Heppner Gazette Issued Thursday of Each Wek 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. Vice President Fairbanks has bought out his partners in a 225-acre grape and orange farm in California. A hitch has occurred in Venezuelan negotiations over the case of the New York and Bermudez Asphalt company. Knee bones and tendons removed from a dying man were successfully grafted upon the leg of George A. Kelly at the Georgetown University hospital. Americans are buying nine-tenths of the best examples of the work of the old masters in Europe, according to Eugene Fischoff, a well-known art dealer of Paris. The forest service proposes to cut trails through the Lassen national for est in California and have Angora goats graze on the brush along them in order to clear fire lines. By the purchase of 160 acres imme diately east of the Union Printers' Home at Colorado Springs as a site of the proposed national sanitarium of the National Lettercarriers' Association, the first step toward the actual found ing of the home has been taken. It was announced at the headquarters of the New York state branch of the American National Red Cross that fur ther funds were not required for the earthquake sufferers in Italy at this time. More than $900,000 has been contributed to the American Red Cross. A panic among 800 girls in the con vent of the Sisters of Mercy on Classon avenue, Brooklyn, was averted Thurs day, when they were quickly assembled for prayer on the lower floor. A big factory building near by, occupied by several small manuafcturers, was to tally destroyed. The historic Lincoln coach in which President Linclon rode to Washington for his inaugural ceremony was de stroyed in a fire the other day at Sharpsville, Pa. It was the sole pas senger qeuipment of the little Sharps ville railway, running between that town and Washington Junction. It was covered with sheet-iron put on be fore Lincoln made his famous ride, and was supposed to be bullet-proof. Only eight jurors have been secured in the Calhoun trial out of over 500 examined. Fire among the fleet of flower boats at Canton, China, caused the death of at least 200. Colonel Goethals says warships may pass through the Panama canal by Jan uary 1, 1915. The American battleship fleet is gathered at Gibraltar and will soon start on its voyage home. Anti-Jap leaders in the California legislature defy Roosevelt and declare that no alien shall own land in that state. Prospects are that there will be a deficiency of $4,500,000 in the amount available for army pay during the year 1910. A plea to the Illinois legislature for the abolition of the grand jury has struck a responsive chord with Chicago lawyers. The Oregon presidential elector who failed to reach Washington on time may yet be fined $1,000, and may also lose his mileage. The Union Pacific is beginning to rush work on its line from the Sound to Gray's Harbor, in an effort to head off the St. Paul road. The yellow fever situation in the Barbadoes is serious. The Danish and French authorities in the West Indies have quarantined all their seaports against the Barbadoes. The Supreme court of the United States has denied the application of the Consolidated Gas company, of New York, for a rehearing. The case in volves the validity of the 80-cent gas law and was recently decided against the company. At the direction of the secretary of war. an investigation into the mainte nance of automobiles owned by the War department has been made, and as a result the secretary has concluded that their use entails greater expense than horses and carriages. The Philippine general assembly has opened at Manila. The American battleship fleet is now at anchor off Gibraltar. Prominent American horsemen will make entries on English circuits. The International Opium conference held its first session at Shanghai. A 3-year-old boy in Philadelphia died of fright on seeing a dog that had bit ten him seven weeks ago. President Rxsevelt has been offered $300,000 to head a Wild West show in a 30 weeks' engagement. A slight earthquake shock is report ed from Montreal. Heavy shocks have been felt alo-g the southern coast of Spain. LEGISLATURE DETERMINED. California Solons Must Be Shown Ac tual Danger. Sacramento, Cal., Feb. 9. Positive information that anti-Japanese legisla tion will involve the United States in trouble with Japan is all that will pre vent the final passage of Grove L. Johnson's Japanese school bill in the assembly next Wednesday morning. The lower house has taken Speaker Stanton at his word and awaits en lightenment upon the great secrets of state, publicly or privately. If tho conversation of members today reflects the sentiment of the assembly, the slightest official intimation that legis lation adverse to the interests and wel fare of the Japanese in this country may cause international complications will be sufficient to kill every anti Japanese bill. If, however, this official information cannot be produced by Stanton, if he can't "make good," then the assembly will demonstrate that the speaker may cry "wolf" but once. Stanton's dramatic pleading for de lay Friday is the talk of the legisla ture. In both houses the members are asking, "What in the world did he mean?" Arrayed against Governor Gillett, Stanton and the conservatives, how ever, is a strong anti-Japanese force