i REFUSES TO CHANGE Hitchcock Admits California lias Share in Klamath. BUT CHARGES ALL TO OREGON Fulton' Plea for Umatilla Irrigation Fallt on Deaf Ear Secretary Denounces Malheur. Washington, Not. 25. Secretary Hitchcock ia now convinced of the In terstate charactor of tho Klamath irri gfttlon project and acknowledges that California is to benefit by the work In contemplation fully as much as Ore gon, but ho is not willing to change his order charging tho entire allotment to tho stato of Oregon. When Senator Fulton again took up tho matter of tho Umatilla project with tho secretary, ho foiiud Hitchcock hold ing tho same views he voiced on the occalon of his previous viBite, contend ing that Oregon's 61 per cent reserve fund lias been appropriated and ex plaining that there are no funds avail able for construction of tho Umatilla project. Mr. Fulton maintains that, even if tho tecretary adheres to his determina tion to charge tho entire cost of tho Klamath work to Oregon, there is yet enough money in tho reclamation fund to the credit of Oregon to build the Umatilla project. On June 30 last Orrgon's restricted fund wospractlrally 12.500.000. Deducting $2,000,000 al lotted for Klamath, there was yt $500,000 left, and it is Mr. Fulton's contention that since July 1, 1005, enough money has been received from disposal of public lands in Oregon to make tho other $500,000 necessary for tho Umatilla project. Tho secretary is unable to state how much money Ore gon has contributed to the fund since Jul-, but will advise the senator when be ascertains the facts. Notwithstanding that he denominates the Malheur project a "steal," and al ludes to tho operation of the wagon road people as a "graft," tho secretary will not formally set aside this project, though admitting that lie will not con struct i'. Nor will he permit the Mal heur allotment to be used in part for tho Umatilla project. He says Oregon has had her full share of reclamation monty oitside of the Malheur project, and is not entitled to the benefit of the miney which ia now credited to that project, but which is not being used. TRY TO DAM SALTON SEA. Lergo Force Working to Save nail road From Destruction. Loa Angoles, Nov. 25. Two hun dred men, divided into day and night shifts, 20 teams hauling brush and sand, two piledriveta thumping away almost Incessantly, two aternwheel steamers carrying construction material and commissary stores from uma these forces under Superintendent J. Tolin are engaged in the Herculean task of building a COO foot dam across the west channel of the Colorado river four miles below Yuma, by which tho California Development company hoped to bring Salton sea to a standstill ana eventually restore the Salton Sink to a dry bed of evaporation of the flood wtaers that have wreaked such havoc there. If the dam is a success, the Southern Pacific railway in ime will be able to abandon its 1G miles of shooily track east of Salton, and resume its main line. If the dam is a failure, 40 miles and perhaps more of shooily may have to be built, the whole Imperial coun try may be deprived of its supply of canal water, and the Colorado river may be diverted through the River Padronea into Volcano lake, thence to find its way northward through the new river into the Salton Sea. What this would mean may be ooiljectured from the damage already done by the flooding of tho great sink. Congress Will Investigate Expense.' Washington, Nov. 25. It wis stated at tho War department today that while congress would be afked to appropriate a total of $10,000,000 to -meet he needs of the Panama canal work to Juno SO next, it Ib not ex pected that congress will appropriate it in a lump sum. Tho canal officials expect that congress will pass a bill making available a portion of this amount to meet the immediate wants because, congreeB would probably in vestigate to learn how the money thua far expended liaa been used. Three Big Battleships. Washington, Nov. 25. Threo first class battleships of at least 18,000 tona displacement and 18 knots speed, three ecout cruisers of 5,000 tona displace went, one gunboat of tho Helena class - tmd four other gunboats of light draft, two for use in the Philippines and two for aervico in the ilvera of China, with additional topeuo boata anu torpeuo boat destroyers, are tho principal re commendations of tho general board of tho navy In ita program. Hyde-Dimond Case Postponed, Washington, Nov. 25, The hearing by tho Criminal court on the demurrer filed In the Hydo-Dlmond case, in which fraudulent land transactions on the Pacific coast nre charged, which fA trulnv 'wan nnstnonetl far two weeks, I BE GENEROUS TO PHILIPPINES. Now tork Board of Trauo Wants Hestrlctlons Momovcd. Now York, Nov 24 Resolutions favoring abolishing American duties on Philippine products mitt repeal of tho now law to regulate shipping between this country mid tho Philippines wero adopted todav by tho New York Hoard of Trade Tho revolutions rend In part: "If tho islands nro our wards, they are not part of the United States and wo should not make the mistake that what is good tor tho United States Ib good for tho Philippines. Intonso do Biro la evinced In tho Philippines for the removal of our duties on their pro ducts and Insofar aa such abolition would benefit them, we should gener ously grant them that advantage." In urging upon congress tho repeal of tho shipping act, which will become operative on July 1, 1000, tho revolu tions declare that the act will reduce tho facilities for commerce between the United States and the Philippines and materially enhance tho cost of produce from the United States or of American manufactures Imported into the Phil ippines. The resolutions continue: "There are no American ships in the trade between tho Philippines and the Atlantic ports, and there would not be enough American tonnagu to curry 425,000 bales of Hour annually Import ed at these porta. A great deal of it would have to come via the Pact tic ports and over transcontinental rail roads, and this unnatural route affonls tho only competition to check the ox horbltant rates to Atlantic ports made." SMOOT WILL NOT RESIGN. No Action on Senator's Case Likely Before January Washington, Nov. 24. Senator Heed SmoDt, who arrived hero this evening, pays most emphatically that there is no foundation for the story that he in tends to reiign from the senate, and he is at a loss to understand the source ot the report. He is surprised to learn that tho senate committee will reopen his case and give further hearings, but ha no objection to that course. He furthermore declares his willlngnca to abide by any decision which the senate may make when It comes to a vote on hit case. It will probably be late in January before the committee on privileges and elections makes a report on the case. Hearings cannot be resumed before the first week in January. After their con elusion the committee will take some time to digest the great maps ol testi mony and it will be remarkable if it can report in January. Once tho case goes to the senate it will receive prompt conlderatlnn, aa it is a matter of tho highest privilege anil will neuis posed of before legislative matters can receive consideration. It is exacted the debate will occupy several weeks. ELKINS PROPOUNDS IDEAS. Offers Suggestions for Federal Reg ulation of Railroads, Washington, Nov. 24. Tho senato committee on Interstate commerce to day continued the dipcusslon of meas ures relative to amending the railway regulations. Many ideas were ex changed, but there were no develop ments of importance. Senator Klkins, chairman of the committee, occupied much of the session in making sugges tions and discussing propositions which lie thought ought to be incorporated in any bill that may be reported These suggestions were numerous and would mean a lengthy measure aside from regulation provision. Mr. Klkins did not bring forward the pooling proposition, but intends to present it later in some modified form, so that there may bo freer traffic be tween railroads. One partlclar point made by him looked to compelling trunk lines to afford better facilities to lateral linea and small roada which are compelled to use big roads to reach a market. The better management of the private car linos bo as to meet the demands of shippers and amendment of the laws bearing on terminal compa nies and termnlal charges also were suggested.

