Seattle, Sept. ct must occur to
every fair-minded person that so
shrewd, practical and canny man
as Andrew Carnegie would hardly
appropriate $4,000 year for the
furtherance of my experiments if 1
were the charlatan which soma per-
sons evidently profess to believe I
am
This is the way in which the wiz
ard of the plant kingdom, Luther
Burbank, while at the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition replied to the
charges which have recently been
made against him by the California
fruit growers. Mr.. Burbank evil
IDENTIFY does not take the charges Sc
riously for he concluded with;
However, do not feel called up
on to defend myself at any great
length from any reflections which
may have been cast upon me. My
work speaks for itself and by what 1
have done and am doing 1 must be
judged"
In referring to his recent achieve
ments. Mr.. Burbank said thai he re-
garded the thornless cactus as one of
his greatest discoveries. By patience,
tireless selection of the species OF
cactus having the fewest thorns, he
said, he had finally evolved the aoso-
lutely thornless variety.
while it hasn't as much nutrition
as alfalfa" said Mr.. Burbank, 1T
has proved itself to be an economic
food for cattle that produces consid-
erably more milk comparatively than
alfalfa or other fodder. The thorn
less cactus Is a cattle food. The
average yield Of the cactus is 200
tons of leaves to the acre."
Plant Breeding.
"Plant breeding is in it's earlies:
infancy Its possibilities and even
its fundamental principles are under
stood by but few; in the past 1t has
been mostly dabbling with tremend-
GUS forces which have been only par
TALLY appreciated, and it has yet to
approach the precision which We ex-
pect in the line of steam and electric
ity. and, notwithstanding the occa-
sional sneers of the ignorant, these
silent forces embodied in plant life

Affidavits Are Ready.

Affidavits were read this afternoon
from r. S. Howard, general manager
Of the company, from Mr. Stanley and
from Mr.. Stearns. Howard's affidavit
purported to show that in the time
that he has had charge of the con-
struction of bitches and the sale or
the company's lands that he has paid
UP more than 100000 of the COM
panys Indebtedness and sold a large
amount of land at reasonable profit
The arguments will consume several
days, and John Hall, c. E. s. Wood
and Mr. Addison will probably all
speak on the application before it is
left to the court for decision.
Drake c. O'Riley, one of the mem
bers of the newly elected board Of d.
rectors on the Addison side will. it is
said, refuse to qualify and serve on a
| board in opposition to the Portland
men in the company. The other d.
rectors will probably all qualify.

RIVAL FACTIONS

INVOLVED IN STRIFE
Eastern Stockholders Held Rump
Meeting and Chose Officers of their
Own-Mattcr To he Fought out in
Federal Court.

Portland Ore. Sept S.-When the
rival factions in the Deschutes Irri-
cation & Power company appeared in
the federal court before Judge Bean
yesterday to argue the petition of
eastern bondholders that a receiver be
appointed to take charge of the af-
fairs of the company it developed
that the eastern members Of the COM
pany had held a rump meeting last
night and elected a board of directors
and set of officers of their own.
This now gives the Deschutes Irrl-
cation & Power company two sets Of
Officers each claiming the authority
II manage the company. The new set
of directors includes the names of d.
c. O'Reilly Harry l.. Corbett, S. r.,
5. Wood, l.. G. Addison, f. n. Sinks,
W. f. Mathews and H. d. Turney.

their alleged company c. Z. S. Wood,
president, and f. y. Sinks, secretary,
/ l. q Say Election Fraudulent.
The Portland management of the
irrigation company, represented by F.
s. Stanley, president, claim that the
alleged election at the rump meeting
OF yesterday is illegal, because there
was not a majority of stockholders
represented at the meeting The Adj
olson faction claims to have about
1900 shares of stock, mostly proxies
The total issue of stock is said to be
25,000 shares. and 1t is claimed that
it requires 1851 shares under the by
laws to make a quorum. 1t is also al
legged by Mr.. Stanley that many of
the proxies, which the bond holders
claim to hold are given by men who
do not at present own their stock
and that the bond holders are practIc-
ing fraud in attempting to use the
proxies for such stock.
The argument this morning consist.
ed of a review Of the allegations in
the petition of Mr.. Woods clients
that. a receiver be appointed to as.
sumo charge of the affairs of the com.
pany Mr.. Stearns claimed that II
the first place Mr.. Wood came before
the court in bad grace because II
numerous cases he had appeared as
