OREGON, FRIDAY,
COLD RAIL SNAPPED.
Colorado Flyer DIUbed While Running
Forty Mllea an Hour.
KanHH" City, Mo., Feb. 3. The Col
orado flyer on the Missouri Pacific rail
way wan derailed near Miller. Kan
today while running at Ihe rate of
miles an hour.
40
The engine and the" rear car, a Pull
man, alone remained upright on the
track. The hagguge car, mail car
smoker and a chair car were thrown in
to the ditch, turning over and were
badly shuttered. One iierson was
killed and 13 injured, one eeriously.
The wreck was caueed by the snap
ping ol a rail, due evidently to the se
vere cold weather of the past week
Physicians reached the scene promptl
and a relief train was hurried from Oia
watomie, starting east with the injured
during the afternoon.
At the time ol the accident the train
was two hours late and was making up
time. It bad no orders to stop
Miller and went by at full speed, being
derailed on the outskirts of the town
The engine and tender paused over the
defective rail safely.
The front trucks of the mail car
jumped the track and crashed into
freight car on a siding. The baggage
car followed, punned trie man car at
right angles across the track and both
the forward cars served to block the
smoker. The chair car following the
smoker partially telescoped the smoker
and the latter was rendered into kindl
ing wood. The 1'ulln an remained on
the track and aidde from a severe ebak
ing up the pasrtcngcrs in that car were
uninjured.
TIPS TRAIN OVER.
aale Cauata Wreck lu Colorado la Which
Five People are Hurt.
Denver, Feb. 3. A special to the
News from Idaho Hpringi, Colo., says
A passenger train on the Colorado A
Southern railroad, which left Denver
this morning for Georgetown, was
wrecked by a gale, two coaches and
combination baggage and express car
being blown over and badly damaged
The engine and tender remained on the
track. Four of the train crew and one
passenger were injured.
The train had come to a standstill
about 1,500 feet from the station in
Georgetown, being unable to proceed
further because of the wind. While
wailing for the w ind to subside, the cars
were lifted from the rails by the wind,
and forced over on their side. The
tiaswngcre and crew were thrown with
great force against the sides of the cars
but were able to cseape through the
doors and w indows.
It was several hours beiore the news
of the accident could be'sent to Denver,
as the telephone and telegraph wires
were prostrated bv the wind. A spec
ial relief train, sent from the latter
citv, encountered poles and wires
strewn over the track in many places
and with dilliculty reached its destina
tion. The severely injured were taken
to a hospital in Georgetown for treat
ment.
MANY PBRI5H ON DESERT.
Bodlca ol a Score 'ol Mea Found
Sands lu Nevada.
on tbt
Salt Lake, Feb. 3. The bodies of be
tween 20 and 30 men, who perished
from thirst while attempting to cross
the desert between Moapa and Loe
Vegas, Nev., have been found within a
tew weeks, according to advices re
ceived from the latter place.
The men, it is believed, were mostly
tramps who attempted to make the
long journey on foot without sufficient
supplies ol fixxl and water to carry
them acrops. Manv of the bodies found
were without clothing, and it is be
lieved that the victims had gone insane
from thirst and bud wandered about in
a nude condition in search of water.
Borne of the victims are supposed to
have used water from "Dead Man's
Well," which is located almost in the
center of the desert. The water from
this well, while temporarily aleviating
thirst, is sure death to those who drink
it.
Jimlnei Has Lost All.
Washington, leb. 3. -According to
information received at the state de
partment, all the ports of Santo Do
mingo are now- in the possession of the
Morales provisional government, which
succeeded the government of General
Wos y Gil. The Jiminex revolution
seems to have been stamped out,
though there has been no diplomatic
recognition of the Morales government.
United States officials in Santo Domin
go have entered into relations with it,
this step being necessary for the protec
tion of commercial business.
For dreatcr Corps ol Engineers.
