Portland, Oct. 3. Dr. David T. Day, chief of the division of milling and mineral resources of the United Htate Ueological survey, announces that his experiment with black rands at the Lewis and Clark exposition have been eminently succesaful. Dr. Day says the black sand totind in the vicinity of the mouth of the Columbia river la of suffi cient value to warrant it being concen trated, aa It contains valuable minerals that will average not leas than $ 7 per ton. The experiment carried on in the concentrating pavilion at the expo sition proved that a ton of the black sands taken from the Columbia river will average 1 5 In magnetite, or Iron. nd 'i in other minerals. He says the exact value of the gold and platinum ban not been determined as yet, but that the iron alone makes it valuable enough to pay the cost of transporta tion and then leave a splendid prollt. Dr. Day baa been experimenting th these black sands for some time. He says the extent of the sand Malt radically unlimited, and that in seme laces they have been found to be 70 feet in depth. Humph have been taken from tbe surface sands and from the bottom of the beds, and the rich mineral always shows up when the and is concentrated. He says tbe ieeiier the sand is obtained the richer it is in minerals. DRIVEN BY CLUBS. Martinique Workmen for Canal Com pelled to Land at Colon. Colon. Oct. 3. Six hundred and fifty laborers from Martinique, brought here Friday on tbe trench steamer er saillea, under contract to woik on the canal, lefused to disembark or to sub mit to vaccination, which is imperative under the American sanitary regula tinns.- They clamored to be taken back to Martiniuqe, asserting that they had been misinformed as to the conditions here before they embarked, and that later they learned theae conditions were intolerable and deadly. Yeaterday morning, however, BOO of them were with difficulty persuaded to land, and these were sent to points alonit the line of the canal. One bun dred and fifty remained on board and declined to leave the ship under any consideration. These were forcibly elected from the vessel this afternoon bv Panama and Canal tone policemen, but not until nearly every one oi tnem had been clubbed and several were bleeding from ugly wounds. All yesterday and last night tbe er saille waa guarded by Panama police men. Early this morning the French consul at Colon, M. Bonhenry, ap pealed to the men to listen to reason, explaining that they bad left Martin ique under contract witn xne uanai xone emigration agent, nuaraoieeuin the payment of their passage here, and that while working on the canal they would have, in addition to their wages, the guarantee of free quarters and free medical attendance. ARMY STORES BURN. Temporary Buildings Contained Mil lion of Dollar' Worth of Goods. Tokio, Oct. 3. A flie which broke out in an army storebouse at Hiro shima at 1 o'clock and continued for over three hours, destroyed 20 tempo rary buildings, together with their con. tents, consisting principally of provis ions and clothing. The cause of the Are ia beins investigated. A lame portion of the clotbing bad been removed from a new storehouse before the fire. The extent of the dam age ia believed to be comparatively aliirht. There was no loss of hie. A later telegram irom ltiroenima said that the fire was still burning at t o'clock thia afteruoon. In addition to the 20 buildings, several others filled with fodder were destroyed. Although Uie buildings were constructed of light material, they contained an enormous amount of Btored goods, and the struc ture being of inflammable nature, the Haines were diihcult to extinguish, ae- spile the desperate eflorta of tbe troops The fire was discovered at 1 o'clock, and spread with great rapidity. It was probably of incendiary origin. 1 lie loss is variously estimated at irom 000,000 to 5,000,000. Older Than Aztec Monarchy Mexico City, Oct. 3. Exploration made at an old Toltec pyramid on the Maimevitoa hacienda, in tbe slate ol Puubla, have disclosed the fact that the tructure was built of clay bncxs.wnicn proves it to be far older than the Axtec monarchy, and possiuiy oiuereveu innu the Toltec occupation of the country Several elaborately carved figures were found remesenting men in Chinese dross and with marked Chinese figure Antlniinriana aie much puxxled, lor the evidence point to Chinese settle. nient in Mexico in the past ages.

