CORNELL LOSES ON STUDENTS
Tuition Costs SI3.7o More Than
Paid BY Each.

Ithaca, N. Y.-Each student at Cor
nell University is costing the institu-
ton $3.50 more than he is putting
back into the treasury by his tuition,
according to statement prepared by
officials.
There are more than 1000 regularly
enrolled undergraduates in the uni
versity, so the loss is a considerable
item. The figures were reached by
estimating that there were SO stu
dents to ever member of the institution
staff. Students average tuition paid
in was 81, ,070 for each group, and the
average salary of teacher is 81, 1873,
or a difference of $118 for 8.6 stu
dents. These fguers do not include
the cost of administration, but refer
to instruction only.
The statement gives the present
value of the university property,
buildings and grounds as 81, ,613, 438.- :
48, and of equipment 81, 994, 512.71.
Station colleges are valued at SAIL

DEDICATE BIG DAM.
Salt River Project in Arizona Ready
for Opening.

Chicago-The United States Rec
lamation service in its work Of supply
ing moisture to arid lands has given
the world five of its largest dams. 1t
was quite appropriate that one of the
largest of these, part of the Salt
River project in Arizona, should be
called the Roosevelt dam, in honor of
the man who, as president, signed the
act that made its construction possi-
Bile.
Col. Roosevelt, in connection with
his visit to Phoenix this spring, will
formally dedicate the dam named in
his honor. In this connection it is
interesting to note that the Nineteenth
National Irrigation congress, at which
it is expected Col. Roosevelt will be
one of the principal speakers at Chi
cago, Dec. to 9, has for its president
Hon. B. A. Fowler, of Phoneix, Ari-
zona, who for many years was presi-
dent of the Salt River Valley Water
Users association.
This immense dam, requiring over
four years work and costing in the
neighborhood of $3,5OO, 900, is 280
feet high, length of base 235 feet,
and top l, 1,O8O feet. The dam is higher
than the Flatiron building of New
York City, and would hide the capitol
at Washington to the dome. Two
four-in-hands could pass on the top.
Most of the wall rests on stones big
enough for team and wagon to stand
on and weighing sixteen tons each.
The lake formed by the dam extends
back in the valley twenty miles and
holds enough water to flood 1000
square miles foot deep. The re-
claimed land will make 25, farms,
each large enough to support at least
five people, making homes for fully
125, 900 Americans. Each acre it is
estimated will yield yearly crops val
ued at $50 to $125.

GRANTS PASS CROP GREAT.
Fruit Inspector Says Yield Will Be
Big This Year.

Grants Pass-The fruit crop of this
section of Rogue River valley will be
among the big yields, according to j.
F. Burke, county fruit inspector who
has finished inspecting the valley.
Last season he examined $50, 900
fruit trees in this county. These fig
ures do not cover the entire field. and
a conservative estimate places the
number of acres at 5000.
Commercial pears took the lead in
the variety of fruit set out in 1910.
Mr.. Burke says the greatest danger to
commercial orchards is found in the
backyard fruit trees in towns. They
are hard to spray, owing to the hooks
and corners of the premises, and are
often neglected for that reason.
The present stage of all the orchards
is somewhat backward, owing to the
cool weather.

MEN ARE KEPT IN NAVY.
Government Exercises Privilege of
War Conditions.

Seattle.-An agreement in the en-
listment contract which the govern
ment has the authority to enforce in
time of war, requiring men to remain
in the service year after their en-
listment has expired, has been invoked
at the Bremerton navy yard. Orders
were received from Washington not to
discharge any enlisted men on the ex-
piration of the four-year term, but
hold them in the sevrice until further
orders.
Orders have been issued to recruit
ing parties to use every effort to per-
suade civilians to enlist, especially in
the Marine corps, which is adapted to
service on land or sea.
At no time since the Spanish-Amer-
ican war has the government invoked
its right to hold men in service longer
than the length Of the regular enlist
ment. Enlistments in the navy and
Marine corps are for four years, with
q proviso that it may be extended to
five years in case of emergency. Men
held more than four years receive a
bonus.

Vale-Through the granting of q
franchise by the city council last even
ing Vale is to have a second telephone
system within so days. The franchise
was grantd to H. S. Jackson, a new
arrival in the city, whose petition was
signed by 118 of the business men and
residents of the city. The new com
pany is to be incorporated within the
next few days and Mr.. Johnson states
that work will begin at once in this
city. The object of the new system is
to bring all of the Independent lines
within the county into the county seat,
while at present Ontario is the main
central telephone station.
The Malheur Home Telephone COM
pany, which has been operating lines
in Vale and vicinity for the past sew
eral years, is connected with the Bell
long distance telephone lines, but does
not connect with the independent lines
of the county, and it is generally be-
lieved that independent telephone con-
nections with every part of the county
will benefit Vale to a greater extent
on account of the help in securing
much of the trade that is now going to
Ontario.

Alaskan City Burns.

Juneau, Alaska, March 11.-With
the temperature below zero the citi-
zens of Douglas City, on an island
across the bay from Juneau, are fight
ing a fierce fire that sprang up last
night, rand at daybreak threatened to
completely wipe out the city. There
are more than 4, 900 people in the city,
1000 being employed in the famous
Treadwell gold mines. A high wind
was raging across the channel and no
help can be sent from this city until
the storm abates. All of the mines
were closed down today.

Savage WoIf-Hound Is New York
MilIionaire's Companion,

New York - A ferocious looking
wolf hound, powerfully built and

like a dog. Every time Ryan rides
In one of his autos the hound sits next

SETTLING NEW COUNTRY.
Loon Lake District Offers Fine OPP
portunities to DairYmen.

