FOREST GROVE TEAM WON
PACIFIC UNIVERSITY DEFEATED
WILLAMETTE ATHLETES.
Contest Started OS Slowly, Bnt the
Finish Was Exciting; Score
Was 61 to 51.
SALEM, May 31. Pacific University was
victorious over "Willamette University In
the field day today, by a score of. 61 to 5L
This field moet was arranged between the
two schools alone, and forms no part of a.
series of intercollegiate contests.
The contest was advertised to begin at
1:30 o'clock, but for unknown reasons the
first event was. not called until nearly an
hour later, and the event's dragged until
late in the afternoon, when an effort was
made to hasten matters. The attendance
was not large, and this, with the slow
progress of the field day, lessened the In
terest. Willamette had nearly all the root
ers, the Forest Grove school sending up
but a few supporters for Us able team of
athletes.
The contest opened with the half-mile
run. Inwhlch there were four entries, Lee
and Wilkins. of Willamette, and Fletcher
and Yoder, of Forest Grove. The race
was easily Willamette's, Yoder dropping
out before the finish and Fletcher coming
In 20 yards behind Lee, who finished in 2
minutes 5 4-3 second, with Wilkins closely
following.
The lQO-yard dash was the first exciting
event Willamette counted strongly on
Junk winning in this event, but he failed
by about an Inch, -Mlllls taking first place.
The standing high jump was an event In
which Willamette took no Interest, having
no contestant who hoped to win. Junk
had never Jumped until two days ago, and
quit at 4 feel 3 Inches, leaving Mlllls first
at 4 feet 4 inches, considerably lower
than he is capable of jumping.
The pole vault was of no special Interest,
two Forest Grove men tying at 8 feet 1
Inch, and neither caring to settle the tie
by further vaulting. Pacific University
gained seven points by this event.
The 220-yard hurdle race was Pacific's
from the start, the two contestants from
that school gaining on Willamette at ev
ery stride. The timekeeper failed to take
the time, but a bystander caught it as
16 seconds.
The hammer throw did not become In
teresting until near the close, when the
record suddenly advanced from 72 feet to
78 feet 2 inches, Colvln, of Forest Grove,
sending the hammer down the track that
distance. Immediately afterwards Holt, of
Willamette, threw 79 feet 2 inches, but
stepped out of the circle, thus losing his
throw and leaving Colvln the victor.
The running high jump was not a very
hard-fought event. There were four en
triesAtkinson and Belknap, of Pacific
university, and Junk and Baxter, of Wil
lamette. Baxter went out of the contest
early, and was followed by Belknap, leav
ing Junk and Atkinson to try for first
place. At 5 feet 2 Inches, Junk knocked
the bar off the pegs three time? in suc
cession, and Atkinson, desiring to save
his strength for other events, did not try
to raise the record he had made in clear
ing the bar at this height
The two-mile bicycle race was the event
to which all looked forward with greatest
Interest Willamette entered Evans and
Jcrman. and was confident of taking first,
and possibly second places. Dugan repre
sented Pacific. The race was very slow,
each contestant declining to set the pace.
The test oame In the last half mile, when,
bv a spurt Dugan won by a good margin.
When the last event was called the score
stood: Willamette, 49; Pacific, 55; so that
If Willamette should take first and second
places the score would be & tie. This made
the final event an exciting one, but Pa
cific gained 6 points on this event s-nd
Willamptte 2.

RESCUED FROM NAVASSA.
Abandoned Men Taken From
the
Phosphate Isle.
NEW YORK, May31.-The four men
who have been practically abandoned on
Navassa Island in the West Indies, since
December last, will be brought to New
York on the steamship Alps, which la due
here June 12. The Alps left here for Cape
Hatlen May 18, and was due to stop for
the men on her outward-bound trip, and
it is expected that by this time they are
off the Island They are James A: Wood
ward, William A. Humphrey, John Hill
and A. Bell, all of Baltimore.
The men were left to their own re
sources owing to a dispute between the
partners who controlled the phosphate
output of the Island. For a time they
had no food s,t all, with the exception of
what they could trap and shoot on the
almost barren island. Once they managed
to hall a British war vessel and from her
received a small supply of provisions.
