on Ills Overland Journey From
Asia to America.
NOME, Alaska, Jihae 21. via San Fran
Cisco July 3. Captain Cottle, of the -whaler
William Bailey, arriving from the nortn
today, reports succoring Harry DeWindt
and his companion, George Harding, who
were In distress on the shore of Behring
Sea. DeWindt and Harding left Paris last
December, intending to make an overland
Journey acrots Asia to America, via the
Behring Straits. They traveled to Ya
kutsk, in Siberia, and proceeded thence
"by reindeer team to Nljnl Kolymlnsk, the
most northerly settlement in Russia, and
from thero they traveled a distance of
over 1500 miles onward.
Captain Cottle found the two explorers
at Whaddyluk, an uninhabited cove, which
is visited occasionally by passing whalers.
DeWindt and Harding were In a sorry
flight. They had a terrible trip across
the country: their provisions were almost
gone, and thry had reached the coaBt only
to find the ice -had gone out of the straits,
arid that It was impossible to accomplish
the perilous feat of crossing Behring
Straits oji the fee. The captain supplied
hejn with provisions, and he stated today
that he believes they will make their way
across in a native skin-boat.
TO RECLAIM IiAXD FOR OWN USB.
First Contract of Thin KindMade
Tit Oregon land Board.
EALfiM, Or., July 3. The first contract
for the reclamation of arid land to be
awarded In favor of men who Intend be
X'omins owners of the land, was given
yesterday in favor of an association of
men known as the Mathews Iand Recla
tnation Association. The men who form
the association are: John S. Mathews,
Valentine Stroble, August Stanger, Albert
E. Cotvles and Thomas W. Ayers, Jr.
They applied for 760 acres situated near
the town of Express, in Baker County.
As there are five men Interested, this will
make nearly ICO acres each, which is the
maximum that can be acquired by one
man under the arid land act.
Contract heretofore made have been in
lavor of corporations which undertake to
reclaim large tracts of land, relying for
their compensation upon their Hen upon
the land and future sales to settlers. They
have planned the irrigation of land upon a
large scale. In the present instance, how
ever the applicants will undertake to
irrigate only so much land as they may
wish to purchase for their own use.
It is stated in the application that there
are no streams upon the land, but the
water for Irrigation purposes will be sup
plied from artesian wells.
WILEY CATVNOT GO AS WITNESS.
No Authority to Take Convict to Col
orado In Diamond Robbery Case.
SAtEM,. Or., July 3.' Deputy United
States Marshal "Wilson, of Portland, was
at the capital today trying to get Kelly
Wiley, a convict in the Oregon peniten
tiary, who is wanted in Colorado to give
testimony before a United States Commis
sioner in a case in which Charles Savage,
the alleged diamond robber. Is defendant.
"Wilson has a subpena for Wiley, but the
penitentiary officials cannot see their way
clear to let the roan go. There Is a, law
providing that convicts may be taken
from the penitentiary to be heard as wit
nesses in the courts of this state, but
Chcre is no authority for letting the pris
oners go outside of the state. The super
intendent of the penitentiary is responsible
for the safe keeping of the men committed
to hia charge. And would be liable for any
escape that might occur while the pris
oners were taken to places not permitted
by law. There is some objection also to
taking a prisoner out of the state on a
subpena issued by a United States Com
missioner. If a subpena should be issued
by a United States Court In Colorado, it
is possible that a way may be found by
which Wiley may be conveyed to that
state without any danger of his gaining
his liberty on habeas corpus proceedings.
CANNERIES IN HARD LUCK.
Fire at Brlntol Bay Cause Lohb, and
Floor In One- Plant Collnpxes.
ASTORIA. Or., July 3. The first au
thentic Information concerning the nalmon
canneries on Nushagak River, Bristol Bay,
Alaska, since the opening of the season
there, was received last evening. The let
ter was dated June 10, and was taken to
Dutch Harbor by the steamer Mary D.
Hume, which was going there for coal.
It speaks in a most hopeful way of the
prospects for the Beacon, especially for
'the cannery of the Alaska Fishermen's
Packing Company. Everything in that
cannery Tvas in good condition for opera
tion, and tho boats were the first out by
three days. In that time they caught
enough king salmon to more than fill the
cans' that had been prepared for that class
of fish. Some of the-otheT canneries have,
however, had more or less trouble that
has delayed operations. The floor of the
cannery owned by the Portland-Alaska
Packers Association had collapsed, and
29,000 cans were badly dented, causing quite
a serious loss. The netracks at the Pa
cific Packing 8c Navigation , Company's
xannery .had been on fire, and half the
web owned by the cannery was destroyed.
Tho fire was thought to have been of
Incendiary origin and the act of some dis
satisfied fisherman. At the time the let
ter was written the Columbia River Pack
ers Association's -cannery had not started
Tip, as some troublo existed with the fish
ermen, but its nature the letter did not
state.

