SAVE MULTN0MAH
BEAUTIFUL FALLS
ARE NOW THREATENED.
Efforts Being Made by Arthur c.
Spencer, Assisted by the State, TO
Preserve the Natural Wonder
Land at the Falls Has Been Located
by Wcathcrby in Hopes of Securing
the Power OF the Falls.

Mulmomah Falls, one OF Oregon's
greatest natural wonders, is almost at
the mercy of private individuals, who
propose diverting it's waters for the
sake of water power. II the scheme
should be successful the great cataract
would he entirely destroyed, in fact.
the falls themselves would be COM
pletely wiped out.
Yesterday the state land board met
to discuss the threatened danger to
the falls. y tract OF land above the
cataract, $40 acres in ALL has been
filed on by one George Weatherby
under the federal act of 1899. If he
is able to. secure his title to the land,
he would have power to divert all
water that now falls over the mighty
cliff, and lead it wherever he wished,
and there convert II into power.
The cause of all the people of the
state who wish this wonder of nature
preserved in all its pristine beauty,
las been taken up and championed by
Arthur c. Spencer, an attorney of
Portland. He has sent to the state
land agent check for S53.10, claiming
that he has the right of purchasing
he land from the state. His claim
has been recognized, and he has been
authorized by the state 10 contend at
law with Weatherby for the title to
the land.
Weatherby claims the land under
title from the federal government
spencer will rest his rights on the fact
that the land did not belong to the
government to sell, as it is swamp
land, and that title to all such land is
vested in the state. However, some
time ago when the state claimed the
land in question from the government
on these grounds, the claim was dis.
allowed as the federal land depart.
ment asserted 1t was not swamp land
The land, possession of which give.
the owner control OF the water of the
great falls, lies just above the grea
cliff, at the mouth of Multnomah or
as it is called, Coon creek. 1t is tech
! nically described as lot 4, section I
| township l north, range east.
Arthur Spencer, who will take NJ
the states cause to secure the preser
walton Of the falls, is attorney for th'
o. r. & n. company. who are thu
understood to sanction the figh
against the desecration of the falls.
Multnomah falls are known far an
wide as one of the wonders of tn
west. Passing trains are always stop
ped at the spot, and the passenger
given an opportunity TO view thei
beauty. The state, in authorizing MI
spencer to sue for possession of tn
land, indicates its intention to d.
whatever it can to assist in the pres
ervation of the falls.

Flower. with Vegetables.

You can't eat your cake and have II
too. II you cut flowers all over your
grounds, particularly near the house,
the place will not look Its best. More
over we none of us have enough cut
flowers for house decorations and to
give away. If you plan to raise Il great
many flowers for cutting In beds and
borders you are simply inviting back
ache and hours Of unnecessary work.
The cheaper. easy and sensible way Is
10 have separate place for raising
flowers that you want for cutting. Sc
lect a place that is out Of the way. SO
that the removal Of the flowers will not
spoil the garden or landscape effect,
The vegetable garden is just the place,
because you can have long, straight
rows and cultivate them easily by
horse or wheel hoe. You can trust an
ignorant laborer to hoe anything that
is IN straight lines, but he is the ruin
of an informal horier.--Garden Maga.

