RED INTO A TRAIN
Italians Kill One Man and
Wound Two in Idaho.
UKUNKEN LABORER WAS THE CAUSE
TSncteeer Itefoaed to Surrender Men
to the Slob, end. a General
Fusillade Emned.
SPOKANE, Aug. S. "With the side of
bis head torn away with shot and a bul
let lodged In bis right shoulder, I. B.
Harlow lies at the Sacred Heart Hospital
with poor chances of recovery. He was
the victim of an assault at Hauser Junc
tion last night, and but for the timely In
terference of train hands would havo
been killed on the spot. His partner is
supposed to have been Tdlled by the same
mob of Italians who attacked Harlow,
and Section Foreman Martin Coleman has
en ugly gash In his wrist. None of the
Italians was injured as far as known.
Sheriff Bradbury, of Kootenai County,
Idaho, reached the scene of the fight at a
late hour last night, and has a score
of the Italians under arrest.
The fight was started by an alterca
tion between the section foreman and a
drunken Italian. The laborer stabbed the
foreman in the arm. Just then Harlow
and his partner appeared on the scene,
and took the foreman's side. They laid
out two of the Italians who had joined
their drunken associate. Then the Italians
retreated to their car and soon returned
with many willing assistants. They drove
the two young men upon a switch en
gine and opened fire on the train crew
because the latter refused to deliver Har
low and his friends Into their hands. En
gineer McGIUlvray was In charge of the
train, which had been backed upon a sid
ing while waiting for a special to pass
on the main line. Harlow took refuge
in the cab of the engine, and his partner
crawled to the running board on the op
posite side from the mob.
Brandishing guns, knives and clubs, the
Italians soon reached the engine and de
manded that the engineer surrender the
two men or he would be killed. The en
gineer parleyed with the angry mob for
some time until some of .the infuriated
Italians began shooting into the cab. This
seemed to be the signal for a general
luslllade, and bullets rained about the
engineer as he stood In his cab facing
the mob. He was not hit. but a bullet
from a "Winchester struck Harlow In the
shoulder, and, as he fell, the contents of
a shotgun tore away the side of his
head. After Harlow fell, the firing slack
ened, and the engineer got down from his
cab to remonstrate with the Italians. He
was driven back at the muzzle of a rifle
and ordered to deliver the two men. It
was only upon his repeated assurance
that one of the men had been killed and
the other had left the cab that the en
gineer's life was spared. In the mean
time. Harlow's partner had crawled dpwn
from the opposite side of the cab and
started to run for his life. He was pur
sued and surrounded. The Italians at
once opened fire on the defenseless man.
and it is believed he was shot to death.
TREASURER TOUXG "WTM, PAY.
Will Malce Good Fraudulent War
rants Issued by His Deputy.
OITMPIA, Aug. 25'. As the end of
State Treasurer Young's administration
draws near the taxpayers of the state
will ask the question as to what that
ofllcial will do about the fraudulent state
warrants paid by his deputy early in his
term of office. These warrants were part
of the ones issued by George D Evans,
who was Deputy JState Auditor during -the
Republican administration, under Aud
itor L, B, Grimes and later J. E. Frst.
Brans Issued between 570D0 and J00)
worth of these fraudulent warrants, and
when they came up for payment, two of
the warrants, amounting to between 51600
and $1700, were paid by the State Treas
urer. The remainder we're detected in
time, and the holders of the warrants
Instead of the state became the loser.
Mr. Young says that he will bear the loss
of the money paid by his denutv. nnd
the state will not be 1 cent loser; neither
will his bondsmen, be.
Assistant Attorney-Genenal Vance, to
whom the matter was referred, stated
that the sum paid by Mr. Young was
credited on the State Treasurer's books
as simply "cash," and there would be no
way of ascertaining Mr. Young's Inten
tions regarding the money until he makes
a final settlement with his successor this
"Winter. In the meantime, however, the
state is out the Interest on the J1700.
HOPGROWERS INDEPENDENT.
Easy for Them to Get Advance
Money Prom Banks.