POISONED BY COPPER.
Japanese 31iniiiR District Reinjr Dec
imated by the Deadly Mineral.
Tokio Letter in tho Chicago News.
The fight between the capitalist and the
worklngman has begun in Japan, with a
tragedy worthy to be treated by the pen
of a great dramatist. The Ashio copper
mine, the property of Mr. Furukuwa, a
Japanese millionaire, is one of the great
est copper mines in the world, employing
over 12,000 men. This mine has been af
fecting thousands of acres of once fertile
land, ruining the crops, poisoning the do
mestic animals, and undermining the
health of a large population. All attempts
to obtain redress for the people have
failed, ueeplte the fact that the cause or
the sufferers has been championed by Mr.
Tanaka, a member of Parliament, who
has caused scenes of almost insane vio
lence In the diet by his attempts to obtain
what he considers justice for the people.
Tanaka even went the extreme length
for a Japanese of attempting. In Decem
ber last, personally to place a petition on
the subject In the hands of the Emperor
while that ruler was returning to the pal
ace after opening tho diet.
The tragedy was deepened a short time
ago by the iiclde of the millionaire mine
owner's wife. She, unfortunate lady, had
gone mad, and had been under observation
some time before her act of self-destruction,
which took place In a ditch by the
roadside, under the most distressing cir
cumstances. The millionaire himself is
now seriously 111, and his doctors will not
allow any newspapers to be brought Into
his room, owing to the fact that they fre
quently contain references to the awful
state of things at Ashio.
It is singular that llttlo or no sympathy
i extended to the sufferers by the press
or by the public The newspapers gen
erally side with the multimillionaire and
pour contempt and ridicule on the deci
mated people and on the one or two gen
erous publicists who have taken their
part. The government organs and the
ministers talk glibly of the Impossibility
of checking the poisoning all at once, and
neglect taking any action for checking
it at all by promising to appoint commis
sions of inquiry, although one commis
sion, which numbered among I tt members
some of the oldest scientists in Japan,
has already sent in a report which dis
closes the existence at Ashio of an awful
state of things.
Bnrdcniomc Legislation.
Chattanooga Times.
Speaking of burdensome legislation,
that South Carolina law which prohibits
any person from carrying a pistol, either
concealed or, unconcealed, unless It is at
least 20 inches long and weighs at least
three pounds, seems to have some claim;
to distinction. As the South Carolina
gentleman; can hardly be expected to give
up his traditional amusement he will
hereafter pull a gatllng gun about with
him.
LESS WORK FOR PUPILS
NEW COURSE OF STUDY FOR ORE
GON MAKES MANY CHANGES.
Optional With Teacher srs to When
the Student Shall Take up
Several Branches.
SALEM, Or., July S. State Superintend
ent Ackerman has almost completed his
new course of study to govern the schools'
of the state in the use of the new text
books. When the new text-books were
adopted a year ago, Superintendent Ack
erman issued a supplementary circular
to be used in connection with the old
course of study until a. trial of the new
books should determine the changes need
ed in a new course.
Generally speaking the new course Of
study will lessen the amount of work
laid out for the pupils in public schools.
In arithmetic, for example, it is left op
tional with teachers whether a text-book
ehall be placed in the hands of children
before the beginning of the fourth year.

