Lost Wife Again.

Judge Stewart last evening heard
the habeas corpus case Of Mrs.
Hunt, wife of DR.. Sylvester Hunt
of Emmett. Mrs. Hunt testified
that she had gone to the home of
her father, S. r. Denny of Cam
bridge, of her own free will and
that she was actuated by her hus-
bands cruelty toward her. On
this showing Judge Stewart dis
missed the writ and permitted her
to return to her parents.
This was the case brought by
DR.. Hunt for his wife on the ale
cation that she was restrained OF
her liberty. Judge Stewart issued
the writ and she was brought t.
Boise with her child last evening
An immediate hearing was granted
with the result stated. - Statesman

Gone to Republican Camp.

Bartlett Sinclair declares that
the silver issue can not be brought
to the front and that all the dyn-
amiters in the Occur d Aienes
were either Democrats or Popu-
lists. This is a pretty come off
for a man just leaving his party
though it were true. If he had
believed in the principles of his
party and they havn't changed he
would not leave it because Of a few
dynamiters who having no princi-
pies may be found in any polite
al camp. The same may account
for his drifting.

the water over ten or twelve feet

The seriousness Of the situation
in the Philippines can better be in

generals say about sparing troops
for China than from the reports of

Reelection of Diaz.

The dispatches tell of the re-
election of Diaz as president of
Mexico, the electoral college hay
ing just met to cast the vote. That
IS a pleasant formality that the
Mexican ruler permits. 1t shows
his cleyerness, as it gives the ap-
pearance Of popular government
aud keeps any other ambitious lead
er from appealing for freedom.
The fact Is that Diaz is dictator
in every sence of the word, hat he
is just the kind Of man to govern
the people of such q country.
They need a dictator, and it is for
tunate for them that they have one
who knows what is best for them.
Diaz is one of the great successes
of this generation. If every Latin
American republic had such ruler
they would ali be i'll far better CON
dition. State sman.
The belief in self government
was always considered American
aad the idea that any people need
dictator has always been consid-
cred monarchial. The Statesman
/ probably has lost its Americanism
or it would not make such utteranc~
es, 1t has no fears in speaking
plainly and this fact accounts for
many of its political ideas, when
talking about Mexicans, but while
acting on the same belief about
Americans it hardly dares to be so
plain.

20 Reclaim The Desert.

A large area of land in southern
Oregon, known to stockmen as 'the
desert" is about to be put under an
irrigation system by the Des Chut-
es Y Crystal Lake Irrigating COM
pany, which has had party Of
surveyors in the field for several
months, says the Oregonian.
The main canal of the system is
to be 2OO miles long, 40 feet wide
at the surface of the ground and 30
feet at the bottom. 1t will carry a
stream of water 10 feet deep. The
canal IS to tap the Des Chutes riv-
er near its head, on the eastern
slope of the Cascades, where a new
er-failing supply Of water is assur-
ed.
The land to be brought under
the influence of the ditch would
make a good sized county.
The irrigation company has OBJ
tanned title to 3SO,0OU acres OF land
under various modes of purchase,
mainly by scrip, though there are
still large quantities. open for loca-
ton under the desert land act, and
improvements about to be made
will doubtless attract large num-
Der Of homeseekers who desire to
raise fruit and produce with the
aid of irrigation.
Work on the main canal will be
begun right away. The Japs now
finishing the road bed Of the Col
umbia Southern will be utilized for
this purpose, and their number will
be increased $40 within few
months.
The officials o. the company say
that the proposed railroad from the
Dalles up the Des Chutes TO Lake
view via Prinevil, Will pass right
through the heart of the reclaimed
area; and this will enable the peo-
pie of that region to market their
products in Portland at u nominal
expense,
On the east side of Crook county
the Eastern Oregon Irrigation
company, with headquarters at
rnn.ville. is preparing to tap the
John Day river and land its waters
over a level stretch of country
equally capable of reclamation
These vast areas, now comparative
" yalueless, will be worth $50 t.
500 an acre under proper system
of irrigation, while towns and vii
lages will spring up where now the
sheep herder's lonely tent is the
only evidence of the presence OF
humanity, and even that is absent
in the summer time. The men con
nected with this vast irrigatlng
scheme are equally positive thai
the railroad from The Dalles VI
the Des Chutes will be put through
in short order, and within two
years the fruits of these enterprises
= will be making themselves appar
ent in Portland.

by practical experience. Water at

piled about the base of youug trees
without the slightest danger Of in

give them except advise and he
would give that in huge chunks. He
did not think negro looked well

Philadelphia. June 2l.-The vice presl-

sorbing topic with the leaders. the dele
gates and the anxious, eXpectant crowd.
While many of the conditions have been
defined with clearness. there is far from a
clear and final understanding which all ac-
cept by common consent.
The action of the New York caucus late
Wednesday night in unanimously agree
ing to support Woodruff is not accepted as
permanently retiring Roosevelt from the
field. Kansas and many other states are
in.istent still that he shall be nominated
without reference to his own wishes or she
wishes OF the New York delegation. In
some quarters ii is intimated that this :
but an adrot stroke on the part OF Mr.
Platt to show that ii is from without that

walls that the time has gone by when New

over. Mr.. Hanna and the administration
forces continues to look to Long or Dolli
yer and are not deeply impressed with the

Of the casualties or oi the condition of
