|ORTHERN PACIFIC LANDS
|sfused to Self Their Sagebrush Proper
ty for $3.50 Per Acre---Pen-
dleton People VIII Take
into the Court

There is little doubt In the minds
OF people who are familiar with the
facts that the government will be
successful In compelling the South
ern Pacific to rolinquish its hold
ings but there Is considerable
doubt in the minds OF Pendleton
lawyers and others as to whether
the case of the n. p. is exactly sim
liar
The opinion seems to prevail that
the grant to the Northern Pacific
was unrestricted and that the COM
pany is permitted TO hold its land
Just an long as IL desires and accept
just as high price as IL can Sc
cure.
As the land in question Is now
worth about 500 per acre II will
be seen that those who are making
the fight will have something
worth their while II they succeed in
their efforts

DEVELOPING JAPANESE
WATER POWER

Consul-General Henry b. Miller
of Yokohama invites attention TO
the following report OF an electrical
expert on the possibilities OF devel-
opment OF electrical power In ia
pan:
In the case OF one power site on
the Tashiragawa the construction. OF
a tunnel three and a half miles long
would. Il is stated, secure about Co.
600 horse power. and at another
power site. by means OF about ten
miles OF tunnel and a certain
amount of open canal construction.
10000 horsepower could, Il is re-
ported. be secured. In the first In
stance there Is good reservoir site
for storage. while In the second In
stance advantage would be taken OF
natural lakes. These sites and 9TH
eres which have been surveyed are
In the Fuiiyama district. Additional
sources OF power are near Nikko,
where Lake Chuzeni would form the
large reservoir. and where, with
four miles OF tunneling. a fall OF
2000 feet could be secured. also In
the Lake Inawashiro district, where
the construction OF four miles OF
tunneling would provide upward OF
$4,000 horse power. An inspection
OF the principal statistics over many
years point TO the probability OF the
initial plants giving. even during
periods OF drought, 100000 horse
power.
favorable feature OF the scheme
Is that the power sites Professionally
selected are located within COM
paratiyely short distance OF Toxic.
where, az the outset. the bulk OF
the power would be taken. Between
the capital and the sites referred 10
there Is minimum transmission
distance OF eighty miles and a maxi
mum OF so miles. II Is estimated
that the present requirements OF
Toxic represent $4,000 horsepower
and that plants which will call for
an additional 10000 horse power
are In the process OF erection. These
figures do not, however, include the
electric road from Toxic 20 Yokoha-
ma, or the elevated road which Is
being constructed by the govern
ment In Toxic One OF the chief
power sites Is within 1876 miles OF !
the old capital. Kyoto. and Osaka. /
the Manchester OF Japan. IL only
100 miles distant II Is believed 1
with the growth OF the inteTurban I
tramway systems IN Japan there
will be an immense field for cheap
water power. Owing 10 the high
price OF coal the cost OF steam pow
sr Is high, and the utilization OF
water power should prove an i'm
Dortant factor in the industrial de-
OF Japan.

Fears Amerlcnn E1nnt

Toxic. April s.-Japan is worried
about the negotiations between Rus
sia and the United States concern
ing the administration OF affairs at
Harbin.
The sensationalists connect the
coming of the American warships
with possible future resentions con-
cernlng affairs In South Manchufia.
A Washington dispatch says the
American government has decided
to oppose the action of Russia and
Japan in Manchuria. Advice from
Harbin quote Consuls Fisher as say
ing that the United States govern
ment on its own initiative demands
the abandonment OF Japan's present
status in Manchuria These things
have aroused much comment here,
but the foreign office refuses to ac-
cept an alarmist view of the situa-
tion and states its belief that the
American government Is not opposed
to Japan's present attitude in Man
churia.
