PROTEkT IS FILED.
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

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aas not prepared, having withdrawn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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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
