CANCELS ALLOTMENTS.
Malheur and Pelouse Projects Have
Too Many Obstacles.
Washington, Dec. 4. Secretary
Hitchcock has canceled the allotment
of (2. 250.000 for the Malheur irnga
tion project in Eastern Oregon, and the
allotment of (2.800,000 for the Pa louse
project in Washington, winch means,
in substance, that there is no prospect
that either project will be built by the
government at an eaily day. The can
celing of these allotments does not ne
cessarily mean the entire abandonment
of either project; it is still possible
'that they may be constructed at some
future time, but not until other pre
lect have been built in both states.
The Malheur allotment is canceled
because that project is involved in so
many obstacles that its early construc
tion is utterly impossible. The secre
tary sees no immediate prospect of an
mlinstment with the owners of the
wagon road lands, he sees no prospect
of an early understanding with other
landowners: he sess no indication
whatever that the governmenat could
build this project for several years
even if it had the money to spend. He
has therefore turned the Malheur allot
ment back into the reclamation fund,
in order that it may be expended else
where.
The secretary cancels the Palouse
allotment for very different reasons
This project will cost approximately
(6,000,000, and is of such a nature
that not an acre of land can be irri
gated until the entire project is com
pleted. It cannot be built in unite, as
in the Klamath or Yakima country.
The secretary has not (6,000,000 which
he can spend in Washington at this
time, and has therefore decided to post
pone building the TalouBe project until
more funds are available, possibly for
ten years or more.
Meanwhile, as he informed the
Washington delegation today, he will
go ahead and build the Okanogan pro
ject, for which he this afternoon allot
ted (500,000, and it is believed that
before long he will approve and autho
rize the construction of the Tietan and
Sunnyside projects.
HEYBURN WANTS PURE DRUGS.
Bill to Insure Unadulterated Foods,
Medicines and Liquors.
Washington, Dec. 4. Federal con
trol of foods, drugs and liquors for the
purpose of securing their purity is pro
vided for in a comprehensive bill to be
introduced in the senate at an early
date by Senator Heyburn, ot Idaho.
Jurisdiction of the government over
these articles is declared in the meas
ure when they become articles of in
terstate or foreign commerce, and a
penalty of a maximum fine of (500
and one year's imprisonment is pro
vided for violators of the regulations
set forth.
It is made unlawful to sell or manu
facture any article of food, drugs, med
icine or liquors which is adulterated
or misbranded, or which contains any
poison or deleterious substance. Its
terms prohibit the introduction into
the United States or insular possessions
from a foreign country of foods, drugs
and liquors which are not pure or are
misbranded.
The measure defines what shall con
stitute misbranding and adulteration
in the article over which it assumes
jurisdiction.
HAWAII WANTS PEOPLE.
Offers Inducements to Immigrants
From America and Europe.
Washington, Dec. 4. Active efforts
have begun on the part of the govern
ment of the Hawaiian islands to induce
immigration from the United States
and Europe. An immigration board
was appointed by the governor. The
chairman of this board, A. L. C. At
kinson, who is also secretary of the
territory, is now in this country for
the purpose of attending the immigra
tion session of the Civic federation, to
be held in New York. Mr. Atkinson
today consulted at length regarding his
mission with Mr. Sargent, commis
sioner general of Immigration. He has
decided to present the inducements his
government has to offer in the way of
homesteads to settlers both to Ameri
cans and to immigrants landing in this
country, as well as to the principal
Eastern countries. Large tracts of
land have been set aside for settlers of
this class.
To Guard Little Shipper.
Washington, Dec. 4. Representative
Campbell, of Kansas, who secured the
adoption of a resolution in the last con
gress for the investigation of Standard
Oil company's corporations in the
Western oil fields, has prepared a bill
to regulate ventilator, refrigerator, oil
tank cars and all other heretofore term
ed private cars, making them subject
to interstate commerce regulations.
Speaking of the proposed bill, Mr.
Campbell says it Is intended to protect
the little shippers and the railroads
against the power of big shippers.
Open All Other Boxes.
New York, Dec. 4. Preparations to
ask the courts for the opening of 1,000
ballot boxes, for the service of 000
writs of mandamus, and for the service
of 6,000 orders on counsel and election
inspectors, were made today by legal
counsel for William R. Hearst, in his
contest tor the New York mayoralty
election. These plans were the result
of the disclosures of inaccuracies shown
by the opening of four ballot boxes
Friday.
Russian Strike Affects Mills.
Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 4. It ia feared
that many of the steel mills will be
obliged to close from lack of ferro-man-ganese,
the supply of which has been
cut off because of the strikes in Russia.
OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
AID FROM STATE.
It Necessary In Road Construction,
Says Convention.
Corvallis The voice of the Good
Roads convention is unanimously for
state aid in the construction of public
roads. No resolution to this effect
was adopted, but throughout the two
days' session the idea came to the front
at unexpected times and always with
the apparent approval of the delegates.
It was injected into the proceedings by
an Alsea farmer, who declared that
there ought to be state aid, so that
Poi t land would have to help pay the
price, because all that Portland is or
all that she hopes to be has come or is
to come from the product of the farms,
mines and niil.s in the terri'oiy ot
which she is the commercial mistress
This brought Judge Webster into the
open, and he declared his approval of
the sentiment expressed by the Alaean,
and announced a leliet that state aid
should be vouchsafed in road construe
tion, the state to pay about 50 cents
every time a certain community strug
gling with a road raised 60 cents.
HAILEY ON SUPREME BENCH
Governor Chamberlain Will Appoint
Pendleton Man.
Salem Governor ChamWrlain has
announced that he will appoint T. (i.
Hailey, of Pendleton, to succeed Jus
tice Wolverton on the supreme bench.
This appointment wai expected, but
came much sooner than anticipated, for
there is really no vacancy as yet.
