ard for Dirigibles Same as Navy.
London, April 6. Great Britain
seems to be awakening to the fact that
the other nations of the world are leav
ing her behind in tho race for command
of the air.
While the members of the house of
commons were drawing the attention
of the government to the fact that Ger
many has built or is building dirigible
airship and ursring the government to
take up with energy the construction
of a British fleet, there was being held
today a meeting in the Mansion House
under the chairmanship of the lord
mayor of London in support of the
sunt subject.
Among those present were Admiral
Charles Beresford, Prince Louis of
Battenburg, Lord Curzon, Sir Hiram
Maxim and Admiral Sir Percy Scott,
all of who heartily supported energetic
action.
Admiral Scott advocated a "two
power" standard in airships as well aa
in dreadnaugbts, and mentioned inci
dentally that the navy had designed a
bcw gun which at a distance of 6,000
feet could be exceedingly destructive
to war airships.
WISE ON PLUMS.
Wizard Burbank Has 617 Varieties on
His Place.
Santa Rosa, Cal., April C- That the
several varieties of toothsome plums
now known to fruit lovers are destined
to be relegated to tho list of forgotten
delicacies is the belief of Luther Bur
bank, the plant wizard of this city.
"I am now experimenting with 617
distinct varieties of plums," said Bar
bank today, "any one of which I be
lieve is superior to any plums now
known to the world. For the past few
months I have been working and ex
perimenting with this fruit and in tak
ing an inventory of tho results I havo
found that I have on my ranch at least
C17 plums of which the layman has
never heard."
Burbank has recently evolved a fivo
leaf clover and states that an addition
al leaf will be forthcoming in the near
future.
Czar Will Go Voyaging.

yacht Standart, escorted by a division
of the Baltic fleet and torpedo boats,
and will go to Stockholm, Christiana
and Copenhagen, and perhaps thence to
England, to return King Edward's
visit during the summer. This is the
first extensive imperial trip projected
since 1901.
Starvation or Massacre.
London, April G A special dispatch
from Teheran, describing the situation
at Tabriz, says there is no doubt that a
great tragedy is close at hand. If Ta
briz holds out against the Invaders, the

starvation. If Tabriz falls, probably
tens of thousands will be massacred.
The rest of the country, however, looks
on with traditional Eastern apathy,

UNITED STATES AROUSED.
Nicaraguan President Must Account
for Mutilating Papers.
Washington, April 9. Niesraguan
mutilation of official dispatches to this
government and continued grave con
ditions in Central America, are under
earnest consideration of the Washing
ton government, investigation havo
convinced the officials here that cipher
dispatches passing between John H.
Gregory, the American chargo at Man
agua, Nicaragua, and the State depart
went at Washington were purposely
mutilated.
It would not bo surprising, in view
of the unsatisfactory conditions, if tho
American government should tako ac
tive steps to end the existing state of
affairs In Central America and notify
Nicaragua that henceforth peace must
prevail at all hazards.
Moral suasion with Nicaragua has
failed to accomplish tho object sought
that of impressing bor with the de
sire both of the United States and