Again the Government yacht Mayflower
went to Navassa from Porto Rico and
found them with a six days' supply. . This
was In the latter part of March. Since
then they have received no outside aid.
These same men were also, on the Island
just prior to the war with Spain, and at
that time they underwent some hard
ships. They were taken- off by a naval
vessel at that time.
When the men first went to the Island
they were in the employ of the Navassa
Phosphate Company. This company went
Into the hands of a receiver during the
Spanish-American War, and all Its rights
were purchased by John B. Jefferson and
Captain Wyatt Owen, of Baltimore, In
tho early part of December last, the new
owners of the phosphate mines sent the
four men to the Island again to look after
the mines. Within a few weeks there was
a disagreement between the partners
which, resulted in a dissolution of the
partnership. Under this dissolution agree
ment, Mr. Woodward was to pay the re
turn expenses of the men to tho United
States. He arranged to carry out this
part of the agreement when another dis
pute, arose"between himself and 'Captain
Owen, which frustrated ajl plans to aid
the mn.
Students Presented "Nazareth."
SANTA CLARA, Chl May 3L-"Naza-reth,"
a pawlon play by Clay M. Greene,
received 1U first production at tho Santa
Clara College Theater tonight, and achieve
ed distinct success. The characters were
personated by students of the college
which is conducted by the Jesuit Fathers.
The play was splendidly mounted, the
costumes and scenery being historically
correct. While portraying In graphic
manner the most striking Incidents In the
life and death of the Savior, the drama Is
remarkable for the fact that Christ does
not appear upon the stage, thus eliminat
ing what hes heretofore been the chief
objection to plays of a similar-character.
Judas is a striking figure, and several of
the other apostles were seen also. The
audience was a brilliant one, special train
having been run from San Francisco for
the occasion,

WORKINGMEf IIN POtiffCS
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY
WESTERN LABOR UNION.
THE
The Members Are Urged "to Sever
Their Connections EVith tho Great
Political Parties.
DENVER. Colo., May L The annual
conventions of the Western Federation of
.Miners and the Western vLabori Union
began consideration of committee reports
In executive session tcday.
Just before adjournment of the federaij
tlon convention for the noon recess, eacn
delegate rose and declared he was not
responsible for a published anonymous
Interview regarding the election of a suc
cessor to President Boyce. This indicates
at least that there is no movement of
Importance to elect another president. The
committee having in hand President
Boyce's report recommended that the sev
eral sections be sent to the proper stand
ing committees. This practically adopts
the whole document by the convention.
The Interchangeable card between the
miners and 'labor union was adopted. The
by-laws committee made some minor
changes, which were adopted.
The labor union convention decided to
increase the salary of the secretary from
$75 to $100 a month, and pay weekly.
The following Is tho text of the politi
cal resolulions which were adopted by
the labor union late this afternoon:
"Whereas, the capitalist -class Is in com
plete possession of the means of produc
tion and thereby controls the Republican,
Democratic ajid Populist parties, to fur
ther their political and Industrial ends;
and,
"Whereas, the working class has noth
ing In common with the capitalist class,
either politically or Industrially; and,
"Whereas, the Interests of the working
class and the interests of the capitalist
class are diametrically opposed to each
other; therefore, the working class can
not expect to derive" any benefits from af
filiating and supporting the capitalist
parties, as has been proved In .the past,
and, '
"Whereas, we, the "worklriff. class, by
reason of being the real producers of the
wealth, and, by reason of our number,
should be the masters, as both Industrial-,
ly ana politically in our nanas lies tne
destiny of the Nation; therefore, be It
"Resolved, That1 we take "such steps
politically as to-completely separate us
as a political body from all parties con
trolled by the capitalist class; and, be it
further
"Resolved, That the incoming execu
tive board? put .forth every effort to as
sist the working people of the different
states in furthering and establishing the
political movement as above outlined."
Resolutions were also adopted directing
the executive board to urgo Congress to
re-enact the Chinese exclusion law and
pass a similar law against the immigration
of Japanese and all other Asiatics. Other
resolutions were adopted, including one
against the use of Montana coal mined by
non-union labor, and one favoring a uni
versal union label.