which is merely conciliatory. The postponement of final action on the school bill was in the nature of an armistice and back of that action is a determination to pass every anti-Japanese bill if the speaker cannot make good his suggestion that information would be submitted to show the folly of antagonizing Japan. The propo nents of the anti-Japanese measures are quite frank in saying that Stanton must produce documentary proof of the imminence of conflict between this country and Japan and that nothing else will kill the bills. That Stanton will make good may be inferred from the remark of Governor Gillett that Japan has served notice upon the United States to the effect that any drastic anti-Japanese legisla tion will be regarded as a breach of faith. "You know what breach of faith means in the parlance of diplomats," said the governor. "Between two na tions it is a very serious thing. It may mean the end of diplomatic rela tions. It is unnecessary for me to ex plain the significance of the recall of an ambassador." The governor will not divulge the nature of the matter which has been forwarded to him by President Roose velt. It is, however, understood that this, together with additional facts relative to the diplomatic relations of the United States and Japan, which will be sent from Washington by tele graph, may be submitted to the assem bly Tuesday. It is the opinion of Stan ton that the display of this information will end the Japanese embroglio. AFTER MORE PACKERS. Rebate Inquiry Extended Under Pres ident's Directions. Chicago, Feb. 9. Investigation of four additional packing concerns beside Morris & Co. will be conducted in Chi cago as a result ot the conrerence neia in Washington last week between Dis trict Attorney Edwin W. Sims ar.d At torney General Bonaparte. Mr. Sims and his first assistant, James H. Wilkerson, returned to Chi cago today prepared to renew the beef inquiry. These investigations will not be upon an extended scale at first and will be for the purpose of determining whether the packing concerns have ac cepted or solicited rebates from the railroads. Witnesses will probably be called this week from the offices of the National Packing company, Armour & Co., Swift & Co., and Schwarzschild & Sulzberger, though no large number of witnesses will be called at one time. President Roosevelt's instructions that the inquiry be thorough will be followed to the letter in these late in vestigations, as well as in the Morris & Co. investigation, which is practic ally concluded. The president and the department of justice in no uncertain terms urged the prosecution of the in quiry, according to an official who was in close touch with the conference. Call for Men Frequent. Washington, Feb. 9. An official of the bureau of information of the de partment of commerce and labor said today that within the last ten weeks fully 15,000 laborers could have been sent out to different parts of the coun try if they had had the means to trav el. Thousands of applications are be ing received for work from the unem ployed. One suggestion which has been put forward is that some fund be set aside by congress for the use of the division in transporting laborers, with the understanding that the money should be repaid. Fall Through Ice and Drown. Woodshole, Mass., Feb. 9. While standing on a pond near here today, Charles Gottliebsen, wireless operator of the revenue cutter Acushnel, broke through the ice, and both he and Sea man Oscar Rongve, also of the Acush nel, who made a brave attempt to res cue him, were drowned. Several of their shipmates endeavored to reach the drowning men from the shore by tying their handkerchiefs together to make a lifeline. Cold Weather Predicted. Washington, Feb. 9. Following a storm, which will move eastward from the extreme West tomorrow, a cold wave, which now covers the North west, will prevail over the t-ntire Northern section of the country by the middle of the week. Much lower tem peratures will be experienced over the Southern districts. A WEEK WITH OUR STATE LAWMAKERS AT SALEM Saturday, February 6. Salem, Feb. 6. What are commonly known as the salary grab bills will oc cupy a considerable part of the time of the legislature this week, unless the two houses mark out a definite plan of defeating them or passing them and then follow the plan without much dis cussion. Many of the bills are pend ing and it is practically certain that nearly all of them will meet the gover nor's veto when they reach the execu tive office. The present outlook is that few of the salary bills will get through the senate over the governor's veto, though some of them may. Senator Selling, who is one of the leaders in the opposition to the salary bills, was a strong advocate of higher salaries for circuit judges. If the governor should veto Hart's bill for an additional $1,000 for the circuit judge in Baker county, the increase to be paid by the county, it is quite likely Selling will support the bill over the veto. . Friday, February 5. Salem, Feb. 5. Salary bill vetoes were the occasion for another spirited tilt in the senate today, with Miller of Linn and Hart of Baker exchanging uncomplimentary remarks and Bing ham of Lane demanding unsuccessfully that Miller apologize for remarks re flecting upon the senate. President Bowerman was the unintentional