ical attempt was made at an early hour
this morning to chloroform a family of
seven persons, with the object, it is pre
sumed of abducting Eva McCaffrey, a
quarter-breed Indian girl. The perpe
trator of the deed Is said to have been

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MIXES.
Capitalist in Baker City District to
Be More Open.
BAKER CITY, July 6. It Is a notorious
fact that the great majority of the people
of Oregon do not appreciate the import
ance of the Eastern Oregon mining fields.
Millions of dollars in gold have been
taken out of the placer and quartz mines
of this region, during the past 40 years,
but for some unaccountable reason the
mining Industry of this region has never
attained the prominence that, under or
dinary conditions, It Is Justly entitled to.
Idaho. Montana, Utah and Colorado have
all made greater strides toward the pin
nacle of fame, in a mining way, than has
Oregon, yet neither of these states can
boast of a mining district that has pro
duced more wealth in proportion to the
amount of work done and money expend
ed, than the Eastern Oregon gold fields.
Perhaps one of the main reasons for the
failure of this region to forge ahead and
become famous Is the want of a concert
of effort on the part of the people most
directly interested the mining men them
selves. No matter jvhat the reason may
be. It is a fact that Eastern Oregon, as a
mining region, is less known than many
other mining .fields with far less to com
mend them to the confidence of the gen
eral public.
It has always been considered the prop
er thing for the people Interested, say, in
farming and fruitgrowing. In a new and
promising country where the known hin
drance to its growth and prosperity was
the want of population to make a special
effort to call the attention of the world at
large to the wonderful productiveness of
their new settlement. If the story is well
told and the new garden spot will stand
the test of personal Investigation, the re
sult Is always satisfactory.
The legitimate mining operators of East
ern Oregon are fast coming to the conclu
sion that'lt is time that "facts should be
submitted to 4 candid world." There la a
movement on foot to organize some kind
of a society or corporation, the purpose of
which will be to collect and present the
plain truth In regard to the mining Indus
try of Eastern Oregon, real and prospect
ive, to the "candid world."
This movemrnt Is as nearly devoid of
selfishness as anything of a like nature
can be, where success means general
prosperity for the Inhabitants of the com
munity. No affair of the proportions
which this promises to be can eliminate
the spirit of self-interest, because that Is
the mainspring of almost every well-directed
effort of public or private nature.
Outside capital Is very essential to the
development of most new countries, and
this Is especially true of a mining coun
try. Industrious new settlers will develop
an agricultural country, but It is money
that is the principal ingredient, as a rule,
of a successful mining enterprise.
A mining boom is not desired, in the
general acceptance of the term "boom."
There Is no desire to present the claims
of any particular mining .corporation for
consideration to gain the confidence of
the public in order to work a bunco stock
deal. What Is desired Is that the known
and prospective wealth of the district
may be shown In such a way as to Inspire
confidence in the minds of capitalists with
monoy to invest In legitimate enterprises.
Probably the first move along the Un
suggested will be the preparation nt a
carefully-selected mineral exhibit to oe
placed on exhibition at the International
Mining Congress which is to meet at
Butte in September. Some of the largest
and richest mines in this region are owned
and controlled by close corporations that
do not have any stock on the market, the
owners of which have no special desire to
boom this district, because they have
nothing to sell, but on the contrary are in
the market to pick up anything that
promises well. There will be exhibits
from these mines, however, because the
owners are desirous of promoting the
movement to present the facts about
Eastern Oregon mines to the public In
such a way as to accomplish the mot
good to the entire community.

a ranch on Camas Prairie, will grieve to
learn that he recently met with a dis

when the animal became frightened and
forced the other horse over a steep point.

brother of the late L. B. Cox, the well
known Portland lawyer.

