TRIED TO SELL STOLEN "WOOL. Trro Men at The Dalle Encnped Af ter Exciting: Chnne THE DALLES. Or.. Feb. 27. Early this morning two men hired a team from the livery stable of Ward & Robertson, say ing they were going into the country a short distance. They later appeared at the Moody warehouse with their wagen loaded with wool which they offered for sale. Mr. W. H. Moody, noticing the marking "Mr. Moody" on the sacks, de tained the men and telephoned to the Wasco warehouse for a clerk to identity, if possible, the stolen property. The wool proved to be part of a Joi stored with the Wasco firm. An officer was telephoned for, but the men sprang Into their wagon and lashed their horses into a run down.

Large Shipment Ik Being; Made From Pendleton. PENDLETON. On. Feb. 27. W. S. By ers, who will build a large warehouse at his flouring mills here. Is shipping 140,000 sacks of flour to Siberia, The flour goes in 5000-barrel lots, or 20,000 sacks at a shipment. Large quantities are piled up in his warehouses, and the mill Is grinding constantly to keep up the supply. Regarding the prospects for the Siberian and Oriental flour trade with the Pacific Coast, Mr. Byers expects no diminution, at least not during the next 10 years. "The Russian Trans-Siberian Railway cannot be completed before 1919 or 1912," said he, "and until that road has been ful ly built and equipped Pacific Coast farmers and millers need apprehend no serious interference with their export trade In the direction of Siberia. Contracts are obtainable with Siberian dealing houses for large quantities of flour, and much is' now being shipped there from the Coast." Mule for Alanka. Louis Cook, who left today for Seattle, whence he will sail for Dawson, states that. If plans of many of the placer mine owners are carried out in the purchase and shipment to Dawson of mules and horses, the labor market at that camp will be affected. Mr. Cook owns claims there which he has been working with steam plants for two seasons, and intends to take to Dawbon a lot of mules, to be util ized in hauling tramcare. This, he as serts, will effect a material paving In op eration, and by that .much decrease the demand for laborers, inasmuch as hereto fore man power has been used in hauling the tunnel cars. Mr. Cook looks for as large -an output during the coming season as that of any previous year, with probably larger re turns. Steam power and steam thawing is now employed exclusively, except on new claims. The increasing scarcity of fuel compels the utilization of every means possible to reduce expense. He has recent word from Dawson stating that the past Winter has been the coldest in the history of the country. At points It "was 82 degrees below zero, and CO and "0 degrees below was prevalent for long spaces of time. JTORTHWEST DEAD. Mr. and Mrs. Gesrge Gibson, of Umatilla County. PENDLETON, Or,, Feo. 27.

It Is the universal opinion of min ers that negligence on the part of the men themselves was responsible for the ex plosion. BUDGET FROM LEAVISTOX. Five Cnseii of Smallpox Quarantined Conrt ItentH.

Fenred Somebody Had Stolen Im portant Mnltnomnh Bill. SALEM, Feb. 27. There was trouble in the office of the Governor yesterday af ternoonmore trouble than Oregon's Cnlef Executive wants to see again during his career In either public or private life. The Governor says he sweat great drops of blood and lost 10 pounds' of weight In less than five minutes. It was all over House bill 1S9, which proposes to legislate the County Commissioners of Multnomah County out of office. Yesterday afternoon Judge Pipes and the County Commissioners were before the Governor to present their views of the bill, and, after a lengthy discussion Judge Pipes submitted a written brief on the subject. After the gentlemen had gone the Governor was examining the brief, and, having occasion to compare the language in tne brief with the bill, he looked in a drawer where he supposed the bill .had been placed. It was not there and could not be found on the table. The Governor and Private Secretary 4 Lyons searched tho executive offices high and low, but the missing document had mani festly disappeared. The Governor felt assured that none of his visitors would make away with the bill Intentionally, and, upon recalling all that had taken place In his office, was certain that the bill could not have been gathered up with other papers and taken away by accident. In view of the theft of several bills during the session, the Governor and his secretary have exercised extraordi nary care Mn handling bills that have been filed In the executive office. Each was certain that no one had entered the office and stolen the bill, yet the fact remained that the bill had mysteriously disappeared and coultt not be found after a "search of every nook and corner in the offices. The Governor was at his wits' end, and could see nothing before him but the charge of having destroyed the bill or having permitted some one else to do so. He had given the chief clerk of the House a receipt for the bill, and was therefore responsible for its safekeep ing until filed with the Secretary of State. There was nothing left to do but wait until the legal five days had elapsed, and then admit that the bill had been stolen a story which would not be believed by some, and which would subject him to the censure of all. Pacing forward and back across the room, wringing his hands and tearing his hair, the Governor ex claimed In the agony of his soul: "I wouldn't have had this happen for all the money you could pile upon this table!" The Governor tried to resign himself to his fate and await the public condemna tion which must surely come. He must stand before the people almost self-con-vlcted of misfeasance in office by making Men, Young and This is the oldest Private Medical Dispensary in the City of Portland, the hrst Medical Dispensary ever started in the city.

When the Governor had so far re gained his self-control as to be able to return to his work, he suddenly remem bered that he had left the bill with the Attorney-General for his consideration upon a question of law. . Then there .was joy in the executive. office more joy over the return of tiie ono bill that was lost than over the ninety and nine that had given no trouble. The incident thus happily terminated plainly Illustrates the great responsibili ties that rest upon the Chief Executive, and also how easily an error or misfori tune may result In the blasting of an of ficial's whole future through no fault of his. It aHo shows the rea?on for the caro exercised In the safekeeping of biUs, even when persons mo-t Interested wish to scrutinize them. It Is said upon pretty good authority that $1000 was offered to a man If he would steal the nickcl-ln-the-slot-machlne bill from the Governor's of fice before It had been signed. With that sort of manipulators to guard against, the Governor finds himself In an unpleas ant position as long as he has such meas ures in his possession. XEW ASSESSMENT LAW. rroperty Is Tnxable Where Located, Not Where Owner lle.ililes. SALEM. Feb. 27. Senate tjlll 13, by Looney of Marion, and House bill S3, by Pearce, of the same county, are ex actly the same irt their provisions, nnd each became laws today. As they carry emergency clause?, they take effect im mediately, and will govern the assessment of property which is made upon prop erty as owned on th 1st day of March of this year. This mearure provides that all goods, ware.. merchandise, money or machinery employed In any branch of manufacture or other business within the state, owned by a corporation In or out of this state, or by any person, whether residing In or out of the state, shall ba taxable In the county or city or other mu nicipal corporation where the same may be, either to the owners thereof or to the person or corporation who shall have charge of and be in possession of tho same. The object of the measure is to make personal property taxable In the city where It Is located, Ins-tead of where tho owner resides. Thus, under the previous law a business mn owning a stock of goods within th City of Portland but residing outside the city could escape pay ing city taxes by having his goods as sessed as though at his residence. In this manner a banker may have his money nssesscd outside the limits of the city where he conducts his business, and thus avoid city taxes. The new law will pre vent this, and will nut all business men -'on an equality so far as concerns the taxation of their capital and stock in trade. Old, Read This J. Henri Kssler, 31.
