Moscow. Aug. 2S.-A stupendous
swindle of the government postoffice
was revealed today. Thousands of
dollars worth of cancelled postage
stamps have been cleaned and made
TO appear new and sold throughout
Russia. Thirty arrests have been
made, Six million Of the cancelled
stamps have been sold in Moscow
alone. 1t is said.
The entire postoffice force in this
city and in the suburban offices is In
volved in the frauds which have been
operated on an immense plan.
Two or three of the so employees
and officials arrested have confessed
to a portion of the plot. Stamps haSs
been collected on various pretexts and
regular shops for cleaning, renovat-
ing and cumming the cancelled
stamps have been conducted.
1t is one of the most daring schemes
of fraud ever discovered, even in
Russian territory and the government
will investigate the condition of all
the leading postoffices in the en-
pire as a result.

Now comes the Wenaha Water &
Power company with a claim to 50,-
900 inches of water from Mckay creek
and they claim that notice of appro-
priation was posted by j. A. Borie
on August "a, two days before that
put up by /. Worthlngton, who filed
upon the Mckay power site yesterday.
If the statements contained in the
appropriation notice recorded this
morning are true then Worthington's
claim to 10000 inches of water from
Mckay is apparently worthless. The
wenaha Power company claims right
tc the water and as they were ap-
parently first in the field, though not
firststo record their notice, they seem,
irgly have the inside track. They
would take the water out at the same
place as would Worthington.
In the notice filed here today the
Wenaha company gives its plans for
developing a power as follows; The
point of diversion is near the corner
OF sections /, 2, IL and -, township
south range 33. At the point of d.
version a dam is to be built and
reservoir made. The right is also
taken to construct two other reser-
voirs not yet located.
From the dam a canal, to be known
as the Mckay canal, is to be run down
to the stream to a point near where
the Mckay flows into the Umatilla.
The canal is to be 80 feet wide at the
bottom, so at the top and eight feet
deep. A right of way for the same is
also taken.
In the affidavit accompanying the
filing notice ]. A. Borie states that
he posted copy of the notice on a
cottonwood tree on Mckay creek on
August "a. Witnesses to the posting
were j. w. Kimbrell and Aaron NJ.
Isaacs.

Judge S. A. Lowell returned from
Coos Bay last evening and is glow
ing in his praise of that section. He
was there to attend the congress Of
the Northwest Development league
and was chasen as the president Of
the association for the coming year.
"If the government had spent any
thing like the amount of money on
Coos bay that it has on other harbors
it would be one Of the finest harbors
on the coast" he says.
"There is now 26 feet of water on
the bar and with an extension of the
jetty and a proper amount of dredg-
ing it could be easily deepened TO 40
feet 1t would then be one Of the
best harbors on the coast" =
A Coming Seaport.
That Coos Bay will eventually be
one of the five big seaports Of the
Pacific is believed by Judge Lowell.
He says that the country is all under
laid with coal, the timber is unlimited
and the country has other resources
that will mean much to it in the fu-
ture.
At present the people of Marshfield
and North Bend are discouraged over
the failure of Hartman to keep his
promise to build a road to the bay
from the Southern Pacific main line.
But it is only matter of time until
a railroad will be built. and then Coos.
bay will develop rapidly.
Though he had but little time to
spend on the bay, Judge Lowell says
that he greatly enjoyed his trip and
the stay at Marshfield and North
Bend. He met many of the Pendle,
ton people while there and reports
that all of them are doing we'll in
their new locations. w. w. Dindin-
ger, Cecil Wade, Fred Gordon, George
Maple, George Curry and F. H. Brig
ham are among the former Pendleton-
ians now there.