OREGON CITY. Aug. 26. Picking will
begin in several Clackamas County hop
yards tomorrow, and by another week
the hop harvest will be in full blast. H.
C. Iong, a hopfarmer. of Marquam. said
today that all the growers not in tho as
sociation, to regulate the price of picking
will pay 40 cents per box. The price
agreed on by the association is 35 cents
per box. The hops aro more solid than
last year, and the yield promises to be
large. But very few growers are con
tracting their hops, although buyers have
scoured the country with persistent so
licitors, being very anxious to make ad
vances. Growers have no difficulty in get
ting all the money needed to car for
the crop from the banks.

THE DAUES. Aug. 26. The greater
number of the employes of the Central
Navigation & Construction Company,
building what is commonly known, as the
Paul Mohr portage road, on the north
side of the Columbia River at The Dalles,
were laid off yesterday. A great number
of them came to this city yesterday. They
seem to think that the work there is
about complete.
The Government survey for a portage
road around The Dalles rapids, above this

LABOR SCARCE.
Hands Needed in Morton County to
Pielc Hops and Fruit.
SALEM. Or., Aug. 26. It Is quite prob
able that there will be a scarcity of la
borers In handling the fruit and hop cr-ps
of this vicinity. It is not often that
prunedrying and hoppicklng begin simul
taneously, but this year the gathering of
both prunes and hops will be carried on
at the same time. In addition to this
unusual demand for help, the Salem can
nery win need 200 hands to work at can
olng pears. The result will probably be I
that good wages will be paid to those
who work with either fruit or hops.
The date has not yet been set for the
opening of the Salem public schools, but
it is expected that the school year, will
begin either the last Monday in Septem
ber or the first Monday In October. In
recent years it has become the custom to
regulate the school term to accommodate
those who engage in hoppicklng.
Hocum & Sklpton, of Seattle, shipped a

a single ship owing to faulty seamanship.
One vessel, a cruiser built In France, dis

VALUES ON THE SURFACE.
Promising Strikes This Season Near
Cable Cove.
SUMPTER, Or., Aug. 26. Good finds
have been made this season north and
west of Cable Cove. The ore is encoun
tered at the grass roots, carries sliver,
lead and some gold, and has the appear
ance ot having been taken from depth.
E. A. Kingman, a Boston mining man,
has arrived to' inspect the Gypsy King,
his attention having been called to It by
W. H. "W. Hamilton. An Inspection of
the claim proved all that had been said
of Its richness, and the sale will prob
ably be made in a few days.
What is considered one of the best
strikes of the year was made In the
Minneapolis mine, at Bourne. As In many
other prospects, the surface values were
small. When the tunnel was In 25 feet

the ore assayed only 63 cents in gold,
but the men having the properly under
bond, E. Sanderson Smith and' C. H.
Fenner, were not discouraged. As work
progressed, values increased, running SO
cents, $2 60. $4, $S, $12 and $14, and in tho
last 15 feet a two and one-half foot ledge
was encountered that runs as high as
$15 55 per ton. In several places the ore
was absolutely valueless, but the indica
tions now are that a permanent body
has been struck. The formation is slate
and porphyry, and the values are found
In the contact. The rock looks lean, but
yields coarse gold In large quantities
when panned. This Is In a section that
has been overlooked, as the ledges of
value were-all supposed to be on the op
posite side of Cracker Creek.
Another goodillustration of the say
ing that "gold is where you find It" is
offered by the Hope claim on O'Farrell
Gulch, opposite the Umpqua Mining &
Milling Company's property. The claim
was located two years ago, but was gen
erally considered worthless by experts.
Several months ago George Louks, whp
knows nothing of mining, came along
and purchased the claim. He began work
at once, put up buildings and drove a
tunnel for the ledge, striking It when
In a short distance. Today he has a body
of fine-looking quartz that gives an as
say of $10 to $11 to the ton.
Jack Hennessy reports work progressing
at the Gold Bug Grizzly, joining the Ibex
on the west. Where the ledge was cut
It showed 12 feet of ore. A drift of 50
feet was made and the ledge widened
to 25 feet. The values are godd and nre
maintained throughout. Mr. Hennessy
thinks he has another Ibex, and intends
to push development to determine the full
extent and value of his property.