cause of the whole trouble, but the fact that the storm had an innocent origin did not lessen its fury. There were three of the vetoed bills and they all passed over the governor's veto by practically the same vote in each instance. The bills passed over the veto were : House bill 59, to increase the salary of the school superintendent of Morrow county from $800 to $1200, was passed over the governor's veto, Abraham, Kellaher, Miller of Linn, Norton, Sell ing, Sinnott and Wood voting "no." House bill 69, to raise the salary of the school superintendent of Yamhill county from $900 to $1,200, was passed over the governor's veto, Abraham, Kellaher, Miller of Linn, Norton, Sell ing, binnott and bmith ot Umatilla voting "no." House bill 111, to raise the salary of the school superintendent of Sherman county from $500 to $1,000, was passed over the governor's veto, Kellaher, Miller of Linn, Norton, Selling and Smith ot Umatilla voting no. It took the house just three minutes today to pass over Governor Chamber lain's veto three salary-grabbing bills which had been disapproved for the reason that the increased salarieswent into effect during the incumbent's term in each instance. Only three repre sentatives voted to sustain the gover nor's veto. The first bill to be disposed of was that increasing the salary of the school superintendent of Polk county from $900 to $1,200 per annum. The other two salary ' bills also affected the compensation of school superintendents with increases as fol lows: Morrow, $800 to $1,200; Sher man, $500 to $1,000. Both bills pass ed over the veto with only two or three negative votes. Thursday, February 4. Salem, Feb. 4. Another of the Multnomah county salary-raising bills passed the house this morning. It was that affecting the salaries of the depu ties in District Attorney Cameron's office. Salary-increasing bills will have no place in the Oregon legislature if the bill introduced in the house this after noon by Representative Buchanan be comes a law. It classifies the counties of the state according to population and prescribes a scale of salaries to he paid the various officers according to that classification. Advocates of extended common school education, in this state today scored a notable victory when Repre sentative Hawley's bill, requiring that at least six months' school be taught annually in every school district in the state, passed the house with only one dissenting vote Hatteberg of Marion. Against a vigorous fight waged by Representative McCue, of Clatsop, the bill abolishing compulsory pilotage on the Columbia bar passed the house this morning by a vote of 48 to 11, one ab sent. This bill was introduced by Representative Mahone for the Mult nomah county delegation and had the indorsement of the Portland Chamber of Commerce and the Port of Portland. County Clerk Fields has renewed his efforts to secure enactment of a law at this session providing for the appoint ment of inspectors of election in this state. Such a bill failed to pass the house earlier in the session. The bill introduced in the house today, how ever, differs from the orginal measure in that it applies only to Multnomah county, and then only to precincts in which 300 or more votes are cast. Or ton of Multnomah presented the bill. Kellaher's bill requiring toilets on all interurban passenger cars was in definitely postponed in the senate this monring, but not until after a vigorous Apple Crop Nets $275,000. Hood River From H. M. Huxley, manager of the Hood River Apple Growers' Union, it was learned that the total shipment of apples by the un ion for the season will be about 225 cars. While several thousand boxes of apples are still in storage here they are all sold and will be sent to their purchasers when ordered. The num ber of cars of strictly fancy apples shipped by the union this season is 1 200, the other 25 cars being choice. I fight for it by Senator Kellaher and Chairman Coffey, of the railroads com mittee. Pademonium reigned in the senate just before adjournment this afternoon, and President Bowerman was kept busy with his gavel attempting to re store order. House bill 77, by Haw ley, to provide more funds for commnn schools, had been referred to the com mittee on education, of which Cole is chairman. Senator Bingham, of the committee on assessment and taxation, moved that it be referred to his com mittee. The motion carried. Wednesday, February 3. Salm, Feb. 3. Dizzy with the enormous demand for appropriations, the ways and means committees are struggling to keep down and throw out bills that drain the state treasury. They are confronted with a big job. Here are the totals of cash calls : Bills in senate, $1,385,801.10; bills in house, $1,860,581.69; recommended by the secretary of state, $3,407, 829.35; total, $6,654,212.14. After allowing for duplications in these three classes, the total of the ap propriation calls reaches $5,500,000. From the looks of things the appropri ations may reach $4,000,000 and cer tainly cannot be held below $3,500,000. This does not include cost of increased pay for county officers. Some of the dead appropriations are $2,000 for an armory at Ashland; $10,000 for relief of Italian earth quake sufferers; $3,000 for Oregon Humane Society; $15,000 for improve ment of the Grande Ronde river; $1,800 for messenger