ANOTHER HOPE FOR MALHeUR.
Senators Propose irrigation. Exc'ud-
ing Wagon Road Lands.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Senators Full
ton and Gearin today called on the di-
rector of the geological survey to see if
it be possible to revive the Malheur ir-
rigation prof oct, now practically dead
They hope the government will do
something that will benefit settlers
owning land in that vicinity and sug-
gested that the original project might
be reduced in re by eliminating the
wagon road land and land included in
the railroad right Of way, which proved
serious obstacles in the way of the first
project.
Director Wolcott promised to give
immediate attention to this request,
and in few days will advise the SEN
ators wheihe or not it will be prac-
ticable to remodel the project as they
have suggested. I such plan is feas
ible, there is some hope that modified
Malheur project may ultimately be
built.

GOOD HAVEN FOa BIG THIEVES
Cannot BE Extra dited From France,
and GERMANY.

Washington, Dec. 80. 1t is proba--
bic that steps will soon be taken bv.
the State department to secure a revis-.
ION of the existing extraditon treaties.
with France and Germany. Recent
events have drawn cttention to some
very serious defects in the old conven-
tions, and it is feared that before long
France and Germany will become ha-
vens OF refuge for a certain class Of
American criminals.
Within the past fortnight, the chief
OF police Of Hoboken rabled a request
to the Paris municipal authorities to
arrest and return to the United States
a man named Sasola on the charge Of
grand larceny. The French authorities
were surprised at this request, coming
not through the American embassy,
and, finding that no regular application
had been made for extraditiOn, placed
him at liberty. In the course Of the,
proceedings it was discovered that.
there was absolutely no provision in
the extradition treaty for the surrender
OF person charged with grand larceny.
The treaty with Prussia and tn, Ger
man states, made in 1852, likewise,
|ails to include garnd larceny as an ex-
raditable crime.

SAVES HALF DAY.
Reduction in Schedule of rransconti-
mental Mails.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The postmaster
general has announced what, from q
postal standoint, is regarded as one OF
the most important changes in rail
way mail schedules that have occurred
in many years, affecting all points in
the East having business with points
west OF the Mississippi river. 1t be-
comes effective December 81.
A change Of the schedule on the
Union Pacific railway between Omaha
and Ogden, Utah, and on the Southern
Pacific between Ogden and San Fran
cisco, with supplemental changes on
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and
Chicago q Northwestern railroads be-
tween Chicago and Omaha, reduces the
time of mail in transit between New
York and San Francisco west bound,
and between the same points east
bound, practically "a hours. A bust
ness day is saved each way.
Direct com ecton is made at Ogden
with train from Green River, via Po-
ratello, Idaho, and Huntington, Or, to
Portland, expedting mail for Oregon,
Washington and Idaho l2 hours.

BUY FORESTRY BUILDING.
State Board of Agriculture Proposes
Moving It to Salem.

Salem - At the meeting OF the stat,
board of agriculture last week John H
Albert, of the Lewis and Clark fail
commission, submitted a communi
cation suggesting that the board take
steps to secure the forestry building
erected at the Lewis and Clark fail
and move it to Salem.
Mr.. A lbert said that neither the city
of Portland nor the Oregon Historical
society has taken action toward preserv-
ing the building, and he thought it
would be good plan to move the
structure to Salem and erect it in the
state fair grounds near the Southern
Pa itic track, where all persons passing
on the trains could see it. He thought
the huge structure OF logs would not
only be an attraction at the state fair,
but when SO situated would be a per-
petual advertisement for Oregon's tim
Der resources.
The Board of Agriculture appointed
a committee composed of w. II. Down
ing, j. d. Matlock aud Frank Lee to
ascertain the cost of transporting the
building to Salem, and also whether
the owner of the land upon which the
now stands will permit it to
remain there until the Legislature meets
in 1907.

tanned in craftsmanship and their re-
gard for cipline.

serve, to put the army on a war footing

YERkES is DEAD.
Complication of Diseases Carries Off
Builder Of Street RAILWAYS.

