HELPED OREGON PRCNECRQWERS.
Prices Fixed by California Associa
tion TOaricet in That State.
SALEM,. Or., Oct. 35. That the Cali
fornia Cured Fruit Association helped the
Oregon prunegrowers to dispose of their
crop at fair prices, becomes every day
more apparent. TVhile California grow,
ers have trouble in marketing their crop,
the Oregon product has practically all
been sold. On September 1 the California
Association fixed Its prices at one-quarter
of a cent above the highest expectations,
and has stocd bv the prices. . It has
been said from the firt, and appears to
be true, tint the prices named were too
high. Buyers looked outside tho asso.
elation for goods, and this has helped the
market ia this state, although Oregon
prodrees a different class of fruit from
that grown in California. "While the
market in Oregon has been brisk and
fruit has been disponed of rap!dly. the
latent report from Californ'a says:
"The prune market is exceedingly quiet;
prices for outside prunes weak and tho
demand light. There are six. or seven
large packers and handlers of prunes out
Side the association, and they are all
very busy, packing, grading and filling
order booked Pt from 2 to 3 per cent be
low the lowest association price. Samples
are in the hands of brokers represent
ing hundred; of cars, which are being
ofcml en this market way below, a5so
elation prices. 2Cow, jmtil this ciass of
business is over, and the outside prunes
m-rkctcd. tho demand for association
goods will not bo as. brisk as the insiders
might wish. If the reports received from
outs'de backers prove correct, there must
be somo heavy holdings outside of the
arsodatlon."
IXTEnXATIOXAJj BOUNDARY 1,1X13.
X,ikoly to Be Subject of es-otlaiions
Between Governments.
NEW WHATCOM, "Wash., Oct. 15
News was received here today that the
Dominion surveyors who have bsen en
gaged in an effort to locate the Interna
tional boundary line where it pa-cs?s
through the Mount Baker mining dis rlct
in "Whatcom County abandoned their
v-ork on October 9 and loft tne country.
According to their field notes, ihc Hn
passes twe miles south of where it was
always rupporcd to have run, while their
scientific observations plscc the -t9 h
parallel, which is the boundary line, wi.h
in a quarter of a mile of where it is
always supposed, to have been.
Should the field rotes stand in the ma
jority, the finest mining properties in the
country will be on the Canadian side.
The matter will undoubtedly have to be
made the subject of ngotlatlns between
the two governments as to where the line
shall be.

to- be used for Improving the Arlington

most, half of which has been subscribed.
The county will make up the remainder.
An attempt is being made by the aid
of local contribution and the promise of
some help from Marion County, to- cut a
ditch some 600 feet in length by TO feet
In width, through a gravel bar imme
diately east of the Santiam. bridge near
Stayton in the old river channel. This is
a last resort to convert a par.t of the
water Into the old channel of the river,
which Is now dry. There Is hope that fcy
cutting this ditch a high water current
will follow it beneath the bridge instead of
through the lowland several hundred
yards north of the structure.
The Commissioners of Clatsop County
ordered a boom stick placed to protect
the Upper Necanlcum bridge and also one
of the abutments repaired. The founda
tion of this bridge is in very bad condi
tion, and although it was constructed only
about seven years 'ago, It will probably
have to be rebuilt next year. An exam
ination, of the O'Hanna bridge by the
court showed that it was in much better
condition than was expected. The found
ation, which was constructed twelve years
ago of fir cut during the Winter and cov
ered with coal tar, i$ still sound.

GOLDEXDALE, "Wash., Oct. 15.-JGreenbury Phillips, wh6 died at this place September
'29, .at the advanced ase of 00 years, .was one of tho oldest settlers of Klickitat County.
He had resided In this section nearly 40 years. Deceased was born In North Carolina, Jan
uary 4, 1S04. When 21 years of age he was married to Miss Betsy Hampden, from which

will be used as. a..Teservo(rr construct

Is every indication that" the work" Is
bqna fide. v .
Killlmacue Lake, which will furnish the
water supply, is situated In the moun
tains about 25 miles northwest of Baker
City. It covers about SO acres of ground.
Little work will have to be don'e to In
crease the lake's capacity. t Engineers
estimate that an increased flow of at
least 3000 inches, during the Irrigation
season, can bo secured by" the construc
tion of a bank at the outlet. This will
make the total flow of the lake between
5000 and 6000 inches, or sufficient water
to irrigate several thousand acres.
The name of the corporation Is the
Klllmacue Lake Reservoir & Rock Creek
Irrigation Company. All the farmers in
terested live between Baker City and
North Powder, 17 miles to the north. Most
of them are In the vicinity of Rock Creek,
which enters the Powder River Valley
about - half way between these points.
In conducting the water from the lake,
KUamacue and. Rock Creeks will be fol
lowed until the land .to be Irrigated, Is
reached. There various ditches will be
employed to distribute the water to the
premises of,.4he Inqorporaters," or such
other., land-owners. as desire. ,
The project is the largest In Northeast

