2G W. J.
Bryan describes Secretary Taft as
weak and Ineffectual In bis reform
policies, and President Roosevelt as
an easy victim of tbe railroads, wblcb
are seeking Federal protection from
the annoyances of the states. In a
Chautauqua address at Atlantic, la.,
Mr. Bryan charged tbe two Republi
can leaders with robbing tbo Demo
cratic nest of Its feathers. The ad
dress was a direct reply to the Co
lumbus speech of the Secretary of
AVar.
"Mr. Taft's speech," said Mr. Bry
an, "Is not likely to please any one.
He uses too much denunciation to
please tbo trust magnates, but, when
it comes to discussing remedies, he
is so weak and ineffectual as to dis
appoint reformers. Mr. Taft doe3
not go quite so far as the President.
"Where bo favors tariff reform he
qualifies It by postponing it."
Taft Weak on Railroads.
On the question of railroad regu
lation Mr. Bryan said:
"The present laws affecting rail
roads are not effective. Yet Mr. Taft
says nothing regarding the reduction
of rates. He regards the present
laws as effective except so far as they
would reduce the watering of stock.
Mr. Taft is more clear on the things
he opposes than regarding the things
he favors. Mr. Taft Is not strong on
either the trust question or the rail
road question. Like his position In
the matter of the tariff, his remedies
are so qualified as to give little hope
to the reformers. His discussion of
the trust question shows that ho has
no well-defined policy in mind."
Leaving Mr. Taft and turning his
guns on Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Bryan
said:
Grow Feathers for Roosevelt.
"An Eastern cartoon recently pic
tured me as a bird. It also pictured
President Roosevelt as a bird. The
cartoonist had the President sitting
ou the next while I was nearby, sit
ting on a limb of the tree. The fun
ny part of It was that tbo President
bad stolen all my feathers but one to
leather his nest and I seemed to be
wondering whether he was going to
take oven that one. If be doesn't, 1
suppose Governor Cummins will. But
I am ready to grow feathers if tbo
Republican party wants to use them."
Compares Himself to Joseph.
My. Bryan related the story of how
Joseph's brothers hated him so that
they drove him out of the country.
Afterwards, when the fainiuo came,
they bad 'to go to Egypt for corn.
There they found Joseph, lie had the
corn.
'"Well, in one respect, I'm like Jo
soph," said Bryan. "I've got the
corn."
lie also referred to the fact that
Senator Beverldce. Governor Cum
mins, Speaker Cannon and others had
called him a dreamer. He related
stories to show what dreamers had
accomplished and how they made
their dreams become realities, and
ended by saying that he pleaded
guilty to being a dreamer.
Dealing 'with the Provincetown
speech of the President, Mr. Bryan
declared National incorporation to bo
i..e biggest step toward centraliza
tion that has over yet been suggest
ed, and added that centralization of
power meant the doom of states'
rights in tho congestion of evils aris
ing from corporate greed.
"No threat of tho punishment of
the big offenders," said Mr. Bryan,
"can counterbalance tbo proposition
to deprive the states of their power
to regulate tho railroads and other
corporations doing business within
the state."
Protection of Railroads.
In next week's Commoner Mr. Bry
an will deal still moro specifically
with the proposal of the President
to extend tho Federal supervision
over interstate corporations. Mr.
Bryan quotes from tho Presidents
Provincetown speech tho section in
which ho advocates a National incor
poration law and supervision and
control similar to that now exercised
by tho Federal Government over tbe
National banks, and says:
"There Is the secret, It is out ui
last. Tho states are annoying the
corporations, and the corporations
demand Federal protection from the
State Legislatures. Tbo President
thinks action most pressing as re
gards those corporations which, be
cause they are common carriers, ex
ercise a 'quasi-public function.
"If it was the people be wished to
protect, ho would recommend tea
eral remedies that would not inter
fere with stato remedies. But the
railroads, not the public, demand the
removal of authority to Washington.
"Democrats can bo depended on to
oppose with all their might this
movement towards centralization.