THE LUTHERAN GENERAL SYNOD.
Second Day Devoted to Discussion
ef Home Missions.
DES MOINES, la.. May 31. The sec
ond day of the general synod of the Evan
gelical Lutheran Church was devoted to
discussion of home missions, the sixth
biennial report being read by Dr. A. S,
Hartman, secretary of the board. The re
port showed that the toatl receipts of the
blennlum, Including the balance on hand
May 1, 1S99, was 3101,342. The cash on
hand after deducting all expenses is
17252. The number of missions receiving
aid, was 165. an increase of five over the
preceding' three years, and the largest
number ever ald.ed in any single blennlum.
The 2g new missions enrolled Increased
the obligation of the board 90660, an aver
age of 9243 for each mission. The num
ber now receiving the aid oMhe board Is
147, which Is 10 more than tho number
enrolled, at the opening the previous bl
ennlum. In addition to these there are a large
number of appeals before the board from
many sections of the field, asking its aid
In occupying new points. Many of these
are from fields of much promise and great
Importance, and should not be refused.
But it' gops without saying that It is
simply Impossible to grant the aid sought
for any considerable part of this new
work with the present ordinary Income of
the. board. If the entire amount of the
apportionment would be contributed by
tho churches, it might be adequate for
proysent needs, but the experience of many
years proves that they must be discount
ed about 25 per cent
The roport of the National Lutheran
Home for the Aged at WInthrop Heights,
Washington, D. C, was submitted by Dr.
M. ,W. Hamma, of Washington. Greet
ings from the Reform Church of the
United States were given by Dr. Brook,
paster of Trinity Reformed Church, of
Canton, d. The rector of St Paul's Epls.
copal Church, of Dee Moines, sent a re
quest asking for copies of Lutheran mu
sic to be run on St Paul's chimes dally.
This communication was greeted with ap
plause. The report of P. H. Miller, visitor
to the Woman's Missionary Convention,
was read, and that of Dr. D. M. Gilbert,
president of the board of trustees of the
Tresster Ohphans' Home, of Loysvllle,
Pa., was submitted and adopted.
The anniversary of the home mission
work was concluded tonight with ad

CHOKING OF THE RIVER.
'Where Silt That Forms Bars Conies
From.
SALEM. Or., May 31. (To the Editor.)
I note with Interest the column of vol
untary associations mentioned under date
of May 24, and observe in connection
therewith the great number and variety
of associations now existing, and almost
dally increasing, formed for the purpose
of securing all that association can se
cure to Individual members therpof often
In opposition to the general Interest and
sometimes against the freedom of the
Individual who choses to Temaln freefrom
these unions or associations formed for
the advantages of thejr constituents. The
writer has in mind the fishermen's union,
which a few years ago created serious
disturbance In the Counties of Clatsop and.
Columbia. In our State of Oregon. Now.
I understand It Is a union of the capital
Its, who are canning salmon, who are
holding the price of salmon up, or seek
ing to do so, at prices which give the
fishermen higher rates and secure to
themselves profitable employment of their
capital. This, -a i thin seasonable limits,
is all right, sd long as the freedom of
the fishermen and capners who choose
to pursue their business free of associa
tion rules or dictation Is not Infringed.
It Is the Industry as a svhole, and Us ef
fects upon the general Interests of the
Inhabitants of the Columbia River Val
ley, I, have In mind.
This Interest Js calling for protection
at two points: Fothe mature fish against
the seals and sea lions that prey on them
as they ent;er the river, and for hatcheries
to maintain the supply. The latter is
deemed a National, as well as state. Inter
est In this connection you note recently
that the sportsmen of Umatilla County
think it absurd to tax the people of the
entire stale, while the fishwheels between
Pendleton and Astoria are taking salmon
by he power the river furnishes and as
constantly as it flows during season. Many
will 'take the sportsmen's view.
