wETl5, 900 ACRES in GILLIAN
Farmers On Rock Greek Cooperate
In Storage Project.

W OtOi "6S tiOJOSts
Condon-Land owners on Rock creek
are preparing to irrigate $4,000 acres
of land by cooperative project, tax
ing water from a reservoir at Devils
Gate. AS soon as State Engineer
Lewis approves the proposed improve
ment, the interested land owners will
arrange for bonding their land that the
necessary funds may be raised.
A preliminary survey shows that the
proposed dam can be constructed in the
vicinity of DEVILS Gate, where the
precipitous walls of the canyon, ex-
tending for about two miles up stream,
will make natural reservoir. From
its Investigations, the committee has
ascertained that, allowing one foot to
the acre, sufficient water can be con-
served to irrigate $4,000 acres.
Roughly estimated, the dam will be
about 565 feet across the top and about
225 feet high at the base. 1t will be
rs feet high, measuring eight feet
wide at the top.
When the dam was first proposed,
the interested land owners expected
sufficient water could be conserved for
irrigating about 1000 acres, but more
thorough investigation discloses that
fully Is, 900 acres can be served. This
makes the project one of the most i'm
portant ever undertaken by private
capital in Eastern Oregon.

Oil Well 2.eao. Feet Deep.

Ontario Work is progressing on
the Ontario oil we'll rapidly. 1t has
now attained depth of 2, $50 feet, the
deepest oil or gas we'll in the West,
outside of the California oil fields. A
six inch casing has been put in to the
bottom. The drill is now in a, shale
Formation which grows harder with
depth. This is considered very prom
ising indication by experienced oil
men. The oil indications are growing
better with each days progress.

First Alfalfa Heavy Yield.

Hermiston-Harve of the first crop
of alfalfa is on here. All indications
point to heavy yield and as there is a
good demand for the hay, no trouble
will be had in disposing of the crop.
AS soon as this cutting is out of the
way water will be turned on and the
second growth started. If growing
weather continues as late as usual this
fall it is quite possible four crops will
be secured, which would pay big inter
est on land valued much higher.

ARMED men
PATROL THE EARL
Mine PROPERTY

In the early days of the camp
claim-jumpers were dealt harshly |
with, and as a resulte Manhattan
escaped with little litigation from |
that source. But what legal entan- |
clements the camp did experience
proved not only costly, but checked
the progress of the camp to very
marked degree. Some of the camps
troubles were caused by claim-jump-
ers. What appeared to be case
of attempted claim-jumping was
pulled off on the Earl ground on
Litigation hill. Monday, and was
brought to- a rather abrupt finish
by W. S. Johnson, president of the
Earl company.
Mr.. Johnson found man busily
engaged in sinking a hole about 10
fet from the shaft house on the
Swanson lease. Johnson ordered
the man off the ground and he
quietly gathered up his tools and
departed. Mr.. Johnson states that
an armed man has been stationed
on the ground to keep off all in
truders in the future.
In an interview with representa-
tive of the Post regarding the af-
fair, Mr.. Johnson gave out the fol-
lowing concerning 1t and part of
the Earls history:
Mr.. Johnson stated that the Earl
claim was located on July 25, 1905,
and that the ground of the Consol-
idated company was located on
August 6, 1905. On August IL or
IA, 1905. party named Bishop
made location called the Columbia,
which covered a portion of the Earl
claim. Johnson stated that he went
TO him and informed him that he
was on ground that was covered by
the Earl location. and after showing
the location monument and the
stakes to Bishop. the latter admit.
ted that he was wrong. Later IN

FEARING INTERSTATE
COMMISSION NEVADA NORTHERN
REDUCES ITS RATES


is important to know, however, that
the Giroux is at last to be given
rate, which will remove
the only obstacle in the way of its
plant construction, which will now
doubtless be undertaken during the
coming spring or summer.
When the arrangements have
been completed between the Giroux
Consolidated and the Nevada North
ern railroad, and the new rates are
made public, if food supplies are
not included. the Ely Commercial
league should take the matter up at
once with President Eccles, and if
satisfactory rates cannot be had, a
suit should be filed with the inter-
state commerce commission as soon
thereafter as possible.

