are new, though the tasks set before
us differ from the tasks set before our
fathers who founded and preserved
this Republic, the spirit in which these
tasks must be undertaken and these
problems faced, if our duty is to he

we lust show, not merely in great

devotion to lofty ideal, which made

COLORADO NOT CONTROLLED.
All Efforts TO Check Flow Into Salton
Sea Have Failed.

Los Angeles. Nov. 23.-Engineers of
the California Development company
and of the Southern Pacific, who re-
solved the porblem of controlling the
inflow from the Colorado river into
Salton basin, are tonight on the verge
of publicly acknowledging defeat of
their present plans.
Very discouraging reports were re-
ceived here this morning from engin-
GERS in charge of the work at the in
take, 1t being of a sufficiently alarm
ing character as to necessitate the inn
me diate calling into consultation of
Epes Randolph and Chief Engineer f.
C. Edinger.
Edinger has had entire charge of
the latest attempt to divert the water
into the old Colorado river channel
and he seemed gre..Iy surprised upon
reaching Yuma this morning In re-
sponse to dispatch sent yesterday to
learn that with a rush perfectly ire
sistible and almost without warning
the current of the river which through
their efforts during the past three
weeks had been raised n foot or two
and partially turned down the old
channel, had worked its way under
the brush mats and sand bags with
which the stream was partially dam
med, and tonight the entire body of
water is going d vn through the Mex
lean intake into Salton basin.
This failure will come as a great
blow to the people of the Imperial val
ley, who. while they do not believe
any great harm can come to them
through the filling up of the Salton
basin. cannot help but feel some un-
easiness as they see one plan after
another to stop the .,take result in
failure.

FLAX MILL FOR SALEM.
People of Capital City Determined TO
Foster That Industry,

Justin X. Toles of Stockton, Cal,
has been in the city for the past two
days in an effort to arouse sufficient
local interest to warrant the establish
ment of a flax factory at this place,
says the Salem Journal
Mr. Toles, and the interests he rep
resents, have been experimenting in
the flax industry at Stockton for the
past two years, and he says that it is
an unqualified success. He says that
If we can establish a joint interest be-
tween Oregon and California that il
will revolutionize the flax industry
and establish one of the grandest and
most remunerative industries on the
coast.
Capital is now ready to step i'm and
build flax mill here, but II must first
have assurance that enough local in
terest has been aroused to insure the
production of sufficient quantity OF
the raw fibre. to keep the mill in
operation. There is no limit to the
amount they can use. The only ques-
tion is getting enough to start on.
Mr.. Toles says that this vicinity is
very fortunate in having such an able
man as Mr.. Bosse here. to lead in the
development of the industry.

is A RULING \ LAW?
Has the Secretary Transcribed His
Authority?

Yakima, Nov. 23.-A case that is
interesting to the sheepmen of this
section and one that involves fun
damental principle of law is that
which is at present before the United
States circuit court in the district of
eastern Washington. The charge that
has been made against several men Of
trespassing on the United States forest
reserves is being brought up and will
be thoroughly tested. Attorney II. ].
Snively Of this city represented the
defense and made his argument en-
urely on technical grounds.
The law under which the sheepmen
are being prosecuted is not law
passed by congress but a regulation
that has been issued by the secretary
Of agriculture, under whose charge
this land was placed by an act of con-
gress about two years ago.
In his argument Attorney Snively
held that congress alone could make
laws and that the secretary of agri-
culture was overstepping the limits Of
his authority when he made this reg
ulation. He held that congress had
no right to delegate its law making
powers to any other body or officer
and that for this reason the penalty
suggested by the regulation was void
and could not be enforced.
The specific case in which the mat
ter came up was that in which Walter
Mathews is charged with trespassing
IN the forest rasaryaq Thara ara five
other cases OF the same nature that
will be decided by the decision in this
cas-. The case was continued to give
United States District Attorney Avery
time to prepare a counter argument
to the demurrer that was submitted
by Attorney Snively and will be
concluded in the coming session of
the federal court which will be held
next month In this city.
