May Revive
Malheur Project
Land Owners Must Get Busy and
Sign up.

The only thing that remains TO secure
the revival of the Malheur government
project is for the land owners to sign
up. They had better act quickly and
get this project going before some other
nterprising place gets the funds away
from them. The people in the Boise
valley acted just in tine nick OF time and
today the towns of Caldwell, Nampa,
Middleton, Star, Meridian, Boise and
Kuna have ten years the start of any of
the surrounding towns. Vale, Ontario
and Nyssa had Just as well be cities of
five to ten thousand population with
electric railroads and all modern con
eniences ii the people would Just en-
courage the government little and get
all the land surrounding irrigated. And
it dent take much. Just little hustle
aud confidence. The government does
not desire to rob anybody. The recla-
nation department is accountable to
congress. The sole object OF the afiida-
Wits is to construct such works as will
reflect credit upon themselves and their
department.
We will be glad to help you. brothers,
in every way we can. But we can't do
very much until you have signed up a
petition. And you ought to do this
right away, for there is danger in de-
lay.
The government is going to spend a
few million dollars in Oregon pretty
soon now, and we would be very glad tc
our neiseghbors land the persimmon.
We would like to see our electric road
extended over the Snake river valley SC
our neighbors could come over -and al
tend our county fairs and be sociable
but there will have to be little mors
land in cultivation first. 1t would not
be for the best to have loss. 1t might
give us all black eye.
How would you like to have home
on every ten acre tract of land? How
would you Ike to have city OF 1000,
population in every ten square miles
How would you like to have the pres
tige OF being the biggest and the bee
ace in the steteOf Oregon. You car
have it, ityou will just get bpsy.--Cald

President ROOseVelt's Rear
ing Horse Falls Backward
Into a Creek
President Escapes Injury.
Caught Horse and Con-
tinued His Ride

Washington, D. c., June 3.Presi-
dent Roosevelt late this afternoon
had an exceedingly narrow escape
from a serious accident while hore-
back riding in Rock Creek park. Mrs.
Roosevelt was with the president at
the time OF the accident.
The president was riding q new
horse, a young animal. The party
rode down through q cut in the
bank, forded creek and were as
cending the bank on the other side.
The presidents horse rehred, the
president leaned forward in the sad
die and threw the reins down in the
loops SO as to avoid pulling the horse
backwards. Again on reaching the
top of the bank the horse reared
for a second time and the president
leaned forward again, but the ami
NAL stood up straight on its hind
legs and then went over backwards
into the creek with the president.
Feeling that he was going back
ward, the president slipped from the
saddle and as luck would have it
fell into the creek close behind the
horse which landed on its back. The
horse fell on the down stream side
of the president, who, realizing that
he would be in danger from the ami
mails feet should the horse turn
towards him, got out of the way as
rapidly as possible. The horse. how
ever, turned over from the president
and got up. He was captured at
once, the president remounted and
rode for a nour and a half before
returning to the White House.
The fall from the horses back to
the stream bed was a distance OF
more than ten feet. The stream was
about two feet wide with an exceed
ingly rocky bed.
Neither the president nor the horse
received the slightest injury.

New York, June 3.-On being ques-
toned by bank officers today about
the apparent discrepancy in his ac-
counts, Charles T. Muir, paying teller
of the Forty-second street branch of
the Corn Exchange bank, asked to be
excused until he could obtain a depos-
it ticket to explain matters. He went
to the basement, and after writing a
brief confession that his accounts
were short, shot himself in the head.
He died within an hour at a hospi-
tall. The vice president Of the Corn
Exchange bank said tonight that Mr..
Mui.'s shortage was $9,60s. Muir was
one Of the banks most trustworthy
employees, anG it was while he was re
ceiving teller that he conducted the
stealing. In his confession he said
that the embezzlement aad been go

ceeded in covering his shortages by
substituting new deposits for old ones.
He was made paying teller of the
bank, and an examination of his ac
counts being made, suspicion was
aroused that all was not right. al
Muir, in his new position, could no
4 get at the accounts to cover his short
ages longer.
