J. 1 Morgan Jr. .declined to comment on the provisions of the will. ; J. P. Morgan Jr. and his sisters waived citation and tho will probab ly will bo probated tomorrow. Tho oaths ot tho executors already havo been filed. Tho petition does not state tho value of tho estate, morcly declaring that Its value "exceeds JIO.OOO." NKW YOUK, April 21. "I com mit my soul Into tho hands of, my savior la tho full confldonco that having redeemed It, and washed it, In his most precious blood, ho will present it faultless before tho throne of my heavenly father; and I entreat my children In maintain and defend nt all hazards, and at any cost ot per sonal sacrifice, tho blessed doctrine of tho complete atonement for sin through tho blood of Jesus Christ, unco offered and through that alone." This Is tho extraordinarily striking utterance which begins tho last will and testament of John Plerpont Mor gan who died at Home March 31, whoso body heaped with flowers from the crowned heads of Kuropc, was a fortnight later brought back to his own land and last Monday borno to Its last resting placo tn Hartford. Tho amount of trusts and bequests named by specific suras is under twenty million dollars but tho cntlro residue of tho cstato Is left to J. P. Morgan, Jr., who Is designated by his father to becomo chief heir, no only to his fortune but to his many charitable and artistic activities. As to. tho document Itself it is unusual In many ot its features and according to thoso two or three in timate friends who already havo had u gllmpso of It, there Is In It a por trait of Morgan himself, beginning with tho strlk'ng confession ot his religious faith (a sldo ot his charac ter which was known to his close as sociates but not to tho world) and running through all of Its thirty seven articles duly set forth in the same logical, orderly faihion which his friends say marked all of Mor gan's mental processes. . It is worthy of tho that tho will was executed as lato as January 4 last and a codlcal attached January 0, only tho day beforo Morgan sailed from America on tho trip from which ho never returned. To Mrs. Frauces LouUa Tracy Morgan is left tho income from one million, with power to dlsposo of tho capital by will as she may elect. John Plorpont Morgan, Jr., recelv ud outright a legacy ot $3,000,000, Mrs. Herbert L. Satterlee and Mrs. William P. Hamilton married daugh ters will recelvo tho life Income from 13,000,000, aud Miss Annlo Tracy Morgan, tho unmarried daughter is similarly remembered with tho pro vIbIou that if sho marry nud havo children sho may as her sisters, dls jioso of It as who sees fit. If sho has no children sho may Ioavo her liusband ouo million. William I Hamilton aud Horbert L. Sattcrloo each receive one million outright. Vurlous relatives uro romumborcd in substantial umounts, either by an uiitrtliilit legacy or by largo trust funds ranging from'10.000 annual ly to 11,000,000. A number of closo friends nro lieuucathor substantial ainouuts or Incomes from trust funds. , Loveral closo employes received liiindsoiuo romombefances und to all employes of tho J. P. Morgan and fuimnuiiy. extent his private secre tary, Charles W. King, who Is be queathed $25,000 outright, Is given ouo year's salary. All of tho family servants except tho personal valet who receives 10,000, will recelvo $1000.

Liiiul owners nro offered a twenty year water eontraet with no payments for tho first three to five years, thus making the water pay for itself, both in inereased produc tion and added land values. Tho const met ion of the irrigation system means the construction of tho trolley line and of various other exten sive enterprises, tho financing of which, we are assured, have been completed, contingent upon tho required acre age or land being signed up for irrigation. If this chance is allowed to slip by probably never again will such a favorable contract bo offered land owners. Opportunity is knocking at our dooi-s if we don't open them, wo havo only ourselves to blame and should exper ience, and probably "will experience, real hard times to bring our land owners to our senses. Several thousand acres have been signed up, nearly all owners of small tracts. Tho large owners, many hold ing for speculative purposes, are conspicuous by their absence. Yet how can they expect to either sell or en hance the value of the land, without irrigation'? ' Kcail Mr. Xcill's letter over. "While he minimizes the present productivity and possibilities, and quotes the only shipper in the vallev that attempts to market culls as fruit, in the main he states the truth. The trouble with the val lev is that the balance of trade is against it for lack of suf ficient production, due not only to young orchards not being in bearing, but to lack of irrigation. If vou want prosperity, POLICE GRAFT SAX FIIAXCISCO, Cat.. April 21. Following alleged eonfe-sioiw on the part or A.

The three alleged bunco men wero examined by parties outs-ide o the loliec department nt tho order of Superior Judges Dunn nnd Liiunuis. It is staled that they confessed to operations which netted them .fl00,- 000 or more, nnd accused live mem bers of the police department of aiding nud nbctting them for protec tion money. FAR FUND IS $1104 Jack-on county's allotment for its fair this year is $170-1 nccording to word received from Salem. Secretary of State Oleolt says that tho law 'enacted by the Iitrt Iegitdaturc repeals ull existing laws providing for district fairs, but au thorizes a county fair in each coun ty. If a county fair is already or ganized or tin agricultural society has been holding county fairs then that organization or society is to be recognized as tho official county fair. Nut if no county fair is now in existence then the county court is authorized to appoint u county fair board. An annual appropriation cijual to one-twentieth of a mill iiiwi tlio tax able procrty is mado for tho sup port of the Tairs, and if it is not used for fairs it is to lie npplicd on tho improvement of the county roads.

THIRTY DAYS TIME I0JE WATER (Continued from pago 1.) more liberal contract Is that they deal In n forelRn Jnoncy market whuro bettor terms can Ito seen rod. I havo looked up tho Interests buhlud this Kngllsh syndicate and know them to bo sound nud strong. If the peoplo should sign up with thorn, thousands and thousands of dollars would be put in this valloy aud e cry one would be benefitted. Xow Is Time to Sign Up We gavo this option then bcllevlug tlvat tho ranch owners dnslrcd a more liberal contract than wo were able to finance. If thu fruitgrowers and ranch owners desire to purchaso their water on a 20 year basis, wo earnestly urga them to get busy and sign up for tho acreago asked by tho Kugllsh syndicate. If the ranch owners do not accept tho English company's offer, how ever, by signing up at once tho re quired amount ot acreage, and our company continues In thu field, and is called upon to flnanco and build the cjnaH. wo will be unablo.to flnanco the 20 year contract. Our arrangements have all been based upon a 10 year contract. Wo aro prepared to carry out this ar rangement through our financial backing, and aro ready, ablo and will ing at all times to comply with our agreements as outlined In tho 10 year contract as proposed by tho English syndicate. Thu purposo of this letter Is to notify tho farmers nnd ranch owners that If they desire a more liberal contract that tho 10 year contract put out by tho Itoguo Itlvor Valley Canal company, and published In tho Mcdford press, they should at once sign up tho contract and meet the requirements of the English syndi cate, thereby enabling thorn to tako over the property and holdings of tho Itogua Itlvor Valley Canal company under their option, which oxplros on May '.'Oth next. Action Is linpcrntlto It certainly behooves tho land owner of tho Itoguo Itlvor valley to at on co commence producing, If ho expects to hold tho present land val ues. Tho Itoguo Itlvor valley shipped In tho past year In tho neighborhood of 700 cars of fruit, l'osslbly 40 per cent of that fruit was a commercial fruit, owing to tho process of thin ning, and tho exceptionally good caro taken to retain tho moisture In tho ground by continuous cultivation and mulching. Tho other CO per cent put tho producers In red Ink, largoly through undersized fruit, as Bhown by tho hooks of tho Producers Fruit company, a table of which has been published In tho locai press, and kindly received through Mr. Kinney, tho manager of tho company, who will bo Klad to verify tho tublo as published In tho papers.
