Cnnions Rains We're Timely.

The Climate and Crop Bulletin makes
the following report for Oregon for
the week ending, tuesday, May 10:
The weather during the past week
was shorcry and too cool for crops to
make satisfactory advancement. Good
rains fell in III sections of the state,
those ocCvrng in the western portion
being especially cOpious and timely.
The condition of the grain crop con-
tinues satisfactory. There are some
complaints of fall wheat turning yel-
low, confined principally to that sown
on low land. Rye, oats and barley are
doing nicely, while spring wheat has
stoCled we'll and is very promising.
Tops continue uneven and the cool
weather has retarded their growth.
In some portions of Polk county the
second training of the vines is in pro-
gress. Meadow grass, clover and pas
lures are growing rapidly. Alfalfa is
backward and light first crop" is
indicated Gardens, potatoes, corn,
sugar beets, field onions and beans are
grwing slowly, and warm, sunshiny
weather is needed before these crops
can resume their normal growth.
Corn is comiug up quite evenly and
enough rain has fallen to insure a good
bellthy stand. Dairy and range stock
continue in fine condition.
Reports relative to the fruit crop
continue very conflicting. In some
localities some orchards seem to be
bare of fruit, while others near by
indicate fairly good Yields. This is
al o true of individual trees, some
being we'll set with fruit, while others
have none. Prunes, peaches and early
cherries have suffered most, however,
while other tree fruit promises fair
results.

Some UnWritten History.
Goldendale Sentinel.

In the fall of 1858 a small party Of
men we're mining at the mouth of the
Okanogan river; among them was 9
man by the name Of B. A. L., by
whom this story is told.
One evening in the early part Of
November, 1858, two men rode into
camp where B. A. l.. slept; they
we're two fine looking fellows and
we're accompanied by about so head
Of elegant Missouri mules branded
''U. S."
B. A. l.. learned later that the
mules had strayed from fort Walla
Walla. In those days mule was valu-
able animal, good, sound, young
mules bringing from $3.50 to S400.
To make a long story short, the
strangers had scarcely gotten unsad.
died and camp made for the night
when who should appear on the scene
but squad of Uncle Sans cavalry
commanded by a grizzled old fellow
who acted first then thought after
wards, for he didn't do thing tC
those dapper young fellows.
Sergeant, " he said, ''tie the
hands of those men behind them.
"Your order has been obeyed, sir, y
said the sergeant.
"Then sir, lead them out there ten
paces. Do not blindfold them; face
them to the west. Detail a firing
squad of six men.
"Now, my men, when | give the
word to fire, fire to kill. Make ready,
take aim, fire." No bullet went amiss
and the gruff old captain called to me
and said, "Have you tools with which
to bury these men?" When | told
him had, he gave me two pairs Of
army blankets in which to wrap the
bodies and $40 of U. S. currency.
The squad then gathered up the
mules and started straight for fort
Walla Walla. Long stood and gaZed,
and long stood and struggled with
myself before getting those two fel.
lows into the grave prepared foI
them; but | finally did it. Next
morning saw me headed for the Viii.
lamette valley home. Who were the
two young fellows? Alas twill never be
known in this world who one of them
was, but the other was known and tC
mention his name even at this late day

The secretary of the Interior has set
aside, Professionally, $2,6O0,0O0 for the

Reclamation service OF the Minidoka

This project provides for the rec.ama-

Alderman Ruxton of Chicago has
made large bid for high fame. Mr.
Ruyton has introduced in the city coun-
Gil an ordinance described AS IAN act to
prevent unjust discrimination by land
lords against parents" In Mr., Rux-
toms measure, it is declared that many
landlords refused TO rent flats to fam
lies III which there were children or in
fants, "thereby discouragng and mill
tating against the probable increase of
Chicago, contrary to the injunction i'm
posed upon our first parents upon the
expulsion from the gaden of Eden to
multiply and reprn~h the earth and
against the policy and purpose of our
national administration The ordi.
nance provides that any landlord who
shall refuse to rent any house or fiat to
families in which there are children
shall besubject to a fine of not less than
s. nor more than $l00 Ii the landlord
shall establish the fact that the "Child-
ren in any sIch family are of boisterouS
d,p p)sition and likely to disturb the
peace or digaity oi such house or fiat it
shalt continue a good defense" The
ordinance was referred to the committee
on Judiciary,

