Announcement is made by the
Western Union Telegraph Company
that it will shortly be prepared to

anything. These wires must be main

the reguler day business, and it is ap-
parently the idea Of the new inter-

the public have the benefit Of them.

LAURANT is COMING
Famous Magician viii Appear in Dali

Holders of tickets in the College ly-
ceum course are anxiously looking for
ward to the entertainment to be given
by Laurant, the Magician, in Wood
man Hall next Thursday night This
will be the last number of the course
and will doubtless prove to be the
strongest attraction of the season.
Laurant is known as the Man of
Many Mysteries and presents new and
original creations in magic and illu-
sions. He has appeared before and de-
lighted the most cultured audiences
on the best lyeeum courses in the Un-
tied States. He carries all of his own
curtains, draperies and hangings, and
the apparatus and paraphernalia used
by him is of the very best.
Remember his date in Dallas, March

Another Road to TiIIamook.

Tillamook bay is one of James j.
Hills important objective points in
western Oregon, and early resumption
of work on the projected extension of
the United Railway down Wilson river
will mark the first move in this direc-
ton. A surveying party of 80 men is
now in the field, and it is believed that
active construction will begin this
summer. Hill gained control of the
United Railway several months ago
and at that time it was supposed by
many that he had acquired it only for
the terminal facilities which it would
afford in Portland and as a means of
access to the waterfront in the west
side business district. But subsequent
developments showed that his plans
were much more far reaching.

EYES BADLY INJURED
Percy Hibbard Meets Painful Iniury
While Visiting Neighbor.

Almost crazed with pain and with
his eyes blinded from the burning eff
fects of lime-and d-sulphur spray. Per-
Bcv Hibbard was brought to the office
l6f Or. B. III. McCallon, Wednesday
morning for treatment.
The accident responsible for Mr.
Hibbard's condition occurred in the
orchard of nelghbor, where sprav-
ing of fruit trees was in progress. In
some manner the nozzle of the sprav-
or had become clogged, and the owner
of the orchard was seeking the cause
of the obstruction, when suddenly the
stream of lime and sulphur solution
hurst forth with terrific force and
struck Mr.. Hibbard squarely in the
face The burning liquid filled both his
'eyes and scorched his nose and cheeks
Mr.. Hibbard was hurriedly brought
Into town and taken to the office of
EDr McCallon, where cocaine and
|soothng lotions were applied to ease
sthe pain. The injured man was then
lnlaced in the Doctors automobile and
Ihllrrltu " EttlCIIl " DS placed under
the care of DR.. A. b. Gillis, the we'll
known eye specialist.
An examination by Dr. Gillis dis
closed the fact that the treatment ad-
ministered by DR.. McCallon had saved
Mr.. Hibbard's sight, although it will
be some time before the unfortunate
man will be able to expose his eyes to
the light. When Mr.. Hibbard arrived
In Dallas, the eyeballs were burned
white, but the removal of the parti-
cles of lime and the application of
cooling medicines did much to relieve
The pain.
Mr. Hibbard will remain in Salem
Tor several days, where he will be un-

Takes No Cognizance.

nee the government takes no cogni.
~ahce OF claims filed against the rail-
road grant lands until the main suit
mas been adjudicated. The attractive
circular does not say so, but no settle
ment can be reached for six or seven
years, because the case will be carried
10 the supreme court. Cases where sew
erai applications had been filed on the
same quarter section have already
been found. This would be clearly lille
gal.
Following are some sentences from
warning letters written inquirers by
District Attorney McCourt:
There are no railroad lands in this
state open for entry or purchase. There
are number of quasi-bunco men So
ilclting persons to make applications
TO the oregon & California Railroad
comapny for the purchase of its lands.
These solicitors represent that by
making application to the railroad
company to purchase 100 acres of land
within its grant, that a preference
right will thereby be secured to pur-
chase land worth anywhere from 500
to $75 an acre, for $3.50 per acre,
Secure No Rights.
In my opinion such applicacants
secure no rights whatever and will not
get the land applied for. The lands
within the state are only slightly de-
veloped. Abundance of good land can
be had at reasonable prices, and 1 /
think you will make no mistake by To-
catlng in Oregon. If, however, you
have formed your intention of locat-
ing here upon the expectation of Sc
curing a piece of railroad land for
of it's actual value, you
are apt to be disappointed.
This circular refers to a species of
ounco game that is being worked all
over the country. There is just enough
egal question involved to prevent pro-
'ecution of these parties for carrying
IN scheme to defraud by use of the
nails. I have written hundreds of let
ers regarding the matter and have
the thing as vigorously as
could. The public, however, is land
hungry and never fails to bite at a
to secure a piece of land
heaply ;
I'm my opinion no person can at
his time secure any rights in the
ands involved in that suit by apply
ng to purchase the same from the ]
abroad company or otherwise. Any I
money paid to any person claiming to
ocate you upon said lands is wasted
nd lost. This scheme of securing ap- !
licants has many of the elements of !
bunco game and should be avoided"

UNFAIR TO MONTANA.
Canadians Get the Best of Irritation
Projects.

st. Paul.-Controversies between
the Canadian and United States gov
eminent over the waterways treaty
have a direct effect upon the con.
mercial situation in st. Paul through
the treaty's relation to the irriga-
ton projects in Montana. l.. w.
Hill, president of the Great North
ern railroad. shows how the bust
ness expansion of this city would be
handicapped if some definite action
is lot taken soon.
THE Milk river project is involved
in the treaty. said Mr.. Hill. THAT
river has it's source Oh this side of
the boundary, but runs on the Cana
dian side for several hundred miles.
After it recrOsses the line it furnishes
the water for three large projects.
On the Canadian side irrigation has
been established for many years and
a dense settlement has resulted. BY
the time the liver is accessible to
Montana people it is nearly drained.
The treaty proposes to divide part
Of The water of this river as well as
he st. Mary's, which rises on this
side. but flows into Hudson bay. The
Canadians are to be given three
to,rths of the water in st. Mary's
river and Montana people are to have
three-fOurthS of the water in the Milk
river, if the treaty be accepted.
irrigated farms in Canada may be
bought for SO an acre. he said,
while on this side the government
charges $40 an acre for the water
only. That is why settlement is 50
much faster in Canada than it is here.
immigration from The United States
to Canada reached the total of 80, 14S
persons last year, and they tOOk with
them about 500, 900 900. with which to
build up that country. Areas in Mon
ana larger than any Of the New Eng
land states have not been surveyed
and are unopened for settlement for
that reason
The territory in Montana is valu-
able to the business interests Of the
Twin City. For a stretch of about
600 miles from the eastern border of
hat state the only railroad entering
it is the Great Northern and the
4 win City is the logical supply cen
! ter.
