Thursday. February 2.

The postoffice appropriation bill was
the main topic of discussion in the
house today and its consideration was
not completed. During the day bills
were passed as follows: Amending the
law so as to reduce the amount Of
bond required of agents acting for con-
signees on imported goods;, providing
for the construction of irrigation and
reclamation works in certain lakes and
rivers in Oregon and California; grant
ing certain lands within the Flathead
Indian reservation, Montana, to certain
Catholic societies for religious pur-
poses.
The senate spent much of today dis
cussing the distribution of ordinary
farm and garden seeds by the Agricul-
tural department. When adjournment
was taken consideration of the bill had
not been completed. A further con-
ference was ordered on the Notifications
appropriation bill.

Attempts to Secure Big Tract OF
Oregon State Land.
nine men SWEAR FALSELY TO AID
Prospective Irrigation Scheme on kla-
math Lands Would Have Been
Made to Yield Profit.

Salem, Feb, as. A. D. Puter, con-
victed Of conspiracy to deiraud the gov
ernment in timber land eases, and
under indictment on further charges,
was caught today in an attempt to Sc
cure title to 5, 200 acres of state school
land in violation of law, and the state
land board has $4,000 of his good
money and evidence sufficient to show
the fraudulent nature of the transac-
tion.
Basil Wagner, OF this city, procured
the men to make the applications for
the land. As each filed his application
he told Clerk Brown that Wagner
would call for the certificate OF sale.
Applications to purchase school land
near Klamath Falls were filed by nine
residents Of Salem, who swore that they
wanted the land for their own use and
benefit, and had made no contract. ex-
press or implied, to convey the land to
any other person. No certificates Of
sale were issued, but Clerk q. G..
Brown called the attention OF the state
land board to the suspicious applica-
tions, and an investigation resulted.
One c: the applicants was taken be-
fore the governor, where he was closely
cross-questioned, until he admitted that
he had made the application at the in
stance of an agent of Puter, and made
the initial payment with bank draft
furnished by Puter.
Governor Chamberlain Immediately
called a special meeting OF the state
land board to consider the matter, and
Puter appeared before the board. He
asked leave to withdraw the applica-
tions and receive his drafts, but the
land board refused to recognize his
right to have the money returned.
The drafts will be returned only 10
the persons who deposited them, and
when these men appear, they will be
brought up on the carpet and ques-
toned as to the truth of their aflidavits.
Whether the 81, 900 will eventually be
returned or will be held by the board
as forfeited remains to be determined.

Clark Mont, Dillingham; and Teller
today continued the discussion OF the
Joint statehood bill. Proctor reported
the agricultural appropriation bill and
gave notice that he would ask to have
it considered. Bills were passed grant

ricultural college; amending the land
laws SO as to permit settlers on public
lands to make transfers for public uses
before completing title; amending ex-
isting laws so as to require captains of
passenger vessels to supply information
regarding the age and sex of immi-
grants.
The postoffice appropriation bill oc-
cupied the house the major portion Of
today. With an understanding that
the discussion of the question should
be continued tomorrow, the bill was
laid aside and other matters taken up.

SuppIied..from Abroad.

Washington, Feb. 2, = Senator An
keny today called on the quartermaster
general to ascertain why all army beef
for the Philippines is purchased either
in Argentina or Australia, to the ex-
clusion Of American beef. He was told
that the government can get Argentina
or Australian beef delivered at Manila
for 81 cents pound, far below the
price at which any American dealers
will agree to deliver it. The war de-
partment says that, until congress
passes law requiring the purchase of
American meats, it will continue TO
supply the Philippines at the lowest
price obtainable.

TOWNS ON IRRIGATED LAND.
French Proposes to Sell Lots and

Washington, Feb. /. Representa-.

a bill authorizing the secretary OF the
interior to withdraw from entry any
public lands needed for townsite pur-
poses in connection with any irrigtion
project under the national irrigation
law and TO subdivide them into lots.
Such lots shall be sold at public auc-
tion to the highest bidder for cash, the

cipal improvements shall be repaid by
the town authorities in 90 annual in
stallments into the reclamation fund.
The secretary may sell rights TO the
use Of water available under the recla-
nation act for domestic, fire and other
purposes to any city or town establish
ed as above provided, and also to other
cities or towns.

The senate today agreed to vote on

amendments to be considered on that
date under the ten-minute rule. The
larger part of the day was occupied in

dividing the state of Washington into
two judicial districts, the Eastern and

ONE OBSTACLE GONE.
Way Is Being Cleared for the Klamath
irrigation Project.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The house has
passed the bill recently reported by
the irrigation committee authorizing
the secretary OF the interior in carrying
out any irrigation project undertaken
under the national reclamation to raise
or lower the levels of Little Klamath,
Tulle, and Goose lakes, or such other
river or other body OF water connected
Herewith as may be necessary and TO
dispose of any lands which may come
into possession Of the United States as
result thereof by cession from the
state Of Oregon and California or other
wise.
If the senate accepts the house
amenmdents there remains but one
obstacle to be overcome before the gov
ernment begins construction of the
Klamath irrigation project in Oregon
and California. That is to buy out the
Klamath canal company and other
owners of irrigation works within the
area proposed to be reclaimed by the
government. A satisfactory offer has
already been made to sell the Ankeny
canal to the government, and it is be-
lieved that ultimately satisfactory
terms can be arranged for buying out
the Klamath canal company, although
it Is understood that the company now
asks $500, 900 for its works and rights.
That price is declared to be exorbitant
and unreasonable.
1t is probable that the senate will
agree to the bill as it passed the house
today and that it will be promptly
signed by the president.

impeachment against him. The an
swer was formidable document in
point of size. In every case the charge
was admitted, but explained from
Judge swayne's point of view, they
were not of character to justify pro-
ceedings for impeachment. The senate
issued an order requiring the house to
file its reply by next Monday, and di-
rected that all pleadings shall be in by
February 8, that the trial may proceed
on February 10. The senate sitting as
a court, then adjourned and resumed
legislative consideration of the joint
statehood bill. That topic occupied

JURY MAKES ANOTHER REPORT
Mitchell Said to Have Accepted Pay
While Senator-BrownesH Had
Men Swear Falsely.

Portland, Feb. 2.--The Federal grand
jury has spoken again and this time
two new and distinctly important In
dietments have been returned, one
against Senator Mitchell charging him
with violating section 1889 OF the re-
yised statutes Of the United States.
which provides that no one holding
the office Of senator shall receive any
compensation Whatsoever for any work
done 20 further matters relating TO the
work Of the government In any depart
ment; the other against State Senator
George G. Brownell, alleging that he il
guilty OF subornatien OF perjury in hav-
ing induced Fred sieyers and John A.
Rowland, two axmen formerly In the
employ Of Surveyor General Henry
Meldrum, to swear falsely before the
grand Jury In regard TO the work done
by BroYnell as a notary while making
ailidavits In connection with the work
1.-THE surveyor generals office, all Of
which is in violation OF section 1898 Of
the revised statutes.
II has been rumorcd for some time
that Senator Mitchell would yet have
TO face another charge than the one
which has been hanging over him for
some time, but II was not known from
which direction the blow would fall.
Many theories have been advanced and
among them an ENHANCEMENT with
Frederick A. Kribs, and this has proved
TO be the correct guess, II was for
work done for Kribs that the indiet-
ment has been returned. The senator
has been indicted under the same sec.
tion Of the statutes which was used
against Congressman briggs, Of New
York, who pleaded guilty TO the charges
against him, and Is also the same
charge brought against Senator Bur-
ton, who was recently convicted and
granted new trial.

When the water reaches the base Of its
