JEFFRIES IS WHIPPED
BY COLORED CHAMPION
Reno, Nevada James J. Jeffries
was knocked out in tho fifteenth round
by Jack Johnson, colored, who n
becomes the world's champion.
Jeffries could not come back. This
was plain when the champion, tho man
who was once considered all powerful
and with none to dispute his right to
the title, sank down before Jack John
son, the most wonderful big man that
the prise ring has ever seen.
It waa In the fifteenth round of a
contest as unequal aa any ever seen, a
fight in which there was but one win
ncr from start to finish, that Johnson
put on the finishing touches, and after
knocking the helpless Jeffries down
three times, settled most decisviely the
question that brought some 14,000
spectators into Reno.
It was pitiful in a way, this van
quishing of the how of the white race,
the effort of a man to drag himself
back into athletic condition in order to
wrest bark to his own race the title
that he had relinquished. It was pi ti
ful, but the round after round of fight
ing In which Johnson handled the burly
Jeffries as he pleased, the stylo in
which he blocked every punch that the
erirtlv bear attempted to land, had
prepared the crowd for the ending that
was bound to follow.

SALMON THEORIES UPSET.
Fish Marked Six Years Ago Are
Caught in Traps.
Astoria Several of the well-estab-
ithed theories regarding the habits of
salmon are being upset by facts which
have come to light during the present
season.
It has always been supposed that
salmon returned to the river the fourth
year after being hatched, but this sea
son no less than 15 marked salmon,
which were turned out at the Chinook
hatchery six years ago, have been
caught in the Bakers bay traps. Re
ports from other points on the river
also are that five female salmon whfch
had spawned have been caught in the
traps, although it has always been sup
posed that the female fish perish im
mediately after having spawned.
These salmon were in latrly good
condition, so that they could not have
ascended to tho upper reaches of the
river and returned, and they are be-
ieved to have been salmon which had
snawned. perhaps prematurely, in some
of the tributaries of the Lower Colum
bia.
Cove Power Company Formed.
Prineville A company of Prine-
ville's strongest capitalists have filed
articles of incorporation with the coun
ty clerk here for the Cove Power com
pany. The purposes as set forth in
the articles of incorporation are the
generation of electric and water power;
to buy, sell and lease real estate and
nersonal orooertv: to own and operate
grist mills and buy and sell grain and
all kinds of feed stuffs.
The main office of the corporation
will be located at Prineville. The cap-
tal stock is fixed at $50,000, and ia
divided into 500 shares of equal value.
tiie majority of the stock will be taken
by Prineville capital. The officers of
the corporation are w. a. uooin, pres
ident; Warren Brown, secretory treas
urer and D. F. Stewart and G. M. Cor
nott are on the board of directors with
the president and secretary.
Inspect Irrigation Projects.
Sntem State Engineer Lewis will
make complete examination of various
projects which are being developed un
der the Carey act. He will be accom-
paned as far as Bend by Attorney uen-
eral A. M. Crawford. At Bend lurther
steps will be taken toward reviving
the old Columbia souinern project
Pmm there the state engineer will go
south to examine the work of the Des
chutes Land company project, wnicn
includes 30,000 acres. He will then
leave to make an examination of the
Paisley project of 12,000 acres.
Lebanon-Crabtree Work Progressing
Lebanon The grading and laying of
the track on the l,ebanon-craDiree
branch of the Southern Pacific cutoff
has been completed and the first train
has gone over the line. For the pres
ent all the trains running over tnis
new piece of road are work trains, dui
it is thought that regular trains will be
running by July 10. Tha bridge over
the Santiam river is not compieiea,
but the track is laid on piling. A
large force of men is at work ballasting.
Crabtree Branch Ready. '
Lebanon A work train and crew is
hallastinsr the road just across tne
river on the Lebanon-Crabtree branch.
tt u id th is train will continue tne
work dally until the entire road from
here to Crabtree is ballasted and put
in order for regular train service.
Trk lav nir has been compieiea,
thus closing the gap between Lebanon
and Crabtree, allowing work trains to
pass over the road. . As soon aa bal-wino-
is finished, a regular train ser
vice will be inaugurated.
Ballinger Decides State Entitled
Irrigation Money.
Washington Secretary Ballinger
after giving careful consideration to
appeals made to him by Representa
tives Ellis and Hawley before they
left for Oregon, has come to the con
clusion that Oregon is entitled to share
in the distribution of the $20,000,000
irrigation fund made available by con
gress just before adjournment, and it
now seems quite likely that extension
of the Umatilla project westward with
a view to irrigating 60,000 acres more,
will be authorized, and that part of
this fund will be allotted to begin con
struction.
Secretary Ballinger points out repeal
of section nine of the reclamation act,
which was permitted without protest
from Senators Bourne and Chamber
lain, relieves both the president and
himaelf of any obligation to apportion
further funds to Uregon at tbia time,
but personally the secretary believes
Oregon should be shown consideration,
particularly as it is the second heaviest
contributor to the reclamation fund,
and has never been given a square
deal by previous secretaries! the interior.
There are but two projects inJOre-
gon to which funds can be allotted, and
it Is certain Klamath can receive noth
ing.
Forest Fire Damages.
Marshfield A fire in the camp of
the Cody Lumber company on tho Co
quille river has done considerable dam
age. The fire was brought under con
trol but the logs which are now being
taken out show the damage the fire
did. There have been several forest
ties this year but this one was the most
damaging. It is believed by the lum
bermen and timber owners that the
county association which waa formed
will do much to protect the timber.
Try for Artesian Water.
Merrill The beginning of a big pro
ject for developing the Sand Hollow
dry land country has been started in
the transfer of E. G. Wilson's traction
engine to that section, to be used in
drilling for artesian water. It it be
lieved that a good supply of water can
be had at s moderate depth in that sec
tion, and if secured it means a big de
velopment for that locality.
Preserve 90 Tons of Cherries.!
Eugene The Eugene Fruitgrowers'
association has received another car
load of barrels in" which to store the
preserved Royal Ann cherry crop. As
each barrel will hold about 300 pounds
of fruit, it will mean that they will
handle about 180,000 pounds of cher
ries, or 90 tons.
Water System Nears Completion.
Newport Water will be running
into Newport in less than two weeks.
Engineer Lee, who has installed the
system, made the announcement. A
sewerage system will be installed im
mediately after the water is in use.
New Steel Bridge.
Enterprise The Troy steel bridge
is nearly ready for use. Work will
begin on the approaches this week.
The bridge is 175 feet long and 16 feet
wide, resting on concrete piers.

