THE MOBNINO OBEGONIAN, SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 1901. REGARDED UNFAIR Allowance for Mineral Ex hibit at Buffalo. jpMlON" IN ? EASTERN OREGON Salter-City Tannines MenThlalc the Axnonnt Inadequate an "Well, and May Raise $1000 to Help the 3Intter Out. BAKER CITY, Or., March 15. Eastern Oregon Is keenly disappointed over the allotment .of funds for Oregon's mineral exhibit at the Buffalo exposition. An al lowance of $1500 out of 520,000 Is regarded as unfair. Many mining men are of the opinion that if this is the limit to be al lowed, the matter had best be dropped. Their Idea is a showing truly representa tive of Oregon's great mineral resources or none at all. Baker City business men are generally of the same opinion, but hold that where there Is a will, there is a way. If $1500 Is all the State Commis eion can allow. Baker City must come to the relief. It is proposed that this place and the Eastern Oregon mining district subscribe $1000. But time Is short, and the official -announcement of the commission as to the amount to be given to a min eral exhibit is anxiously awaited. In the meantime, the matter of private sub scription will be agitated. Arrangements had been made with Iederlck B. Mellis, of this place, to itake charge of the exhibit. He has a large collection of ores, and by reason of the excellent work done In the same line at Spokane, has the confidence of the mining men In arranging a mineral ex hibit. Eastern Oregon had the best min eral display there, and the Sumpter dis trict captured the gold medal for the finest exhibit. The same work on a much larger cale was contemplated at Buffalo. A large number of specimens were to be gathered, in addition to those already possessed by Mr. Mellis. Chunks of ore weighing 400 pounds and less, to gether with pieces of country rock and the formation generally, were to be ar ranged alongside of gold bricks. All the properties of the region were to be rep resented, with explanations so thorough as to instruct anyone interested regard ing the different characters of ores. For the mining, engineer and the experienced man who would avail themselves of the oportunlty to Inspect ore from different parts of the world, Mr. Mellis would have possessed more information than might be had after weeks visiting the ground. In every respect an effort was to be made to put Oregon minerals to the front. To do this would require funds. Mr. Mellis would not undertake the work for less than 52S00. For such sum, he agreed to take full charge, procure cabinets, and assistance, gather the ores, and do everything In connection with tho work, except pay the freight to the exhibit Informed mining men here believe he can not carry out his Idea for a less sum. t Mr. Mellis said he will have nothing to ) do with the exhibit, unless It Is on a scale that will attract attention. In view of this condition of affairs, some business men here state that they will raise $1000 by subscription. Nothing was done yesterday, as It was understood come increase In the allowance might be made after readjustment of freight mat ters. Business men do not take kindly . to the Insinuation that because It Is the mining Industry they should stand the expense -of the exhibit. Mining men bear a proportionate share of tho state tax, and feel that their business is as legiti mate as agriculture, or any other pur suit. It Is desired by the taxpayers of this region that their part of the ap propriation be mainly devoted to a min eral exhibit The yellow pine lumber industry Is not far enough advanced to permit of much of an exhibit. Farming does not command much attention and would take little of the agriculture allow ance. The mining industry needs to be ad vertised, and Eastern Oregon legislators were under the Impression that this In dustry was to be given a prominent place when the appropriation was ad vocated. Albert Geiser and Captain C. H. Thompson, assisted by Mrs. Edyth Tozler-Weatherred, have done all they could to have the Eastern Oregon mines properly represented, and are bitterly disappointed over the success which has attended their efforts.

RATHDRUM. Idaho, March 15. A deed was filed with the Auditor yesterday in which the Northern Pacific transfers to the Humbird. Lumber Company, the great Weyerhauser syndicate, 20,018 acres of timber land on the Priest River forest reserve. The consideration named Is $144,133. The deed contains $144 DO In rev enue stamps. It carries with it the transfer of some of the finest timber land in the state, situated in what is known as the White Pine Belt. The Humbird Lumber Campany is the successor of the Sand Point Lumber Company, and has acquired the former holdings of the lat ter company at Sand Point, where its headquarters will be. Extensive improve ments are under way, and active opera tions will begin May 1. Every odd section in the Priest River reserve has been alloted to the railroad company, and the sale just consummated means the despoliation of at least one half of the timber, while the other half Is debarred from settlers who would be only too glad to locate tho land.

