Heppner Gazette HEPPNER OREGON RESUME OF THE WEEK'S DOINGS General Review of Important Hap penings Presented in a Brief and Comprehensive Manner for Busy Readers National, Political, His torical and Commercial. Cholera in Manila has dwindled down to proportions of little importance. The Cleveland, Ohio, street railway company will sell seven tickets for 25 cents. There is still much unrest in Portu gal. During a recent review of troops by the boy king his life was saved only by the merest chance. Frank Pinkham, a trusted employe of the Tacoma Mill company, of San Francisco, has disappeared with $30, 000 of the company's money. Two suit against Thaw for money have been stopped because the law re strains proceedings until 12 months after an application in bankruptcy. A plot has been discovered by which revolutionists intended to kill a num ber of high officials during the stay of the American fleet in Chinese waters. A bomb thrown in the heart of Chi cago's downtown district practically destroyed one building. The police are unable to give any reason for the out rage and have made no arrests. Over 1,000 cases of socalled egg yolk have been thrown into the ocean at New York. The stuff was imported from China and was used in place of eeres, but could not pass pure iooa in spection. Senator La Follette says the senate is going to be cleaned. The fate of the Balkan conference depends on Germany's consent. Two Mexican rebels have ban found guilty of fomenting a revolt on American soil. A premature explosion of dynamite at Douglas, Ariz., killed two men and injured eight others. Great Northern -earnings for the last fiscal year show a decrease of $1,838,000 compared with the previous year. A German military balloon ex ploded a mile in the air. The occu pants fell in a tree and were unin jured. Experts who have been going over the books of San Francisco have found a shortage of $60,000 in the city treasury. Senator Elkins says he knows noth ing about the marriage of his daugh ter to the Duke of Abruzzi and con siders the naval escort a good joke. During the reception of the Amer ican fleet at Yokohama all the Amer ican admirals were carried around the deck of their vessels on the shoulders of Japanese admirals and captains. Deaths in Luzon from the storm will reach 500. OBJECTS TO ANNEXATION. Russia Fears Austria Would Want More Territory. St. Petersburg, Oct. 27. No an nouncement was made today by the foreign office as to the progress of the negotiations at Berlin between M. Is wolsky, the Russian foreign minister, and Prince von Buelow, the German chancellor. The conference, so far as can be learned, has scored no definite results, and will be continued. Advices from Berlin, however, have in no wise lessened the confidence here that the proposed international con gress will ultimately be accepted by Germanv. although negotiations are apt to be continued for some time after the return of M. Iswolsky. The invitation to take part in the congress therefore, will be correspondingly de layed. M. Iswolsky, interviewed by the Novoe Vremya's Berlin correspondent today, declared that Austria's action was a blow at vital Slav interests and that the indignation of the Russian press and public could easily be under stood, but he asked the public to sus pend judgment with regard to his ac tivity in this connection until his re turn to Russia, when he hoped with the emperor's permission to make a statement before the douma. It is re ported that the Octoberists in the dou ma have decided to support the foreign minister, but President Khomykoff in an interview said that Russia sholud refuse to recongize the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was a mere prelude to further aggressions on the part of Austria-Hungary. NEWS NOTES GATHERED FROM VARIOUS PARTS OF OREGON SCAB NOT FUNGUS GROWTH. MAY MAR RECEPTION. to a depth of 15 Snow lias drifted feet in Montana. An epidemic of typhoid fever pre vails at Montreal, Quebec. A bogus German baron has been vic timizing San Francisco people. One death Las been reported from Montana, following the severe blizzard. Reno gamblers are putting up a hard fight to prevent being driven from the city. Lieutenant Jeppson, who has been King Edward's messenger since 1901, is dead. John W. Kern, Jr., son of the Demo cratic vice-presidential candidate, is ' seriously ill. A New York thief, after robbing a jewelry store of valuable diamonds, es caped in an auto. The greatest celebration in the his torv of Japan is being given in honor of the American fleet. Diamonds equal to those of South Africa are said to have teen found in Death valley, Arizona. One hundred and fourteen thousand applications were received for the COO0 farms in the Kosebud, S. D., reservation just thrown open. Women