INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE UNCLE SAM TO TEST LAW, LIBRARY FUND SHORT. Interesting Land Case In Oregon To Bids Will Be Heard This Month. for mamain rails a cms which ex cites considerable intercut In this sec tlon Is that of the United States against C. A. Hunting, of Merrill, Or., for interference with the ditches of the government. This esse will establish a precedent in such matters. C. J. Ferguson, of this city, has been appointed a special commissioner to take testimony In the case, and the hearing has been fixed for August 12 This course will save both sides much expense, as otherwise all attorneys and witnesses would be compelled to go to Portland and appear before the United States court there. The history of the cane seems to be as follows: When the government opened the Klamath project it found here 'a private Irrigating system, known as the "Adams canal," which it purchased, but on examining title found that the rights of way were not all deeded. There was held back from the purchaHe price $5000, to as sure the completion of the title. Hunting's land is in this class, snd he snd the owners of the canal have not been able to agree on the terms of settlement. The government charges that he has cut the banks of a lateral on his place at points other than the regular turn outs and thus interfered with the dis tribution of water to his neighbors. In this state the law gives title to Isnd held 10 years in undisputed pos sessidn, and the owners of the canal probably rely on that to some extent. When the canal was built the land was worth very little, but now values in that section run from $75 to f 160 per acre. In the olden days men trad ed land about as they would dogs, one instance being cited where two men traded parts of their farms without writing of any kind, and now own the Isnd by virtue of the law cited above. The testimony will go to the court for decision. Be Opened August 6 Construction. Salem With the announcement that bids will be opened for the new Su preme court and State Library build ing on the state grounds August 6, it has also been determined that it will be possible on the present appropria tlon to construct only the brickwork, exterior and flooring, and that the in terior and finishing will have to do pend on a further appropriation at the next session of the legislative as sembly. Members of the State board, after making a purchase of the entire block east of the capitol at a cost of $50, 000, reached the conclusion that the remaining $100,000 would be InsufB cient for the construction of such a building as is needed. State Treasurer Kay held several conferences with members of the Su preme court and members of that body stated they would back up the State board and give their moral support in securing an additional appropriation for the construction of the building. The deficit will be about $70,000, about $50,000 of this being for the building and the remainder for com pletion and furnishings. The founda tion has been constructed. The second floor will be entirely de voted to the state library. This will include floor spsce of 96 by 126 feet The third floor will have offices for the Supreme court. The attorney general ana assistants win nave three rooms on this floor. MEDFORD FARM IS BOUGHT. for FISH COMPANIES APPEAL. Chas. D.

Salem Charges 'that the Portland Fish company, the Barbey Fish com pany and the Malarkey r ish company made false statements in amdavits as to the number of tons of fish handled during the last year and, by so doing. decreased the amount of their license fee, and gave warrant to the master fish warden to cancel their licenses, have brought a peculiar question up to the attorney-general's office. It is alleged the Portland Fish com pany made affidavit that it took less than 140 . tons of fish, and paid a li cense fee of $125; that the Barbey company took leas than 30 tons, and paid $30, and the Malarkey company took less than 140 tons and paid $125, It is further alleged that inveatiga tion of the books of the companies by the master fish warden showed that the Malarkey company took 230 tons, and should have paid $360 ; that the Port land company took 428 tons and should have paid $450, and the Barbey com pany took 295 tons and should have paid $270. The master fish warden called on the companies to pay the ad ditional sums and canceled the li' censes. The companies have now ap pealed to the Circuit court of Multno mah county. Barns Bulging With Hay. Tillamook There is another bum per hay crop in Tillamook county. So heavy was the crop in some meadows that the dairymen's barns were not large enough and farmers had to sell what they could not house to their neighbors who had larger barns. There is a large acreage of oats which has a heavy