Reclamation Service Blocks Line Sur

II is announced that the proposed
new railroad up the Deschutes has
been abandoned on account of clash
with the government on irrigation
projects. Such at least is the an
nouncement appearing in the Dufur
Dispatch, which has for some reason
or other been posted on the inten-
tons Of the company. 1t says:
AS IT Is impossible to follow the
Deschutes river with a line located
over 100 feet above the surface of the
stream, there will be no railroad into
the rich central Oregon country by
the Deschutes canyon route.
Instead, the Hartman system will

down the Deschutes by that company

the field-the Oregon Trunk Rail-
road company, which was formed for
the purpose of entering the same ter
ritory.
The reason the two lines have been
suspended is because the United
states reclamation service proposes
TO construct dam across the strea m
which will tower TO a height of 90
rect above the surface and 1t is plan
ned to install extensive pumping IA
cilities to secure water power for the
generation of electricity, which will

construction had actually been
begun by the Oregon Trunk when
notice was received from Washington
through the land office at The Dalles
to the effect that the reclamation
service had made filing for water
power on the Deschutes.

THREE MURDERS
IN ONE MONTH
MYSTERIOUS CRIMES
ALONG SNAKE RIVER
Three. Murdered Men Found In About
the Same Place Within the Past 30
Days-NelsOn Melander,. Snake
River Ranchcr, Arrested at Ritz
Vile for the Crimes.

Within the past month three mur-
ders have been committed along
Snake river between Wallula and Ri
paria, and at last the authorities of
the river counties have been aroused.
The murders have been similar In de-
tails each victim having been thrown
into the stream after having the head
crushed and the body otherwise mu-
tilated.
Nelson Melander was arrested by
Sheriff Painter Saturday for the last
crime. OF this arrest and Of the mys-
terious murders of the past month,
the Walla Walla Statesman says:
Nelson Melander, the Snake river
rancher, arrested at Ritzville by Sher-
III Painter, Thursday evening, on sus-
picion of being implicated in the muir
der of an unknown man, found in
Snake river near Simmons siding, two
weeks ago, was brought to Walla
Walla late yesterday and lodged in
the county jail.
1t was reported yesterday that Me-
lander was making plans to leave the
country when overhauled by Sheriff
Painter, but this is denied by Melan-
der. who asserts he went to Ritzville
to negotiate for the purchase of a sa-
loon there. Melander quietly sub
mitted to arrest and expressed will
ingness to accompany Sheriff Painter
TO Walla Walla.
The evidence against Melander, so
far, is circumstantial. B. F. Simmons
owner of the Simmons fruit ranch on
Snake river, near where the alleged
crime was committed, was in Walla
Walla today comforting with the Off
GERS.
There is no direct evidence con-
Meeting Melander with the murder OF
the hired man. but there have been
too many murders in that vicinity the
past month to let this one pass with
out an investigation" said Mr.. Sim
mons.
Three Have Been Killed.
within the past month there have
been three murders within two miles
OF my place. one man was found IN
the river with his head crushed in
four weeks ago. The body was buried
without an inquest being held. An
other body. bearing evidence Of foul
play, was fished out of the river three
weeks ago above my place. There
was no formal inquest and the body
was buried on the bank of the river
above my ranch. The Franklin coun.
ty coroner has been criticised for not
making a thorough investigation OF
these cases.
The case of the man alleged tC
have been killed by Melander would
probably have been passed over II
some of the farmers out my way had
not taken the matter up with the Of
ficers. There is little doubt but that
the man was murdered, but whether
by Melander or some one else, is q
question"

OUR STATE BUILDING.

