WHISTLER LEAVES HARVEY.
Reading of Water Gauges in Streams
Will Be Kept Up All Winter.

Burns-John T. Whistler, engineer
in charge of the work being conducted
in Oregon by the reclamation service OF
the United States geological survey
has left for Pendleton. This will be
his final visit to Harvey county for the
present year, as he will leave the state
for Washington. D. c., in December,
to take up the work of making a de-
tailed exposition of the present years
feldwork in Oregon.
Mr.. Whistler has had three parties
of engineers in the field in this state
all summer, one of these parties having
been engaged since June in surveying
the proposed reservoir site in Silvie's
valley, and also in working out the de-
tails of an irrigation system to carry
water therefrom to the subjacent lands
in Harvey valley.
The approach of bad weather has
drawn the work for this year to con-
clusion, with the exception that the
reading of water gauges in the streams
will be kept up without interruption.

TO BREAK LAND RING.
Heuey Goes to Confer With Knox and
Hyde Is Stricken Silent.

San Francisco, Nov. 19.-Attorney
Francis J. Heuey will leave for Wash
ington tomorrow to confer with United
States Attorney General Knox on the
land frauds. The investigation will be
extended to this city, where it is assert
ed that the conspiracy had its fountain
head in breaking into the big steal in
the Southern Oregon land deals.
The men interested in that business
have been at work covering up their
tracks since Mr.. Heuey was appointed
special prosecutor against those frauds.
In reference to the disclosures in the
land frauds which are bringing the
crooked deals SO prominently before
the public eye, Hyde, the land lawyer
is now silent. The man who was so
hasty to rush into print with his state
ments when conjectures and innuen-
does were flying through the air is not
talking for publication now. When he
so airily took the public into his conf
dence to tell them all he wanted to tell
