' - -.-'-J'Wi-'-.JKlc;-t-''lliiW'JI ii , i I B I HAPPENINGS FROM DRAIN 6,000 ACRES. Coquille Land Owners Cooperate to Reclaim Marshes. Coquille Five thousand acres of rich Coquille valley land is being re claimed by drainage systems through the co-operative efforts of farmers owning the land. This work has now been under way for over 12 months, though the actual work has been going on for a far leas period of time. At the present four reclamation projects are under way. The first and oldest is the Beaver Slough drainage project. The first move in this plan for the reclamation of the bottom land of the Coquille val ley was begun, by petition, over five years ago. However, the first petition was killed by the opposition of cold footed property owners in the proposed district. After a district was formed which cut off the greater portion of these dissenters and the petition car ried and the project was launched. The Beaver Slough drainage district includes 1740 acres of bottom land, which will be draiend, and the cost of the complete project will be about 117,000. The complete project will in clude over eight miles of drainage canals, the main canal being 50 feet wide and the lateral canals over 25 feet in width. In connection with the main canals lateral ditches will be dug through the land, and these will be extended through their private holdings by the individuals so far as they see fit. At the point where the main canals flow into the river tide gates will be installed which will allow the water to drain from the land freely, but will pre vent the tides from overflowing over the lowlands, as has formerly been the case. These lateral canals are about 30 feet in width and extend from the main canal to the foothills east. The second of the projects is the Fat Elk drainage district, which is located on the south side of the river and which extends two or three miles above the city. It will entail the dredging for about miles of canals and several' miles of lateral ditches. This project embraces 2,273 acres of bottom land and will make of the section of the river directly across from this city a veritable paradise in the way of dairy land. About four miles of canals are complete and it is thought that without further delay the work will not occupy more than two months longer. The main canal follows the channel of what is supposed to have been the old river and will be fitted with the usual tide gates. Including the last assessment, this project has cost 128,423, and the end is not yet. The third, the Harlocker project, is practically a private plan of increasing the value and productiveness of a pro gressive farmer's land. It was started by L. Harlocker, of this city, for the purpose of draining bis farm about five miles below town. He was joined by several neighbors, who have agreed to stand a portion of the expense. This project embraces 651 acres of land and has cost $2,000. The cost of digging lateral ditches from the main canal through the land will perhaps ag gregate $1,000 more, the entire system cost about $3,000. There will be about one mile of lateral ditches when the project is complete. Big Baldwin Ranch Sold. Portland One of the largest trans actions on record in eastern Oregon ranch lands was consummated last week when the immense Crook county holdings of the Baldwin Sheep and Land company was sold to a syndicate of Portlland capitalists for a figure said to be in the neighborhood of $450,000. The Baldwin company's holdings comnrise 26,600 acres located on Hay creek and Trout creek, and occupying the best lands in the district south of Shaniko and east of Madras. The pur chase includes the improvements on the place, including a large general store and bank, the value of which is con servatively estimated at $100,000. A large portion of the Baldwin ranch comprises some of the finest alfalfa land in Eastern Oregon to the extent of several thousand acres. It is the intention of the new owners of the- property to develop all of the alfalfa lands by conserving the waters in Hay creek and Trout creek for irrigation purposes. Practically all of the wa ter in both those streams for their entire length is controlled by the Bald win ranch. The Deschutes line of the Harriman system will run through the Baldwin property and arrange ments have already been made for es - tablishing one or more shipping points on the company's land. Accommodations for Passengers. Salem The railroad commission has taken up the matter of providing facil ities