OF 2S9 ORIGINAL
SETTLERS ON PROJECT
1856 NOW HOLD TITLE
Secretary Lane Looks to Una
tilla Conditions in Probe of
Charge That Land is Taken
for Speculation.

OF the 2S9 original settlers on the
/ umatilla project. 1856 remain or have
secured title, according to inyestiga-
ton made by Secretary Lane, Of the
department Of the Interior. Umatilla
project was one Of six projects studied
for the purpose Of ascertaining how
many original settlers remain and to
learn whether there Is foundation for
statements that much Of the land Is
taken for speculation.
The report makes the following
comment on the Umatilla project:
The Umatlla project has always
been bothered by drifting sand. and
IN some restricted localities by an ex-
tremely coarse subson which allows
the rapid escape of the irrigation wa
ter and the leavhing of the soil. These
difficulties are being overcome to
some extent and the progress In cuI-
tivation is steady and encouraging.
Urgent requests have been made for
the government to enlarge the project
by taking over some of the pricat.
canals which have an insufficient wa
ter supply, and constructing a reser-
Voir TO serve them. This cannot be
undertaken without additional funds"
The result of the inquiry regarding
the Umatilla project is summarized in
the REPORT as follows:
100000 Acres in view.
Greater Umatilla: 3500 acres of
public land, 12,00O acres privately

JOY RIDER SMASHES NEW BUICK
MACHINE.

Mr.. Samuel Harding, prominent
farmer, residing on the North Mid
dletown pike near Paris, purchased a.
new Buick machine a few days ago.
Last Saturday afternoon Mr.. Harding
came to Paris on a business mission,
and left his machine parked on Main
street, near Seventh.
When he returned from his errand
the machine had vanished. Parties in
the vicinity told him that they had
seen young man, dressed in a naval
uniform climb in the machine and
drive away. The police dere in
formed, and a search was instituted.
The machine was finally located near
Monterey, where the joy-rider had ev-
identity lost control of it. The car had
crashed into pole at the side of the
pike near the interurban track,
wrecking the machine, and throwing
the pole across the tracks. An in
coming interurban car struck the
shattered pole, but no damage was
done to the car. The crew brought
the information to Paris of the mis-
hap, and a mechanic was sent out to
bring in the wrecked car. At the
garage it was estimated that the car
had been damaged about $3.50. 1t
was said that the young joy-rider
was named Butler. He made his es-
cape.

ONE HUNDRED CATTLE SELL FOR
$4,000.

One of the biggest deals in Bour-
bon county cattle effected on the
local market was carried through
yesterday when Mr.. Chas. c. Clarke,
of near North Middletown, sold to
Moses Greenwich, of Chicago, 100
head of export cattle averagingt1r
500 pounds, at seventeen cents per
pound. The cattle will be shipped to
Chicago about August q. JStockmen
say this is one Of the finest punches
of cattle that has been sold in this
county for many years, and the price
realized justifies the assertion that
the cattle men are coming into their
own again. One Bourbon man hear
ing of the sale, remarked, Just
think of going out into pasture and
driving up $500 worth of cattle to
the buyer and getting the goods for
them. That's money for you!"

''DRAT DEM TIGHT SKIRTS" COL
ORED WOMAN'S LAMENT

Mary Davis, colored, residing in the
county, near this city, is now a con-
vert to the loose skirt for woman's
attire, and all because of the fact
that the tight skirt she wore pre-
vented her from escaping the clutch
es of pursuing policeman.
Mary's Nemesis was Patrolman
Robert Lusk, who may justly lay
claim, after his performance, of be-
ing the champion sprinter of the
Paris police department. 1t happen
ed in this wise, as the cause of Mary's
downfall.
The woman, who was right smart
ly attired for one in her station of
life entered the store Of Mr.. David
Field, and made a small purchase of
supplies. In payment therefor she
rendered check, purporting to bear
the signature of Walker Buckner, a
prominent farmer of the county. The
check was drawn for the sum OF
$1,000. Mary stated that the check
had been given to her by Mr.. Buck

the check closely he found that the
signature had ben written "Waker

was summoned and being given a
description of the woman soon locat-
ed her on High street. When in
formed that she was under arrest and
told of the charge the woman gath
cred her skirts about her knees and
fed up the street like a frightened
deer, closely followed by the pursu-
ing officer. After chase of over
three blocks the officer overlook the
woman and placed her under arrest,
taking her to Jail. The check was
pronounced a rank forgery by Mr..
Buckner. On the way to Jail the
woman said to Patrolman Lusk:

TIE-UP OF RAIL
ROADS IN d. S.

A complete tie-up of the railroads
OF the county is very probable in the
opinion of M. L. Hawyer, President
OF the Chicago District Council of
the Federated Railway Shopmen's
Union, which called a strike Of shop
crafts Friday. He returned from
Washington recently, and declared
the strike is spreading rapidly and
that the unrest among railway work
'ers is so general that the movement
has overwhelmed the international
offices of the various unions involved.
Advices from Cleveland were that
the Executive Board of the American
Federation of Railway Workers, with
a membership of $4,000, chiefly I'M
skilled labor in Cleveland and the
East had decided to strike, according
to Mr.. Hawyer.
The Maintenance of Waymen's
Union is also preparing to strike, it
was said.
With more than 100000 shopmen
on strike and the number increasing,
both President Hawyer and Secretary
John D. Saunders declared railroad
schedules and industry would be seri-
ously crippled within a day or two.
Already steel mills and other indus
tries at Gray steel mills and other
industries at Gary and other North.
ern Indiana points and in Chicago,
have begun to feel the effects of the
strike, according to union leaders,
and when the strike is more complete
factories and mills virtually would be
forced to close down for lack of ore
coal and other essentials.
