8 4 THE HOBKIKG- OBEGONIA2C, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1905. HUE I1T PENDLETON ;Matlock-Tayior Block Gutted by the Flames. EXPLOSION AT INCEPTION Orayor of City, Who Is One of the Owners, Asserts His Belief That an Incendiary Started the Blaze. PENDLETON, Or., Sept. 3. (Special.) Pirc early this morning partly gutted the !MaUock-Taylor building on Court street, causing a loss of between 525,000 and 530,000. The Are was discovered y the night clerk of the Golden Rule Hotel, who was startled by a terrific explosion, and upon making an Investigation he found smoke Issuing from the rear of the building. An alarm was quickly turned In, and the Are department did heroic work In saving the ontlrc block, finally getting the flames under control between 4 and 5 o'clock. Fire started in the room occupied by the Pendleton Cigar Factory, and It is believed to be of Incendiary origin. Mayor Matlock, one of the owners of the build ing, is of the opinion that the fire was the work of an incendiary, and officers are now making an investigation. The architect office of Howard & Swingle was totally destroyed, with & loss of over 52000, covered by only 5500 in surance. A. J. McMullan. owner of the cigar fac tory, estimates his loss at 53000. with 51000 Insurance. The room and fixtures occupied by the Woodmen of the "World were also de stroyed. Nearly as much loss was caused by waer, which seeped through the floors and damaged, the stocks of the Model Bakery, the Umatilla. Meat Company and the piano store of Guernsey & Gordon. Insurance of 518,000 was carried on the building, and the stocks of merchandise occupying the first floor were partly insured. ELECTION ' TO HIDE FRAUD Defaulting: School Director Made Re turn That 33 Votes Were Cast. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash.. Sept. 3. (Special.) W. R. Laidlor. the defaulting school director of the Topponlsh district, is to the front again in a sensational case that has Just come to light in Yakima Centy. He has been In jail for the past three weoks on the charge of having is sued fraudulent warrants against the dis trict, being unable to procure bail. An investigation by the Prosecuting Attorney rovoals the startling fact that Laidlor hold an election in the district July IS last, for the purpose of voting 512,000 bonds te liquidate the warrant indebtedness of "the district. This election proves to have boon fraudulent in every particular. Laid lor returned 33 votes as having been cast at the election, and the Issue carried, whon in fact no votes but his own wore oast. April IS last an eloction was held to vote bonds to pay off the indebtedness of 512,000. It turned out that when it came to sell the bonds they would be illegal, for the reason that the warrants existing at the time were nearly A per cunt of the total value of the school district. Another elec tion was necessary to approve and vali date the warrants in question. Nothing was known about the last election at Top penlsh. July 19. a certificate was .ed with the County Treasurer, alleging that an elec tion had hoon held at Toppenlsh, July 15. and that the warrants were ratified and validated by a vote of 33 for and none against. The Investigation of the Prosecuting AXtornoy showed that Laldler had held the olection himself, without giving no tice to the public, and made tho returns July 19 to the County Treasurer, as re quired by law. The whole thing proved to have, been fraudulent,, and was done, it Is stated toy the Prosecuting Attorney, by Laldler to attempt -to cover up his Illegal dealings In the warrants to the district. It is said that he has issued something like 56000 wbrth of these warrants. On "the strength of the election, bids were submitted for the bonds of the district, but they have all since been withdrawn. ANXIOUS TO BEGIN ON DITCH Too Long Delay in Klnmath Would : Mean Loss of Money. ' KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. Sept 3. (Spe cial '"It has begn decided to start the wok on the first ten miles of the main canal for the irrigation of Klamath Basin In a -very short time," said Project Engi neer T. H Humphry, who has Just re turned from Portland, where he attended tho Irrigation Congress, "I-believe," continued Mr. Humphry, "that we are more anxious to start the work than 4 the people themselves are. The reason for this Is that we realize the seriousness of the situation better than they do. The money has been set aside by the Government for this work, but. as there are so many projects clam oring for money, tho Reclamation Service cannot afford to let this money remain idle "'much longer. Therefore we must start the work here at once or else allow the money to be used elsewhere." The first section of this canal will cover about 10.000 acres of very fertile land lying, south and east of Klamath Falls. E. R. Reams, who, it was alleged, was partially responsible for the delay In work by not signing up his large hold ings. It Is now stated, has promised to sign up. He Is now in Portland, however, and his absence is causing some delay, but it is given out by the Reclamation Service men here that as soon as he re turns and signs the excess trust deeds, bids will be advertised for to commence the work on this first ten miles of the canal. Secretary Elmer I. Applegate, of the Klamath Watorusers Association, stated today that over 20,000 acres of excess lands had been signed since last Monday morning. He also stated that at this rate, which he believed would be kept up, the 76 por cent of the entire excess hold ings on the lower project would do signed up within the next ten days. Then the Government can proceed with-active work on the lower project. ' HOP HARVEST BEGINS TODAY : Ttfckers In Tilnn County; to Receive ' . ' SI Per Hundred Pounds. ALBANY, Or.. Sept. 3, (Special.) Hoppicklng -will become general ln-Llnn County yards tomorrow. One small yard a couple at rniles from Albany began picking yesterday, and before evening merchants were cashing hop-checks, hut tho larger yards will all take up the work on Monday. For several days past wagon loads of people bound lor the hopyards have been passing through the streets of Albany, and hundreds of hopbaskets have ' been 'sold to .pickers, .by Albany merchants. The average -price -for picking hops this year "will be 51 per hundred pounds, which is about equivalent to, 30. cents per box. This ils thepricc-that. has .b4en-.paldf.for scvcfaV'ycars paUC - V While the hop crop is generally reported to he short, it Is pocslbly a little better than last year. "With an Increased acre age, this mean that a bigger crop will be handled in L4na County this year than last. Bankers were, busy yesterday pre paring money of the proper denomination to pay hopplckers. Many sacks of this ore sent out from the local banks during the hoppicklng season annually.. Perhaps more money Is scattered among the laboring people through the hop Industry than any other agricultural pursuit In the Willamette valley. FLYER RUNS INTO A WHARF Four Tugs Pull Her Oft and Only the Bow Is Injured. SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 3.-SpeclaL) The steamer Flyer, perhaps the best known water craft In North Pacific wa ters, and which has for the past 13 years made four round trips dally botween Se attle and Tacoma, while attempting to dock at trie completion of her third round trip of the day, ran Into the Commercial wharf. She cut through great timbers two feet thick, and rammed her bow into the wharf and street, piling a distance of 30 feet There were 200 passengers aboard and that no one was killed seems little short of a miracle. Captain E. B. Coffin, master of the vessel, ascribes the accident to a failure of her reversing gear to work. She was going at the rate of about four knots an hour. Many of the passengers aboard, as well as some of those ashore, say the Flyer was racing up the bay with the steamer Port Orchard, which was returning from the Puget Sound Navy yard. Four tugs pulled away at the Flyer for nearly five hours before they could ex tricate her. Only the vessel's bow was Injured. ES GHOULS TAKE PARTS OF SKELE TONS AND SILVER COIN. Grim Relics From Quinault Reser vation Said to Be Shown In Aberdeen Homes. ABERDEEN. Wash., Sept. 3. (Special.) Visitors returning from Mocllps report that the Indians on the Quinault reser vation are muoh Incensed o;er the per sistent robbery of the graves of tholr rel atives and friends. In the past year at' least a score or more graves have been despoiled of skeletons and valuables. In some cases only the skulls wore taken, and the articles burled with them, includ ing money. The Indians assert that In one grave 5300 in silver coin was taken by the ghouls. Tho Indians the past week took precau tions to preserve the remains of their kindred, and tho bodies of oight persons, all of one family, were taken up and re burled in a secret and much more secure place. Forty dollars in silver was takon out of the coflln of one person exhumed. The silver was nearly all dated 18S4. The statements of the members of the tribe are undoubtedly true, as at least a dozen Indian skulls may bo located in cer tain homes in Gray's Harbor. NORTHWEST DEAD. Captain Eric Johnson. ASTORIA.

