COL NT Y, OREGON 19OS NO NEW TREATIES. READY TO TRY AGAIN. Announced in Connection With King Edward's Visit to Russia. Peary Is Anxious to Start for North Pole by July I. OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST London, June 10.—Foreign Secre tary Grey’s announcement in the house of commons that no negotia tions for new treaties would be in itiated during the king's visit put an end to talk of a probable triple alli ance between France, Russia and Great Britain, but it did not affect the hope of those Englishmen who are desirous for closer relations between these three powers that important diplomatic consequences will result from the meeting in Russia yesterday of King1 Edward and Emperor Nich olas and their respective foreign ad visers. No secret is made of the fact that the presence of Sir Charles Hardingc and M. Oswolsky at Reval is fiar the purpose of discussing questions that have arisen out of the convention which put an end tot he recrimina tions between Russia and Great Britain over Persia and Tibet and Afghanistan, more particularly the present unsatisfactory state of affairs in Persia. > The good effects of this agreement already have been shown in the speedy ending of the threatening frontier war on the Indian border, a situation which in the old days of suspicion and enmity' between Great Britain and Russia might have led to an Afghan war. Following so soon upon the visit to England of President Fallieres of France it is hard to disabuse the pub lic mind of the feeling that King Ed ward’s trip to Reval has also some re lation to European affairs and as an actual alliance is considered impos sible at present, serious thought is be ing given the suggestion that this ex change of visits signifies that Great Britain’s policy in Europe in the fu ture will follow closely that of the dual alliance between France and Russia. The foreign office says that too much significance must not be at tached to this visit, but this is the usual official policy during such nego tiations. Cdrrupt Practices Act Restricts Can didates' Acts. Big Vat Erected for Ure Cayuses. Salem__ The adoption of the corrupt practices act by the people at the elec tion June 1 will make the next political campaign a vastly different one from those which have been seeu iu Oregon in the last few years. For one thing, the advertising plan of making a campaign, which Senator Bourne made popular in Oregon, will be less extensively used in the future. Two features of the corrupt practices act will tend to accomplish this end— one a limitation on expenditures, and the other a requirement that paid ad vertising be so marked. Undoubtedly the measure will have a salutory effect in purifying elections, though some ot' its provisions seem unnecessarily se vere. Publicity in the matter of campaign expenditures is one of the most import ant requirements of the law, and here after it will be necessary for candidates and party managers to keep an account ot all expenses and file it within 15 days after the primary or general elec tion, showing contributions to cam paign funds and the purposes for which all money was spent. Candidates are permitted to use one page of a pamphlet to be issued by the state for the pur pose of giving the voters information concerning them, each candidate to pay for the space occupied, and in excess of that each candidate may spend in a primary campaign 15 per cent of one year’s salary, and in a general cam- pign 10 per cent of one year’s salary, though any candidate may spend a« much as $100 if the percentage should be less than that. A candidate for governor will hereafter be limited to an expenditure of $750 in a primary campaign and $500 in a general cam paign. ________ Pendleton.—Every horse in Uma tilla county that has the mange must be rounded up and dipped. This is the edict issued by State Veterinarian Kornick. who has been here for a couple <»f days in conference with Dr. S. \\. McClure, head of the federal bureau of animal industry in the northwest. In order to eradicate the mange, which is so prevalent among the hundreds of Indian horses on the eservation, the government inspectors stationed here have just completed arrangements for dipping every cav- the Umatilla reservati whether infected or not. \ great vat has been constructed lie ;r the site of the old agency, and for several days the reds have been engagefl in the task of rounding up their ponies. County Inspector Bry ant started out Tuesday to make a tour of the county, and every white man > horse found to be infected will be taken to the reservation dipping vat . nd given a bath, the owner being charged the nominal sum of 50 cents. The order on the part of the state veterinarian was issued at the in stance of Dr. McClure, who insisted that it was little short of folly to clean tip the reservation horses when those of the adjoining ranchers were in many cases just as bad. ST. PAUL NOT BADLY HURT. Lower Prices for Wool. DIP ALL MANGY CAYUSES. TO PURIFY CAMPAIGN. Pendleton.