HOTEL AT THE DALLES BURNED
COURTHOUSE DAMAGED. '
Fire Started From Coaloll "Lamp

Records Are Safe.
THE DALLES. Or., July 6. As the re
sult of a fire which destroyed the Euro
pean Hotel at an early hour this morning
Wasco County's handsome Courthouse Is
a water-soaked and seriously wrecked
building. About 2 o'clock flames were dis
covered Issuing from the roof of the hotel,
tho rear of the building being a roaring
mass of Are before the fire department
reached the scene. Two cottages in the
rear of tho main building quickly lgnitea
the whole, burning so fiercely as to menace
the surrounding blocks on all ' sides. A
narrow alley separated tho hotel from the
Courthouse, which was continually
drenched by the firemen. Although a brick
structure, the intense heat from the burn
ing hotel communicated the fire through
the north cornices, the flames creeping the
entire length of the roof and through the
clock tower before they could be con
trolled. In order to reach the blaze holes
were ripped through the roof and ceilings
In tho upper story, where its spread was
confined to the upper portion of the build
ing and clock tower
Tho European Hotel, which was operated
by Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Fraser, Is a total
loss. Little or none of the contents were
saved. The house was filled with lodg
ers, -who saved a portion of their belong
ings. The building was owned by W. H.
Wilson, and was valued at $3000; insured
for $1750. There was also some small In
surance on the contenta
The Courthouse was built In the early
"80s, at a cost of about $25,000. It was a
well-equipped, commodious building. Every
portion of It Is more or less Injured, the
Sheriff's office and Jail suffering least.
No damage occurred to the county rec
ords, which were placed In the steel fire
proof vault of the Clerk's office at the out
break of the fire. The prisoners In the
Count' Jail wero removed to the City Jail.
The second story and roof of the building
are badly wrecked. It Is estimated that
$7000 will repair the damage. The Court
house was insured in various companies
for about 116.000.
Trifling damage was also done to a
building owned by the A. Bottlngen estate,
and one belonging to Dr. William Shackle

PROGRESS OF POLITIOS.
Fulton Claims Supporters In Marlon
Delegation.
SALEM, Or., July 6. Preparations for
the celebration of the Fourth took prece
dence over nearly all other publlo mat
ters during the last two weeks, and little
has been heard in the world of state
politics. Ten days ago Senator Fulton
was in Marion County in the interest of
his Senatorial campaign, and caused for
the time some discussion of the Senatorial
fight that is to come off next Winter.
Fulton called upon several members of
the Legislature from this county, and it
is said that he feels encouraged to be
lieve that he will get several votes In the
delegation from this county. Friends of
Governor Geer, however, say that al
most the entire delegation will be for the
Governor in the first instance, and will
change to some other candidate as the
fight waxes worm. Governor Geer has
made two trips to Eastern Oregon since
election, and spent several days on each
trip. Whllo the principal purpose of his
visits was personal, it is generally be
lieved that he found, occasion while in
that section to talk over political pros
pects with his friends. t
With tho exception of a. few men whose
affiliations are well known, there Is little
mention of members of the Legislature
as either "Geer men" or "Fulton men."
As the campaign for tho organization of
the Legislature begins to take on activ
ity, it may be expected that members of
the Legislature will line up on one side
or another. Senator Fulton has said that
he will make no effort whatever to In
fluence the organization of the House,
but as he Is a member of the Senate, he
