Can II be tha, the Reclamation

Can II be that the Reclamation
Service Is going to use the same
tactics in Klamath that caused
the people of Nlalheur county to
protest and the final abandonment
Of the project A little more CT
such work will certainly be suf-
hcient 10 show the people of the
West that the money derived from
the public lands is being used to
pay high salaried, empty-headed
officials and instead of our arid
lands being reclaimed we are be
ing handed lemon.
The following is press dis
patch under a Klamath date line
The Klamath Water Users
Association has been notified that
the board of engineers which
visited the Klamath project Oclo-
her last has arrived at the cUnclu-
sion that Il would be necessary to
leave out of the Klamath River
project the bottom of the Lower
klamath Lake, an area Of appro-
ximately 10000 acres. This land
is to be omitted because of ex-
cessive cost OF reclamation, aud
because the engineers deem it adj
vissble that the agricultural value
OF lands OF this character be de.
termined before large sums are
expended in its reclamation The
original area included in the kla-
malh River project was 35o.4o2
acres, but leaving off Lower kla-
ma,h Lake reduces the total
area to 100000 acres
The board Of engineers, through
Supervising Engineer ID. &. Hen
ny, have also given the Water
Users Association the iniorma-
,ion that, owing to labor condi.
tions and an advance in the cost
OF materials, the work done up In
this time has cost IS per cent
more than the estimated cost.
The board goes still further and
states that the cost Of reclaiming
klamath lands will be no, less
than Sss per acre, and may reach
$50, not including the cost of
maintenance. The latter cost,
however, is very small.
Bu, ever $50 an acre is nearly
double the original estimate Of
SIS. The lands of klamath
County will stand the $50 an acre
tax Il It is necessary, and few will
register a complaint, but when il
come, to emitting portions of the
project because the engineers do
not know whether the land will
be productive, Klamath County
people nigh, suggest that the
Reclamation Service employ a
more competent corps Of soil eN.

LIQUOR MEMS BILL
IN LAWYERS HANDS
JUDD, MOTT SMITH & HEMENWAY
ARE PUTTING THE LIQUOR BILL
IN SHAPE.

At present there is in the hands of
Judd, MOtt-Smith & Hemenway the
draft of the liquor bill which is to be
submitted to the coming legislature by
the liquor men. Hemenway and Mott
Smith both figured during the last ses-
sion as the drafters az two bills which
were the subject or many heated dis
cussions. For this reason they were
chosen by the liquor men to draft a
bill which would incorporate the main
ideas adopted i'm their report to the
Liquor Dealers Protective Association
and still comply with the law
When the attorneys have completed
their work with the draft they will sub
NIT IL to a committee of liquor men
who in turn viii pass upon it and If
found satisfactory to them they will
submit 1t to the legislature. This COM
mittee has full power to act for the
liquor men and consists of c. j, Nc
earthly chairman, A. Wurtz, A. Hook
ing, j. NJ. Camara and p. f. Ryan.
There will be no further meetings or
the liquor men as a body before the
legislature meets. All is left in the
hands of the committee.

Not To

INFORMED BY GOVERNOR
NOT CARRY INSURANCE.

Land Commissioner Pratt conferred
with Governor Garter this morning re-
lative to the matter OF placing insur-
ance on the new property acquired by
the government in the Lanai land ex-
change The Maertens and the Hop
per properties both have houses on
them and Pratt desired to inquire if it
was customary for the government TO
carry insurance on its buildings.
The Governor stated that it was not
the custom, so it is likely that no in
surance will be put On the new build
ings. That seems to be a matter for
which the legislature might be asked
an appropriation. The legislatures in
times past have not made any such APP
preparations.

A WONDER WORKER DEAD.

The annual business Of the United
States alone in coal tar dyes Is said
to approximate 500. 000. 100, and yet
the disooverer Of the process died only
about ten years ago.
By forming the coloring matter now
known as aniline purple OR mauve
from benzine the foundation OF this
great industry was laid in 1896 by Sir
William Perkin, then only IS years
old
The fftieth jubilee of the notable
discovery was celebrated last October
both in England aud the United States.
and a banquet was rendered Sir Will
liam in New York by members Of the
dye stuff and chemical trt1es. OF
cours coal tar dyes are used for many
purposes, including the not always
harmless coloring of food products.
but 1t is in the textile industry that
they have found By far their greatest
field.
Their discoverer was the foremost
chemist in carrying them to perfection
and acquired a fortune by their man
ufacture. He was happily not one Of
the many who have benefited the
world and died unrewarded. His death
serves as a reminder how modern are
many things which people have taken
as a matter of course.
