BAKER FARMERS TO
TAKE UP IRRIGATION
BURNT RIVER RANCHERS
BACK OF BIG PROJHCT
WM Cooperate in Building Immense
Reservoir on South Fork Of Burnt
Rver-Shormess Of Water Arouses
Them to Action.

One Of the biggest irrigation ven-
lures in the state Of Oregon is being
undertaken by the farmers of upper
Burnt river valley, says the Baker
City Herald. Warned by the unpre-
cedented shertness of water during
the irrigation season just closed and
awakened to the fact that increased
cultivation means a constantly de-
creasing supply of water, the land
owners of the country have banded
themselves together to create an ir-
rigstion district and to work out their
own salvation in the problem Of ir-i-
eating.
The scheme of the farmers is to
utilize an immense natural reservoir
site above the upper end Of the valley
which is formed on the Jake Hard
man ranch for the storage of flood
waters Of the south fork Of Burnt :iv-
er. In addition to this the plan con-
templates the banding together Of all
the established bitches of that end
Of the country to the end that more
general and economical distribution
of the normal flow Of the upper Burnt
river and tributaries may be secured.
Meetings have been held for the
past several weeks ana sentiment is
generally favorable TO the idea. En-
gineers have been engaged by the
farmers and are now at work going
over the reservoir site preparing a re-
port as to the capacity Of the same.
Another meeting OF the farmers has
been called for an early date to con-
slider more fully the question of cre-
ating an irrigation district and bond
ing the improved farms or the valley
to raise funds with which to build
the reservoir.
A potent factor in awakening the
Burnt river people to this movement
is the prospect that Aenceforth they
may not expect as mucn water as
formerly, since the Willow River rr-
rigation company has bought the old
halheur ditch and is preparing to
take through II large quantity Of the
waters Of Burnt river for the purpose
OF irrigating the large holding OF this
company in Malheur county.
The reservoir idea now being work.
ed out is not a new one. About q
scdr d6Ot SdlO SOiiiiSf dl tiidl liuic Va
6umpter, announced that he had Sc
cured an option On the Hardman
ranch and that ne had interested
capitalists to take hold Of the site.
This deal, however. fell through and
the farmers have concluded their
only salvation lies in mutual cooper
alton in working out the question OF
water supply.

Paris.-Crime and the police are
attracting much attention here. A
chloroform robbery had the center Of
the criminal stage recently. A busi-
ness man from Lille came to pay a
bill of $4,000. Going to well-known
cafe he asked two bashful young wo-
men sitting next to him to dine with
him. He exhibited a roll Of bank
notes. They took him to flat and
tea was made. The man no sooner
slipped his cup when he fell asleep. He
awoke next day, still dazed by the
narcotic poured into his tea, and
found himself alone, minus his pock-
etbook, in a furnished room for the
rent Of which bill was presented to
him. He told the police that one OF
the women wore a bangle with gold

RENO FIGHT FILMS ARE
STOLEN FROM THEATER
Tex Rickard Offers Reward and
No Questions Asked for
Their Return

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 12.-Tex
Rickard has lost six sets of moving
picture films of the Jeffries-J Johnson
fight, apparently by robbery. The
rolls were removed yesterday from the
Valencia theater, where the pictures
were being shown undr a temporary
protecting order of the court. Rickard
estimates his loss at $4,000.
The films were safe when the watch
man left the theater at midnight Sat
urday, and their disappearance was
not discovered until shortly before
the show opened yesterday afternoon.
Rickard was forced to put another
picture on the screen. He offered a
reward for the return of the pictures,
promising to ask no questions.
AS an aftermath of the reported
theft of the Jeffries-J ohnson fight
films, Judge Sturtevant of tho supe-
rior court denied today, that the pic
lures were being exhibited under a re-
straining order of his court. He de-
clared that he had only issued an or
der for the police to show cause next
Wednesday why the pictures should
not be exhibited. In the mean time.
there was no court order restraining
the police from enforcing the order
against allowing the exhibition.

TWIN UMP SYSTEM
IS COMING SOON
Frisco Fans Join the Chorus, and
Graham Waivers from
His Old Stand

That the double umpire system will
be adopted by the Pacific Coast league
before the season is much older is the
opinion of the fans Of every one of
the cities interested. The Angeleno
agitators of the twin-indicator idea
have blown off enough steam to gen.
crate a little heat along the coast line
and the present paterfamilias, Judge
Graham, has at last begun to take the
hint.
Not only Los Angeles is shouting
herself hoarse over the muchly mooted
problem, but the Frisco bleachers have
found it abundant food for thought
and have given tongue to the call,
"Give us the double umpire system in
the Pacific Coast league"
Judge Graham has become so ner-
vous over the matter that he denies
himself the pleasure of watching his
children go through their stunts and
it was with difficulty that his excel
lency was persuaded to be on hand
when the Beavers pelted the Oaks lest
week. While riding through the
streets in the Admission day parade
the Coast league scepter-wielder was
assailed on. every hand with the cries
of the double umpire fans, starving
for something which is practically in
his power to grant, and his honor is
showing unmistakable signs of weak
ening after the everybody wants two
jumps strain Of the past few weeks.
Judge Graham will not state defin-
itely his stand in regard to the mat
ter, but will undoubtedly reveal his
i iost soul when the grand march
is sounded for the gathering of the
clans in the directors meeting in San
Francisco Thursday. The enlargement
of the league will be another matter
for discussion, although it is doubt
full if any ction be taken in the mat
ter until a more thorough sounding is
made and the board becomes more ac-
quainted with the possibilities of the
cities proposed for admission.

Business was slack then until the
third frame, when the Seals came in
for their second run. Miller was re-
tired on a pop to Wheeler, and Mad
den slammed Castleton's bender to the
center field fence for a clean two
sacker. He kept on to third, however,
but would have been nailed had How
ards relay of Daley's throw not gone
by Hallinan. AS it was the ball trav-
eled to the bleachers fence and Mad
den romped in to register.
Things looked bad for the Angels
again, in the fifth, but they managed
to pull through without allowing a
run. With Berry down Melchoir sin
gled to left. Miller placed an easy one
in front of the plate, but Castleton
made q bad toss to Wheeler and the
runner was safe, Melchoir travelling to
the corner cushion before affairs were
normal again. Orendorff took good
care of Madden's foul. and Castleton
bent three good ones over to Mohler
to retire the side.
The Seals were not to be denied, and
came through in the eighth round with
the third and last tally of the fest
Howard made a grand stop of Mad
denis drive and threw him out at first.
Mohler repeated his effort of earlier in
the game with a ripping double along
the left foul line. Shaw laced one TO
Wheeler, and George tossed to nrst,
expecting Castleton to be on the spot
when the ball arrived there. The sig
mails were crossed, however, and Moh-
Ter scored while Shaw was going to
second. Bodie reached first by get
ting in front of a bender, but Muir
phys swell catch of Tenants foul
and Wits out, Howard to Wheeler,
prevented further damage
The Angels came close to registering
in the sixth inning, when Daley man
aged to get as far as third. Pete got
his start in life when Madden dropped
his long fly to the center pasture, and
might have arrived at third had he not
dogged it at the start Failure to run