Washington, Feb. 3. Secretary Root
sent to the senate today a report of the
general staff relating to the increase of
the engineer corps of the armv, togeth
er with the draft of a bill whose passage
he recommends The bill proposes
that the corps of engineers, when in
creased, shall consist of one chief of en
gineers, with the rank of brigadier gen
eral; 12 tolonels; 18 lieutenant colon
els, 36 majors, 40 captains, 40 first lieu
tenants and 38 second lieutenants.
Mississippi Town Wiped Out.
Greenville, Miss., Feb. 3. Fire at
Hollendale destroyed every building in
the town except two dwellings; loss
1200,000. The fire started in a negro
restaurant and a high wind fanned the
flames to such proportions that the vol
unteer fire fighters could not stay its
progress.
VElllWAHY 5, 1J04.
HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
WITH BARK ON.
Big Fir Stick Sent to St. Loula to Re
produce Fort Clatsop.
Rainier The Wilson Cane lumber
company has shipped four cars of lorn
tier for the Oregon state building at the
St. Louie fair. The order is a peculiar
one in that the bark is left on one side
of each stick of timber.
Some of the timliers are 40 feet long
with two faces 10 inches wide and one
face 7,4 inches, while the fourth face
is round, with the bark still clinging
to it. The palirade timbers are 11
feet long, with one 10-inch and two
four-inch faces.
It requires 17,000 ftet of these elalis
to enclose the grounds around the
building. The building and enclosure
will be a reproduction of old Fort Clat
sop and the stockade surrounding the
fort.
This is probably the only consign
ment ol the kind ever shipjied from the
itate, and Mrr Lecper, the manager,
sayi that it will probably tie the lant
A great deal of trouble was experienced
in getting trees that were not too large
and that would run the same thickness
from which to cut the timbers, to give
the right curve on the round side
Another difficulty was experienced in
getting trees on w hich the bark was
still firm.
The sap is now np and the bark peels
off very readily. This is not common
ly the case, but this winter has been so
mild that the sap raised much earlier
than usual. It will be hard for St.
Louis people to understand that when
these trees were cut eightdegrees farth
er north than the city of St. I-ouis, and
in a country where the thermometer
has not registered zero in 40 years, and
while the weather was so warm here
that the sap in the trees was up on the
15th of January and at the same time
in bt. Louis the thermometer was ii
degrees below zero.
NOT ENOUUH FLAX RAISED.
MU Will Be Built When the Acreage
Reaches 1,000.
Salem Threshing flax seed out of
the straw and spreading the straw in
fields to rot is now in progress at Lu
gene Bonne's flax establishment at this
place. Twenty men are engaged at the
threshing house and 15 men and boys
are employed to spread the straw on
field just east of town. Two hundred
tons of straw will be spread out 'evenly
over 60 acres of land and left exposed
to the weather until it has rotted
enough for the scutching mill. It
will then tie put through a scutching
mill, which will turn out clean flax
fiber. The fiber will be stored away to
await the building of a linen mill.
The erection of a linen mill here in
the Willamette valley is delayed only
by the lack of a supply of fibre," said
Mr. Boese. "It won t do to bmld a
mill to run two or three months in the
ear. We must have enough fibre to
keep a mill running the year around.
That will take 4,000 acres of flax.
Whenever we can get that we will have
raw material enough to operate with
and a mill will be built."
Mr. Boese lias 260 acres of land
leased for flax raising purposes, and the
farmers of this vicinity will put in
about 100 acres more this season. Mr.
Bouse thinks the amount should be in
creased this year to 1,000 acres and in
a year or two increased to 4,000 acres.
Albany Mill. Start Up.
. Albany The Bannockburn woolen
mil company has started the big Al
bany woolen mills in operation. Work
was commenced on fine cloth for suit
inga. The mills had been idle for some
time and many men were thrown out
of employment thereby. When the
Bannockburn company purchased the
mills they were immediately leased to
the Oregon City company, which closed
the plant down at the end of three
months. Albany people were appre
hensive lest the mills would not be put
in operation again soon.
Telegraph to Wallowa.
Elgin Arrangements are about com
pleted for a telegraph line from here
Loatine. It will be used in connec
tion with the telephone wire. It will
worked on a duplex system, both
circuits being on one wire, and will tie
ireetly connected with the Western
Union office here. Residents of Wal
lowa county are now anxious for a rail
road. All freight hauling has to be
;one by wagons, and the roads are not
of the best.