He holds that the board can sell laud only when it haa authority nf law to do so and Ha general authority extends only to the sale of state land granted by tho government. ADVANCE IN PRICE OF LOGS. Logging Camps Soon to Shut Down, and Shortago Is Expected. ABtorla While several ot the loggers In the Uiwor Columbia river district are under contract to deliver logs at $7.50 per thousand until tho llrst of the year, the others have advanced tho prlco for tlr logs to $H mid a few sales are said to have been made nt llguros ii shade higher. In spite of t Ills ad vance lit price, the demand is excellent mid the logs are being taken as fast as they nro put In tide water. A number of the larger logging companies will close down tholr camps for at leas' a month or six weeks as soon us the heavy ruins sot In and as, with the single exception ot the Eastern x Western Lumber company, none of the mills have a huge supply ot logs on hand, a shortage Is looked for before the end ot the winter season. Notwithstanding the advance in the price ot tlr logs, spruce Is still polling at about $7. Buys 2,000 Lambs. Urlnovllle Stockmen here are still commenting on tho sale recently ol 2,000 lambs by Williamson A (leaner to tho Baldwin Sheep & bind com pany, at $2 60 per head. Such u large sale nt this time of the year Is consid ered an remarkable, particularly when the price is such a good one. In the spring there would be nothing extra ordinary about the transfer. That such a large band should bo transferred just us the feeding Benson is coming on, and at a good figure, is taken to mean that there are inilicatious somewhere of a good prlco for both mutton and wool next spring. West Coast Lumber In Demand. Portland Within the last few weeks a new market has been oprneud up for Oregon and Washington lumber, ai.d already shippers are preparing to trans port by water more than 0,000,000 feet to New York. Part ot this lumber will go from Portland on sailing vessels and part of it will be taken from the mills ot Puget sound. Outside of the extreme heavy timber heretofore there has been nractleally no demand for Oregon and Washington lumber in the New York markets, and the suddenness and magitudii of the orders of recent date have come as a surprirse. Can Corn at McMlnnvllle. McMinnville If present interest In the matter does not wane, next year will see McMinnville with a large corn canning factory. Several years ago samples of corn were rent to this coun ty to test soil, climate and other con ditions. The results sent back to the promoters show the quality llrst clans in every particular. The Eastern peo ple contemplating building a factory here stato the plant will lie the same size as tho one they now operate, pay ing out about $10,000 each year for the product and about $0,000 in wages.