Marshfield - Loon Lake, district
just over the line of Coos county and
in Douglas county, and located be-
tween Coos Bay and Drain, is to have
a sawmill in addition to other inn
provements which are being made.
The district was for years isolated,
without any outlet but a trail. Re-
Gently wagon road was built from
Loon Lake to Allegheny, and the re-
suit is that a number of farmers are
going there to settle. j. Mcdonald, a
member of the logging firm of McDon-
aid & Vaughan, will build this spring
a mill at Loon Lake. 1t will cut
about $4,000 feet a day, and will
supply the ranchers and settlers with
lumber for building. The only struc-
lures in the district now are built of
shakes. There is about A, 600 acres of
fine bottom land, which is attracting
the attention of the dairymen, now
that the district has an outlet. Be-
sides, an auto line is to be run from
Drain to Coos Bay, through the Loon
Lake country, this summer, and there
is to be some road building which will
require lumber.
In the locality there is some so, O00,
900 feet of myrtle, maple and other
hard woods, and this will be handled
by Mr.. Mcdonald in his mill If he can
find market for that class of lumber
sufficient to pay him to haul it out.

ENGINE TO CLEAR LAND.
Rich CoquilIe River Bottom to Be
Used for DairYing.

Coquille-S. H. McAdams is con-
structing a machine which will be
used in the clearing of the bottom
land on the Coquille river. 1t can
hardly be called a stump puller, al
though it has many points of ma
chine of that nature. 1t consists of a
boiler and engine mounted on skids,
the engine being equipped with a
drum and cable similar to logging en-
gines. The engine is a double cylin-
der of great power, and the sled or
skids are of massive construction.
Mr.. McAdams says the machine is an
experiment, but that he has made a
close study of the matter of clearing
the bottom land of the Coquille val
ley, and believes he has the proper
kind of a machine for the work.
AS yet he has no contracts for clear
ing, but when the plan is tried out if
it proves successful he will have but
little trouble in securing plenty of
work. The machine will be ready for
operation early this month. Consider
able interest is being shown in the
plan by those who have willow bottom
land in this neighborhood.

MEXICO IS GRATEFUL.
Welcome American Troops--No Fav-
ors for Japan.

|
Mexico City, March IL. - Foreign
Minister Creel has asked Francisco de
la Barra, Mexican ambassador at
Washington, to- extend to President
Taft his thanks for the latter's friend
ly attitude and for the explanation he
sent to President Diaz relative to the
mobilization of American troops.
"Mexico could not expect anything
else from country which has shown
herself to be such friend during so
many years and that so efficiently has
aided in her economic development, "
Mr.. Creel says in his telegram to Mr.
de la Barra, adding, "the words of the
president will no doubt tranquilize
Mexican opinion"
In another message of the am
bassador to Minister Creel regarding a
conference he had with President Taft
yesterday, he says:
President Taft warmly eulogized
President Diaz and added that the
American government would try to
aid, within proper limits, the cause of
peace and order in Mexico; that it
could not be Indifferent, as much on
account of Mexico being a neighbor as
because of American capital invested
in Mexico. He ended by saying the
United States was determined to full
fill its international duties, among
which was the maintenance of the
severe ignity of other countries, es-
pecially in dealing with Mexico, with
whom it had such friendly relations. !"
That Mexico has granted to Japan
no concession for the maintenance of
naval station and no privileges on
the Tehuantepec railway are state
ments which Mr.. Creel this afternoon
authorized Mr.. de la Barra to make.
The increasing rumor in the United
States that Mexico had entered into
an agreement with Japan whereby the
latter was to be permitted to use GER
tain ports along the coast of Lower
California and be granted special priv
ileges for the transportation of sup
plies over the Isthmian railroad,
caused Mr.. de la Barra to send to the
foreign Office today request that he
be permitted to make definite state
ment regarding the charges.
1t advises the government to make
such changes in the personnel of public
officials as are necessary to allay pop
ular disapproval and to do it at once,
without fear of offending any one, re-
gardless of his political standing.
Intervention would not mean what
it did in Cuba, Honduras or Nicaragua
"a military diversion easily realized, ;"
says Ell TEMPO, "and without any
lamentable result. 1t would mean
genuine war with Mexico, though our
frontier might be occupied, our ports
bloekaded, our communication with
the rest of the world cut of. "
Ell TEMPO suggests that interna-
tional war might follow Intervention,
and sarcastically ventures the opinion
that the Americans would find it "bad
for business" the English words be-
ing used. The mobilization Of troops
is characterized as the command "at-
tention, and warning to Mexico to
re-establish quickly the peace of the
country.

Atlanta, Gs.-Speaking before the

Secretary of War Dickinson said that
he hoped to see solution of the ne
gro problem through the voluntary de-
parture of the younger generation of
colored people to a new country which
they would govern themselves, under
the protection of the United States.
He admitted that the time was not yet
ripe for such move, partly because
of the South's labor problem.

Cholera XII, aa in Hawaii.

Honolulu-Another case of cholera
has developed here among the persons
segregated after contact with previous
victims. This makes 26 cases, of
which 21 have proved fatal. In re-
port to the board of health, DR.. Clegg,
of the marine hospital service, says he
believes the disease was brought to
Honolulu from the Orient by what
are known as "chronic bacilli car
riers," not necessarily suffering from
cholera. Its slow development appar-
emily precludes the theory of origin
from infected water or food.
