In his annual message TO congress
to congress at the opening of the pres

there be no congressional investigation
of the 100000 sugar trust under
weight frauds. as it might interfere
with the prosecution OF the men high

rassed and the government has taken
no step toward prosecuting the men

FARMS CALL FOR HARvEsTERs
Kansas Gets %, 900 Men and Needs
as Many More.

Topeka, Kan.-The big rush of the
wheat harvest is now on in so counties
of Kansas. A call for 10000 men to
help in the fields has been responded
to by probably $4,000 and as many
more could be used in the grain and
alfalfa cutting with profit. The Kan
sas eight-hour law does not apply to
the wheat fields, and days labor of
16 hours more properly fills the bill in
the harvest fields.
Kansans respect Sunday as day of
rest and for religious worship, but
they consider it duty to go into their
fields and work on that day to save
their crops if that is deemed necessary.
In years past wheat farmers have
worked in their fields on many Sun
days, and they are doing SO this season
with will. Local employment agen-
cies have been deluged with calls for
hundreds of men from all sections of
Southern and Central Kansas. and Okla
homa. In Oklahoma word comes that
many fields of wheat are so ripe that
the grain is falling on the ground.
There has not been sufficient labor to
take care of it.

LOST RIVER WORK is NEXT.
Engineers Plan to Defect Waters
From Tule Lake.


Klamath Falls - Project Engineer
Patch has announced that work is ex-
pected to begin soon on the channel
which is to defect Lost River from its
present course into Tule lake, and run
its water across the valley into Kla-
math river.
Plans and specifications have been
prepared and are now in the hands of
the secretary of the interior. Mr..
Patch said that within ten days bids
would be asked for doing the work on
this canal, but whether it will be let
by contract or done by "force account"
is not known. The government re-
quires that before more work can be
done on the Klamath project it must
first be bid upon, and then if the bids
are considered higher than the estimate
of the government officials, the force
account plan can be tried.
The DETECTION of Lost river from its
old course is to take water from Tule
lake so that much of the bed of this
lake may be reclaimed by evaporation
and drainage through crevices opened
in the rocks in the lava bed country by
the government. The river is to be
turned from it's course at what is
known as Lost river gap. Here dam
is to be erected to raise the water sew
eral feet, and then by wooden fumes
and canals it will be carried across the
valley about six miles to the klamath
river

THE sTAR-sPANGLED FIFTH.

oh, say, can you see by the dawn's early
light,
Or have you no chance to behold it
glad cleaning?
Is your face bandaged and your nose hid
den from sight,
Are you pleased with yourself or In
agony screaming?
Did the rockets red glare get mixed ur
with your hair,
And your teeth and your fingers, are all
of them there?
Oh. say, do you still feel undaunted and
brave
Or do you, all bandaged, in agony rave7
Are your legs still undamaged and have
you two feet2
Are your ears where they were when
the hurrah was started7
Do you still think of freedom as splendid
and sweet,
Or'has your glad ardor forever depart
ed?
Are your eyes both in place, have you all
Of your face,
Has the doctor reported concerning your
case?
Are you up and around with the free and
the brave,
Or is one of your arms in its poor little
grave?
Oh. are you still sound, do you think life
is grand,
Or Is the world nothing but dark desc
lation?
Are you still patriotic and able to stand
Or has your hope gone on an endless
vacation?
Did the toy cannon bust and thus rob you
of trust
As it scattered your digits around in the
dust?
Oh, did you pull through, does your ban
ner still wave,
Or are you one of those who in agony
rave?

EXPECT CROP SHORTAGE.
Northwest Railroad Experts Say Crop
Will Fall Below Average.

Chicago-Alarmed over unfavorable
crop reports, railroads extending into
the Northwest have decided to inaug-
urate one of the most rigid retrench-
ment policies of recent years. All
Western railroads, including those run
ming from Chicago into the Northwest
and into Canada, have had experts out
on their lines for the past ten days
gathering data regarding crop condi-
tions. These men have made reports
to various railroad managements,
which have caused general alarm as to
the tonnage of the future.
Several of the Northwestern rail
roads have already called conferences
between operating officers with view
of giving them information regarding
conditions and discussing retrench-
ment.
Railroad crop reports for the North
west indicated that along the lines OF
the st. Paul, Burlington, Northwest
ern, Minneapolis & Omaha and other
roads the wheat crop, in several states,
will not be greater than so per cent.
The experts declare that in Minnesota
and in North and South Dakota, for
example, a large proportion of the
wheat acreage is being plowed up and
sown to flax.
An early drouth in this section, fol-
lowed by days of continuous hot winds,
which took the moisture out of the
ground and started the wheat to head
ing out, have been the causes of the
threatened crop shortage. On all of
the Northwestern roads all new con-
struction has been ordered stopped.
One road which has several hundred
miles of new road graded and ready
for rails has ceased work on this i'm
provement.
Track forces have either been cut to
a minimum or ordered reduced in the
immediate future.

Private Project for ats Acres.

Prineville-J. H. Gray is construct
ing a reservoir and irrigation system
that will reclaim ATS acres of land,
which will be planted to alfalfa. The
reservoir is being built on Horse Hea-
ven creek and will be one of the largest
private conservation systems in Central
Oregon.
A contract has been let for the con-
struction of canal for the irrigation
of the land on the north side of Crook
ed river. This canal will be four feet
wide and its length will approximate
three and half miles. The compile
tion of this system will place an area
of about 700 acres in the alfalfa land
class on Bonnyview farm and will make
it one of the largest, if not the largest,
farm of its kind in Central Oregon.