may be expected to take a prominent part ;
in tho selection of officers for that body.
No mention Is heard of any candidates
for Legislative offices other than Presi
dent of tho Senate and Speaker of the
House, and no new names have been
heard in connection with these offices.
Contest Before the Senate.
Man' are of the opinion that the con
test over the Senatorshlp from Lion
County will take place in the courts, as
do most election contests. Such Is not
the case. The constitution provides that
each house shall Judge the election, quali
fications and returns of its own members.
M. A. Miller, Democrat, thus far appears
to have been elected In Linn County by
a plurality of two votes. Tho friends of
Senator Kelly say that errors were made
In the count by which Miller was given
more votes than should have been count
ed for him. If Kelly. Republican, conv
tests the election, the matter will go first
before the Senate committee on creden
tials and finally before the Senate Itself,
when the report of the committee comes
up for adoption. In every election many
ballots are marked in such a manner that
It Is a question how they should be count
ed and whether they should be counted at
all. Since the margin Is too close, Kelly's
friends expect to be able to find more
than enough votes counted Improperly to
show that Miller was in the minority.
What the voter Intended by his tnarks on
the ballot is often so uncertain that
Judges may easily differ.
"Candidates for the Penitentiary."
The contest for the superintendence of
the penitentiary is becoming a warm one.
The leading candidates and, in fact, tho
only candidates mentioned here are ex
Sheriff F. W. Durbin and W. H. Down
ing. The impression has been general In
other parts of the state that Durbin had
practically a walk-over for the place,
but Downing seems to be giving him a
lively run. Durbln's friends think that
his work for the party In this county
and his efficient service as Sheriff make
him the most acceptable man for the
place. Downlng's friends urge that, as
Democratic county chairman, their favor
ite foiled up a big vote for Chamberlain 1n
this county, and In accordance with po
litical usage Is entitled to recognition. It
was believed that one of these two men
would certainly land In the coveted po
sition, until a few days ago. when some
doubt was raised "by the candidacy of Dr.
W. S. Mott for the posftion of physician
at the penitentiary. Mott's candidacy
throws Just a shadow of doubt on the
probability of the superintendency com
ing to Marion County at all.
Governor Chamberlain will have few po
litical favors to distribute aside from the
patronage at the state prison. If rolling
up Democratic votes entitles a man to
favorable consideration, there are men in
Umatilla, Union, Baker, Multnomah, Linn,
Wasco and numerous other counties who
should be given places in the peniten
tiary, and Mott's friends think it will be
sufficient If Marion County supplies the
physician for the Institution, and Demo,
crats elsewhere get the remainder of the
offices. Mott was Democratic county
chairman two years ago. The friends of
Durbin and Downing won't listen to the
suggestion that the superintendency be
apportioned to any other county than
Marlon.
Aside from the dozen or more positions
to be filled at the penitentiary. Mr.
Chamberlain will have the appointment
of a State Land Agent and a commandant
at the Soldiers' Home.
Shot Wife and Two Children.
CHICAGO. July 6. Taking his revenge
(for a auarrel of long standing, Theodore
I Oefcur, a laborer, shot and killed his wife
today as- she lay asleep In bed. He then
shot his baby son and his stepdaughter,
Lizzie Stramm, who were sleeping with
his wife, wounding the former probably
fat illy an dputtlng a bullet In the lat
ter's shoulder. Oefeur also fired at his
two stepsons, but missed them. He then

