VISITS CHEMAwA AT NIGHT AND
CAUSES A SCATTERING OF THE
SMALL BOYS, WHO SEEK THEIR
BEDS FOR SAFETY.

Tuesday night the little Indian pa
tients in the open-air sanatorium at
Chemawa had a touch of back to
the Wild" 1t was caused by a visit
of a mountain lion, which one of the
little fellows saw lurking near the
tent. He screeched like the hero
inc in dime novel is supposed to
do in like circumstances, or as a
pretty coed with clock-work stock
ings would screech at the sight of a
mousd-that is If there was any bold,
bad boys around to see the display
of fright and stockings. Night watch
man John Liphart rushed to the boys
aid. and ran across the animal, which,
he says, was six feet long, and had
a tail four feet long, which it lashed
to the mast, or something, and re-
fused to slxiddoo. Liphart fred two
shots at It from his revolver, which
frightened the beast so that it un-
lashed its tail and fed. No damage
was done, other than 1t scared sever
al shades of color off some of the
kids. This is the second time the ami
NAL has been seen, the first time
frightening a tramp until his face
looked clean.

ENGINEER
MAKES fine
SHOWING
ONE HUNDRED AND TEN THOU.
SAND ACRES OF IRREiABLE
LAND LOG FD DURING TIE
YEAR AND MUCH SURVEYING
DONE.

The Board of Control yesterday
paid over to the state treasurer the
sum of 10,224.6S. The sum repre-
sents fees taken IN by F M. Saxton,
as superintendent of water division
No. 2, and is just 1924 in excess of
the appropriation made for the year
for the expense of the Board of Con-
troll. The fees from water division
No. 1 have not yet been paid, but will
be soon, and when they are II will
mean another neat lump of money
for the state treasurer.
During the first three-quarters of
this year the state engineer paid in
to the state treasury department the
sum of $11,217. which had been
taken in through fees in granting
water rights under the new code.
This sum was $1217 in excess Of the
appropriation for his office during
the year.
Much Irrigable Land Located.
The appropriation for the year for
the engineers Office is $4,000, and
out OF it during the past two seasons
surveys were made as basis for the
adjudication of water rights by the
Board of Control, and 2445 miles OF
main canals were actually located
These serve to irrigate 110,S96 acres
of land, which is scattered over 214
townships. The cost of the work In
surveying and locating them was
7-10 cents per acre.
Twenty different streams were in
volved. On the Umatilla only 10,
921 acres Of irrigable land was fount
as against 1854 acres on Crooked
river, in Central Oregon. This wa
considerable OF a surprise, as 1t wa
generally expected that the showing
would be to the contrary. Anothe
surprise was the location of 1912
acres Of irrigible land along tn
North Powder river in Baker county
This is the first accurate informf
ton pertaining to the use OF waite
in irrigation ever collected in tn
state, and 1t has all been collecte
without the cost of a single dollar t
the taxpayers.

'"Forty winks beats breakfast in this

The score or more newspaper men travel
ing with Colonel Roosevelt have now gotten
to that point where they are as independent
as an ancient hog that defied the ice TO
move him without breaking. They were
all asleep, except one or two hot-nosed
scouts, when the special cars came in this
morning, They have a car all to them
selves; that is, all except the two-thirds OF
the seats and aisles taken up by their
typewriters and band baggage. Some OF
them sleep in the dir, apparently, or change
places in shifts, Upper berths are not un-
popular in that car and for men accus-
toned to all the luxuries OF life, as prize
newspaper men are, the troubles of travel
ing with a bubbhng, busy character such
as occupies the car behind, are OF no small
moment.

comfort" said one sarcastic writer. but
