STATE SUES TO RECOVER
VALUABLE TIMBER LANDS.

Salem, Aug. l1.-Suit to recover
a total of 10000 acres of land fraud
ulently secured by the Hyde-Benson
conspirators from the state Of Ore
gon, was instituted today by Attor-
ney General Crawford in Linn, Lane,
Crook, Clackamas, Hood River and
Jackson counties. Hyde and Benson,
secured the lands through dummy
locators and sections 16 and SO Of
each township were involved. Hyde's
conviction was recently confirmed by
the supreme court at Washington.
Attorney General Crawford does not
anticipate any trouble in proving
that the lands were illegally secured
as the court records show plainly
that Hyde and Benson deliberately
set out to rob the state of Its hold
ings.

CONDITIONS ARE BECOMING
SERIOUS IN MIDDLE WEST.

Kansas City, Aug. 14.-As a re-
suit of the seventh consecutive day
of the extreme heat in Missouri, re-
ports reached here today of exhaust
ed water supply, OF crops burned up
and OF Illness caused by the heat and
contaminated water. The same con-
ditions prevail in Kansas and Okla
homa. The situation at Wichita Is
reported precarious No rain has
fallen there since April and many
corn fields In the vicinity have been
30 badly scorched that the dried
leaves have blown from the stalks
and the corn now can scarcely pro-
duce even passable fodder. The same
condition prevails about Hutchinson,
Kansas, but live stock and crops
have suffered but little because OF
sand strata undernow OF water. Al
falfa fields, orchards and market gar
dens are being irrigated from this
underfow.

RETAIL MEAT PRICES
HIGHER THAN EVER.

Chicago, Aug. 14.-Retail meat
prices this winter will be higher than
ever before If the prediction OF pack
ers here comes true. They say to-
day that because of the drought in
Kansas and the southwest, which has
deprived stock Of feed, forty cents a
pound for mutton cuts is certain, and
80 is probable.
Practically all the corn which has
been ruined is in the section which is
usually a heavy exporter Of cattle
and other stock For the last ten
days there has been a steady rush of
cattle to the markets Of the middle
west and big shortage later seems
certain. The farmers foresaw a
light hay crop and began shipping
their steers early. Then the drought
came and the rush increased.
For the first three days of this
week 10000 head of cattle we're re-
ceiyed in the western markets. Be-
cause Of this rush the prices of live
stock are slumpIng now, but 1t is
predicted they soon will soar to un-
heard Of marks.

WILL TAKE
RECESS AFTER TARIFF BIJL

Washington, Aug. 14.-Senate
democrats are in caucus here TODAY
to decide whether to recess after the
tariff bill passes until November
President Wilson is opposed to the
recess.
The democratic caucus recessed
after hearing from the president that
he would tolerate a recess after the
tariff bill is passed. On the floor of
the senate this afternoon all efforts
to obtain an agreement of a date for
the final vote on the tariff We're fu-
tile. There was a general discus
sion which at times grew acrimon-
ious.
Senator Simmons urged August rs
as the date, but Gallinger objected
and denounced the democratic "se-
cret caucus" plan of legislation.
Then Senator James took a hand
and indicated that Gallinger simply
sought to prolong debate in order to
force deferred action on the cur
rency bill.
Senator Penrose also attacked
the democratic caucus plan and
charged the white house with coer-
cion. Bacon defended the president
and denied that the senate ever had
been coerced. On this Penrose said
Bacon might be "the innocent vic
tim of bunco game" upon which
Williams sarcastically "kidded" Pen
rose while the chamber laughed

Adherents of Governor Sulzer de-
clare he has prepared all his moves
and is now waiting to see what

authority 1t is probable Glynn will
not act until the legislature con-
venes next Tuesday, when he prob
ably will send the name of Abraham
Elkus to the senate to be confirmed
as state commissioner of labor. Ell
kus will be confirmed and the ap-
pointment will thus pave the way to
court proceedings to test the legality
OF Glynn's title to the governors

Sulzer, however will not wait for
Glynn to act Before that time he
plans to pardon convict out of Sing

BOURNE PLANS EXTENSIVE
GOOD ROADS BUILDING.


Portland, Aug. 11.-Deyelopment
OF the government-aided road pro-
jects provided for in the plan map
ped out by Former Senator Bourne
will add 100000 100000 to the
wealth of the nation, according to the
former senator from Oregon, who is
in Portland today for general relax
alton from the rigors of Washington
life.
Bourne's plan involves a vast is
sue of government three per cent
bonds, the proceeds OF when shall
be furnished the individual states in
return for an equal face value Of
four per cent state road bonds which
shall be posted with the secretary of
the treasury. The difference between
the three and four per cent bonds, he
plans, will take up the principal in
fifty years so that the state bonds
may be redeemed. So in a measure
the government and individual states
are to cooperate on maintenance,
each contributing two per cent OF the
total bonds.
Bourne pointed out that the aid
OF the government is to be supplied
states at the initiative of the states
themselves, which shall bear all the
burdens Of planning and building,
backed by the government In a finan-
cial way.