OD, and, as is alleged, did not turn
or to tho state troasurv fl"rtn.r l.ie
term as secretary of stato. The com
plaint Is made by tho state of Oregon
on relation of J. K. Sears as a tax
payer In the stato. It is stated that
the amount of which tho state re
ceived no account was approximately
?G0,000, though there is no means of
knowing exactly, it is claimed that
tbe money was received in incorpora
tion luus, ices on trade-marks, no
tary publics' fees and from other
sources from which he received mo
ney as secretary of state. The
ilaintlff asks that the defendant, lm
required to pay the costs of tho suit,
besides rendering an account of the
money which it Is alloccd that hn re-
cleved. It Is stated that W. S. Mc
Fadden was requested to bring suit
against the defendant in his capacity
as prosecuting attorney, but that he
refused.
C. M. Idleman, formerly attorney-
general, to whom this report was re-
ierreu, said:
"This is the same matter which
was brought up by a suit filed
against Secretary of State Dunbar for
$j 00,000 for retaining such fees, and
which was thrown out of court. Tho
constitution of tho state fixes the
amount of salary which the secretary
of state should receive, but the legis
lature passed a bill allowing the re
taining of certain fees. In the form
er suit It was claimed that the legis
lature has no authority to grant such
privileges. This J. K. Sears Is, I be
lieve, the same man In whose name
tho former suit was filed.
"Anything tending to cast asper
sions upon Secretary Klncald is man
ifestly unfair to him, as he was act
ing under tho authority of legisla
tive action In retaining such fees."

FOOT WRIGGLER
Know Now AVhy Their Sheep and
Pigs Mysteriously Disappeared
Thought to Re a Python.
Adrian, N. D., Aug. 25. Farmers
living along tho James river in this
vicinity are much excited over the
discovery of an Immense snake In the
dense timber growth along tho river
and nro organizing an expedition to
hunt down and exterminate the rep
tile. Two farmers who last week were
wnilrinir through the high grass near
the edge of the woods south of here
saw what they thought was tne nmu
of a tree. They started to step over
it when It suddenly gave a hiss and
satrted to move rapidly away, crash
ing through the underbrush to the
tall timber. The farmers were much
frightened and did not attempt to
give chase to the reptile.
They say that tbe snako appeared
to bo twenty feet in length and as
big around as a good sized limb of a
tree Since then other farmers also
have seen the reptile, which seems
to stay close to tho wooded strip
.iinnir the river. The snake is sup
posed to be a South American py
Mmn. Last vear while a circus was
exhibiting at La Mouro it was re
ported that one of tho pythons es
caped from Its cage. The circus peo
ple, It is stated, searched for the rep
tllo and It was supposed that they
recaptured it. It is now believed
tnat they did not secure tho snake,
but allowed that impression to get
out so that tho people In the neigh
borhood might not become alarmed.
Tho presenco of the snako prob
ably accounts for tho mysterious dis
appearance of pigs and sheep which
havo been reported from time to time
by farmers living along tho river.

Kinney Sawmill on Pony Inlet
Sold to Wiggins, Whitney
& Waite.
EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS
Will Re Put in First-Class
Shape for Furnishing
Local Trade.
The Kinney saw mill on Pony In
let was sold yesterday to a company
composed of M. Wiggins, W. W.
Whitney and F. B. White. The two
former men are from Bloomingdale.
Michigan, and Mr. Wiggins is a
wealthy banker of that city. Tho
sale which was reported some time
ago as going to Mr. Waite, fell
through and was not completed. The
new management will make all the
necessary Improvements for putting
tne mill in first-class order for doing
a general retail business. All kinds
of lumber will bo turned out and
shingles and lath as well. The mill
is practically a new one, having been
operated but a short time since the
early months of spring. Major Kin
ney attempted to operate it several
times, but each attempt was a fail
ure, owing to lack of help, or short
age of logs or some other reason.
The deal Includes a total of thirteen
million feet of timber cut and stand
ing on the Kinney and Walto prop
erties, and there are two and a half
million ready to land at the mill.
The timber Included In the deal Is
considered by loggers as first-class
and the mill should enjoy a good pat
ronage. Improvements and new ar
rangements will be commenced this
morning and among the additions to
the machinery will be, a lath mill
and a bolter, a new engine and a
planer now on tho ground. Besides
these, there will be tracks laid for
conveyance of lumber, docks for pil
ing, a carrier for taking the slabs
and sawdust to the burners. The
mill was built to saw 50,000 feet of
lumber daily and when in good con
dition it should easily come up to
such a capacity. During Its spas
modic runs it demonstrated that
when In shape this amount qould be
cut, and so the purchasers will ex
pect to turn that amount out daily,
when the mill is ready for operation.
rue boarding bouse at tne mill is
now open and will accommodate tho
mlllmen who are without homes.
Tbe mill is about a milo and a quar
ter from North Bend and two miles
from Marshfleld. Pony Inlet is the
waterway from the sito to the bay
and It is expected that some day this
channel will be dredged to permit
largo barges to enter.
REBUILDS ELECTRIC

Tho Willamette Valley Company
turned on the electric current from
its new plant yesterday just 30 days
and two hours after tho old plant
was burned.
Fire caught at 12:40 p. m., July
21. The company promised to have
tho new plant running in 30 days.
The promise was redeemed lacking
only one hour and 20 minutes. Steam
was raised Tuesday and the engine
tested on the 29th day. ' It would be
well If all corporations could as
nearly keep their promises.
The new plant is larger than the
old one, This Is true both as to ma
chinery and building. Tho englno is
a new 325-horso power Russell,