—The second and last Little 'Damage Done to Roadbed bs wool sale were as follows: William Slusher's clip. 150.000 pounds, sold to Montana Floods. Butte, Mont.. June 10.—R. A. Har low. vice-president in Montana of the St. Paul, said little damage was done to the Montana roadbed, but that he believed considerable damage was done east of Saratoff and that it will be four days before traffic is re sumed. Northern Pacific officials have no idea when they will resume service westward and there is no change in the Great Northern. The Northern Pacific tracks east of Butte are open, though the railroad company is still having consideraba trouble with rock slides in the moun tains near the continental divide. A number of stalled trains of the east arrived yesterday and departed south over the Oregon Short Line bound for the coast via the Oregon Railway & Navigation Line. General Manager Gillie of the Amalgamated Copper Company said yesterday that the damage to the Boston & Montana smelters at Great Falls is not so heavy as was first thought; that so soon as ore can be shipped the Boston & Montana mines here will resume. COREANS BUTCHERED. Japanese Troops Kill 113 Insurgents Within Four Days. Tokio, June 10.—A dispatch from Seoul dated yesterday (June 9) re ceived at army headquarters reports that from June 3 to June 7 the gov ernment troops had twenty-six en gagements with the insurgents. In these engagement 113 insurgents were killed and twenty-five taken prisoners The recent transfers of Corean cab inet ministers were due to the fact that during a conference of provincial governors a number of cases of negli gence of the -overnors Jo present the actual facts concerning the attitude of the Corean government towards the insurgents were overlooked, also neglect in failing to correct false and malicious reports concerning Japanese policy, thus tacitly encouraging the insurrection. In consequence the minister of agriculture was trans ferred to the home department, and yesterday the new home minister an nounced the removal of seven provin cial governors, showing a determina tion to effect many sweeping changes in local officials. May Reveal Big Deals. New York. June 10.—The extent to which the great European banking house of Rothschilds was interested in the merger of the transportation lines in New York City may be dis closed in the municipal court, prob ably June 19. Walter I.uttzen. confi dential adviser to August Belmont, who was called as a witness yesterday tn the «pit in connection with a deal in Metropolitan stock, was ordered to appear again on June 19 and produce all the correspondence the Belmont firm had exchanged with the Roths childs bearing upon the merger.

Pack Fruit in Brewery. T .a Grande.—The Roesch brewery of this city, one of the largest plants of the kind in Eastern Oregon, will be closed July 1 as a result of the pro hibition vote at the recent election. Plans are already on foot to convert the brewery into a fruit packing and storage warehouse, it is located con venient to the O. R. & N. depot and is a large and well arranged building and is well adapted to tile purpose. Julius Roesch, proprietor of the brew ery, is one of the pioneer brewers of the state and lias accumulated a for tune here in the business. However, the increasing fruit culture in this vi cinity will not allow his building to remain idle long after the prohibition law goes into effect. by Umatilla INCREASE PENDLETON PLANT. Wisconsin Company Negotiating for Woolen Mills. Pendleton.—Agents of the Racine wo. len mills, of Racine, Wisconsin, are here looking over the Pendleton woolen mills with a view of purchas ing them and making them a part of the great Racine industry. It is pro posed to employ at least 200 men and women in the plant and to increase the capacity by more than three times and make it the biggest woolen mill in. the northwest. Pendleton, being on a main line of transportation and in the heart of the sheep, district, has been selected as the most favorable location for the branch of the Racine industry. , If purchased the mill will be de voted exclusively to the manufacture of high grade Indian robes, blankets nd similar lines of goods. Klamath Should Yield Oil. Klamath Falls.— A. I., Darrow. cashier of the Fort Sutter National bank of Sacramento, who is heavily interested in Klamath realty, has re turned from a 200 mile drive over the Klamath basin and states that indi cations point strongly to sections of Poe ami I.angcll valleys being great oil producing districts. Mr Darrow has been in past years connected with the Standard Oil company and speaks from experience. The Klamath Oil company will sink experimental wells this spring. _ ______ New York, June 9.