HAS NOT SOLD.


Washington, May IL. - Up to the
present time the government has been
unable to come to any satisfactory ar
rangement with the klamath Canal
company, whereby that corporation
will relinquish its rights and holdings
in the Klamath basin and withdraw
in order that the government may UNI
dertake the construction of the Klam-
ath irrigation project.
At recent conference between Off
Gals of this company and the engineers
of the Reclamation service, the COM
pany renewed it's offer to sell out for
$3.50 900. This offer was rejected.
The figure named is very much more
than the property is worth. An esti-
mate on the property and work done
by the company places the actual value
at not to exceed 500, 900, and 1t is
the general opinion among government
engineers and residents of the Klamath
basin that bonus of $50, 900 addi-
tional is more than ample inducement
to the company to step aside. The
latest advice received by the Reclama-
ton service here is that the company is
holding out for it's own price, and will
not consider an offer Of $l50,000.
1t may be set down as fact that the
government viii not pay $3.50, 900, and
1t is by no means certain that Secretary
Hitchcock will approve the purchase OF
his property at $3.50, 900, although the
natter has never been presented to
him, and will not be until an agree
nent is. reached between the Reclamas
ion service and the canal company.

cannot be made, it is I'M

president told him OF his deep interest
In the Lewis and CLARK exposition and
his regret that he himself could not
attend the opening OF it. He said,
however, that the administration

nothing would be more appropriate
than that the second official OF the ma
ton should represent the president ON
that occasion. Mr.. Fairbanks prompt
ly fell in with the presidents sugges-
ton, and expressed his thorough will
ingness TO go to Portland, and has now
changed bis plans so as to reach Port
land the last week in May. He and
Mrs. Fairbanks will be present and
participate in the opening ceremonies.
The vice president will make the prin-
cipal speech of the occasion.

Terrific Explosion Kills Fifty and iu-

Harrisburg, Pa, May IL. - An ex-
press train on the Pennsylvania rail
road ran into freight train in which
there were two cars loaded with dyna-
mite at l 80 o'clock this morning in
South Harrisburg, near the plant of
the Paxtang Light, Heat and Power
company. Three terrific explosions,
that broke windows all over the city,
followed, and the two trains were com
pletely wrecked and took fire. It was
estimated at o'clock that 30 persons
were killed and 100 injured. though
these figures may be too small.
1t is impossible to ascertain the exact
number of fatalities, because the
wreckage, in which many of the passen
gers and some members of the train
crews are pinned, is still ablaze and
unapproachable, and many small ex-
plosions occur continually.
