ERAL ACTS FOR GOVERNMENT

Chicago, March 3.-Indictments
charging the National Packing COM
pany and its subsidiary companies
with operating a combination in re-
straint of trade were returned here
today by the federal grand jury.
simultaneously the government
prosecutors filed bill in chancery
in the United States circuit court,
asking for a dissolution of the Ma
tional Packing company.
The grand jury did not return in
dictments against any of the per-
sons connected with the packing COM
panies.
The investigation was ordered from
Washington by Attorney General
Wickersham several weeks ago.
Shortly after it was begun Judge K.
M. Lands created sensation by in
timating that the officials of the de-
partment of justice had anticipated
mis- own demand for an investigation

Washing Gold.

J. r. Lamb will endeavor to re-
establish an old industry in this part
of the Columbia valley, that of placer
mining On the sand bars of the river
He has installed a plant on the bar
near George Taggart's place, at the
mouth of the Antoine and will oper-
ate it until high water drives him
out. The outfit includes a rocker
washer of pattern which has been
found most suited to this class of
work, pump and a gasoline engine
to drive both the rocker and the
pump.
Mr.. Lamb has prospected the river
sands extensively since he took up a
homestead on the river three years
ago and is satisfied that they contain
gold in sufficient quantity to make
placer mining paying industry.
While he he does not expect to Sc
cure a big cleanup, he is sure that
he will at least be able to make good
wages.
In the early days of this valley the
bars along the river were extensively
worked by Cinnamon, who evidently
secured very satisfactory results from
their work. But they were eventual
ly crowded out OF the country by the
| white settlers, and since then the gold
washing industry has been a dead
ono, white miners regarding the re-
turns too small. Mr. Lambs expert
ment will be watched with consider
able interest for it will prove whe-
Their with better equipment than the
earlier timers used and with power
the river sands can be profitably
washed.-Chelan Leader.

WASHINGTON, OREGON AND IDA
HO RECEIVE ATTENTION AT
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL -
MANY IRRIGATION ACTS.

Washington, March 23.-The house
irrigation committee today favorably
reported two bills recently passed by
the senate, one permitting settlers on
government irrigation projects to
make assignments, the other grant
ing leave of absence to settlers on
government projects when water is
not available for irrigation, such
leave to continue until water is turn
ed into the main canal Of project.
Will Rent Water Rights.
Secretary of the Interior Ballinger
has authorized the reclamation serv-
ice the right to rent water for the
coming season under the Sunnyside
irrigation project, for use on lands
outside the unit to be opened to irri-
cation in 1910. 1t is estimated that
there will be sufficient surplus water,
after complying with the contract re-
Quirements, for the irrigation Of
1000 acres. Many applications have
been received from persons who made
Improvements on the assumption that
they would be able to obtain water.
A charge of $3.50 per acre per an
mum will be made for water supplied
on the rental basis.
Continuous Residence Change.
The house public lands committee
today ordered favorable report on
the senate bill extending the provi-
sions of the 320-acre dry farm home
stead law to Idaho, after striking out
the nonresident clause. This provi-
sion would have permitted entrymen
on not exceeding 100000 acres to
acquire title after cultivation and
would have waived the residence re-
quirement on lands not containing
sufficient potable water for domestic
use. Nonresident entries are now
permitted only in Utah.
Cultivation a Patent Requisite.
The senate today passed the bill
amending the enlarged homestead
act so that lands in Oregon not in ex-
cess of 100000 acres that do not
have upon them such sufficient wa
ter supply for domestic purposes as
would make continuous residence up
on them possible, may be subject to
entry and patent without necessity of
residence and that cultivation of
these lands instead of residence shall
be requisite for patent.

Interest in Dry Farming Congress.

Spokane, March 23.-Federal and
state officials, heads of agricultural
colleges and experiment stations.
commercial organizations and repre-
sentative growers from all parts of
the United States and Canada. the
southern republics, Europe. South
Africa, Australia and the orient are

'SURFAc WATERS
Of NORTHWEST
u. s. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GIVES
MUCH INFORMATION ON IRRI-
CATION PROJECTS-MEASURED
S3 STREAMS.