and conveniences at the point near Derry where the West Side divis ion of the Southern Pacific crosses the line of the Salem, Falls City & West . era railroad. Waiting rooms will be built and the schedules arranged so that connections both north and south can be made by the passengers en route from Salem and Dallas to Cor vallis and Portland. Fruit Growers Will Build. Eugene The Eugene Fruitgrowers association has taken an option on a lot belonging to B. F. Dorris and ad joining the Southern Pacific yards in Eugene. It is the plan to erect this spring a large fruit packing house. The association now occupies a build ing in the business district which will be moved away soon to make room for a brick Mock. AROUND OREGON WOOL GROWERS OBJECT. Charges are Made Against ,K. H O'Brien of Wallowa Reserve. Baker City Trouble between the sheepmen of this section and the fores try officials has reached an acute stage and there is every probability that j,tbe grievance of the Baker-Union Counties Woolgrowers' association wi'l be ap pealed to the officials at Washington. A meeting was held in this city between K. H. O'Brien, of the Wal Iowa reserve, and District Foreste Chapman, and the woolgrowers of thir section. The growers allege that lass year the officials agreed to allow on the Wallowa reserve 125,000 sheep from Wallowa county and 150,000 from Baker and Union counties, but only 65,000 sheep were admitted from Walla Walla and 69,000 from Baker and Union counties. The sheepmen now ask that the original limit be es tablished again and the larger number of sheep admitted. Serious charges are made against K. H. O'Brien, of the Wallowa reserve, the sheepmen believing andintimating that Mr. O'Brien's business interests, his relationship commercially, .socially and financially are of such a nature that he is unduly influenced in matters pertaining to the range. The sheep men demanded of Mr. Chapman that they have a hearing on these allega tions and that be give a decision. All complaints were reduced to writing and Mr. Chapman took the case under ad visement. It is generally believed that the meeting is merely the founda tion for an appeal by the sheepmen to Washington. Strike Pure Water at Well. Vale Newbill & Coleman, who have been sinking a test well one half mile southwest of the town, struck an un limited flow of pure water. A sample has been sent to Portland for analysis. The well was sunk on the Road com pany's land, and the mayor has written to that company asking for a donation of the land where the well is situated, and for a plat of land on the Vale hill for a reservoir, and sIbo for a park site to be donated to the city. Change in Rail Route Portland A copy of a resolution adopted by the board of directors of the O. R. & N. on January 13 declar ing the new line from a point west of Echo, Umatilla county, to the main line, near Coyote, a branch line of the corporation, has been filed with the county clerk. This is the straight cut which officials of the line have recently announced would be built. Freewater on Railroad Map Freewater At last Freewater has a recognized place on the map, the O. R. & N. company having changed the name of the depot from Milton to Mil- ton-Freewater. New folders contain the new name. It is a recognition of the passenger and traffic business orig inating at this point. New Buildings at Eugene. Eugene The concrete blocks for the new restaurant which T. H. Ellis will build for the A. L. Smith company near the depot have- been delivered. The foundation is already in. PORTLAND MARKETS.

One juror, and one alone, has saved Binger Hermann from conviction on the charge of con spiracy to defraud his country out of its public lands. That one juror withstood the pleas of bis fellow talesmen from Friday forenoon at 11 a clock until this morn ing at 9. His position proved beyond the power of argument to shake, and the twelve men came before Judge Wolverton this morning with the re port that they could not reach a ver dict. Judge Wolverton discharged the jury from further duty, and the first trial of Binger Hermann was closed, after five weeks of testimony and ar gument. When further instruction was asked of the judge Saturday, fear began to be felt of a hung jury. The hours that passed without a verdict Sunday brought conviction that the jury would be unable to agree. This morning the conclusion was confirmed by the appearance of the jury in the courtroom, when its fore man announced that an agreement was impossible, and asked