At the conclusion of the programme
social reception was held in which the
following figured very prominently The
Woman's Auxiliary, the orchestra, and
the reception committee. For two hours
the face of every one indicated perfect
enjoyment from The fact that each made
it their business to see that the other
was glad they had come. A more
friendly and cordial spirit could not
possibly have prevailed.
The various reports were well received
and to say that many who heard them
were astonished at the splendid showing
made along all lines is putting it
mildly.

The address of State Secretary Nor

Harry j. Wilson of Algona, Iowa,
who recently proved up on the south
east quarter Of section %, township
10, range II. and whose final proof
was contested on the ground that he
had omitted to irrigate his crop of
wheat, has returned to Twin Falls with
his family, says the Twin Falls News,
and is once more an active farmer
Like many others who were not ia
miliar with the operation of the Carey
act, Mr.. Wilson relied to too great an
extent upon the advice OF friends who
were not very well posted themselves.
He supposed that he had fulfilled
every requirement of the law and he
was astounded when he received no
tice that his proof had been contested.
II never was more surprised in my
life than when / received word that
my proof was contested" said Mr..
Wilson. THE water right on my en-
tire 100 acres was paid for and l sure
ly could not afford to run any risks
of losing so valuable a piece of ground.
Not being a practical farmer myself
was obliged TO engage others to do
my work. The man who put in my
crop is a gentleman whom l have
known for years and l consider him
one of the most trustworthy men Of
my acquaintance. He did what he be-
lieved was right.
"Our house was built, the ground
was plowed and seeded and supposed
that everything was all right. We lived
for more than 80 days on the quarter
section and would have stayed there
six months had the law required us to
do so. / had to return to my business
in the east. My intention was to come
back to Twin Falls in the spring. AS
soon as l was advised that / had a
contest on my hands ! started for Ida
\ no.
II am not a shirker and propose to
/ live up to the letter and spirit of the
/ Carey act. 1t is unreasonable TO ex-
pect that an entryman can follow every
line and word of the affidavits he has
to make. l read over the affidavits
and found nothing in them that could
not conscientiously swear to. Cold
type is susceptible OF many interpre-
tations sometimes and a man who is
not thoroughly posted is liable to run
against a snag. l am here to do the
right thing and my intentions were
right when / first visited Twin Falls. "

RUSSIANS FOR HAWAII.
President Said to Be Disappointed
With Progress of Island.

The San Francisco Call publishes
the following special dispatch concern
ing the introduction of Russians into
Hawaii, The dispatch is dated at
Honolulu and is as follows:
Considerable discussion is being had
here of plans to secure a supply of
labor other than Asiatic and II is
stated that President Roosevelt has on
several occasions expressed himself as
dissatisfied with the progress so far
made in the Americanization of the
islands. There has been decrease
in the white population since annex
alton and Japanese competition has
driven away large numbers of white
skilled laborers. both in Honolulu and
on the sugar plantations.
W. A. Demens, a wealthy resident OF
Los Angeles, who is here in the in
terests of a plan to bring a large col
ony of Russian agriculturists to Ha-
wall, stated in a published interview
that he came here at the suggestion
of the president. Demens says:
During n discussion of the matter
with President Roosevelt l volunteer
ed the Information that il proper con-
ditions were made l could send to
Hawaii 10000 Russians of the Douk-
hobor class, but that they would not
go under the same conditions as Chi
nese and Japanese have been brought
to Hawaii. He suggested that I visit
Hawaii and go over the ground. The
10000 Russians who are in prison in
Japan were considered.
81 have been offered 10000 acres of
land in olaa by the government, and
can send here Immediately 1900 Rus
sian agriculturists 1t will be quite
easy to secure 10000 of them. Liberal
terms will be offered, for I am assur-
ed by the federal government that each
family will be offered at least 40 acres
Of land free of cost"
President Roosevelt's action is taken
by some as an indication of dissatis-
faction with the progress made by the
territorial administration In his we'll
known policy of Americanizing the
islands. ..

Cost of City Water Will Not BE Ex-
ccssivc-Contract for Lining Reser-
voir and Laying Mains Will BE Let
Next Saturday-Cost of System tO
BE About $4,000. One Half of Which
Will Probably BE Raised by Public
Subscription.

