An explosion of a hundred pounds of Riant powder at Fishers quarry, 12 miles east of here shortly sftcr o o'clock tonisht. jarred windows in this city and caused people to be lieve the shock was that of an earth quake. Telephone messages from the quarry state that workmen wpre thawing the powder before a fire, from which it is believed a spark was blown by the wind, thus igniting the explosive.

SHOCK IS FELT IX PORTLAND Ttcsidents ot the Peninsula Think There Is an Earthquake. The shock of the explosion at Fishers Landing, a point- on the Co lumbia Jtiver 12 miles east of Van couver, Wash., was plainly felt by the residents of Piedmont, Fortmouth. University Park. North Albina nd other places on the peninsula. and many believed Portland was visited by an earthquake. The tremor was severe enough to jar windows, rattle crockery and caused buildings to tremble on their foundations. However, the tremol did not last Ions and the occupants o" houses wherein it was felt com menced making inquiries as to the cause of the disturbance. Fngineer Moss, who is in charee of the construction work on the Wllkim etto River bridge of the Portland & Seattle Railway, said that he heard the report and felt the shock of an ex plosion about 8:13 o'clock, but was un able definitely to fix the dire-tion from which the report came.

DEAD OF THE NORTHWEST Alexander Scavey, Lane County Pi oneer. Ends Well-Filled Life. KL'OENK, Or., Feb. 1. (Special.) Alexander Scavey. a pioneer of La no County, and widely known as a stock raiser and farmer, died here last even ing after an illness of a few weeks. He was S3 years old. Few men, even among the Oregon pio neers, have known such experiences as Mr. Scavey. He was born April 1, IS'24, at Rockland, Me., on the shore of Pe nobscot Bay. As a boy he enjoyed the adventures afforded by the fishing boats of his nntive town, but as he grew older he longed for wider experiences, and at the iise of 25 he embarked on. the sail ing !ilp Challenge bound for the West Indies, hut the Challenge soon ended its career far off the coast of Brazil, where It burned. leaving the crew to escape in boats. Alter three days on the open sea, the mariners found land and remained in Brazil for several months. From Brazil, Mr. Scavey took passage on the Oughtertyre, which sailed from Aberdeen, Scotland, bound for San Fran cisco around the Horn. The vessel had just been visited by a siege of yellow fever, from which every member of the crew hut Captain Cook had died, but after the perilous trip around the Horn, which took 173 days, the Oughtertyre ar rived on the coast of California, and Mr. Seavey went at once to the Trinidad mines, where he purchased some mules and organized a -pack train. . A little later, Mr. Seavey established a store on Althouse Creek, Josephine Coun ty, which he continued successively for five years, selling out and coming to the Rogue Kivrr country with a mining ex pedition. In ls"5. he came to l.ane County and took up 160 acres of land in the hills lying three miles to the north of Spring field, and there engaged in stock raising on a large scale, starting with WO head of cows and calves. He prospered in this business and from its earnings purchased in 1SS3 over 10(10 acres of land, starting in that year the famous Seavey hopyard, which is well known all over the North west country. It includes 100 acres of splendid hop land and a small army of Tickers are employed there every year. Here Mr. Seavey spent most of his time, coming in to Eugene to stay with his children here during his last illness. Through his marriage with Sarah A. Blachley, the following children were, born to Mr. Seavey: William C, Thomas E., J. W.. J. H.. and J. A., all farmers of Lane. County; Anna," now wife of E. T.