that the 12 men be discharged from further attendance upon the court. Judge Wolverton was loth to have the case terminated without a verdict. But the positive assurance of the men that agreement could not be reached, left no alternative. In view of the long time' spent in deliberation, and the positive assertion of the jurors that they could not agree, the judge found it useless to confine the men longer, and discharged them from the case. Disagreement had been feared, but few who had been speculating . on the issue had thought the margin would be so narrow as one. Mr. Heney and his assistants were absolutely confident ot a conviction. Mr. Hermann, on the other side, expressed bis faith in ac quittal, and did not seem to worry over the delay in reaching an agreement. When "the report of disagreement was made, the aged defendant showed more signs of concern than at earlier stages of the case, and when it was ru mored through the corridors that only one man stood out, f riendB of Mr. Her mann realized the danger to which he had been subjected, and gave voice to their concern. George Selkirk is the one man who hung the jury. WEST WARNS WALL STREET. Taft's Lincoln Day Speech Meets With Approval. Chicago, Feb. 15. That the country has been reassured by President Taf t in bis Lincoln-day speech in New York that the administration has no inten tion of turning the business world topsy-turvy, and that the law-abiding corporations have nothing to fear, are keynotes sounded today in the editorial comment of the country on the speech. Western editors admonish Wall street that it is time to put its bogeys away and get down -to business on a basis of belief that legitimate business is safe under the Taf t administration, The sentiment seems to be that the president fell short of convincing the people that the tariff law is to be trusted for results and that in spite of the New York speech, will go on as before. The Democratic press expresses the view that Mr. Taft is solicitous of the integrity of his party and that there is no less cause for worry now than there was before. He is credited with a sin cere desire to avert anything that would upset the business equilibrium, while at the same time adhering stead fastly to his declared policy of making the corporations subservient to the public welfare, and not paramount. With the exception of a few bank era, who do not relish the idea of the establishment of a postal aavings bank system, and some manufacturers who are opposed to the new law relating to the regulation of corporations, the men of affairs in Chicago generally indorse the president s speech and policies. Wealthy Aviator Drops. Marysville, Cal., Feb. 15. Frank J. Johnson, the San Rafael million aire, this afternoon, after announcing that he would attempt to establish a world's record by traveling over a course of 20 miles and encircling the Sutter Buttes, mounted his Curtiss biplane and made a start. After traveling to the north end of the track be .turned around and on his return the machine dropped to the ground and crashed into the fence, He escaped with nothing more than a few slight bruises. Alleged "Still" on Farm. Asotin, Wash., Feb. 15. William E. Norris, a well known farmer of Ana- tone, was arrested yesterday for al leged operation of an illicit distillery on his farm near Anatone. He ap-peared-before United States Commis sioner Shaughnessy, and gave a cash bond for $2,000. Norris had the al leged still under the windmill of bis farm. The machinery is expensive and complete. Norris will appear at the April term of the U. S.ourt, . Worst Feared for Tug. Boston, Feb. 15. No news of the missing naval tug Nina, which left Norfolk for the Cbarlestown navy yard February 6, came today to relieve the anxiety as to ber fate. The belief is growing that she went to the bottom with ber crew. " What Gold Cannot Buy AutW.f "A Crk! Fat." 'M.Kl. W.f. r VM.w - "By Warn-'. Wit." "TBatW. Bar.