M O U N T A IN IS M OVING. O R IE N T A L S AG AIN Q U AR R E L. Men Combat Landslide on Southern Pacific in Nevada. Killing o f Japanese Traitor Caught in Pekin the Cause. Reno, N ev., Aug. 18.— f o r the past three days scores o f section men in the employ o f the- Southern Pacific com pany on the Palisade division in Ne vada have been at work trying to pre vent the caving o f the big tunnel o f that company near Palisade. The tun nel is 300 fe et or more in length and cost more than $150,000 to complete. Last year the Western Pacific started a tunnel 50 fe e t to the south o f the Southern Pacific. This was recently completed, and now it is known that the blasting has practically shaken the entire mountain, which is now slowly sliding into the Humboldt river,. Big timbers in the Southern Pacific tunnel are being slowly crushed like so much matchwood, and unless a means o f combatting the slide is determined upon it may necessitate the company abandoning the tunnel. A thousand nien and twice as many horses and mules were placed at work along the Western Pacific railroad in this state yesterday, and from now on the line w ill be rushed to completion. For neffrly a year operations have been practically at a standstill in this state. The grade has been completed from Salt Lake to a point near Elko, while from this end the grading has reached a comparatively short distance. Work westward w ill continue now until com pleted. Trains w ill probably be run ning into Winnemucca early this fall. Pekin, Aug. 14.— The killing in this city early this month o f a Japanese army officer, supposed to be a spy and traitor, by Japanese soldiers at tached to the Pekin legation, w ill re sult in the presentation by China o f a I formal protest against the doing o f ' police duty by legation guards outside o f the legation precincts. The officer in question was Captain Kyhwata. He was in fhe artillery branch o f the Kiroshima division and he was formerly an instructor in the Chinese m ilitary college at Pao T in g Fu. He was charged with selling Jap anese m ilitary secrets to a foreign power and disappeared from Japan in June. On August 1 he was discovered dis guised as a Chinaman, hiding near the war office in Pekin. This knowledge was communicated to the legation guards and a detachment was sent to capture him. He resisted arrest, whereupon the guard shot and wounded the spy and he died two days later in the hospital o f the legation guard. M. Abe, the Japanese charge d ’ a f faires, has urged lack o f time and the importance o f the prisoner in extenua tion o f the action of the guard in not notifying the Chinese authorities be fore arresting the captain. He ex plains further that the resistance o f the prisoner was unforeseen and that his consequent shooting could not be avoided. The Chinese government is not sat isfied with this explanation, and thinks its authority has been ignored. The incident has created a good deal of feelin g on both sides. Douglas County Promised Immense Eastern Capitalists Will Do This if County Builds Bridges. C rop This Season. Roseburg— Tillson & Co. have pur chased a fine equipment for their large prune packing plant in this city, and have begun work to enlarge and re- | model the plant to handle Douglas county’ s large prune crop this year. A new 30 horsepower boiler is now be ing placed fo r the steam plant, and several new pieces o f machinery for grading and packing w ill be installed. Nearly 200 cars o f evaporated prunes will be shipped out o f the county from various points, a large portion of which w ill be handled by local firms. In addition to the new machinery the building w ill be enlarged to almost twice its present size. H. L. Giles & Co., o f Salem, have purchased the Douglas County prune packing house o f R eceiver T. R. Sheri dan, and w ill thoroughly overhaul and make additions to the equipment. These two large packing houses are kept running for from three to four months every fall. Besides these two plants, there is another packing house at M yrtle Creek that handles from 20 to 50 carloads every season. There w ill also be about 30 carloads o f ap ples shipped from Douglas county this year. The Douglas County Fruit growers’ association w iii handle about half o f this crop o f apples. Salem— The County Commissioners’ court at their last meeting heard the petition o f Mining Engineer Gadsden, representing Eastern capitalists, for the appropriation o f $2,000 for the building o f five bridges across the San- tiam river, to make the Gold Creek copper mines accessible. In return for this investment, Mr. Gadsden guaran tees the erection o f a smelter with a capacity o f 100 tons per day. I t is expected that the opening up of these mines and the building o f the smelter w ill result in the location o f a refinery in this city. The Gold Creek mines are located on the head waters o f the Santiam in the extreme Eastern part o f Marion county. A number o f leading citizens appear ed before the court and argued in favor o f the $2,000 appropriation. IlLLINOIS RACE RI0T> _________ Mob Burns Blacks’ Homes and Club the Occupants. TROOPS ARE RUSHED TO CITY Whole N egro Quarter o f Springfield Burning and Firemen Kept Away From Fire*. Springfield, 111., Aug. 15.