H. S. McCallum, general manager of
tho Bald Mountain and Mammoth, has
decided to Install mills at once on both
properties. The Mammoth will have a
10-stamp mill and vanners. while the
Bald Mountain will be equipped with 20
stamps and vanners. The forces employed
on these properties will be more than
doubled within the next three months,
as it requires ore to keep 30 stamps busy.
Thd Bald Mountain adjoins the Ibex,
while the Mammoth is two miles to the
east, near Silver Creek and the Cable
Cove country.
BLUE RIVER DISTRICT.
Mill in Bryan Mine Set Up nnd Given
a Trinl.
ENGENE, Or., Aug. 26. Dr. Candiani is
rushing development work on his claims
in the Blue River mining district. The
stamp mill on the Bryan mine Is ready
for business. The plates were set In
position Wednesday, and Friday the mill
began work for trial. If the mill works
well It will continue to grind away at the
ore on the dump as long as the weather
will permit. Dr. Candiani is also putting
in a five-stamp mill on the Sunset, which
he has bonded. He expects to have this
mm working In a few weeks. The Sun
set is the mine which has been show
ing such phenomenally rich ore, where the
owner, Mr. White, used to grind out large
quantities with a common arastra.
The Lucky Boy mill, which for some
time has been able to work only part of
its stamps on account of an Inadequate
supply of water, Is now running at full
capacity. Improvements have been made
whereby a better supply of water from
the creek has been made available. The
product of this mill continues uniformly
ricn.
C. M. Young has started for Blue River
with two heavy loads of supplies for the
Durango mine. This mine Is one of the
oldest locations in the district. It is owned
in Eugene, but no development work of
consequence has been done. The com
pany has been doing enough work to keep
up its assessment, and that Is about all.
Now, however, they are beginning to work
with a determination of finding out what
they have In their mine. Last week they
sent up a frame bunk and supply-house,
whloh is Intended to furnish shelter so
that woTk can be prosecuted during the
Winter. The house was framed and cut
In Eugene and hauled to the mine
"knocked down," and It took but a short
time after its arrival to put it together.
A force of men will be at work on this
mine In a few days, and will probably
continue during most of the. Winter. After
a sufficient amount of development work
has been done to warrant the expense, a
mill will be put up to handle the ore.
This mine is one of the highest on Gold
Hill, and after development has progressed
sufficiently to give an accurate survey, it
is the intention to run a tunnel from the
bottom of the hill, striking the ledge at
a depth ot 1000 feet or more.

VESPERS ARE CHAMPIONS
WON
SENIOR EIGHT-OARED RACE
IN A. WALK AT PARIS.
Physical Superiority o Americans
Was Apparent, and There Was No
Doabt of Their "Victory.
PARIS, Aug. 26. The Vesper Boat Club,
of Philadelphia, today won the senior
eight-oared championship, the only
event in the international regatta
held under the auspices of the
Paris Exposition in which the
Americans competed. Several thou
sand spectators gathered along the banks
of the Seine, where the regatta was held.
A large number of their fellow-countrymen
cheered the American crew to vic
tory. Every man was trained to the hour,
and all regarded the result as a fore
gone conclusion. This conviction was
shared by the bookmakers, who refused
all bets on the Americans.
Four crews competed, the others being
the Minerva eight, from Amsterdam, and
the Germanla, of Hamburg, and the
Ghent crew. The race began at 5:30 P.
M. The Americans were clearly physi
cally superior to their opponents, their
big frames and athletic build evoking
flattering commetft when they carried
their oars from the boathouse to the
waterside and took their places in the
shell.
Immediately on the firing of the pistol
the Vespers went ahead. That their self
confidence was well founded was shown
In the first few hundred yards, when they
had secured such a lead as dispelled all
doubt of their victory. From that mo
ment Interest centered in the distance by
which they would win. Amid cheers they
finished an easy first by several lengths.