him.
LOUISIANA'S ENTERPRISE.
Appropriation of $100,000 for Repre
sentation at the St. Lonls Fair.
WORLD'S FAIR" GROUNDS, ST.
LOUIS, July 6. The Legislature of Lou
isiana 'has passed the bill appropriating
$100,000 for the state representation at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition. This is
the full amount recommended by Gov
ernor Heard. The Louisiana state build
ing will be a reproduction of the famous
Cabeido, or town hall, erected In New
Orleans somewhat more than 100 years
ago, In which the transfer of sovereignty
over the great Louisiana territory took
place. By far the greater part of the
appropriation will be used to bring to the
attention of exposition visitors the many
Important Industries and industrial possi
bilities of Louisiana. The state has awak
ened to a new era of Industrial progress
through tne development of rice culture,
lumber, oil and salt production. While
the old standard crop, cotton, must con
tinue to receive a large measure of at
tention, the new diversity of Industry
has brought in a new era of prosperity
to Louisiana, which has given rise to the
leslrc to have the state better known.
The opportunity to do this will come with
the great exposition In 1904.
SATIRE ON MORGAN.
Vienna Paper's Comment on
His
Lnnch With "William.
VIENNA, July 6,-The Neue Frele Presse
has published a satirical editorial on the
fact that J. P. Morgan took luncheon -with
Emperor WHJlam on board the Imperial
yacht Hohenzollern at Kiel, July 3. Tho
paper remarks:
"Without his check book, Mr. Morgan
would never have been the Emperor s
guest."
a. ne article harps throughout on the
probabilities of misfortune overtaking the
"Napoleon of Misfortune." and says that
"gilded by the Imagination, his trusts ap
pear to be excellent, but that the first mo
ment, public confidence is disturbed, the
system will undergo a severe trial."
The paper concludes by saying:
"Could a thoughtful reader have pene
trated the secret recesses of the minds of
Emperor William and his guest, what
startling contrast might he not have dis
covered! In Emperor William's mind, a
yearning for fame and splendor; in that
of Mr. Morgan, the hope of new trusts
and rising prices. How fortunate It Is that
social politeness veils such opposltesl"
The German Bourse.
BERLIN, July 6. Transactions on the
bourse last week were light, but mat
ters were well maintained. Owing to the
fact that new money from the semi-annual
Interest payments is seeking invest
ment, German loans wero slightly firmer.
Some foreign rails improved. Italians ad
vanced upon home orders, while Portu
guese were moBt active. Russians and
Argentines were better. Industrials were
Irregular. Irons were mostly higher upon
reports of American purchases of Ger
man Iron. Coal shares were generally
lower, and machinery and electrical shares
were down. Shares of the Hamburg
American Steam Packet Company and of
the North German Lloyd Line were sold
steadily In Hamburg and Bremen, and
each lost one point. Canadian Pacifies
were bought for New York account, ad
vancing 2.50. Money rates have been re
ceding since the settlement. The unusu
ally heavy discount of the Reichsbank
are not connected with the trade or de
mands of tho bourse, but are due to mort
gage payments and the requirements of
the government It Is expected that dis
counts will recover rapidly. Bank stocks
wero neglected last week, but shares of
the Deutscho Bank were higher upon the
dlsbandment of the syndicate which Is
handling the Burlington deal.
The London Exchange.
LONDON, July 6. While money was
easier last week, the stock exchange was
not very cheerful. The release of July
dividends and large government dis
bursements enabled the market to repay
about 8,000000 of tho sum It had bor
rowed from the bank, but 6.000.000 are
still owing. Large shipments of gold are
now due from South Africa, but they are
largely offset by the withdrawal of sov
ereigns for South Africa last week. There
Is every prospect for cheap money for the
next two months.
Tho encouraging news concerning King
Edward did not improve business on the
exchange. Prices generally were marked
up, but this was tho result mostly of
Jobbers bidding against themselves. In
vestment stocks will probably continue to
keep up, but the South African depart
ment la getting worse instead of better.
There Is a fair prospect for a revival In
Americans, but home rails were dull and
there was little action in industrials.
To Investigate Panama Canal Title.
WASHINGTON, July 5. Assistant Attorney-General
Charles W. Russell Is com
pleting his preparations, and within a
week will start for Paris to Investigate
the ability of the new Panama Canal
Company to give the United States a sat
isfactory title to concessions and property
on the Isthmus. When this preliminary
work shall have proceeded to a certain
point, the Attorney-General, according to
the President's expressed wlBh, will prob
ably go over and personally look Into the
matter. He has asked Senator Spooner to
go along and assist him. In view of the
Senator's well-known familiarity with the
matter and the Attorney-General's opin
ion of his ability, and hopes that he
will go.
Rovr About a Cow.
A common, everyday cow caused a
pitched battle yesterday between the
Webb family and the owner, Nate Rosen
thal, near East Nineteenth and Pacific
streets. Common report is that Rosen
thal had been staking his cow in places
objectionable to the neighbors, and there
has been a good deal of contention over
the matter, which culminated In a row. In
which Rosenthal came off second best. He
staked his cow In a place objectionable to
the Webbs, and the boys turned loose on
him. For a time the air was filled with
clubs and stone.", and Rosenthal was
knocked down several times before he re
tired from the battle-ground. He seemed
to be badly bruised.

