THE MOTtNTNG OKEOONTAN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1901. IN FAVOR OF THE STRIKE IfEW JERSEY OEieTRAI MEN MAY GO OUT THIS "WEEK. Employe on the Principal Division VVoted to Take Radical Action Other Labor Iteivs. "WTLKES3ABRE, Pa., April 9. The em ployes of this division of the Central Rail road of New Jersey, It Is said, have voted almost unanimously in favor of a strike, providing that "Vice-President "Warren, of the road, still persists in refusing the Brotherhood officials a conference. It is believed iiere, however, that Vice-President Warren -will ask the grand officers and various Brotherhood officials to re turn to New York and discuss the con ditions . The men on this division are well organized. The say that If Vice-President Warren maintains the attitude "which rebuffed the grand officers of the Brotherhood, a etrike is expected by Wednesday or Thursday. The strike will be more serious to this region than any other along the Jersey Central; as it would compel the suspension of work in many mines which have no other outlet for their product, and would force about 12,000 miners to quit work. MISTERS' STRIKE IX INDIANA. Powder Question Causes the Trouble Lang: Lockout Predicted. INDIANAPOLIS. April 9. The National executive committee of the United Mine workers continued its work all day. Ac cording to a statement given out at Na tional headquarters, the condition of af fairs in the block coal fields of Indiana is extremely critical, and all mines are closed. The powder question Is the cause of all the trouble, and it is said that the miners are unanimous In their attitude. The clause In the agreement made be tween the miners and operators recently concerning the price of powder has prac tically precipitated a strike at Lonton. A strike which violates any articles of an agreement will not receive the sup port of the National organization, and a strike among the block coal men may en courage the bituminous boal miners, who have already evinced a tendency to evade certain regulations contained in the agree ment reached at Terre Haute. The situa tion in Indiana is attracting the attention of the National officers assembled here, and they await the outoome with anxiety. The National committee tonight wired the committee of miners at Brazil that It could not advise them to sign contracts unless the powder question was elimi nated. This telegram was read at a joint meeting of miners and operators at Bra zil, and caused an adjournment. The op erators refuse to recede. A strike is now on, and a long lockout is predicted. FUTURE FULL OF PROMISE. Bright Prospects Ahead of Prairie City Country. PRAIRIE CITY, Or., April 6. (To the Editor.) With the advent of Spring, comes the prospector, the investor and the settler. This morning I received -a letter from Humboldt, Neb., asking about the State of Oregon, the wrfTer having ead a copy of your valuable journal. This letter is onljone of many, and shows that our state is receiving the notice of the three classes above aluded to. Eastern Oregon lb attracting more attention than any other locality, and you can scarcely turn around today with out being met by questions from pros pective Investors as to the opportunities here. The John Day Valley is the thearer of a rapidly shifting scene. Mines, timber, fruit, coal, grain and cattle, all come in for their share of,inquiry. Portland sees the -wealth that has lain dormant for so long, and divided with San Pranclsco and other energetic cities the scramble for first place. Development work in the mines begins to show the richness and extent of the wealth hidden in those bills. P.- P. Morey has a "mine" in the Pres ent Need, and the development work sim ply accentuates its standing. When the Standard gets its smelter in operation, which will be early this season, an Im petus will be given to the mining indus try that will yield marvelous results. Ike Guker has gone to his properties at Cougar Ridge, and active development will go on. Joe Bees and his coterie of miners are running a -400-foot tunnel on the Wilue Boy, with results that keeps them in a state of bewilderment. Even the country rock assays over ?2, and the ledge matter equals that of the Standard. The Feru boys brought In some rock from the Will Cleaver group that caused a flutter among miners and a hasty depar ture of prospectors to the hills. To sum up, the mining situation in a nutshell, we say: The development un der' way now will place the Prairie City region in the first rank of mining districts before another Winter. There are other sources of excitement. The probability that a railroad will soon tap the John Day Valley is a powerful incentive to exploit its manifold resources. .The Sumpter Valley Road will sobn be completed and trains running to Whit ney, This will