica
tions, and an investigation resulted.
One oi the applicants was taken be
fore the governor, where he was closely
cross-questioned, until he admitted that
he had made the application at the in
stance of an agent of Puter, and made
the initial payment with a bank draft
furnished by Puter.
Governor Chamberlain immediately
called a special meeting of the state
land board to consider the matter, and
Puter appeared before the board. He
asked leave to withdraw the applica
tions and receive his drafts, but the
land board refused to recognize his
right to have the money returned.
The drafts will be returned only to
the persons who deposited them, and
when these men appear, they will be
brought up on the carpet and ques
tioned as to the truth of their affidavits
Whether the $2,000 will eventually be
returned or will be held by the board
as forfeited remains to be determined
President's Approval Alone Needed to
Execution of Irrigation Project.
Washington, Feb. 6. The Klamath
irrigation bill now lacks only the sig
nature of the president to make it a
law. The senate has accepted the
house amendments, which are entirely
satisfactory to the reclamation service.
As finally enacted the bill reads:
That the secretary of the Interior is
hereby authorized, in carrying out any
irrigation project that may be under
taken by him under the terms and con
ditions of the national reclamation act
and which may involve the changing of
the levels of Lower or Little Klamath
lake, Tule or Ehet lake and Goose lake,
or any river or other body of water
connected therewith, in Oregon and
California, to raise or lower the level
of said lakes, as may be necessary, and
to dispose of any lands which may
come into the possession of the United
States as the result thereof by cession
of any state or otherwise, under the
terms and conditions of the national
reclamation act.
Had it not been for Senator Fulton's
insistence. Chairman Mondell, of the
house irrigation committee, would not
have withdrawn his objection to this
bill and it would not have passed.

Dis-
Affecting Klamath Irrigation
trict Is a Law.
Sacramento, Cal., Feb. 6. Two sen
ate bills became laws today upon being
signed by the governor. One was the
Coggins bill, permitting the lowering of
the water levels of certain lakes in the
northern part of the state in furtherance
of irrigation and reclamation work of
the reclamation service of the United
States. A similar bill has recently
been enacted by the Oregon legislature,
and important legislation by congress
bearing on the work in question has
been passed by both houses and is
ready for the president's signature
Under the authorization now given
by the California and Oregon, legisla
tures, it is understood that $4,000,000
will be expended by the federal govern
ment on reclamation of the Klamath
district, in Northern California and
Southern Oregon, and that 200,000
acres in California and 100,000 in Ore
gon will be placed under irrigation.
The other bill Bigned by the govern-
or is the bill appropriating $ 0,000
for a California exhibit at the Lewis
and Clark exposition. The last legis
lature appropriated $25,000, so that
$95,000 is now made available for the
exhibit.
Way Is Being Cleared for the Klamath
Irrigation Project.
Washington, Feb. 4. The house has
assed the bill recently reported by
the irrigation ' committee authorizing
the secretary of the interior m carrying
out any irrrigation project undertaken
under the national reclamation to raise
or lower the levels of Little Klamath
Tulle, and Goose lakes, or such other
river or other body of water connected
therewith as may be necessary and to
disnose of anv lands which mav come
into possession of the United States as
a result thereof by cession from the
state of Oreeon and California or other-

and California. That is to buy out the
Klamath canal company and other
owners of irrigation works within the
area proposed to be reclaimed by the
government. A satisfactory offer has
already been made to sell the Ankeny
canal to the government, and it is be
lieved that ultimately satisfactory
terms can be arranged for buying out
the Klamath canal company, although
it is understood that the company now
asks $500,000 for its works and rights.
That price is declared to be exorbitant
and unreasonable.
It is probable that the senate will
agree to the bill as it passed the house
today and that it will be promptly
signed by the president.
Build Warships at Home.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 4. The admi
ralty, having definitely committed
itself to the policy of rebuilding and
greatly increasing the size of the navy,
although the details are not yet com
pleted, is already being besieged by
foreign firms anxious to secure con
tracts. These firms are having little
success. The admiralty has decided to
attract foreign capital to Russia for the
erection of new yards with the general
- purpose of encouraging and creating a
vast shipbuilding industry at home and
securing an independent footing.
Suspension Bridge Collapses,
St. Petersburg, Feb. 4. The sus