Burton, a well-to-do shoemaker of
Forest Grove, and a life-longr Demo

said today that he promised a month
ajjo to mako a $300 loan for threo"
years at 8 per cent, 'taking R3 securi

lius. Mr. Burton has decided not to
make the loan . until after election,
and should Bryan be elected he will
not. aqcent it. He says the mortgage
notes call for principal and Interest
to be paid In gold, and under a frco
allver administration,' long before his
mortgage would be due, there would
be no gold in the country.

to do the required work within six
months, allowing its title to lapse. There
is no conflict between the old and the
new organizations. It became evident
to those holding land' In the valley that
the former filing had been made, not
with the purpose of beginning work, but
to sell rights to some concern that might
care to take up the project, else they
would never have entered Into the un
dertaking. Some very fine orchards are located In
the district to be Irrigated by this ca
nal. One man alone has 1500 fine bear
ing trees, of all kinds. "Many other or
chards are bearing, and grapes of -good
quality are grown in several parts. Wheat
Is produced almost without limit where
ever water can be had. As high as 50
and 00 bushels per acre are often reported
by framcrs. . Bariey and oats run still
higher. If the irrigation enterprise Is a
success. Rock Creek district will be one
of the most favorable sites for flouring
mills in Eastern Oregon. A mill with a
dally capacity of 100 barrels was re
cently constructed there and this, with
one at North Powder, constitute, the only
plants in Powder River Valley.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Cases Froxa Multnomah County Be-,
elslons Reversed. t
SALEM. Oct. IS. The Supreme Court
today decided two appeal cases, In both'
of which the Judgment of the lower court
was reversed.
v 'The first case was .that of William
Everett Boyd respondent, vs. the Port
land General Electric Company, appellant.
from Multnomah County. This was an
action brought to recover damages, for
pn injury' t6 "the "plaintiff from an electric
light' wife. The plaintiff Is alleged to
have been It years of age, and lived In
Woodlawn, where tho accident happened
on the morning of December 7, 1897. The
cause was tried before a Jury in-Judge
Shattuck".s court, and resulted In a-verdlct
for $i00 In, favor o.f .plaintiff. This- sum
waq reduced. to $2500 by .the, trial court,
and'"' Judgment entered accordingly. The
defendant appealed and secured a reversal
of the declstort of" the -lower courtln "an"
opinion written by Chief1 Justice R. S."
Bean. It was urged that the defendant
was-entitled -to reversal-of the- decision ,
on tho ground of Improper-language of.
plaintiff's attorney in addressing the
Jury, and also on account of improper In
structions given by the Judge to the Jury.
Tho Supreme Court holds that since the
court instructed, the Jury to disregard the
attorney's objectionable remarks, there
was no reversible' error In that direction.
It is held, however, that the court erred
In instructing the Jury that tho electrlo
company cannot plead want of sufficient
assistance as an excuse for delay In tak
ing care of a partloular wire in a subur
ban part of the city when wires have
been prostrated In numerous places, by
reason of an unusual and unexpected
storm. It is held that the question of neg
ligence In this particular Is one that
should be loft to tho Jury. r
Louise Robertson, plaintiff and respond
ent, vs. George F. Robertson, defendant,
and tho Blake-McFall Company, garnishee
and appellant, from Multnomah- County,
John B. Cleland. Judge -reversed, and.. re
manded; opinion by Wolverton, J.
In this case plaintiff having recovered
a Judgment against defendant Robertson,
served garnishee process on appellant and.
afterward had tho appellant cited to ap
pear In court and answer certain alle
gations and interrogatories touching its
Indebtedness to Robertson. The plaintiff
alleged that the Blake-McFall Company
was indebted to defendant Robertson for
services In an amount, unknown to plain
tiff.. This was denied, and at the trial
plaintiff called the company's bookkeeper
to prove the employment of Robertson at
$100 per month. The company then
tried to show by cross-examination and
by making the bookkeeper their own wit
ness, that they had paid Robertson all
that was owing to him, but this evidence
wag rejected-on the ground that the 'com
pany had not plead payment.
The Supremo Court holds that this was
error, and says: "The allegation which
we are considering lmports..nothlng more
than that the company on the date of
the. levy was Indebted to the defendant
Robertson There -aro no facts al
leged or shown whereby the circum
stances of such indebtedness could- be
deduced as a conclusion of law; hence,
the amount of the Indebtedness being the
only fact alleged by'whlch It may be said
to exist," it was traversable, and, being
traversed, it was proper to show pay
ment under the Issuen thus formulated to
refute the fact of its existence,"

The coal does not have to be mined, but
quarried and tumbled Into boats, accord
ing to officers of the Corwln. The dis
covery Is only 300 miles from Nome, and
its discovery will ptactlcdlly settle the
question, of fuel supply for that district,

chines. The Corwln made several trlp3 to
tho new coal field, and carried several
hundred tons to Nome, realizing ?Q. per