San Francisco, New. 1.-THE West
ern Pacific stockholders, through
proxies, met in this city yesterday af-
ternoon and authorized the board of
directors to issue second mortgage
bonds TO the amount of S25,OOO,0OO.
Fifty millions of first mortgage bonds
have already been sold. The latter
may be sufficient to build the main
line between San Francisco and Salt
Lake. II not, then the second mort
gage bonds will be made use Of.
President E T. Jeffery of the company
is of the opinion that none Of the sec
ond mortgage bonds will have TO be
called upon. Authority TO issue them
has been taken as a matter Of good
faith towards the buyers Of the first
mortgage bonds.
The Utah Construction company
which has the contract to build the
new road between Oroville, this state,
and salt Lake, is engaged in the work
Of laying a pipe line for distance of
over 40 miles TO be used for piping
water from springs in the mountains
west Of the great Salt Lake to grading
headquarters in the Great American
desert. Heretofore water has been
hauled by teams and has caused much
delay. Three pumping stations are to
be installed.
AS part of its grading equipment
the Utah Construction company has
purchased six new light locomotives
and lot OF steam shovels. Its grad
ing work west from Salt Lake will be
light for about 40 miles, and the latter
will have but few curves.
The route from Salt Lake follows
an almost direct line over flat land to
the southern edge OF Great Salt lake,
and then skirts the southwestern
edge of the lake to a point in the
West mountains, where an easy pass
has been located leading to the des-
ert On the latter tract the work Is
only difficult on account of water,
now overcome.
Governor John Sparks Of Nevada
has been given a s1,50O.000 contract
TO supply food for the Utah Construc-
ton company's forces during the next
three years. These forces will number
by next spring 10000 men.

CANADA ELECTRIC SMELLING.
DIR. Hercult and Others After S15, ZOO
Prize.

Montreal, Que, Nov. 17.-Dr. P. l..
T. Hercult, technical director of the
French Electro o-Metallurgical Society,
of La Praz, France, and the inventor
of a we'll known process of electric
smelling of metals, has been on a visit
to Canada for the purpose of conduct
ing experiments in electrical smelling
on behalf OF the Canadian govern
ment.
1t win be recalled that the domin-
ion parliament voted $4,000 for such
experiments after o. Haanels COM
mission had reported upon the Eur
opean works where steel is produced
by electrical processes. The domin-
ion experiments, from which great
things are expected, will be conducted
at Sault Ste Marie.
DIR. Hercult will visit Syracuse, N.
Y, where a steel company is erecting
plant under his license, for electri-
cal production of so to 100 tons OF
steel daily. This plant will produce
tool steel and high class steel billets

The Shining Face of Moses.

All down through the ages mis-
take has been perpetuated as to the
meaning of the Hebrew word "karan."
ito emit rays like horns" 1t is the
word used in Exodus xxxiv, 90. to
describe the shining face of Moses aft
er he had talked with the Lord The
Septuagint translated it into Greek.
"his head was horned" So all through
the middle ages and the period of great
Italian art the Vulgate had it (whence
Michael Angelo and other artists got
the idea, Angelo giving to Moses two
famelike locks of hair on the head;
the Cranmer Bible and the Douay
Catholic English Bible continued the
queer error. King James version at
last got it right, ''the skin of Moses
face shone, and Moses put the veil
upon his face" etc.

CoalinE the Sun.

Coaling the sun is an expression used
by physicists to indicate the necessity
OF renewing the stock Of motive power,
exactly analogous to coaling a vessel
for an ocean journey. Many maintain
that this is done by the incessant show
ers of meteorites which rain in upon it
from celestial space. Thus it is that
the suns energy is continually kept up
and its fires are fed. Atom after atom
in the continuous collisions of matter
is changed into vapor and adds its
quota of energy to the great central
storehouse-in fact, Goals the SUM-"

SHEEP WAR THREATENED.
VIII Sheep Be Allowed to Range in
the Teton Basin?

st. Anthony, Nov. 17.-There is a
basin that may have to be regulated
by the strong arm OF the law one of
these days. Recently the state leased
several thousand acres of school land
in that section to a sheepman. but the
lease is being held up, 1t is said, pend
ing the decision of the citizens OF that
part OF the county, who are engaged
in the cattle industry, as to whether
or not they desire to lease the land.
Should they so desire the land will go
TO them; otherwise, the sheepmen will
take the lease. 1t is stated the cat
tlemen have come TO the conclusion
that they do not want the land, and
neither do they propose to have it oc-
Cupied by the sheepmen.
A gentleman who has the land
leased, in case the cattlemen do not
take it as offered them, was heard to
remark this morning that he proposes
to use the same for the purpose of
grazing his flock of sheep thereon,
well knowing that the effort will mean
trouble, but he is Of the belief that
the state will back him in his efforts
to control the land.
The feeling against sheepmen is very
bitter in that section, and only few
years ago a whole band of sheep were
killed by irate cattlemen, on the
owner of the sheep driving them to
that section. Only last week Peter
Hanson lost his sheep camp by burn
ing. Once an effort is made to stock
that particular section with sheep
trouble is certain TO ensue.

