The British i;overiiiiictit is allow ing an intercut in the fute of the bondn iiirmed by Colum bin and t ken up by foreigners, montly liritinb uioJ Dutch holders. Mr HnikcH, tho British churge here, had a half hour's talk today with Secretary liny nt the lla e department, and it ia believed this subject wua touched upon. The (Hioition of the department in brief in that it cannot dictate to the new republic of Pjninna what dispo nition rihall be made of the money which in to be paid over by the United tati. in conmderution of canal right, but it certainly holds it ia only right and just that Panama, in concluding a treaty of (x-ace with Colombia, shall make provision for the anaumption of a fair chare of the national debt. Bo it is expected the moral force of the de partment will be put forth in this di reel ion. Tlie state department has not yet lieen informed oflicially of the result of (icucral Reyes' mission to the ist mil. It is lielieved here that the i :incipal purMe of the visit of General Reyet is to try to effect an adjustment of his country's troubles bv securing for the Colombian government Home share of the money which the L nitcd States, under the new treaty, will pay to Pan ama. WANT CUBA TO WAIT. Senate Leader Agrtt to Defer Vote on Reciprocity. Washington, Nov. 25. The Repub lican and Ilemocrntic leaders of the senate were in conference much of the time todiiy over the question of fixing a time for a vote on the Cuban reci procity bill, and, so far aa they were empowered to do so, entered into an agreement to take the final vote on De cember 1", ot a little more than a week titer the convening of the regular ses lion of congress. There was no oppor tunity to consult tome of the Demo cratic senators who desire to speak on the bill, but it is not doubted that they will as-cut to the arrangement. The treaty for the cession of the island of Pines to Oil was today fav orably ucted upon by the senate com mittee on foreign relations, and it will lie favorably reported to the senate at the next executive session. The senate committee on foreign re lations today authorized a favorable re port on the bill giving effect to the Cuban reciprocity treaty. EVERY COUNTRY AT FAIR.

Grants Pass Never were the proe pect of a railroad from Grant Past tonthward, through Josephine and th southern counties of this ttate, and Del Norte county, California, connecting with tli line being built north to Jr.u reka, at bright at at the present time. For several months railroad talk haa been at a low ebb in Southern Oregon, especially that pertaining to the pro posed Oregon & Pacific, but recently it hat been revived, and in a way that give promise of something definite be. ing done. This road would open up a large and rich mining section. There haa been organized in San Francisco, and incorporated in Cali fornia, a concern known at the Cali fornia A Oregon Coast railroad com pany. It it organized with a capital stock of $1,000,000, and several influ ential men are behind the enterprise, among them being John liarth, of Mil waukee; B. V. Thomas, of New York; J. O. B. Gunn, T. W. M. Draper, H. H. Laidlaw and M. 8. Wilson of San Francisco. The purpose of the newly organized company ia to build a line of railroad from Granta Pass to Eureka, Cal., or rather to tome point on Humboldt bay The new company absorbs the old Ore gon dc Pacific, and is more extenaivejn itt scope thn the former company, as it wat the original intention to build X ,lint only from Grant Past to Crescent City, while the new road will extend on south, connecting with the northern built line to F.ureka, giving a new line from Granta Pass to San Franciaco. As has been previously stated, the survey for the proposed road ia com pleted, and grade stakes have been set over a large part of the proposed route. Right of way has also been secured for a greater part of the line. Grounds for sidings and stations have also been granted, and the company is ready to begin the actual construction of the road with the arrival of the spring months. FIRB AT TILLAMOOK. Courthouse Burned and Business Portion of the City Threatened. ' Tillamook A disastrous fire occurred here last week which entirely destroyed the courthouse of Tillamook county and seriously endangered the business portion of the city. When the fire was discovered the building w as entirely ablaze and to save it was impossible, but by the valiant work of the fire company and citizens many books and papers were saved from destruction. The entire contenta of tUe offices of the school superintendent and the county surveyor were lost, and most of the papers and books of the assessor's offices weie burned, although tht contents of the safe are thought to bt intact. This vear'a assessment roll wasl for tunately saved. Bills Vetoed fey Oovernor. Salem If a special session of the legislature should be called, other mat ters than the tax law must receive some attention. The governor t vetoes in the last session constitute a sort of "unfinished business" which must be taken up by the legislature when it next convenes. The governor said, af ter sending out his letter, that he did not intend to attempt to