Here is a story which is floating
around among the knights of the
road A salesman awaiting a train
at a Southern railroad station where a
crowd Of natives were congregated
attempted to display his remarkable
perceptions by declaring that he could
tell Just what kind OF man each one
was by looking at him. To satisfy
incredulity he declared that all present
were Democrats, but was told that any
body could reckon TO that extent, as
all Soutnerners were Democrats. Turn
ing TO one man he said, "You are a
Cleveland Democrat TO which the
man assented. Then another man
was pointed out as an "Olney Demo.

0lney Democrats are scarce in the
South the crowd began to think they
had struck a mind reader. "And you
are a Hearst Democrat continued the
observer, signalling out a wild-eyed,

But the reply that came back from the
accused one broke up the proceed

RECLAIM
DESERT
LANDS
Large Company Will Operate
in Crook County Begin
at Once

The Deschutes Irrigation & Power
Company, on Saturday afternoon, ap
peared before the state land board by
several of its officers, and filed on go.
600 acres of arid lands in Crook coun
ty, to be reclaimed under the Carey
act The company has also absorbed
the Pilot Butte Development Com
pany and the Oregon Irrigation Com
pany, and has secured the lands held
by these two corporations, thus giving
the new concern 100000 acres to be
reclaimed.
The new company iiled maps and
plats, showing that two fumes, each
80 feet wide and 10 feet deep, will take
water out of the Deschutes river, one
at Bend, the other eight miles above,
and will bring large tract of arid
lands under its bitches. The purpose
was to have at least $4,000 acres un.
der the ditch in four months, or prob
ably in less time, as work is to begin
at once.
The main bitches will be 12O miles
in length and a couple Of hundred
miles of minor bitches will be distrib.
ute the water On the desert.
The new irrigation system it Is ex.
pected will cost $2,5OO 900. The land
will be irrigated as fast as settlers
will take UP claims and the cost Of
irrigation will be $12 per acre to the
settlers, to be paid to the state, in ad-
dition to tho cost of the lane. and for
which they will have a lien on the
land until it is paid.
The Pilot Butte Developm IN. Com
pany, which owned the townsite of
Bend, has transferred all its holdings
to the new company, except the town
site named, which will be retained by
A. M. Drake, president of the Pilot
Butte concern. The new company has
a capital Of So 10000, and its incorpor-
porators of record are w. A. Munly,
George II. Hill and E. b. Holmes, of
Portland.

with such continued vehemence that

scarcely be made paramount, though
It may become a prominent issue in
the next campaign. The American
people by this time ought to under.
stand that any tariff policy that will

Good Spirits.

Good spirits don't all come from

liver-and all the fine spirits ever
made in the Blue Grass state could
not remedy a bad liver or the hundred

can't have good spirits and a bad
liver at the same time. Your liver
must be in fine condition If you would
feel buoyant, happy and hopeful,

can put your liver in fine condition by
using Green's August Flower-the

The Polk County Republican Club
Of Independence gave a splendid Lin.

attended by about two hundred Re

ors from different parts of the val
ley. The local managing committee
covered themselves with glory, and
il was the verdict Of all the invited
guests that the Independence Repub-
leans know how to treat everybody
right. The utmost hospitality was
shown and the spirit of good will and
liberal views prevailed, and the whole
affair was a rebuke TO the spirit Of
factionalism that crops out too much
in Multnomah county. One Of the
speakers got great cheers for his dec.
laration that if factionalism were
pressed too far at Portland the Re.
publicans from the COW counties

themselves and the committe on ar

turkey, braised lamb, Westphalian
ham, apple souffle, imported tongue,
crab salad, ice cream, cake, etc. etc,
cigars and coffee. All the speakers
praised the dinner and it was two
hours in serving the different courses.
The Musical Features.
The banquet was finely provided
with musical features-much better
than the same event at Portland,
where one would think there ought to
be a great amount of talent There
was fine orchestra of seven pieces
that occupied the ordinary of the ho-
tel. A quintet of male voices sang
in a side room at the Republican
headquarter rooms, composed of
Hugh Shelley, Clarence Ireland, VIII

talented soloist, gave some Of the
finest songs, including America" to
which the entire assembly of the
banquet responded by arising and
joining in the grand strains of the
national anthem. A mixed quartet
sang in the dining room, consisting
Of Mrs. Doris and Mrs Skinner, and
Messrs Hedges and McAdams.

csc Continue to Win.
DANGER FOR FOREIGNERS

ST. PETERSBURG, May 5.-The effect OF
the disaster to Russian arms on the Yalu
upon the Chinese is being watched with
keen interest and considerable apprehen-
sion. The Russian government appears to
be satisfied with the situation for the mo-
ment, and Paul Lessar, the Russian minis
ter at Picking, is making daily reports to
the Foreign Office. The report received from
the minister to-day contained nothing dis
quieting.
The Picking government according to
Russian reports, seems to be acting in per-
feet neutrality. 1t is turning deaf ear to
the appeals of anti-Russian leaders who
want China to throw in her lot with Japan.
and is doing all possible to suppress anti
foreign agitation among the people. Never
theless the Russian authorities regard
China as powder magazine. They realize
the danger inherent in the situation and
the necessity for constant pressure on the
Picking government.
THE danger of an anti-foreign movement
throughout the Chinese empire exists no,
only for Russia, but for all the powers, and
Russia has at least three times since the
outbreak of the war addressed the powers
on the subject, the last time being less thar
ten days ago. The answers received uni
formly show a full appreciation of the
need of exercising restraining influence or
Picking. and all the powers are co-operat.
ing to this end.

ships as they approached were divided into

mines and they were under murderous
fire from the Russian batteries. Three tor

up the crews Of the latter When the first
ship foundered the crew clambered up the
mast, cheering for the Emperor of Japan
