PROJECT EXTENSION
PARTLY PROMISED
CHAMBERLAIN AND BOURNE
ARE GIVEN ASSURANCE
Oregon Senators Find Million and
Half Available for Commencement
of West Extension OF Umatiila Pro-
ject and Secure departments Prom
Use.

That the extension of the west Una
tilla project will be taken up at an
early date is the encouraging message
received this afternoon by Or. c. ].
Smith, chairman of the committee
appointed by the Pendleton COM
mercial association, in response to a
telegram which he sent to Senators
Bourne and Chamberlain urging them
to use their influence to secure for
oregon her just share of reclamation
funds.
The following is the message as re-
ceived:
Washington, ID. c., Jan. 6.
Hon. c. ]. Smith,
Pendleton, Ore.
After conferences with department
of interior and reclamation service
we see no hope of securing larger ap-
portionment from loan fund for Ore
gon reclamation projects but feel
confident from informal assurances
that West Umatilla Project will be
taken up at early date. Either by
readjustment of tentative apportion-
ment of general reclamation funds or
by assignment of funds not yet ap-
portioned. probably million and half
will be available for commencement
of west Umatilla project.

State Sheep Inspector Says

Sufficient for Office,

Most Unusual Report from State Of

Oregon Sheep Not Free from Dis
ease But Scab and Other Infections
Are Under Control.

Salem, Or, Jan. 6.-Oregon sheep
are practically free from scab, accord
ing to the reports of State Sheep In
spector W. H. Lytle and Secretary
Herbert Boylen of the state board Of
sheep commissioners, which were filed
with Acting Governor Jay Bowerman
today. After wour years of rigid sheep
inspection the authorities have sue
ceeded in eradicating scabbies from
flocks in Oregon which were seriously
infected four years ago. Further
more, to cap the climax, both the state
sheep inspector and secretary Of the
board of sheep commissioners are
agreed that not only is the present ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the joint
maintenance of those two offices suf-
and they ask that it be reduced, some
thing unusual indeed in a state de-
partment
Increase of F7Ocks.
The report of Secretary Boylen
gives the number of sheep in Oregon
at this time at 2,441,914. It further
sets forth that United States wooden
mills reports gives Oregon credit for
100000 fleeces in 1909 and 2,000,-
600 in 1908. showing a gradual de-
crease. Secretary Boylen says that
there has doubtless been a decrease,
but as much oregon wool is hauled by
markets in other states the govern
ment's report is misleading, but fair
ly accurate. The governments report
for 1910 was not available when this
report was prepared. In 1910 there
was S2S,750.410 invested in the east
ern part of the state and the remain
der, or s3,730,310, in Willamette val-
ley and western oregon.
Scab Eradicated.
DR.. W. H. Lytle says that sheep
scab has ceased to be a menace to
the industry in any part of the state
and as a result great saving has re-
suited therefrom to sheep owners, es-
pecially in eastern oregon. He says
further that the value to this state of
the eradication of this disease cannot
be very we'll overestimated
Both the reports of Secretary Boy
len and Sheep Inspector Lytle close
with the statement that $4,000 an
nual Appropriation is too much money
and not near that sum is any longer
required by the department. DR..
Lytle sets forth that the expenses of
the office during the season when
his work can only be done have not
been more than $50 per month, so he
asks that his annual appropriation be
Ia l..
other places where it is needed more.
SO far as known this is the only state
department that ever was satisfied
with the appropriation it gets from
the legislature.

RICHMOND POLICE BAFFLED.
SURROUNDS
TEMPTED KIDNAPPING.

Richmond, va. ian. 9,-The po-
lice are baffled by the mystery SUR
rounding well-dressed stranger,
who last Friday night attempted 70
kidnap Abraham Brown. the S-year-
old son OF Joseph Brown and was
only prevented from doing so by the
cleyerness of the boy, who effected
his escape from the stranger after
having been in his grasp for several
hours.
Ii was few minutes after
o'clock that night when Samuel Zim-
norman, who is employed In
Browns shop, looked up from his
sewing machine and found stranger
looking ct him. The stranger asked
| IL Mr.. Browns little boy was in the
house. Zimmerman called the boy,
who was playing in the basement.
The stranger Immediately proceeded
TO make friends with the child by
giving him a coin, telling him there
would be lots of nice things for him
IL he would do something, which,
Zimmerman who knows but little
English, did not understand. Sud
denly the stranger grabbed the boy
in his arms and dashed out the door
with him. The alarm was given and
the police began a search for the Lad
and his captor.
Three hours later the boy himself
flung open the front door OF his
home and rushed into the arms OF
his half-crazed mother He ther
told the story Of how the stranger
had taken him TO several saloons
and finally TO a toyshop, where he
bought him several toys. While
here he called messenger boy ant
sent to certain address for money
Before the messenger returned, ths
boy. who by this time was thorough
ly alarmed, suddenly dashed ava.
from his captor and outstripped hin
down the street, making his wal
home.

FREE0FCHARGE.
Merchant Charged With Firing
His Store IS RelnaSed

Arthur Grenburg, who was arrest
ed Saturday, December 81, charged
with firing his 3. and 10 cent store
on East Main street. was last Fri
day released after one Ut the hard
est fought cases in the history OF the
Durham recorders court. 1t became
evident Wednesday that evidence
offered by the state was not sufficient
to hold a man on the charge OF set
ting fire to his store. After all the
evidence had been produced and at
torneys nor both sides had made their
arguments. Recorder X. II. Sykes
visited the scene of the fire and after
due elaboration released Mr.. Green
burg.
The case has been one OF the most
sensational in the history OF Durham,
and the fact that Mr.. Greenburg is
exonerated from all blame for the fire
has created a strong sentiment in his
favor.