OREGON STATE ITEMS. OF INTEREST
NEW PROJECTS FOR OREQON
Reclamation Service Makes Three Fil
ings In Eattern'Oregon,
Salem More Irrigation projects are
in view for Eastern Oregon. The
United States reclamation service has
made three important filings on Eastern
Oregon streams within tho past few
days. Tho filings were mado on the
Umatilla, Owyhee and Malheur rivers
and are on record In the office of the
stato engineer.
At Uils time tho tilings aro not defl
nlto enough to admit of any enlarge
ment upon tho proposed projects that
the United States government expects
to make. The tilings must bo approved
and several months will bo consumed
before any tiling of a doflnito nature can
result from them.
The topographical surveys that have
been made in Eastern Oregon are the
most valuable means whereby feasible
reclamation projects are discovered.
At tho last session of tho legislature an
attempt was mado to Increase tho ap
propriation from $6,000 to 120,000 an
nually for making these surveys. Tho
bill passed the houso but failed to pass
the senate.
The bill failed mainly becauso the
Eastern Oregon senators opposed it.
those representing tho section to be
most benefited by tho appropriation.
Consequently, tho Irrigation projects
must come more slowly. tor every
dollar tho stato appropriates for the
toitographlcal surveys the United btates
appropriates another dollar. Hod tho
bill that was piloted through the houso
by Representative Rusk passed tho sen
ate $40,000 a year would havo been
available.
The stato engineer has gono to Wy
oming to study the workings of tho
water code of that state, which was the
model from which was formed Oregon s
new code. Mr. Lewis expects to bo
absent about 10 days or two weeks.
NORMAL GETS LITTLE AID.
Eastern Oregon Indifferent a to Fate
of Institution.
Weston J. O. Russel, physical di
rector and teacher of mathematics at
the Weston normal, has returned from
an Eastern Oregon trip In the Interests
of the school. Among the places vis
ited were Hermiston, Arlington, Cove,
La Grando and Elgin.
Mr. Russoll reports that ho met with
much popular misconception as to the
nature and sphere of normal school
work, and the financial encouragement
offered was rather slim. For instance,
the La Grande subscription toward
running the school until tho end of the
present year, which cloecs with com
mencement May 25, was only $SC. In
Mr. Russell's view there Is no hope
for any general assistance throughout
Eastern Oregon toward continuing the
school until such time ai it would be
possible to obtain state aid by means
of tho Initiative measure, which it Is
proposed to subpmlt at the November
election in 1910.
Smuggled Oats, Says O. R. & N.
Salem -Complaint Is mado against
tho Frank L. Smith Meat company by
tho Oregon Railroad & Navigation
company before tho railroad commis
sion for fatso billing, by which, It is
claimed, the meat company smuggled
60 sacks of oats Into Portland with a
consignment of baled hay from Hutch
inson spur. It is the contention of the
attorneys for tho Oregon Railroad &
Navigation company that persons and
corporations other than railroad com
panics may bo found guilty of a misde
meanor under the railroad commission
act of 1907, snd that when the corpora
tion by false billing obtains transpor
tation for less than the published tariff
it may be prosecuted, and if found
guilty, be subject to a flno of not less
than $60 or more than $1,000.
Improve Drewsey-Burns Road.
Drowsy A new road Is being made
this week over the Drowsoy mountain,
which is crossed by passengers en
route to Burns. When completed tho
road will bo greatly improved. Here
tofore It has been so steep as to moke
it difficult for horses to pull oven an
empty wagon, and the drlvo down has
been very dangerous. Tho new road Is
being cut around tho mountain.
State Gets 8hlp's Guns.
Salom Governor Benson hos re
ceived a letter from Secretary of the
Navy George L. von Meyer, stating
that tho 13-Inch guns of tho Oregon

sequently cannot bo given to tho ntato

stood tho government will send two of
tho 0-inch guns to Salem for tho stuto

Land to Be Thrown Open.
Salem Tho desert land board, at its
meeting In tho statehouso decided to
grant tho application of the Deschutes
irrigation & rower company and tnrow
open the company's segregation of
about 8,000 acres. Tho land opened is
known as list No. 0. Tho protest or
A. Mr Drake, of Portland, was thus
overruled.
LOADS MUST OE HEAVY.
Some Absurd Blunders In New Ore
,gon Road Law.
Snlem- Among tho quaint and curi
ous blunders of the recent session of
tho Oregon legislature was the passage
of a bill making It unlawful to drlvo a
wagon on any Improved road west of
the Cascado rang?, weighing with Its
burden less than 2,600 pound. Tho
bill Is house bill No. 81, and is design
ed to protect tho ronda from the result
of overloading narrow-tiro wagons.
The bill was reforred to tho houso
commltteo on roads and highways and
by them amended and jumbled up.
Section 2 gives county courts authority
to regulate tho weight of all loads of
various commodities, between tho first
day of October and tho first day of May
of each year. Section 3 was amended
to rend, In referring to tho sulght of
loads that may bo hauled :
"And tho maximum weight thereof
shall not bo mado less than 2,600
pound nor mora than 3,000 pounds for
any vehicle having tires of any width
less than four Inches, nor less that 3,
600 pound nor mora than 4,600 pounds
for any chlclo having tires of mora
than four Inches and less than alx inch
es In width, nor less than 4,600 pounds
for any vehicle having tires of six
inches or more in width," etc.
The bill la Intended to apply to coun
ties wholly or In part west of tho Cas
cado range.
Any violation may be punished by
county courts for contempt of court.