The matter was referred to John How ard, of Malheur County, to take testimony of witnesses, and after considering this testimony, the board found the defendant guilty and canceled his diploma.

Few Men for Twenty-eighth Have Recchcd Vancouver. VANCOUVER, Wash., March 16.-Con-trary to the general expectation regard ing the formation of tho Twenty-eighth Regiment of infantry at Vancouver Bar racks, which was ordered by the War Department about a month ago, few men enlisted for this regiment have been sent here.

Officer Has Been in Charge of a Por tion of Orqgon River And Bar ber Improvements. WASHINGTON. March 13. Captain W. W. Harts, for some time In charge of a portion of the river and harbor improve ments in Oregon, and recently relieved, has been assigned to the command of Company H, of the Second Battalion of Engineers, being organized at Wlllett's Point, N. Y. This company will probably be sent to the Philippines. It Is ex plained that Captain Harts was relieved because the failure of the river and har bor funds would mean a cessation of op erations on many Oregon improvements, and a consequent reduction of the force. It was thought that Captain Langfltt could assume full control In the state for the next year. (Captain Harts has been stationed here for about two years and a half. In charge of Government works on the coast of the state and on the Upper Columbia and Snake Rivers. He received orders yester day to proceed to Wlllett's Point to join the Second Battalion. United States En gineers, which Is being recruited to go to the Philippines. He will get away'early next week. His family are visiting In Chicago, where he will Join them.

Senator Mitchell went out of his way to score tho Journal and Its editor for saying he would do about the Nicaragua Canal whatever the corporations demand ed. He was perfectly safe In defending his record on this matter whore courtesy forbade anyone making a reply. Yet he would not dare-face tho facts of his record before an audience in Oregon where any one was permitted to reply. At the Commercial Club banquet Sena tor Mitchell spent half an hour speaking against a little editorial In this paper that stated he would probably support the Nic aragua Canal subject to tho Interosts of the corporations. He resented this and Jnadcls supporters believe he had been the original discoverer of the canal scheme, had created a. special commit tee to promote It, and passed the only bill for Its construction. Mitchell did not tell them the truth about the bill he repored and favored. It was the bill creating the private corpora tion at the head of which Warner Miller, of New York, figured. It provided for Issu ing 5150.000.000 gold bonds backed by tho I Government, to be turned over to a pri- vate corporation, In which tlje Govern ment was to have a few directors, but no control. It was a regular credit moblller scheme like the one on which the Pacific railroads were constructed. The country had ontlrely forgotten about it. but as Senator Mitchell calls It up to his credit, we trust some one will dig up his pamphlet speech on that occasion and show Just what a fraud It was he fathered. No such scheme would, be thought of now, but of course he can fool his followers and make them Relieve any thing he tells them. He Is now a great friend of the canal as he as then. The people of Oregon are to be jobbed and defrauded with this kind of. states manship. Senator Mitchell Is no more sincere about the canal than he was about silver or than he is about woman suff rage or spiritualism or any other fad he cultivates. He has no business ability, no financial acumen, no consistency and po litical stamina, except a strong scont for spoils. The painful consideration that ough to alarm the people of Oregon Is that such a man Is able to deceive their representa tives, and Is held up to present and future generations as a statesman, the peer of Webster and Blaine, by such demagogues as Brownell, and that his success will force tho people to accept still worse doses of ignorance and political rot. MADE A DASH FOR LIBERTY. Convict Escaped From Penitentiary to Be RccantHred. WALLA WALLA, March 15. John Col lins, convict No. 219S, at the Washington State Penitentiary at this place, sen tenced to 10 years from King County about a year ago for embezzling $5500 from the Seattle National Bank, escaped from the prison early this evening, but was recaptured later.
