ROYAL PALACE OF
QUAKE KILLS 63
IN MEXICO CITY.
Most Disastrous That Has Oc
curred in Past 20 Years.
Many Soldiers and Women Perish in
Falling Barracks No Ameri- "
cans Injured.
Mexico City, June 8. Mexico's cap
ital today is a city of sorrow. Build
ings and streets gaily garbed in pre
parations for great rejoicing at the
advent of Liberator Madero, the city's
people are mourning those who died
in the chaos wrought by the most dis
astrous earthquake that has been ex
perienced in Mexico in 20 years.
So far the death toll has been estab
lished as 63 souls, but it is believed
that a more complete search of the
ruins wilt increase this number con
siderably. Seventy-five are known to
be injured and this also probably will
be increased when the full details are
known.
The loss to property is estimated at
$50,000 gold. No property of Ameri
cans was damaged.
Of the dead only one person, a Chin
ese, is a 'oreigner. More than half
of the dead are soldiers, the worst
effects of the shock being felt in that
section of the city near the Mexican
Central station where also stand the
artillery barracks.
Another place where the earthquake
took its toll of death in considerable
numbers was at the power plant of
the street railway company. Here
six were killed and six wounded. Two
others were found in debris, consist
ing partly of steel rails, which had
been stored in the iron and wood de
partments, and which collapsed. The
victims are inhabitants of little 9hacks
built beside the structure.
With these two exceptions, the
death list was made up of single
cases, and in some instances of two or
three, caught beneath falling walls in
the poorer buildings of the district
most seriously affected.
It was 4 :46 o'clock when the first
shock was felt. According to the
meteorological observatory, the great
est intensity was reached at the end of
the first minute, but the instruments
continued to record the shocks for
four minutes more.

building and its contents is said to
have been more than $1,000,000. It
was sold by order of a referee in bank

Ex Member of Duma Warns That
Celestial Kingdom Will Be
come Powerful Factor.
Victoria Russia continues her ro
erclve policy toward China, but the
latter emplie Is making a show of
resistance, according to newspaH-rs
brought by the Kmpress of Japan
It Is understood Russia will soon oc
cupy Klldja. The Toklo Vomlurl says
that although China has conceded to
Russia the demands regarding 111.
promises made In the treaty have
been unfulfilled, and Russia has de
termined to send an armed force to
111 and Instead of undertaking fu
ther negotiations, dispatched a note
to Pekln giving the reason for oc
cupying the territory.
The Japanese paper says this step
was decided upon by Russian War
Minister Siikhomllkoff after Inter
views with officials In Russian Asia
"From the fact that the Russian
authorities continue to dispatch troops
to the It usso China frontiers. It Is
tti be feared that the situation may
assume a serious asect at any time,''
says the Yamlutl.
An order for compulsory training
by Russian residents of the maritime
provinces has been Issued by the
military governor, all residents who
have not served with the colors be
ing ordered to train. Mr. Cochkoff,

paring to re.slst. (in his ai rival at
Vladivostok Mr. Cuclikorf Joined with
the governor-general and other offl
dais In a confeience with the war
minister to discuss the situation.
Mr. Cuchkoff savs that China is
making rapid progress anil In ten
years will become the most powerful
country In the Far Kasl. ami a con
flict with Russia Is Inevitable sooner
or later.
That China's attitude toward for
eign Intervention Is becoming boldT
Is evident from Tientsin dispatches,
which say that Chao Khr llsun. the
new viceroy of Manchuria, has de.
termined to station six army divisions
in .Manchuria and to begin construc
tion of the Klnchou Algun railroad,
to which Japan ami Russia objected
strongly some time ago.
A portion of the new loan will be
devoted to thlit work and to making
a free port at Llenshan, on the (lulf
of Pechill.

the lines for social betterment was
the slogan sounded by President. Hom
er Folks, of New York, in formally
opening the eighth annual national

of taxation for social purposes and of
regulation of industry for social ends,
we may defeat our own purposes," he
was in favor of "full speed ahead."

INDUSTRIAL DEVKIjOPMENT AND

UMATILLA CROPS ROSEA 1 E.
Farmers Btdirv. 6.00O.0OO-Bush.l
Record Wdl Be Surpassed.
Pendleton With the wl't '
thousands .if fields just beginning to
head and with the promise of addition
al showers. Lmatillii county farmers
are freely predicting the greatest har
vest the county ever had. r'rom "
sections of the county and regarding
all kinds of grain the same re.rU are
being received. All say they never
saw the prospects brighter.
It is said that the normal crop of 5.
MUO.OIIO bushels of wheat will he har
vested even though there should be
no more rain between now and har
vest, bile many say that l:'"7's rec
ord yield of ti.ooo.mio biishcU will
easily be surpassed if the normal
umoiinl of rainfall comes during June
Premier stands of fall wheal were
never seen than arc now to he found
in any direction from Pendleton, while
the May rains have brought the spring
grain out until a good clop is assured.
A peculiar feature of this year's fall
sown grain is that It is heading out us
early as the barley, which usually pre
cedes it I'V a week or two. The har
vesting of the two crops will there
fore probably start simultaneously.
BUYS GYPSUM LAND'
St. Louis Company Said to Contem
plate Plant in Eastern Baker.
Baker The Acuma Cement com
pany of St. Louis, Mo., has purchased
.1,(100 acres of gypsum deposit land
near Huntington and will erect a plant
of JoO ton daily capacity on the Bu
chanan spur of the Northwestern rail
mad. The plant will cost upwards
of $100,000 and w ill employ several
hundred men. The land was pur
chased from Major John H. Aitkin of
Portland, J. B. Hannon and II. C.
Northey of Huntington and John I..
Kami of this city. The St. Ixiuk peo
ple were intenwtisl in the proition
by Frank Nelson of Boise, Idaho, who
negotiated the sale of the pnqicrty
and brought alsiut the closing of the
deal.
The gypsum industry is fast becom
ing imairtant in Baker county, along
w ith others being developed. The big
lime and cement plant, on the main
line of the O.-W. It. & N. east of this
city, is being increasi-d in capacity
all the time. The gypsum deposit
seem practically inexhaustible and of
high quality.
UMATILLA ALFALFA SHORT.
Mowing to Begin This Week-Later
Crops to Bs Heavy.
I'endlcton Crowers of alfalfa in
Umatilla county are preparing to har
vest the first crop of the season. The
song of the mower will be heard in
several fields this week but it will lie
alsiut ten day yet In-fore the hurvest
is in Cull blast.
According to most of the growers in
the Vicinity of Pendleton, the first
cVop w ill be about per cent short
this year. This is due to the excep
tionally chilly spring which retarded
the growth in most sections. The
shortage will be more than made up
by the increased acreage and by the
second and third crops which promise
to go alsive norms!.
State School Receives Presents,
Salem From the result of efforts
made by Multmonah Camp, No. 7",
Woodmen of the World, and the Arti
sans of Polk county, a new piano and
moving picture machine will be in

srhisil. When (iovernor West was at
the Woodmen reunion in Portland and

called it to the attention of the
lodges. The Woodmen immediately
raised $50 toward a piano and prom
ised that the balance would be forth
coming. The governor received a
telegram from II. S. Hudson, of Port
land, supreme master of the Artisans
informing him that the picture ma
chine had been purchased and awaits
the order of the governor.