Echo has already let the contract
for sinking a city well. for installing
gasoline engine and pump with
which to pump city water and next
Saturday night will let the contract
for lining the city reservoir with ce-
ment, for laying the water pipes and
completing the city water system,
which will represent an expenditure of
about $4,000 when completed.
About s2500 in cash is now availa-
BILE for the purpose and it is thought
the other $2500 can be raised by pub
lie subscription, as it is not the de-
sire of the city to issue bonds, IL pos
sible to prevent it.
The water system will be complete
i'm every detail, with gasoline engine,
cement lined reservoir located on the
hill west of the town, to give 1t suf-
ficent pressure for all purposes, and
with mains leading to all portions of
town. The residents will almost en-
tirely use city water, as it promises to
be an excellent quality and will be
supplied at very moderate rates, not
exceeding 81 per month for domestic
purposes, ii is thought. The well will
be sunk to an indefinite depth, this
depending altogether upon the guam
tity and quality of water found.

ESQUIMoS NOT PROTECTED.
Whalcrs Said to Cypress Natives Of the
North.

L. ]. Knapp. a lay missiouary of the
Episcopal church, visited with Rev.
Thomas jenkins during the stay of the
Dolphin in port Wednesday, says the
Ketchikan Journal.
He is returning north to take up his
work among the Esquimos
Mr.. Knapp has spent several years
with the natives along the Arctic
ocean and has lately forwarded to the
attorney general of the United States
a strong statement and vigorous pro-
test on behalf of the church against
the abuse of the natives in that region
by whalers and others from the United
States.
In his communication to Attorney
General Moody. Mr.. Knapp calls atten.
ton to the small efforts of the officers
of the revenue cutter service to pro-
tect these natives, especially the wo-
men, who, he says are kidnapped
every summer and held aboard ves-
sells in captivity several months.
The bureau of education that has
established schools in that far-off
land, the missionary says is in full
possession of the facts concerning ex-
listing conditions, but has done moth
ing. His is an appeal for Immediate
action by the authorities at Washing
ton.

LILY BULBS FROM CHINA.
Importations TO United States This
Year VIII Break Records.

Consul Anderson of Annoy thinks
the exports of Easter lilies or narcis-
sus bulbs from China this year will
break all records, and that very
| considerable trade could be built up
between China and the United States.
He says:
The indications are that the record
Of shipments Of narcissus or sacred
Chinese lily" bulbs for the United
States will be exceeded this year. Fifty
| tons went out of Annoy in ona vessel
bound for the United States last week.
and the next steamer for the Pacific
coast is TO take a similar shipment
The prospects are that there will be
at least $4,000 worth of these bulbs
shipped to the United States this year,
exceeding the ordinary record by per-
haps $4,000 Practically all of the mar
cissus bulbs exported from China go
from Annoy. and at least three -fourths
Of these go to the United States.
The bulbs are raised in the Chang
Chow district, about 80 miles inland
from Annoy. The flowers are popular
among the Chinese, having more or
less of a religious significance, all
lllt
commonly believed in the United
States The extent to which they have
come to be sold in the United States
can best be realized when the volume
of exports from the producing district
is realized. In 1902 100000 bulbs
were exported; in 1903, 2,34S,000; in
1904, 2,030,716, valued at $35,627.
The exports this year will probably
reach $4,000.
A considerable trade in Easter lily
and Gala lily bulbs might be built up
between Annoy and the United States.
The bulbs can be produced here at a
minimum price. on the hills here
abouts, especially up country near
where the narcissus bulbs are pro-
duced, the lilies grow wild. Some
times an entire hillside will be covered
with them. The climate seems to be
peculiarly adapted to their growth,
and in addition to this the cheapness
of Chinese labor affords other advan
tages. The Chinese use Gala and
Easter lily bulbs for medicinal pur-
poses

The Willow Creek Problem.

The widening of Willow creek
through Heppner is a serious problem
and will be something to work on for
the Heppner Commercial club. The
undertaking is by no means an inn
possibility and if the people will get
together the problem can be solved.
Many of our citizens are ready right
now to give the matter financial aid.
II it cannot all be accomplished at
once little by little will accomplish the
result The main thing is to get the
matter started right. Now is a good
time to ommence.-Heppner Ca

