FROM THE VALLEY CLARION.

Will Meese, Moline historian, law
yer and politician, was in our midst
during the week receiving congratuia-
tons on his new appointment as attor-
ney for the Illinois-Michigan canal
commission We are informed that
the job came to him unsolicited. In
fact, that it was only through the he-'
culean persuasive efforts of his old
side-kick. Walt. Rosenfeld, that he
was induced TO allow his name TO be
printed on the commission statiOnery
for the paltry salary Of $500 per an
mum.
We asked for rain in our issue of
last week. Didn't we get it? That 5
where we've got the Weather experts
faded. They predict and we seek.

doors at nights. Tuesday night he
neglected to tie up the family COW, and
during her meandering she butted him
just outside the porch where he as
reposing in a hammock. Hen was
spilled, and spent the remainder Of the
night killing mosquitoes. He claimed
his batting average to be .34S.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE State
REGION GROWS FAST.
Southern Oregon Is Rapidly Develop
ing Varied Industries.

Grants Pass That Southern Ore
gon, with its varied resources, is max
ing greater strides than any othel
section of the state, is the belief O.
H. l.. Herzinger, a member of the
city council of Grants Pass. Fruit
raising, alfalfa growing and mining
are some of the chief resources
which are being developed rapidly
With large amount of foreign cap.
ital being attracted to the district,
the City of Grants Pass is feeling the
effect of the development of the sur
rounding country and large munich
pal improvement programme is being
contemplated, declared Mr.. Herzinger.
Mr.. Herzinger has been in Grants
Pass more than four years and in that
time has seen Josephine county grow
from a sparsely settled district into a
prosperous community.
"The Rogue River Valley, in which
Grants Pass is the center, has become
famous for its pears, grapes and ap-
plies, said Mr.. Herzinger. "Devel-
opment along this line is just in it's
infancy. The people of Grants Pass
and vicinity have raised funds for the
construction of concrete dam across
the Rogue River three miles above
the city. Water will be stored by this
dam to supply water to irrigate so, 900
acres of fertile fruit land on either
side of the river above and below
Grants Pass. This large area will be
utilized for the growing of fruits.
"The people of the community dem
onstrated that they were wide-awake
when they subscribed in two hours
$40, 900 for the construction of the
railroad from Grants Pass to the fam
Gus marble caves. This group of caves
forms one of the natural wonders of
Oregon. The railroad will tap one of
the finest timber belts in the state and
will supply transportation to the al
falfa districts along the Applegate
and Williams rivers.
In addition to the horticultural re-
sources of Josephine county, mining
development is going ahead on a large
scale. The Higgins and Anderson
strikes in the old Kirby districts on
the Illinois river are causing much ex-
citement. These properties seem to
be alive with precious metal l be-
lieve if they were remote from trans
portation and difficult of access, we
would have stampede to the camp.
But, it seems, they are too near home
to cause a rush. Mining experts be-
lieve that some of the newly discov-
cred claims bear tin ore in paying
quantities.

LEAGUE TO DEVELOP LAKE.
Local Clubs to Be Organized; Land
Still Open to Entry.

Lakeview-The Lake county devel
opment league is the name of the new
organization that succeeds the Lake
view board of trade and which will
bend its energies toward development
of the entire county and peopling the
large areas of government lands open
to homestead and other entry. The
new organization is composed of rep
resentative citizens of Lakeview and
it will be their endeavor to interest
citizens of the other portions of the
county. 1t is believed that with the
coming of the Nevada California Ore
gon railway, which will be at Lake
view this year, and the contemplated
completion of lines into the north end
of the county, Lake will receive a
great impetus.
Goose Lake valley has 1000 acres
of fertile land awaiting the plow, some
of which can be homesteaded. War
ner Valley has 1000 acres of till
able lands and some homesteads.
Chewaucan valley has $4,000 acres
and some homestead lands. Summer
Lake valley has so, 900 acres of land
that may be irrigated from artesian
wells struck at depths of from 122 to
26O feet, and nearly all of which can
be homesteaded. Christmas Lake val
ley has $50, 900 acres, some of which
can be homesteaded. Horse Mountain
valley has $4,000 acres, nearly all
open to entry Edith valley has 75,-
900 acres, half of it under the 32O-
acre homestead act. Silver Lake val
ley has so, 900 acres, 10000 acres of
which is open to entry. Many other
smaller valleys present homes for the
homeless.
The members Of the new organiza-
tion will visit every precinct in the
county and organize local development
clubs to cooperate with the parent |
and work to the develop
ment of their sections. This under |
taking is not a small matter in a
of this size.

