CHINA BEOS FOR AID,
Helpless Against Ruailan Occupation ol
Mukden, Manchuria.
IVkln, Nov. 4. Tin- Chinese gov
ernment Ih greatly (llaturbed at the.
reoiiciipallon of Mukden, the taplttl
of Maiicburla, by Kusslun troops. The
foreign office la appealing to friendly
foreign legations for help and advlec,
admitting Its own lielpleHsness In the
matter.
The communication relating to Muk
(leu Is as follows:
"The Russians employed a notel
brigand, who was accused of many
crimes agulnst the Chinese, as chl-.-f
of one of the Irregular bands of no
tice that are organizing In Manchur
ia. The authorities repeatedly r-i-(iiiealetl
the surrender of this man,
and the Kussians recently eonaentji
to give him up.
"Thereupon a C'hlneae officer decap
itated the brigand without giving him
n trial. When this became known,
the Kussians demanded the execution
of this officer within live days, glvlni?
as an alternative the seizure of Muk
den. "The Chinese foreign office was ie
gotlatlng with Paul I.casar, the Ku
alan Minister, on the matter, and of
fered to banish the officer, pleading
that he had exceeded his Instructions.,
and to remove the taotal, his super
ior, from office.
"There was a misunderstanding as
to Ihe time limit set for these negoti
ations, The Chinese thought It ex
pired yesterday. Hefore the negoti
ations were completed the news wes
received here that Russia bad ful
filled her promise to reoecupy MuK
den." NEXT STEP IN ALASKA CASE.
Negotiations Will Be Commenced for a
Survey ol the Boundary .
VashingtonTNov4. John W. Fos
ter. BKent for the United States before
Ihe Alaskan boundary Commission.
Las arrived In Washington, bringing
Ihe official text of the commission's
HmliiiKs and all the records of the
American case. General Foster had
an Interview with Secretary Hay lu
further explanation of the actual re
sults obtained In London and later lu
the day dined with the President.
Cpon the delivery of Ihe findings
together with C.eneral Foster's own re
port within a few days. Secretary Hay
will enter Into negotiations with the
British Government for the appoint
ment of expert surveyors to mark the
lines of the boundary as they have
been described by the commission.
The findings of the commission, as
they will be deposited In the state de
partment, bear the signature of the
American commissioners. Lord Alver
stotie and the American Secretary.
Contrary to the common Impression.
Canadian charts will be used as a
basis of the survey work. It appears,
according to General Foster, that the
Canadians spent an enormous sum nf
money In Ihe preparation of their case
and the work of their cartographers,
being very much more extensive and
elaborate than that produced as part
of the American case, was accepted by
the commission as the standard.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
RUSH TO MOUNT RASTUS.
Phonollte Find la Attracting a Oreat
Many prospectors.
Ilaker City fieorge B. Small has re
turned from the new Mount Kastux
mining district. He says that there
are fully 300 people in the camp at
present, ami hundreds more are on the
mini going in. Men of experience from
Cripple Creek, Colo., told Mr. Small
tiiat the phoiioiite found in the new
camp resembled in every particular the
pbonolite found in ( ripple Creek. Mr.
Small says that if the value are there
it is Urn ml to be a rich camp, an the
ledge are all right. A Uiwnsite has
been selected ami surveyors are busy
laying it out into city lot. Purchas
ers of town lots are numerous.
Claims in good localities sell readily
t) the latecomers who have money.
The country where the phonolite is
found extends from IH to 20 miles.
l'rosxsctors are busy bunting ledges.
Within 30 days at the present rate of
increase there will I from 3,000 to 5,-
000 men in the new district. Men to
do axxescment work are in great de
mand. Mot all the men who go in
are eager to find and locate claims for
themselves snd have no time or incli
nation to work for any one else. TP"
SELL TUB LAND IN A LUMP.
Most of Klamath Marab Will Then be
Reclaimed.
Salem State Treasurre Moore is of
the opinion that the proper plan for
the'state to pursue in disposing of its
lands on Klamath marsh, should the
state tinally acipure them, is to sell
the entire tract in a lump to the- high
est bidder. lie believes this is advisa
ble for the reason that if the tract is
cut np and sold to various crons it
will be impossible to unite the several
interests in any enterprise looking to
the reclamation of the land. In order
to make the land of value to its own
ers, it must i drained, and toe same
work that drain part of it will drain
practically all of it. If it be sold in
small tracts, a part of the purchasers
can sit back and do nothing, leaving
the more enterprising to bear the ex
pense of draining the marsh, while 'all
would share in the lssnefltn. Under
such circumstances, it il doubtful
whether any one would undertake the
reclummation work and also whether
there would l purchasers for any but
the t?st of the swamp land.
Nlbley Buya Timber Holdings.
