OREGON, Fill DAY, OCTOJJER 9, 1903. ATTKACTED BV HHOSPEHITV. Immenie Immigration of Cheap Labor From Southera Europe. Albany, N. Y., Oct. 7. The UU dupartiiient of labor, in it quarterly bulletin, attribute the diminution in an unprecedented degree ol employ, mant and wage reported In June a al' moat wholly to labor diaputet. "The lockout in the building trade of Manhattan and Bronx borough of rew .ork City," it iiayt, "overtbad owed all other dispute of the rammer and threw eeveial thousand wage-earn era out of work." In general tbe bul letin hold that, exclusive of tbe build Ing trade, Hew York induetrie were generally a active a In the aummer of 1 102, which wat a banner year. According to the bulletin, immigra tion thit tuiiimer ha exceeded even tbe word-breaking current of lattyeai. and lnd Icatea the eagerneti of tbe low. paid laborer of central and eoutheaet ern Kurope to enjoy I he proaperity which, on the whole, etill reign in the United State. The Urgent continent are (till tbe Italian, Poles and other race of aoath ern and natral Kurope, with a low ttandard of education. Itotwitbetand Ing the great tide of Immigration, tbe auperintendent of the Btate Free Em ployment Bureau In Uew York City stale that at no time during the quar ter w be able to meet the demands for domestic help. "Pronperity is to widely diffueed," aayt the bulletin, "that the aervant- keeping claim it larger than ever before, and ha thus created a demand that ex ceed the supply." EASY ON RUSSIA. Japan Will Not Force Manchurtaa Uiuc at fretcnt. Ijndon, Oct. 7. No apprehension exial iwthe mind of tbe liiithh gov. ernment or the diplomatist in London that the far Eastern tituation will bring forth any immediate serious de velopment. This feeling of tempor ary security on the eve of the day that Kusefa should, but admittedly, will not evacuate Manchuria, ia due to as surance on the part of Japan that as long a tbe negotiation now proceed ing between herself and Ruaaia present a reasonable prospect that a tettlement will lie reached, Japan will take no bos- tile action to Russia in the matter of Manchuria. It is further learned that tbeae ne gotiations, looking to a final tettle ment of the Ru80 Japanese spheres of inmieuce in the far East and especially dealing with the aituation in Core. are progressing satisfactorily at Tokio. No treaty, However, baa yet been signed and it la unlikely that tbe nego tiation! will be concluded by October 8, the date on which Russia was to evac uate Manchuria. Russia's failure to evacuate Manchuria on that day, bow ever, will not precipitate a diplomatic crisis, aa Japan rather than break off the negotiationi covering broadly ail the bsuea between herself and Rossia ia willing to strain a point regarding Manchuria in the hope of arriving at a satisfactory settlement. In all of this the Britibh government acquiesces. OERMAN BILLS ALLOWED. Venezuela Will Par In Oold Coin the War Indemnity. Caracas, Oct. 7. -The Venezuelan German mixed tribunal bas officially closed 73 claims presented againtt the gcvernment, involving a total oft I, 317,817.

Duffield, of Detroit. The other claims, which aggregate 1043,800, were discussed and recog nized and the claimants were awarded f 389,005. According to the protocol the awards are payable in gold. The German railroad obtain pay ment in full of its claims, and in ad dition a sum of $S00 a daj as indem nity for the interruption of traffic dur ing a period of 17 days. The Germans here are much pleased with the awards and compliment Umpire Duffield upon his deiusion. Archbishop Kaln'e Case Serious. Baltimore, Oct. 7. The physicians who have for several weeks been in at tendance upon Archbishop Flaln, of St. Louis, a patient at St. Agnes sanitar ium, In this city, held two consulta tion today. At the close of the last . . j one, late in uie aay, uiey reponeu that, while Montlgnor Kain was much improved, his condition does not war rant the hope that he will entirely re cover from the ailment from which he is suffering. Consultations of the five specialists and physicians will be held tomorrow. Protest of American Armenians. Pmulilxnre. R. I.. Oct. 7.

