Colombia Hold That America Vitiated Existing Treaties. Umdoii, Nov. JH.The Colombian authorities have cabled tojLondon a long protest against the United 8tates' action toward Panama, in which they allege the "main responsibility for the secession of Panama lies with the l.'uited Htates government, firstly hy fomenting the separatist spirit, of which there seems to be clear evidence secondly, by hastily acknowledging the itmetienileiice oi the revolted province and, finally, by preventing the Colom man government from using projie means to repress the rebellion." The cable message goes on to say Urn President Marrrspiin has energetically protestiKi to tne t nited Mates, an wishes thai bis protest should Ire know throughout the civilized world. The president contends that the I'nitef Stales has infringed article 35 of the treaty of 1 84(1, which, he asserts, im plie the duty on the t.art of the United Slates to help Colombia in maintaining her sovereignty over the isthmus, anc ail.ls that the "( olomlnan governmen repudiates the assumption that they nave harrol the wav t carrying on tne canal. lie asserts that since 1 835 thev have granted canal privileges to differen (K'ople no less than nine times, and claims that the treaty concluded with the late licneral Hurlburt, when he was minister at Jtogota, July 18, 1870, has heen ignored at Washington. After giving the previously slab! reasons tor the t obmibian senate's fail nre to approve the Hav-Herran treatv and asserting that the delay in negotia turns had not allccted the ultimate issue of the canal project, the protest of I'res- Mem .Marr.sitiin points out that Colom bia hud "constantly endeavored to act ui a friendly manner with the I nited Slates, even asking for the assistance of the American marines to insure fiee transit across the isthmus," savs the ising occurred when the government aas not prepared, having withdrawn most of its troops when peace was re established last year, and concludes: "The baHiness in recognizing the new government, which sprung up tin ner tne circumstances, is all tne more surprising to the Colombian govern ment, as thev recollict the energetic opposition of Washington to the ack nowledgment of the belligerency of the Confederates by. the powers during the t ivil ar. HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON CAIN SUOAIt QAINS. Increase la Output Much Qrtater Thaa Bret Produt t. Washington, Nov. 18. The depart. ni. 'lit of agriculture, in its official crot report for November, announces that the indications are that the world has entered on a new era in the production f cane sugar. The department quotes estimates placing the total sugar pro duction of the world in the year 1003-4 at 10,4'JS,800 tons of 2240 Kundseach, including 4,342,800 tons of cane sugar and 11,083,000 tons of lreet sugar, and says as to cane sugar: 'During the past five years the world's output of this product has in creased from 3,000,000 to more than 1,000,000 tons, quantitatively the greatest increase ever made in any five year eriod in the history of this in- Itistrv. Moreover, for the ftrst time in a half century the ratio of increase in the world's production of cane sugar has exceeded that of sugar made from leets, the percentage of increase in the f.iriner product for the five years being about that of the latter. 'The four vears from 1900-01 to 1H03-04, inclusive, wore each in ih turn record-breaking years for the pro- luctioii of sugar. The previous high record crop (3,530,000 tons) was that f lH',14-115, the crop made just liefore the outbreak of the revolut. n in the most important producer Cuba. 'The high-record crop in the history of the world's beet sugar production was that of l!H)2-03. Since that date there has been a decline in production in Kuropc, amounting in all to about 1,000,000 tons, but the present year s estimated output still shows a consider able increase over that of five years ago." The report says that almut 80 per cut ol tne cane sugar oi me worm is now annually piodueed in tropical and semi-tropical islands. New Lku Land BUI. Washington, Nov. 18. In line with lis liolief, as repeatedly expressed tn bis annual reports, while commissioner of the general land office, Congressman Hermann has introduced a bill to amend the lieu land exchange law by providing that whatever lands within forest reservations are relinquished to the government Bad other vacant sur veyed public lands are taken in ex change therefor, the lands so selected must lie of approximately the same character and the same value as the lands relinquished to the government. Forty Years a King. Copenhagen, Nov. 18. Fetes were held throughout lVnmark today in honor of the 40th anniversary of King Christian! amission to the throne, the population rendering homage to their aged and beloved sovereign. Thous ands of telegrams and addresses of con gratulations as well as gifts and flow ers have been received, many of the messages of congratulation coming from the United States under