—Confident of s ability to carry the stars and stripes to the north pole, Commander Robert E. Peary, who has planted the American flag nearer the coveted northern goal than any other living man, is in New York making active preparations for another Arctic dash in the hope of solving the mystery of the north, which for centuries has been the aim of daring explorers. The stanch steamer Roosevelt, which the Peary Arctic Club built for Com mander Peary, and which carried him and his little party on his last north ward journey, has been overhauled and put in better condition than ever for her expected battles with the ice barriers of the frozen north. The ship is tugging at her hawsers in the harbor of New York, ready to start when her commander gives the word. Peary’s present plans contemplate his departure from New York about July 1, but lack of sufficient funds to finance the expedition may prevent the start. In fact, unless $25,000 is forthcoming by July the project will have to be abandoned. An auxiliary ship or collier will accompany the Roosevelt as far north as Etah, where Peary’s coal depot in the last expe- dition was located. Etah was the winter quarters of Dr. Hayes’ last ex pedition and is located about 70 de grees north latitude. A small party of sportsmen and scientists may go north as far as Etah on the auxiliary ship, returning with her about Sep tember 1. Commander Peary has devoted nearly 20 years to efforts to solve the great problems of the north and already has put into the work all of his personal means, amounting to $80,000. ROAD AGAIN BLOCKED. Month May be Required to Replace Montana Railroad Lines. Butte, Mont., June 9.—The North ern Pacific east from Butte is again tied up by a new washout of 600 feet of track near Jefferson Island, a small station in the Jefferson River Valley, about 60 miles from Butte. Two steel trestles on the Great Northern are reported as having gone out, near Basin, 35 miles north of Butte, add ing to the demoralization of that road. Great Northern Railway officials will not venture an opinion as to when normal conditions will be re stored, one official stating that in his belief a month's time would he nec essary to put the Montana line of the Northern Pacific in proper condition. The (ireat Northern telegraphic serv ice is completely demoralized, and the officials fear they have yet to learn of the real magnitude of the destruction wrought by the flood waters. The barometer is higher than for several weeks. This would indicate warmer weather and with that the rapid melting of the snows ui the mountains. As there uj '„ is lying from three to four feet of snow in the mountains it is fearell the rush of waters will add to the damage already done. KANSAS GITY FLOOD Entire Lower Section oí City Is Under-Water. EIGHT RAILROADS ARE TIED DP Convention Hall Now Shelters 15,000 Homeless People Worst Be- lievedjto be Over. Kansas City. June 11—All calcula tions of the weather bureau and river experts as to the duration and extent of the flood at the junction of the Kaw and Missouri rivers were upset yesterday by the continued rise of the Missouri river, due to heavy rains in Dakota and Nebraska. At 5 P. M. the Missouri river was 27.2 feet above low water, a rise of .2 since noon, The Kaw has overflowed most of the railroad yards, the stockyards and the residence and manufacturing dis trict of Armourdale Ten feet of wa ter is running through Kansas avenue, the main street of Armourdale. I he flood is the highest since that of 1903, but the water is more than seven feet lower than in that year. Eight lines out of Kansas City are now tied up. Convention Hall has been opened to shelter refugees At least 15.000 persons have been driven from their homes. 1 he overflow is bound to cause trouble east of here as far as St. Louis, it is predicted, as it reaches into the Mississippi and north along the banks of the Missouri as far as Omaha. Mines and Smelter Closed. Butte. Mont. June 11 A dispatch to the Miner from Great Falls states that tile electrolytic smelter of the Boston & Montana, one of the Amal gamated Copper Company’s mines, will be closed down for two months, during which time the Boston & Mon tana mines in Butte will remain closed unless arrangements can be made to handle the ore of the company at Anaconda. Five thousand men are affected by the shut-down. The road between Great Falls anil Helena, it is said, will not be repaired within two months I he only method of travel out of Great Falls at the present time is by stage. Great Northern is Clear. Spokane. Wash., June 11 -Great Northern officials announced yester day that the whole main line is clear and ready for traffic between St Paul and Seattle. The Montana Central branch is still tied up. Further washouts have occurred on the North ern Pacific west of Missoula, and that city cannot be reached from the west before tomorrow at best.
