NO. It Is Now Only $I.7S Per Capita, Ac cor ling to Ware’s Report. Washington, Sept. 12.—The annual report of Commissioner of Pensions Ware places the total numlier of pen sioners now on the rolls at 996,646, of which 726,356 are eoldiere and 267,189 are widows and dependents. Mr. Ware announced that it is not probable that the pension roll will again cross the million line, the high water mark having been reached a year ago. Five of tbs pensioners are on the roll on ac count of the war of the revolution 1,- 116 on account of the war of 1812, 4,- 734 on account of the Indian ware, and 13,874 on account of the Mexican war. The average value of each pension is now $133. The total annual value of the Spanish war pen-ion roll has .eached $1,766,310. Commissioner Ware makes the fol- lowing recommendations: I j » w forfeiting the pension or right to pension of any man convicted in court of an infamous crime; prohibit ing the giying of pensions to women who marry eoldiere after the eoldiere become old pensioners; a different method of examining applicants for pensions, Mr. Ware stamping the pres ent system as uncertain, expensive, un satisfactory and generative of an enor mous amount of political friction. Mr. Ware says the bureau has gained on the current work 100,000 cases dur ing the last two year». I be actual to tal of disbursement» in pensions on ac count of the Revolutionary war. War of 1812, Indian wars, Mexican war, Civil war and the war with Spain was $3,038,623,690. The coet of the pen sion system per capita of population, for 1903, is given as $1.75, to which figure it has shrunk from $2.24, the tate of 1893. In 10 years, he says, the burden will cease to be noted. PANAMA MAY CONCEDE. Defeat of Canal Treaty Likely to Cause Revolution In Colombia. New York, Sept. 12.—Representa tives of strong interests on the isthmus of Panama who make their headquarters in thia city are reported to be consider ing a plan of action to be undertak tn in co-oepration with men of similar views in Panama and Colon to bring about a revolution and form an inde pendent government in Panama op posed tn that in Bogota. There is much perturbation on the isthmus on account of the failure of the ranal treaty, which is ascribed to the authorities at Bogota, and the na tives of Panama think it is to their best interest for a new republic to be formed on the isthmus which may ne gotiate directly with the United States for a new treaty. Caught Making Counterfeit Coin. Newark, N. J., Kept. 12.—Three men have been arrested in a house in Mul berry street in the act of making coun terfeit silver coin. In the place were found silver in liars, melting pots, a milling machine, machine for trim ming and finishing the coins and a quantity of coins in .11 stages of manu facture. One of the men, who gave the name of Frank Donahue, is suspected of being a New York policeman. A photograph, apparently of himself, in uniform, and a policeman’s shield was found on him. HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON STATE FAIR PROSPECTS. Fine FxhlMts and Fast Racing Draw Large Attendance. WATER WORKS WONDERS. Will Kalama th Prospects for the coming Oregon state fair, to be held in September 14 to 19. are most flattering. The fain will excel in the line of exhibits and' attendance any state fair held hereto fore in Oregon. The abundant crops insure a spelnedid showing of grains, and the fact that the commissioners to the St. I»uis exposition are co-operat Ing to secure the best that Is shown here for use next year means that the exhibits, especially in the agrricultural line, will be of the very best. The live stock department, too, promises better this year than any preceding year. Breeders are preparing large exhibits In this department, which has caused the association to build a large number of new stalls. Governor Sparks of Reno. Nev., is sending a very fine herd of Hereford cattle from the Ala mo stock farm, which will meet compe tition in herds shown by C.B.Wade of Pendleton. A. J. Splawn of North Ya kima, George Chandler of Baker City, Gilbert & Patterson of Salem. In the shorthorn section exhibits will be made by Charles E Ladd. C. B Wade, W. O. Minor, Metsker & Klemgard and oth ers. The racing will be made a feature of this year’s fair. A large number of high class horses have already made their entries, coming from California. Montana. Colorado. Utah. Washington and British Columbia. The two big stakes of $2000 will arouse keen com petition. These are the largest stakes ever raced for in the northwest and the best horses will compete for them that have ever been seen on the cir cuit. The grounds are in spelendid condidtlon and the beautiful oak grove, will furnish plenty of shade and com fort for a week's outing. The buildings are all In splendid condition, and the new show building will furnish comfort to hundreds of spectators who wish to see the judging of live stock. ACQUIRE FRESH PROPERTIES. State Treasurer C. 3. Moore, who has just returned from a month's out ing in Klamath county, reports that all Industrial affairs In that section of the Htate are prosperous and that the coun try surrounding Klamath 1-ake ia steadily developing. Irrigation ditch es are being enlarged and extended and the producing area gradually enlarged, the hay crop of that region is enor mous and since prices are up the farm-, ers are making money. “The productiveness of that sage brush land when water is put on it is amazing," said Mr. Moore. “There ia a large tract of land out south of Low er Klamath lake that I used to drive ever frequently a few years ago. I would not give ten cents an acre for It without water on It. A man could not live on it. This summer I drove through that same country and Instead of a dry, sage-brush plain, I saw fields covered with an immense crop of wheat and land that has already yielded one <.rop of alfalfa and has another crop almost ready for cutting. One tract of 1000 acres of that apparently worthlesa land produced 25,000 bushels of wheat 1200 tons of alfalfa already this season. I am told that the owners o( that tract of land, which was covered with sage brush three years ago, will clear up from $15,000 to $20,000 this year. The land is owned by Henry E. An keny and Roscoe Cantrell, and is irri gated from their ditch. I do not know what they paid for the land, but it is quite certain that they have already realized all they ever put into it, and could now sell ft for at least one-third more than it has cost them, counting all Improvements. This simply illus trates the wonderfuld productiveness of that soli if you can only get water on It.” EL'OENB PEOPLE TAKE HOLD. Arc Determined to Make the Diatrfct Fair a Success.
