HARNESS A LAKE.
Flies Application to Develop Water
Power In the Cascades.

CHEHALIS, May 15.-The North
Coast Railroad company this week
filed in the office of the Lewis county
auditor at Chehalis two water rights
for the appropriation of water from
the headwaters of the Cowlitz river.
One of these calls for 500 cubic feet of
water per second from Ohanapecosb
or the main fork of the Cowlitz. The
water is to be carried distance of six
and a quarter miles to Lake Freder-
lex in section 80, township IA north,
range 10 east, to the site of a power
station to be built by the North Coast
Railroad company
The second water appropriation is
from the Muddy fork of the Cowlitz.
The water will also be carried a dis
lance of four and one-tenth miles to
Lake Frederick. This also calls for
500 cubic feet of water per second
The application states that the COM
pany proposes to use the power in
Lewis. Pierce, Kittitas, Yakima and
King counties.
Lake Frederick is a mountain lake
in the extreme eastern part of Lewis
county. in the Cascades The Cowlitz
heads a few miles beyond in the gla-
ciers of Mount Rainier, and there is
said to be an unlimited flow that will
feed the storage reservoir. so that pow
er will be available at all seasons.
Three different parties of railroad
surveyors are at work in that section,
who claim they represent the North
Coast road.

The body was viewed by many Wo-
men, but none of them could throw
any light on it's identity. An examina-
ton of the stomach by DR.. Walker

acid, but in order to set all doubts at
rest, the contents of the stomhch will
be sent to the provincial analyst, DR.
Pagan, of Victoria, for exhaustive ex-
animation.

DANIEL MANN SENDS MONEY OR
DER FOR $1,000 TO OBTAIN
HIS BOYS.
Lured to South America, Then Taken
to Genoa, He Left His Lads as
Surety for His Payments.

SPOKANE, May 15.-When Daniel
Mann, farm laborer, employed by
John Kranish on his Moran Prairie
ranch, five miles from Spokane, cabled
a money order for $1,000 to Genoa.
Italy, today he released his four sons,
ranging from 90 to nine years of age,

roWed several months ago to bring his
wife and four daughters to Spokane.
Prominent residents of Spokane county
have interested themselves in the case
and they say if q settlement is no4
made by a steamship agency al Bremen
that suit will be instituted to recover
damages.
Briefly told, Mann's story is that he
and his family of 10 left the village of
Kuraka, Russia. on October 8, 1908
for Germany, intending to sail from
Bremen to New York and travel thence
by rail to eastern Washington, and
that when they reached the sailing
point the steamship agent induced
them through Misrepresentation to go
to Brazil: that they were forcibly de-
tanned in an immigrant house in the
forest near Prosttenort, where one OF
the children died, and finally he was
swindled out of $1,000, the savings of a
life time of toll in the cars land. They
managed to reach Genoa, where he was
forced to leave four sons as a gUaran-
tee to repay money advanced by Mich
ael Loufti, who took pity on the fam
ily's plight.

FIRST SPRING CONVENTION END
ED SESSIONS IN WALLA WALLA
YESTERDAY.
J. N. Teal of Portland, Principal Speak
err at Afternoon Meeting Yester-
day-Quotes the President.

The first spring meeting of the Wash
ington Conservation congress was
brought to a close yesterday afternoon
by the passage of number of resolu-
lions introduced by the committee APP
pointed for that purpose. While the
attendance during the two days was
not as large as had been hoped for,
those who were present feel that the
gathering indicates the growth of the
movement and a widespread interest
in the campaign now fairly launched to
conserve the resources, not only of the
northwest, but of the entire country.
J. n. Teal, of Portland, a member of
the joint committee on conservation
between states and nations, delivered
the principal address of the afternoon
session. Mr.. Teal had just returned
from Washington, d. c., where he had
consulted with President Taft relative
to his attitude upon the conservation
movement, and he quoted the nation
executive in his address. Said Mr..
Teal:
Senator Chamberlain and myself
called on President Taft and during
our visit with him 1 put the question
direct: Are you, Mr. President, in
favor of the conservation movement,
and will you and your administration
support it,?
'1n reply Mr.. Taft said:
"I am in favor of this movement,
and l intend to do everything in my
power to forward it as president of the
United States"
Legislative Bodies Arraigned.
Mr. Teal strongly arraigned the leg
islative bodies at Washington, D. c.,
for their too apparent disposition 10
throttle all legislation which would in
any way aid in the conservation move
ment and might be inimical to the
so-called vested interests, which he as
serted were naturally opposed to any
thing in the way of laws that might
restrict their operations and give the
people some of the rights which they
should possess.
"The committee on conservation ap-
pointed in the senate is simply a grim.
sarcastic joke. It's members are not
in sympathy with the conservation
movement. All legislation which had to
do with the conservation movement
was blocked and eliminated from the
sundry civil appropriations bill when
it came up before the senate of the
United States. / ask and leave you
to answer; what sort of influences are
at work to prevent the progress of the
conservation movement? If We are in
earnest in all this, why I assert we
should not stand idly by and see our
