The population of Grant'a Pass, Or., oonsistsof 1,257 males and 1,126 fe males, a total of 2,883. Of the males, 858 are legal voters. Nearly every farmer in Union coun ty, Or., hag a lot of hogs numbering all the way from ten to several hunderd tnd to these will be fed a part of the crop of grain. The Taeoma school district is up to the limit in indebtedness, and no funds will be available for two months with which to pay teachers' salaries and other current expenses. Dr. George S. Armstrong, secretary f Washington board of health, is male tng a tour of the state to secure an en forcement of the law requiring that all births and deaths shall be reported to the county auditor monthly. Philip Isensoe, the defaulting treaa urer of JVew Whatcom, Wash., baa eon taken to the penitentiary at Walla tValla to serve out the term recently imposed on him by the superior court and approved by the supreme court. A novel attraction is arranged for in the Indian department at the fair at New Whatcom, Wash. An old Lum mi Indian will finish up a canoe dur ing the fair with the primitive imple- ruenta used by the tribe in early times. The warehouses in The Dalles are paying . 37 cents for wheat aud the Douring mills 40 cents. There is no diminution in the receipts, and the ferryboat is kept busy all day carrying teams across the river, while the roads leading to town from the east are lined with wagons. Captain McLean, of the Chilean ship Atocama, and Captain Jensen, who were recently arrested, in connection with alleged outrageous treatment of acgro sailor, Balding, and released on 110,000 bonds, have been surrendered 1j their bondsmen to the United States minorities at Seattle. A bunch of wheat secured by Com mitteeman J. S. Morris, of Albany, Or., for the Linn county exhibit, ia curiosity. It contains 42 stalks, with J24 meshes, each mesh having three to dve kernels, probably averaging four, total of over 3,500 grains from one kernel of wheat Mr. Watts baa col tec ted a large and attractive assortment of oereals in stalks that will compare with anything to be found anywhere in the world. Litigants in Morrow county, Or., lave been greatly inconvenienced by (he loss of their last spring's term of jourt in that county. Judge Fee holds chat all legal publications, such as summons, orders lor publication, etc., that were published for the March term jf court which should have been held last spring, must again be published jefore legal action can be taken. Con sequently all business of this nature chat would have come up last spring joes over to the next term of court. The trustees of the Tillamook, Or., academy, have made a donation of that institution to the Presbytery of Port land, on oondition that the oontraots of iubsoription shall be fully complied with, and the academy made a perma nent institution. The change ia not expected to materially affect the school. A committee of the Presbytery of Port land will visit Tillamook at an early date to oomplete the transfer of the property and make the plans known. William Hodges, a young man, was shot through the back by a rifle ball at Blue Canyon last Sunday. He was one of a orowd who were out hunting. He was standing on a hillside above the rest of the group. One of them commenced shooting at some pheasants and in the hurry failed to see that Hodges was directly in line. The re sult was that a ball went orashing through his shoulder, going in below the oollar-bone and shattering the shoulder-blade. The wound is an ugly one, but the young man will recover in time. . C. W. Richie, manager of the Solic itors' Loan & Trust Company, of Ta eoma, whian is interested in a large number of. wheat firms in Eastern Washington, has been examining the oondition of the orops in the Palouse and Big Bend oonntries during the past two woeka. From Spokane be writes that the prioe of grain has fallen ten cents a bushel in the past month, and that in conaeqnenoe much of the crop will be held till January 1 for better prices. He says 40 per oent of the crop in the Palouse is ruined. An interesting document was re corded in the oounty clerk's office of Lincoln county, Or., last week.