But there Is another class of Injuries to
the maintenance of the value of the salmon-fishing
Interest, namely, traps and
weirs, permitted by the State of Wash
ington. They .not only take out fish
more destructively, but they are more de
structive to human Hfe than the lawless
portion of the fishermen's union was. The
writer has made two attempts to see the
measure of development effected In 55
years on the north side of the Columbia
River, and both times was defeated by
the grounding of the steamboat on the
sands accumulating near the forests of
piling driven into the bottom of the river
to secure these traps and weirs.
It is noted, too, that recently the boat
engaged In trying to dredge a, channel
through these accumulating sands Into
Ilwaco has drawn off, because there is
no longer current strong enough to carry
off the sand when loosened. Is It unrea
sonable to say that this Immense acre
age of piles, nets and drift lodgments
are all agencies in affecting the current;
a danger and obstruction at once to hu
man life and to commerce on the river;
a nuisance that ought to be abated by
National power if the state will not act?
There may be, and I think there are
agencies at work now rapidly to decrease
the outflow of the Columbia River, and
still more rapidly to Increase the deposits
or silt and sand within its lowest estu
aries. It is simply astonishing to look
from the highest ground north of Astoria's
reservoir, when the tide is out, and see
the number of areas of bar formations
where nothing of the kind appeared 30
years ago. One below and another above
the city, about half a mile or less from
the wharf line, are growing ominously.
The silt and sand from the wheat and
alfalfa fields, hopyards and orchards, with
Irrigation processes rapidly Increasing
both, the wash into the river and the
amount abstracted by evaporation from
the river's flow, are undoubtedly the chief
sources of these increasing and extend
ing bar formations. To construct res
ervoirs to hold the Winter's flow for
Summer use will Increase the inflow of
silt and loss by crops and evaporation
from crops. Yet many necessities will en
large the cultivated area of the Interior
as long as land can be found upon which
human food or forage crops can be raised
with cr without irrigation. Both modes
lessen tho flow of rivers, the latter the
more so.
The Oregonlan of May 18 quoted pretty
fully Mr. Wilcox's observations of the
effect of sheep on mountain pastures, and
as preventive of forest fires as beneficial
in both directions. That Is true. It is
also true that there are vastly more
landslides In heavy forest-covered moun
tains than there Is on those covered
with grass. The uprooting of single trees
from age and other causes loosens more
earth to wash Into streams than any other
general cause, except cultivation, lrrigai
tion and drainage. JOHN MINTO.
PROMISING CINITABAR MUTE
Indications Are That Geed Preyertr
Will Be Discovered Near Ashland.
ASHLND, Or.. May 29. It seems
probable that a good cinnabar mine will
be developed soon In this district The
Increased demand for this mineral has
caused a more careful search to be made
In the Siskiyou region near here. Sev
eral months ago a Montana company ac
quired a prospect on the Little Applegite
about 14 miles southwest of Ashland, and
began extensive exploitation, which has
been carried on continuously. Tbe open
ings consist of shafts, tunnels and drifts,
amounting In all to about 340 feet of ex
cavation. For some time the miners
have been drifting on the ledge In two-
feet of rock carrying a good percentage
of cinnabar, the ore being- of a grade
which can be worked at a profit The
formation is a large one. and this com
pany has secured a numaer of claims
and opened up tbe ground, exposing ore
In several places. Tbe ore im not com
plex, and can be reduced with a small
plant at the mine. Ths mine Is In a
broken country, and la only accessible by
mountain trail.

found near Grant's Pass and on Picket
Creek, Josephine County, and on the

PRACTICALLY AT AN END
THE
CHINESE
MOST
QUESTION
SETTLED.
IS AL-
Manner of Guaranteeing Payment of
the Indemnity Is Not Explained
to the Povrers.
PEKIN, May 31. China's unconditional
acceptance of 450,000,000 taels as the indem
nity to be paid the powers has caused
great satisfaction among the foreign Min
isters, as it leaves practically but few
minor details to complete the negotiations.
The phrase in the Joint note, "to the sat
isfaction of the powers," may cause some
delay In the evacuation of Chinese terri
tbry, as the Ministers fall to see how
China can guarantee payment, and as all
the Ministers believe it would be a mis
take to have a large body of foreign offi
cials collect revenue. Were revenue thus
collected, over 2000 officials would be re
quired, and the aggregate salaries of these
men would be very larse and amount to
more than the ordinary Chinese "squeeze."
