RECLAMATION OF KLAMATH
United States Engineer Starts for the
Field to Push the Work.
San Francisco, Cal., May 28. E. G.
Perkins, an engineer in the United
States reclamation service, geological
department, lelt tonight for the north,
where he is to start the enormous re
clamation works in the Klamath basin,
for which the sum of $4,400,000 has
been appropriated.
This work will probably be the larg
est in this part of the country, and the
land that is to be reclaimed will be
able to support a population of at least
100,000 souls.
There is to be little delay in the be
ginning of the reclamation project, and
Mr. Perkins is going north to look over
the ground and commence operations.
According to estimates of engineers
there is embraced in Klamath basin 6,
505 acres of public lands and 42,825
acres of private lands, making a total
of 48,330 acres. The valleys of Langell,
Alkali and Poor will be reclaimed, and
as this land is said to be among the
richest in this part of the country, it
will not be a matter of difficulty to get
people to settle there.
It is only within the past few years
that the cattlemen have attempted to
cultivate that land. For years it was
given over to the pasturing of stock and
the only feed that was given the cattle
during the winter months was from the
tule hay cut on the borders of Tule
lake. Some few years ago a company
brought water on the land along the
northern shores of Tule lake and alfalfa
was planted and also orchards were
put in.
NO BOYCOTT BY CHINESE.
Minister Conger Ridicules Talk of
Revenge for Exclusion.
Leavenworth, Kan., May 26. Edwin
H. Conger, ex-minister to China, is
visiting his daughter at Fort Leaven
worth. Mr. Conger is on his way to
his new post in Mexico. "Tne talk of
the Chinese retaliating against the ex
clusion law by boycotting American
made goods is amusing to me," said
Mr. Conger today. "Of course you
know how American politics are run ;
well, the Chinese were politicians be
fore America was discovered. They
know more tricks than their American
brethren.
"While much of the agitation has
occurred since I left China, there was
some prior to that. At these mass
meetings of merchants, as they were
called, there was a liberal sprinkling of
politicians and possibly one Xt more
merchants who had been run in. The
politicians did most of the talking and
then the news was spread broadcast
that the merchants would boycott
American goods.
' I believe that the truth of the mat
ter is that the Chinese merchants have
no idea of boycotting American goods.
They are in business to make money,
and there is a demand for American
goods."
GREAT BATTLE IS DUE SOON
Linievitch Tries to Assume Offensive,
. but Oyama is Ready.
St. Petersburg, May 26. The news
from the front continues to point to the
proximity of fighting on a large scale.
Lieutenant General Linievitch sent
Lieutenant General Rennenkampff's
Cossacks on a daring expedition around
Field Marshal Oyama s left. Rennen-
kampff succeeded in getting to the rear
of the Japanese, but he paid dearly,
bis Cossacks being badly cut up.
Many believe that General Linievitch
is trying to take the offensive out of
Marshal Oyama's hands. The latter
has made all preparations against the
possible interruption of his communi
cations, and the cessation of tranpsort
service from Japanese ports. All rein
forcements available and immense
quantities of provisions and munitions
of war have been landed at Yinkow and
Dalny since Vice Admiral Rojestvensky
appeared in the straits of Malacca.
Newspaper correspondents at the
front are prevented by the censor from
telegraphing any intelligent view of the
situation, and this has always been the
precursor of important developments.
General Linievitch has taken far great
er precautions than did General Kuro
patkin to prevent his plans fro leaking
out.
President Willing to Act.
New York, May 26. William F.
King,' ex-president of the New York
Merchants' association, has received a
reply from President Roosevelt to Mr.
King's suggestion that a national com
mittee be named to investigate the
affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance
society. Mr. King regards the reply as
favorable. One paragraph from the
president's letter was as follows: "The
department (of Commerce and Labor)
is now carefully going into the matter,
to see whether the government has any
power or not."
Magoon and Wallace on the Zone
Colon, May 26. Charles G. Ma
goon, governor of the Panama canal
zone, and John F. Wallace, chief en
gineer of the canal, arrived here today
from New York and started for Panama
at once.' -
RIOTING IS RESUMED
Chicago Police Resort to Clubs
to Preserve Peace.
BUILDING TRADES ARE INVOLVED
No Prospect of Immediate Settlement
and Mayor and Peace Com-
, mittee Give Up Hope.
Chicago, May 27. Rioting broke out
afresh today in the teamsters strike,
and although nobody was seriously
hurt, there were a number of vicious
fights in the lumber district, during
which the police were compelled to use
their clubs, and in one instance revolv
ers, in order to disperse the mob.
The strike Unlay spread in a small
degree throughout the building trades.
There were a number of instances
where woodworkers refused to receive
the material delivered by non-union
teamsters and walked out. This move
in every instance was made by the men
as individuals only. No oflicUl action
was taken by any of the trades unions
looking- to the active sympathetic sup
port of the teamsters' strike. Several
of the labor leaders in the ranks of the
material trades have declared within
the last 24 hours that there is no pro
pect in their opinion, of any complete
tie up of the building trades by a strike
of the men.
There is no movement at present
looking towards a settlement of the
strike. Mayor Dunne today for the
first time since the commencement of
the teamsters' strike declared that he
knew of no contemplated plans for
peace. The mayor talked as though he
bad abandoned hopes of a settlement.
Dever, chairman of the City Council
Peace committee, appointed a week ago,
said tonight that he had practically
ceased work, as the committees could
see no avenue in the controversy look
ing toward an adjustment of the differ
ences between the teamsters andj the
employers.
NEW GOVERNOR IN OFFICE.
Magoon Tells Plans of Commission
for Canal Zone.
Panama, May 27. Hexekiah A.
Gudge, judge of the canal sone, this
morning administered the oath of oft'iee
to Charles G. Magoon, governor of the
canal sone, in the A noon district. The
ceremony took place in the presence of
President Amador and the cabinet, the
diplomatic and consular corps and
prominent native and foreign residents.
Governor Magoon, in his inaugural
speech, said the reorganization of the
canal commission had resulted in the
centralization of authority and transfer
of power from Washington to Panama,
permitting the putting of more energy
into the work. Regarding the work
of sanitation, the governor said that no
effort and ho expense would be spared
to make the zone healthy. He said
that the number of judges in the tone
will be increased, that a jurist of Fana
ma will be appointed a member of the
Supreme court and numerous schools
will be opened.
LEWISTON GOES LAND MAD.
Railway Projects Make Real Estate

Lewiston, Idaho, May 27. In antic
ipation of favorable news for immediate
railway construction in thic territory.
people of Lewiston have been struck
with a frenzied fever to buy real estate,
and while no deals have come to the
surface today, it is known that transac
tions involving over $100,000 have
been made.
This excitement was strengthened
this evening by rumors to the effect
that the O. R. & N. Co. will begin con
struction Monday, under a joint ar
rangement with the Northern Pacific,

officials here will not confirm this re
port, but from other sources it is known

Drives People to the Hills.
Albuquerque, N. M., May, 27. The
Rio Grande, swollen to a river almost
a m l) wide, is flowing through the
middle of the village ot Tome, 20 miles
south of Albuquerque, while the 600
inhabitants of the village are camping
on the hill and watching their homes
being swept away. The entire prop
erty of the villagers is destroyed, along
with their crops. A strong dike had
been built along the river north and
south of the village, and it was be
lieved that, no matter what the rise
this spring, the village was safe.