make a radical change in business. In the past, freight has been shipped to Baker City, and hauled from there by tparn With the completion of trie road to W351fne5L which Is only 30 miles away, freighting business wlir be changed, and sections south of here that have been accustomed to go to Ontario will come this way. Nor is this alL This railroad will soon reach here, and Prairie City will be the distributing point lor a large scope of country that now goes to Baker City. Scarcely a day passes that some busi ness man is not seen on our streets try ing to buy a lot to erect a store upon. Portland has had two here already. Nor is this all; the settlement of the Colum bia Southern affairs promises an early extension to this place. An examination of the map will show that the junction of Dixie Creek and John Day River is a natural center to the mines around us, as well as to the fertile farms of the valley, and ateo the timber. The freight and passenger business of Eastern Grant County will be a marvel to railroad men. Southeast of us is the easiest pass In (Hhese mountains, and the extension of the Columbia Southern opens to them and to Portland a field that will pour many thousands of dollars into Portland's banks. There is not, today, so rich a field of natural resources as Is presented by this valley and Its adjacent hills. It has lain dormant, because of lack of transporta tion facilities, but with the advent of shipping facilities, a trade will be estab lished and built up that will satisfy any one. San Francisco sees this field, and yearns for Its flesh pots. To get here her merchants must cross many miles of poor land, but the Nevada, California & Oregon Railroad recognizes the value of it, when once they get here. A year's study of the business oppor tunities here, and the probable develop ment, consequent to their railroad con struction, Increases my faith in the future of the Jobn Day Valley. Tbere is still another element of growth, and that Is the HIlgard-Granlte road. That road will mete the Columbia South ern, the Sumpter Valley and the Nevada, California & Oregon roads here, and thus all the mining districts will be tapped, and their golden streams turned Into the busy world. Some enthusiasts think the Burlington will pass through our valley on its way to Portland. Now Tratch us grow, and watch the fulfillment of our prophecies. We "hank er" for the day when we shall receive The Orecronlan the same dav It Is minted. We bave said but little of our individual J mines,, as the space you can give us would be sorely taxed to tell all. An era of Improvement is in sight in conservative old Prairie City that will transform it from an Arcadian simplic ity to a modern, live, 20th century city. We are not worrying about the name you' give your exposition, but when you have It we wish to come, by rail, and en masse. Are we welcome? B. N. CARRIER. PROTEST FROM A POPULIST. ' No Reason to Disband. Says John C. Luce. JOHN DAY, Or., April 9. (To the Edi tor.) I see that Frank Williams, of Southern Oregon, was interviewed at the Perkns, and says the work for which the Populist party was organized being finished, the party can now disband. The a&Son of the Fusion state committeemen In disbanding this organization was, I think, quite unnecessary. The Fusion forces have been securely In the .Demo cratic fold since 1S96.

COTTAGE GROVE, Or., April 0. R. M. Veatch, who has just been elected Mayor or this city, is one ol the bet-known Democrats in the state. He has been prominent In politics for about 25 years. Mr. Veatch tvas born in IlllnoU in 1843. He came to Oregon from Iowa in 1864. In 1SG4 he graduated from the State Agricultural College At Corvallls. He was elected Representative from Lane County in 18S2, and re-elected in 1884. In 1886 he was chosen Senator from Lane County, sacveeains himself In 1S90. He was appointed Register of the Roseburg Land Office in 1895, and served a full term. Twice he has been fa vored with the Democratic nomination for Congress. He was elected -Mayor of. this city by a large majority. platform or made a canvass or campaign on Populist principles. There never has since that date been an effort made by Fusion Populists to come back to Populist principles and weld the split In the Populist party. They have held conferences and compromised J on platforms and principles to be dls cussed and advocated in the campaign with Democracy, but with Populists nev er. When a conference committee of which Frank Williams was a member wag sent to the Middle-of-the-Road conven tion. In Portland, In April, 1900, the chair man of the Fusion convention, W. B. King, remarked that he hoped they would get back alive, but that the com mittee had no compromise of any kind to offer our convention. Our proposition to them was the Omaha platform.