preclude action upon these vetoed measures, for the constitution particularly prescribes what course shall be pursued, and the governor could not prevent legislative action, even if he so desired. Attitude! la Union County. La Grande A complete survey of Union county has just been made by T. R. Berry, United States geological sur veyor, lias survey ueterminea the geological as well as the topographical formation of Union county. The alti tude of all the streams and feeders have been determined, at the source as well as at the mouth The highest point in I nion county is at the summit of Gran ite mountain, which is a little over 8,- 000 feet. Mount Fannie, above Cove, is 7,000 feet, and the lowest point is at the mouth of the Wallowa river, which is 2,535 feet. Carpenters ar Not to Be Had. Pendleton There is a scarcity of car penter in Pendleton. This is the sea son for repairing old buildings, but workmen cannot be secured. A num ber ot people are desirous of construct ing homes, but owing to the scarcity of sien and materials, it is not likely any new buildings will be started until spring. There are irom io to .'U ouua- ings under way, and carpenters are busy on all of them. It is estimated that there are fully 300 carpenters at work on new buildings in different parts of the city. Big Buy of Wheat at Pendleton. Pendleton W. S. Byers, the exten sive flour manufacturer, has purchased within the past few days 150,000 bush els of choice wheat for milling purposes, paying an average price of b7 cents. the wheat was purchased from a few large farmers, and as soon as the fact became known by local buyers the price immediately dropped to 64 cents. As a result of this transaction there Is lit tle doing just now in the local markets, and farmers will continue to hold. ' Pays $19,507 for Land. Pendleton A deed has been filed with the county recorder whereby Michael McCracker sold 2,000 acres of Manuel Pedro for $15,507. The prop erty it located several miles southwest of Pendleton. SNOW IN BLUE MOUNTAINS. Promts of Plenty ol WaUr for Next Year Big Pric for Haystack. Baker City More than three feet of snow has fallen in the mountains in this vicinity during the past few days. Such a heavy fall of snow this early in the season is unusual, and while it has its inconveniences, on the whole the people regard it as a favorable con dition, because it argues well for an abundant supply of water for mining and irrigation purposes next season. It will be hard on stock, especially shaep.on the ranges, but, as stockmen generally are prepared for a bad winter season, very little actual lost it antici pated Sheepmen were obliged, on account of the high price of hay, toaU a goodly portion of their sheep, and they are prepared to feed thoae they have on hand until spring. It is an ill wind that does not benefit some one, and in this instance the bay ranchman is the man w ho is gathering in the harvest. Hay ia bay, and will be until grass comes again. One rancher in this vicinity recently sold the hay in one big stack for $18, 000 cafeh. It was a big stack or rick, and there is several thousand tout of hay in the ttaci. WHISTLER LEAVES HARNEY. Reading of Water Oauget In Stream Will Be Kept Up All Winter. Burns John T. Whistler, engineer in charge of the work being conducted in Oregon by the reclamation service of the United States geological survey, has left for Pendleton. This will be his final visit to Harney county for the present year, as be will leave the state for Washington. D. O, in December, to take up the work of making a de tailed exposition of the present year's fieldwork in Oregon. Mr. Whistler has had three parties of engineers in the field in this state all summer, one of these parties having been engaged since June in Surveying the proposed reservoir site in Silvie's valley, and also in working out tht de tails of an irrigation system to carry water therefrom to the subjacent lands in Harney valley. The approach of bad weather has drawn the work for this year to a con clusion, with the exception that the reading of water gauges m the streams will be kept up without interruption. End Fruit Tret Shipping. Milton The season for shipping small fruit trees has closed. It is esti mated that 12,500 trees have been shipped out to all parts of the west, middle and eastern states during the past two weeks. About 10 cars have been shipped in the past 10 days. As the season was short this year, many of the smaller trees had to be expressed, as it would delay matters too long to send them by freight. Samuel Miller has one of the largest nurseries in East ern Oregon, and there are several fruit men who have small nurseries. Indorse the Assay Office. Baker Citv The Miners' association of Sumpter has passed resolutions adopting the action of Senator Mitchell in introducing a bill for the eatablish ment of a government assay office at Portland. The association of this citv. will endorse the movement for an assay office but will insist that it be located in this city. Representative Moody almost succeeded in securing tht pas sage of a bill for an assay office in this city at the last session of congress. PORTLAND MARKETS.
