Mayville and Fossil
citizens want Con-
don branch extended
south.

a meeting OF the clLlZens Oh
the Mayvi!le country was called
at Mayville last Saturday night
for the purpose Of discussing
ways and means of advertising
Gillian County in cooperation
with the Gillian County 0ppof-
tunity Association. About twenty
five were present and the major
ity did not seem to be favorably
inclined toward that proposition
therefore the meeting was turned
to the subject of building Of a
railroad through Mayville to
Fossil. The plans brought out
were to have the Condor branch
extended or to take the matter
up with the Northern Pacific,
and try to have them extend a
feeder through that rich section.
A committee was appointed to
meet with the Wheeler County
citizens on Wednesday and dis.
cuss the proposition. The com.
mittee appointed were as follows
E. A. Stinchfield, Geo. C. Evans,
j. w. Dyer, w. G. Keys, Geo
B. Dukek and Fred Brown.
This committee with the ex
ception of Geo. B. Dukek ant
with the addition of J. P. Rudolph
went to Fossil on Wednesday ant
met with the citizens of that cit!
and surrounding country. Jas

IRRIGATION PROJECT
Enthusiastic meeting
held Monday night.
Project favored by
all present.

in the Court House in this city
last Monday evening was attend
ed by an enthusiastic congrega-
tion composed of about forty
representative business men and
farmers from different sections
OF the county. All present
seemed to be Of the opinion that
1t was q move in the right di'
rection. II. d. Randall was ap.
pointed chairman of the meeting
and after outlining the object
called on Judge r. r. Butler to
express his views. Mr.. Butler
said that, although he was not
acquainted with movements OF
this kind, he believed it to be a
proper one and anything he
could do to help it along would
be done gladly. The chair next
called on r. A. Weinke, who Is
probably more competent to
talk on irrigation projects than
any man present, having prac-
tised law several years in a
country where big projects were
put through. He spoke to the
point saying that lee thought II
advisable to have an engineer
30 over the ground thoroughly
to prove the feasibility of the
proposition. Chas. Martin, the
promoter of the project, who has
made a careful investigation Il
such matters and this one in par
ticular, gave as his estimate that
over 1000 acres could be put un'
der water by this project. lie
explained how If this project Le
successful itswould raise the re-
sources of the county to al
enormous amount, and in Other
ways benefit the entire county,
He further explained that this
meeting was just q preliminary
one and that it took time and {
great deal of patience to bring
such a project to completion but
said that in a few years ne ex
pected it to produce one of the
best irrigated communities OIL
the coast. w. G. Flett, one O.
the pioneer residents of Rocl
Creek, said that he belived thu
proposition to be perfectly fea
sible that it would double the
land values and that he wa!
heartily in accord. w. G. Brown
who is interested in the liant
which is proposed for the dan
site, said that these intrest
would not be at all antagonist
to the movement, I. G. Mobley
another prominent Rock Cree
rancher, said that the high pric
of stock is an inducement t
raising alfalfa and to raise tn
alfalfa the irrigation is necessary
He further said that he though
the ranchers Immediately to re
ceive the benefit would be just
fed in bonding their land to rails
funds to complete this move
ment. He also thought it wis
to have a committee appointed t
take up the proposition. J. A

engineers in the state, gave HI
views in regard to the wate

of building the dam necessary

ARE PREPARING
INFORMATION
FOR LEGISLATORS
1T MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED OR
APPRECIATED, BUT 1T WILL
SURELY SUPPLY A LONG-FELT
WANT If 1T CAN SHOW THE
LEGISLATURES LIGHT"

Fifteen seniors in the depaYtment
of Economics are busy preparing
data for use by the state legislature.
Practical subjects have been as
signed and statistics are being COM
piled and charts made which may
aid the legislature at It's next ses-
sion. Professor Young, head of the
department. expects each thesis IN
be of some practical value. Statis-
tics will be gathered impartially and,
and where the subject demands,
they will cover not only the state of
Oregon, but other states and even
foreign countries. This work will
give the legislators an estimate of
the results of the working of laws
in every part of the world. To each
statistical chart the student will at
tach a. complete list of references
from which the data was collected.
Engineering students will aid those
of the department Of Economics IL.
drafting and lettering.
While many of the topics have
not been assigned yet, prominent
among those already taken W is the
problem of forest fire protection
The extensive fires throughout the
Northwest this year have made this
subject of vital importance. 1t is al
most certain that new forestry laws
will be introduced at the next legs
lative session. Another question
will be that Of the regulation OF
water power rights. Utilization Of
water power is becoming more i'm
portant each year and involves the
question OF conservation. A budget
OF the tax proportions amsAg the
states and among the nation is also
being prepared. In this connection
the relative state and national in
comes will be taken up. Building
roads Is another subject which will
be considered. Amendments. to al
low the counties TO vote road bonds
will be brought up before the legis-
lature this year and 1t Is hoped that
the work OF the students may throw
some light on this subject.

