ing for his whereabouts, has been
located in The Dalles, where he has
srent the past fortnight on his way

Good progress is being made on the
Umatilla irrigation project at Hermis-
ton, where the government has plan
ned to irrigate about 10000 acres OF
bottom land About 81 per cent of
the work on the mammoth dam is now
completed, and the main feed canal,
% miles in length, is completed.
Chief Engineer Davis of the re-
clamation service, announces that
one-third, or 1000 acres, of the Una
tilla irrigation project will be thrown
open to settlement some time prior
to January l. Heretofore this has
been much in doubt, but recent re-
ports warrant the preparations to
open the lands. Especially rigid
rules have been adopted to prevent
spectators from taking lands mere
ly to sell in a few months to bona
fide settlers. Davis asserts that the
Umatilla project probably contains
the richest lands, with the best sur
rounding conditions. of all govern
ment irrigation enterprises
There is absolutely no truth in the
statement that the government will
not further prosecute the Oregon land
fraud cases" says acting Attorney
General Russell.

Burned to crisp-Many Hurt.

Wheeling, w. Va, Sept. 29.-F'if-
teen men were killed and a score in
jured, several fatally, at Bellaire,
Ohio, Saturday afternoon, when the
Chicago and Wheeling express on
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
crashed into freight train which
was moving slowly on a siding. The
dead:

The wreck was due, it is said, to
The failure of an operator to throw a
switch. The west bound freight had
received orders to meet the passen-
ger at the western limits of the Bel
laire yards and was moving slowly.
Along the siding where the wreck
occurred, there is a sharp curve
which prevents the engineers OF
eastbound trains from seeing more
than a few feet ahead. The passenger
train swung around the curve rapid
ly, being three hours late, and
should have gone on in safety on the
main line. The switch to the siding
had not been turned and the train
shot into the freight. The worst
damage was done to the smoker
which was telescoped by the bag
gage car. Every occupant of the
smoker was injured or killed. The
passengers in the day coach and the
two Pullmans were tumbled from
their seats, but not seriously hurt.