The majority of the Ministers now favor
raising the customs to 10 per cent and
taking 5,000,000 taels yearly from the llkln
tax. This method -Aould give, after the
payment of Interest on foreign debts now
existing, about 23,000.000 taels a year. The
Ministers will agree to this system If
China will discontinue the collection of
all llkln duties on foreign goods.
JOINT COMMANDER NOT NEEDED.
No Occasion for Appointing a Suc
cessor to Von Waldersee.
WASHINGTON, May 3L Whether
Count Von Waldersee will return from
China by way of the United" States has
not been definitely made known to the
authorities here. It Is expected that he
will decide upon his route after reaching
Yokohama and conferring with Countess
von Waldersee, -a ho awaits him there.
The departure of the commander-in-chief
from China will not be later than June
14. Information received here Is that his
departure will be accompanied by a reduc
tion of the German force even greater
than has been indicated In the press dis
patches, the Intention being to leave only
a Legation guard at Pekln, and an auxil
iary force capable of keeping open com
munication between Pekln and the coast,
so as to avoid a repetition of tho disturb
ances. The various foreign representatives
do not expect there will be any need to
choose a successor to Count von Walder
see, as it Is said there will be no occasion
for a joint commander over the compara
tively small force constituting the Lega
tion guards.
The understanding is that the with
drawal of troops will be speedily followed
by the return of the Imperial family to
Pekln, although before this can be done
some of the quarters, burned during the
foreign occupation, must be restored, and
there must be much overhauling of the
palaces, which of late have served as bar
racks for soldiers.
Most of the foreign powers now consider
the Indemnity question closed, apd have
so Informed their representatives here.
Having settled upon the amount of
Indemnity, the Ministers at Pekln are
now negotiating respecting the difficult
subject of guarantee. The Chinese pleni
potentiaries are not concerned at this
stage; the Ministers must first agree
amqng themselves as to the method of
guaranteeing the loan, and this task prom
ises to be difficult of disposition. The
United States Government is pressed by
Russia and France to make tbe guarantee
international and Joint, but It is firm in its
declination to do this, basing its argu
ments upon constitutional limitations upon
the executive branch of the Government.
which are not easy of comprehension to
European minds.
Hone-Conlsg of Grnsa.ns-
BEKLIN, May 3L The German Govern
ment has chartered 13 steamers to bring
home the troops in China. It is ramorea
that about 15,000 men will have arrived
by the end of September. In financial cir
cles in Berlin, it I said that the Chinese
Government after a settlement 1st con
cluded in Pekln. will establish a Consulate-General
In this dty and several Con
sulates in several other German towas.
Prince Herbert Bismarck, in the Ham
burger Nachrlchten, publishes tsday as
other attack upon the foreign policy of
Count von Bulow. associating the Em
peror with the Imperial Chancelter is the
attack. He lays particular stress upon the
Anglophile tendencies of the govermnest
and denies that his father would have
ever approached Great Britain to the det
riment of Russia.

the ripping open of his shirt, underneath

People Did Not Ak for More
HiKher-rald Ofllclnls.
and
Salem Capital Journal.
The last Legislature not only swelled:
the totil appropriation?, but created a
great many new offices, created new
duties and increased official duties, that
will result In permanent taxes being In
creased. Those who remember the last
Marlon County campaign will recall that
all the candidates ?ald they would ask
no Increased compensation. All the leg
islative candidates declired they" would
create no new offices. Yet the legisla
ture did raise the salaries of a groat
many county officials, tried to raise tho
salaries of others and created many new
offices. For example, each coUnly ha
a county road engineer at salaried rang
ing from JiiCO to SCC0O a year The Legis
lature before h?d made the office of road
supervisor elective by precincts. Before
the first supervisors cou'd learn their
duties and the law could be put In effect,
a new county office Is created and a road
engineer is put over them. The result
of this cannot be foretold For one effect.
If the people elect a good road-builder
his authority is taken from him and he
Is relisved of control and responsibility
over the roods of bis district. If an in
competent man has been elected be will
shirk responsibility upon the county road
engineer and the people will not get bet
ter roads.