New York, Dec. 80. - Charles T
Yerkes, the noted railway tinancier oi
Chicago and London, died last night in
his apartments at the Waldorf-Astoria
hotel, where he had been i'll for more
than six weeks. Mr.. Yerkes suffered
from a complication of diseases, grow
ing out of severe cold which he con-
tracted in London early in the fall.
His condition had been critical for ten
days past, and the attending physicians
gave up all hope several days ago, al
though members of the family clung
tenaciously to the belief that the re-
markable vitality of Mr.. Yerkes would
eventually pull him through. Since
early yesterday morning the patient
had been kept alive by strong stimu-
lants.
Charles Tyson Yerkes was born at
Philadelphia, Pa. June %, 1887. The
Yerkes family is of Dutch origin, the
first settlers of the name coming to
America few years before the arrival
of the Quaker colony under William
Penn. G. T. Yerkes was educated at
the Friends school and Central High
school, of his native city, and began
his business life as clerk in the flour
and grain commission and forwarding
house of James P. Perot & Bros, being
presented with salary of $50 at the
end of his first year.
His latest exploit was to revolution
ize the rapid transit system of London.
He built system of underground elec-
tric lines, which shines by contrast
with the old Metropolitan (under-
ground) railway in every particular,
having pure air, clean stations, c.ean
and comfortable cars. He then secured
of the Metropolitan, after con-
test before a commission of parliament,
against j. p. Morgan, and has been en-
gagged for several years in Transforming
It into an electric system.

ESTIMATE COST
OF FUTURE WORK
Little Actual Progress Yet Made on
Panama Canal.
Commission Outlines Vast Task of
Preparation, Almost Completed -
Isthmus Has Been Made Healthy
as First Essential-PayroII is Now
100000 a Month.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Conditions
on the Isthmus of Panama and the
progress which is being made on the
gigantic enterprise before the Canal
commission were set forth in the an
nual report of that body for the year
ending December ! submitted to Presi-
dent Roosevelt today. According to
the report, the work up to this time
has been confined mostly to the prepar-
atory operations, although some exca-
walton work has been in progress W hich
will be mostly of use in making esti-
mates upon the cost of future excava-
tion. Sanitary conditions has also re-
ceived much attention, and as result
the health of the isthmus is now in
good shape.
While this preparatory work has
been in progress, very little has been
done in the way of actual excavation.
Eleven steam shovels have been in
operation in Culebra cut and approxi-
mately 900 900 cubic yards of mate
rial have been removed. By this work
the levels of the cut are being put in
condition for the installation of the
largest number of machines which can
be effectively operated, and data is
being gathered which will be useful for
of the cost Of future construc
tion.
The chief engineer, John F. Stevens,
reports that the working year will be
Of only eight months, due to the rainy
sea 'on. The problem of the Culebra
cut is simply a matter of disposing of
5he material excavated. He also states
he necessity of obtaining more effi-
;lent labor, and asserts that there are
exceptional opportunities for young
nen from the United States TO secure
,ood positions.
A thorough business administration
If affairs on the istnmus, he says, is
ssential. The old railroad used by
he French company, was in bad con-
ltion, especially the rolling stock.
The payroll OH the isthrnus AT pres
mt amounts to approximately $780,
90 month. An immediate appropri-
tion is therefore nee, ssary.

Salem-Agents are travelling over

travelling libraries. In some instances
they represent themselves as being au-

commission has no travelling book
agents, nor has it authorized any one
to solicit orders for travelling libraries
or books to he included in travelling H..
braries. Wherever such cases have
been reported to the Library commits
sion steps have been taken to advise
people not to patronze these agents.

DO GREAT WRONG TO ARIZONA.
Joint Statehood With New Mexico
Condemned by President.

New York, Jan. 2.-James Douglas
who is the executive head of the min
ing enterprises in Arizona, grouped as
the Phelps, Dodge & Co. interests, is
quoted today regarding his views upon
the proposed joint statehood of Ari.
zona and New Mexico. Mr.. Douglas
says, among other things:
ITO force Arizona into union with
New Mexico is to do great wrong to
the people of the former territory, who,
in racial antecedents, religious prefer
ences and industrial interests, are
wholly unlike the inhabitants of New
Mexico. New Mexico has a population
sufficient to justify her admission as a
single state, and the people of Arizona,
among whom l have spent more than
25 years of my life, would rather wait
20 years for statehood than be Joined
to New Mexico.
I'm the event of joint statehood, the
vast interests in Arizona would be out
voted and SO controlled in the matter of
taxation by the greater population of
the present territory of New Mexico,
which is vastly less mpoltant in the
value of its taxable property.
II can we'll understand that it may
seem desirable to substitute state
government for the territorial form
whenever it can be wisely accom-
olished, and can a,so appreciate the
considerations that are in
7olved in the contention for joint state
hood, but neither should outwa Ugh the
Injustice that would be involved in
uch an unfit alliance as that of Ari-
ona and New Mexico