Governor Chamberlain has been con
sidering the matter of an appointment
to the supreme bench ever since it be
came probable that one of the superior
judges would be appointed to the Fed
eral tench. He bad therefore weighed
the qualifications of available men and
was ready to make a selection.
By announcing the appointment at
once, the governor has saved the
trouble of receiving and considering
the flood of recommendations and ap
plications that would soon have been
pouring in.
Books for Christmas.
People who buy books for children
usually take what they can get most
easily, or what the clerk recommends.
Everyone likes to make a good invest
ment, to get value received. The Ore
gon Library commission makes this
possible in so far as children's books
are concerned, for it has publisehd for
free distribution a list of something
over a hundred titles ot children's
books for Christmas gifts and for the
home library. There are notes on the
books, and prices are given ranging
from 15 cents to (3. Any one may get
this list by applying to the secretary of
the commission at Salem.
Big Ranch Sold.
Pendleton One of the biggest ranch
deals in the history of Eastern Oregon
was just consummated here, in which
the ranches and sheep of Charles Cun
ningham, the Umatilla county sheep
king, were sold to a company composed
of J. N. Burgees, J. M. Keeny, R. A.
Kelsay and Dan J. Malarkey. The
price paid was in the neighborhood of
(200,000. The deal has been pending
since October, when an option was giv
en the purchasers for (5,000. About
20,000 acres, 20,000 sheep and 1,000
tons of hay are included in the deal.
More Smallpox at Eugene.
Eugene Two more cases of small
pox have been reported to the health
authorities, and the houses of A. J.
Pickard and Warren Luckey are now in
quarantine. Earl Luckey, son of War
ren Luckey, was taken down and began
to break out while in the school room,
but it is not believed the other stu
dents were endangered, because the dis
ease had not reached the stage where it
would become contagious. Strict meas
ures are in force for stamping out the
disease as quickly as possible.
May Replace Woolen Mills.
Albany A proposition which would
allow Albany to regain some of the pay
roll she lost through the burning ot the
Albany woolen mill last spring, has
been received from an Eastern man
who will remove anix set woolen mill
plant to Albany, if local capitalists will
furnish the buildings. Besides having
double the capacity of the old mill, the
new concern proposes to operate in con
nection with the woolen mill a knitting
mill and a clothing manufactory.
Survey by Oregon Short Line.
Ontario A second Oregon Short Line
surveying party has left here for the
interior. While they were all very
reticent as to their destination, it was
learned that they will camp in the vi
cinity of Crane creek gap. The first
party, which left here two weeks ago
has been in camp near Westfall, on
Bully creek. The party here now is
registered at the hotel as Oregon Short
Line men, so there is no longer a ques
tion as to their identity.
Use Wagons In Lieu of Cars,
Athena On account of the scarcity
of cars, the Preston-Parton Milling
company is obliged to employ teams
to haul wheat overland to keep their
mills running. The conditions are
growing worse daily at the mills, w hich
are congested with the large amount of
accumulated flour, there being several
hundred thousand barrels on hand
awaiting shipment. Just when this
condition will be relieved is hard to
state
ELABORATE PREPARATIONS.
Seven States Will Be Represented at
Fruitgrowers' Convention.
I.n Grande Elaborate preparations
ate Wing made in thi city for the en
tertainment of the Fruitgrowersg4 con
veuticn here January 3 to 6. Secretary
C. D. Huffman, of this place, has re
coived ninny coniniunicatioi.s from del
egate, and Oregon, Washington, Call
tornia. Idaho. Utah. Montana and
Wyoming will be represented.
The exereisea will probably be held
in the opera house, and the commercial
club hall will he utilised for an exhi
bition rooiu. Hood River has signified
its intention of having an exhih t here,
and many other fruitgrowing communi
ties are arousing Interest. I -ft G ramie
will be well represented. A large
number of growers of this valley w ill
save their best fruits for the M-cniou,
and anyone alone is able to make a
creditable showing. One llourli'g mill
is considering erecting a huge pyramid
of flour reaching to the ceiling to ad
vertise the grains.
A strenuous campaign will Ik started
soon and delegates from all over the
valley will be asked to prepare the ex
liil.it.
Fishing Law Is Defied.
Tillamook Although the (lulling
season for Tillamook closed on the
20th, fishing is in full blast on Tilla
mook bay, and Elmore's cannery i also
running to its capacity and is receiving
a large quantity of IimIi, as there is a
tine run of silversides, and the fisher
men are doing well. The cannery has
agreed to take all the fish, and as it
has a lot of empty cans on hand that it
wants to fill this season, no attention
is being paid to the cloned season by
the cannery people. Only one or two
fishermen have stopped fishing and
complied with the law.
Much Work for Wolverton.
Salem There are 34 cases to be de
cided by the Supreme court, presuma
bly before Judge Wolverton leaves the
bench. These cases have all been
argued before the court. Twenty-four
of these cases were heard at the recent
session of the court at Pendleton. Ten
cases heard in this city have not been
passed upon. Among the latter is the
noted Marquam case, which the court
has had under advisement for several
months. If all these cases are decided
before Judge Wolverton retiree, it
will require at least two weeks.
Real Estate Active.
La Grande Since the railroad move
ment at Elgin, the real estate transac
tions at that place have been on the
advance, as a careful examination of
the county records will indicate. Dur
ing one week one-third of the 21 reai
estate sakes in Union county were made
at Elgin. The tales consist largely of
town lots, though an occasional timlier
tract changes hands. The prices are
far in advance of those obtaining a few
monttiB ago.
New Road in Baker County.
Baker City Private advices received
from engineers in the field state that
surveys have been approved for build
ing another railroad in Baker county,
connecting Union with the Cornucopia
timber country. The promoters are
after timber traffic and nothing else.
For obvious reasons the names of the
promoters and financiers aie kept quiet
for the present. The money is guaran
teed in New York.