down the gangplank Of the steamer
Ohio on her arrival here from Nome,
says the Seattle Star.
According TO a warrant which has
been issued for his arrest, charged
with deserving his sick wife and two
little children, "Bill' has been a
mighty mean man.
His wife, Bera Beatrice Gates, be-
gan suit for divorce in the local
courts on June "a last, and the court
ordered saltwater Bill" whose real
name is William G. Gates, to pay tenn
porary alimony pending the hearing
of the divorce suit. Bill" according
to the warrant which was issued by
Judge Hiram Hatch, now sitting in
Judge Tallmans court, skipped out
for the bleak and barren Eldorado OF
Seward peninsula, and left his wife
and two children, Fred Louis Gates,
aged 5, and Clifford Lewis Gates, aged
four, in destitute circumstances. In
addition to that, the wife Is i'll and ut
terly unable to support herself and the
little boys.
Mrs. Gates got a tip from her
mother, who is at Nome, that "Bill''
had left Nome on the Ohio, 10 days
ago, and was coming to Seattle,
lousy with money"
IL appears from the advices from
the north, that "Bill's" mother-in-law
had attempted to persuade the recre-
ant husband of her daughter to re-
turn to Seattle and take care of his
wife, or at least send her enough
money to keep her and the children
out of the poorhouse. 1t is reported
that "Pill' told his mother-in-law to
go and forget it 1t was then that
Mrs. Gates was informed of "Bilis
departure for Seattle laden with. yea
much fine gold dust In his bulging
poke. the same which will be dug inta
by the court when Bill" arrives.
Mrs. Gates asks for only $4,000 tenn
| porary alimony to get her out of debt
to help support herself and children
| to nav for her attorneys i'm the divorce
proceedings, but she will eventually
ask for an equitable distribution OF
"Bill's' property. which is claimed tc
be worth at least 100000. and which
Mrs. Gates greatly fears he will at
tempt to dispose of in such a way thai
| she cannot get her share of ii.
| The warrant for Gates arrest was
issued because Mrs. Gates feared that
her derelict hubby" would attempt
to get outside the jurisdiction of the
| local courts as soon as he got to Sc
attic a1d had his "clean up" plantc l.
When "Bill' arrives he will be kep'
in custody until the divorce case Is
decided. unless he sees fit to put uT
a bond for $4,000 as a guarantee thai
, he will appear to defend the action
He will also have to show cause why
he should not pay the alimony previ
ously awarded his wife.

! The probing of land frauds, the
prosecution of those who have been
implicated in robbing the government
of its public domain. and an increased
caution in patenting public timber
I lands during the past year, has had
the effect of materially decreasing the
government receipts from the disposal
of its public domain.
In consequence the last annual con-
tribution of the reclamation fund, in
stead of equaling that of 1904 is more
than $4,000 600 behind. and the pres
ent year, which will expire on June 80
! next, promises to show even smaller
receipts, says the report that comes
from Washington, d. c.
But in spite of the check that has
! been placed upon the operations of
timber and land thieves, a goodly sum,
about s5.OOO,OOO was derived from
the disposal of public lands last year,
and out of this total il is estimated
that s4.75T,97S will find its way into
the reclamation fund. making that
fund, on June 80 last, reach the grand
total of S2S,02S.570.
Public land business so gauged by
cash receipts. reached its maximum in
1903 More money was turned into
the reclamation fund in that year than
will ever be set apart for this object
in any future year.
! The aggregate contribution in 1903
was nearly s9,O00,00O. In 1904 it fell
to a little below 100000. and this
year, 1t is less than s5,0OO.OO0. with
prospects of a further decline in the
future.
But there is this assurance-within
the next two or three years some OF
the money that has been taken from
the reclamation fund and used in the
construction of irrigation works, will
find its way back to the fund as set.
tiers under completed projects. make
payments for their water as required
by law
These repayments will be slow al
first. but once the system is i'm full
swing, the refunds will aggregate
many millions each year.
At the close of the last fiscal year
on June 30, 1905. the government re-
ports show that Oregon has contribute
ed more money to the reclamation
fund than any other state. for Oregon
has made heavier returns of casi
from the disposal of tbs public land
than any other state.
The reason why has been mad
quite apparent. Oregon's choice tim
ber has been grabbed more rapid,
than that of any other state. Becaus
of its heavy cash returns Oregon hell
the record for land business in 1870
and in 1908.
Prior to that North Dakota took tn
lead. Now North Dakota is forgini
ahead, and promises to outrank Ore
gon within year or two, for the re
ceipts from timber lands i'm Oregon
are falling off very rapidly, Will,
North Dakota shows n much smalle
decline.
Strange as ii may seem. Oklahoma
the third largest contributor to tn,
reclamation fund, has not received tn,
slightest benefit from the national re
clamation law. and not a cent out o.
the big fund has been set apart fol
work in that territory. Washington
is close follower after Oklahoma ant
is the fourth largest contributor to the
reclamation fund.
