assembled In convention, believe in tne oft
exact Jeftereonlan maxim of equal and exact
justice to all, and special privileges to none.

by Jefferson, Tilden, Jackson and such other
illustrious Democrats, and we therefore con
demn the action of the Republican party In
fostering the Interests of powerful trusts at
the expense of the people of the country, mak
ing the rich richer and the poor poorer, and
it is the duty of the people to rise In their
might and protest with their ballots to over

Boapon, of Ontario, is feeding 530 head of
stoers in the yards of the Oregon Sugar
Company here.) All but about 30 have

month the cattle have been here, and
about S000 tons of pulp.
Much pulp has been sold to Valley
farmers. John L. Cavlness, of Island City,
has fed 500 tons. Four carloads were
shipped to Baker City, but none Is allowed
to go out now. as what remains will be
needed in the yards. Mr. Beason will be
gin shipping beef April 20. In previous

horns and Hereforde, and when ready for
shipment will average about 1550 pounds

still, only three or four men being em
ployed. The syrup will not be worked this

TAXES ARE NOW DELINQUENT.
Property-Owners' Who Have Failed
to Pny Are Subject to Penalty.
SALEM, Of., 7. Under the new law for
the collection of taxes, this was the last
day upon which taxpayers' could escape
penalty and interest charges. The Marlon
County tax-roll for 1901 represented about
5220,000. Of that amount Sheriff Durbln
has collected about $160,000, leaving a de
linquent list of 560.000. Of the $160,000 col
lected, probably $100,000 was received pre
vious to March 16. The taxpayers re
ceived a rebate of 3 per ceqt of their re
spective amounts. By the provisions of
the law, persons paying one-half of the
total amount of taxes charged against
them before todav are allowed until the
first Monday in October to pay the bal
ance before penalty and interest are add
ed. Many persons have availed them
selves of this chance. Taxes upon which
no payment or less than 50 per cent has
been made are delinquent after today, and
will be liable for a penalty of 10 per cent
and an interest charge at the rate of 12
per cent per annum from the first Monday
in April until date of full payment.
The operation of the new law will make
the purchase of property sold for delin
quent taxes less profitable than formerly,
but as an investment In the loaning of
money until the property shall have been
redeemed, the aggregate of the loans will
be larger and the returns In proportion.

DENIES DIVINITY OF JESUS.
Woman Lectures in the Role of Bnd-
dhlst Missionary.
BAKER CITY, April 7. Madame Oat
man Olivia, a native of Denmark, a cltl
een of India and a priestess of Buddha,
lectured at the Baker City Opera-House
yesterday afternoon to a large audience."
She appeared before her audience dressed'
in a beautiful yellow robe, such as the
highest-caste ladles of India wear. Her
hair, which Is coal black and very luxury
ant, was loose, and hung down her back
below her waist. She Is a lady of extra
ordinary attainments as a linguist, speak
ing five languages fluently. She lived in
India for 16 years, where she became a
student of the Buddhist school. Madame
Olivia says her mission Is not to tear
down, but to build dp. She does not be
lieve In the divinity of Christ, who, lke
Buddha, she declares, attained to that de
gree of perfection which enabled irm to
live a perfect life.
Her religion has nothing to do with di
vinity, save that in order to live happily
and enjoy all the blessings of life we
must obey the laws of God. She does not
believe In the forgiveness of sin. She in
sists that disobedience of the laws of
God means punishment, and as God's laws
are unchangeable, there Is no escaping the
penalty of disobedience. Thus if we eat
too much we aro sick; the sickness being
the punishment for our disobedience. We
can enjoy all of life's blessings If we fol
low the teachings of Buddha.
Madame Olivia Is traveling in the In
terest of a society of Buddhists, and her
mission Is to do good. She does not at
tempt to contend against the teachings of
any otljer religion.

BLACKMAN HAS A PUN
LABOR COMMISSIONER "WOULD END
SEATTLE STRIKE.
Suggests Arbitration Boards as
Means to Bring Capital and
Labor Together.
OLYMPIA, April 7. The strike among
the building trades at Seattle is of inter
est in other cities, and the failure to
settle the labor troubles that have been
existing for a year past is much re
gretted. Seattle has two central labor
bodies and herein appears to lie the
trouble, to a large extent. The Central
Labor Union is composed of representa
tives from about 40 labor unions, and this"
organization seems to have the confidence
of the public and employers generally.
The Building Trades Council Is composed'
or. xz suoorainaie unions, ana just at
present the Employers' Association is
fighting it.
Several of the unions In the Building
Trades Council are on a strike and the

