Chicago, April 6 .— A political tor­
nado yesterday overwhelmed one of the
most ruggedly unique leaders in the
country. Incidentally the Republican
party met defeat in a memorable effort
to capture the mayoralty of Chicago.
As a direct result the city is officially
committed to the policy of the quickest
possible cessation of private franchises
for public utilities. Municipal owner­
ship is especially threatening street car
lines valued high up in the millions.
After winning successively four re­
markable biennial fights of independ­
ents against the regular Republican or­
ganization here, John Maynard Harlan,
son of Associate Justice Harlan, of the
Supreme court of the United States,
was a loser as Republican candidate
for mayor. The defeat is attributed to
an extraordinary whirl of causes start­
ing with political revenge and taking
in a wide sweep,' embracing the most
up-to-date Socialism as a factor. The
victor is Judge Edward F. Dunne,
Democrat.

NEW MEN NAMED
President Announces Reorganiz
ation of Canal Commission.
ONLY ONE OLD MEMBER REMAINS
Consists of Seven Members, but All
Actual Work Will Be Done
by Three Only.
Washington, April 4.— The president
has carried out his plans for the reor­
ganization of the Isthmian canal com­
mission as to the personnel and busi­
ness methods, generally on the lines of
the legislation he suggested to congress
at the last sessiion, which failed in the
crush of business in the closing hours.
Today, within half an hour after the
president’ s departure from Washing­
ton, Secretary Taft, directly in charge
of canal matters, made public the
names of members of the new commis­
sion and the division of duties among
them. Only one member of the old
commission was reappointed, Benja­
min M. llarrod.
Otherwise the com­
mission is new from top to bottom, tor
there is a top and bottom and consider­
able difference in the functions and
pay of the commissioners.
Finding he
was obliged legally to appoint seven
commissioners, the president did so,
but he carried out his own plan by
making three of them practically the
full commission.
The other four,
though hearing the title of commission­
ers, not only receive a much lower com­
pensation, but are assigned much
smaller fields of activity.
The personnel of the new commis­
sion is as follows:
Theodore
P.
Shonts, chairman; Charles E. Magoon,
governor of the canal zone; John F.
Wallace, chief engineer; Rear Adm iral
M. T. Endicott, United States navy;
Brigadier General Peter C.
Hains,
United States army (retired ); Colonel
Oswald M. Flrnst, corps engineer, Unit-
ed States army ; Benjamin M. Harrod.

Great Irrigation Project for Southern
Idaho Receives Approval.
Washington, April 4.— The Payette-
Boise irrigation project in Idaho has
received the formal approval of the sec­
retary of the Interior, who recently set
aside $1,300,000 for initiating the
work of construction. This action has
lieen anticipated for some time, and is
largely the result of the splendid enter­
prise of the citizens of that section.
For more than a year the landowners,
organized into a water-users’ associa-
tion, have labored indefatigably to har­
monize the many conflicting claims of
private interests in lands, canals, and
water rights, with the result that tixlay
practically the valley as a unit stands
pledged to the government enterprise.
Great as the satisfaction of the citi­
zens may he on account of the favor­
able action of the secretary, it is no
greater than that felt by the reclama­
tion service, whjch has long recognized
the fact that the Payette-Boise project
is one of the most attractive in the
arid West, and but for the many and
complicated private and^corporate in­
terests involved, would have been se­
lected for the initial work of the gov­
ernment in Idaho. The people, having
worked out satisfactory solutions to the
divers problems, are deserving of the
success which has Anally crowned their
efforts.

but Farmers are Satisfied.
Albany— Linn county people are
watching the weather man closely these
days, and yearning for a “ fair day”
flag. This is particularly true of fruit­
growers, for the recent cold rams are a
menace to the fruit crop.
As it is, some injury has been report­
ed. A prominent farmer and fruit­
grower of Linn county states that he is
of the opinion that cherries and prunse
are somewhat injured already, particu­
larly cherries. The cherry trees were
loaded with blossoms at the end of the
warm spring weather that marked the
closing days of F'ebruary and the first
half of March, and the rain caught
them at the tenderest age.
Then a
couple of light frosts last week added
to the danger.
Prunes were not brought out so much
as cherries by the premature advent of
spring, and may possibly escape injury.
Although the trees seemed to he in
blossom at the beginning of the rains,
they were in reality not generally in
full bloom, but were loaded with buds
that were just ready to burst but had
not yet exposed the tender inner part
to the weather. Under these circum­
stances it is believed the damage w ill
he nominal, if good weather comes
soon.
However, it would not take
many days of chilling rains anil winds
to do irreparable damage. It lias been
stated that the prune trees were giving
evidence of such a heavy crop that it
would really be better for the fruit if
some of the embryo prunes were killed
hy the cold.
Other branches of farming are faring
well. An easy w inter and early spring
places stock in excellent condition, and
every class of stock looks well.
Dairy
farmers are m ilking more cows, with
better results than in years before at
this season of the year. Many farmers
will finish the winter in much better
shape than was anticipated after the
poor crops of last year.
Wheat is looking fine, and, barring
some unforeseen freak of nature to de­
stroy the present bright prospects, the
wheat yield of the valley w ill be far
above the average.
Fall sown wheat
can almost be seen to grow now, and
many farmers are preparing to put all
their remaining acreage in spring grain.
Salem— Though the statutes govern­
ing the sale of state lands have been
violated ever since they were enacted,
the investigation to be made by the
Marion county grand jury this week
will he the first attempt that has ever
been made to punish infraction of these
laws. Several hundred thousand acres
of land have been bought illegally, and
the state school fund has lieen de­
spoiled of several hundred thousand
dollars, but usually punishment of the
offense has been barred by the statute
of limitation before it was discovered,
or, the state having received the legal
price for the land sold, no one feels in­
terested enough to start an investiga­
tion. The offense which the grand
jury will investigate this week is of re­
cent date, and the facts are so well
known that the
transactions
can
scarcely he overlooked.
Because the state in every instance
receives the price required hy law, and
is not directly robbed, it has been easy
to let the infractions of law go with
scarce a passing notice. But indirectly
the state has been robbed anil vigorous
action at the proper time would not
only have landed the offenders in pris­
on, but saved many thousands of dol­
lars for the school fund.
It is not
through the ordinary sales of school
land that the steals have taken place,
for in all such cases the state haa re­
ceived all the land is worth.