ognize the officers of the union. This was
unsatisfactory to the men.
The State Board of Arbitration has been
trying to prevent a strike, but the men
said they were tired waiting for the, rail
roads to take some action, and the de
cision at tonight's meeting was the re
sult. The strike, in all probability, will
Involve the teamsters1, as the latter have
declared they will not deliver freight to
the railroads If it is to be handled by non
union men.
It Is extremely probable that an ulti
matum will be put to the roads tomorrow
morning. Twenty-six railroads centering
in Chicago are Involved.
MITCHELL WENT TO XEW YORK.
Went to Co.nfer With Lenders of
Other Labor Organisations.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., July 6. President
Mitchell, of the Miners' Union, left here
at noon for New York. He slipped out so
quietly and unexpectedly that only two or
three persons around strike headquarters
knew of his departure. There is an ele
ment of mystery about his Journey, but the
Associated Press learns on trustworthy
authority that ho went to meet leaders
of other labor organizations. The pur
pose of the meeting is not definitely known
here, but it is understood to have direct
bearing on the question of labor organiza
tions affiliating with the American Feder
ation of Labor assisting the miners finan
cially. It Is known that some of these
organizations, through their National offi
cers, have expressed their willingness to
help In this way. Mr. Mitchell may also
meet the officials of railway unions or
other organizations that can assist his
people by other than financial means.
Ho will, it Is expected, return hero tomor
row. He Is booked to address the dele
gates of District L at their annual con
vention at Nantlcoke, which begins to
morrow.
Tomorrow will begin the third month of
tho great coal strike. There have been
many rumors and opinions published that
certain coal companies would within a
few days attempt to start certain collier
ies. Officials of the big companies who are
willing to talk deny all knowledge of any
attempt of their respective companies to
start work. They say, however, that the
number of men applying for work Is grow
ing larger each week. Many of them are
given employment, and the names of the
others are placed on tho waiting list. The
number of miners among tho applicants
who are applying for work Is very small,
and so long as the miners themselves re
frain from going to the collieries no coal
can bo mined. The correspondent of the
Associated Press today sought the opinion
of strikers' officials as to how long they
expected the strike to last, and those of
mining superintendents as to whether the
price of coal will go up or down during the
coming Fall. Tho labor leaders were unan
imous in the belief that the strike will
still be on September 1 If the operators
Lmake no concessions. The company offi
cials were of tho opinion that the prlco
of coal during tho remainder of this year
will not go below present figures, and may
go higher.
Mitchell's Hopeful Talk.
NEW YORK, July 6.-John Mitchell,
president of the Mlneworkers, arrived In
New York tonight. He said ho was In the
city only to see some friends off to Eu
rope tomorrow. He said he would see no
one while In New York on strike matters,
nor would he talk about the coming Na
tional meeUng of mlneworkers at In
dianapolis. As to the anthracite strike,
Mr. Mitchell said:
"The strike Is going on all right and In
our favor. We are not discouraged by
our work since the beginning of the
strike. We will win. No men have gone
back at alL"
UNITED STATES TAKES A HAND.
Revenue Cotter nnd Launch to Scour
the Coast.
SEATTLE, July 6. United States forces
have been Impressed for service for the
hunt after the fuglUve Tracy, the revenue
cutter Grant and the revenue launch Scout
being detailed this morning Immediately
upon receipt of advices concerning Tracy's
escape to Port Madison and away from
there In a rowboat. Before sailing the two
vessels took aboard a posse under W. C.
Hammond. Sheriff of Jefferson County.
The men are specially selected for service
In tho woods. The Sheriff Is one of the
most experienced woodsmen in this; part
of the country.
The Government vessels proceeded to
Seabeck. and from thero will go to Brln
non, thus preventing escape to the coast
by Hood's Canal and the Olympic Moun
tains. The latter, being sparsely settled,"
would furnish almost an impregnable
stronghold for the convict, should he suc
ceed In reaching them.
At a late hour this afternoon a report
was received from Port Ludlow to the
effect that a small skiff was seen between
Foulweathcr Bluff and Ludlow Head,
crossing rapidly. The skiff was too far off
to be distinctly seen. The fact was re
ported to the officers.
A special dispatch to the Post-Intelll-gencer
from Its Washington (D. C.) corre
spondent reads as follows: "No order was
Issued from the Treasury Department di
recting the revenue cutter Grant to Join
In the chase for Tracy. It was explained
by Assistant Secretary Alles tonight that
If the Grant had sailed on this errand the
commander of the vessel has probably
acted upon his own responsibility or under
the direction of the Collector of Customs
at Port Townsend. In either event, Mr.
Alles said the action would have been
justified without specific orders from the
department."

graphical Union, No. 16, admitted that its
policy with regard to the federation had
been a mistake, its delegates would bo
seated at the next meeting of the federa
tion. President Gompers later refused to com
ment on his defeit. Typographical Union

of Labor because the printers failed to
support the pressmen while on a strike a
year ago.