For the Jamestown Exposition Famed
 for Private Use After the Show is
 Over.
 The plans that have been prepared for the states building at the coming Jamestown exposition show that it will be one of the most attractive on the grounds. It has been planned with an eye to future use, as well as for ex hibition purposes, and it Is hoped there fore that the state will recover much of it's outlay. The structure will cost. as already announced, $1S,S00.
 The plans follow quite closely the general character of the famous Colo mel Talmage house in Lltchfield, one of the finest specimens of colonial archi- lecture in Connecticut, which has all ready been described and pictured in "The Couarnt" Various departures from the Talmage house, In the archi- tectural treatment of both the exteriol and interior, were suggested by the Connecticut commission to the archl- tects, Messrs Rossiter & Kright, in or der to adapt the structure to exposi- ton purposes, and, also, to favor its sale, after the exposition, for use by the purchaser as a residence.
 The frontage of the building facing the beach, is seventy-four feet and the depth thirty-four feet. The main en- trance opens on a spacious reception hall, sixteen feet wide. At the rear a wide ornamental stairway ascends tc the next floor, with a stained glass window at the landing. To the left of the hall, opening by an archway, is the reception noom, sixteen by thirty. four feet, with French windows at the rear, opening out on a twelve-foot veranda A large fireplace, midway, is an attraction in this apartment which is designed as the Giving room" when the building passes to private owner- ship. To the right of the main en- trance is the manager office, and to the rear of it the exhibition dining room sixteen by twenty-eight feet. In an ell Is private dining room and kitchen.
 The second floor has two exhibition chambers on the front, which will be fitted with colonial furniture, which the commission has arranged to secure at nominal expense. To the rear of the exhibition chambers are the rooms of the resident commissioner and the manager. On the third floor two rooms will be fitted up for the janitor and others, and the remaining space may be utilized for storage purpose.

high school boys. Moreover, instances of brutality due to excitement were more common among the boys too young to have learned self control or to feel their responsibility.
 For these reasons alone the action of the high school principals in doing all they can to discourage football in their schools is to be commended. When the injury to the studies of the school year is added. when one considers the de- moralizaton of a public school on ac- count of the excitement of the series of games, there is more than ample justification for the view of the prinei- pals.
 The refusal to offer a pennant Is in itself trifing matter, but this refusal is taken by the students, the public and undoubtedly by the principals themselves, to be an indication that football will no longer have the special privileges which have formerly made 1t the chief thing during the first three months of the school year.
 The refusal of the principals to offer championship pennant should be fol- lowed by rule of the Board of Educa- tion for bidding football teams to as- sume the name of a school. The board cannot control all the acts of public school pupils when away from the school premises but this much it can do.
 If parents are ready to run the risk or rather to have the probability thai their sons will be mained or strained in football games, the board can insist 1 that it be not done in the name of the public schools. There may be no way to stop boy from playing football if his parents are willing, but he must not be allowed to pose as a representa-. tive of a school.
 1 The cheerful optimism of paren who believes that his own son is an ex, i ception to the general law of chance is the greatest obstacle with which prin, cipals deal. Statistics cannot pene- trate 1t,
 The principals and the school board who who see year after year the appal. ling total of accidents must do all they can to reduce this total, even if it re quires drastic Measures.-Chicagt Tribune.

nEMONSTRlArrn

According to the Medical Record" |" Gardenghi has demonstrated by expe- rlments with rabbits, guinea pigs and men that sunlight has something im- portant to do with producing blood col orlhg matter in animals as with chlo- rophyl production in plants. The ex- perlmenter, observing his rabbits and guinea pigs, thinks their blood absorbs less iron when they are shut up in the dark, and that the formation of hemo- .globin is retarded. Anyhow, the hemo- globin falls off. ''These observations in animals" says our learned -contempo- rary, have also been confirmed by the writer in the human subject, and he has found that bakers, among others, show this same constant diminution in the hemoglobin percentage; this can be demonstrated within short time after night work is taken up, and it soon be- comes a chronic complaint. No doubt the anne phenomenon could be demon- strated among those engaged in other night occupations, and such workers should be instructed to remain in the open air during the day, when they are not sleeping in order to counteract the influence of the absence of this sun- light when at Work.''