DECIDES AGAINST DUNBAR Ex-Seii-oIary Had No Right to Ke- lain Fees. Says Court. PALF.M. Or.. Feb. l-(Speclal.)-Judge William Galloway today handed down a decision In the Sears-Dunbar case hold ing that the Secretary of State was not entitled to retain any fees in excess of his constitutional salary. The decision is based upon section t of article 13, which definitely fixes the Secretary's salary and expressly declares that he shall re ceive no fees or perquisites whatever for the performance of any duties connected with his office. Judge Galloway calls at tention to section 10 of article 2, which prohibits any person from holding more than one lucrative office at the same time. These two sections, taken together preclude the collection of extra compen sation. This suit was 'originally brought by J. K. Sears to compel ex-Secretary of State Dunbar to, Account for fees collected by him and alleged to amount to $100,000. It was held that Sears could not bring the suit, and District Attorney McNary then appeared on behalf of the state. The defense then appealed to the Su preme Court from tho order allowing the change in plaintiffs, but the Supreme Court held that this was not an appeal able order. Defendant Dunbar then filed a demurrer and motion to strike out part of the- complaint, and it was upon these that Judge Galloway rendered his de cision today . STiEflTS EXPOSE SEER I CLAIRVOYANT'S FINE WORK PROVES A FAKE. 'Professor'' Chesterfield Conies to Grief When He Undertakes to Read College Boy's Flit lire. EUGBXE. Or., Feb. 1. (Special.) Through- a clever scheme worked by sev eral university students this evening Professor Chesterfield, clairvoyant, was exposed as an alleged fake. Many peo ple have been ratronizing the learned seer since his arrival in this city and he has been doing a land-office business. One student in the universi'. who has had some previous experience with clair voyants, after being given a reading by Chesterfield, "announced to several others that he was a fake, and immediately a plan to expose him was formed. Chesterfield's method of procedure In his art is to have his confiding subject write out his name, age and date of birth on a paper. Tho professor then pretends to burn this paper. But in reality has done some sleight-of-hand work and has burned another paper. Then, by learn ing the victim's age, nr.me, etc., from the paper whereon the subject has writ ten it, and which paper "wise man' has transferred to his left hand and holds on his knee, the oracle is able to answer many astonishing questions. The student detective signed a bogus name on the professor s paper and during the trance was told that the bogus name was his name. Then the student dis guised himself and appeared for another reading. When Chesterfield performed his magic lire stunt the student grabbed the paper from the fire and found out, as he had supposed, that it was a blank. He then seized the clairvoyant's left wrist, and with the aid of the two other students implicated in the exposure scheme, who were in the next room, the paper with the writing was forcibly se cured. The man of mystery was much chagrined at being exposed, and tried to have the Incident hushed up. MOB FIGHTS FOB BREAD UNEMPLOYED IN NEW -YORK TOWNS ARE LAWLESS. Police Force Strengthened to Cope With Outbreaks Free Soup House to 3e Opened. BUFFALO, Feb. 1. The police force at' West Seneca has been trebled to cope with the possibility of an outbreak of lawlessness among the hundreds of idle and hungry foreigners formerly employed in the steel mills. A bread riot occurred last night. A grocer announced that he would give 400 loaves of bread to the poor, and a large crowd gathered. The loaves did not come fast enough, and in the struggle that ensued the bread was shredded to crumbs. A free soup house was opened today. DOLL USED TO AID THIEF Shoplifter Poses as Young Mother lo Avoid Suspicion. PARIS, Jan. 25. (Special.) A queer story is related about a trick that has been practiced in one fof the big shops by a young woman, simply attired, who excited the sympathy of kind-hearted people, as she threaded her way from one stall to another with a baby" in her arms. Everybody made room for the young mother and her infant, whose quiet behavior was also noticed. But some of the vendors had cause after a while to take quite a different sort of interest in this pale and ladylike female. She was inspecting some articles when she deftly slipped one among the long clothes of the child she. was carrying. The explanation that she was only steadying the -baby and was on the point of replacing the object in question was charitably accepted, and soon afterwards she left the house. One of the men whdse business it ip to keep careful watch on visitors to the large shop had enter tained a suspicion that the exemplary conduct of the infant was not altogether natural, and as he . had remarked the trifling accident which had attracted the attention of the sellers, he decided on following the mother and her child after they had emerged into the street. The woman walked slowly along until she reached a cafe, which she entered, and soon was seated at a table by the side of a couple who had left this par ticular emporium a little time before her. The inspector took up his position at a neighboring table, and listened atten tively to the conversation. There was nothing in the talk of the trio to lead him to suppose that anything had been stolen, but great was his bewilderment when the young mother, thinking she was not observed, rearranged her In fant's clothes, revealing to view a long, narow box, which she opened for a mo ment, showing that it was empty. Very keen scrutiny of the baby's face, which had been enveloped in a dainty lace veil, also convinced the Inspector that it was the face of a doll, and not a child. The inference was clear enough. The baby, such as it proved to be, was car ried about to excite sympathy and to avoid suspicion, while it also came In handy for the surreptitious slipping of goods among its clothes, pending their insertion into the box which did duty for its body. As nothing had been stolen on this occasion, the inspector did not arrest the woman. Cheap Fare in North Carolina. RALEIGH. X. C, Feb. 1. The Senate today agreed to the House bill providing for a 2Vi-ccnt passenger fare. The world's eoeoa crop in HtOtf was about 1.-.1.IXIO metric tons. Of this quantity. Ger many got over 35,000 tons. WHEAT FARMERS ML SAVE Walla Walla Growers Contract to Buy Grain Sacks at Wholesale Prices. PORTLAND FIRM GETS BID Farmers' Co-operative Vnion Com pletes Successful Business Deal. Itesult Expected to Create Re newed Interest in Union. WALLA WALLA. Wash., Feb. 1. (Special.) The farmers of the Wa.lla Walla Valley are tonight ia high spir its over the termination ot their nego tiations with the dealers in grain sacks for their 190S supply. At a meeting of the Farmers' Co-operative and Educational Union, in this city to day, contracts were signed by a large number of farmers for a total of 1.398.356 Calcutta grain-sacks at a price of 7 cents each, delivered at any railroad station in Walla Walla County. This is 3 cents less than the prevailing price of the same sacks last yean, and 1 cents less than the price of the product of the jute mill at the State Penitentiary last year. A number of bidders were present at today's meeting, and filed sealed bids with the secretary after it was known how many sacks were wanted. The bid of J. Z. Smith, representing Kerr. Gifford & Co.. was found to be the lowest, and arrangements were made for the payment and delivery. One tenth of the purchase price is to bo paid down and the balance upon deliv ery of the sacks, between June 15 and August 1. . The number of sacks contracted for today represents- a total expenditure on the part of the farmers of $103,129.71. and the cash payment today will represent J10.312.97. This is the first time for a number of years that the farmers have been able to secure their sacks at such a low price, and their success will no doubt stimu late the interest and membership in the Co-operative and IJducational Union throughout the grain-growing section of the Northwest. Owing to' the fact that only a small part of the output of the penitentiary jute mill is assigned for sale in each county, the result of today's meetjng means a saving of nearly $50,000 to the farmers of the Walla Walla Valley. It Is estimated that it will require nearly 3.000.000 sacks to care for the grain this year, in the event of an average crop. Allen and Gwynn at Pacific. FOREST GROVE. Or , . Feb. 1.

