HOLDS REWARD DUE
Warden Janes Favors Paying
$1500 for Merrill's Body.
WOULD GIVE TO MRS. WAGGONER
Good Effect on Discipline at Oregron
Penitentiary Held to Be "Worth
the Sum Would Encourage
Search, for Tracy
EALKSI, Or., July 90.-Flret Warden J.
T. Janes, of the Oregon penitentiary, cre
ated a stir In official circles this afternoon
by giving out an interview, in "which he
differed radically from his superior of
ficer regarding the payment of the reward
lor the return of Merrill's body. He con
tends that the whole amount offered for
the capture and return of Merrill, $1500,
should be paid. Superintendent Lee of
fered Mrs. Waggoner ?300. Superintend
ent l?e declines to say anything regarding
JMr. Janes' statement, which is as fol
io ws:
"Since there is no doubt that the recov--ered
remains are those of Merrill, there
should not be the slightest hesitation on
the part of the state in the prompt pay
ment to Mrs. Waggoner of the entire
amount named in the reward. The state
cannot afford to be niggardly in this mat
ter, because of the unpleasant reputation
It will receive; in fact, has already re
ceived throughout the country in relation
to its treatment of the criminal class. The
effect on the discipline of the penitentiary
that resulted in the return to the institu
tion and tho burial of the remains of one
of the escaped desperadoes has in itself
been worth more than the amount of the
reward,
"There is a second, and even greater
roaaon why the reward should be paid
Mfs. Waggoner the failure of the State
of Oregon promptly and liberally to re
ward the return of Merrill's body has
discouraged many who have been pursu
ing Tracy, and the result is that large
numbers hao entirely abandoned the
.search for the remaining bandit, since the
hope of adequate reward has been largely
removed by the state's tardy action in
the consideration of the claim presented
for the return of Merrill's body.
"Hence, for two distinct reasons I think
Mrs. Waggoner is entitled to the full re
ward. First, because she returned Mer
rill's body, and because of the benellcial
effect resulting in the general discipline
Of the institution; second, for the reason
that by Its action in the matter the state
is retarding the search for Tracy. I do
not wish to be understood as particularly
criticising the Judgment of my superiors,
but at the same time I have my own opin
ion, and I do not hesitate to express my
self in the matter."
In all the discussion that has taken
place regarding the payment of the re
ward for the return of the body of Convict
David Merrill, those taking an interest in
the matter have proceeded upon the the
ory that Superintendent Lee, of the peni
tentiary, or Governor Geer have money
with which to pay the reward. Such 13 not
the case. Neither of them has any public
funds with which to pay rewards, nor can
the money be secured through any other
than the usual channels by filing a claim
with the Secretary of State and securing
a warrant upon the Stae Treasurer. The
Secretary of State Is, therefore, the state
official who Anally passes upon the mat
ter before it reaches the courts. The
statutes authorize the superintendent of
the penitentiary to offer rewards, but no
specific provision is made for payment.
According to the statutes and a recent
decision of the Supreme Court, the Secre
tar of State "Is required, when a claim
is presented, to look to the law, and de
termine whether the claimant has brought
himself within any of its provisions allow
ing him compensation. In other words,
before allowing the claim, he must be able
to put his linger upon some Jaw which
gives the claimant a standing in his
tribunal upon which he can demand pay
ment by the state."
It is, therefore, foe-the Secretary or State
to say whether the Under of the body of
Merrill has earned the money by fulfilling
the conditions of the law and th offer
of reward. Of course, the recommenda
tion of Superintendent Lee would be taken
into consideration b the Secretary of
State, and in all ordinary matters the "O.
K." of the superintendent Is all that is
xequlred on penitentiary claims. Never
theless, the Secretary of State is not
bound one wa or another by the action
of the superintendent. Section SS70. of
the coe'e. says that "the superintendent
ihall have authont to offer rewards and
to pay exptnscs for the apprehension,
safekeeping and return of all escaped pris
oners." Hut the superintendent has no
xnonry to paj out. The popular belief
that Superintendent Lee has $3000 in his
hands which he is holding back and re
fusing to pay is, therefore, erroneous.
The reward, If paid, will come either
from the 184,000 appropriated fpr the
maintenance and general and contingent
expenses of the penitentiary or tho $C0O0
appropriated for the expenses Incurred in
the arrest and return of fugitives from
justice. The payment would probably be
from th.o former fund.