The deed has been recorded in the several oountiea of the Btate in which any of the land grant lies, and the formation of a new oounty caused ita recording in Lincoln oounty. THE INSURANCE RATE WAR. Trued Only No Far as Oregon, Wash, ingtoa and Arlaona Are Concerned. San Francisco. Sept. 21. The in surance' companies operating on the f aoino coast have agreed to a truce so far as Oregon, Washington and Ari zona are oonoerned, but the rate war within this state shows no signs of abating, and, as a prominent risk- writer said today: "It will keep np till everybody is worn out" At a recent meeting of the insurance oompanies doing business in Arizona the following resolution was adopted That the rates heretofore made by the Pacific Union for the territory of Arizona be maintained, and the secre tary obtain the signatures of all the oompanies doing business in said terri tory to an agreement to this effect, and that a oopy thereof be forwarded to all agents throughout said territory of Arizona." Following this specific arrangement for Arizona business com the news of renewed vigor in the fight at Log An geles, which is the chief center of the rate war just now. Insurance men see no prospect of a truce in this state. The business hag become so divided and the rate-cutting so deep that a great deal of personal ill-feeling has been engendered, and in insurance circles now but one word is applied to the war "venomous." FROM THE FAR NORTH. Miner W. Bruce, the Alaska Explorer, Back From the Aretle Ocean. Seattle, Sept 21. Miner W. Bruoe, the Alaska explorer, and author of Brace's "Alaska," arrived today from Point Hope, on the Arctic ocean, in latitude 68:20 north. He came on the schooner , Jessie, with wh:-h he left here three months ago today. Mr. Brace brought five natives, who he will take to Washington this winter to urge the claims for the propagation of reindeer for the food and clothing of tho Esquimaux. ' The cargo of the Jessio consists of whalebone and skins, which were se cured from the Arctio Esquimaux in exchange for wares sent north by Se attle merchants. When the ves reached her destination, the natives in canoes swarmed aboard and clamored for trade, and it required the efforts of the crew of three men to wait on them, The crew, on arrival here, was at tired in hair-seal suits and water-tan ned boots that did not cost over 2 each. The Exquimaux wear reindeer suits. THE STATE'S EVIDENCE. Testimony of Witnesses Against the At leged X.ynehera Ellensburg, Wash., Sept 21. The prosecution in the trial of the alleged lynchers had all of ita eivdence in by 4 o'clock this afternoon, having called seven witnesses. The defense, having reserved its statement, made it at this time, and then called ita witnesses. There are a great number on the list, but it is not probable that all will be secured. The case will be finished, at the present rate, this week. An alibi will undoubtedly be the defense of some of the defendants. Several of the state's witnesses testified to seeing all the defendant a in the jaiL Ken nedy battering the cage door, Ueblach er holding a candle, and the others present They also testified to seeing them at the tree, though it was not shown who put the rope around the necks of the Vinsona or who pulled them up. None of the defendants had been shown up in the light of direct executioners. The case is attracting very little interest, and tho courtroom ia not more crowded than nsuaL TO RECOVER A. NOTE. Suit Brought Against President Allen .of the Bank of Taeoma. . . ; , Tacoma, Sept 21. The reoeiver of the bank of Tacoma today, by direc tion of the oourt, brought suit against W. B. Allen, president of the bank, to recover 170,000 on a note whioh Allen gave the bank in payment of his sub scription of 700 shares of the capital stock. ' The note was given December 81, 1894, for one year, bearing 10 per cent interest, and no part was ever paid. The note was the only asset possessed by the Bank of Tacoma in addition to the assets of the Tacoma Trust fc Savings bank, which were transferred to it when the Bank of Ta coma waa organized in February, 1894. The reoeiver haa also sued N. C. Richards, a director of the bank, to re cover a $17,000 mortgage, which was given the bank by the Cascade Oatmeal Company, and which is alleged to have been fraudulently transferred to Rich ards in payment of a pretended indebt edness to him. Those Chinese for Atlanta. San Franoisoo, Sept 21. The local federal officers are investigating an al leged transaction by which two notori ous Chinese slaved ealers brought in 250 Chinese laborers, ostensibly aa ac tors for the Atlanta exposition. It is believed by officers here that the real actors for the exposition were found in New York, and of the men and women brought into the oountry aa actors, the women are slaves and the men laborers. To avoid suspicion they were landed at Victoria and brought across the line at Ogdenaburg, N. Y. The United States district attorney will lay the facta in bis possession before the fed eral grand jury and ask for indiot menta against "Little Pete" andLeong Lam, who have a bad reputation with the officials. A pocket was found in Jaokson creek d is trio t, Or., last week from whioh gold estimated at between $600 