TO WATER QREAT AREA. rialheur Butte Ditch It to Be Com pleted This Year. Ontario, Or., July 9. -The Malheur butte irrigation d tch, which was Lu process of construction last fail, owing to certain conditions was not completed as expected, and the work suspended for a time. A deal has just been con' summated between the Artesian Springs water and land company, which form erly owned the reservoirs and tbe ditch and a number of substantial business men of Weiser, Idaho, by which tbe latter are to have a controlling interest in the ditch and reiervolrs. The con sideration is $45,000, and a perpetual water right to 3,000 acres oi land under the ditch. About 70 per cent of the work on the ditches has been completed and the work remaining to be done will begin in this coming August, and will be rap idly pushed to completion, and the opinion is confidently expressed that by next spring it will De in use. Tbe es timated coat of w hat remains to be done is $30,000. Tbe Malheur butte ditch, when com plete, will be 23 miles in length, ex tending from near Vale to Dead Ox Flat and covering all the territory on tbe west side of the Malheur river from Vale to and including Dead Ox Hat This ditch will connect by means of Willow creek and another ditch above Vale 15 miles in length with three large reservoirs which will supply water during the entire season in which water is needed. These three reservoirs, which contain about 1,600 acres of water, have irrigation duty of 33,000 awes when completed. They are more than balf completed, and sufficient water is stored in this section to cover all the land in cultivation under the ditch, and as the reclamation of land continues the reservoirs will be replet ed until enough water is stored to cover the entire acreage nnder the ditch. These reservoirs are natural sites, and by tbe expenditure of about $15,000 have been placed In conditi n for use. The water is Btored in them in the win ter and early spring from Upper Wil low creec and a system of springs, thus utilizing the vast quantity of water which has formerly gone to waste and converting thousands of acres ef sage brush into alfalfa fields. DIB IN TRAIN WRECK. Twenty-Three Killed and Nine Injured In Collision. Washington, July 9. Twenty four persons were killed and three injured in a head-on collision on the Virginia Midland division ot the Southern rail way at Rockfish, Va., this afternoon. The passenger train which lei t Wash ington at 11:15 A. M. today for Atlan ta, Ga., daehed into a local freight which was standing on the main line of the road at that point, wrecking both engines and the baggage and express cars of the passenger train. The bag gage car and the second class passenger coach immediately following it were telescoped. The coach was occupied mostly by colored people. The trainmen, nnder a doctor s direc tion, cut through the panels of the baggage car and took out 20 of the dead. Probably a score of tbe Injured were removed. A special train which went from here to the scene of the wreck re turned to the city about 8 o'clock, bringing come of the dead and most of the injured. Most of the immigrants were Aus trian, and were bound for points as far distant as California. The freight train was in eharge of Conductor Brubeck and Engineer Hale, and at the time of the accident was on the return run from Lynchburg to Charlottesville. Rockfish station is midway between thete'two points and the truck there is a single one. Engin eer Hale had orders to get out of tbe wav of the fast passenger train, but, for some reason, which has not yet been explained, he bad overstayed his time, and had failed to take a siding bo that the passenger train cculd pass. The trains came, together wun a nornuie crash, and a fearful scene of panic en sued when the occupants of tbe cars re alized what had occurred. The pas senger tiain was made up ot an ex press car, a baggage car, two day coaches and two Pullman cars. Short Line It Turned Over. RU lake Citv. July 9.