- " IW !. "Mane's CMw" "A W Haart. CHAPTER XXI. (Continued.) "I am dying to read my letters." Wled Mrs. Savllle. "Here Is a thleS ene from Mr. Rawson." She opened It, and then, growing rather white, ex claimed, "Why, It encloses one from Hugh I" This she read eagerly, and then r perused It. "Ah, If I could believe he cares for me!" she said, at length. "The letter Is like himself, tender yet obstinate. He will be here nearly as soon as this," she went on, her small, thin Angers closing tightly on the paper. He Implores me to let him see his mother's face once more the mother he has been so near losing. Rawson has evidently told him of my Illness. He confesses I had a right to be angry, but reiterates his conviction that he has done well and wisely In securing the sweetest wife man could have." "You will see him, dear Mrs. Sa- vlller cried Hope, with white, parched lips. "You are so good as to think I was of use to you; If you would amply repay me, see your son let him plead tor his wife. They are married, you cannot separate them, and if she Is a true woman It will break her heart to know she has parted mother and son. It Is In your power to confer such happiness." "I will receive my son. As to his wife, I cannot say what I shall do. I gave Rawson directions to have her watched; It was a shabby thing to do, but I did It He has had her closely shadowed, but she has been absolutely well conducted. Still, If it Is In my power to confer much happiness, It was In hers to create much misery, and she did ltl Why, Hope, what Is the matter? Are you HIT" Hope fell back In her chair so dead ly white and motionless that Mrs. Sa vllle was terror-struck. She rang vio lently, and, rushing to the fainting girl, began to rub her cold hands. "Bring water, wlnel send Jessop! eall the doctor!" she cried, In great agitation, to the astonished butler, who had never before seen his Imperi ous mistress so moved. "The doctor has Just driven off, 'm; but I will send Jessop." Boon the lady's-maid, the butler, and the housekeeper were trying to bring Miss Desmond back to lite. When she did open her eyes they sought Mrs. Savllle's; she smiled and feebly put out her hand. "Now she must go to bed," said Mrs. Savllle, holding the offered hand In both her own. "She had better be carried up-stalrs." "I can walk quite well; at least In a few minutes," murmured Hope, "If Jessop will help me." Thus Hope was relegated to her own room, where Mrs. Savllle Insisted she must remain all the next day. Won derful to relate, that lady spent most of it at her bedside, reading or knit ting. Neither spoke much, yet they had a certain comfort In the compan ionship. Miss Rawson called, and was admitted during Mrs. Savllle's ab sence, when she went for a short air ing, which she considered essential for her own health. To her Hope explained that she must for the present refuse her hospitable Invitation. Then they talked long and confidentially, .m t Miss Rawson took charge of coupl- of I r rs -"hen she bade her young friend good-by. It was now established that Miss Desmond was not to appear till lunch eon-time, Mrs. Savllle being content to read the papers herself. The doctor was not quite satisfied; his young pa tient did not recover strength or tone: she was depressed and nervous, averse from food, sleepless. Some "complete hange to a bracing place might be necessary. Mrs. Savllle, who was deeply concerned, went eagerly Into the question of localities, but Hope lm plored, almost plteously, not to be sent away. It was the end of. September, and London was at Its emptiest; Mrs. Sa vllle was therefore spared the visits and kind Inquiries of her kinsfolk and acquaintance. She was 111 at ease from anxiety concerning Hope. All that was kindly and grateful in her strong na ture had been drawn forth by the das olate orphan girl who had the spirit to withstand her hitherto unresisted tyranny, and the perception to appaal to the better self which lay beneath It Bo Mrs. Savllle sat by herself, think ing deeply of her past, her present, and tie possible future, "one warm, rainy morning. "Horrid weather for Hope," she thought; "Impossible for nerve to get right under such skyey Influence." Yes, she must get Hope out of town. How desolate her life would be without that glrlt and she would need comfort and support In coming years. Even If she brought herself to accept Hugh's wife, she would probably turn out a thorn in their aide and keep her and her son apart Here the old butler, with a beaming face, announced, "Mr. Hugh, ma'am; and her son entered. How well, how distinguished, he -looked! his strong face deeply embrowned, his fine look- in eyes eager yet soft. "Hush!" cried Mrs. Savllle, rising, and trembling from head to foot "My dear mother!" no returned, ten derly, with the slight hoarseness of warm emotion, and he clasped her In his arms, k!s!ns her affectionately. "Are you Indeed ufe and well!" "My eon! yws S-r aearly broken my heart!" Her tose toM htm he was already h:t fcMtvtrn. "Rawson told rij tMs morulas. Just now, that I ml.iM venture to catl.