ber ' of cabs, ' wagons, etc ., the ice at
that point being weak. The greatest

FINISH CANAL IN TEN YEARS
Report of Minister Barrett Says Pro-
' gress is Good.
Washington, Feb. 6. In" connection
with the lack of public information as
to the status of, the work ,of canal dig
ging on the Isthmus of Panama, and as
to the exac$ amount of work executed
so far by the Americans since they took
up the task, the American minister to
Panama, has, after consultation with
Chief Engineer Wallace and a close
personal inspection of the route of the
proposed canal, submitted to the state
department a report upon this subject
The communication is practically
brief Bummary of the vast amount of
detail statistics and facts that will
eventually be produced by the canal
commission, showing the actual con
struction on the canal accomplished
since July 1 last, when ' Mr. Wallace
took charge of the engineering depart
ment. The most important statement
in the report is this:
it the next six months show a pro
gress corresponding to that of the last
six months, it is the conviction of the
best engineers in Panama that a sea-
level canal can be constructed in ten
years and be ready for large vessels
January 1, 1915."
The report says there is no ground
lor the current reports that little has
been accomplished in advancing the
construction of the canal during the last
six months.
WD ARE INDICTED
COLD KILLS THE WOUNDED.
URY MAKES ANOTHER REPORT
Portland, Feb. 2. The Federal grand
jury has spoken again and this time
two new and distinctly important in
dictments have been returned, one
against Senator Mitchell charging him
with violating section 1782 of the re
vised statutes of ' the United States,
which provides that no one holding
the office of senator shall receive any
compensation whatsoever for any work
done to further matterarelating to the
work of the government in any depart
ment ; the other against State Senator
George C. Brownell, alleging that he is
guilty of subornation of perjury m hav
ing induced Fred Sievers and John A
Howland, two axmen formerly in the
employ of Surveyor General Henry
Meldrum, to swear falsely before the
grand jury in regard to the work done
by Brownell as a notary while making
affidavits, in connection with the work
of the surveyor general's office, all of
which is in violation of section 5393 of
the revised statutes.
It has been " rumored for some time
that Senator Mitchell would yet have
to face another charge than the one
which has been hanging over him for
some time, but it was not known from
which direction the blow would fall.
Many theories have been advanced and
among them an entanglement with
Frederick A. Kribs, and this has proved
to be the correct guess. It . was for
work done for Kribs that the indict
ment has been returned. The senator
has been indicted under the same sec
tion of the statutes which was used
against Congressman Driggs, of New
York, who pleaded guilty to the charges
against him, and is also the same
charge brought against Senator Bur
ton, who was recently convicted and
granted a new trial.