SNOW IN KLAMATH COUNTY Mercury Stands at 20, and Icemen Begin Winter Harvest. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Feb. 1. (Spe cial.)

The cold wave struck Thursday, and although no very low temperature has been reached, the ice men have al ready begun to harvest, with a thickness of only about four inches.

SKATE ON THIN ICE; DROWN Two Tacoma Boys .Fall Through While Playing "Shinny." TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 1. (Special.) William Malin, aged 9 years, and Al fred Craig, aged 14, were drowned in Snake Lake, while playing on the Ice this morning. The two boys, with a number of others, were playing "shin ny," using an empty can for a ball. The can was knocked to the center of the lake on some thin ice and both boys started for it. They reached the spot together and the ice broke under them. Craig was able to swim and stopped to aid his companion. He made the start for shore through the ice. when the Malin boy became frantic and grabbed Craig about tho arms. The boys struggled a few minutes then sank. Heavy Snow in Cascades. ALBANY, Or., Feb. 1. (Speeial.The heaviest snowfall- of the season is re ported in the mountains and foothills in this part of the state.

Washington Republicans Fear In dorsement of TaTt Will Injure A.-Y.-P. F.xposition. OLYMPIA. Wash., Feb. 1. (Special.) That National politics is playing an im portant part in the delay in the Senate on the Alaska-Pacilic-Yukon Exposition bill is the belief of some of the state officers. It is now a known fact that the time of the meeting of the Republican State Cen tral Committee has been put off till later than usual because of the effect its pro ceedings mignt have on the fate of the Exposition measure in Congress. For the same reason the idea of the central committeemen Is that the state convention should not be held until as near as the required 30 days' of the 'Na tional Convention as possible. . It is claimed here hat an indorsement of Taft as the Republican Presidential candidate by the central committee is in evitable, and that an instruction of dele gates for him by the state convention is almost as certain. The fear that such indorsement and instruction might cause friends in Con gress of other candidates to get even with the state by trying to defeat the Exposition appropriation caused men closely identified with the Exposition to urge the chairman, Ellis de Bruler, to put off the meeting of the central com mittee until some time In March. The reason announced was that it was deemed wise to have the Seattle and Ta coma municipal elections out of the way before the central committee met. The potent reason, however, it is now known, was the Taft question. PRESCOTT OREGON'S ORATOR Will Represent State University In Intercollegiate Contest. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Feb. 1.