Washington, March ga report
on the flow of rivers of the north
west that empty into the Pacific ocean
has just been published by the United
States geological survey as Water
Supply Paper 252. These streams
are in Washington, Oregon, Idaho
and northwestern Montana.
State and Nation Cooperate.
The work in Oregon has been
done in cooperation with the state
The legislature began cooperation
in 1906 by appropriating $4,000 for
this purpose, and has appropriated
this sum from year to year ever
since. The state engineer, John H.
Lewis, has represented the state in
this work A large part Of it, es-
pecially that in the Yakima river
basin in Washington, and in the
Snake river basin in Idaho, is paid
for by the United States reclamation
service. Assistance has been rendered
by the United States weather bureau
and the United States engineer corps.
Eighty-Three Streams Measured.
The report just published gives
records of flow of 1877 gaging sta
lions on SO rivers and creeks; also
records of the stage of water on four
lakes. The streams measured differ
greatly in size, ranging from the
small creeks on the Flathead Indian
reservation in Montana to large
rivers, including the Columbia. These
streams drain areas of widely differ
ent character, as may be seen by
comparing the barren desert of CEN
trail Oregon with the heavily forested
slopes of the Cascade and Coast
ranges, where the annual rainfall in
some places exceeds 100 inches.
Water Powers.
The water power available in this
region is very great. The streams
draining into the north Pacific ocean
| will furnish at low water 100000
horsepower-one-third of the total
for the United States.
Most of the records OF stream gag
ing given in this report cover only
1907 and 1908 but records on
Clarks Fork at Newport, Wash, just
below Lake Pend Oreille, cover six
years; those on the Willamette at
The Dalles, Ore, cover 80 years.
The Columbia is the largest river
whose discharge has been computed
by the geological survey. and the rec
ord at The Dalles is the longest yet
reported.
Flood Flow of the Columbia.
The maximum food of the Column
bia occurred in June, 1894, when the
crest discharge at The Dalles was L.
800, 900 second-feet-about the max
imum discharge of the Ohio at Pa
ducha and nearly the maximum re-
corded flood flow of the Mississippi
below all it's large tributaries. The
period of low water is in December
and January. The lowest discharge
on record-4S,50 second feet-oc-

COMETS TAIL IN EASTERN
SKY PUZZLES SCIENTISTS
Three Theories Advanced to Ex-
plain Spectacle

WILLIAMS BAY. Wis, May 10
Shattering all scientific calculation and
completely puzzling astronomers, the
glowing tail of Halley's comet appeared
in the eastern sky today at time when
the worlds comet authorities had
agreed it would be in the west.
Such eminent astronomers as Prof D.
A. Mitchell of Columbia university,
New York; Prof. Edwin B. Frost. head
of the Yerkes observatory statt, ana
Prof Edw. Barnard of the University
of Chicago, all agree that the light they
saw in the east was the comets tail.
No adequate explanation, however, is
forthcoming.
Prof. Mitchell, Prof. Frost and Prof.
Barnard say that any of the following
explanations may be right:
First-The curvature of the comet $
tall first discovered and noted by Prof.
Barnard on Tuesday night, may have
developed to a wholly unexpected de-
gree while the head of the comet has
passed the earth on schedule.
Second-Like Borellfs comet of 1908
Halley's comet may have ceased its
tail-making activity, cutting off the
glowing fan that is now puzzling the
scientists.
Third-It is possible that all calcula-
tions are wrong and that the comet mas
not vet passed the earth.

PHILANTHROPY BECOMING
UNIFORM, SAYS JANE ADDAMS
Noted Worker Believes Life Value
Is Being Raised

ST. LOUIS, May 19.-Jane Addams,
head of the Hull House Settlement at
Chicago, and president of the confer
ence, in her address today expressed
the opinion that philanthropists are
approaching greater uniformity in
their aims, their studies and their
methods of dispensing charity.
Dividing the great body of philan-
thropists into two groups, the charit-
able, actuated by pity for the poor, -
and the radicals, fired by "hatred of
injustice" Miss Adams declared that
both are coming to realize that the
world needs a certain power of COM
passion in our social atmosphere.
"Sheer experience in the compleXity
of life has at last united both groups
in sentiment as we'll as in conviction" "
said Miss Addams. THE negative
policy of relieving desttution or even
the more generous one of preventing
it, is giving way to the positive idea
of raising life to its highest value"

BUSINESS MEN DECLARE
FOR WORLDWIDE PEACE
Adopt Resolution Favoring an In
ternationaI Union and
Is ArbitraI Court

LAKE MOHONK, N. Y, May 10
The Business Mems association of the
Lake Mohonk conference of inter-
national arbitration, representing be-
tween fifty and sixty chambers OF
commerce in the United states ana
Canada, today adopted a resolution to
be presented to the conference, as fol-
lows:
"The business interests of the world
are keenly alive to conditions that
from time to time destroy confidence
of the people and destroy workings of
their interdependence. The greatest
and most distinctive of these are those
of the apprehension of the positive
realization of war.
I'VE hold that justice and righteous
ness are prerequisite conditions to true
business prosperity and while we
recognize that arbitration of disputes
between individuals and nations is the
best means yet available for settling
them, we regard arbitration as but an
intermediate station on the way to
final consummation to be found in an
international union, whose arbitral
court of justice will be the final court
of the world, from whose decision
there can be no appeal"
DIR. Charles w. Eliot, president
emeritus of Harvard, and Rear Ad-
miral j. B. Murdoch. U. S. N, ad-
dressed the conference tonight, DR..
Eliot said in part:
ION the whole, the only way in
which promoters of peace can at this
moment make headway against the
apprehension of invasion is to urge the
making OF arbitration treaties which
contain no exceptions, and the estab-
lishment or permanent court of arbi-
trail justice. The reduction of arma-
ments on land must await the estab-
lishment of such a supreme court un-
less, indeed, neighboring nations by
twos or threes can make local agree
ments for reduction"