Biggest Plant In the West.
Hiilsboro C. T. Rogers, of Detroit,
Mich., and one of the largest manu
facturers of condensed milk machinery,
has arrived here, and will superintend
the installation of the new machinery
for the big Hillsdioro plant. Mr. Rog
ers says that this plant will be the
largest west of the Mississippi river
and that no plant in the world will
have a more modern equipment.
Nugget Worth Forty Dollar.
Grants Pass A $40 nugget has been
brought in from the Jewell, Moore A
Hayes, placer on Oscar creek, This
mine is one of the most noted producers
ot heavy pieces in the entire mineral
Iistnct and Oscar creek, only a small
stream, has become widely famous for
the nuggets taken from it.
Opp Mine Resume Operation!.
Jacksonville The Opp mine, located
two miles west of Jacksonville, and
hich has boon idle for more than a
year, was started up last week by the
owner, J. W. Opp, and the mill is be
ing run day, night and Sunday on ore
that Is producing good values.
ORAIN AND FRUIT GIVE PROMIS8.
Jackson County Will Not Have Sufficient
Wheat, but Fruit la Plenty.
Jacksonville Report from all parts
of Jackson county are that the winter
wheat is in fine condition, both as to
stand and growth. The acreage for
this year ia more than twice that of last
year, yet so much wheat land has been
given over to orchard and alfalfa that
it ia certain there will not be enough
wheat in Rogue river valley this year
to supply the local demand, a con
dition that has prevailed for several
years past.
There is a large qnantity of alfalfa
hay yet held in the valley. The larger
nu in Iter of stockmen fear a hard winter
and a slight shortage in the crop last
season tempting the alfalfa growers to
hold for high nrices. The hay is now
$ 15 to )1H a ton, bnt may not go high
er, as the winter has been open and
stockmen have required but little hay
for their stock. From the amount of
seed being bandied bv local dealers,
the acreage of alfalfa will be increased
fully 20 per cent in this valley tbia
year.
Apple, tear, cherry, prune, peach
and almond trees are in fine condition
and the yield will be up to the usual
standard for Rogue river. The vine
yards are also in fine shape. The fruit
acreage o. Rogne river, while very
large, will be increased by this winter's
plantings fully 15 per cent, apples and
pears leading the list.
STOCK HAS WINTERED WELL.
Baker County Ha Had Very Favorable
Weather So Far.
Baker City Stockmen are congratu
lating themselves on their success in
wintering their sheep, horses and cat
tle so far this winter. The weather
has been very favorable. While it has
been cold there has been no severe
storms or blizzards.
Feed, while expensive, has been
plentiful. Most of the ranchers raised
their own bay, and while it is worth
big money, the cost to the rancher who
owns bis own hay land ia compara
tively light. The man who has to buy
hay to feed range stock is not so well
off this year.
Mile of Macadam Road.
Jacksonville The Jacksonville board
of trade has undertaken to secure the
building of a mile of macadam road on
that section of the Jacksonville-Medford
road from this place to the junction of
the Medford-Central joint roads. A
20-foot width turnpike will be thrown
up, the material for which w ill be grav
el from Jackson creek, the channel of
which adjoins this road. In removing
the gravel for the road a straight deep
channel will be made for the creek, to
prevent floods from injuring the road
way, aa has occurred.
Work on Irrigation Ditch.
Pendleton C. G. Morey, principal
of the Umatilla public schools, was in
Pendleton last week. He is authority
for the statement that 50 men are em
ployed on the irrigation ditch being
run from the Umatilla river, about a
mile above Umatilla, to a point of 15
miles or more below. The ditch is to
be run through the little town of Irri
gon, which has derived its name from
the first syllable of irrigation and the
last syllable of Oregon.

WAR IN A MONTH.
Colombia Determined to Have
Fore
on the Isthmus.