and janitor of the Supreme court; $150,000 for building of historical society. Another fire insurance bill was added today to the insurance lobby's list of troubles by the introduction of Senator Kay's bill admitting foreign mutuals. The insurance men are bothered by an anti-trust bill of Senator Bingham's which aims to put out of business the rate trust of insurance companies. Bingham says that since insurance companies have been clamoring for protection, he will see that the people obtain it. Before the senate passed Senator Bailey's bill regulating the hours of labor of women, it amended the bill upon motion of Senator Selling by eliminating the clause which permits women to work in stores 12 hours a day during the week before Christmas. Selling explained that he is a retail merchant and sees no reason why mer chants should be permitted to work their clerks more than 10 hours a day at any season of the year. Tuesday, February 2. Salem, Feb. 3. Salarvy log rollers in both houses discarding party lines today succeeded in overriding vetoes of Governor Chamberlain on bills to in crease the pay of the sheriff of Harney county and school superintendent of Polk and to jjrant fees to the sheriffs of Malheur and Lake. The Harney veto must yet be voted down in the house before becoming a law and the two other vetoes must be so disposed of in the senate. Today's action of the two bodies in dicates quite conclusively that the two bodies will reciprocate in this matter. The Harney veto was overriden in the senate by 23 members supporting the bill and the two other vetoes in the house were overcome by a vote of 37 to 16 in the case of the Polk county school superintendent and 52 to 4 in the case of the sheriff's fees in Mal heur and Lake. Appalled by the enormous call for appropriations, the ways and means committee are whetting their knives for the pruning. Senate appropriation bills aererreKate $1,200,000 and house bills $1,800,000, while the secretary of state's recommended budget amounts to $3,400,000. The total of all cash calls is $5,500,000. making allowance for duplications of the house, the sen ate and the secretary of state. Appropriations two years ago were $3,083,805. which exceeded those of the session before by $800,000. A horde of bills creating new jobs, most of them at fat pay, have invaded the legislature no less than 200 new seats at the pie ocunter being provided for. How far the combination against the governor, as signalled today, will extend for enactment of these bills, it is impossible yet to foretell. Monday, February I. Salem. Feb. 1. The anti-statement bill, introduced jointly by Representa tives Bean and Brooke, created some thinir of a stir in the house this morn ing when it was reported back by the committee on elections with a favora ble report. Brooke moved the adop tion of the report, which was opposed by Orton and several of the statement republican members ana tne motion finally prevailed by a vote of 23 to 22, 15 beine absent. The bill was made a special order for Wednesday at 2 p. m. The house committee on railroads tomorrow will recommend favorably a bill requiring that all cars on interur ban street railway lines be equipped with toilets. Plan Fine High School Monmouth The movement for a union high school for the two cities of Monmouth and Independence, and the four distric s adjoining the towns, has taken definite shape with the report of the joint committee from the pr jected territory to be included, which selerted a site just half way between Monmouth and Independence, on the county road nnH motor-car line. The vote of the school patrons will 1 be taken next June at the school election. FLEET STARTS FOR HOME. Will Arrive February 22 Few Repairs Necessary. Gibraltar, Feb. 8. While heavy guns boomed a parting salute and drowned the cheers of spectators and the playing of "Home, Sweet Home' by the sixteen bands of the American battleship fleet, the great white ships got nder way at H o'clock this morn ing and slowly and majestically left their anchorages in the war basin here, and started on the last lap of their rec ord-breaking cruise around the world . For the greater part of the last sec tion of their 45,000-mile cruise the 16 ships will proceed alone, in double col umn formation; but about 1,000 miles off their home coast they will be met by the North Atlantic fleet, in com mand of Rear Admiral Arnold, and es corted by his ships to their final an chorage at Hampton Roads, from which port they started their world-cruise December 16, 1907. The big fleet is expected to arrive at the Roads again on Washington's birthday, which makes the time of its voyage around the world exactly one year and 68 days JJn this long cruise no serious acci dent has marred the logs of the big white ships, though the vessels have seen ample excitement. They have been through a strenuous target prac tice in the Philippines, have visited Japanese waters when the relations be tween tne two countries were in an unsettled condition ; and more lately, in the latter part of their voyage, have raced through the Mediterranean to give succor and aid to earthquake- stricken Sicily and Italy. CHAOS IN PERSIA. Civil War Ravages Cities, Brigands Terrorize Country. London, Feb. 8. Events in Persia are marching toward a crisis that will necessitate Anglo-Russian