Judge Charles K.

Willie ho was strongly Indorsed by Circuit Judge Gilbert and by prom Inent nieinbers ot the Oiegon bur, and while he was on Senator Fulton's list, and was highly regarded by Attorney General Moody, Ids Indorsement "" no stronger than thnsu ol several other candidates. Tho appointment of Wolverton was hiutuuml by a request recently mado by District Attorney Honey. Mr. Honey will return to Putllaiid very soon, mid Is anxious to resume and conclude the laud trials. He found that no other district Judge wits available for service at Portland at this lime, It being Im possible for Judge Hunt or Judge Dp Hiivou to leave his court in the Imme diate future. On this suggestion the attorney general took the mutter up with the president, who then hastened tho appointment. FOUNDERS ON ROCKS. Unknown Steamer Goes Down Off Const of Nova Scotls. Halifax, N.

The gale was then blow lug at a terrltlc rate and the sea was break ing heavily on the numerous shoals which stud that coast.

UMATILLA PROJECT ruiton Endoavors to Obtain Ap lirovnl o( Hitchcock. ' HOLDS OREGON TO THE LIMIT Did Not Know Half Klsmalh Tract Was In California fill Sana tor Told Him. U'-.l.limtnn. Nov. 23. HwimlOl 111 1- ton hud n conference with Secretary Hitchcock today on Oregon Irrigation matters. He was advised, us previous i.. -i-i.l in tlti.mi illmutteliix. thill the secretary will nut think of building the .Malheur project miner nxisuuK rwim tlons, but was surprised to llnd the sec retary unwilling to make any allotment lor the Umutlllii project. After somo argument, tho senator obtained a con ditional promise from the secretary which, If fullir.ed, will mean early adoption anil eoiisiruriinu oi urn tiim tllla project. At tho outset the secretary staled that he had already allotted .000,. nuil in 1 1... k'lnimitli uioli'i't. wlilrli hu had' charged up In Oregon. This amount Is within M'ln.lMit) nf Orrgnii'r) restricted fundi in other wonis, is ulililn llinl nliliillllt of fl nor cent lit Oregon's cuiitributliiu to the reclama tion fund. The secretary, tumor "in law, Is obliged to eipend this l p.r cent In Oregon, but he clearly showed to the senator that ho Is unwilling to give Oregon mure than Its 61 per cent. The senator told the secretary that tlm Klamath Is not entirely an Oregon tun Joct. He pointed out that about half tho laud under that project lies 'n Cal ifornia, and further stated that Kla math trade, altor the proecl Is built, will go largely to California. He there fore Insists ihitt It Is unjust to Inilld the KnlauiNth reject entirely with Oregon funds, and demands that tin 12,000,000 allotment slHiuld lie divided and at least half ol It charged to Cali fornia. If tills Is .lone, the secretary will have f l.AOO.000 fur I in mod lute ex pondilure In Orrgmi, and only 11,000, 000 is nkod fir tho I'ttiattlla prnjeel. Tho secretary said h did not know that the Klamath project Included Cal ifornia ns well an Oregon laud. Iln had supiil It was entirely an Oregon project. Il added that he mold IHit allot 1 1. OOO.OOO for the Umatilla pro ject mile It mil Id be shown that the whole Klamath tract is not In Oregon. This, of course, Is easy ol demonstra tion, and Mr. Fulton will tomorrow ob tain from the Itoflamalltiu service mspt and letters showing the Interstate ehnr actor of the Klamath project. Hacked up by thp Htjor, he will reopen thn case with Mr. Hitchcock, and Is lton ful that th Umatilla project may then bo authtiritcd. No mention was indo today of any engineering or other (laws in the Umatilla project, and It Is as sumed that nothing prevents its con struction save "lack of funds," thu original memo, which has tulwoqUHUt ly been denied, JAPAN'S GdEAT NEW NAVY.
