| to Cello, a distance Of eight and a
half miles, and when completed will
furnish the key to the problem Of
cheap transportation from the Colum-
bia river basin to Portland.
"The plans of the canal have been
revised In several important features"
said Colonel RoesSler In discussing
the work, "and no actual construc-
ton work can be done until these
plans are approved. l have elimi-
mated a number OF curves shown in
the original plan, and have projected
an extra lock and have redesigned the
whole question of foundations where
embarkments cross gravel and sand.
"These changes are completed and
negotiations are now under way with
a view of getting permission of own
ers Of land adjoining the right of way
to exchange some Of their land for
portions of the existing right Of way
where we propose to eliminate the
curves.
ut would be difficult to predict
when the canal might be completed
since the rate OF work depends alto
gether upon the appropriations. 1t
is estimated that the whole project
will involve the greater part of $50
100000, and so far about one-flfth
OF that amount has been provided"
Colonel RDessler states that the
new plan will not materially change
the cost Of construction.

Lose 1000 Ties.

Rumble & McCully, who had $4,000
ties manufactured along Looking
Glass creek, lost about 5000 of the
number last Sunday night as the re-
suit of the pressure of the high wa
ters taking out their boom, says the
Elgin Recorder. The zoom had been
constructed with a view of perman-
ence and but little fear had been en-
tertained regarding the safety OF the
ties, and the loss was a surprise to
the owners. The extreme warm
weather Sunday and the few days pre-
ceding caused a great rush of water,
however. which the dam was unable
to Withstand. Seven thousand of the
ties had been taken out prior to the
rush of high water and this fact is all
that saved the entire amount from be-
ing swept into Grande Ronde river.
A few thousand ties still remain In
the creek that will be recovered. The
loss to the owners will be in the
neighborhood of $500, as those which
were swept into the river will never
be recovered.
This is the second time in which
great loss has been sustained in
ties getting away in the Looking
Glass, as W. d. Graves of this city
lost $4,000 in November. 1907, by the
breaking of a dam, caused by unex-
pected high waters. The financial
loss entailed by Mr.. Graves was in the
neighzorhood OF $4,000.

TO SAVE OREGON BIRDS.
Audubon Society Takes Steps for Per-
manent Nesting Places.

Permanent breeding places for
oregon wild fowl in eastern oregon
are being investigated by the Audo-
bon society of Portland and an ef-
fort will be made to have such breed
ing places established among the
tule lakes and upon government and
state lands in eastern and southern
oregon.
As both Governor Chamberlain and
President Roosevelt are in thorough
sympathy with the movement the Au-
dobon society is anxious to secure
the requisite lands Immediately. while
they are still in office and able to
actively assist in the work.
A meeting OF the Portland Audo-
bon society at which the proposed re-
serves were discussed, agreed to send
to representatives of the state society
through the lake region Of the east
ern and southern portions of the state
and they will report back the most
suitable places to the society. A
committee is now at work to raise
funds to carry out the work. says the
! oregon Sunday Journal.
Birds Need Protection.
a committee appointed by the Au-
dobon society, consisting of Miss
Mary f. Isom, Mrs. c. NJ Cartwright,
Clarence II. Gilbert, Mrs j. A. Strow-
bridge and Dr. f. j. Welty, to pro-
vide ways and means and take steps
toward the preservation of bird and
animal life in oregon, handed in their
report at the meeting last night.
Since there has been a rapid de-
crease in many of our wild birds and
animals, throughout our country, It
is thought that the only method Of
saving these creatures is to have cer-
tain places set aside where they may
live without being prosecuted during
the nesting season so they can rear
their young.
The work of the Oregon Audubon
society is especially worthy Of COM
mendation Largely through their
efforts, President Roosevelt set aside
Three Arch Rocks off the Oregon
coast, as a permanent reserve for sea
birds They have used every effort
to put an end to market hunting on
the lakes of southern oregon, and
have in a large measure stopped the
traffic In tern and grebe skins"

REVISED PLANS FOR THE CELLO CANAL

Slowly the work Of opening the
great Columbia river to Transports
ton is proceeding. For years the
people OF the inland empire have
hoped for an open river to the sea
and now this hope seems about to be
realized.
Revised plans OF the government
canal between The Dalles and Celilo
will be forwarded to Washington
soon for approval. Colonel s. w
Roessler United States Corps engi-
neer, is at present securing right OF
way in places where the new plans
alter the course of the canal.
He believes this will be accom-
plished without much delay, since the
owners of the land are willing to ac-
cept in lieu therefor other land re-
linqulshed by the change.
No actual construction work has
been under way on the canal since
the completion Of the last contract
several weeks ago, but Colonel Roess-
Ter slater that It will be resumed as
soon as the new plans are approved
and money appropriated.
Future progress will depend alto
gether upon how literally congress
provides funds. but the engineer in
charge believes the canal could be
completed in four or five years should
all necessary money be made avail
able when desired.
The canal extends from Big Eddy

Shoe Thief Gets Four Years.

NJ. Smith, who was arrested a few
nights ago while in the act of at
tempting to sell shoes on the streets
was Saturday afternoon sentenced
by Judge Crawford to four years in
the penitentiary, says the La Grande
star. Smith was kept in Jail few
days after his arrest pending further
investigation of the circumstances by
the local police and the railroad COM
pany's detective. The prisoner agreed
to divulge the place where the goods,
stolen from a freight car, had been
secreted and this was about all the
Information that could be gained.
Four suspects of the business of box
car rustling were arrested at Pendle-
ton last week and four others are
in custody at Walla Walla. 1t is the
belief on the part of the officials
that they are all of the same gang,
that they are well organized and that
in addition to robbing the railroad
company of goods in transit, the gang
also carries what would be known as
"slde lines" such as burglary and in
fact anything that promises the op-
portunity OF speedy money.

THE MISSOURI DISABLED.
Big Battleship Loses Cylinder Head
Off Santa Barbara.

The battleshlp Missouri, while COM
ing into port today, blew out a cylin-
der head. While this is usually a
very serious accident, nobody was in
jured by the escaping steam and the
battleship took her place in line af-
ter few minutes OF maneuvering
without any trouble, says an item
from Santa Barbara.
The repair ship cannot take care
Of this difficulty as all the drawings
for the machinery Of the ship are in
the control of the construction de-
partment at Washington. 1t will
take three weeks to repair the break,
the delay being occasloned by wait
ing for the drawings.
The Missouri can keep up speed
with the other ships without the use
Of this cylinder and will therefore
probably stay in the line.
It is the only accident OF any Sc
rious nature that has occurred to the
ships since they started on their
cruise. One OF the fleet had to slow up
on the fast run from Magdalena be-

cause OF her port engines having a
slight break, but she repaired It in 10
minutes.
The splendid watchfulness shown
by the engineering corps on the Mis-
souri, was exemplified in the fact that
the instant the head blew out, the
steam was turned off. thereby saw
ing many lives in the engine room.