WILL INVESTIGATE
CONCRETE FAILURES
Collapsing Com-! el u liiiildlngs Pre
sent Problem Which Inteiests
Government Exports.
Washington, Aug. 2G. Through
the Geological survey, the United
Stutes government Is making a
thorough Investigation into the col
lapses of re-lnforced concrete build
ings. Richard L. Humphrey, expert
in charge of the U. S. Geological
surveys structural material labora
torles In St. Louis and Norfolk, has
directed tho examination of concrete
buildings which have lately col
lapsed. Tests have been made pri
marily for the government, but the
results will be published for the
benefit of builders in general.
"The danger of careless concrete
construction," says Mr. Humphrey,
"confronts nearly every city of the
country and It is a miracle to me
that more concrete buildings have
not collapsed. In order to meet this
problem squarely every city In the
United States should revise Its
building laws In such a manner that
either owner or contractor of a con
crete building shall be compelled to
employ a competent inspector to fol
low every detail of construction."
Great loss of life and property
through collapses of concrete build
ings In the last year or two, In
spired the government to make an
investigation of the causes. By
spreading correct information as to
the risks Involved In concrete con
struction the experts hope to avert
further calamities. This is in lino
with tho campaign of education al
ready begun by the International
society of state and .municipal build
ing commissioners.
Mr. Humphrey has examined care
fuly nearly every one of the build
ings that have collapsed In the last
year. He found evidence not only
of carelessness but of Ignorance.
"The science of concrete construc
tion Is not yet thoroughly settled
and until It Is tho greatest care
should be taken In the use of ma
terials," ho says.
MOROCCO HAS NEW
THRONE CLAIMANT
Fierce Struggle Expected to Result
From Mo u ley Hail, Claim
ing the Place.
Tangier, Aug. 2G. A fierce strug
gle for the Moroccan throne Is ex
pected here as a result of Mouloy
flafiz proclaiming himself sultan in
Morocco City a week ago, according
to advices brought here today. He
was hailed as leader by his follow
ers. The tribes of southern . Morocco
are rallying to the standard of Mou-
ley Hafiz and It is expected Abdul
Aziz, the present sultan, will havo a
hard fight to hold his throne against
his determined relative in view of tho
support sure to be given the pre
tender by the dissatisfied tribesmen
of the 'south.
Tho proclaiming of Mouley Hnfiz
as sultan was accomplished with
great ceremony, today's advlcea state.
A salute of four guns" marked his
assumption of the throne, there was
a notable review of his army. Chief
tains of half a dozen of the fiercest
and mo3t warlike tribes immediately
paid their homage to their new sul
tan and promised their aid lu ousting
Abdul Aziz.
Mouley Hafiz Immediately formed
a court and announced Jabbao Cu
resk, pasha of Kasbah, as his vizier.
Ho announced his intention of nam
ing his brother, Mohammed, as kolief
or Fez. Mouley Hafiz Is supposed to
be now on his way with a strong,
well-armed force to take command
of the Moors besieging Casa Blanca.
A fierco attack on tho European
armies there is cxpecteu on his ar
rival. An attack on Casa Blanca
may prove more than the French and
Spanish forces can meet.