The state board of capitol building commissioners have opened bids for electric lighting for the state instltu tions located here tbe statehouse, prison, asylum and blind school Only one bid was presented, that of tbe Salem light ana traction company; which holds the present contract. The proposals were for either meter or fiat rate payments for all or part of the Institutions, and lor four or ten years so that the terms offered are not easi ly Btstd, but members of the board say that the rates offered are about 30 per cent less than the state has been paying. Tbe different plans proposed will be submitted to the State engineer. C. C Lewis, who will advise the board which plan of lighting Is most advan tageous to tbe state. The Btate owns a 150-horsepower water right at the penitentiary, which can be used for about half the lighting if found ad visable. Under the new contract the state will save some $4000 a year. Bid PLACER ENTERPRISE. Rogue River around to Be Worked by Means of Dredging. A gigantic placer mining enterprise is that undertaken by the Bannock Oold Dredging Company, composed of Montana and Chicago capitalists. For a consideration of $35,000 this company has bonded nearly all of 'the placer lands of the Lower Foots Creek country, and extending along Rogue river for a distance of several miles. Between 700 and 800 acres of placer ground have been bonded by the Ban nock company. They are preparing to work the ground by dredging, and will us a machine of their own manu facture. They have had experts on the field for several months past, and a thorough prospect of the ground has been made. The gravel of the creek bed and of the bars along either side, carry high values in gold. Land Buyers In the Air. The announcement a few days ago that the secretary of the Interior has disapproved a number of "clear lists" in Oregon lieu land selections, disclos es something entirely new in the land matters In Oregon. None of the state land office attaches have ever before heard of a clar list being disapproved. This unusual action on the part of the sccietary of the interior is conclusive proof, If any further proof U neces sary, that all Oregon land matters are to be scrutinized with utmost care. The disapproval of these clear lists occasioned no small surprise, though the action Is entirely In accordance with the rules of practice in the de partment of the interior. Rich Ledge Uncovered. A new and important strike hap been made In the Waldo district by Charles Wimer and William Ross, of Grant's Pass. A wide ledge, carry ing values in both copper and gold, has been uncovered. Samples of ore from the new find are attracting much ettention. The predominating values are copper, though there is a consid erable showing of gold. The main values of the find is in its extent. Out croppings show the vein to be of great width and many hundred feet in length. It will be developed and ex plored. It lies on the same belt a? does the copper mines of Preston Peak and Iron Mountain, California. Rain Ruins Cherry Crop? The continued rains of last week practically ruined the cherry crop In Clackamas county. The Royal Anne variety, of which there was an abund ant crop, has been rendered unmarket able. The fruit has cracked badly and is now fermenting on the trees. If the rain does not cease soon extensive damage will result to hay and grain throughout the county. Witn a cnange to favorable weather, Clackamas coun ty will this year yet harvest one of the most bountiful crops that was ever raised. Seven Headed Wheat Pays. Rlirhtv nrrpn of nevAn-hpaded wheat planted at Milton by J. M. Freeman, show good prospects of a crop of 65 to 70 bushels this yesr. Mr. Freeman obtained the wheat from a German two years ago and last year naa nve icres of it. selling the product to the Ponrnrlr mill for tha game Price SR hluestem. The flour made therefrom was nearly equal In quality to tne oesr craAest nf hlnestem. and as the yield was greatly In excess, the venture ap pears profitable. This Is the second year or the experiment, ana no iar mr new wheat has only been tried on hill land. Receipts of Load Office. riork of the State Land Board, G G. Brown, has compiled his monthly statement of the receipts oi nis omc during June, showing that a total of o 97i qi ha hien received from the different sources, such as land sales, payments on certincaies, etc., ana tn th Treasurer.

That that vicinity will prove io oe one or tne great mining centers of the Northwest is now confidently expected. In addition to tha mlnlnc Int that may be developed In that section, there are also laren timber Intoroji. which await access to .market by the way or railroad communication, and t hould the Blue ledge prove to be what Clark and hin nnsoplntea think ami confidently expect it to be, these tim ber interests will be pushed along with the mining interests. Assistant In Treasurer' Office. State Treasurer Moore haa nnnoint. ed George G. Gans Jr.. to aaslRt in hl. office temporarily on account of the increase of work due to the collection of the corporation taxes. Mr. Gans was formerly a clerk in the land de partment. The last legislature made an additional appropriation for cler ical assistance in the treasury depart ment because of work incident tn the collection of the inheritance and corpo ration taxes and a permanent appoint ment under this authority will be made later. Packing Harion County Cherries. The Salem fruit cannery is having a very satisfactory run on cherries, and manager Holcomb says that the total pack of this fruit will amount to about 8000 cases. Early soft cherries were not of first-class quality, owing to an overabundance of water in them, but they will keep well. The cherry crop as a whole has been of fair quali ty and the quantity as large as was ex pected. The cannery employs an aver age of about 150 persons a day. Yamhill Will Raise Fine Stock. The H. C. Evans farm of 635 acres. near McMlnnivllle, was sold last week to Captain Foster, of Portland, for $18,000. This has been considered one of the best grain farms in Yamhill county. Captain Foster will seed the farm to clover and grass, and is now stocking the farm with high-grade stock. Many of the large farms ef Yamhill are now being changed into stock and dairy farms. Gain In Eugene Postal Receipts. Postmaster J. L. Page, in footing up the business of tbe Eugene office for the month of June, finds that the pos tal receipts at this office for that month have amounted to $1,242.59, or a gain of $466.49 over the corresponding month last year. As an indication of the improvement in business the re port is highly gratifying. Shut Down tor Summer. With few exceptions all of the log ging camps In the Lower Columbia river district have closed down for a month or six weeks. The logging companies agreed to do this so that the surplus of logs might become ex hausted and the prices maintained. Selecting Wool For Exhibition. (Hon.