intervention on the largest scale unless the progres sives and reactionaries reach a compro mise as to constitutional government in the immediate future and check the anarchy overwhelming the Shah's do mains. As European interest shifted from North Africa to the near East, so now it is shifting from the near East to the middle East. Mulai Hafid gave way to Abdul Hamid and the "Red Sultan" gives way to Ali Mirza. In overthrowing the governor of Is pahan and notifying the legations that all loans and concessions will be repu diated unless approved by Parliament, the Persian Liberals hurl a new factor into international relationships. Prominence is given to an article in the Kavkas, of Tiflis, by an American traveler who has crossed Persia re cently. "By degrees chaos is spreading everywhere," he says. "The turbulent conditions are involving every populous center and organized brigandage is making tke whole land a land of ter ror." JAP SITUATION SERIOUS. President Thanks Gillette for Aid in Averting Trouble. Washington, Feb. 8. Opinions differ about the gravity of the Japanese sit uation. Those best informed, as a rule, look on it as serious. Senator Perkins, of California, does not agree with the chief "executive that action by Califorina's legislature will contravene the treaty rights of the Japanese. Senator Flint, of California, however, feels Greatly disturbed, as does the president, lest California may at this time pass legislation which will violate Japan's treaty rights and be consider ed an unfriendly act. The president is said to have fears that things may go so far that Japan will break off diplomatic relations with this country, and he has sent telegrams warmly thanking Governor Gillett and Speaker Stanton for their patriotic efforts in behalf of the nation. He feels that at this time California has no rierht to commit any act which might plunge this nation into war. Jury Prays for Guidance. Suffolk, Va., Feb. 8. Prayer for di vine guidance was asked on bended knees by the jury which today brought in a verdict of murder in the first de gree against Samuel Hardy. Hardy was charged with the murder of T. G. Jones at Holland, Va., last October. The jurors upon retiring knelt in prayer, and on their return an hour later with the verdict two of the jurors were weeping, it was charged that the murdered man was to testify ad versely to Hardy in a will contest. Seven Ships on Pacific. New York, Feb. 8. The congress for the development of the merchant marine of the United States had for its principal speaker tonight Congressman J. D. McCleary of Minnesota, who de clared the adoption of the proposed ship subsidy bill was the only solution of th n'ipotinn. Mr McCleary said the Pacific Ocean should be a great American lake, but that today there are but seven ships in the merchant marine on that boHv of water now fly ing the American flag. Buyit? Tidelands. Cpthlamet. Wah., Feb. 8. The N- rthorn IVcific Railway company has coi.nple'p'l the purchase of all the tide- lands on Grays bay and the lact deed 'n thp purchase wrs filed for record in the rffire of the clerk of Wahkiakum county at Cathlamet, yesterday. BRIEF NEWS OE THE STATE SMELTER FOR GOLD CREEK. Favorable Progress Reported by Mine Directors at Albany. Albany A smelter for the Gold Creek mining district this summer is assured by the action of the board of directors of the Black Eagle Mining and Milling company. Following the meeting of tho stockholders of the company at Gates, in which the smel ter project was indorsed, the directors, took official action authorizing con struction.

Albany Man Gets 2595 Eggs From Dozen Fowls in Year. Albany A. S. Hart, of this city, has 12 hens which have laid 2,595 eggs in the past year, and he claims it is the champion laying brood of the world. Included in this flock is the hen which recently established a new world's record by producing 256 eggs in a year. An average of 218 eggs for 12 hens is also a remarkable record. The first of the flock laid for the first time on November 20. 1907, and the last of the flock completed its year January 27, 1909. Hart has kept a record by the trap-nest Bystem. He i3 preparing to substantiate the figures by affidavits and claim some world's records in the poultry journals of the world. Four hens laid more than 200 eggs each, scoring, respectively, 256, 244, 216 and 205. Two laid 197 each, an other 194, and two 190 each. The other three scored 178, 172 and 162, respectively. All of the champions are Barred Plymouth Rocks. Wind Does Damage. La Grande Owing to the surface soil being dry, the seere windstorm which raged from Ladd eanyon, on the south, to Elgin, on the no-th, caused some damage to fall sown wheat. The path of the storm was ebout five milrs wide and 20 long. Resit ents of Alicel, Imbler and other small towns were compelled to stay indoors. These storms seldom do damage. It is not believed that the storm caused serious damage, probably $1,000 all told. Phone Company Wants Business. SalemThe "Big Four" Telephone association has asked permission to stretch telephone wires from Gervais to Butteville, in this county. The as sociation has headquarters at Gervais. Examination Dates Set. Albany The semi-annual examina tion of Linn county teachers will be held in this city February 10 to 13, in clusive. PORTLAND MARKETS.
