EVENTS IN OREGON
40,000 Acres to N-ll in Klamath.
Klamath Falls The Klamath
Waterusers' Association la about to
Inaugurate a campaign of advertis
ing for the purpose of assisting land
owners under the Irrigation project
to dispose of their excess lands. It
Is estimated that the excess acreage
will reach about 40,000 acres, which,
according to the contract with the
Government, must be sold within a
few years. The association Is to
give publicity to these lands through
out the agricultural districts of the
East and Midlife West, thereby ren
dering the owners valuable assist
ance In the disposal of the excess
holdings.
The Waterusers' Association has
also practically completed all ar
rangementB by means of which the
landowners under the system can
take small contracts for the con
struction of laterals and portions of
the canal, taking in payment script,
which Is the equivalent of cash in
the paymeut of dues for water rights
It is thought that through this plan
most of the laterals of the system
will be built by the landowner, who
all have a few months of each when
they are not rushed with work on the
farm. Many of the ranchers will
construct tho laterals that art needed
on their own lands, and others are
figuring on going into the business
on an extensive scale. It la thought
that by this method the work can bt
done as cheaply as by contract, or
by force account, the farmers getting
the benefit.
l ined for Working Long Hours.
Albany Last week State Lahoi
Commissioner O. P. Ho ft descended
on tills city and arrested L. E. Ham'
llton, proprietor of Hamilton's Ba
sunr, und one of the city's leading
merchants, on a charge of vollatlng
the state labor law prohibiting the
working of female employes over 10
hours, and fined $25 and costs.
Hamilton's arrest followed repeat
ed warnings on the part of the Stats
Labor Commissioner and his depu
ties, who had served notice on all
the employers in the city to comply
with the law, but to no effect. It
has been the custom in this city to
keep the stores open Saturday even
ing until 9 o'clock, and women clerks
as well as men have been forced to
work Saturdays from 12 to 18 hours,
Mr. Hoffff stated that he would not
muke any additional arrests at pres
ent, as he believed this would serve
us a warning to uny other business
men violating the law.
"Before I am through," said Com
missioner Hoff, "I Intend to visit ev
ery town in the state and see that
the labor law Is strictly enforced.
In the past this feature has not been
enforced to the letter, as I believed
employers should bo first given
knowledge of the law's requirements.
I have now notified employer!
throughout tho principal towns and
cities of the state, and If they do not
comply they wll! be prosecuted."
Damauscus farmer. The boy Is 19 j
years of age and has been taken to
the state Insane asylum. On the
Brelthaupt place five acres were set
out in peach trees, and this year they
bore so plentifully that a 12500 crop
was taken off the small tract. Brelt
haupt and bis sons worked early and
late to pick the fruit and ship it to
market, in order to supply the de
mand. The boy thought, talked and
dreamed of peaches until his en
thusiasm unbalanced his mind, but
it Is expected that treatment In the
state hospital will bring about a re
turn of his reason.
