PORTLAND, May 1.-THE treasury de-
partment has accepted the offer of Col.
John McCraken, and will take his block
at $3.50. 600 as the site for the new custom
house building in this city. Other bids
were far below him, and the gift of fine
site in Alblna, rendered by J. B. Mont
gomery, was rejected. Col. McCraken
purchased the block which he sold to the
government from Burnside < Ripley for
mere trife in 1857. The deed to the
property is dated November II, 1857.
The surrounding country was then a
wilderness. The block was as far, dis
tant from town as some of the present
suburbs, and many thought that Col.
McCraken's speculation was not a wise
one. At that time the block was covered
with pine trees and brush. Col Nc
Craken kept the property, however,
and 1t steadily increased in value. Burn
Eside & Ripley, who sold the block to
Col. McCraken purchased it from Capt.
John H. Couch.
In 1872 Col. McCraken obtained a
deed to the property from Capt. George
ii. Flanders and wife, and the other
heirs of John H. Couch. The deed was
written on large double sheet of fools
cap paper. and is as almost numerously
signed as free-bridge petition. In
1850, Col. McCraken's present residence
was built in the center of the block, and
he has lived there ever since In 1880
he built large frame warehouse on the
northwest corner of the block, and in
1889 two brick warehouses were built on
the southeast corner. He has large
quantity of goods and merchandise
stored in the warehouses, and hopes
that the government viii give him suffi-
cient time to remove them.

"Details OF an Irrigation Company Near
Yuma.
The St. Louis Globe. Democrat OF No
vember Sd says: Zone of the most
gigantic irrigation schemes ever ad-
vanced in the United States is being per-
fected near Yuma, in Arizona. The
canal is now being built and will be 126
miles in length, 12O feet in width and II
in depth. The water will be taken out
of the east bank of the Colorado river,
and will give fertility to millions of acres
of land heretofore belonging to the arid
waste known as the Colorado desert.
An immense volume of water comes
down the Colorado at all times of the
year and there is no necessity of dams
or reservoirs to hold reserve, yet, not
withstanding the advantages no at
tempt has ever been made to
use it for irrigation purposes. The
land is now covered with a waste
of cactus and sage brush, but every
where water touches it it is pc
culiarly fertile, and especially is it adapt
ed to the raising of tropical fruits. The
Sonora orange has been tried success
fully, and though it does not grow well
in Southern California, thousands of
acres will be planted here. The irriga-
tion project is in the hands of capitalists
from Denver and New York. The water
will not run part of the time, as in other
canals, but all the time, and it will prac-
tically amount to changing the course OF
part of the river, from which branch
| bitches will lead. The ecope of country
to be covered by it is 1875 miles long and

Wong Ark's Trial.

Nothing new was developed in the
Wong Ark case yesterday. The prose-
cution rested its case and the testimony
of witnesses for the defense began. The
defense placed several witnesses, all of
whom were Chinese, on the stand in the
afternoon, but the only point of interest
was in the testimony of Low Fon. On
cross-examination he testified that
at the time Of the shooting he was en-
gagged in putting up the shutters to the
windows, preparatory to closing his
store for the night. Immediately on
hearing the report of the pistol he
looked in the direction from whence it
came and saw the woman Fook Moy
standing on the porch Justify blowing a
police whistle. He did not see the MUIR
dered woman.
This was in direct contradiction to
the deposition of Fook Moy, who swore
that when the shooting occurred she
was lying on the bed; and upon hearing
the shot dressed herself and went to the
woman's assistance.
The Chinese witnesses were all ex-
amined through an interpreter, in the
face of the fact that they understand
English and speak it fluently.

BLAND ON THE SILVER BILL.
He Is Now in Washington Ready to Begin the
Fight for Its Passage.

He Is Now in Washington Ready to Begin the
Fight for Its Passage.
WAsHNGToN, July 4.-Bland Is here
ready to take hold Of the big end of the
silver fight he said he believes the
Stewart bill will have to be amended in
order TO prevent its bang practical re-
pudiation of silver certificates now out
standing.
A meeting of the committee on co In age
weights and measures will be called for
Wednesday to consider the silver bill, and
a speedy report is expected.
To a Star reporter to-day, Bland said,
that although he had not talked with a
member OF the committee or senators inter
ested in silver, nor yet investigated the
subject, but looking the bill over he feared
IL would have to be amended, as it APP
peared to him that by repeating the act OF
1890 that the bill deprived eighty odd mil
lion of silver certificates Of their legal ten
der quality. This, he said would admit of
veto by the president without reference
to the question of silver coinage.
OF course there is no intention on the
part of the gentleman proposing the bill to
destroy the legal tender character of the
certificates and it may be they have looked
into the matter and discovered it all right.
So far as the passage OF the bill, is con-
cerned Bland is sure it could be accom-
plished II brought to vote. If it receives
the necessary amendment it will be done
and sent back to the.senate for consdera-
ton. II it needs no amendment the matter
viii be very simple.

A CASH in HIS HEAD
Dan Balm CoIlides With an EIec.
trio Car.
Reason to Believe that He Had Been siugged
Relieved OF His Money and Thrown
Across the Track.

Dan Balm of Ogden came to Salt Like to
celebrate tho Fourth. He was on his way
to his brothers. home, $50 Second street,
when he met two men, he said, who gave
him drink OF brandy out OF bottle. He
remembered nothing more until he awoke
to consciousness in the police headquarters.
Car 20 was near tho corner of Sixth and
@ streets when the motorman noticed q
man lying across the track. He reversed
his current and applied the brake, but not
before the wheels had struck the man and
showed him some distance. The man was
picked up apparently dead, and conveyed
10 the police headquarters, where DR.. Niles
attended to his Injuries. He was badly
bruised about the body and face and there
was very serious three-cornered wound
in his head.
Its a problem as to just how the wound 5
were received whether they were made
by the car or inflicted by the men who
gave Balm the brandy. He claimed 10 have
had SO in gold and some small change, but
only 20 cents could DC found in his clothes.
IL looks very much as though he had
been slugged, relieved OF his money and
then thrown across the street car track
At an early hour this morning Balm was
resting quietly, and will probably recover
in short time, unless his wounds are of
a more serious nature than is now Rntici-
pated.