BUILD ELECTRIC LINE.
Eugene to Have Direct Connections
to Tidewater.

Eugene-Stockholders of the Lane
County Asset company have taken ac-
ton directing immediate steps to be-
gin construction of an electric rail
way from Eugene to tidewater at
Florence. The directors of the com
pany will frame instructions to H. D.
Fornieri, chief engineer, looking to
the construction this summer of the
first link of the road from Eugene to
Elmira, approximately Ia miles.
The Lane County Asset company is
local corporation that has been en-
gagged for the past two years in the
promotion of railway to the coast at
Florence. A permanent survey has
been completed and right of way has
been acquired over practically the en-
tire route. Officials of the company
say that sufficient capital is available
to warrant the beginning of actual
construction work on the Ia miles of
level valley to Elmira.
The company has been promised
large quantities of ties by sawmills
along the proposed route, and some of
the rails for the first Ia miles are al
ready in sight. The tentative plan is
to construct an electric line, deriving
power from the surplus current for
sale by Eugene's power plant at Wal
tervlle. Three of the five members
of the city water board, which has
complete control of the electric plant,
are members of the Asset company.
Stockholders of the company also
ordered condemnation proceedings to
obtain two small sections of right of
way for which private negotiations
have not been successful.
These places are between Eugene
and Elmira. Beyond Elmira, right of
way has been obtained as far as Glen
ada, on the south side of the Siuslaw
1arbor, at which point the company
controls 800 feet of waterfront.

DIAZ SECRETLY LEAVES
MEXICO FOR MADRID

Mexico City, May 27. - Porfric
Diaz, to whom for more than 80 years
all Mexico has paid Difference, secret
ly left the palace at O'Clock this
morning Only few friends whom
he trusted followed him to the station.
He went to Vera Cruz and went on
board steamer bound for Spain.
In the distance he could hear the
voices of enthusiastic celebrants, who
were acclaiming the new president,
Francisco de La Barra, and shouting
viva Madero."
So carefully were the arrangements
made for his departure that details
could not be confirmed until this after
noon. Secrecy was due less to appre-
hension of a popular outburst here
than to a desire that his departure
should not become known to maraud-
ing bands. For some hours it was
generally supposed that he had left
over the Mexican National railroad,
which has of late been untroubled by
bandits. This road is equipped with
standard heavy rails and it was
thought there was less danger.
There is another railroad to the
coast, narrow-gauge affair, owned
by the government. Taking it for
granted that he would take the
more luxurious, the bandits did not
molest the smaller line.

HUGHES FOR COMMISSIONER.
w. L. Finley. Expert in His Line, Be-
comes State Game Warden.