A
Heavy Storm In Umatilla
County Damages Farm
ers' Grain.
DAMAGE UP IN THOUSANDS
Water Works at Athena Carried
, Away by Cloudburst Ten
Minutes Duration.
Pendleton, Or., Aug. 2G. Prob
ably the hardest hall storm that ever
occurred In Oregon and also a cloud
burst visited two different sections of
Umatilla county almost simultan
eously this afternoon, causing many
thousands of dollars' damage. Hun
dreds of acres of the Hnest wheat
was beaten Into the ground by the
hail until It Is Impossible to tell what
part of the field has been threshed
and which has not. while the cloud
burst washed away bridges, chicken
houses, woodsheds, farm machinery.
chickens, pigs, at least one cow, and
aesiroyea many acres of alfalfa hay.
The hall storm struck tho wheat
belt at the Umatilla river near Thorn
Hollow, about 15 miles east of Pen
dleton, and swept northward across
the county between Athena and Wes
ton for a distance of ten miles or
more. The path of the storm was
only about three-quarters of a mile
wide, but the entire strip of country
was covered with hall to a depth of
from three to four Inches, and com
pletely devastated. Some of the hall
stones were two Inches long and the
orchards that lay In tho path of the
storm were stripped of their fruit
and leaves.
All Done in Ten Minutes.
Coming on suddenly tho hail
caught tho harvest crews in fields,
and there was not time to unhitch
the teams from tho combines and
headers. Two disastrous" runaways
resulted, but no loss of life has so
far been reported.
Though the damage done was so
complete and extensive tho hall all
fell In about 10' minutes of time.
This was followed by a terrific down
pour of rain and dry gulches were
turned into raging torrents In tho
space of a few minutes. Farms were
flooded and at least one family was
compelled to abandon its homo and
fleo to tho hills.
The dam forming the reservoir for
the Athena watet works went out,
and the town Is threatened with a
water famine. While tho damage
amounts welNup into tho thousands
It is impossible to form anything
near like an accurate estimate. Rep
resentative Barrett, telephoning
from Athena tonight, says it is un
doubtedly tho worst storm of Its kind
in the history ot tbo county.
Heavy Damage to Hay Fields.
Tho cloudburst occurred on the
head of West Birch crqek several
miles south of Pilot Rock and the
little valley of that stream was com
pletely Hooded. Tho water run
through dwellings, washed away all
small outhouses and drowned all the
chickens, but tho, greatest damage
was to tbo present crop of alfalfa.
The heaviest' losors are probably tho
J. E. Smith Livestock Company and
tho Cunningham Sheep & Livestock
Company, tbo latter having between
50 and 100 acres of alfalfa ruined,
i no flood reached Pilot Rock, but be
yond the washing out of a county
brldgo and a footbridge, no damage
was aono at that point. Several
bridges further up tho stream were
washed away.
Rain fell In this city and, as far as
can bo learned, throughout tho coun
ty, nearly all tho afternoon, bringing
all harvesting operations to a stand
still and greatly damaging tho stand
ing wheat. It Is thought that only
little moro thnn half the crop has
been harvested. Fortunately for tbo
Athena farmers, whose ranches were
in tho path of tho hailstorm, they bad
nearly finished threshing, but up
along tho river, where It first started
and where It was tho worst, tbo work
of harvesting bad just begun.
Continued Rain Means Ilarm.
It Is still cloudy and threatening
late tonight and it is feared thnt
moro rain .will fall. Tho grain has
already had all tho rain It will stand,
and every drop that falls from now
on will do damage.
With wheat at 70 cents, tho farm
ers havo boon unloading their crops
in largo quantities , during tho last
two days, and it is estimated that 1,
000,000 bushels havo changed hands
in that time In this county alone. A
few growers aro still holding for 75
cents, but tho majority havo signi
fied a willingness to lot their grain
go at present prices.

has, as tho result of a now ruling of
the Jesuit order, become superior of
an enlarged district, comprising
California, Oregon, Washington,

to California to familiarize himself
with conditions and upon his return
he will make a tour of the other
states. w.ijrt
Father de la Motte Is a native of
France and has been superior of tho
Rocky Mountain mission. He 13 re
cognized as one of the foremost
theologians In America since his ap
pearance as defendant In the deputa
tions of Woodstock In 1889, when
ho defended the Catholic theology
against many. He attended as a
delegate the last general meeting of
the Jesuit order in Rome, where tho
unification of the missions was
brought about, giving the ' new gen
eral full authority In tbo manage
ment of the religious and education
al institutions. Previous to tho
change the Rocky Mountain and
California missions were part of an
Italian prevlnce, while tho states of
North and South Dakota were parts
of the German mission.
The new mission numbers 400
Jesuits and will become ono of the
largest In the United States. Thero
are now four colleges, of which Gon
zaga Is one, and a number of flour
ishing parishes and Indian missions.
The other colleges are at Seattle, St.

The New York Times of tho ISth
says:
"The experiments at the Sandy

tho high explosive invented by Ma
jor Dunn, of tho ordanaco corps, U.
S. A., havo proved that tho United
States possesses In Dunnlto the se
cret of an explosive perhaps more
powerful and destructive than any
other oxploslvo ever invented.
"Dunnite, army officers say, is
moro powerful than Shlmose, with
which tho Japanese did such
torrillc execution In tho naval bat
tles off Port Arthur and Vladivos
tok and In tho Sea of Japan, Shl
moso ordnance oitlcers say the ex
plosive is a compound of picric acid,
the secret of which Is known to tho
ordnance ofllcors of all the first
class powers. On the other hand the
cecret of Dunnlte Is in tho oxcluslvo
possession of tho United States gov
ernment. "In tho recent tests of Dunnlto
at Sandy Hook it Is said that tho
very best flvo and six-Inch armor
plates that could be secured were
used as targets. Tho result of every
shot was the same. Tho armor
plato was smashed Into thousauds
of small pieces, it is said, by their
Impact. Tho impact of the Dunnlto
is also all that is necessary to ac
complish tho destruction of the tar
get. Penetration Is not necessary,
tbo lmpaat being such that the armor
Is shattered into countless pleco3.