It is officially an nonnced that the Grand Trunk Pacific has given an order for $4,000,000 worth of ateel rails to the Dominion Iron & Steel company, of Sidney, B. C. The contract calls for tho delivery ol the rails within five years OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST LET FOR TWO YEARS. Oregon' Convict Labor Qoe to the Slov Foundry People. Balem An agreement baa beer reached between Governor Chamberlain and the Loewenberg-Going company foi the leasing of convict labor at tbe peni tentiary for a period of two year. Tht price to be paid for labor ia the aaroi that baa prevailed in tbe past, but sev eral change have been made in tbi contract in other particulars. Because there ia a popular desire that convict be employed on tbe pub lic roads, in wLich desire Governoi Chamberlain joins, and because tht last legislature authorized the appoint ment of a commission to investigaW tbe subject and report to the next legis lature, the governor refused to make contract now for the leasing of convict labor for more than two years. In sistence upon the shorter period madi it impossible to secure a bigber pner than has been paid in tbe past cent per hour for each man. The new contract require tbe stovi foundry proprietors to employ not lest than 150 men a day, whereaa the min imum number heretofore haa been 100 There are now 390 prisoner In thi penitentiary. About 100 of these an employed on the farm, in the stables. in the kitchen, and on otber work con nected with the management of tbe in stitution. This leaves 2D0 to be oiner ise employed. The foundry will now take not less than ISO, leaving 140 out of employment. At many times thi foundry will employ more than 160 but this number must be paid lor, ever though not worked. What to do with the 140 idle men u now the problem. A few of tbem cat be employed on tbe public roads neai Salem onder a co-operative arrange ment with the connty court, and s gang will be put at work grubbing oui piece of state land on tbe iteiorn. school iarm. Thia will still leavi some idle. Drobablr. at many times ol the year. Wasco to Cultivate Hopa. The Dalles Wasco county will, it u expected, in a few year become thi banner bOD producing county oi int state. This season a number ol farm era have been experimenting in hoi culture with satisfactory result. Thi hops they have produced are ol an ex eel lent quality and the yield is ver) large. So auccsefut has been tbe ex periment that a number of farmers an now contemplating putting oui largi yard next season and engaging in tht business of hop raising on an extensivt scale. There are thousands of acres in the countv suitable for bop fields, at the bops thrive wtihout irrigation and will do well on almost any ot toe up land that is sheltered from wind. Quality la Perfect. Salem While it is yet too early ti make accurate statements of tbe yield of bops in Marion county this year, timates by men in tbe beet position u judge are that the total yield will be in the ne ahborhood ol 37 .000 bales, lot Quality will be perfect. In about week, when the work ol baling is iar ther advanced, a fairly accurate state ment of tbe actual yield can be madi and tbe samples will show the qnality Growers are showing little disposition to sell at present prices, but it is be lieved that 15 cents a pound woulr cause rapid selling. Lane County Estimate More. Eugene The best estimate that can be made at the present time ol tut amount of the bop crop of this county is not considered much more tban iruesB, although it it based upon reporU from a largo number of growers. Even among thoee who are best posted then ia a large variation in estimates, iuen 11 lie at east 1.600 bales more thai- last year, which would make 7.50U bales, but some estimate as high as 8, 000. No better figures will be availa ble until a poll ia made after the baling is completed. Yield and Quality Better. Oregon City The curing and baling of Uie boo crop in this county hat iiard v progressed suniciently to war rant an accurate estimate as to tin yield, lu the aggregate, however, th v eld bv reason ot tbe increased acre age, will exceed that of last year, tht quality will be materially better. With the exception ol a lew yaros, the product will surpass in quantity that of last year, while the qualityill be far better than that of 1904. Firat Snow Fatla In Bourne. Sumpter Tbe mountaineers report the first snow of the season. In the highlands surrounding Bourne light falls have occurred in tbe early morn ings. The ground has been covered, but the snow haa always disappeared before noon. Old citixena, who take pride in the weather knowledge, say that the very warm and dry