Pendleton A deed lias been filed
with the conntv recorder wherebv J.
D. Casey and wife sold a half interest
in their timber holdings, located on the
Blue mountains in the vicinity of
Meachem, to C. V. Nibley for 15,000.
It comprises tract of about 1,000 acres.
This is one of the largest timber deali
that has been recorded for some time.
Mr. Xiblev is given nearly 10 years in
which to remove the timber. He is
also given the right to establish saw
mills and other necessarv machinery
and transportation lines on the proper
ty, to he used in carrying away the pro
ducts.
Y Knterprist Kiddle brothers of Is
land City are receiving S,000 head of
togs at different points in Wallowa
count v. About 400 of the number are
fat hogs, while the balance are feed
ers, which they will drive to Island
City and intermediate points to fatten.
The price paid was four cents for feed
ers and four and one half cents for fat
hogs. The price of wheat and all other
grains is so high in thi county this fall
that the farmers are selling off their
stock of hogs rather than feed them
ami take chances.
He Buys Two Large Tracts.
Fendleton At an aggregate cost of
vS,T00, Nets P. Johnson of Weston has
purchased two pieces of property repre
senting nearly 000 acres. The tirst
purchase was made from Henrv 1 mk-
erton. The property consisted of 79
acres, and was bought for 2,000. The
land is situated near Weston. The sec
ond piece of property is located near
Milton and consists of a turn t 000 acres
and was bought for $0,700, from
Charles . ye.
How tit Raises Big Crops.
Oregon City George Randall, a
farmer residing near New Era, report
a yield of 150 bushels of potatoes per
sere from a ten-acre field. The pota
toes are of the Burba nk variety and
above the average size. Mr. Randall
arounts for his success in growing this
vegetable from the fact that he does
not seetl the same ground to this crop
for two or more sucessive seasons. He
raises a crop of potatoes only- about
every four years from the same field.
To Exploit Clackamas Mines.
Oregon City In the organisation to
day of the Ogle Mountain Mining com
pany, the initial steps have been taken
for the development of the Ogle creek
mining section in Clackamas county.
With a capital stock of $1,000,000, the
corporation has been launched by the
following named incorportaors: P. A.
and John B. Fairclouph, of Oregon
City; J. V. llarless, of Molalla, and F.
D. Keppey, of Portland..
Making Sugar at La Orande.
La O ramie Th sugar beet factory
in this city has already received 10,000
tons of beets, and lias worked up about
7,000 tons of these, which will make
1(1,500 sacks of sugar. There will be
about 1 ,000 more ton ftf beet snd the
factory will ion until about November
10.
REACHING FOR 0RB0ON CITY.
City and Suburban Leases Roadbed From
Southern Pacific.
Oregon City Residents of Clackamas
say that negotiations have Is-en con
cluded by which the Cty A Suburban
railway company, of Portland, has
leased from the Southern Pacific com
pany the railroad bed of that cortra
tion between Willslmrg anil Clacka
mas. There has for many months
been rumors of such a ileal, and the an
nouncement of its consummation cause
much speculation locally. The feasi
bility of such an arrangement is recog
nized since it is known that the South
ern Pacific company has taken the pre
liminary steps to construct another
road tied by which its west side trains
may reach Portland from the east side,
the Wiliamatte river to be crossed at
Oswego. From that point the route ol
the road will be northerly connecting
with the main line at Willsburg. An
other line will extend from the Oswego
crossing point tip the river joining the
main lijie just below this city. In this
way the railroad company proposes to
avoid the existing heavy grades l
tween this city and Willsburg, and at
the same time shorten the route by four
miles. The old line is to, Ih? used for
local trains while the heavy traffic will
be transferred to the new line.
OREAT aUTCHERY AT ONTARIO.
Enough Sale?aa Can Be Propogated
There to Keep L'p Supply.
Salem Thi new state salmon hatch
ery at Ontario is the largest of its kind
in the United States and perhaps in
the world, says state treasurer C. S.
Moore. The State Treasurer and Sec
retary of State Dunbar have just re
turned from an official visit to Ontario,
where they inspected the new hatch
ery. They report everything in satis
factory condition and feel confident of
a good season's work. A large number
of fish have been taken and a good sup
ply of eggs seems certain.
"The new hatchery lias a capacity of
40,000,000 young fry a year," says Mr.
Moore, "which is greater than the ca
pacity of all the other hatcheries in
the state combined. We believe that
the problem of keeping up the supply
of salmon has been solved and that
this will lie clearly demonstrated in
four or five years when the product of
this hatchery begins to come back to
the Colmubia river. Cannerymeii say
that only about 1,000,000 salmon a
year are taken in the Columbia. If
only one in every 20 of the fish we
turn out at Ontario should come back,
we would have enough to keep up the
supply."
