Frank w Lambert is held at Portland.
States district court OF Nebraska OF subor-
nation Of perjury in the land fencing cases
in Hooker county.
Lambert has raised the question of his
removal from the United States district
OF Oregon to the jurisdiction of Nebraska,
on the ground that the order for his
removal will have 20 be signed by a United
States Judge OF that district. AS there Is
no United States Judge in oregon, an
| interesting question OF jurisdiction arises.
Should his contention succeed. he will have
| to be held in Jail at Portland until a
United States Judge is appointed for that
district.
The specific perjury charge against Lam
bert is that in April, 1903, he persuaded one
| John c. Blue, an inmate of the Nebraska
State Soldiers home at Grand Island, to
make filing upon n quarter section OF land
in Hooker county under what is known
as the soldiers homestead law. and that
he subsequently prevailed upon Blue to
lease the land to one George G. Ware, the
chief figure in the U. B. I. Land and Cattle
company OF Hooker county for the period
| OF ninety-nine years. Blue never went
upon the land nor did he ever see 1t and
/
Of perjury in procuring Blue to file upon
the land and violating his oath that the
land was entered for his (Blues) personal
use and benefit. and upon which he pro-
posed making his home. and that It was
not directly or indirectly for the use OF
any other person or persons
Government Men did 1t.
The case was worked up by the agent:
OF the secret service department of the
government, who have been assigned e
duty in that district to assist the specia
agents of the land department in securing
evidence of fraudulent entries of similal
character.
Scores of these fraudulent entries have
been discovered and the special agents o.
the secret service department are still
| working on like cases there. and numer
! Gus arrests are to follow. The specia
agents of the land department are now en-
gagged making q survey OF the Bartlett

WHAT IRRIGATION Is DOING.
It is Accomplishing Wonders for the
Western Country.

Irrigation is doing great things for
the western country, but in my opin-
ion irrigated land will never be as val
liable as land in Minnesota, Iowa and
the other states comprising the Missis-
sippi valley" said w. E. Young of the
state railroad and warehouse commits
sion, who has just returned from a trip
through the Rocky Mountain and Pa
cific Coast States in company with the
members of the National Association of
Railway Commissioners.
eff the irrigating bitches work sue
cessfully good crop is assured, but
there are so many obstacles, any one
of which may make irrigation a fail
ure. Sometimes there is not enough
water in the streams to irrigate Civ
en- territory and very frequently it is
impossible to distribute the water even
ly about a given tract of land.
"For instance, we passed through a
tract where the branch irrigating bitches
were blown full of sand. This necessi-
tated the construction of new bitches,
and if the sand storms were very fire.
quent the expense of constructing the
bitches would make it improbable to
cultivate the soil Most of the main
bitches are large enough to escape this
trouble.
''Then there are thousands of acres
of land that can never be irrigated
either because water is not available
or because the topography is not such
as to make irrigation feasible"
Mr.. Young was very much impressed
with the growth of the cities on the
Pacific coast.
"The growth of the cities in Washing
ton and Oregon is remarkable said
Mr.. Young Seattle has doubled its
population in five years. st. Paul