OUTSIDE BIDDERS BARRED OREGON MAILS "WILL BE CARRIED BY MEN LIVING NEAR ROUTES. This Will Be Provided In tho Con tracts Which Commence Next Year. .-WASHINGTON, April 5. About the middle of September the Postofflce De partment will advertise for proposals for carrying the malls on the various routes In Oregon and Washington for the four years from July 1, 1902, to June 30, 1906r This year an Innovation In this line will be Introduced which should work to the material benefit of local bidders. Here tofore the bulk of the Oregon and Wash ington contracts have been awarded to. Eastern bidders or to men who are known, to the department asj speculative bidders. VEATCH. ' They have made a practice of going Into tne several states on these quadrennial biddings, offered to carry the mails at ex tremely low figures, and naturally secured the contracts. They had no Idea of carry. lng the malls themselves when they en tered the bidding; but Intended to sublet the contracts to local men In order to clear themselves, 'these bid ders would force poor farmers' boys and others who could 111 afford It to carry the malls on thesq routes at a salary; which' mien nines wouiu not pay tne living ex penses of the subcontractor o'r the main tenance of his horses. Of course, where stagedrlvers took these subcontracts as a side Issue, they perhaps made a little something; but stages, as a rule, are not used on these star routed. Furthermore, the deartment has been overrun with com- be had on underpaid salaries. Nor does he feel that there is any occasion for pay that speculative bidding Is precluded at the coming letting of contracts. Consequently, when proposals are re ceived next Fall, one of the stipulations to be enforced most stringently Is that every bidder live tributary to the route on which. he bids. In this way Eastern "e J5 & rCtXUiZm JPk the competition, and Oregon men will carry the malls In Oregon, as far as pos sible, while Washington men will carry the malls in their state. Of course, the success of this system depends largely upon whether there will be a sufficient number of local bidders to supply .all routes. The department expects that the prices cesslty for rural, free dlllvery. The dif ference between this service and rural free delivery Is simply this: The star route box delivery requires the carrier to leave mall, where so. requested, In boxes which residents along the line of his route may erect on the roadside. The farmers are responsible for mall so left The carrier never leaves his route, and never goes to the houses to deliver mall. The rural, free-delivery carrier does leave his route to deliver the mall at the houses, and, moreover, sells stamps, pos tal cards, money orders, and Is. In fact, a postofflce on wheels. As stated before, all new star-route contracts will call for box delivery. Between now and the middle of Sep tember local men who contemplate bid ding on the several mall routes have am ple time to look the field over, ascertain about what it will cost them to under take the different contracts, and when bids are called for they should be ready to submit a reasonable and comprehen sive bid, which will receive favorable con sideration. With outside competition cut off, they have a great advantage over pre vious years. And when they have secured their contracts, they may well thank the Second Assistant Postmaster-General, for he is",the man' who; while- caring 'for the Interests of the Goevrnment, is yet the friend of the local mall contractor, and is doing all he can to assist him. ARTIFICIAL EVAPORATIOH. it Opens an Extensive Market to Frait Growers. HUNTINGTON, Or., April 6. (To the Editor.) Artificial evaporation of fruits and vegetables is simply throwing out the waters as near instantaneously as possi ble, by dry, hot air. The quicker the waters are .thrown out, the more of the natural flavors are retained In the sold matter, and by adding the water re moved, at any time, at any place, under almost any climatic condition, we have the natural fruit or vegetable, as a raw material.. Artificial evaporation began to come into prominence In 1871 and 1872. The pro cess was developed by John Alden, and known as' the Alden Preserving 'Process, by evaporation of fruits and vegetables, and the above methods were the cardinal principles of the system. They operated for several years, and manufactured the raw material Into a finished product, all along the line In fruits and vegetables, and so perfect was their system, that the flavors of their fin ished product could be distinguished about as readUy as in the fresh, raw material. One could tell the variety of apples 'a year afterward, when tlu article was properly treated, before cooking, and It was ackpowjedged in this country, and the old countries, by those few, conversant with their system, as being the most per fect preserver of fruit and vegetables ever discovered. But the large capital re quired In plants, together with the -skilled labor required to take