PAH-AMERICAN CONGRESS.
Chile Does Not 'Wtuit Political Mat
ters Dlsonsscd.
NEW YORK, OcU 15. Before finally ac
cepting the Invitation of Mexico to par
ticipate in the pan-American conference
to be hold next year Ih the City of Mex
ico, says the "Washington correspondent
of the Herald, Chile has suggested the for
mation of a definite programme, setting
forth the business the conference shall
dlscuBS. Chlle'8 actl6n Is based upon litr
unwillingness to permit any attempt on
the part of either Peru or Bolivia to nre
clpltate Into the discussions o the Con
gress the question of the Tacna and Arlca
dispute.
In the congress held 10 years ago this
dispute was brougnt up. but Chile with
drew from the discussion, and no .t.tlon
was taken. 'Chile oa. repeatedly decl-irsd
Its adherence tc ..he principle of arbi
tration and will tncrefore not object to
the adoption by the congress of a recom
mendation for a treaty of arbitration
modeled somewhat after The Hague In
strument, but It will fnsjst that the pro
visions of the tra:y distinctly provlJe
that It Isi not retv J Active.
In view of Chile's suggestion that the
Tacna and Arlca dispute lie not allowed
to come. before the Pan-American" Con
gress, It Is apparent th'it she u(H"3 not
look for an early settlement of Ihe con
troversy. SANTO DOMINGO FINANCES.
The Government Seeking a Loan In
Thin Country.
NEW YORK. Oct. 15. On a secret mis
sion from Santo Domlnge there has ar
rived, says the World, William Swift
Wright, formerly of Logansport, Ind.,
now confidential adviser of President Jim
Inez. Though Wright refuses to disclose
the purpose of his visit to this country,
it .is believed that Jlminez has sent him
here to negotiate a loan sufficiently large
to transfer the bonded indebtedness from
Belgian to American creditors, having de
cided on this course after a seven weeks'
.tour of the republic, In which he found
conditions most prosperous.
Mr. Wright said that In 1803 Santo Do
mingo owed the Belgian bondholders
about J7,000,000, but that the Indebtedness
has since grown to about $30,000,000.
"The Santo Domingo Improvement
Company," said Mr. Wright; "fbVmerly
gave the government J80.000 a month on
Its budget and applied the balance, less
expenses, on the Interest of the Belgian
bonds. The budget was not sufficient for
the government's expenses and the reve
nues were not sufficient for the debt.
"Counsel for the Improvement Company
In May made a new contract, by which
the debt was continued for three years.
Interest to be paid at 4 per cent, the Im
provement company to make a tate
ment of tho debt within six months, and
differences to be arbitrated.
"The six months expire this month and
counsel hag just arrived in Santo Do
mingo. Belgian bondholders have de
manded a commission to adjust the debt."
WILL SWING TO raftUY
FIVE FORMER BRYAN STATES WliL
CHANGE THEIR WAYS. . -
Prediction Made by Carefnl Ob
erver, Who Offers to Baclz Hla
. Opinion by Even Bet.
SALEM. Oct. 13. E. D. Thome, who
travels, over a large portion of the West
ern States In the interests of the Putnam
Nail Company, of Boston, yestferday of
fered at the Willamette Hotel In thia
city to bet even money that the Statea
of Kansas, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming:
and South Dakota will go Republican In,
the coming election. Mr. Thorne Is a,
convert' to Republicanism. When asked
whether he was offering to bet accordlns
to his sentiments or according to his judg
ment, Mr. Thorne said that he never
puts up money to back his sentiments,
and that his belief in the Republicans
carrying these five states is based upon
careful observation as he has traveled
through them. He has formed his opinion
after talking with men of all. political
parties and who are engaged In various
occtipations la the 3tates najned. All of
these five str-tes went for Bryan In 1S9S
by good majorities, excepting South Da
kota and Wyoming.
Mr. Thorne says that Bryan's chances
for election have been greatly dimin
ished by the well-known circumstance
that a few years ago he was a man of
small means, and that while standing as
a candidate for President he has become
wealthy. The common people, asserta
Mr. Thorne, are coming to the conclusion,
that Bryan's advocacy of the free coinage
of silver has been in the Interests of the
sliver mine-owners, and when they ob
served the persistency with which he la
bored for a silver plank In the Kansas
City platform, going so fas as to say that
tho Democrats must look elsewhere for
a candidate If they refused to Incorporate
such a plank In thb platform, they aro
confirmed In the opinion that Bryan Is
the special representative of the 3llver
barons.
"There Is n6thlng. however, that has
hurt Mr. Bryan more than his inconsist
ent position on the question of expan
sion." continued Mr. Thorne. "The peo
ple will not give their approval to hla
action In first laboring for the ratifica
tion of the treaty by which we acquired
the Philippines and then refusing to abldo
by tho natural consequences of that
treaty."
While trtveling through Idaho. Mr.
Thorne met on several occasions a man
engaged in peddling campaign buttons
and other sm:tll notions. This man said
th'it he was engaged in the same occupa
tion and in the snrnf state In 1835. Four
yenrs ago his sale- of Bryan buttons wore
greatly Ir excess of his sales of McKlnley
emblems, so when ho started out this
year ho laid In a good supply of Demo
cratic buttons. To Ms surprise . the de
mand hod rhnntrort. and this year he has
two calls for McKlnley buttons to one
for Bryan. ThK Mr. Thorne thinks, is
a strong Indication of tho change In po
litical opinion In that state.
