LET PORTLAND M
Its Views on Revised Philip
pine Tariff Wanted.
EXPORT BUSINESS AFFECTED
Expected. That Ail Persona tntereat-
ed in Sending Goods to Islands
Will Offer'Suerseatlons.
WASHINGTON. Nov. ".The people -of
Portland interested in sending supplies
to the Philippines and in trading "With
that part of the United States' posses
sions, should formulate some representa
tions to lay before the Secretary of War
aa to the tariff on exports from, the
United States to those Islands. The re
vised tariff for the Philippines has been
cent to the Secretary of "War for further
revision. It is expected that all persons
interested in sending goods to $be Philip
pine Islands -will make suggestions con
cerning the revision that is to be made
here. Possibly shippers -will not got all
they want, but they can make such rep
resentations to the Secretary of War as
will secure reduction of a beneficial char
acter. Under the treaty of Paris Spain is en
titled for the next 10 years to secure the
same rates on imports to the Philippines
as the United States. As nearly every
nation -which has a treaty ' with the
United States has the "favored-nation
clause," -which allows it to have its im
ports treated with the same degree of
faor as other countries, this favdred
nallon clause will no doubt operate to
admit all goods into the Philippines at
the same rates as allowed Spain, unless
it should be arbitrarily decided that the
tariff to be promulgated la a part of mili
tary necessity, and Is not governed bv
the treaty with Spain, or treaties with
other nations. Tills would be a rather
far-fetched view, and the probabilities
are that -when the tariff is revised It will
have to be reduced for the Philippines, as
well, to secure the introduction of prod
ucts from the United States which are
less likely to be In competition with the
products of foreign nations. It Is under
stood that the tariff thus far prepared
has been drawn Mipon these lines, but
the authorities hero believe that Ameri
can shlpers should have an opportunity
to express their views before the tariff
Is put in operation.

Many Matter Disposed of at Meeting
Laiit Mcht.

regular monthly meeting of the City
Council tonight, the matter of placing
Eoire additional hydrants was again

about J0000 In the treasury, and was sub
ject to the direction of the Council. The
matter was referred to the fire and water
committee.
A claim of J500 damages from W. Bell
more, on account of slipping and falling
on Van Burent street on September 1 was
referred to the street committee.
A warrant of $800 was ordered drawn In
payment of Improvement on the Viola
road.
It was voted that the wages of men
employed In working on the streets be
advanced from $1 fid to 51 75 per day.
The matter of the claim of Mitchell &
Hard, tho Seattle contractors, who are
building the hill sewer system, for extra
compensation, was postponed until aa
adjourned meeting Friday night.
It was voted to lease Falrclough Bros,
the city's property on Main street for
the purpose of a large commission-house.
The bill of the three appraisers of the
6ewer system of 30 was allowed, and the
City Recorder's claim was cut down to
$15. The claim of C Schuebel for $200 at
torney fees and making a list of proper
ty In the rewer district. In which Re
corder Curry was equally interested, was
cut down to $lf0.

W1U Be Stone or BrleXc Structure.
VALE. Or., Nov. 7. Preparations are
being made to build a new Courthouse at
this place. The plans of the building are
now being made, and In a few days It Is
expected that the contract will be let
The structure will be a two-story one, 60
feet square. The present county build
ings are rude affairs and are too small
to meet present demands. They were
built at the time Malheur County was
first formed from a part of Baker Coun
ty, and at that time it was- necessary to
construct something cheap and tempo
rarj. During tho last few years, how
ever, the county has developed wonder
fully and the people have been compelled
to realize that a new Courthouse is an
absolute necessity. The new structure
will be built of stone or brick, and will
be furnished with modern appliances.

Active Work in Mines Since Raina

BLUB RJVEJR, NVxv. 7.-Oohsi4enble
development has been -done the past Sum

Mountains, and many claims are showing
up good prospects In gold. Nothing but (
tne iacK or wagon roada prevents one or

ily at work crushing ore from tho Sunset
mine.
Dr. Candlanl's Bran mill started up
crushing some 10 days ago, but owing to
the tires of the steel wheels being too
light, had to suspend operations.
Shumate & Post, recently made a rich
strike near Quartz Creek, between tho
Lucky Boy sawmill and Blazler's mliL
which shows lots of gold In their tunnel.
iney are going into a hill which shows
quite a large body of ore, some seven j
ie&L wiae.
The Lucky Boy made a very good clean
up the first of this month, and have Just
finished a large bunkhouse, eating-house
and blacksmith shop, and have a largo
barn nearly completed. Since the conv
pany's sawmill was put Into operation
over 160,000 feet of mining timbers have
been sawed. The mine 13 now well tim
bered. The 10 -stamp mill Is running
steadily day and night to its full ca
pacity. Much water Is now in the middle
tunnel, almost enough, to supply the mill.
A new tunnel will soon be commenced to
take Ore out nearly 1C0 feet below the up
per level. This will give a large body
of ore on the same level as the upper
story of the mill, and this tunnel, can be
extended into tKe mountain a distance of
2700 feet, getting a perpedlcular depth of
about 1S00 feet. When the ledge is known
to be from 12 to 25 feet wide of pay ore,
some Idea can be formed of the wealth of
this mine.
