the development of mineral claims on
Indian reservations, announces q
Washington, ID. c., report.
The secretary urges that congress
pass some law which will make II
possible for responsible white men to
develop the mineral lands on the re-
naming unallotted Indian reserva-
tions, whether the deposits be Of gold
or silver, coal or any other mineral
entering into every day commerce.
Moreover. experience has shown
that Indian allotments which con-
tain mineral deposits can be leased
for mining purposes and yield good
revenues, provided the leases are
made for a sufficiently long period
to justify the necessary outlay for
development. II was not the intention
of the government to give the In
dians mineral lands. but 1t has fire.
quently happened that this has been
done unknowingly. The leasing sys-
TEN should continue under such con-
ditions.
The secretary advocates the enact
ment of a law authorizing such leases
OF allotted lands and also providing
that any mineral lands In any Indian
reservation shall be subject to lease
by the secretary Of the interior on
such terms as he may prescribe.

BUILDING SOUTH
GREAT SOUTHERN RAIL-
ROAD TO BE EXTENDED
Feeder Of the o. II. & N. TO Tap Rich
Central Oregon District-Line TO
BE Built from Dufur 10 Tygh VAL
Iey-Irrigated Section OF Central
Oregon to be Opened to Traffic.

The Great Southern railroad
known as the Dufur road, is to b,
extended to Tygh from It's presen
terminus at Dufur, and actual con
struction will begin as soon as th'
contracts can be let, says the Madral
Pioneer.
Incorporation papers have been Ill
ed and It seems assured that the orig
inal plan OF the company which wal
to build from The Dalles to Tygh
will be carried out at once.
There has been much talk OF the
extension OF the Dufur oregon road
to this pace, to tap the central Ore
gon country, but no mention OF such
a purpose is made in the outline OF
the company's present plans. although
It is known that w. F. Nelson, one OF
the promoters of the oregon Trunk
line up the Deschutes, is also one OF
the heavy promoters of the Dufur
road. and from Tygh on down White
river to the Deschutes. where the Ore
gon Trunk line survey is completed,
is only a few miles.
From this fact the proposed extern
sion of the Great Southern to Tygh
gains significance. julius L. Meier,
secretary of the Dufur road, says in
an interview published in a Portland
paper:
Eve expect TO start on the work OF
grading and laying track as soon as
we can let the contract. The surveys
are all completed and we believe that
this is the best time for us to do the
work. The financial troubles of the
west are over with and the Great
Southern will tap a country that Is
so rich that II can afford to laugh at
financial troubles.
at present our road is completed
to Dufur, a distance OF about 40
miles. Regular freight and passen-
ger trains are In operation over that
much OF the road. We want to hur-
ry so that we can get into Tygh by
next fall The Tygh valley is one OF
the richest In the state and Is a coun-
try untouched by any other railroad.
with this vast country, enormous
ly rich in grains, wheat and timber,
awaiting us we feel justified in ex-
tending the road at once"
Mr.. Meier said that the company
had not been able to estimate the cost
OF the extension, but 1t would prob
ably represent between 100000 and
100000.
At present the road enjoys excel
lent traffic arrangements with the
o. r, & N. at The Dalles and these
will be continued.
Mr.. Meier said that although the
articles OF incorporation declare the
purpose OF the road TO build from
The Dalles to San Francisco and
northward to such point in the state
of Washington as may be selected, no
great extension of the line is contem.
plated this year farther than that to
Tygh. The road has been surveyed
through oregon to the southern boun-
dary line of the state, and as the coun-
try develops the road will be extend
ed.

A careful search failed to bring
her to light, and until the morning
Of the 18th nothing was seen of her.
on the morning of the 18th, while
Mrs kennedy was feeding the chick
ems as usual, she heard a noise as of
a chicken pecking against some hard
substance. She finally located the
noise In a discarded kettle lying in
the yard bottom side up. When the
kettle was lifted, the hen was found
sitting underneath II, where she had
been during the entire 13 days.
The her was somewhat emaciated,
but after a couple Of days has re-
covered her usual appearance. II is
supposed the hen had been eating out
OF the kettle and had turned 1t over
on herself. The SHOWS OF the past
two weeks had banked up about 1t,
and the only air filtered through
some little holes in the bottom of the
upturned vessel.

$500 REWARD
 FOR DYNAMITERS
(itizenS of Camden Raise That Amount and Will Ask the Governor to h. crease It-N0 Clue to the Guilty Parties-New Theory Advanced.

k Camden, Aug. S.-Citizens of Cam den yesterday raised $500 within a very short time, which will be offered as la reward for the apprehension and arrest of the parties who dynamited the home of Mrs. Charles Burlington early yesterday morning.
 This amount will be forwarded to the governor and he will be asked to add to. it whatever amount the State will offer
 :. There is much excitement here over the dynamitfng, but some new and in- Itersting theories are being advanced with reference to the true cause of the affair.
 The latest theory is that the ne- groes in the house were preparing to go fishing and had a quantity of dy- namite stored in the house that was to be used to kill fish. The report says that in the excitement of getting ready for the trip the dynamite was exploded in some manner and the house was blown up.
 The dead, as result of the explo- sion, are:
 Kelley Bercey.
 Niece Arnold.
 The seriously injured are:
 Callie Arnold Annie Arnold and Leonard Bercey.
 No Arrests Made.
 While suspicion points strongly to negro who had been staying at the house for some time. no arrests have been made up to this time. It is al legged that the negress had had some trouble with the former boarder and that bad blood existed between them.
 The Burlington woman the owner of the house, had recently moved to Cam den from McNeil, and So far as known she was a negress of good reputation.
 The coroner's jury failed to find any clue as to the cause of the explosion and public opinion is divided as to