I can fUht for my own hand; but you must accept my Inno cent wife, too." "It will be a hard task. Hugh. I am a prejudiced woman, and my preju dices are strong against her." "I think they will melt when you see her, mother." "I doubt It." Mrs. Savllle was be ginning, when the door opened, and Hope Desmond walked slowly Into the room. She seemed very pale and fra gile in her simple black dress. No sooner had she caught sight of Hugh than her cheeks flushed, her great brown eyes lit up with a look half Joy, half terror, and her lips parted with a slight cry. CHAPTER XXII. Hugh Savllle sprang forward, ex. claiming, "My own love; my own dar ling wife!" and folded her In a rap turous embrace, kissing her hair, her eyes, her Hps, forgetful of everything else. Mrs. Savllle again rose from her chair, and stood petrified. At last Hope disentangled herself from her hus band's arms, and, crossing to where her mother-in-law stood, said, broken ly, "Can you forgive me the deceit 1 have practiced? Can you have pa tience to hear my explanation?" "I am bewildered," cried Mrs. Sa vllle, looking from one to the other. "Is Hope Desmond your wife, Hugh!" "She Is! Can you forgive me now?" said Hugh, advancing to support Hope's trembling form by passing his arm around her. "It Is Incredible! How did you come to Impose upon me In this way?" "I will tell you all," Hope began, when she was Interrupted by a mes sage which the butler brought from Mr. Rawson requesting to be admitted. "Show him up; he Is a party to the fraud," said Mrs. Savllle, sternly. Hugh drew his wife closer to him as Mr. Rawson entered looking radiant. "I trust you do not consider me an Intruder," he said. "You come Just when you are want ed. I feel my brain turnln," returned Mrs. Savllle. "If you will listen." urged Hope, with clasped hands. "Yes, pray hear Mrs. Hugh Savllle," said Mr. Rawson. Mrs. Savllle turned a startled look upon him, and Hope went on: "When I came to this good friend, who offered me the shelter of his house so soon as he found I was the niece of his old rector, I was In despair. I began to realize the mistake, the disobedience that Hugh had boen guilty of. I had yielded too readily to the temptation of spending my llfo with him. I felt that I was the cause of his troubles and I was overwhelmed. I wished that I could die; anything to be no longer a burden and an obstacle. Then I heard Mr. Rawson speak of finding a com panlon for Mrs. Savllle. and the thought came to me of being that com panlon, and perhaps winning her affec tlon for myself and restoration for Hugh." A Budden sob Interrupted her then, with an effort, she went on- "Mr Rawson was startled at the Idea, but his daughter at once took it up and after some discussion. It was agreed that I should make the desperate at tempt, I was therefore Introduced to you by two of my names-Hope IJes mond.

Mrs. Savllle did not draw U away, ini held their breath. Then she drew Hope's to her, and gently stroked It "I think." she aiow- w "that you are the only creature tnai ever understood me.

Yet had I died Intestate, you and your husband would have been far better oft than you will be; and you knew It You are the first that has ever given me what gold can. not buy." "Mother," cried Hugh Savllle, In a tone of wounded feeling, "I alwayt loved you as much as you would lei me." "Perhaps you did. I believe yon did," said his mother. Hope had sunk on her knees, anA kissed the hands which held hers, then her head fell forward, and Hugh sprang forward to lift her. "She is quite overcome," he exclaim ed, almost Indignantly. "She Is but ghost of her former self. And he placed her In an easy-chair, where she lay with closed eyes. "Happiness will be a rapid restora tive," said Mrs. Savllle, kindly. "Now, what punishment Is to be dealt out to you, traitor that you are?" she con tinued, turning to Mr. Rawson, "To enter Into a conspiracy against your trusting client! 8hall I degrade you from the high office of my chief ad viser? I must hold a council, and the council-board shall be my dinner-table. Bring your daughter to dinner this evening, and we shall settle many mat ters. And, Hope, If you feel equal to the task, write to Richard, inviting him to dinner to meet his new Bister-In-law." "Very few follows have bo good right to be proud of a wife as I havs," cried Hugh, exultlngly. "Our old na val stories of desperate euttlng-out ex ploits are poor compared to the endur ing courage that upheld Kate, as I al ways call her, through the long strain of her bold undertaking." "She has enlightened me, at all events," said Mrs. Savllle. . "Now go away to the drawing-room and have your talk out. The doctor Insists that a complete change is necessary for Hope's recovery; so take your wife away to-morrow for your long-delayed honeymoon. But remember, whenever you are pursuing your profession on the high seas, I claim the companion ship of Mr. Rawson's pleasant pro tegee." "Dear Mrs. Savllle, I will be your loving daughter so long as you care to have me near you," cried Hope; and, no longer hesitating, she folded her formidable mother-in-law In her arma, (The end.)