suffragists will meet at Se attle in 1'JO'J. Chinese in Canada are raising a relief fund to send to China to help the starv ing. French troops have had another en gagement with Moors. The latter were defeated. Immense crowds attended the funeral service of Bishop Potter. The services were ery simple. By the bursting of a steampipe four men were coota d to death on a steam barge on Lake Michigan. Chinese have started a boycott on tin Hamburg-American steamship line, and refuse to cither ship by this line or ride on its vessels. Authorities Fear Trouble at Amoy When Fleet Arrives. Amoy, China, Oct. 27. Discovery of a revolutionist plot is causing great uneasiness to Chinese government offi cials. Fears are entertained that the rami fications of this plot may be far reach ing. The object of the rebels, it is said, was to assassinate high Chinese officials during the festivities of the forthcoming reception to the American fleet, the conspirators hoping that the officials would appear in public in a body on that occasion. Extraordinary precautions are being taken and will be extended during the stay of the fleet here, and particularly during the functions. Viceroy Song, of Fukien province, who arrived here yesterday on the cruiser Hai Yung, spent the night aboard the ship. Order and perfect system are being rapidly established at the reception grounds where the recent typhoon wrought destruction. Bamboo struc tures have replaced the ruined build ings, and the original plans for the entertainment of the officers and men of the American fleet are likely to be, carried out in full. It had been in tended to install a wireless telegraph system, but this probably will not be done, as there is no expert here to carry out the work. SEVEN CHOLERA CASES. Disesse Makes Fresh Start Among Natives in Manila. Manila, Oct. 27. Seven new cases of cholera were reported in this city for the day ending Sunday night. The slight increase in the spread of the disease is ascribed by the authori ties to the many gatherings of the peo ple on Saturday night and Sunday, and the feasts that accompanied the assem blies. The situation is not considered to be grave, as the health department feels that it has the epidemic well un der control, expressing no alarm over the increase. It is probable that the government will further restrict the gatherings of the natives, and also the sale of dan gerous loods. it is believed that the cockpits located in the suburbs of the city, where it is difficult to maintain a strict watch over the sale of foodstuffs, are responsible for the slight increase in the number of cholera cases noted at each week-end. Agricultural College Professor Gives Opinion on Prunes. Salem That scab on prunes, which is very prevalent this year, is not a fungus disease, but is caused by ad verse weather conditions, is the opin ion given by Professor Cordley, of the Oregon Agricultural college, in answer to an inquiry from James Winstanley, of this city. It follows, therefore, that scab cannot be prevented by spraying. Professor Cordley's letter follows : "Careful examination of the accom panying prunes shows that the scab upon them is not a fungus disease. In other words, it is not the true prune or plum scab. I have observed this trou ble to a greater or less extent in other seasons, and have never been able to find any fungus or bacterial organism in connection with it. From what data 1 have been able to cclL-ct regarding the prevalence of this trouble and associating it with the various seasons, I have arrived at the conclusion that it is caused almost exclusively Ly freezing or cold weather, at least at the time of blossoming or shortly af terwards. In other words, the trouble seems to be most prevalent in seasons following freezing weather at blossom ing time. A. B. CORDLEY." Build Sample Good Road Hood River To build a sample sec tion of good road at Hood River a sub scription is being taken and is meeting with popular approval. The road will be built from the city out the west side of the valley for four miles, and it is expected to commence work on it shortly. The worst piece of highway at Hood River has been selected for the experiment, and its construction is expected to stimulate the good roads movement here and serve as a starter for other sections of the valley. No Empty Houses in Roseburg. Roseburg The shortage of suitable house 3 for renting has been seriously felt in Roseburg. During the past summer no less than 100 residences have been built, but the demand has been so great that the additional ones built have made no perceptible lessen ing of it. Several intended residents of Roseburg have been forced to go elsewhere, for no other reason than that they could not secure suitable quarters in this city in which to live. Find