Rhereas. in the past, the book has been
used In the- third year. It Is also left op
tional with the teachers to drop out of
the third-year work some of the less im
portant subjects in mathematics.
HlKher Geography Dropped.
Since the history of the United StateB
I growing rapidly, as ah?o is the Tcnowl
edge of the geography of the earth's
surface, the text-books on these subjects
have undergone a corresponding Increase
in size. The latest text-books present
more work for pupils, and it was found
advisable to drop the higher book, on
geography. This leaves a one-book
course In the place of a two-book course,
as heretofore.
In phjalology. the work has been as-

old course.
Thr- State Board of Text-Book Commis
sions has under consideration the adop
tion of the Higher Lessons In English, of
the same series now in use. Reed and
Kellogg. Should the higher book be
adopted, the course of study will be
changed so as to make the use of this
book optional in the higher grades. There
are a- number of well-graded schools .in
the state that find the grammar course
too short, as at present prescribed. With
the adoption of an additional text-book
those schools that need the extra work
can use it, while others can continue the
work laid out In the required course.
Tenchem Connulted as to Connie.
In preparing his new course of study
stmorintendent Ackerman secured tne
opinions of all the leading teachers in the
several counties of the state concerning
tVi trrrk that should ba done In each text
book in each year of the course. With
all these opinions before him. he con
structed a plan of. work which seemed to
him to meet the requirements of the pub
lic schools. The new course is now in
press, and will be ready for distribution
about the middle of the month. Copies
will be supplied In quantities to the Coun- J
ty Superintendents, from whom tney can
be secured by teachers.

' TJNIOX STOPS A FUNERAL.
X "ScnV DTnelc Driver Was Discov
ered In the Procession.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 3. That the
local hackmen's union is determined that
only initiated members, holding drivers'
cards, shall be employed, was evidenced
yesterday by the unusual spectacle of a
funeral procession being stopped fe front
of the Hall of Justice, when every driver
dismounted from his seat and refused to
proceed because It had been reported that
there was a nonunion man among them.
The men were employes of G. Marini,
from whoso stable the hacks were fur
nished. An Italian by tbe name of Fran
cis Ceaugno had been placed as driver on
one of the hacks before a driver's card
had been issued to him by the local union.
He was forced to dismount, and after the
owner of the carriage had been installed
the procession continued on to the cem

BAKER CITY, Or., July 3. The Elks
have decided to erect a temple In this"

some time trying to secure a site for the
building, and at the last meeting of the
lodge reported that it had succeeded. The
work of erecting the building is fo be
commenced at once, and If possible the
structure will be completed this year.
Baker City is fortunate in this par
ticular. The Masons own a. handsome
temple, recently completed, and the Odd
Fellows have owned one of the largest
brick buildings on Main street for several
years. The Knights Of Pythias own a
lot on which they will soon erect a large
building. This will make four secret so

Tiave shown the total number of votes cast
at the election. Heretofore It has been
possible to ascertain the highest number
of votes cadt for the candidates for any
j office, and that has always been taken as
the total number of votes cam. The law
Tcqulres that the retunfSshall show how
many persons wqnt to the polls and de
posited ballots in the box, whether the
ballots were marked for more than one
man or not. It required persistent effort
on the pait of the Secretary of State to
secure compliance with the hvr and the
returns from nearly every county were
sent back for correction before the total
could bo determined.
' There is reason to believe that the fall
uro to exprcfa a choice for some oltices
was due to carelessness or negligence.
Every man who went to tho polls had In
terest enough to want to cast a ballot, and
since so many cast incomplete ballots. It
would seem that they overlooked many
candidates, some overlooking one and
some another. There Is one circumstance
that ecems to confirm this view. It will
be remembered that on the state ticket
the names of candidates for the offices of
Supreme Judge. Secretary of State, and
State Treasurer were In the first column
while the names of candidates for Super
intendent of Public Instruction, State
Printer and Attorney-General were in the
second column. It will also be noticed
that nbout tw!c as manv failed to vote
i f0r candidates in the second column as
failed to vote for those In the first col-
I publican." It was at first announced that
both the Democratic candidate were

In some districts the legislative candi
dates were not grouped according to party
as required by law, but Republicans, Dem
ocrats. Socialists and Prohibitionists were
mixed together accdrdlng to the alphabet-
leal order of their names.
' Some of the County Clerks left no blank
, places for the insertion of names other
than those printed on the ballots. Secre-

