Eolnc. our hatching of trout has come
practically to naught. In streams
whero Irrigation intakes are numer
ous. Trout released, follow these
currents caused by tho Inflow of wa
ter Into Irrigation canals. In a short
distance, owing to the segregation of
tho water, they find things very un
comfortable, because of the tempera
ture of the water, which gradually
grows moro shallow, until tho Intake
is closed, when millions of fish are
left to dlo on open fields. Of a mil
lion trout released, It Is safe to es
timate that scarcely moro than 100,
000 live on this account. Tho law
provides that screens of the right
character shall be provided at the ex
pense of tho owner of the ditch con
cerned, "The acceptance of a screen Is
another delicate matter. It Is my
policy not to impose a hardship up
on any ditch owner. Wo had have a
number of devices submitted for our
consideration. Some of them keep
out tho fish, all right, but they are
easily clogged and soon keep out the
water, as well. Others aro too com
plicated and still others too expen
sive. WTe are trying to secure a de
sign that wllll be effective, Inexpen

have ono that will do the work. One
of its 'strongest features is that it

owner with material lying around

PORTLAND, Or., July 18. Ex
cessive rates of interest are resjHHi
sible in u 'great degree for the high
cost of living on the Pacific Coast,
according to Percival Roberts, jr., a
director of the Pennsylvania railroud
and the United States Steel corpora
tion, who is in Portland today.
"If u man is paying from 8 to 10
per cent on the murtguge on his prop
erty it advances tho cost of Ids liv
ing more than do u few dollars nn
tho jirico of a suit of clothes," he
"said. It does not seem right thai
the pcoplo out here should be com
pelled to pay such heavy interest
rates when in the east money goes
begging at Wj and 4 per cent."
Roberts will join James McCrcu,
president of the Pennsylvania com
pany, with whom he is travelling
through tho west, nt Seattle, whence
they will sail for Alasku.

men was drowned when the vessel
went to pieces, today announced that
he would ask F. M. Rudolph of Loin
poc to come to Los Angeles and tes
tify before the court of inquiry.
"Rudolph told my son, E. V. llew
son of Pasadena, 'that the Santa
Rosa was deliberately put ash'ore"
said Hewson. "Rudolph declares he
was remonstratiug with Captain
Faria about the Santa Rosa's course
shortly before the vessel struck. Ru
dolph said that a deck hand told him
of an attempt to bench the Sauia
Rosa the last trip down but that Cap
tain Alexander had frustrated the
plan." ' '
The probe into the disaster was re
sumed at 9:30 a. m. today by In
spectors Holies and Rulger.
NEW YORK. July 38i Proof
that Standard Oil baeked the Mil
lion uprising in Mexico is seen by
Wall Street politicians hero today in
the visit of Lord Cowdray, the Mrif
ish financier who-e syndicate hold-
immense oil deposits, obtained
through concessions from President
Dine, despite lite fuel that the
Standard Oil company was a ladder
for the same properties.
With these concessions, Cowdray's
syndicate was in position to force
Standard Oil to reduce prices or suf
fer disastrous competition. The
charge was openly made and strenu
ously denied that the Standard
finuueed Madero's revolution in re
turn for a promise he made to can
cel the Cowdray conceons.
It is now reported that Cowdray.
is tryimr to sell his concessions to the
Standard after having vainly tried
to dispose of them to John W
Gates.
