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,

moat wholly to labor diaputet.
"The lockout in the building trade
of Manhattan and Bronx borough of

According to the bulletin, immigra

"Pronperity is to widely diffueed,"
aayt the bulletin, "that the aervant-

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

317,817. Two claims, amounting to
1 118, 250, were withdrawn, and one of
f 55, 000, for the closing of navigation
ol the river Catatumbo, the Colom
bian boundary, and the cauting thereby
of lofses to German traders, was disal
lowed by tbe umpire, General G.
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.

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.

tering sales at low prices. About 150

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.
The unsettled conditions in the min
ing industry are due to the failure of
tbe legislature to enat .i.u i
law applying to mines, mills and smelt

adopted a constitutional amendment
authorizing such an enactment An

TO PROTECT WEAK NATIONS.
McVeagnc, tor Venezuela, Holds This Is
th Spirit ol the Hagaa Court.
The Hasne. Oct. B A r tha u.i..
of today's session of the Venezuelan ar-
Duration court, Muravieff, tbe presid
ing officer, read telegrams, from Queen
Wilhelmina and tha mar tk.nbin- k.
court for its good wishes to them at the
primary sitting.
The court announced that It hut
cided that biiefs and other documents
should be delivered before October 18,
and that replies should be handed in
by November 22. The ccurt will bear
tne arguments of counsel November 4.
Wayne MacVeagh opened today in
behalf of Venezuela. He said that the
only question of international law in
volved was whether strong powers in
extorting money by aggressive and ego
tistic war from a weaker power, have
tbe right of preferential treatment as a
recompense for their action, or whether
ail creditor nations sthall share equal
ly. The spirit of The Hague conven
tion, Mr. MacVeagh contended, was to
protect tbe weak against the strong.
