Deschutes Irrigation.
Washington, Feb. 14. President
Roosevelt this atternoon advised Rep
resentative Moody that he today ap
proved the map and contract with the
state of Oregon permanently segregating
84,707 acres of land in the Deschutes
Valley, which it is proposed shall be
reclaimed under the Carey act by the
Pilot Butte Development Company, of
which A. M. Drake is president.
This action ends the long controversy,
and so far as the general Government is
concerned, gives this company the right
to proceed with the immediate construc
tion of its irrigation system, according
to the approved plans. Government
officials here regard this as the moet
important and most promising Carey
act proposition in the state, and see no
reason whv the project should not be
carried through in the ten years allowed
by law Unsuccessful completion.
Under the terms of the contract with
the state, the Pilot Butte Company will
be allowed to charge an annual water
rental on reclaimed lands of $1 per acre,
in lieu of the company amounting to
$S4 8,557.
This case is the first one in Oregon
under the Carey act to be approved by
the President. It haa been hung up in
the Land Office since early last Summer.
Representative Moody, throughout the
session, has been urging immediate
action on all Carey act cases in Oregon,
but it was not until Commissioner
Richards took hold that he was able to
get this case "jarred loose."
Pearls Becoming Scarce.
It is reported that a famine of pearls
has set in, due to the large demand for
these lovely gems. It is claimed that
no other stone is so becoming to yonth
and beauty, but the majority of people
throughout tbe country are not able to
purchase these costly gems. However,
as long as tbey enjoy good health tbey
are far richer and will always look better
than if tbey possessd all the pearls ip
tbe world. If you have lost the precious
possession health you 6hould try
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters because it
is recognized as tbe best .health maker
in txistaooe. It will cure headache,
nervousness, indigestion, liver and
kidney troubles and malaria fever and
ague. Oar Private Stamp is on tbe

Mr. Wheeler Got Rid of His

Has Heucltcd Semite ICegtirdiiiK
Trusts.
Washington, Feb. 15. There is pos
sibly some embarrasfment ahead of
those Senators who have arranged that
there shall be no more trust legislation
than is contained in the Elkins and
Nelson amendment. Here is the ju
diciary committee of the Seriate pound
ing away on a measure, and it may
report the Littlefield bill, so as to make
it more drastic than as it passed the
Houses Should the committee report
it, it would mean that the skillfully ar
ranged programme of the Senate leaders
might be upset. Men who know some
thing about the feeling against trusts in
their states will not be willing to side
track lagis'ation like the Littlefield bill
has passed the Houce unanimously.
More than this, the reports that have
been so generally circu'ated that the
Littlefield bill was only a "bluff" have
caused comment throughout the countiv
of a character to distur b Senators who
are closely identified with big corpora
tions. The imputation of bad faith on the
part of the President may also have
some effect. Because the President
urged the Elkins bill and the Nelson
amendment it has been asserted that he
was a party to a programme of "mild"
trust legislation. As a matter of fact,
the policy of the President has been to
get all he could when he could, lie
found that the Nelson amendment could
be procured, and that the Elkins bill
could be passed, and he accepted both.
By threats and methods scarcelyy in
keeping with his office, he might have
forced more drastic legislation, but as
the two propositions offered were as
sured, he g'adly accepted them. If
more can be obtained he will be pleased,
but if not, he, as Chief Executive, will
see what au enforcement of the new
legislation will bring about, and w hen
the next Congress assembles he can
urge such additions a8 are found
necessary.
Although the unusual activity on the
part of the Senate judiciary committee
in favor of more effective legislation is
disturbing the Senate managers, the
short time remaining of the session
makes it well-nigh impossible to secure
action before adjournment.