and $1,000 haa been taken. Mr. Adams, the owner, aaya that he haa ordered a five-stamp mill, whioh will be pnt in position soon after it arrives. STRIFE OVER VALUES Annual Troubles ot the Board of Equalization. PLEAS FOE MERCY ABE HEARD A Decided Decrease la all Property In ' Washington, a. Assessed by the County Boards. Olympia, Wash., Sept 19. The scene of strife between the state board of equalization on the one side and the . oounty assessors on the other, whioh ia annually presented at the capital, ia now fairly on in a somewhat exagger ated form. Tales of poverty are being heard and eloquent pleas for meroy are now made daily to the state equalizers. All this consumes time, if it does not prove effective. The value of railroad property, as equalized by the county boards in 1894 was $13,492,997; for 1895 this ia $12,548,825, a decline of $944,172, or nearly 7 per cent Realty in 1894 was $174,399,616; this year it ia $165,681,508, a decline of $8,718,- 108, or nearly 5 per cent Personal property in 1894 was $38,425,883; this year, 925,986,899, a difference of $2, 438,434, or 8 1-3 per cent All of these figures for 1895 are without Franklin county, whose returns are not yet in. Fierce county was before the board today in the person of Prosecuting At torney Coiner, Robert Wingate, the county commissioners and the oounty assessor. Regarding oharges made that Pierce oounty had been unjustly treated a year ago, Auditor Grimes said no wrong had been done and he could rely on the records to prove his asser tion. Coiner said Pierce county people . felt they had been severely dealt with in the matter of taxation. They had looked at it as an aggregate ' proposition.- They thought their valuation very large and arrived at the conclu sion that it was the fault of the state board; but, upon investigation, they had concluded it waa mostly thair own fault They felt, however, an injus tice in the past had been done Pierce and King counties in the classification of lands as compared with other West ern oountiea. To summarize the desire of the Pierce oounty people, it wonld appear that they are satisfied with the assessment of that county on city and town lots and improvements thereon, but they want a new and more favor able classification made by the state board. The following extract from the school book con tr acta will prove par ticularly interesting to retail dealers throughout the state: The Werner Company agrees to take from retail dealers all saleable stock which they have on their shelves, of the books previously in use, correspond ing to the grade and class ot books that the board selected, and give the retailers the new books supplied by the Werner Company, in exchange, dollar for dollar; and also agree to pay all express on books sent and returned on the above exchange. Lovell 3c Co. agree to make even ex change of new books now in the hands of dealers in this state. Sheldon & Co. agree that the books in the hands of dealers which were displaoed by the adoption of their publications will be received by them at the wholesale prioe in Washington, and their books furnished instead, at the same prioe, dollar for dollar. ARMY AND NAVY. Fifteen-Inch Oun Will Penetrate Any Plate That Ia Made. Washington, Sept 19 A successful test waa made today of the 15-inch gun of the navy, as well as of the structure of the battleship on whioh the heavy armor is bolted. The plate waa the same aa used in the test two weeks ago, when it withstood the ahota from the 12-inch gun, save for having been cracked down the middle. The plate was fourteen inches thick, of Harvey Ued ateeL It waa fastened to a struc ture representing the side of a battle ship. In today's test a Wheeling-Sterling armor-piercing shell, . weighing 1,100 pounds, was fired from a 13- inch rifle, with 480 pounds of powder, a distance of 380 feet with a velocity ot 1,800 feet a second. It struck the plate on that portion uninjured by the previous shots, cracking, it into three pieoes, penetrating the plate and bulk heads supporting it and disappeared in the sand. There was no doubt ex- . pressed among the naval officials that the shot would have penetrated any armor made, and in a ship equipped with plate like that tested today, the opinion was the shot would have pene trated the ship and knocked the plate off on the opposite aide. While the plate was penetrated, yet the officers said the fact that it was cut through so oleanly and so little shattered proved it was equal to any plate yet made. It had been olaimed that it a shot should pieroe an armor plate that the struc tural portion of the ship to whioh the plate was bolted would be damaged for twelve or fifteen feet along the ship's Bide. The shot today upset this theory, it damaged the structure ' ouly locally; ..;. ; '. v.- .:.' There waa some discussion aa to whether a ship could be saved from sinking after being pierced by such a shot, the impression being that if a ship did not sink she would surely be disabled. ' A test was also begun of the Colt's automatio rifle, whioh Area 400 shots per second. It will have to un dergo a test ot 800 shots without stop ping. It is said that the board of regents of the Oregon agricultural college will dock ' teachers whenever they are absent