Gold on Burnt River. Sumpter Considerable excitement was created here by the discovery of a free gold lec'ge in the Burnt River country by William Robinson and his partner. This find has been made in a territory practically unknown hereto fore as gold bearing, and has awak ened much interest in consequence. The scene of the recent strike is Bull Run mountain, a locality devoted to cattle and sheep grazing and lying in the watershed of Burnt River. GRFAT FRUIT STATE. Police Save Many Lives. San Francisco, Oct." 27. Prompt ac tion by members of the police force was all that saved a dozen or more women from probable death in a fire which damaged the Guiseppi hotel-here today. The flames are thought to have started in the overturning of a candle, and they quickly spread through the frame structure, several people being overcome before they could leave their rooms. Patrolmen plunged into the smoky corridors carrying out nearly a score of persons who might other wise have perished. Tells of Wheat at 28 Cents. Pendleton "Fourteen years ago I was paying 28 cents a bushel for wheat. Now I am paying 78 to 81 cents. Then it was hard to get money to pay the s nail price, and now it is hard to get wheat at the high price," said W. S. Byers, for 40 years in the milling business here. At times Mr. Byers has 1,000,000 bushels of grain stored at his big mill, which he has operated continuously all the years he ha3 been in Umatilla county. Easterners Begin to Realize Possibil liies of Oregon. Portland That Oregon is the com ing fruit district of the country is re cognized in the current issue of a na tional fruit magazine, The Fruit Grower, published mTSt. Joseph. Mo, The publication devotes more than half its issue to describing the fruit coun try tributary to Portland and has some excellent photographs of Hood River, Rogue River and other orchards. Another important bit of advertising the state will have is an article on Oregon to appear in Harper's Weekly in December. J. K. Mumford was in Portland recently looking over the city and getting data on the resources and attractions of the state, which he will embody in this article. Requests Delegate of Portland. PortlandPortland is one of the 32 cities in the United States that have been asked to send a delegate to a pre liminary conference of the Merchant's association of the city of New York to discuss reforms in the currency system and the advisability of holding a na tional convention to discuss currency reform. The preliminary conference is to be held in New York City November 18, and will decide as to the advisabil ity of holding the convention and, in case it is found advisable, to decide the question of place, date and pro gram. Out of 777 replies that were received in answer to Merchants' asso ciation's lstters 732 advocated the holding of a conference and 45 prefer red the consideration of currency re form through commission. Butter Creek Ranch Sold. Pendleton By the sale of the Sloan ranch, on Upper Butter creek, for $30, 000, was consummated one of the larg est transfers of real estate in this vi cinity recently. The ranch comprises about 1,400 acres, of which 1,200 acres are tillable and the rest pasture. Of the part that is in cultivation, 1,000 acres are suitable for wheatraising, while 200 acres are seeded to alfalfa. Frank and Claud Sloan were the former owners, and they have sold to Ephraim L. Smith, of Echo. Lumber Company Complains. Salem Falls City Lumber company is protesting because of alleged exces sive rates imposed by the Salem, Falls City & Western railroad on the short haul of 10 miles between Falls City and Dallas. Niret cents per 1,000 cubic feet of lumber, or about $35 a car, is the rate which is protested by the lumber company. The latter wishes established a weight rate of 2M cents per 100 pounds, which would make an average charge of $19 a car. Oil Strike Reported. Tillamook An oil strike is reported at Long prairie, six miles south of that city, on the holdings of the Portland Coal & Development company. The company began sinking the present well three years ago, and has been working continuously. It has options on about 500 acres of land. The well is 1,900 feet down. MINING CONGRESS CALLED.

ENORMOUS LOSS IN COAL. Big Sheep Shipment. North Powder One of the largest sheep firms in Oregon, that of Lee Bros., shipped 20 carloads of sheep from Baker City to Chicago. E. Lind ley, a young sheepman, and P. L. Smith, of the North Powder M. & M. Co., both of North Powder, accompan ied Dave Lee, the junior partner, in charge of the shipment. Plowing at Monroe. Monroe The recent wet snell has set things to moving amongst the val ley farmer?. The plough is at work, grass has started and altoge ther new life has been put into all farm opera tions.

