HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
lRRIdATI0H AT KALAMATH.
Dredger Machinery Arrives for Dredg-
ing the Canal.


The machinery for the dredger of
the Little klamath Ditch Company Is
being put in place on a new boat,
3Sx68 feet, and will be ready for oper-
alton in Lower Klamath Lake in
three weeks. The machinery weighs
100000 pounds, and rs teams were re-
quired to haul it from the railroad to
the lake last week.
The first work of the dredger will
be to dig cut, four miles long, 80
feet wide and four feet deep, from the
lake to the head of the company's
ditch, thus assuring an abundance of
water at all times Of the year. Hith-
erto White Lake has been depended
on for supply, but has been insuffic-
lent to accommodate the demand for
irrigation during the dry weather of
midsummer. The cut from the lake
will cost $4,000. AS soon as that work Is
finished, reclaiming of land around
Lower klamath Lake will be under
taken. 1t is estimated that there are
$4,000 acres contiguous to that body
of water, capable of reclamation by
the use of the dredger.

sudden Death Forbidden.

The sultan of Turkey insists that
every ruler or person of high polit-
ical Importance should die a natural
deaf. The Stampa, of Turin, says
that other manners of death are not
officially recognized by Nischan Eff
fcndi. the censor.
When King llumbert was assassi-
mated at Monza, the Turkish newspa-
pers announced the sad event in this
way:
King Humbert left the hall amid
the frenetic cheers of the people. The
king, much affected, bowed several
times, and TO all appearance was i'm
mcdiately dead"
When the shah Of Persia was as
saasinated. the Turkish papers said:
In the afternoon the shah drove to
his summer palace, and there com
planned of illness. His corpse was
sent to Teheran.'
one paper eXcelled all others by
this piece of euphemistic simplitica-
tion: "The shah felt a little i'll. but
finally his corpse returned to the
palace"
This was too much even for the
Turks, who keep the phrase as one
Of their proverbs.