Time, 6:07 4-5. The Ghent eight was sec
ond, the Minervas third, and the Germa-
nlas brought up the rear. The prizes
were a piece of bronze statuary, worth
about $S0, to each member of the crew.
The Americans were very Indlgnnnt at
the decision of the committee to allow
three of the eights which competed in
the first trial heat yesterday to race In
the final today, instead of the winner.
The committee based Its decision on the
ground that the second and third crews In
the trial heat made faster time than the
Americans, who won the second trial
beat. The Americans replied that the
question of ,time' in heats is Immaterial.
Moreover, they say they made no effort
to attain fast time. In view of the fact
that their French competitors virtually
abandoned the race when ft was about
half over. Fred Fortmyer, ofllcial rep
resentative of the Americans In the
sports, said, regarding the committee's
decision:
"It is quite foreign to all our notions
and rules. The race today ought to have
been between the Vespers and the winner
of the first trial heat. This Is the way
we interpret the rules of racing, and, un
less the French change their method, we
shall never again compete in this coun
try. Personally, I do not believe any
other American crew would be willing to
enter under such conditions."
TORPEDOES LOSE AT SPOKANE.
Flemminsr Pitched Well, But Re
ceived Poor Support.
SPOKANE, Wash.. Aug. 28. Twenty-two
hundred people saw the Torpedoes lose the
third game to the Spokane team today, and
the crowd went home admiring the work
of Pitcher Flemmlng, of the visitors. He
pitched a clever game, and should havo
won. but the men behind him, with a few
exceptions, played poor ball. The Tor
pedoes lost the game In the second Inning,
when a double, single, a man hit by a
pitched ball, errors by the second base
man, the third baseman and another
double gave Spokane five runs. Spokane
made three In the third without getting
a hit. Then the Torpedoes took a brace,
and only In the seventh did Spokane score
again. The Torpedoes scored in the sec
ond on two hits and a stolen base, made
four in the fifth on five hits and errors
by Spokane, and one in the seventh on a
base on balls, a steal and a hit. Zan. at
shortstop, fielded well, and A. Parrott, at
first, was a power at the bat. This after
noon's game waa by far the best of the
series, but showed that the Torpedoes
were outclrssed by

HORRORS OF WAR POBTRY.
Alivnya of Uneven Quality Sorao
Noted Specimens.
Kansas City Star.
It is generally agreed that the horrors
of war in South Africa, have been greatly
augmented by the versification which it
has called forth. The quality of the
poetry evoked by war has always been
uneven, but It was to have been ex
pected that at least some verse In a lofty
strain should have come from so gifted
a land as Great Britain. The Civil War
In the United States produced "John
Brown's Body," but It was the inspira
tion also of these noble lines:
Mine eyes havo seen the glory ot tho coming- ot
the Lord:
He Is tramplner out the vintage wher tho
grapes ot wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his
terrible swift sword.
His truth is marching on.
If the rioters In the French Revolu
tion danced to the doggerel of the "Car
magnole" they were roused to action,
too, by the lofty swing of the "Marseilr
laise" ;
Yo sons of France, awake to glory!
Hark! Hark! What myriads bid you rlsel
The American Revolution failed to pro
duce any poetry of abiding worth. 'Yan
kee Doodle" Is a survival of that time,
but It was vthe catchy tune, as played by
drum and fife, that preserved the name
for future generations and not the words.
Who would even know that this rhyma
belongs to the famous song?
Father and I went down to camp.
Along with Captain Goodwin,
And there we saw the men and boys.
As thick as hasty pudding.
One of the triumphs of the War of 1812
was "The Star-Spangled Banner." For
the War with Mexico Whlttler wroto
"The Angels of Buena "Vista," and the
Civil War Inspired many notable addi
tions to the poety of the battlefield.
England has "The Charge of the Light
Brigade" to recall the struggle In the
Crimea, and with such poets as Kipling,
Swinburne and Watson there was reason
to expect some stirring verse as the re
sult of the South African conflict. Only
a few years before the youthful Kipling
had written his "Hymn Before Action":
The earth is full of anger.