The shutting down of 500 mills as the result ouf the cotton trade lock out has reduced the consumption of engine coal by 700,000 tons per week. Calculated at $2 per ton, this represents a loss of trade amounting to $1,500,000 a week. Oldham, the center of the spinning industry, is the first of the cotton towns to feel the pinch of the lockout. Of the 320 mills in the town only 20 are now working. It is not the opera tives who have their lock out pay from their unions to fall back on who are beginning to feel the pressure of the industrial warfare, but the shopkeep ers, particularly at the small shops, who. depended on the custom of the mill girls. No one has the heart to buy anything short of actual necessities. Ho new dresses are being made in Oldham just now, ana dressmakers are reducing the number of their workroom hands, and the milliners' shops, of which the fe mals cotton operative was the generous patron, are deserted. The situation was discussed at a meeting of the distress committee last night and the mayor has summoned a special meeting of the council for to night, when a deputation from the dis tress committee will make suggestions for providing relief work. PIRATES LOOT GERMAN SHIP Chilean Bandits Board Vessel Almost Under Guns of Warship. Crew Attacked With Knives and Over powered Vessel is Sacked From Stem to Stern and Loot Carried Away on Lighters Outlaws Es cape Into Hills. San Francisco, Oct. 24. The Brit ish steamship Slrathford, which has arrived here from Chile, reports a successful raid by Chilean coast pirates on the German steamship Serato in the harbor of Antofagasta on the night of September 28. The cutting out expedition was done al most untler the guns of a Chilean gunboat. Pursuit was given, but the bandits took to the hills back of An tofagasta and escaped. The German merchantman was an chored in the harbor loaded to the hatches with a cargo and prepared for sailing on the following morning. Out of the darkness two dozen pirates leaped on the vessel's decks, and in a twinkling the watch was bound and gagged. The noise of the struggle awoke the captain, who grasped his revolver and rushed on deck. The pirates crept into the shadow as the captain approached. He was struck from behind with a belayin.tr pin and fell unconscious. By this tune the trew was awak ened and as they appeared on deck the pirates attacked them. A pitched battle with knives followed, in which several of the crew were badly in jured and the remainder bound and gagged. I'lie Chileans then sacked the ves sel from stem to stern, loading their loot on lighters they had brought with them. Krrly next day a Chilean gunboat entered the harbor and the plight of the Serato was discovered. A large party was sent in pursuit of the pirates, who had several hours' start and found safety in the hills. REVEALS SHARP PRACTICE. GAMBLERS WIN. Open Reno Votes to Continue Wide Town as Before. Reno, Nev., Oct. 26. Reno will re main a wide open town for some time to come, according to the result of the city election held here Saturday, when the gambling element won by a major ity of 56G votes out of a total of about 3,100 votes cast. The election was on a city ordinance to forbid the running of gambling games under license in the city of Reno. The ordinance was put to the city vote upon the petition of the Anti-Gambling league, who made a red hot fight at the polls. The league opened headquarters about two months ago and has worked diligently ever since, holding mass meetings and spreading literature broadcast and through the mails. The gambling fraternity worked quietly, but the result shows they worked effectively. The defeat of the ordi nance is partly due to the feeling that gambling should be stopped throughout the state and not alone in Reno. The fight will be carried into the legislature at the coming session. Scheme to Make Uncle Sam. Defend Cabrera's Stealings. San Francisco, Oct 21. United States immigration inspectors " who have been investigating naturalization frauds m this city are said to have forwarded a report to Washington ic vealing the fact that Diego Estrada Cabrera, son of the Guatemalan presi dent, is a naturalized citizen of the United States. The report further reveals that young Cabrera took this step at the instance of his father. It is alleged that the president of Guatemala took this means of safeguarding his prop erty in the southern republic under the American citizenship of his son. After young Cabrera became a citizen his father began the transfer of large property holdings both in this coun try and Guatemala to .him. The transfers still continue and the United States is unable to prevent the action and in the event of war in Guatemala could be called upon to protect young Cabrera's holdings, say the officials. SAILS IN TRIUMPH. Moros Battle With Laborers. Manila, Oct. 26. Nine Filipino la- bDrers and their American superintend ent were killed in a desperate fight with a band of Moros on the Shephers sugar plantation near Iligan on the island of Mindanao last week, accord ing to news that reached here today from the island.