Salem - j. Frank Hughes of Cole
Hill was appointed by Governor Wesr
as a member of the State board of fish
and game commissioners to succeed
w. l.. Finley, who resigned as a mem.
ber of the board to become state game
warden, succeeding r. O. Stevenson. OF
Forest Grove. j. N. Wisner, of Ore.
gon City, has been appointed superin-
tendent of state fish hatcheries.
Finley, who has become widely
known as a student of birds and one
of the foremost members of the Audu-
bon society, was serving as the four
year term member of the new board.
The other four members requested
that he resign to take the position as
state game warden, which carries a
salary of $4,000 annually. There
were IL applications for the position,
but these were all carefully considered
by the members and all of them were
found to be not adapted to the posi-
tion.
Members stated that they consid-
cred Mr.. Finley would be of more val
ue in the position of state game ward
en- where he could devote all of his
time to the work, and Mr.. Finley ac-
cepted after a conference with Cover
nor West.
The board also reached the conclu-
sion to establish a new office of super
of state hatcheries at a sal
ary of So, 600 annually. This superin-
tendent will work under the game
warden and the fish warden as well.
He will have charge of trout and sal
mon hatcheries, the trout hatcheries
being maintained largely from the
game fund and the salmon hatcheries
from the hatchery fund of the state.
Notification was sent out by the
board to all of the mills of the state
and others who own dams, fish lad
1ers, irrigation works or other obstruc-
lions to streams that an investigation
will be made in the near future of all
such devices or bitches and the board
will determine to what extent the law
n this respect is being observed.

ALFALFA is HUMAN DIET.
Farmer at Spray Proposes to Can
Roots for Table Use.

Portland, Or. - Alfalfa now has
reached such stage of development
that it can be used for human con-
sumption-at least the roots of it can.
c. F. Waters, an enterprising farmer
residing near Spray, Or, has complet-
ed experiments that convince him that
the roots of the ordinary commercial
alfalfa plant can be treated so that
they will be readily edible as we'll as
highly nourishing and palatable.
He has arranged to construct a
large building for canning alfalfa
roots and expects to offer his product
to the trade within the present year.
The roots can be taken from the
ground after the crops of several sea-
sons have been harvested, so that the
plant is given an added value. Mr..
Waters declares that by proper treat
ment the clever housewife can con-
vert canned alfalfa roots into a var
iety of tempting dishes, which can be
served either as a vegetable or as
dessert.

BANKER MORRIS IN PEN.
Chief Wrecker OF Oregon Trust &
Savings Bank Begins Time.

Salem, Or, May 27. After fighting
for months against the inevitable, w
Cooper Morris heard the doors of the
state penitentiary swing behind hin
and has started serving his sentence
of six years for aiding in the wreck
ing of the Oregon Trust & Savings
bank of Portland
A two-hour argument by Attorney
S. I. Richardson failed to change the
decision of Governor West and no
leniency would be extended to the ex-
banker.
Shortly after 5 O'Clock last night
the governor announced his decision
and Private Secretary Watson i'm
mediately telephoned to Deputy Sher-
if Archie Leonard, who was awaiting
the decision of the executive at the
Hotel Marion. Morris was also at
the hotel with number of friends.
District Attorney John H. McNary,
George M. Mcdowell, Alex Sweek and
Archie Leonard accompanied Morris
to the penitentiary in an automobile
secured by the district attorney and at
$50 O'Clock Morris entered the prison.
Superintendent James refused to state
what number he would give to the ex-
banker and stated that such would not
be given out under any circumstances.
"Mr Morris will be placed in line
with the rest of the prisoners and he
will be treated the same as the 9TH
ers, stated the superintendent. "It
is probable he will have no work to do
for some time. There are about 100
men at the institution who are not
employed now and the new prisoners
are not given work. For that reason
he undoubtedly will not be placed at
labor, and not because we intend to
discriminate in his case"

coal train on the Seaboard Airline
went through the !trestle seven miles
east of Bostick Monday, killing both
engineers and firemen. The trestle
was weakened by fire which the first
engineer did not see and gave way
with the weight of the engines. Fif-
teen of the 29 loaded steel cars crashed
into Wallaces creek, piling up on the
two engines and burying the helpless
victims in the wreckage. Traffic will

HEAT KILLS MANY.
Mississippi Valley States Suffer From
Hot Wave.