growth, the recent rains keeping the crop wonderfully. The oats will all be cut and made into hay this month, and when this crop is harvested every cow barn in the county will be loaded to its full ca pacity with hay for winter feed for the dairy herds. Apart from this there is an abund ance of green feed. There is one thing about the hay crop in Tillamook coanty, it never fails. With barns full of hay and abundance of other feed, the dairymen have nothing to trouble about on that score. Small fruits and vegetables have done well and cranberries look good for a fine crop this year. Grange To Investigate Printing. Salem A. W. Howell, master of the local Grange; Mrs. Zella Fletcher, secretary, and J. A. Sellwood, were designated as a committee to confer with the executive committee of the State Grange at a meeting held here for the purpose of investigating the argument which W. S. Duniway, state printer, has prepared to be printed in the initiative and referendum pamph let. It is the idea of the grange that the two committees go thoroughly into the argument and report to the State grange. Illinois Woman Psys $200,000 1600 Acres Fruit Land, Meorord miss Kate t. O Connor, a prominent suffrsgette of Rock ford, 111., active in the Federation of Wo men's Clubs and well known through out the Middle West, has purchased the old McMahon ranch of 1500 acres, lying seven miles southeast of Med- ford. Edward Butterfield, who owns and operates a string of retail stores in Northern Illinois, is associated with Miss O'Connor and will be the Med- ford manager. Miss O'Connor, who is an extensive real estate operator in Ilinois, will have the property cut up into five and ten-acre tracts planted with pears, and will establish her main sales office in Rock ford, 111. Although no money consideration was named, it is be lieved to be in the neighborhood of $200,000. Special inducements will be made to young women to settle on the prop erty, and it is rumored that those be lieving in "Votes for Women" will be particularly encouraged. COOS BAY CANNERIES OPEN. Salmon Industry Outlook Good When Run Is Started. Marsnneid xne salmon canning season on Coos Bay has started, but as yet there is not much of a run of sal mon. The fishermen, however, expect that there will be a good run. This year there will be more markets for fish than before. The plant at Empire will be operat ed by the Southern Oregon company, The Tallant company, which last year was interested with the Southern Oregon company, will operate sepa rately this year, having purchased the Reynolds salmon cannery in Marsh field and will operate it this year. The cold storage plant in Marshfield will also be opened this year, so there will be three plants on Coos Bay buy ing fish. The cannery at Gardiner on the Umpqua river will also operate to handle the salmon caught in that waterway. Fruit Packers to Vie. Two medals will be awarded by the Northwestern Fruit Exchange at the Northwest Land Products show, to be held in Portland in November, for the two best 25-box exhibits. The first prize will he a gold medal and the second a silver medal. It is expected that there will be between 75 and 100 entries. The medals will be awarded to packers, and not exhibitors. Manager Bond said that much inter est is already being taken in the forth' coming show by fruitgrowers and farmers throughout the Northwest. Every producing district in Oregon will have extensive displays at the show, he said. Klamath Crop Heavy. Klamath Falls There are 15 thresh ing outfits in this county, but the crop is so heavy this season that it is fear ed they cannot thresh the whole crop. The threshermen are talking of organ izing, with a view to districting the work. They hope in this manner to save much time ordinarily lost in mov ing from place to place. Whether they will succeed is a question, ' for farmers usually have a preference in such matters and may not be willing to accede to the proposed plan. Grade May Be Changed. Marshfield It is generally under stood here that the Southern Pacific will change the grade of the Eugene Coos Bay line at points between North Bend and Gardiner. In conse quence or these changes it is an nounced . that no further work will be done in the way of clearing the right of way until the changes have been made and definitely decided upon. It is thought, however, that the delay in starting the work will not be a long one. Shipments of machinery are ex pected soon. Oregon Arouses Interest. Salem "Everybody was asking about Oregon, said Superintendent Aderman, who has just returned from Chicago, where he attended the Na tional Educational association. "Great interest was expressed in the rural high schools in Oregon, and especial interest was shown in the develop ment of rural schools in general."