The mint wnicii employ 800 operative shut down on account of the high price oi raw cotton. HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON VALUES ARE HIQHER. Taxable Property of Mat la Worth About l 75,000,000. From what can be learned in unoffi cial advice from different counties of tbe state, it seems probable that the total value of the taxable property of the state a ahown by the assessment recently completed will be in the neighborhood of (175,000,000. Tbia will be in round number $25,000,000 greater than last year. From a moat every county cornea tbe report that valuation are being ad vanced and that new property ia being added to the assessment rolls, so that the total increaae for the entire state will be large. The highest assessment ever made in Oregon was tbatof 1893, when the total valuation waaover (168,000,000. Tbe valuation had grown to that aum by steady advance from (84,000,000 in 1887. From 1803 onward the counties liegan to vie with each otber in reduc ing asseaementa in order to escape a portion of the burden of atate taxes. The state taxe aeie apportioned among the eountie in proportion to tbe i seated valuation and a each county controlled its own assessment it could gain something by reduction. In 1900 this process of reduction bad brought the total assessed valuation down to (117,000,000. In order to put a stop to tbia rivalry in reducing assessment tbe legislature of 1901 paseed an act providing that atate taxe i shall be apportioned among tbe counties at a fixed ratio. Tbe ben eficial results of thi change were seen the first year, for the total assessment that year was (141,000,000, and in 1932 it bad grown to over (148,000,000. If it tball reach (175,000,000 tbia year, as now teems probable, tbe valuation will then be tbe highest in the history of the state. Nearly all of the advance indicated this year could have been made upon timber lands without placing an unjust valuation upon that class of proprety I a nearly all the counties wbere there is a considerable area of timber land subject to assessment, increased valua tions have been made tbia year. In cities, wbere both business and resi dence noperty haa fonnd readr rental at satisfactory rates, tbe valuations have been put np. fj Reports received from various sources indicate that tbe valuation of farm property bas not been radicaly in creased, but only in accordance with improvement made. BOL'QHT BY EASTERN MEN. Cornucopia Oroup of Mlnca In Eastern Ore go Sold for (600,000. A telegram received at Baker City by Lack & Schmitx irom Trenton, N. J., announcing the incorporation ol the Cornucopia mines ol Oregon company, with a capital atock of (5,000,000. This announcement closes one of tbe largest mine deals ever consummated in Oregon. It involves tbe purchase of the famous Cornucopia mine in tbe extreme northeastern portion of Baker eountv, which is included in the Union Companion group, the Red Jacket, tbe Last Chance and 15 other patented claims, together with tbe mills, mill sites and extensive water rights. This property belonged to the J. E. Searles bankrupt estate. The price paid for tbe mining property was (600,000 cash. These mines have been worked since 1885 with varying success, owing to the leng distance from railroad transportation, all ore and aupplies having to be hauled a distance of 65 miles over a difficult mountain road. A portion of the ore ia very rich, while there is a great quantity of low grade ore, which it will not pay to transport by team. It is understood that one of the first moves of the new company will be tbe construction of a railroad from Baker Ciiy to the mine. A tunnel over one mile long has been surveyed lor the purpose of opening up all of the claims. Bernard McDonald bas been appointed general manager and bas taken posses sion for the new owners. Will Cut Much Timber, Mayor F. T. Kane and E. J. Hum bert, of Forest Grove, have purchased 60,000,000 feet of yellow fir timber north of Forest Grove and will at once put in a camp of 35 men getting out logs to fill tbe 75,00,000 which they have contracted to deliver each year to W. II. l.yda, who will at once move bis mill to the Bellinger bridge on Dairy creek, three miles north of town, wbere there is a good pond with a storage ca pacity of 3,000,000 feet. The first de livery of loga will be made early in De cember. ? Cattle WIU Have No Feed. The most disastrous fire that hat ever occurred in tbe hayflelds of Lake coun ty rage J in the lower Chewaucan marsh, 30 miles north of Lakeview. At least 7,000 tons of hay in the stack and in bunches in the field has been destroyed. Tbe loss is not only the hay, but tbe pasture for fall feeding will be completely ruined. Tbe bay is valuab'e at (5 to (8 per ton, making tbe loss close to (75,000. The settlers fought bard to put eut the fire. Working on Milk Condenser. Word bas been received at Hillsboro that work on the condenser machinery is progressing rapidly in the East, and will be ready for shipment in a lew week. The engine house ia now in closed and work will commence on the main building next week. It is ex pected that tt e company will be ready to receive milk by the first ol th year or toon thereafter. COMMISSION TriE JUDGE. Spending of Lewis and Clark Fund la Its Hand. Attorney General Crawford has ren dered an ooininn at tlie rannaat nf flan. f retary of State Dunbar, in which be bold that the atate commission lor the expenditure of Ike f 500,000 appropriat ed for the Lewi and Clark fair, mast, to a great extent, if not entirely, be the judge of what expeodituers are author ized to De made oy tbem. Thi question was presented by the incurring ol an expense of (2.60 lor printing a resolution presented to the T rant-Mississippi congress requesting an appropriation from tbe national congress in aid of tbe Lewi and Clark fair. The secretary of state was in doubt whether tbe commission could use tbe fair appropriation in trying to get other appropriations, and referred tbe matter to ibe attorney general, with the result above stated. Judge Crawford cays, among other things, that neither the title nor tbe body of the Lewis and Clark fair act attempts particularly to define tbe pow ers and duties of the commission, but in every instance confers a general pow er to carry out the purpose for which It was created.

Klamath Timber Land PooL Tbe large number ol Albany people holding timber claims in Klamath county have determined to pool their claims. This is done to prevent scat tering sales at low prices. About 150 people bave already entered the com bine, and the usual officers and a board of directors will be elected.

Oct. rniriir . ' v.... luvavua I at the mine in Cripple Creek and other gum mining uisinuts in Colorado have already reduced the mineral production of the state this year at least (2,600. 000, and if the present conditions ob tain nntil the first of the year, tbe pro ductlon will fall more than (6,000 000 below what it would have been under normal conditions. In consequence ol the strike, 1,000, soldier ol the Colo rado national guard have been doing police duty in Cripple Creek (or lour weeks, and as yet neither themineown ers nor the strikers shew any evidence of weakening. The cost to the state ol maintaining tbe military force in tbe field is estimated at f 50.000 a month.