The seas are dark with wrathj
The nations in their harness
Go up against our path!
Ere yet we loose the legions
Ere yet we draw the blade,
Jehovah of the Thunders,
Lord God of Battles aid!
His first lines on the Transvaal situa
tion were awaited with Intense interest.
They are well remembered. Somebody
has aptly called them "rag-time" verse.
Their chorus ran:
Duke's son, cook's son, son of a hundred
kings
Fifty thousand horse and foot going to Tablo
Bay,
Each of 'em doing his country's work
And who's to look after their things?
Pass the hat for your credit's sake, and pay,
pay, pay.
But this was only the beginning of Mr.
Kipling's offenses. He wrote more verse
on the same theme. Now, "war" is a
good, strong Saxon word and is exceed
ingly effective at the end of a line, but
unfortunately it has few close rhymes.
The author of "Recessional" could not
pass it by, however. So he .wrote in the
London Morning Post:
"What see ye? Their signals or levin afar?
"What hear yo? God's thunder or guns of our
war?
The ordinary reader, for whom Mr.
Kipling doubtless wrote, as he printed
the verse in a newspaper, may be Inter
ested In knowing that "levin." once upon
a time, meant lightning. In the same
poem the author rhymed "war" with
"mar."
After the fall of Bloemfonteln the cor
respondents wired this from their brill
iant comrade:
"We welcome to our hearts tonight
Our kinsman from afar.
Brothers in an empire's fight.
And comrades of our war.
A fragment of a shell at Klmberley that
was turned into an Inkstand furnished
another opportunity to link "war" and
"afar." But that was only three times.
In the London Dally Mall for April 21, Mr.
Kipling wrote:
All the world over, nursing their scars.
Sit the poor fighting men broke In our wars.
But "war" is a stirring word, even
though it has so few good rhymes, and
in the same poem he used it again, in
this fashion:
Ye that tread triumphing, crowned toward the
stars.
Pity poor fighting men broke In our wars.

Austin, poet laureate, should burst forth
into singing. His strain waa awaited with
some suspense by those who remembered
the ode on "Jameson's Rlda."
Wrong? Is It wrong?. Well, maybo.
But I'm going, boys, oil tho aamo.
Do they think ma. a. burgher's baby.
To be scared by a scolding noma?
Tho poet laureate, however, had re
coiled from the everyday and common
place In verse. Ha apparently aimed to
produce something classlcalt-llnes that
would appeal to ths most cultured Instinct
of the British Tommy Atkins, who, as
everybody knows. Is nothing If not eru
dite. So his verse recounted "Rome's
manly away" and "Cannae's adverse
day"; after which 'legion on legion
sprang up from tho ground gleamed
through tho land then over ocean wound,
till Sclpio's eagles swarmed on Africa's
shore and Carthage perished, to Insult
no more." Later Mr. Austin came for
ward with a sweeping assertion in "Spar
tan Mothers." that "who flghta for Eng
land fights for God."
Mr. William Watson, who i3 Just now
the William Llpyd Garrison of British
verse, was heard on the other side, and
Mr. Austin returned demoralized to tho
attack in a wonderful hodge-podge. In
which he outdid Mr. Kipling- by rhyming
in a single stanza "Ladysmlth" with
"klth and "with." and "melee" with
"Dfllhil .Ugprnnn Charles Swinburne,
the master JtTnelody and rhythm, has
also flung himself Into the competition,
with:
"Wo loosen not on theso knaves
Our scourge tormented slaves;
Wo held tho hand that fain
Had risen to amlto
Tho torturer fast.
Whose hand had risen? Who is the tor
turer? And why should we hold the
hand that fain would smite? Why not let
it smite? Would it not be better to
pay more attention to the feet In "Tho
first line and less to the hand in the
third? And yet this verse appears in a
companion to the great journal that only
three years ago printed the solemn
words:
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yot.
Lest we forget lest wo forget.
There is Teason to fear that this prayer
has been In vain in the case of the poets.
In comparing their earlier poems with
the recent verso of the war. one 13 forced
to believe that they have iorgotten and
forgotten sorely.
