OKAAOGAN LAND
owners
ADOPT RESOLUTIONS REGARD.
ING A RESIDENCE CLAUSE
PETITION THE SECRETARY OF
THE INTERIOR.

At a meeting held last Saturday
of the owners of land under what is
known as the Okanogan project the
following resolutions we're adopted:
Wenatchee, July 3, 1909.
To the Water Users Association of
Okanogan:
At meeting of the stockholders Of
the Water Users association resident
in Wenatchee valley. held July 3,
1909, herewith submitted for your
consideration at the called massmeet-
ing for July Is, at Omak, Wash.
Whereas, the residence clause of
the reclamation service requiring
land owners to live within fifty miles
of land watered by any government
project, retards the growth and de-
velopment of lands under what is
known as the Okanogan project; and
Whereas. policy permitting any
resident of the state of Washington
to own land under said project would
tend to a more rapid improvement of
that community in the building Of
homes On five and ten acre tracts and
planting orchards thereon, the very
object which the government seeks to
attain, and
Whereas. the distance from market
and cost of transportation is so great
that only a limited number of land
owners could make a living under the
project, to say nothing of making an
nual water payments; and,
Whereas, it is believed that pro-
vision inserted by the government in
lieu of the residence clause requiring
an increased amount of land to be
cultivated from year to year would
produce results more satisfactory to
the government and to all parties
concerned:
Therefore. be it resolved, by Okan-
ogan land owners resident in Wenat-
chez valley, that it is incumbent up
on all such land owners and all peo-
pie interested in the Okanogan val
ley to urge upon the honorable, the
secretary of the interior, by petition
or whatever method is deemed expe-
dent, the imperative need of extend
ing land ownership privilege to any
citizen of Washington desiring irriga-
ton service from the Water Users
Association of Okanogan regardless
of distance from the project in ques-
| ton.
Signed by the committee.

President.
w. H. DICKSON,
Secretary.

DASH OVER DAM SAVES BOY
Heroic Act of Chelan Man at Scene Oh
Accident.

Chelan, July 5.-A 12-year-old
boy from Brewster, while in row.
boat on the Chelan river, was cap
sized on the boom above the WoOdin
avenue bridge yesterday afternoon.
The swift current carried him to the
dam a few hundred feet below the
bridge, where he climbed desperately
for five minutes to some drift. Men
on shore tried to reach him by lay
ing blanks down. Asa Post started
to the boys rescue in rOwboat, but
before assistance reached him he was
carried owe rthe dam, seemingly to
certain death Post heroically shot
his boat over the dam, narrowly es-
GAPING being swamped, and reaching
the drowning boy in the edge of the
rapids. He lifted him bodily into the
boat as he was in his last struggles.
Post regained the oars just in time to
avoid being carried against large
rock in the rapids and reached shore
safely. The boy soon recovered con-
seriousness. Prominent citizens who
saw the thrilling rescue speak in
high praise of Posts heroism and say
he should be awarded a Carnegie
medal The river is high, swift and
dangerous.

NINETEEN KNOWN TO BE DEAD.

HAMBURG. Dec S.-Twcnty-seven
blazing, shrieking human skyrockets
hurtled across Hamburg's water front
Tuesday, impeIled by the explosion of
the largest gas reservoir in the world.
Their doom was heralded by crashing
roar which made the city think for Il
dazed- sickening moment that an earth
quake had happened.
And then, higher than the highest
building in Hamburg. sheet of red, and
green, and purple flame curled into the
heavens and obliterated even the aerial
trail of sparks which was all they had
left behind to remind the world that only
moment before they had been living
WOrkmen.
The gas reservoir which exploded was
not completed. and had it contained its
full capacity OF 7,UUU.UUU feet of gas.
instead of only $4,000 cubic feet. which
had been admitted for testing purposes,
its explosion might have wiped out an
entire district of the city.