TRY 10 CAUSE STAMPEDE Unusual Concern for Growers' Wel fare Expressed by Professional Short Sellers Circulars Flood the Country- GRANT'S PASS. Or.. Sept. 2. tTo the Edi tor.) The bears and abort tellers are becom ing desperate, but of all the ridiculous man euvers resorted to In order to mislead the grower this latest accusation of the shorts Is undoubtedly the most absurd. Net content with misrepresenting conditions to the grow ers through tho newspapers, they have re sorted to sending out anonymous circular?. The latest. August 31, signed, "A True Friend of the Growers." Of coume the growera are beginning to open their eyes and giving all suoh statements and advices the little cre dence they deserve. One point, however. Is certainly remarkable; that Is. bow many "tree friends" the growers' have when the short sellers and bears have orders to nil up. Only one thing tends to make the picture incomplete. The signature la missing. The growers note this ommUslon with, regret. Growers are somewhat Inclined te be suspi cious, consequently as the hopgrower and holder of 1904 hops have begged the authors of these circulars to do me the favor of sign ing their names and addrtcoes la their next circular, so I may be convinced of their sin cerity. These letters and circulars I notice are all Istued from Tacoma and Portland, and I mutt say are nothing but a bundle of contradictions and lies. Each In turn urges the grower to dispose of his hops at once. Each exagger ates the market and crop conditions to such an extraordinary extent that even Taooma's devoted bear editors hold their breath when asked to publish them. One of these bear circulars of recent date, efgned "An Eastern Brewer," however, let the cat out of the bag when he advised, the growers to make a point of setting each year during October or November. Of course, we understand the suggestion was prompted by a purely unselfish motive. I should like the growers to ask themselves the following questions: If, as bears pre dict, 1965 bops will not be worth 10 cents, then wby are the growers urged to contract l&Nis at 14 and 15 cents? Way do the bears and disinterested partita urge you to soli? Why should It concern thea 'whether you get 2 cent or 16? What do you suppose hops would.be worth If the growers made a point of setting during October aad November? Again. It there is no truth in Messrs. Smith and Durst'6 statements, why do not some of our "would-be friends" and advisers oome forward and ehow them up? Why do not the bears take up the Smith and Durst wager regarding the 1905 crop? Why do they send out anonymous circulars roastlag Durst, Krebs and Smith and The Oregonlaa contrib utors? They don't sign their names, for they do not dare. Again, if there was the least prospect of the "bumper" crops existing that la being dinned In our ears, what weuM be the present price of .bops? Of course, when the short Miters and the little bear Journals Jump on The Oregoalaa well. It Is amusing, to say the least. It re minds one forcibly of the fable of the mos quito and the elephant. Personally. I do not Name the bears so muoh for giving The Oregonlaa a dig when opportunity affords. That they have causo to la apparent to the. most casual observer. In the flm place. The Onrgonlan is one" of the very few papers thai publishes' the growers opinions as well as the bears', which Is an unpardonable offence In the estimation of the bears. In the second place, it reaches more farmers than any three of the Urgent publi cations on the Coaot. Consequently, one can readily understand why the bars feel sore and attempt to fling mud at The Oregoalan. The market has again asramed a firmer tone. Instead of declining, as the bears are fcboutlng. the market has advanced. I do not isee the least cause for apprehension or alarm regarding the 1905 bops, and eaaaot see why lOOfr should not command a better price than ever 1904s did. Time will tell, however, and I trust time will aim put an end to the spas modic affection and advice of ew "dear bear friends." Tours truly. MRS. JOHN RA'nZAU. ENGLISH EXP0BT8 AND IMPORTS. Comparison of Present Movement "With That of Last Year. The lateet mail advices from London say of the bop movement in Eaglaad: Again, the official returns mark a great falling off in the quantity of Imported hops. In June the figure was 1S21 cwt.. but last month It dwindled down to 522 cwt, of which America sent in only 43 cwt.. and other countries 479. Comparing- July. 1906, with the same month in the two previous years, we find that the most recent figure is a little more than one-sixth of that returned in 19d4. and less than one-tenth of the figure of 1903. Our total Imports for the first seven months of this year are 32.S6S cwt.. against 9S.7P0 cwt. In corresponding period of last year and 52.816 cwt in 1993. Turning to our expert'. I find that we shipped last month 608 cwt. of English and 207 cwt. of foreign hops, ro that our out goings exceeded our arrivals by 522 cwt. Fur ther examination of our foreign transactions for the seven months ending July 31 shows that in the current year we have exported 11,507 cwL, against 11,085 cwt. in 1604 and 7.S9S cwt- in 1903. the net additional supplies being for seven months in 1903. 