ANXIOUS PENDLEToN PEOPLE.
Continued from Pege 1.

and ever since the first receipt Of news
this morning they have been anxious
ly awaiting for further tidings. Sew
eral travelling men who are here have
families in the stricken city and they
have tried In vain to communicate
with them. Mr.. Strauss, the wool
buyer, is among this number, and E.
H. Clarke also has relatives there.
Mrs. j. Sheuerman has two brothers
employed in the Occidental hotel,
which fell this afternoon.
Among the local people having rel
atives in San Francisco are Leon CO.
hen, Fred Lampkin, Frank OGara
Lee Drake, Mrs. Fred Lockley, Mrs
Helen Whittemore, A. II. Waite, Mrs.
r. w. Henneman and w. f. Taylor
However, this number Is but a small
fraction, as almost every other fam
lily in the city has relatives or friends
in San Francisco.
Among former residents of San
Francisco the terrible earthquake this
morning recalled a similar one In
1868. During that year a shock oc-
CURED which did great damage, and
through fear of a recurrence no brick
buildings were erected in the city
for many years.
Golfers Establishment Gone.
c. H. Thompson, representative
of the p. F. Collier Publishing COM
pany, is in the city today and received
news that the Collier Publishing
house on Mission street, in the heart
of the ruined district has lost its en-
tire property, valued at $4,000. This
was the wholesale and jobbing dis
trict, and suffered severely on account
of the closely crowded high buildings.
Lash Bitters House Wrecked.
w. ID. Joiner, a travelling represen-
tative of the Lash Bitters company
of 116 Second street, San Francisco,
left for home this afternoon, on hear
ing that his company's establishment
was ruined in the earthquake. The
house was in the thickly populated
wholesale district and was anong the
ruins of the early morning.
Other Travelling Men Concerned.
Other travelling men now in the
city who have families living In San
Francisco are Fred E. Bernstein, F..
F. Rockfellow and Joseph Kragen.
All of these men have been trying
vainly to learn concerning thel; loved
ones during the day
According to those familiar with
San Francisco most of the ruined por-
ton is in the wholesale district. Mis-
sion, Battery, Sansome, Davis snd
Drum streets being all devoted 10
large wholesale houses. However
Market street. which has been the
scene of heavy damage, is the main
business street of the city. The Va
lencia hoted, which went down this
afternoon, is three miles IRON the
other portion affected.

Something of the immensity of the
work of irrigation In the United
States is shown in the following brief
review of the subject by c. ]. Blan-
chard in the Geographical Review:
In the last quarter of century a
crop producing area of 100000
acres, equal in size to the state of
Massachusetts,, has been wrested from
the desert.
Irrigation canals long enough to
span the earth twice and representing
an outlay of s90,000,000, have been
built. Every year this area returns
a harvest valued at nearly twice the
cost of the. irrigation canals. The
United States is today the largest own
er OF the great American desert-no
doubt as Mr.. Blanchard explains, be-
cause it was not considered worth
stealing. For many years the senti-
ment has been growing that the gov
ernment should make this vast empire
habitable and this sentiment crystal
lied into the reclamation law, signed
by President Roosevelt on June Il,
1902.
The first of the great irrigation
works to be undertaken by the gov-
ernment is in Nevada. In the bed of
an ancient lake, Lahontan, and en-
bracing what was long known as Forty
Mile desert. the most desolate and
arid spot on this continent except
Death Valley, the engineers completed
the plans for an extensive irrigation
work involving some rather novel en-
gineering features, the greatest and
most important of which is that of
lifting the waters of the Truckee river
into the great canal, which will carry
them oven into the Carson river reser-
voir, whence they are diverted into
laterals and carried out upon the des-
ert.
When completed, the Truckee- Car
son works will cost more than S9,O00,-
900 and render productive more than
100000 acres now absolutely worth
less, but which, when irrigated, will
sell readily for $4,000, 900, it is esti-
mated.
Since the beginning of the Truckee-
Carson project others of equal mag
nitude have been started by the gov
ernment in different parts of the
west.