A water spout of immense proportions striking in the vicinity of Oakford Park this af- trenoon created a flood that caused a great loss of life and proprety. It is known tbafjat least 20 persont were lost, and rumors placed the number of dead at more than 100, but up until a late hour tonight only two or three bodies have been recovered, baling been washed to the banks of the iitt e creek that runs parallel with the park. At 3 o'clock rain began to fall in tor rents in the vicinity of the park and spread over a territory covering prob ably ten miles. A half hour later the cloudburst occurred. The waters in the lake north of Oakford park began to swell, and Manager James McGratb. believing that there was danger of a final break in the great walls of the dam, hurried among the crowds of pleasure teekers who had gathered un der the roofs of the eating stands, the merry-go-round, the theater, dancing pavilion and other buildings in line of the water should the banks break, and warned them to mn for the hills. On both sides of the grounds there are high bills, the paik being located in a ravine about a fourth' of a mile wide and a mile long. Tbe ram continued to fall in tor rents, and about 4 o'clock a dam to tbe east, containnig 40 feet of water, gave way. Die hood beat down the ravine with a roar that was heard for two miles. A half mile down, at the junc tion of the Greensburg and Jean net te and Park car lines, the barns are lo cated. The entran e gates to the park were lifted, and with the force of a pile driver the large posts were hurled by tbe waters against the barn. BRIBE TO QOVERNOR. Missouri Boodiers Offered to Pay Him to Sign Bill. St. Louis, July 7. Ex-Governor Lon V. Stephens was before the grand Jury today for over an hour. Before enter ing the grand Jury room he had a con ference with Circuit Attorney Folk, during which he told Mr. Folk that he had been offered $20,000 while he was Governor, if he would appoint James Butler, of St. Louis, excise commis sioner., The ex-Governor also stated to Mr. Folk that after he had signed the transit bill an order was made to him to put him in on the ground floor in the purchase of stock which would eventually net him a profit of from $50,000 to $100,000. Ex-Governor Stephens said he re fused to listen to the $20,000 proposi tion for the appointment of Butler. Butler was not appointed excise com missioner, the appointment going to Charles A. . Higgins. Er-Governor Stephens also declared that he did not take advantage of the opportunity to invest in transit stock. Interesting developments are ex pected from the statements of Gover nor Stephens. It is understood that his talk with the Circuit Attorney to day is only the beginning of a line of Investigation taken up by Mr. Folk which will result In many big boodle transactions coming to light. Further Investigation will be resumed tomor row. NEW FIOHT ON THE CANAL. Enemies of Panama Want Government to Show Hand. New York, July 8. In the Colom bian senate, vigorous protests against tbe Ilay-IIerran canal treaty have been made because it does not bear the signature of President Marroqnin, says a Herald dispatch from Bogota, under date of Friday. There have been stormy discissions over this' point. Dr. Luit Carlos Rico, tbe minister of foreign affairs, delivered a two hours' address, during which he declared that the treaty should not bear tbe president's signature before final approval. Ex-President Caro, in a speech, insisted that the government should defend the treaty and not leave the responsibility to the senate. At this juncture the senate adjourned. Tbe discussion is being continued. It is said that (our members of the bouse and canal committees are decid edly in favor of the Hay-IIerran canal treaty, while three are against the measure and two are doubtful. Tbe canal campaign is now on in earnest and tbe indications are that the debate ill be protracted and definite action long delayed. Final Dividend Declared. New York, July 8. Jamea G.