the green raw ma terial and throw out the water In three and one-half to five minutes, and produce a finished article as dry as'' possible, for Instance, to take fifty pqunds; of apples green, and concentrate to six pounds of dry product, was too expensive, and they could not compete with other processes that- produced quite as sightly goods, at half the cost; hence, they had to quit business before the consumers fully real ized these benefits. They did not use the bleaching process on any of these goods; It was simply quick evaporation by hot air,, thus pre serving colors and flavors. The evaporator Is the grower's and con sumer's friend. The grower, produces the raw material and the evaporator pre serves It or places It in a condition where the raw material has a market value, a commercial value, regulated by supply and demand, a necessary result of the operations of the evaporators. The evap orators take up the excess, makes a mar ket value as an article of commerce. A staple, worth, In a staple condition, some value, and of course, the value of the raw material Is regulated by the value of the staple or commercial value. Hence, you see the necessity of the grower and the evaporator co-operating; the grower to produce high grade raw material, and the j evaporator to produce a high grade fin ished product, and when co-operation Is mutual and natural, why shourd the re sults not be profitable also to both grower and evaporator? Now, Is there any good reason why evaporators should not be operated profit ably on this Northern Pacific coast, for at least from June until January, on fruits and vegetables, etc.? The grower produces continuously from these dates, and wants a market and must have a market, or he will lose his interest as a producer. Money is a great Incentlre for high development In production. He wants a value for his strawberries, cher ries, raspberries, blackberries and light colored plums and prunes, dark colored plums and prunes; jcls early apples', such as Astrachan, Duchess, etc.; his later va rieties of apples and prunes, pears and vegetables, lasting up to January, and the evaporators are the medium to make the market. True, artificial evaporation is a pure food proposition, simply natural. It places the raw material ln a condition to go before the consumer in a simple, nat ural'' and less xpehslve manner than- any other preserving method, and, it seems to I me, has a greater f titure. ' Egg plums, green gage plums aud other light colored plums 'and fruits 'should bo taken from the trees at early maturity, about In such condition as you would gather them for shipment, and all should be pitted and passed over the evapora tors at that stage of maturity. The full acid is in, and not so much of the sugars, so but that the waters can easily be thrown out without so much heat as to create steam. Too much heat produces steam, which causes distillation, and dis tillation means loss of flavors and weak ening of the preserving properties of the evaporated product. Fruit evaporated from raw material, taken from the trees as above, while quite acid, when cooked carries a clear syrup, a clean cut form, color and fiber, and a clear, clean stone or pit. ' , ' It looks appetizing, and Is appetizing when sugared to the consumer's taste. He feels that the eye has not been dis appointed, and the other senses are har monious, and although the appetite is off, for the present, the memdry still lin gers, and he soon wants more of the same sauce. How different are the results, when a dish of Italian prunes are placed before him, that have fully matured and fallen to the ground. Some are one side fully developed, and the other dead and shriveled. Some are soft and large, some 1 Sour Stomach? I my Back up a sewer, and you poison the whole neighborhood.

A visit to Portland Is Incomplete with out devoting at least one day to the Co lumbia River and Its magnificent scenery. You can leave Portland at 9 A. M. any day on the O. R. & N. Co.'s palatial Po'rtland-Ohlcago special train, lunch at The Dalles or in the dlnlng-car, be back at 4:30 P. M., and have seen the imost attractive portion of the .Columbia. In malting the trip by raii you' obtain a near view of the. many beautiful cascades, the train coming to a standstill for a few moments at Multnomah Falls, and as the track skirts the south bank of the river the stream and Its north shore aro constantly in sight. Should you desire a ride on a river steamer, take the O. R. & N. Co.'s train at 9 A. M. any day except Sunday, for Cascade Locks, spend a short time there, and then board the steamer as she passes through the locks en route to Portland. A more extensive river excursion can be had by leaving Ash-street dock, Port land (dally except Sunday), at 8 P. M. for Astoria, on the O R. & N. Co.'s fast, electric-lighted steamer "Hassalo," arriv ing at Astoria, 100 miles distant, about daylight; returning, leave Astoria at 7 A. M. (except Sunday), arriving at Port land about 5 P.'M.