Chicago, May 29.-Full effects of
the terrible heat wave were beginning
to appear today when II deaths were
reported to the police. In addition
there were many prostrations, some of
which are certain to prove fatal.
The temperature scared above 94
and was accompanied by dense humid
ity, which made breathing difficult
and greatly intensified the suffering.
Weather forecasters predict break
in the torridity some time within "a
hours.
At Toledo, o., two persons fell dead
in the streets and at Evansville, Ind,
a heat victim, while delirious, cut his
throat.
Dispatches from other cities and
towns tell similar stories. St. Louis
is experiencing record weather and
the schools there will remain closed
until the situation is relieved. In
Pittsburg, Youngstown, O., Gary,
Ind, and other industrial centers
where large steel mills are located,
work has been reduced to the mini
mum, as men cannot endure the in
tense heat
At Milwaukee Frank Siebel, secre-
tary to George Brunder, the publisher,
was overcome by the heat and COM
mitted suicide by drowning.
The health department and sanitary
bureau had an unusually large number
of men out today watching the ven
ders of hokey-pOkey, ice cream cones
and decayed foodstuffs. The offenders
are chiefly Italians and Greeks, who
buy putrid meat and Vegetables and
sell the stuff in the tenement districts.

Airships to Fight in Air.

Chicago-President Taft has advised
the promoters of the aviation meet to
be held here August 1920 that he will
be in Chicago June a, and will meet

how extensively the army and navy
will join in the military features of
the meet. 1t has been announced that
the president will be given full oppor-
tunity to test out the aeroplane as a
war factor in any manner he wishes.
The managers of the meet hope to
have the United States government
bring about the first battle in the air.

Elv Elirts Win Ocnan

Eureka, Cal.-Eugene Ely, whose
distinction as an aviator rests, to a
considerable extent, upon his success
in alighting upon the deck of the bat
tleship Pennsylvania in San Francisco
bay, made what he termed one Of the
most dangerous flights of his career
here. Facing a 45-mile wind, he rose
l,OO0 feet, scared out over the tim
bered crags and rose and dipped above
the breakers that roared over Hum
boldt bay bar. For nearly half an
hour he hung over the sea, while
thousands of spectators watched him,
excited but anxious.

SECRETS LAID BARE
Steel Trust Operations Disclosed
by John ". Gates.
Carnegie Company Was Bought at
So for Sl-Competition EIim-
mated BY Combine.

Washington, D. C.-John w. Gates
told the house "steel trust" investiga-
ting committee Saturday the history
of the United States Steel corpora
tion. Present at its birth, he de-
scribed how it was the natural out
come of what he described as the re-
fusal of Andrew Carnegie to be bound
by the "gentlemen's agreements"
that marked the early days of open
competition in the steel business.
He also told of millions lost and
created almost in breath; how the
Carnegie mills, appraised at $780,,
600, 900, were reorganiZed as worth
1920, 900, 600 almost within the time
required to make the transfer to the
corporation; of the clash in the form
ative days when John d. Rockefeller
was dissuaded from joining in the ere
alton of the trust.
Relating how Carnegie had been
forced to abandon plans for extending
his steel business, Mr.. Gates frankly
admitted the combination was formed
to throttle competition, and that,
when John D. Rockefeller had sought
to enter the steel business, deal was
put through which forced him to sell
out for 40 cents on the dollar.
Characterizing Mr.. Carnegie as a
bull in china shop, Mr. Gates
told of midnight conference between
himself, Charles M. Schwab and j. P.
Morgan, at which the Steel Corpora
tion was conceived, and said that it
resulted in Carnegie's getting $780,,
900, 600 in the corporations securities
for his interests, which he had offered
for sale for $16O, 600, 600 cash.
The taking over of the Tennessee
Coal & Iron company during the panic
of 1907, he said, was confidential deal,
put through by Mr.. Morgan, and was
forced on him.
Plans made by Mr.. Carnegie in 1899
and 1900 to circle his steel interests
with railroad of his own and to com
pete with the National Tube company,
by Mr.. Morgan, by the erec-
tion of tube works at Ashtabula, o.,
we're factors that led to the birth of
the steel combine.