CUT OFF FrtOM OUTSIDE WORLD
Operatives Driven From St. Peters
burg Telegraph Office.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 1. Communi
cation with the outside world ceased ai
3 o'clock this afternoon, when a strike
was called in the general telegraph
office. I!y a ruse, however, the man
agement succeeded in reopening the
cable shortly after 6 o'clock.
At 3 o'clock, when the strike went-j
into operation, many of the Russian
operators were reluctant to leave, but a
walking delegate promptly smashed a
Uittle of hydrochloric a id on the floor,
ami the fumes soon drove the men from
their keys.
The Danish cable operators remained
at their post, but the receiving clerks
having lied, messages were refused for
three hours. Although troop occu
pied the building, the employes who
were willing to work were terrorized,
and were afraid to return.
M. Slevastianoff, superintendent of
posts ami telegraphs, declare that the
government has ample evidence to
prove that the strike is a political con
spiracy planned by the revolutionaries,
the demand for the reinstatement ol
the discharged leaders of the telegraph
ers' union at Moscow being a mere pre
text, which, however, has deceived
many operators and other employes of
the service. M. SlevastianofT declares
that it. is impossible (or the govern
ment to yield or to be held up by its
own servants, and that it is determined
to fight out the matter to the bitter
end.

today talked with Secretary Hitchcock
about the irrigation situation in

Jones are expected tomorrow.
Senator Piles and Representative
Cushnian this morning paid their re
spects to the president.

Washington, Dec. 1. The strongest

gress. Enormous petitions will be
presented in both houses. Senator
Beveridge, chairman of the senate com
mittee on territories, will introduce
and press the joint statehood bill as
early as possible In order to get it out
of the way of other important bills.

PLOT AGAINST CZAR
Plan Was to Capture the Entire
Imperial Tamlly.
CZAR'S BODY GUARD IMPLICATED
Grand Duke Believed to Head Move
His Object Being to Proclaim

St. Petersburg, Dec. 2. It Is re
jvorted here that one of the grand dukes

TRY TO DESTROY TREATY.
Japanese Torpedo Boat Makes Dar
ing Attack on Commission.
Seattle, Wash., Dee. 2. The attempt
to murder the peace delegates and de
stroy the treaty between Japan and
Russia, which was drawn up by the
plenipotentiaries in Portsmouth, and
which was being sent to the mikado,
was witnessed by officers and passen
gers on Ixiard the Dakota, on the night
of her arrival in Yokohama. Dr. Wil
liam I.opp, surgeon of the I'akota, in
speaking of the incident, said;
"The whole thing happened the
night of our arrival in Yokohama. We
were lying in Mississippi bay, just out
side of the breakwater. All the tor
pedo Ixiat and war vessels whieh es
corted the peace commi"ion were
drawn up in a long line. The launch
containing the delegation ami th
treaty left the warship and started for
the landing. Suddenly one of the tor
pedo boats, anchored near the end of
the line of battleships, slipped her
cub.e and started for the launch. The
torpedo Ixiat made for her at a right
angle course.
"The people on the launch s iw the.
torpedo Ixiat Ieav& the line of craft and
they knew what was coming. The
launch was slow, and the torpedo Isiat
came on like a comet. Like a shot
from a cannon she rushed on, and in a
minute struck the launch, cutting her
completely in two, and raced on into
the darkness. We could see the men
struggling in the water, and clinging to
the pieces of the wrecked Isiat,
"Launches from the battleships were
at once sent to their rescue, and saved
all but one of the occupants. The.
treaty was also saved."
