STEAMERS FOR KLAMATH LAKE. Navigation May Soon Ho Carried on Nearly All tho Year, Corvallis Improvement of the upper Willamette was discussed here today by Pavid H, Ogden, engineer in charge (if the Willamette expenditures, mid members of the Citizens' League. The snnghoat Mathlotnu has been working on the upper river for two weeks and is to continue in the vicinity of Cor vallis throughout the coming week. The famous cut-off, where tho Wil lamette has broken through a new ckan nol and reduced n lOy-iuile stretch to less than a mile by- leaving a circuitous route for a direct one, Im been prac tically cleared of snags, which had been a menace to navigation. Similar work is to be done in other directions. The main topic, however, of the con-fcri-Sk'c between Mr. Ogden and the cit izens was the chance of an all year nav igation by boats to Corvnbu. Plans with this end in view are being worked to by the engineers. Their recommen dations for appropriations cover u Is in this particular. For two years the work has been so carried on. Mr. Og den thinks that in another two years the plan will be consummated and if navigation be not achieved throughout the summer, it will nt least bo so bet tered that there will bo but a very short period of inactivity. Local citi.ens are much encouraged by the attitude of the engineering people, and are prepar ing to co operate fully. President ItoonrvUlt and Party Em bark on Yacht Mayflower. WiiOiliii.oll.

Paris, Nov. 12. Public attention has again been drawn to the National peril involved in the constantly-diminishing birthrate by the publication of vital statistics for 1905. The births in France for this year numbered 807.292, showing a decrease of 10,937 from the total of 1904. The Teason for this de crease is not to be found In a reduc tion of the number of marriages, In which the statistics show a slight in crease over 1904, but it apparently arises from the aversion of the French people to raising large families. The National association which Is studying this matter has reached the conclusion that it is necessary to In culcate the Idea that any couple that raises more than thrfe children merits and is entitled to public gratitude and protection.

McGinnis, a native of Ontario, Can., who has been staying with his brother, D. L. McUin nis, an employe of the Menominee Lum ber Mill, died very suddenly Tuesday from what is now thought to have been poison. At tiie time of his sudden ill ness he was attended by a physician, who could not diagnose his case, but left a prescription which, it is said, failed to help him, and he died in a short time. .Since his death it has been discov ered that McCiinnis, who had only been here a short time, had been in the habit of eating a good many apples and that they were covered with spray, which he did not wipe off. The spray is poi sonous am symptoms with which he was attacked, such as vomiting and ho vcre pains in the abdomen, now lead his friends to think that he died from its effects.