cabled instruc tions from Washintgon. Opening of Wlju. Pekin, Nor. 18. The demand of the United States government for the open ing of Wijtt has leen received here with surprise. The ltritish and Japan ese 'ministers at -Seoul on October 17 asked for the opening of Yongampho. The foreign minister consented, subject to the approval ol the emperor, which wai withheld. OREOON IRRIGATION CONVENTION. Second Seialon, Htld at Pendleton, Full of Enthusiasm. Pendleton "Interest In Irrigation has Increased the biblical ten-fold during the past year," said President A, H. Devera concerning the session of the second annual convention of the Oregon Slate Irrigation Assoc. a tion. "We had an entbuaiastlc meeting Id Portland a year ago, but we had i determined meeting here this year.' Delegates to the number of about ISO were here from all over the state. Ontario sent a delegation of 25 tne.ra bers for the purpose of capturing the 1904 convention. They wore badges inscribed, "Ontario, 1904." The con vention hall was crowded and every speech brought forth discussion. President Devers, in his opening ad dress said, regarding the attacks of thi press: "I want to say that, while some of the papers libeled the association by saying that they have accomplished but little, I know that, if it has done nothing more. It has called the atten tlon of the government to the fact that we want irrigation, that we need Irrigation works, and while no proj ects are yet completed, I know that some will be announced soon. Fur ther than that, at the last session of the legislature a resolution was pass ed requiring the governor to appoint commission to investigate the state laws on Irrigation, riparian rights and kindred questions, and the governor has appointed the commission. Fur ther than that, the coming together of people interested in the welfare of he state, particularly as applied to lr Igatlon. I sthe means of arounsingghe people up as to the necessity of Irri nation, and that Is the most import int thing, and the meeting which we have today shows that Interest is not 'acklng." Other addresses were delivered by Jovernor Chamberlain. ex-Governor Geer. Mayor Halley. Judge Lowell, A King Wilson, and Will R. King. OREOON MINES (IAIN. Output of the Precious Metals on the In. crease In Our State. Washington. D. C. Compared with ther states in the west, and with Alaska as well, Oregon made a most creditable showing, proportionately, with its gold production in 1901, ac- tording to reports that have been re ceived by the director of the mint The official report on Oregon's gold lutptit was prepared by F. A. W ing. issayer at the government assay of fice at Seattle. By way of Introduc tion Mr. Wing says: By a thorough and systematic method of checking the receipts of bullion and ores originating in Ore on, deposited and shipped to the sev eral assay offices, mints, smelters and refineries of the United States and British Columbia, the output of 1901 was found to be as follows: Ounces. Value. Gold 88.759 I1.834.SJ1 Silver 163.873 211.87 The copper output was valued at 14103 and the lead at $1631. making total valuation of $2,052,433. There was a gnin of $146,257 in the output for the year over that of 1900. notwithstanding the fact that some of the mines were closed down for part or all of the year, some for the pur pose of installing new sinking plants or other machinery, some from labor troubles some on account of the lack of ore. and other causes. The production of 1901 is given as follows: Value. Gold $1,727,892 Silver 170.721 Copper 3,416 Lead 4.145 Work on the Bill Nye. Medford The owners of the Bill N'ye mine, located on Gall's creek. about ten miles north ot Medford, are making preparations for mining on a large scale. A nve stamp mill, hoist ing machinery, etc., are being install ed. The company has an 80-foot shaft, a good deal of tunneling and other de velopment work on the claim. The ore is free .milling and there are sev eral thousand dollars worth of gold n sight. Superintendent D R. An- drus, of this city, left recently for the mine, to look after the installation of he new plant. Machinery tor Bohemia. . Cottage Grove The mining ma- hlnery for the Crystal Consolidated Mining Company has arrived from the Union Iron Works, San Francisco. and was immediately transferred to tracks of the Oregon A Southeast ern Railroad for shipment to Bohem ia. This .mnchlnery conslsta of the latest and most improved pattern in stamp-milling machinery. When com pleted the mill will have a capacity of 25 tons per day. A high-grade standard concentrator will be used In connection with the mill. Marvelous Vein of Gold. Wolf Creek E. E. Blalock has struck a ledge on his mining claim on Cayote creek which. It Is claimed. ssayed $27,000 per ton. In It he found a stringer of aolid gold, from which he has taken out about $25,000. nd still continues with the same width. It is rumored that he placed guard over it night and day. The ledge Is said to be wedge shape?), peaked on top, and widens