Lamp Is of Iron.
Oregon Citv It. now enia an aa.
sured fact that the huge lump of iron
found on a farm near this city recently
is a meteor. An assay has been made,
and it is found to lie nearly pure iron,
with a trace of nickel. It is excessive
ly tough, and broke several hack-saw
blades in efforts to cut off small pieces.
The meteor is estimated to weich
about 25 tons. The object had nearly
buried itself in the ground and lias ap
parently been there for vears. When
struck with a metallic substance it
rings like a bell .
Fruit la Orand Ronde Valley.
La Grande Fruit picking and pack
ing in the Grand Ronde valley is at its
height. The Cove, which is about the
best fruit producing section of the val
ley, is shiping apples, prunes and pears
in large quantities. The prune harvest
is exceptionally large. Seven carloads
have been shipped from the Cove al

THANKSUIVINO DAY SET.
Preildent Issues a Proclamation Fixing
November 26 as ths Time
Washington, Nov, 3. The presi
dent today issued his annual Thanks
giving proclamation in the following
terms:
By the President of the United
States of America A Proclamation:
"The season is at hand when, ac
cording to the customs of our people,
it falls upon the president to appoint
a day of praise and thanksgiving to
Ood. During the last year, the Lord
has dealt bountifully with us, giving
us peace at borne and abroad, and ths
chance for our citizens to work for
their welfare unhindered by war,
famine or plague. It behooves us not
only to rejoice greatly because of
what has been given us, but to ac
cept it with a solemn sense of respon
sibility, realizing that under heaven
it rests with ourselves to show that
we are worthy to use aright what has
thus been entrusted to our care.
"In no other place, and at no other
time, has the experiment of go?ern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people been tried on so vast
a scale as here in our own country in
the opening years or the twentieth
century. Failure would not only be
a dreadful thing for all mankind, for
it would mean loss of hopes for all
who believe in the power and the
righteousness of liberty.
".Therefore, in thanking Ood for the
mercies extended to us in the past.
we beseech Him that He may not
withhold them in the future, and our
hearts may be aroused to war stead
fastly for good and against all forces
of evil, public and private. We pray
for strength and light, so that In the
coming years we may, with cleanli
ness, fearlessness and wisdom, do
our allotted work on earth In such
manner as to show that w-e are not al
together unworthy of the blessings
we have received.
"Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roos
cvelta President of the United States,
do hereby designate as a day of gen
eral thanksgiving, the 26th of the
coming November, and do recommend
that throughout the land people cease
from their wonted occupations, and
in their several homes and places of
worship render thanks to Almighty
God for his manifold mercies.
"In witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
"Done at the City of Washington,
this 31st day of October, in the year
of our Lord, one thousand nine hun
dred and three, and of the independ
ence of the United States the one
mndred and twenty-eight.
"THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
"By the President:
"JOHN HAY, Secretary of State."
DEATH IN CRASH.
Train Carrying Football Hosts Wrecked
and Fifteen Persons Killed.
Indianapolis, Nov. 3. Fifteen per
sons were killed and 51 Injured, some
aftally. at 10:20 today in a collision
between a special passenger train on
the Big Four Railroad, and a freight
engine with a cut of coal cars. The
accident happened in the edge of this
city. The passenger train of 12
coaches was carrying 954 persons.
nearly all of whom were students of
Perdue University nnd their friends
from Lafayette to Indianapolis for
the annual football game between
Purdue team and the Indiana Uni
versity squad for the state champion
ship, which was to have been fought
this afternoon.
In the first coach back of the en
gine were the Purdue football team
sutplayers and managers. Three
players, the assistant coach, trainer
ami seven subplayers of the univers
ity were killed, and every one of the
53 persons in the car were either
fatally or Beriously injured.
From the 12 coaches were coming
the joyous cries of a thousand rooters
trained to the hour, on whon hopes
colors streaming, while In the front
coach sat 20 great muscular fellows,
trained to hour, on whom the hopes
of a grilliant victory on the gTidiron
were confidently placed. Rounding a
curve at the Eighteenth-street cut.
Engineer W. H. Schumaker found di
rectly in front of him the freight en
gine and coal cars moving slowly
from a switch leading to a gravel pit.
He reversed his engine and jumped.
The crash hurled the passenger en
gine and three front coaches against
the steel freight cars loaded with
coal, that plowed their way through
and buried under a pile of wreckage
weighing many tons fully 60 human
beings.
The first car, in which were the
players, was completely demolished,
the roof being torn away and falling
across a car of coal, while the body of
the car was reduced to kindling wood
against the side of the steel freight
cars. The second coach, containing a
brass band, was partly telescoped, and
the third coach was overturned and
hurled down a 15-foot embankment.
The other coaches did not leave the
track.
