BAD QUAKE IN ITALY.
Large Area Badly Shaken—Dead Num
ber About 50.
Rome, June 8.—Great apprehension
has been caused again by seismic dis
turbances showing that the zone affect-
ed by the earthquake shocks today is a
vast one, embracing practically the
whole of Southern Italy, as well as a
portion of Tuscany and Venitia to the
north.
Some reports estimate the number
of dead at 50, and of injured at several
hundred. It is feared that many are
buried in the ruins of buildings thrown
down at Calitri. It is said that in
this town half the buildings have been
wrecked and the number of dead is
above 35.
From many other towns and villages
come stories of fallen homes, death and
suffering. At San Sole, in the pro
vince o f Potensea, six persons were
killed and five injured.
The convicts
in the prison at Bonavento became
panic-stricken and tried to force their
way past the guards, but were over
powered by troops.
The district in which the most seri
ous damage occurred extends for only
about 50 miles about Mount Vulture,
in the province of Avellino.
This region has suffered much in the
past from earthquake shocks and in

SILETZ BILL IS PASSED.
Farmers Near Redmond Install Pump
ing Plant in Deep Canyon.
Redmond — Pumping water from
Crooked river to the table lands 600
feet above the river is an experiment
being tried here.
M. M. Davenport
and Neil Christenson have just com
pleted a pumping plant which raises
water by means of an overshot water
wheel and supplies their homesteads on
the peninsula.
The project is a remarkable under
taking. The Deschutes river and its
tributary, Crooked river, lie in gorges
500 to 1,000 feet deep, the walls being
nearly perpendicular.
At the point
where the Davenport-Christenson pump
is installed it is necessary to raise the
water 600 feet over four perpendicular
ledges, the highest of which is 75 feet.
The undertaking, when commenced
last fall, looked like a mammoth job.
The hardest part was to get the neces
sary materials to the place where the
wheel was to be installed. All the
material was lowered from the plains
600 feet above to the water’s edge. A
wheel seven feet in diameter and two
feet eight inches across the face was
built. The machinery and flume were
arranged and securely fastened to the
rocks to prevent them from being
washed away by high water.
Eleven
hundred and sixty feet o f pipe are used
in making the raise of 625 feet. Tests
of the plant have proved highly suc
cessful.
Hawley’s Measure Adopted in House
—Will Next Go to Senate.
Washington — Representative Haw
ley has succeeded in passing through
the house his bill directing the patent
ing of a considerable number of home
stead entries in the Siletz reservation.
As passed by the house, Hawley’s bill
provides: “ That all pending home
stead entries heretofore made within
the former Siletz Indian reservation,
upon which proofs were made prior to
December 31, Bhall be passed to patent
in all cases where it shall appear to
the satisfaction of the secretary of
the interior that the entry was made
for the exclusive use and benefit
of the entryman, and that the entry-
man built a house on

pation thereof, and cultivated a por
tion of said land for the perioo required
by law, and that no part of the land
entered has been sold or conveyed or
contracted to be sold or conveyed by
the entryman, and where no contest or
other adverse proceedings was com
menced against the entryman, and no
tice thereof served upon the entryman,
prior to the date of submission of the
proof thereon, or within two years
thereafter, provided, that nothing
therein contained shall prevent or fore