Kuropatkin Will Not Try to Break
Through Oyama's Line.
Mukden, Feb. 1. There is no appar
ent connection between starting of the
battle of January 26 and the domestic
excitement at St. Petersburg, nor the
orders just issued to abandon the plan
ned advance against the Japanese posi
tions. The effect of the trouble in
Russia is as yet inperceptible here.
The facts are not generally known
Officers possessing information of oc
currences at home say that the disaf
fected are probably using the present
war as a pretext for their periodical
demonstrations, which are regarded no
more seriously that formerly.
The commander in chief s orders to
abandon the advance are reported to
reasons for stopping the advance:
First, the losses sustained ; second,, the
failure of a quick attack upon which
the advance depended. The precise
meaning , of the above is not apparent.
Notwithstanding the order to cease,
a tenacious conflict continues in the
vicinity of Sanchiapu, a fortified out
post on the Japanese left, where it is
reported the Russians have taken the
outer works.
Hand Plow for Snow.
When there is such a quantity of
ground to be cleaned of snow as is
found around the average farm home,
something' more than the ordinary
snow shove Is needed. If the snow
is deep and the space to be cleared
considerable, then one should bring
into use a large plow with the horse
to pull it For a hand plow nothing
is better than the simple one made in
the following manner:
Seleet two pieces of board free from
knots, each three feet long and six
inches wide. Bevel the end of each
board and nail them together in the
form of a V. If necessary they may
be braced at the wide end by a strip
three Inches wide and the necessary
length. Then put In a pole five feet
long with a cross piece at the upper
end. To strengthen the end in which
the handle is Inserted cut a block of
wood as large as possible, and fit ft
, From Grass to Dry Feed.
Changing farm animals from grass
to dry feed is a critical time in the
fattening period. While the stomach
of a critter is able to withstand con
siderable ill treatment without caus
ing death, yet at the same time sud
den changes In the ration may great
ly Interfere with his general thrift.
The secret of success in making the
change is to do it so gradually that
the system will not be deranged. ' A
little dry feed should be given at first,
this being gradually increased until
the animals become thoroughly accus
tomed to It. It is better If animals
may have access to old grass for sev
eral weeks after they are placed on
dry feed. Some adopt the practice of
hauling a little hay to the pastures
late In the fall, and claim that this
bridges over the change period In a
most satisfactory manner. In making
the change it is better to underfeed
during the first week or two rather
than overfeed, because it may take
months to correct the Injurious result
of overfeeding at such a time. There
are those who make the claim that
an animal overfed at any period of Its
existence will never completely recov
er, but will appear more or less stunt- .
ed even up to the .time it goes to the
block as a fat animal. Where fatten
ing animals have had considerable
range it is a great mistake to conflna
them in close yards suddenly, because
they will fret considerably and may
refuse to make gains for several
weeks. Iowa Homestead.

Croton Dam. Largest Piece of Ma
sonry of Modern Time. ,
Hew York, ieb. 2. After 10 years
of labor and the expenditure of $9,000,
000, the new Cornell dam, near Croton-on-Hudson,
in Westchester county,
from which this city will draw largely
for its water suplpy, has been practical
ly, completed.. It is the largest piece of
masonry in the world, except the Pyra
mids of Egypt. The flood gates have
been shut down for the first time and
the dam has begun to fill with water
It is estimated by the engineers that
it will require about two years to fill
When the water reaches the base of its
coping it will make a lake 16 miles
long. The water will rise 30 feet above
the old dam. - The new dam will hold
30,000,000,000 gallons of water. Half
a dozen towns which occupied the site
were abandoned.
French Proposes to Sell Lots and
t Water Rights for Fund.
Washington, Feb. 1. Representa

a bill authorizing the secretary of the

law and to subdivide them into lots.
Such lots shall be sold at public auc

Thinning Apples.
Thinning apples may be a profitable
operation under some circumstances;
but as fruit is ordinarily marketed In
the commercial apple-growing sections
of New York, it Is not profitable. In

(Geneva) were carried on for four sea
sons In a commercial orchard. The re
sults, In Improvement of the fruit, in
size. In color and In quality, were
marked, whenever fair to heavy crops
were borne on the trees, but the quan
tity of fruit was usually lessened; so
that unless a higher price is secured
for the Improvement in quality the ex
pense of -the operation is not repaid.
Full details of these tests are given m

that the government can get Argentina
or Australian beef delivered at Manila
for 6)4 cents a pound, far below the

Stirring Cooking Food.
Where more or less food for stock

Kill Off the Cabbage Lice.
Cabbage aphis Is one of our worst
cabbage pests. The lice multiply very
rapidly when conditions favor them
and are a source of great loss and
annoyance. They may be killed only
by Insecticides that smother, or kill by
contact; ordinary poisons have no ef
fect on plant lice. Kerosene emulsion
diluted with 10 parts of water, applied
thoroughly to the lower side of the
leaves when .cabbage plants are small,
is effective in a measure. Fumigating
seed stocks in spring with carbon bi
sulphide gets rid of the original brood.
The pest is nasty and should be treat