REAL REFORM FOR CONGO.
Plans of Many Organizations of World
, Go Into Effect.
Brussels Congo reform, for which
the governments, churches, missionary
societies and other organizations
throughout the large part of the civil
ized world have been working for be
came an accomplised fact July-1, when
the plans formulated by the Belgian
ministry of the colonies and approved
by King Albert became effective.
Simultaneously a large area of the
Congo region is opened to free com
merce.
ine reforms include the suppression
or polygamy, tne substitution oi na
tive for white officials, a reduction in
the taxes, which will be collected in
money, and not paid in labor, and the
restriction of obligatory labor on the
part of adults to the works dedicated
to the improvement of their own con
ditions.
The most vital feature of the reform
program is the provision for the sup
pression oi forced labor, a situation
which has rendered possible the terri
ble conditions which in the
roused the horror of the
world.
Under the Leopold regime the col
lection of taxes through labor instead
of money, enabled that monarch to
work hia immense rubber trade free of
expense. A quota of so much rubber.
in lieu of taxes, was demanded from
each village, an amount which would
require the labor of every adult in the
village virtually all of his or her time.
Failure to produce the allotted portion
at the required time was followed by
immediate punishment at the hands of
the black soldiers of the Congo govern
ment, consisting too frequently of
tortures, mutilation or death.

BEVERLY IS SUMMER CAPITAL
President Taft and Family Settled for
Hot Weather.
Beverly, Mass. With the arrival of
President Taft this city became the
summer capital" of the United
States. The president plana to spend
most of the summer at the pretty
homestead where members of his fam
ily have been installed for some time
past.
Few persons were at the station
when the president's train pulled in,
and there was no demonstration. Af
ter he had greeted Mrs. Taft and other
members of his family, who were
there to meet him, the president drove
to the summer White House.
In observance of Beverly's honor as
tne "summer capital ' of the nation,
American flags fluttered from all the
public buildings in the city, and from
many business blocks and private resi
dences. This waa the extent of the
observance, however, as it was at the
specific request of the president that
citizens made no plans for a formal
welcome.
Benefit French Working Girls.
Paris The decree of the ministry of
labor prohibiting night work on the
part of seamstresses, milliners and
other working girls, which became
effective July 1, marks a great for
ward step in the movement for the
amelioration of the condition of the
women workers of France. For many
years the sweating system has been
greatly abused in France, and especial
ly in Paris, where the employes in
many fashionable dressmaking and mil
linery establishments have often been
compelled to work until midnight dur
ing the busy season.
Packers Would Not Move.
Jefferson City, Mo. Packers charg
ed with combination in restraint of
trade in an ouster suit brought by At
torney General Major, filed a demurrer
asking.that the proceednigs be dis
missed. The demurrer alleges that the
facts stated. in the petition are not suf
ficient to form a cause for action. It
is contended that the alleged relations
between the parties to the suit, which
form a part of the cause of action, are
not properly stated in the petition,
The demurrer also contends that the
supreme court has no jurisdiction.
Passengers Dance; Ship Burns.
Philadelphia While the crew of the
liner Grecian were engaged in a race
with death by fire in the oil-laden hold
of the vessel, 80 passengers aboard the
vessel danced in the ship's saloon, ob
livious of the danger. The news of
the fire had been kept from the pass
engers, save only the plucky wife of
the captain, who volunteered to play
dance music for the passengers to pre
vent a panic. The fire was discovered at
midnight; the vessel arrived at dawn.
Biggest Battleship Yet.
London Chile has placed an order
with Armstrong, Whitworth & Co. for
the largest battleship in the world.
The vessel will be faster than any oth
er warship afloat. She will have a
tonnage of 82,000. Her guns will fire
shells as heavy as those used by 110
ton guns of 30 years ago.
Build Bigger Ocean Liners.
London The largest steamships
in the world are Boon to be built by the
Cunard Steamship company. Work
will start on the first ship within a
few weeks. The new liners will have
60,000 tonnage, or 15,000 tons more
than the White Star steamers Olympic
and Titanic, and 30,000 tons more
than the Lusitania and Mauretanla.
Kaiser's Yacht Wins Race.