In mythology Parnassus, mountain
In central Greece, was sacred to the

Apollo was on Its slope and from be-

THE BETTER HALF.

Some men were talking Of Mrs
Chadwick, and from her the CONVEX
sation drifted to other women who
had made court records. Then the
editor was asked il be really BE-
lieved that women were better than
men"
Sure.
And we had supposed that all right
thinking men would agree in that
belief.
True, there is a sort Of philosophy
which says when a woman sinks into
the depths Of crime she sinks lower
than a man can sink. But it Is not
true-Ouly apparently. Woman tall-
from loftier height, that is all. Go
70 the slums in any city and find the
lowest woman creature. You need
not search long to find a man lower
down
1t is also true that the older school
Of fiction was forever teaching the
doctrine that in every crime there
was "a woman at the bottom Of it,"
The newer school is beginning to see
the truer doctrine-that woman is at
the bottom Of nearly all the good
there is in the world.
Woman is the better half.
Fancy what society would be
without her. Remove the might Of
her gentleness. Masculine force
would clash with masculine force.
The stone age would BE- restored

COMPULSORY
EDUCATION.

The Short Talks man Of the Times
Union, in his interesting column last
Sunday, said: "CompulsOry educa-
ton may have its hardships. A
father arraigned in Chicago for the
non-attemdance OF his daughter
said he was unable to find books for
all his flock Of nineteen. and he saw
no reason why Katie should be fav.
ored above the rest. Now" asks
the Short Talks man, What should
the law do in such a case?"
That's quite easy. 1t should fur
nish the books. If the state furn-
ishes the school buildings. warns
them, furnishes maps, globes, black
boards, laboratories for chemical
analysis, etc, as well as Instructors.
why should it not furnish text books?
Under a properly framed compulsory
educational law it should do this.
In many municipalities throughout
the country the text books are pro-
vided along with all other helps 10
an education, and there is enforced
attendance Of all children Of school
age.

SEARCH FOR A CANCER
CURE.

Here is a little light on a dark SUI
ject.
Two years ago in England there
was established X cancer research
fund, with half million dollars on
hand, and the sole object was to
study cancer and if possible discover
cure for a disease which surely
ranks first for malignity and torture.
The experts employed in the work
Of investigation recently made THEN
reports on a years work.
They tell us that civilization has
brought no increase in the spread of
cancer, and that it is a disease Of
animals as well as humans. They
declare that it is not infectious. and
that it is not caused by a parasite.
While from their figures it is shown
that the disease is not increasing in
England, the opposite is the situation
in the United States, where there
were H. 96 cancer victims in 1900. as
against 300 in 1880.
These English experts announce
the discovery Of a serum. which they
hope and believe will produce good
results. But they are rightfully
cautious in making few promises. as
it would be almost a crime to hold
out hope to sufferers, only to blast
that hope later.
Medical experts at Harvard col
lege, who have also been engaged in
cancer investigations, unite with
their English brethren in pronounc-
ing that cancer is neither infectious
nor hereditary, but they are not 50
hopeful concerning the serum for its
cure, They say that the cure is al
most as mysterious as the cause.
By the way, there can be no finer
philanthropy than that which de-
votes money to the Investigation Of
the SO called incurable diseases. The
best minds the world possesses
should be working along these lines
fighting cancer and tuberculosis
those twin scOurages-and there
should never be a question about
funds to carry on the work.