200 cubic feet a second, will be taken
out at the dam. The south side canal,
abouth l3 miles in length, will irrigate
5000 acres by gravity, and will conduct
water to the pumping stations for eleya-
ton to the higher lands on that side of
the river. 1t will have capacity of
about 500 cubic feet per second. Con-
siderable power will be developed for
i lifting the water to bench lands above
the line of gravity bitches.
The contract for the dam, spillway,
and upper part of canal was awarded, in
August, 1904, to the Bates and Rogers
Construction Company of Chicago The
plans call for the construction OF core
wall across the river. The other mater
ials which were to be placed in the dam,
such as loose rock, gravel, and earth,
will be used for Golfer damming during
the construction Of this wall, The con-
struction plant is now in full operation,
and the embankments constituting the
first section of the coffer-dam will soon
be ready for the construction of the core
wall. The contract provides for the
completion Of the dam and spillway by
November II, 1905.
The construction of the dam will pro-
vide splendid facilities for the develope-
ment power The minimum discharge
of the river at this point which will be
available for this purpose lie 2l00 second
feet. This can easily be increaed to
5000 feet by storage on the headwaters
of the stream. This water can be passed
through walls under a head of about 5U
feet, which will provide for the develop.
ment of more than 1900 horsepower.
1t is proposed to use the greater part
of this power for pumping water onto
the lands situated above the gravity sys-
tenn of canals which will be constructed
during the coming season. From $4,000
to $4,000 acres can be reclaimed at a
reasonable cost by pumping. The area
to be benefited by this project is all
government land. Homestead entries
within radius OF Il miles from the CEN
ter of each town site are to be limited to
40 acres and those on all other lands
under this protest to so acres. The soil
is deep, sandy loan, free from alkali,
which is now producing thrifty growth
of sage brush The lands are tributary
to the Oregon Short Line Railroad.

The liquor interests at The Dalles
8 outly opposed the calling of local
o .Jtion election in Wasco county.
They have come out in the press of
that city with the following comment {:
"The people of Hood River have
petitioned the County court for an
election on the prohibition question
for the entire county to take place in
June, and now again are the people
OF Waaco county up against this ques-
tion, with no good to be derived from
the election except the possible chance
of voting the entire county dry. Thus
are the people of WascO county to
stand the expenses of the special
election, and if it should go wet there
Is no assurance that it will in any way
benefit Hood River people, as several
with whom we have talked express
the opinion that as Hood River went
dry in the last election it will have
to remian dry for two years at least,
or until the next general election.
They had chance to defeat the pro-
hibitioD movement last year, and in
stead, they. for the want of little
little effort and rustic, let it 60
dry by four votes, They, with
their usual egotism, thought they had
the world by the tail and a down hill
pull and refused to stand in with the
people of The Dalles in their efforts
against the prohibition movement,
but now that their cake is all dough
they are anxious for The Dalles people
to help them out of the hole. "

]. HANSON TRIES TO
TAKE HIS OWN LIFE

Joseph Hanson, of Mount Hood
made an Intellectual attempt last Fri
day night to commit suiside, by
slashing his throat with a razor. De-
spondency over family troubles is said
to have led Hansen to seek his own
life.
Hanson sometimes assists Oscar
Fredenburg to carry the mail between
here and Mount Hood, and rooms
at the Fredenburg house. Late in
the evening a commotion was heard
in Hanson's room. Rushing in Mr..
Fredenburg sought to save the man =
life by bandaging the wound in the
throat.
There being no phone in use at
Mount Hood, a messenger had to
make the trip to Willow Flat before a
physician could be called A doctor
reached Hanson about O'Clock in
the morning, and found him rather
weak from loss Of blood, but after
taking a few stitches the man was left
comfortable and well on the road to
recovery.
There was considerable excitement
on the streets until the arrival of the
mail statge. The report that someone
had attempted to commit suicide
made it appear as if some further
startling developments we're coming
to light in the recent tragedy at that
place.

Special to the Glacier.
Portland, May .22-The ornamental
main entrance to the Lewis and Clark
exposition has been completed, and in
a short tine the old temporary gates
will be torn away and the gate keep
ers will be doing business at the
bright new tUrustiles.
There are y turnstiles for entrance
and eight for exit. The capacity Of
each entering turnstile Is about 40
persons per second, or even more in
a rush. 1t is safe to figure that 500
persons may pass through these gates
in minute. Each turnstile records
the number of people passing through,
so at the end of a day the total at
tendance may be figured up quite
readily.
There are three other entrances,
one at Twenty eighth street, near the
Museum of Arts, one at the American
Inn and the other at the northeast
corner of the grounds, which will ad
NIT visitors coming by boat on the
Willamette river to the government
peninsula.

The main entrance, which is at
Twenty sixth and Upshur streets, is
reached by all street car lines and is
only Is minutes ride from the heart
of the city. Many extra cars will be