New York, Feb. 2. This cable di.
patch wag leceived here last night from
an official iotirce in Bogota, according
to the Sun:
"The government is helpleas in it
efforts to prevent war. In less than a
month from now 10,000 men will be on
the isthmus."
This information confirming rumor
cabled from Panama yesterday that Co
lombia intends organizing and (ending
an expedition against Panama, come
a a surprise, in view of the changed
attitude of the Colombians who had ap
parently accepted the inevitable and
depended on General Raphael Reyes,
the special envoy to Washington, to
save what be could from the wreck,
says the Sun.
General Reyes was to have sailed yes
terday for Barranquilla on the steamer
Valencia, but for the second time he
deferred bis departure. General Pedro
Nelispino and Dr. Lucas Cabellero, col
leagues of General Reyes on the Colom
bian mission, sailed on the Valencia.
The story continues:
On seemingly good authority it if
said that General Reyes temain here
because his negotiations with the state
department at Washington have not
been completely broken off and that he
has a tentative promise from this gov
ernment that Colombia wilt be token
care of with a pecuniary balm for her
Injured feelings.
No comments could be solicited from
General Reyes at the Hoffman house
last night on the threatening dispatch
from Bogota.
PRISON DAYS ENDED.
Mr. n brick, Held for Poisoning"
Her
Huabaad, Liberated.
London, Feb. 2. Lloyds Weekly
Newspapers says this morning that
Mrs. Florence Maybrick, the American
woman who was serving a life sentence
lor having poisoned her husband, was
released from Aylesbury female prison
at 6:45 o'clock on the morning of Janu
ary 25 on special license. Her moth
er, the paper says, had visited her 6at
nrday, January 23, and evidently was
the bearer of important news. The
governor of the prison on Sunday con
ferred with the prison officials with a
view to arranging for the departure ol
the prisoner, which was carried out
very quietly. Mrs. Maybrick, accom
panied by one of the prison matron,
entered a closed carriage and drove to
Aylesbury station, where she took
train for London. She drove from
Euston station and from there went to
a private house not far from the me
tropolis. She will remain there for a short
period in order to recuperate and to
await the completion of certain form
alities which will give her a freedom of
movement not allowed by persons on
ordinary ticket-of-leave.
Mrs. Maybrick, the paper continues,
during the last few months in prison
was employed in the lightest work, as
a reward for good conduct.
RUSSIA LEAVES IT TO JAPAN.
War I Said to Depend Entirely en
Two
Eventualities.
Paris, Feb. 2. It is understood here
in beet informed diplomatic circles that
Russia's reply to Japan will be concil
iatory, but will differ in no essential
manner from her attitude already de
clared. The French government has been
informed of every step taken by Russia
in reaching a decision, but the full ten
or of her reply has not yet reached the
foreign office. The Gaulois quotes
higher authority as follows:
"Russia will not declare war "unless
she is attacked by Japan. This is the
will of the czar and the fundamental
base upon which negotiation will be
continued. At St. Petersburg it is be
lieved Japan, despite her beligerent
attitude appreciates the madness of en
gaging in war.
Russia is ready to give satisfaction
to the legitimate claims of the Japan
ese on the condition that her interests
are safeguarded. At this hour war de
pends upon two eventualities, an attack
by Japan or a local incident in Core
necessitating military intervention."
No (fold Coin In Vault.
Washington, Feb. 2. For the first
time in many years the treasury finds
itself without any gold coin in its
vaults. It is explained that this con
dition is the result of an unprecedented
demand for gold certificates during the
time when the mints have been fully
employed in coining Philippine silver
and subsidiary silver for the United
States. The increased demand for gold
certificates which could only be issued
for gold coin in the treasury came
about through the needs of the large
banking institutions.
Wants Canteen In Use.
Washington, Feb. 2. Rear Admiral
R. D. Evans, commander in chief of
the Asiatic squadron, writes to the
navy department that desertions in bis
command have been reduced to a mini
mum. He says the worst drawback to
discipline has been the excessive use of
alcoholic drinks. Admiral Evans
recommends the establishment of can
teens in the navy, where beer and light
wine may be sold to the men. to be
taken with their meals.