45.31S cwt.; 1994. 67,745 cwt; and in 1905, 21.001 cwt. These figures prove that foreign reserves must be now reduced to the lowest possible point, and sug gest that whatever may be this season's yield of plantations abroad, the bulk will probably be required to meet the demands of local con rum era. The Borough is waiting farther develop ment. Trade Is quiet, but there are Indica tions in frequent inquiries that consumers are wanting hops. Of course, values of available stocks are being lowered by eome holder who are witling to abide by their past firm ness, and to refuse to accept the very low offers that are being made. In another week or two we shall be better Informed as to actual prospects; In the meantime, it is wise to abstain from too certain anticipations, and to be prepared for the Issue of event, what ever it may be. Thirty Thousand for New York State. SALEM. Or.. Sept. 3. Special.) George I Rose, a prominent hopgrower and dealer, to day received the following telegram from bis brother, Ray C Rose, a 'hopgrower at Cbop enstown, N. Y. : "Crop one-half abort. Weather conditions are unfavorable and mold and lice are In creasing. Many yards are badly damaged by rust and blight. Conservative estimates give New Tork Stats SO, POO bales. Offers 'of 20 cents a pound are being made." Coadltloas In New York. The New, Tork Journal of Commerce, in its issue of August SO said of hops: Mall advices received from up the. .state report that in some localities "hopyards have become very full of vermin and honey dew and in many places'' badly blighted. Crop of 1905 New Tork State must be of mixed qual ity and fall way below 1994 In quantity." Crop news from the Coast continued gener ally favorable, and crop prospects In England and on the Continent were far full yield. The local market was quiet and without changes; no additional tales were reported. Calif era la Reports Conflicting.

TO TAP THENEZ PERCES Northern Pacific Company Has the Choice of Four Hoads. TACOMA, "Wash., Sept. 3. Special.) Just what route will be decided upon by the Northern Pacific Hallway Com pany for Its proposed new line tapping the rich Nex Perces country, la Idaho, will bs decided within the next few days, according to officials of that road who are in a position to speak with authority, although It is not considered probable that the construction of the new line, which la to terminate at Grangevlllc, will be commenced before next Spring, owing to the lateness of the season and the arclty of labor. Engineers In the employ of the com pany have been busy nearly all Summer making surveys, four different routes having been gone over. In Northern Pacific official quarters it Is no longer denied that the road will be built. The plan of the company. It is under stood, is to use the men now engaged In the construction of the Rlparia branch to do the work on the G range vllle branch just as soon as the former line is completed. The report of the engineers who have beten at work la the Nez Perces country during the Summer will contain four routes for reaching Grangevlllc. One plan Is to build a line from Stites to Grangevllle. While the mileage would be much less than other routes sur veyed. It would require grades over which It would be Impossible to haul heavy loads. Still another plan, and what Is believed to be a more practical one. Is to build a line down from Peck, from which point the prairie country could be reached by a much more gradual de ration, although the distance Is consider ably greater. The two remaining propositions pro vide for lines which would have a much easier grade, but which would also be much greater In length. One of these would be a line from Culdesac. and the other a lino all the way out from Lewis ton, the latter along a route where the Northern Pacific already has right of way prlvlleges.

Sears, of Dallas; who were running lines on lands covered with Northern Pacific script In townships 11, 12, 13 and 14 south, range 4 east, arrived In Albany yesterday, driven from the mountains by the forest fires which are now raging up the north Santiam. Smoke from tho long-continued fires became so dense that the surveyors Instruments could not be used, and danger from the rapid spread of the flames became so great that the men were forced to give up the work and return to the valley. There were 19 men In the party. Xovel Sort of Justice. NEW WESTMINSTER. B. C. Sept. 3. (Special.) A peculiar kind of Justice has come to light In the ruling of the Chief Magistrate of Ladner. who yesterday fined a man S3 and costs for not proving a charge he had laid against a fisherman for stealing a fishnet from his boat. John Grdchjn. who laid the charge, was un able to get proof enough that Richard Harding had stolen the net. and received tho above fine, much to his surprise. The Magistrate explains his unprecedented ac tion by stating that of late he has had many groundless cases before him. and to prevent using the law as a tool, of re venge he imposed the nominal fine In this way.
