For Uovernment Work fieorge Conn this week addressed a a letter to Senator Mitchell asking him to ue his Influence to obtain u survey of the Chewnucan valley with the object of its reclamation under the national irrigation law. Mr. Conn estimated the land suitable for agriculture ami outside that held by private ownership or being reclaimed by private enterprise at tot ween ,"(),- 0.K) and 75,000 acres. He pet forth the feasibility of its reclamation by building storage reservoirs in the mountain and the reasonable cost of such work. He dwelt upon the feas tility of the soil and Its .ndaptiblllty to all kinds of cereals, fruits and veg etables. The government proceeds In such matters to detail an engineer to make necessary surveys, determine the character of the soli, measure the water supply unappropriated, and estimate the cost of Irrigation works and In the meantime the land Is with drawn from entry except under the homestead law and the right is re nerved to limit the homestead to less than 160 acres. The choice of recla mation project is left entirely to the Judgment of the executive and the entire fund is available for use in anj part of the arid west. Therefore it depends upon the showing made v. he t her government aid is secured or not. I,ake county lias a claim on the favor of the department from the fact that last year alone the Lakeview land office sent over four hundred thousand dollars to the reclamation fund. less the government takes hold of this work it may lie delayed many years and one of the fluent tracts of land in Oregon go unculti vated. Mr. Conn has made a move In the right direction. Paisley 1'ost. Land Fraud Cases Postponed. The beginning of the land fraud trials was signalled May 2 in the I'nited States District Court when L'rnma L. Watson was arraigned on the charge of conspiracy to defraud the I'nited States jovernment. Mrs. Watson's attorneys demurred to the indictment, but Judg! Hellinger overruled the demurrer ami Mrs. Watson pleaded not guilty. Owing to the fact that the prow en t Ion was unprepared to commence Mrs. Watson's ease and those of the others alleged to be implicated in the so-called "land fraud ring" were postponed until May I8th, although the attorneys for the defense fought hard against the continuation. The case of Charles Cunningham, the Eastern Oregon "sheep king," who is also under arrest, charged with defrauding the government of public land, was continued until today. The cases of T. A. Wood and Hosea Wood, charged with for geiy of nflidavlts for pension claims, was set to be heard May Oth. I'p at Dead the thing that lias most worried the tovns)eopl- was to kno.v whetli'-r or not they were observing city ttiijiiette by keeping on the sidewalks. Toaleviate their embarrassment the city authorities recently marked out tho blocks and streets with a plow. There Is only one thing that now bothers pedes trians, and that is to l:nov what street they are on; suitable names' have not yet been selected for the nu merous streets of Dead. Weather Report V. N.