1t is supposed the explosion was caused
when the jar of the pneumatic hammers
with which the workers were fastening
rivets in the outer jacket caused tis-

gas apparently rushed out and into the
retort house, where it was ignited from
the open furnaces
The crowds had been driven from the
vicinity, however, and no one was in
jured by the second explosion with the
exception of several persons far away
from the scene who were slightly burned
by bits of blazing debris, which fell all
over the city Red hot fragments of iron
and coke were thrown out over the har-
Dor and fell aboard many ships where
they were cooled with buckets of water
before any fires were started by them.
The explosion shattered houses near
the gasworks and windows dropped from
their castings and were shattered several
miles distant. Several dwellings, near
the fire were burned after they had been
shaken to the ground in ruins as if by
an earthquake.
Burned Men Seek Water Tanks.
When the flames had subsidized sufii-
GENTLY to permit the approach of the
fremen they were eXtinguiShed and then
it was found that more than forty work
men, painfully burned and in many cases
seriously injured, had managed to crawl
to safety in water tanks in the inclosure
These men were pulled from the water,
then so hot, as to cause them intense
agony, and were removed to hospitals,
where it is feared several of them will
die.
Ten of those killed in the explosion
were found by the firemen. They were
so horribly burned and torn as to be al
most beyond Identification. Nineteen
are known to be dead and fourteen are
missing

MYSTERIES PILING UP
COMPLICATIONS ARISE IN BATH.
TUB MURDER CASE.
Mrs. Martha Wardlaw, Grandm other of
Victim, Disappears from Home
in TaXicab.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Mysteries piled
up today in the bathtub murder case.
The question of whether chlOroform was
used in making away with the young
southern girl, Ocey w. M. Snead, who
was found dead in an East Orange house
more than a week ago, was brought to
the fore through a story told by 4 Har-
lem druggist.
He asserts that woman resembling
one of the relatives of Mrs. Snead
sought to buy a bottle of chloroform
from him a day or two before the body
of Mrs. Snead was found in the East
Orange house. He refused to sell the
drug without a prescription. 1t has been
the theory of Chief of Police Bell of
East Orange that Mrs. Snead was first
chloroformed and then drowned.
Another complication of the case de-
veloped with the disappearance of Mrs.
Martha Wardlaw grandmother of the
victim. At the furnished room house
where she has been stopping Mrs. Ward
law was bundled into a taXicab by two
men who drove off with her down town.
The woman who died under such
strange circumstances was buried today.
Not a friend or relative attended the
funeral. Miss Virginia Wardlaw aunt
of the victim is still locked up in the

COOKS RECORDS ARE
NOW IN COPENHAGEN
PRECAUTIONS ARE TAKEN TO
GUARD PRECIOUS BOX.
PAPERS TURNED OVER TO UNIVER-
SITY FOR INSPECTION.

COPENHAGEN, Dec. S.-The north
pole observations of DR.. Frederick A.
Cook reached here today on board the
steamship United States. Extraordinary
precautions were taken to make sure
that the long heralded data were de-
llvered safely to the university author
tiles.
AS soon as the United States was tied
up at her pier, an iron box containing
Dr. Cooks report and the diaries in
which his original entries were made,
was brought ashore. The box was close
ly watched by Walter Lonsdale, DR..
Cooks secretary, who had stood guard
over Its contents since they left the
hands OF the explorer. Upon the pier,
Lonsdale and two detectives bundled the
iron box into a motor car. and. Jump
ing IN themselves, were driven hastily to
the University of Copenhagen. Their
car was followed by a second automo-
bile.
At the university, the papers were Tor
mally turned over to the authorities
tnere, and placed In strong room,
where they will be guarded closely, uu-
til the committee appointed to examine
them Is ready 10 begin. 1t Is probable
the examination will be made at Copen-
haSen observatory. None but the duly
chosen commission representing the Uni
verslty of Copenhagen will be permitted
to be present. United States Minister
Egan was to have attended the commit
tee meetings, but will not be able to do
so because of the delay in the arrival of
the records. Mr.. Egan leaves tomorrow
for the United States
The coming IF DR.. Cooks papers is
accompanied with signs of a revival of
the Cook-Peary controversy. The Politi-
ken asserts this morning that the sup
porters of Commander Peary are trying
to enlist the services of Greenland ex-
plorers in organizing an anti-Cook press
campaign
