Der of eastern Oregon sheepmen have
become infected with early stages of
the Patagonia fever and several have
declared themselves anxious to go in
to the business in the southern hemis-
phere, provided conditions there are
as represented. ..
The story in the National Wool
grower is In the form of an interview
with Bailey Willis, member of the
United States geological survey, who
has been in Argentine and has had a
conference with the officials upon
tho subject. on May IA, 1912, the
minister of agriculture, Don Adolfo
Mujca, wrote to Willis as follows:
"In accordance with our conversa

Washington, Aug. 10.-Secretary of
the Interior Fisher today proposed a
plan whereby the government will
allot it's coal lands to cities for use
with the understanding that they are
20 supply municipal needs as well as
those Of it's citizens. The first step
was taken when Fisher recommended
to congress to pass a bill granting $40
acres of government coal land to
Grand Junction, Colo.
Fisher favors a bill authorizing tho
interior department to grant Gao acres
to each city and 140 acres to each
town under conditions providing for
a prompt and continuous development
OF the coal fields and prevention of
any assignment or transfer of the
land, safeguarding the life and health
of the miners and preventing an un-
due waste of miners resources. The
plan provides that the title will revert
to the government If the conditions
are not fulfilled.

Range Land Cheap.
The idea of securing over 5000
acres Of range land at $Si per acre
appeals immensely to eastern oregon
sheepmen who have been hard press
ed at times for sufficient range for
their flocks. They are also attracted
by the statement that the climate
and rainfall in the northern portion
of Patagonia very closely resembles
that of. the, northwestern states of
oregon, Washington and Idaho.
Patagonia was secured by Argen-
tine in 1902 by arbitration with
Chile and it is now the purpose of
the government to develop the terri
tory which is more suited to stock
grazing than to general agriculture.
The territory has heen divided into
three divisions, called Rio Negro

Up But No One Injured-SunISen
Rail Causes Wreck.

Traffic from the east was held up
several hours last night and this NOR
ming by a derailment Of the fast mail
which occurred last night about 1920
six miles east of Baker. The two en-
gines and three mail coaches left the
tracks and one of the engines went
over on its side, but fortunately no
one was killed or injured.
According to local railroad offici-
ais. the derailment was caused by a
sunken rail. The road in the vicin-
ity of the accident is liable to soft
ness at this time of the year, they eX-
planned. and it was one of these soft
of "gumbo" spots that caused the
sinking of a rail about four inches.
When the foremost engine struck the
spot. it Immediately left the track,
pulling the other engines and mail
cars with it. For a distance of prob
ably six hundred feet the track was
torn up and it was necessary to trans
fer around it.

merely suggested few minor changes
in the measure. Both the house and

the establ 'shmeut of a one-man gov

by vote of A to -. The provision
for free tolls which was fought out
in the senate Wednesday was en-
dorsed again just before the passage
of the measure.
Attached to the bill as it passed
the senate were two important amend
ments directed at trust. or railroad
control of steamship lines. The first
by Senator Reed would prohibit ships
owned 10y an illegal industrial com
bination from using the canal and
the second by Senator Bourne, would
force railroads TO give up water lines

were defeated by Overwhelming votes,