L..VRGE MIXING DEAL.
Valuable Iron Deposits Xcar Spo
kane Are to Be Developed.
SPOKANE, July 30. J. D. Farrell, wno
is closely associated with James J. Hill,
closed a deal today for the purchase of
SI iron claims at Valley, Wash., north of
"Spokane, for a price known to exceed
$25,000 cash, and supposed to ,be $33,000.
Mr. Farrell will go ahead at once with
development of tho claims. The iron de
posit has been examined by experts, who
pronounce it exceptionally high grades
It carries 6S per cent iron, while the limit
which hematite can cirry is 72 per cent
It will cost much money to develop the

"HOUSE OF HOO
CLUBHOUSE THAT KVILL BE USED FOR ENTERTAINMENT OF LUMBERMEN.
The "House of Hoo-HoO" is the corporate name of nn organization made up of lumbermen, railroad traffic officials, lum
ber newFpaper men and sawmill supply men. Its existence is due to the fact that different bodies of lumbermen In various
parts of the country almost simultaneously took up the question of building a clubhouse on the grounds of the Louisiana Pur
chase Exposition, tobe held in St. Louis in 1004. It la the comblnatlonof the Ideasand plana of the dlfferen bodies. The
plan and scope are far-reachlngr- The main idea Is to construct a building on the grounds of the exposition for the accommo
dation of lumbermen. It will be fitted up with all comforts and conveniences. The plans of the building are now In the bands
of architects.
The ground floor Is to be In the form of -the symbolic letter f'H." which has been chosen partly because It thoroughly
utilized tbe space. The construction will be entirely of wood and otaft, and It will serve as an object-lesson to the visitors at
the exposition, in showing the architectural utility of wood construction.
In the Cnlshlnc of the building the various lumber associations will be asked to take part. The manufacturers cf red
gum have nlready applied for the use of a room in which they can demonstrate to the public that this most despised of woods
Is a beautiful building material, and that It has not, when properly treated, the undesirable traits usually attributed to It.
It Is the Idea to put In gum flooring, to wainscot thevvralls, panel the celllrgs, and build a mantel all of gum, and even have
in place a few pieces of gum furniture, to show what can be done by furniture men with wood.
It is expected that the yellow pine, poplar, redwood, cypress and other lumber associations will each take a room and so
finish It with their various commodities as to show the highest art yet attained in the treatment of wood for Interior finish.
There can be no competition for awards in this building, but it will be a school at which even a lumbermen can learn a great
deal concerning tho finishing and treatment of wooda with which be is not familiar. .
The building will be luxuriously furnished. Besides the usual reception-rooms and parlors, there will be a cafe, reading
and corespondence room, billiard and poolroom and postofllce. As it Is probable that many lumber conventions will be held
at St. Louis during the fair, a large room will be provided for that purpose, which may serve as a banquet hall. If necessary.
A special department In charge of maids will be set apart for women. In this the wives and daughters of the members can
rest, order their meals and be entirely secluded.
AH told, the club will require the raising of about $100,000. It has ben decided to have a membership ot 0000, and to
place the membership fe at ?8 03. The membership fee will cover the entire liability ot the members, as there will be no
dues. A man need not be a member of the Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo to Join this club, but it Is necessary that all
members come within the eligibility clause of the order. "'
be pushed forward rapidly nnd the mill
will bo in operation by December. About
2000 cubic yards of rock-work will be nec
essary and bids on this have been asked
for.
The basement of the Portland General
Electric Company'3 dock, now occupied
by an Ice factory, "will be used in con
nection with the new mill. The building
proper will be 120 feet long, but the com
pany will build out head works to the
edge of the basin. The basement of the
wharf Is 69 feet wide and the addition will
be 40 feet, making tho mill about 100x120.
The company will frame In a new bulk
head and supply water for the wheels
through a steel pipe. Ten thousand
horsepower will be dcvelope'd and 10
tons of pulp will be manufactured dally.
The Ice factory will probably be removed
further down stream.
After the new mill is in operation the
company will still continue to run ItB
pulp mill on the west side of the river
where the main plant is situated. About
250 men are now employed In the Crown
Paper Company's mills in this city. The
new pulp mill will give employment to
CO more men and increase the pay-roll of
the company over $30,000 a year.

