The long-deferred visit of Secretary
James r. Garfield of the department
of the interior to the Umatilla irri-
CATION project will now be made in a
short time.
Before leaving San Francisco today
on the battleship Maine for a tour of
inspection of the Hawaiian Islands,
Secretary Garfield said to the United
Press representative that he expects
to visit the Umatilla project on his
return from the islands in a few
weeks, at which time he will make
recommendation as to the methods
Of opening the land under the project
to settlement.
For many months the government
engineers of the Umatilla project have
looked forward to the visit of the Sec
retary to this work and now that he
has definitely announced that ne will
come, elaborate arrangements will be
made by the citizens of Hermiston to
receive him.
Secretary Garfield came west to
witness the fleet festivities on the
coast and will make a thorough in
spection of the Hiwaiian Islands,
after which he will return to the Pa
cific coast states for an inspection
of the reclamation projects.
At the time of his visit, the date Of
which has not yet been announced, it
is hoped by the people of Hermiston
that some definite plans for the OPEN
ing of the remainder of the Umatilla
project will be made.
1t is thought that the secretary will
return about July Is to the coast and
his visit to Umatilla county will be
made soon after his return. BY that
time it is hoped by the engineers to
have the project entirely complete.
In his interview with the represen-
tative of the United Press at San
Francisco today. Secretary Garfield
spoke highly of the Umatilla irfiga-
ton project and praised the work of
the engineers who have the project
N charge. He said that ii had moved
forward most satisfactorily since the
lay it was indorsed by the consulting
engineers.

TELEGRAPHERS MAY STRIKE.
Members of Commercial Union Want
More Pay.

Milwaukee, Wis, June S.-A de-
mand for the same wages which were
paid before the strike OF the telegra-
pliers on the Western Union Tele-
graph company will probably be made
by the national convention OF the
Commercial Telegraphers' union,
which opened here today. Threats
are made of a general strike II the de-
mand is not compiled with.
The locals of the union in num-
ber of cities, including New York,
voted some time ago to make the de-
mand.
They claim that union operators
who returned to work were compelled
to drop out of the union and forfeit
their insurance policies in the labor
organization. They also insist that
the companies have Disseminated
against their former employees, partic-
ularly in women operators.

Weiser, June S.-A mild sensation
was created here when 1t was learned
that Ed Dutton, a well known resi-
dent of this valley, was arrested at
Medford, Ore, and is now in charge
of Sheriff Winkler of this county, who
will return with him as soon as ex-
tradition papers are received. The
crime for which Dutton Is under ar
rest is eloping with the wife of his
brother, George Dutton, who resides
west of town, taking with them the
two children. When the case comes
up for trial some sensational devel-
opments are expected.

Chicago, June S.-New hope was
given the allies today in their battle
against the Taft Roosevelt power in
the republican national committee by
the arrival of Congressman McKin-
ley, manager of the Cannon boom.
Senator Hemenway of Indiana and
Senator Murray Crane or Massachu-
sets, who have been at the head OF
the allies, sent a hurry call for Nc
Kinley
The contests before the national
committee will be continued in ac.
cordance with the statement given
out by the allies last night after they
had given up the plan to save their
power until they could appear before
the credentials committee of the con-
Yention.
Today the fight seemed to be on
with all its original vigor. There is
little doubt but the Taft men will
carry every issue before the commit
tee.
Frank Hitchcock, Tafts manager,
whose presence on the national COM
mittee caused such an outcry, an
nounced today that he would not par
ticipate in the sessions any more.
Solomon Luna, of New Mexico, whose
proxy Hitchcock held, appeared in
the committee room personally.
Hitchcock refused to attend the ses-
slons as assistant secretary of the
committee.
The committee today placed the
Taft delegates from the third con-
gressional district of Florida on the
temporary roll. Hitchcock remained
in the ante-room during the session.
He declared he was certain Taft
would have 700 votes on the first
ballot and said Luna asked him to
take his place until he returned to
Chicago. Charles Carry of Portland,
oregon, sent his proxy to James Nc
Lachlan, who offered it to Hitchcock,
who declined it. The Taft delegates
from the first congressional district
of Georgia were seated at noon.
Taft Gets Them All.
The arrival of Arthur l. Vorys, of
Ohio, the original Taft manager,
coupled with the absence of Hitch
cock from the committee, started the
rumor hat Hitchcock has been sup
planted as Taft's director general. !
Vorys has established separate head
quarters.
Taft delegates from the second and |
third Congressional districts Of !
Georgia were seated this afternoon
The Taft delegation from the first
district of Kentucky was also seated. /
This delegation was contested by Mr.
The Louisiana contest will be the
next taken up.

under control, that building had been
destroyed, as well as the shaft house.
The two buildings were located near

workings OF the mine. these doors
were closed temporarily.
Before taking this precautionary
move, the men working the night shift