Sis HOPKINS FRIDAY NIGHT.

From the moment Miss Melville en-
tiers the play clad in the old fashioned
gingham dress and wearing striped
stockings, ones sympathy goes out to
her because of the utter honesty of her
character which is so apparent. And,
later, when she has her first glimpse of
trouble and smooths the way for her
troubled heart with the philosophy
which tricl1les from her lips, one can.
not help admiring her and loving her.
The company surrounding Miss Mel
vile, on this her farewell tour. is the
best she has ever had supporting her.
and the play has been given an entire
ly new production by Mr.. Stirling IN
der whose guidance Miss Melville has
been for the past eleven years. And
one of the characters, the one which
aside from the central figure of Sis
herself, which will interest YOU the
most and give you most enjoyment is
that of Obadiah, the undertaker's as
sistant. Obadiah on the surface is LIGHT
and frothy and carries forever with
him an air of frivolity which is far
from being bis natural manner. At
heart he is as honest and as deenly
sympathetic as any of those good souls
among whom he lives. he is essential
Ily comedy part and he gives us many
laughs in the course of the play.
The engagement is for next Friday
night at the Rhode opera house. The
prices are Use and $1.oo for lower floor
seats, soc and 75c for balcony seats
and z5c in the gallery. Seats now on
sale at Beeker's News Agency. Tele-

ERR rs DISCHARGED.
Kenosha People Fail to Appear Against
Man Charged With Swlndling Them.

Henry Err, arrested in Chicago ten
days ago on charges of embezzling
trust funds in Kenosha was released by
the Chicago courts on Saturday on &C
count of the fact that the Kenosha peo-
pie who had sought the arrest of Err
last February failed to appear against
him. Err was arrested on the COM
plant Of Henry Oberst charged with
the embezzling Of funds which he had
collected for q convent in Missouri. 1t
was alleged that he secured funds to
the amount of more than $3.50 in this
city. Err was sought by the police for
months and finally picked up in Chi
cago. Chief of Police O'Hare had com
pleted arrangements for extradition
when the complaining witnesses notified
him that they would not take the trou-
BILE OF going to Chicago to appear
against the man. Under the circum-
stances, there was no course left open
but to discharge the defendant.

Henry Hartnen Awaiting
Trial for Arson Found In
sane By Judge slosson
UNDER SUSPENDED SENTENCE

Henry Hartnell, now in the county
Jail awaiting hearing on a charge of
arson in connection with the burning
Of hay stack in the town Of Salem,
was adjudicated insane in the county
court by Judge Slosson late Friday
afternoon and he will be taken to the
state hospital at Mendoza on Monday
Hartnell was convicted on charges of
arson in the circuit court many months
ago and On Friday lie was to have
been brought before Judge Belden for
sentence. At the time of the convic-
ton the court had suspended sentence
on account of the fact that Martnell
was shown to have been mentally weak
at tie time the crime of which he was
charged was committed. Friday after
noon sister of Hartnell appeared in
the county court and fled petition
for an examination into the mental
condition Of her brother and Judge Bel
den gave his consent to having the
man adjudged insane. D. G. r. Adams
and DR.. f. E. Andre examined Hart.
nell and they declared that there was
no doubt but that he was insane. Hart
nell is in no way violent and it is de-
clared that his insanity is Of the her
iditary nature. He seems to have a
mania for setting fires. He was first
arrested for setting fire to warehouse
connected with a lumber yard at Sal
EN- and he plead guilty to this charge.
Ele was released on a suspended sent
ence and after that he spent many
months in the county Jail being arrest
ed repeatedly for intoxication and as
vagrant. The Hartneh family is
well known in the town of Salem and
the members of the family have in
sisted from the first that Eartnen was
not responsible for his actions. Hart
nell seemed perfectly rational at the
Jail but after the examination the phv-
s1cians declared that there was no
doubt of his insanity. It is claimed
that home for feeble minded would
be the proper place for Hartnell, but
as the state does not maintain such
an institution for adults Judge Slos-
son committed Hartnell to the State
Hospital for the insane.