of constructing a wier. This company
has extensive improvements in contem

WHEAT CROP OF UMATILLA
YIELD WILL BE ABOUT 500,000
BUSHELS LESS THAN USUAL.
fHIsh Wind Responsible for the De
crease Barley Also Suffers Oth
er Crops Promise Well.
PENDLETON, Or-July 30. (SpeclaU
The wheat crop of Umatilla County tnu
year iwlll be about 3,500,000 bushels, or 15
per cent les3 than was expected a fort-J
night ago, and that amount under the
average production. The decrease is due
to tho severe wind storm which swept
over the grain district a fortnight ago.
Charles Frazler, one of the best posteu
men on the situation In the county, esti
mated that the wind shattered 20 per
cent of the wheat out of the heads 'all
over the Umatilla reservation, while much
of the Spring wheat which was not ripe
enough to shatter was prostrated upon
the ground so that It cannot Abe harvested.
Mr. Frazler estimates thafloss from the
storm outside the reservation at 10 per
cent of the crop. Besides the less on
wheat, barley, which was ripe when tno
storm swept the county, was so gener
ally ruined that many fields are not
worth harvesting. Much of the wheai
will not number one. and. In some parts
of the county, notably in the McKay
Creek region, south of Pendleton, it is
greatly damaged by smut.
On the other hand, the country west of
Pendleton, the Echo region, which Is a
rather unreliable wheat producer, some
years the crop falling entirely, has a
splendid crop this year on a largely InJ
creased acreage. About Milton. Weston
and Atbena, and near the Blue Mountains
in that section, the prospects for wheat
were never better. R. F. Johnson, a well
posted farmer from the Weston neighbor
hood, says that never since wheat raising
began in that part of the county has the
outlook for bountiful crops been brighter.
He predicts 10 to 60 bushels of wheat per
acre In that region, and says that the
heavy rains which preceded the rain
storm added more bushels of wheat to
the acre than usual and that the storm
hdld no damage. In spite of these bright
spots, it is proDaDie mat tuning wiu
county all over the wind storm caused
a loss In wheat of not less than 500.000
bushels, and In barley of not far from
200.000 bushels.
Other crops In Umatilla County -are
unusually good. The yield of oats ot
first quality will exceed 100.000 bushels;
of rye. an equal amount: ot Indian maize,
I or corn, as It is commonly called, the
crop will be larger than usual, but ao
thlp Is a sort of "side" crop the amount
is difficult to ascertain; of potatoes, which
aro generally of fine quality, the yield
will be but little under 200.000 bushed; or
butter, the production will approximate
200.0GO pounds, several new and Improved
creameries having been recently put In
operation: of wool, the clip Is about 1,500,
000 pounds; of lambs, the Increase for the
year Is estimated at 115,000, which, with
the 200,000 sheep already on hand, makes
the total number of sheep In the county
upwards of 200,000; of apples, pear3,
prunes, peaches and smaller fruits, the
production will exceed 100,000 boxes; of
cheese, the production will be 100.000
pounds, besides having tons of honey.
The county also contains , about 20.000
head of cattle, 12,000 horses and many
thousand goats, while the Blue Mountains
produce many thousand cords of wood
and hundreds of thousands of railroad
ties.
From this It Is evident that the loss of
500,000 bushels of wheat and a large part
of the barley crop will be little felt by
the people, the eectlon possessing so
many other resources.

Why not? A little vanity
is a good thing. Perhaps
you can't be hair-vain, your

grow, and always restores
color to gray hair.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 30. Twenty
three sacks of chaff or refuse of cane after
the sugar has been extracted were brought
from Hllo by the bark Santiago, and will
be shipped East to be used In an experi

When Rheumatism settles in the bones and muscles of the legs,
it is safe to predict that the victim -will eventually become helpless
and crutch-bound. The corrosive, irritating niatter that is deposited
in the joints and muscles causes the most intense pain, the knees
and ankles swell, and when the natural oils and fluids that lubricate
these parts are completely destroyed the joints become locked and

the distribution of manufactures by coun
tries and grand divisions, the bureau has
prepared a statement which shows for
the first time the exportation of manufac
tures In each year from 1790 to the pres

from 1701 to 1E00 exports of manufactures
averaged about 52,000,000 per annum; In
the decades ending with 1S10 and 1820. re
spectively, they averaged about J3.000.00Q
per annum, and formed about 7 per cent
of the total exports; In the decade 1S21-30
they averaged about $6,0QJ,O0O, and never
reached as much as $10,000,000 prior to 1S10.
By 1850 the exports of manufactures had
reached $17,500,000, and In 1S60 for the first
time touched the 540,000.000 mark, but did
not cross the 550.000.000 line until 1S70,
when they amounted to 55S.279.761. In 1877
they for the first time crossed the $100,