— Spring- field is in the hands o f a mob o f en raged citizens who began last night to wreak vengeance on negro residents for an assault committed yesterday by George Richardson, a negro, on Mrs. Earl Hallam, a white woman. A t 1 o’clock this morning the whole east end o f town burst into flames, the torch having been applied to several negro houses by some o f the more des perate mob members. A mob o f white men at 2:45 o’clock this morning lynched a negro who was supposed to be sneaking under cars on the Illinois Central tracks and shooting at the whites. The Decatur company o f the Illinois National guard arrived at 2 :30 o ’clock this morning and went to the “ bad lands,” where 20 huts occupied by negroes have been burned and where the fire is still raging. T w o men are already dead and prob ably two score others are injured, mostly negroes. The rabble is sweep ing through the streets attacking every negro met. A ll the local m ilitia are on duty, and half a dozen companies from other cities are rushing here on special trains. Still other companies are ordered to hold themselves in re serve. The fire department is help less to combat the fire in the negro quarter on account o f the threatening attitude o f the mob toward the fire men. Eugene Chafin, Prohibition candi date for president, in protecting a ne gro from death, was struck on the head with a brick and put out o f com mission temporarily. The negro he saved drew a knife and badly cut seve- valr men in the fight. Richardson and another negro want ed for murder were stealthily taken from Springfield jail last evening and rushed to Bloomington, whence they were later taken to Peoria. It is thought that with the arrival o f the out o f town troops the streets w ill be cleared and order restored. Negroes in two instances have turn ed with considerable effect upon their assailants. In one mixup a trooper at tempted to separate the combatants and was nearly overwhelmed by. those in pursuit o f several negroes. Most o f the members o f Troop B, o f Taylorville, are on guard around the jail. The rioters who had gathered in front o f the jail after the-incarcera tion o f Richardson were enraged by the ruse practiced by the sheriff in removing him. Finding that the negroes were gone, the mob amused iLself for a time by looting negro resorts in East Washing ton street. The amusement o f the rioters was tragedy fo r the negroes, many o f whom were roughly handled and beaten with pieces o f their own furniture. A white man and his son, whose names were not ascertained by the po lice, were shot, supposedly by negroes. This encounter further enraged the members o f the mob and they began a general search for negroes wherever they could be found. FIRES IN IDAHO. | Kootenai Falls Prey to Flames and Sand Point is Threatened. I Spokane, Aug. 12.— A Sand Point, Idaho, special to the Spokesman Re view says: % W ith the wind blowing a gale and the adjacent town o f Kootenai wiped out, it seems that no power can save Sand Point. A t 6 o’ clock last evening a small forest fire north o f Kootenai was blown into the town and the town o f 300 inhabitants was burned to the ground. The Humbird Lumber company has a $200,000 mill at Kootenai, which burn ed to the ground, and which was only partly insured. A t present the fire is within 2,000 fe et o f the Panhandle smelter, which seems doomed. The homeless people o f the little hamlet o f Kootenai have been brought here, and are being cared for by citi zens. A ll o f them lost their belong ings. Over 500 volunteers are fighting the approach o f the flames. Sand Point has a population o f about 10,000. An appeal has just been sent to the Spo kane fire department for aid. I t was impossible at midnight to learn the extent o f the damage by fire at Sand Point. The telegraph wires are down and connection is lost with the regular telephone line, but the operator o f the Independent Telehpone office at Sand Point, states that Sand Point is in no immeditae danger. The town of Kootenai was burned, but the big mill o f the Humbird company was saved. Reports are conflicting regarding the smelter at Ponderay, near Sand Point, one report declaring that it was burned while the other states that the forest fire was near but the »melter was still safe.