In depth. SLOW MARKET FOR STOCK. In Sillers and Buyer an at Variance Heppncr Neighborhood. Heppner The livestock Industry here, while not suffering, does not present a very encouraging outlook. Between cattle and sheep the condi tions are about a stand-off. Owing to the extreme backward demand and scarcity of buyers, which are usually plentiful at thig time of year, very few transactions are reported. While a few sheep sales have oc curred, the business has been con fined principally to local people. Out side buyers and owners have not been able to agree on prices. Owners are determined in holding for $1.50 ner head for lambs and $2 per head for yeaning wethers. Farther in the in terior, in Grant and Wheeler counties, where shipping facilities are not so good, the conditions are even worse than they are here. A grant county sheepman was In Heppner a few days ago looking for buyer for his lambs. Two Wheeler county cattlemen were in Heppner last week. They brought in 52 head of choice beef cat tle, which had been sold to a local butcher at Greshara. Thev renort that, in a eeneral war. the market la bad In the Spray country. Little de mand and the abrence of hovers Is the general complaint. In the vicin ity of Spray, there are a great many yearlings for sale. The best offers have been $15 per head, while the owners are holding for $16. For the same cattlo this spring owners were offered $18. but then they were holding. for $20. In the vicinity of Spray the Gllman French cattle, consisting of 6000 head are ranged. In the great alfalfa feeriine district on Butter creek, there are 1000 less attle being fed this vpar than loor The fact that hay is selling for $8 per ton In the stack is the principal cause for this. EXCEfDS ITS CAPACITY. Coos Bay capacity of Coos Bay handle 10.- eggs." said Deputy A. Webster, who has Hatchery Will Handle Ten Million Eggs. Oregon City -With a only 6.000.000 eggs, the Hatchery will this vear wu.uuo salmon Fish Warden H. lust returned from a visit to the Jtate"s salmon fishery interests in hp Southern and Coast districts of the naie. 1 his Increase in the nninni nr the station at Coos, says Mr. Webster, is due to a change in the manner of operating the plant. Racks were in stalled this year that withstood the freshets and permitted a continuous catch of salmon, while last vear the catch aggregated only 3.500.000 eggs. The surplus in this year's catch is be ng deposited in the bed of Coos river sfter the eggs have impregnated. Mr. Webster also visited the state's sal mon interests at Yaouina Al spa and Sluslaw and reports an unusually good run of silverside salmon this fall. He lso found the hatcheries making a good showing, the catches equaling, if not excelling;. th can.icitv of the different plants. Unknown Sayings Burled Sine 200 A. D. Dlicovtrcd la Egypt. London, Nov. 17. Many hitherto unknown sayings of Jesus Christ have been discovered in Kgypt by archeolo gists, who have dug up papyri burled since the second century, 100 miles south of Cairo. Dr. Bernard P.

The l,lfc .l. documents from the one mound con sisted of a collection of aainn. l Jesus. They are all introduced with the words, "Jesus saitb," and for the most part are new. The ends of the lines, unfortunately, are oftpn ,.KHA.. a ted.

Dr. tiranfcl remarked that enormnna interest would be also discoveries on account of the variation! they disclosed from accepted texts One variation of the mvstical saying re corder! in St. Luke, "The Kingdom of (od is w ithin you." was of great value, as the saying in the papyrus appeared in quite different surroundings from those attributed to it by the, evangelist and extended far into another region. MINERS QET HIQMER PAY. Northern Colorado Operators' Offer Al most Sure to End Strike. Louisville, Col., Nov. 1 7. Reoreawn. tatives of the miners of the north coal district and the operators reached a sausiactory conclusion at an early hour this morning, after being in con ference for nine hours, and in conao. quence the mines will without doubt resume otierations at once. The matter will have to be referred to the various unions of the district for a referendum vote tonight, and the vote will h counted tomorrow. It is believed the agreement will be ratified with . prac tical unanimity. President Struby, of the Northern coal and toke company, acted as chair man of the meeting and made the fol lowing proposition: "To settle the existing strike in the northern lignite field, the operators in that field offer to resume work on an eight-hour basis, with the understand ing that if the miners lose the present strike against the southern Colorado field, or if said oiKrators shall not ac cept an eight-hour day, the miners will go back to the hours prevailing before the strike." He also announced the wage scale w hich the Northern coal and coke com pany was willing to pay, and which was an increase of about 10 per cent. It is stated the change will necessi tate an increase in the price of lignite owl. Forty Cattle Were Killed.