MAY YET HANG.
Franklin County Man Almost Forgot
ten in County Jail

Walla Walla, April 1S.-oscar
Bradshaw, who has been an inmate
of the Walla Walla county Jail for
the past three years from Franklin
county will be taken back to Pasco
on May 8, when Prosecuting Attorney
W. d. Schutt will move the court to
sentence the prisoner pursuant to the
verdict returned by the jury nearly
three years ago.
Bradshaw was at the time of his
conviction of the crime of murder in
the first degree, sentenced to hang,
but notice of an appeal was given by
his attorneys in the superior court
and a stay of execution granted. The
appeal to the supreme court was never
perfected by his attorneys and all pa
pers In connection with the case have
since disappeared.
Bradshaw was brought to the
Walla Walla county Jail for safe keep
ing during the supposed pendency of
the appeal, and he has been here ever
since. The matter was taken before
the supreme court last winter and
dismissed.

ENoCH ARDENS IN RUSSIA.
Many Soldiers Widows Have We'd on
Hearing News From the Front.

st. Petersburg, April 1s.-Curious
domestic complications have arisen
out of the return of Russian soldiers
VINO, while prisoners, were reported
dead.
Many of them have found their
wives again welded, and one instance
mas come to light where a woman,
VINO supposed herself a widow, now
Is legally the wife of two men. The
temperance of husband No. 1 found
her the mother of a child by husband
No. 2. The first husband was willing
to relinquish his claim to his sue
cessor for $25, but the latter did not
nave the money, and the matter was
referred to the village priest.
Finally 1t was arranged that the
wife should return to her first love,
but that the boy being born in we'd
lock with husband No. 2, should be
cared for by the latter and bear his
name.

Fuel Famine i'm Idaho.

Last week Justice Swan fined Nat
Whitney sS for taking coal from Short
Line cars. He had to do it. AS was
stated last week, railroad detectives
caught him in the act and secured
warrant for his arrest. Had he de-
manded a jury trial. he would pos
sibly have been acquitted.
The coal famine has become acute
during the past week. since the eve
nings have become cool and fires are
necessary for comfort. Dealers can't
get a pound delivered-there Is sim
ply nothing doing. Railroad officials
will give no explanation as to why
they persistenly refuse to haul coal
for private parties. In effect, they
act like the Chink when you make a
kick to him. He does not want to-
pretends not to understand and, with
eXpressionless face, repeats: "Me nc
sable; me no sable"

become that good citizens have beer

BRIEF RECORD OF
COUNTY EVENTS
Special
Correspon-
dence


its nearly quarter of million
freight and passenger cars, the Penn
sylvania. railroad is having them all
REMEMBERED. 1t is gigantic task,
one that will take fully year to COM
plete, but when the work is done
there will be none of the confusion
which has brought grief to the Penn
sylvania car record office and car
accountants of other roads.
Troubles arose from the fact that
every one of the individual compan-
les which go to make UP the Pennsyl-
vania system had its own car numbers.
In addition to that, the similarity OF
the legends 'Pensylvanian" and
pennsylvania company" often caused
one name to be reported when the
other should have been. In the sys-
tenn there might be eight or 10 cars
with the same number, and II the small
initials of individual ownership were
left out of a report there was no way
of telling what car was really meant

enderoin steak costing from rs cents to $3.50, and
the waiter attempted palm off you tough roun
steak worth about Is for $1.00, claiming it to be

think of the place, its character and its methods?

CRAZY WOMAN TO OREGON.
Holy Roller Fanatics Still "White
Elephant i'm Seattle.

Fearing the political effect of a
condemnation by the supreme court
of his action in ordering Esther Mitch
ell and Maud Hurt Creffield, the muir
derers of George Mitchell, deported
to oregon, Superior Judge Frater has
employed George H. Walker, local
attorney, to represent him in the su-
preme court next Friday when the
matter comes up for hearing says
the Seattle News. The attorneys for
the two women will also appear in
an effort to have the courts action
upheld.
The action of Judge Frater estab-
fishes a precedent in this state. This
is the first time that a Judge has ever
taken sufficient personal interest in
one of his decisions to employ council
to have it upheld. The practice is fol

to make the fight for the upholding
of the courts order.