EVIDENCE
FAVORABLE
To CRIPPEN
MEDICAL TESTIMONY IS THAT
THE "SCAR" ON THE BODY
DUG UP IN CRIPPEN BASE
MENT is NOT A SCAR AT ALI
UNITED PRESS LEASED wrnn.I

London, Oct. 21.-The testimony
of DR.. Hawley II. Crippen, charged
with the murder of his wife, Belle
Elmore-Crippen, was concluded to-
day and in spite of a grilling cross
examination, the defendant, it is be-
lieved, impressed the Jury favorably
Throughout his ordeal Crippen re-
mained cool and collected, and ex-
cept for a pallor of face there was
little TO indicate the strain the
American was undergoing. He took
Prosecutor Muir's fiery cross exami-
nation almost philosophieally.
Muir's effort to force Crippen to
admit that none but himself could
have buried the human body found
in the cellar of his home was 4
complete failure. Crippen banded
words with the prosecutor with con-
sumate skill and his answers showed
careful thought.
my wife and / were often away
on the continent" said Crippen. at
would be perfectly possible for
some one to have placed the flesh
where 1t was found. | must admit
that this seems most improbable but
have no idea whatever how the
flesh came into the cellar. am at
total loss for theories. It is a
great police mystery"
The testimony OF the medical ey.
perts who followed Crippen on the
stand was a decided victory for the
defense and Crippen showed his
pleasure as each witness testified.
All the experts swore that tile
supposed scar found on the body in
Crippen's cellar, was in reality not a
scar. They declared 1t would be
physically impossible for a gland TO
form on a scar, referring to a
growth which was discovered.
After the examination of medical
experts the defense closed its case.
Barrister Tobin will sum up for
the defense and Prosecutor Muir
for the crown. Lord Chief Justice
Alverstone will deliver his charge to
the jury on Saturday.

Portland, Ore, oct. 21.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt will not be candi-
date for the presidency again, but
Taft will come up for the nomina-
tion for a second term. backed by
Roosevelt according to the theory
propounded by Jared l.. Brush, ex-
lIeutenant-governer of Colorado and
a prominent banker of his state.
Brush stopped of in Portland while
enroute TO his home at Fort Collins,
Colorado, from Los Angeles, where
he attended the bankers convention.
my opinion is that Colonel
Roosevelt will never even be can
didate for the nomination for tho
presidency but that he is planning to
bring the party together again IN
two years for the denomination OF
Taft" said Brush.
1.-The New York state platform in-
dicates that attitude as plainly MS
anything can be put into words.
Roosevelt and Taft have been to-
gether. and while the result of thei"
conferences has never been given to
the public, | feel that II is safe to
presume that they understand one
another thoroughly.
"Mr. Taft has given indications OF
recognizing the sentiment which is
running wild in the country and
which is based on the idea that the
interests have had too many legis'
lative favors. Personally, I have
never entertained such notions but
the 'stand-patters' are in the minor
ity and the leaders of the party will
have to recognize the situation. The
next national platform will adopt
many of the features of Mr.. Roose-
velt's new nationallsm."

There's an elderly lady in Penn
sylvania who for shade over
forty years had lived her days in a
big country house outside of Har-
isburg without once having done a
thing that could cause the minister
or even the ministers wife to raise
the eyebrow. Then came the tempt
alton. She went to the theatre one
night while in Harrisburg. In
justice to her it must be admitted
she went under protest. But this,
though the first indiscretion, was
not to be the last. For after that
first lapse, which was about fifteen
years ago, she contracted habit to
go twice each year. To date she
has the record of having attended a
total of thirty performances-"The
Old Homestead" twice, and Lyman
H. Howe's Liferoma twenty eight
times.