summer that has Just died will be followed by an unusually severe winter. Douglas Crop Increased. Boseburg This year's hop crop In Douglas county will approximate 800 bales. The quality is good. No sale are reported, as growers expect prices to rise somewhat. Benton County's Yield. Corvallis The estimated yield hop in this.viclnity is 1,410 bales. of FORFEIT TO STATE. About 810,000 Paid on School Land Lost to Buyer. Salem Certificate of sale for a total 20,000 acres of state school land have been cancelled in the last few weeks, because of lapse in the payment installments within the required time. Of this aggregate amount ol land, 7,000 acres is in the limits ol the proposed Blue mountain forest re serve, and, according to tbe rulings of tbe Interior department, the state will be able to use the land a base for tbe selection of lieu land. The original purchasers of the land have forfeited the payments made, amounting probably to $10,000 or more, and the state baa tbe land to tell again. Much of the land outside tbe reserve will probably not be salable for some time, as tbe state baa raised tbe price to $2.50 an acre. The 7,000 acres inside the reserve should find a market as base for lieu land, at $5 an acre. A large ' proportion of the certiflates that have been canceled were among those secured by violation of the law governing the purchase of state school and. Prosecution of land fraud cases has scared many of tbe holders of cer tificates fraudulently obtained, and they have thought best quietly to drop tbe whole transaction, forfeit what ihey have paid and let the State keep the land. Adopt Early Closing. Eugene Forty-seven business men of Eugene who have closed their shops and stores at no regular bour in toe vening have signed an agreement to close hereafter each evening except Saturday at 6 o'clock. The list in eludes hardware stores, gun stores, grocery stores and places in other lines of business, many of wBich have never closed before 9 o'clock. The dry goods stores bare heretofore cloeed at 6 and most of tbe grocery stores at 7, but now there will be a uniform bour for clos ing. Getting Ready for Primaries. Salem Secretary of Sate Dunbar has begun to make preparations for tbe gen eral primary elections to be beld in this state in April 20. The petitions of all candidates for state and district offices must be filed with the secretary of state by April 1, in order to have a place on the official ballot. It will re quire at least 60 days for each candi date or bis friends to secure tne neces sary names aod prepare the petitions required by law. Many Students Enrolled. Corvallis The attendance in the Oregon Agricultural college promises to cross the 700 mark early in the year, and many believe it will reach 800. Hop fields, fruit harvest snd the Lewis and Clark fair have laid claim on many, so that the enrollment has bsen delayed. During the opening week 627 reported for duty, and tbe registration is steadily progressing. Making Beet Sugar. La Grande With 125 men at work in tbe beet sugar factory and fully 400 more at work in the fields, the yield in sugar this season is expected to be about 25.000 tons.

Manila, Oct. 2 New of th mag nitude of last week's typhoon continues lowly to filter from the interior, bnt specific details are as yet bard to ob tain, owing to the fact that telegraphic service baa been paralyzed and it will be many days before tbe wires are re stored to their former state of useful ness. It is certain, however, that tho earlier reports of the loss of life have been underestimated, and when the facts are known the full list of dead will run well into the thousands. But it I not tbe dead that are the chief sufferers, inasmuch as the de struction of thousands upon thousands of native huts has been followed by a period of what approaches actual star vation of the survivors, and it will re quire prompt action on the part of tho authorities to relieve thoee in distress. Tbe damage to crops cannot be esti mated, bnt will run well into tbe hun dreds of thousands of dollars. This is a most serious blow, inasmuch as tbe last season has been the first when the agricultural workera have been in s po sition to do their utmost with their land, and they had buit great hopes on the outcome. WRIGHT WILL RESIGN. Taft Reports Unfavorably on Hia Gov ernment of Philippines. ' San Francisco, Oct. 2. The opinion has been expressed by prominent mem bers of tbe Taft party while in San Francisco tbe other day that General James F. Smith, who ia on tbe Snpreme bench of the Philippines, will likely be soon the governor of the Philippine islands. The good reason for their belief is that Luke E.