ASTORIA, April 6. August Scheraeckau, Republican nominee for Representa
tive from Clatsop County, Is one of Astoria's most prominent German-American
citizens. Ha was born at Rensburt, Germany, in 1837, and came to this coun
try when 20 years of age, locating1 in Iowa. Later, he moved to Nebraska,
where he enlisted In the First Nebraska Volunteer Infantry, serving through
the Civil War, and later in the wars with the Indians In the state which he
had chosen for his home. In 1800 he came to Oregon and eettld' In Wasco
County, where he became prominently Identified with themmerclal development
of that portion of the state, establishing the town of Shanlko, which was named
after him. Mr. Scherneckau moved to Astoria 13 years aro, and while not
actively engaged In business, he has been associated with other citizens In the
establishment of several local industries, and takes a keen Interest In every
public enterprise. Though not a politician, Mr. Scherneckau has' always been a
Republican. Ho served the public two terms as a member of the City Council,
where ho gained a well-deserved reputation for honesty and integrity, belns
elected the second tlma without opposition.
Clark W. Camahan, also a Republican candidate for State Representative,
is a native son, having been born on Clatsop Plains 45 years ago. In 1800, fie
was elected County Assessor, and has served In that position during three success
slve terms, being elected by 'increased majorities at each succeeding election.
Mr. Carnahan was one of the. founders of the Astoria Progressive ' Commercial
Association, and is at present Its president. For several years he was chairman

an ardent worker in the interests of the Republican party all bis life.
been accepted, nor is it probable they
will be. In connection with the troubles
existing. Commissioner Blackman has
given out a statement relative to arbi
trating labor troubles, that naa received
much favorable comment in this state and
may result in his suggestions being
adopted Jn Seattle, in the hope of ending
a, situation that Is resulting in endless
trouble to the people of that city. Mr.
Blackman's statement is as follows:
Plackman's Plan.
I am convinced that arbitration is the only
fair way of settling differences that arise be
tween laborers and employers. My experience
for tho past five years with the State Labor
Bureau proves conclusively to me that arbitra
tion can nettle such differences. I am In favor
of tho state's authorizing some one. says the
Labor Commissioner, to go In person to the
scene of the trouble, and ask each party to
Lthe controversy to appoint one man each, then
to have these two men appoint a third, and
to have this bo the board of arbitration for
that particular case. The state, through its
Labor Commissioner, would actas secretary
for this board, just to keep a record of Its find
ings, and when the board finished its work it
would adjourn sine die. In the case of another
disturbance, the Commissioner would proceed
in the same manner to appoint another board.
I am not in favor of tho state or any mu
nicipality having a standing board to settle
labor troubles.
Let mo cite you a case. Being Invited by
some miners to help them out of their diffi
culty, ihad the striking miners appoint a com
mittee to wait upon the manager, with power
to act. This committee, together with the man
ager of the company and myself, got the scale
of wages paid at other mines for like work, and
In two days time we prepared a schedule that
the manager accepted. When presented to the
miners in mag meeting it was adopted, the
strike was declared off. and the men went back
to work.
Laborers and their employers should come to
gether as business men and do business in -a
business way. I tun heartily In favor tf the
kind of arbitration I have outlined, and. I be
lieve that 80 per cent of laborers aro willing at
all times to meet their employers and adjust
their grievances In a fair and Impartial man

and Contents Were Worth,
$200,0O0.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 7. The British
ship Franklnstan, laden with coal from
Newcastle. N. S. W., and bound for this
City, was abandoned at; sea on April 3.
Her cargo had been on fire three days,
and the vessel was In Imminent danger of
destruction. Captain Atkinson, of the
burning ship, his wife and crew of 26 men
were rescued by the schooner H. C.
Wright, and reached this port tonight
The Franklnstan sailed from Newcastle
for San Francisco on December 12 last,
with 3052 tons of coal from the Northern
Extended collieries. She was consigned
to J. J. Moore & Co., of this city, and
the ship and cargo were worth In the
neighborhood of $200,000, covered by Insur
ance. Captain Atkinson, of the Franklnstan,
gives the following account of the disas
ter which befell his ship:
"We left Newcastle on December 12 and
met with no mishap for over three
months. April 1. when we were In latitude
38:2 north, longitude 32:41 west, the odor
of gas wao noticed coming up the ven
tilators, and a few hours later smoke be
gan to ascend from the hatches. The
hatches were at onco battened down, and
the forward ventilators seamed. The after
ones were left open for the escape of the
gas.
"The next day, April 2, the smoke aris
ing from the hold Increased In volume,
but the veseel kept on under full pres
sure of sail. Shortly after 6 o'clock cm the
morning of April 3 the pent-up gas In the
ship's Interior exploded with a noise which
alarmed all on board, and soon flames
were darting above tho deck. An' hour or
so later another explosion shook the ship
from bowsprit to stern, and the threaten
ing flames rushed In sheets as high as the
foot of the topsail yard. We then aban
doned hope, and could only pray for deliv
erance. Then, as though guided by Prov
idence, the sugar schooner H. C. Wright
hove In 6lght Captain Wilson, of the
schooner, saw our plight and, after con
sulting with him. It was decided to aban
don the Franklnstan. All hands were
taken on board the Wright, and, though
our quarters were necessarily cramped,
we were treated with the greatest kind
ness, reaching San Francisco In excellent
health."
The Franklstan was: an iron ship of 2000