AS TO 150 MILES AN HOUR
Poaclullltr of Locomotive and Men
Standing: the Strain.
Indianapolis News.
Can an engine haul a train at a speed of
350 miles an hour? That is the question
that was asked of a number of englnemcn
on different roads. They all agreed that
the science of engine-building might in
time develop so that an enrine could be
built to make the speed, but said that they
were engine-runtters, not engine-builders.
"Can a man stand It to drive an engine
at that speed?" was asked of a Pennsyl
vania englneman.
"I suppose," said he "that a man could
stand it for a little while. The general
public has no idea of the strain on tho
englneman. and the faster the speed the
greater tho strain. When you get up to
CO miles an hour you are going the pace
that makes young men old. When an
englneman on one of the fast trains that
run into this city leaves his seat he Is
often nervous and worn out. He is some
times in tho condition that in a woman
would be called hysterical.
"There are men on this road In fact, on
all roads, who will not take a fast passen
ger run. They are splendid freight run
ners, but when they get on a passenger
train they cannot make the time, and no
matter how much they dislike to do so,
they have to go back to a freight train.
The englneman must keep his eyes riveted
on the rails ahead of him. He must be pre
pared to see nny danger that may sudden
ly present Itself, and he must be watch
ing for signals at stations and in blocks.
"This is -a terrible train on the nerves
of his eyes, and it is bound to tell on a
man before long, especially If he has a
great deal of night running. At night the
shadows bother him a great deal, and
many an englneman has been badly scared
by them. In faer, everything- about run
ning an engine tends to rack the brain
and disturb the nerves. If the engines
get to running 150 mile an hour a neV
set of men With new kinds of constitu
tions must be secured to run them."
R. L. Ettinger, mechanical engineer of
the Bijr Four, and a recognized authority
In his line, was asked If an engine could
be driven 150 miles an hour.
"Not as they are constructed at pres
ent," replied Mr. Ettinger. "All the
power in an engine of the ordinary size is
exhausted In running it at a speed of 85
miles an hour, although it could not, haul
a train at that speed. The highest speed
attained by an engine is 100 miles an
hour, and that under the most favorable
circumstances, and for a short distance.
"Before a greater speed could be at
tained, there must be a radical change In
the construction of locomotives. If a

wheel large enough for that speed wat
made, the internal friction of the entfn
would use up all the power. Then there
would have to be a radical change In
track-building for an engine to make 150
nv.les an hour. At the present time the
track curves are elevated for a speed
averaging 0 miles an hour, and the more
speed the more elevation needed."
"Do you think It is possible for an en
glneman to drive a locomotive 150 miles
an hour?"
"That is a question that is hard to an
swer. Men do things every day that at
first seem impossible, and I would not
want to say that It would be Impossible
for an englneman to drive a locomotive
at that speed. But If he did he would
havo to be protected a great deal more
than he Is now. For instance, he could not
put his head out of the cab window as
he does now, for the force of the wind
would be so great that he could not
breathe. And there are a good many
things that would have to be changed
before a locomotive could haul a train ISO
miles on hour. This Is a problem that
up io this time no one to my knowledge
has tried to solve the- speed problem along
the lines you suggest."
HOW TO GROW CARNATIONS
Pnt Plants in & Sunny Spot and
Wntejf Frequently.
Chicago Chronicle.
The carnation likes a sunny situation
and should bo free from the Immediate
neighborhood of taller plants. A little soot
and ashes may be scattered between the
rows and worked Into the soil wjth bene
fit to the plants. They should be culti
vated thoroughly during the Summer and
abundantly supplied with water. Carna
tions, from seed, grown in the open
ground, will not give many flowers the
first season, being properly a biennial,
but should be well protected during the
Winter, and the following Summer will
give quantities of flowers until cut down
by frost The plant3 that have been
grown in pots should be Bhifted Into
larger pots from time to time as the
pots fill with roots, disturbing the bail
of the earth as little as possible; weak
liquid manure may be given once a week
afte the plants are In four-inch pots.
Increasing: the amount somewhat as Fall
, approaches and buds appear. By Novem
ber the plants should be in four or five
Inch pots and ready to bloom. Buds that
appear during the Summer Should be re
moved and the strength of the plant re
served for Winter blooming.
A sunny window in Winter, where the
temperature will not reach much above
55 degrees Is most congenial 6 t4 ax-
'hation. the usual air and temperature "o'f
the living room being much toawar'm'and

heat, that Is, one that receives its heat
from another room, suits them, admirably
and this room should be thoroughly aired
every day, care being taken to protect
the plants from drafts while this Is be
ing done. A screen that can be pushed
between the plants and the open doOr la
a great convenience and protection.
