WILL START CAMAS
CREEK PROJECT SOON
LANDOWNERS SIGN UP
FOR WATER RIGHTS
Indications Are That Waters of Cam
as Creek Will Soon Be Taken by
Tunnel Through Mountains to But.
ter Creek-2O,OO Acres Would BE
Reclaimed.

All indications are that another
dream of Umatilla county promoters
is to be realized soon and by Il 90
600 more acres of barren land made
to produce their share of the diversi-
fled crops of the county. The dream
in question is what is known as the
proposed Camas creek project. the
purpose of which is to dam the wa
ters of Camas creek in the southern
part of the county, conduct them
through the mountains by means of
tunnel and turn them into the
mouth of Butter creek to be carried
down to the lands which only need a
little more moisture than the heav-
ems give them to make them yield
abundantly.
This project has been planned for
some time past but difficulty was en-
countered in getting the owners Of
the lands in question to sign up for
the water. This obstacle has now
been overcome, r. y. Stanfield having
recently signed up for his 1000 acres
and others doing likewise. so that II
now seems that before long prelimi-
nary work will be begun on the pro-
ject.
The principal promoters Of the pro-
ject are o. d, Teal, the wealthy land
owner of Echo, and Attorney ]. T.
Hinkle of Hermiston. Their next step
will be the floating of bonds for
100000 to be secured by the selling
of water rights at the rate of S25 an
acre for the 10000 acres. This land
is partly semi-wheat land at present
and partly covered with the native
sage brush.

Circus Will BE Here.

There has been report circulated
quite generally to the effect that the
circus of Sells-Floto will not show
mere on June as scheduled owing
to the fact that the city requires
license for a parade inside the city
limits. This report was branded as
raise this morning by Arthur Bennett,
general press agent for the circus,
who was here today. Mr.. Bennett was
formerly dramatic critic of the Dem
yer Post which paper owns and di-
rects the big Sells-Floto circus.

Washington May 1.-THE govern
ment prosecutions Of the steel, beef,
bath tub coal, paper. glass, steam
ship sugar and electric trusts, in the
opinion of lawyers are likely to be
gravely affected by the Standard Oil
decision. 1t practically doubles the
work of the prosecution as the gov
ernment must now prove that the re-
straint of trade is unreasonable" un-
der the new ruling. For this reason
1t is probable that some of the pro-
ceedings against the smaller trusts
will be dropped.
In the beef trust proceedings es-
pecially the unreasonable" feature of
the decision will be fully tested. The
beef trust attorneys recently filed a
demurrer to the indictment found
against Armour and ten other pack
ers for the conspiracy built almost
entirely around the unreasonable
ness .of the governments contention
as to their MONOPOLY of beef trade

Probable Officers.
The cabinet portfolios, It Is said,
probably viii be filled as follows:
Minister Of war-General Gonzales
Sala2.
Minister Of justice-Senor Vasquez
Tagle
Minister of gubernacion-Dr. Fran
cisco VasqueZ Gomez.
So far as the governorships are
concerned, the insurrectos' have prac-
tically decided on their men for the
largest and most important of the
states as follows:
Chihuahua-Abram Gonzales.
Sonora-Senor Cayon
Snaloa-Manuel Bonilla.
Yueatan-Jose Pine Suarez.
guadalupe Gonzales.
oahuila--Venustiano Carranza.
In the selection of General Con
zales Salaz for the post of minister of
war and Senor Vasquez Tagle for min
lister of justice the rebels have cho-
sen two men who have not taken any
active part in the revolution. In fact
General Saliz is one of the foremost
figures in the Mexican army. DR..
vasquez Gomez, who has been active
in the revolution, Is a personal friend
of Senior de la Barra, the minister of
foreign relations. In his new post,
DR.. Gomez will have gubernatorial
Jurisdiction over Mexico's three larg-
est territories of Lower California,
Tepic and Quintana Rio and the fed
eral district which contains Mexico
City. The minister of gubernacion
likewise derives great political power
in that it is the connecting link be-
tween the governors of the states and
the federal government.
Gomez for Vice President.
DR.. Gomez probably will occupy the
office for only short time, in fact
about four or five months. when the
present rcvolutionst party, which
probably will be known hereafter as
"the progressive party" will nom-
nate him as vice president, as a rum
ming mate to Francisco l. Madero jr.,
the presidential candidate. These two
men opposed President Diaz and Vice
i
reelection ticket about a year ago,
and it was this controversy which
arose as to the legality of that cleo
ton which precipitated the revolu-
ton.
Provisional President Madero today
discussed with his cabinet the pro-
posals which he made to Judge Cara
bajal in his conference last night and
the cabinet approved. During the day
Judge Carbajal received encouraging
news from Mexico City, which made
1t possible for both sides to admit
that peace was almost an established
fact and that a nation wide armistice
would be declared within "a hours.
One condition Of such an armistice
would be that the rebels could use the
federal telegraph lines and railway
lines on a parity with the federal gov
ernment where they now control the
situation.
