BEARS' TREND UNCHECKED Banks Do Not Expect Outflow of Gold With Present High-Money Rates Europe Is Calling for Grain Surplus. XEW YORK, Oct. 20. The principal source of the serious disturbance In the 'stock market last week was traced Anal ly to the copper world, but before the conditions had become sufficiently well confined the financial district was kept nervous by all kinds of rumors of the. nature of the trouble that was threatei inn. The result was seen in the range of the quotations published, the lowest for several years In a considerable list of Important stocks. Foreign money centers were kept well supplied with all the alarming rumors current and originated others on their own account, sending securities for sale in this market meanwhile and restricting credits to New York in many ways. Under these circumstances something like relief was felt when the circumstances became known regarding the market position in copper stocks and a futile attempt to corner that stock and to administer chastisement to the bear party which had been Interfering with the liquidation In the stock. The reduction in the dividend on Amal gamated Copper for the quarter from 2 per cent to 1 per cent naturally aggra vated the bad effect of the United Copper episode and successive reductions in the price of the metal kept open the root' cause of the disturbance. The reduc tion in the price of the metal failed to bring any effective buying and the pos sible limits of the fall remained undis turbed. Reports were in circulation of Intended entire shutting down of jpro ductlon in the Montana mines. Metal Orders Are. Held Up. Fears of coming business contraction that might run into depression were stimulated by the course of the copper trade and had some incentive also in the advices from the Iron and steel trade. Notwithstanding the sustained present activity In the trade, there la a feeling that the falling off In orders for future presages coming contraction on an im portant scale. The railroad and steel trade authorities are reported to be still at variance over the pattern Of the steel rail, with orders held up in consequence. There Is some apprehension that the In sistence of the railroad authorities on their contention may veil a disposition to defer expenditures for rails for motives of economy. The money market continues tight and tne growth toward ease in the call loan market was checked by the disturbance in the stock market. There was evidence of forced liquida tion at many points here and this was at tributed to growing strictness on the part of the banks as to collateral and the throwing out of some securities held as collateral for loans. Foreign selling of securities here and some maturing In debtedness to foreign lenders for which renewals were refused kept the foreign exchange rate up and kept alive the dis cussion of possible gold exports. Bunkers do not look for an outflow of gold while money rates are sustained as they are now, and while the Interior de mand keeps up. The question of Trea sury relief for the money market Is com plicated by the high rate for foreign ex change which carries the intimation that any marked Increase in the market sup plies of money might indicate gold ex ports. Exports Show Decline. The September foreign trade statement carried some reassurance as to the exist ing situation. Decrease of $3,145,653 In value of exports, compared with last year, was regarded as moderate and the Increase of $3,699,475 In value of imports, compared with an average for current months running to $30,000,000 above cor responding months of last year. The ex cess of exports of $29,033,505 for September, although $6,843,126 below September of last year, compared with a balance pay able to us in August of less than $2,000,000, a showing which aroused discussion of a possible actual excess of Imports for September. m In the prospect there Is considered to be an assured foreign demand for our grain surplus at the high prices prevailing and the cotton which is held from the market Is expected to, go out in large volume to Europe New York's control of Inter national exchanges Is expected, in that way, to increase with effect in easing the money market although the declining ten dency in value of imports which has set in may be accepted as another index of contracting demand for commodities. WILL NOT BATHE; ESCAPES Jailer Tries to Force a Bath, but Iioses Prisoner. SEATTLE. Oct 20. (Special.) Spen cer Reed, sentenced to 63 days' Impris onment In the City Jail, wrenched loose n Iron bar from the inside of his cell and with that as a lever twisted one of the bars on the door and made his es cape. Reed forced his way to liberty because he was ordered to tae a bath. All the prisoners m tne City Jail, which was recently condemned by the Health Board, are- compelled to take a bath on Sundays and for that purpose are herded in an old work cell where the only bath tub is located. When Reed was ordered by Jailer Cummlngs to go to the bath room he declared he would not bathe. The Jailor drove him Into the cell and locked nim In. With in lj minutes Reed had broken out of Jail still unwashed. SHOT AT TARGET PRACTICE Target Tender on Rifle Range Is Seriously Wounded by Bullet. SALEM, Or., Oct. 20. (Special.) Merrill Brassfield, an 18-year-old member of the local military company, narrowly escaped death at the hands of a comrade this morning while at target practice on the rifle range in West Salem. While it is probable the accident will not prove fatal, Brassfield is in the Salem Hospital suf fering from a wound caused by a bullet that entered his back just below the shoulder blade and " lodged under the sl;ln of his abdomen. . The seriousness of the injury cannot be determined for sev? eral days. Brassfield wss tending target and keep ing score. The marksmen were shooting from a distance of 600 yards. As Brass, field was In the act of setting up the tar get. Mack Reynolds shot and the bullet struck the target tender In the back. The accident occurred in Polk County, so the "local authorities have given no at tention to It. Should Brassfield die. there will probably be an investigation by Polk County officials to determine the responsibility for the untimely shot. , ANNIVERSARY IS CELEBRATED Catholics of Eugene Move Into Fine New Building After CO Years.

SUNDAY LID PROVES EXCITING Loggers Get Drunk and Proceed to Shoot Up the Town. CHEHALIS. Wash., Oct. 20. (Spe cial. )-r-LewIs County's first Sunday with the lid on proved highly exciting this afternoon. Three loggers from Doty came to town last' night. To-, day they had become drunk. One named MqCulloufrh fired three shots at Frank Nehring in the business center of town. Marshal Cook and several men pur sued McCullough, the former firing in the air to stop him.

Three Bears; Six Deer, One Turkey, Twelve Squirrels,' Possum, and Wild Cat Result of Chase. STAMBOUL, La., Oct. 20. "We got three bears, six deer, one wild turkev, 12 squirrels, one duck, one possum and one wild cat. We ate them all. except the wildcat, and there were times when we almost felt as if we could eat It." This was President Roosevelt's sum ming up of the result of his hunt on Bayou Tenas and Bear Lake. He ar rived at 3 o'clock this afternoon at .the residence of Leo Shields, where he will be a guest until he makes his departure for Vicksburg tomorrow. He came in on full gallop and accom panied as ne was by about a dozen of uls hunting companions, all mounted and at tired in hunting garb, the cavalcade pre sented a tableau as picturesque as it was animated. The President is slightly more bronzed than when he entered the wilderness from this point 15 days ago. but notwltn standing this fact and the additional cir cumstances that his clothes bear evidence of contact with the cane and other brush, he was never in better spirits in his life.

The unicorn, he concludes, was the European bison, and the behemoth was the hippopotamus. That eagle which "stirreth up her -nest" was the griffon vulture. The chameleon was the mon itor lizard; the true chameleon figured as the mole. Mr. Bolton maintains that the apes of Solomon's courts were the bonnet monkeys of Ceylon "or of the land of Ophlr." The fowls that Crept upon four legs were bats, or at any rate beasts or mammals, not fowls at all. The "doleful creatures" and "speckled birds" were hyenas. The deaf adder that stopped her .ears were the Egyptian cobra, while the cocka trice was only a yellow-streaked snake. The leviathan is said by Mr. Bolton to have been the crocodile.

ANNOUNCE T HIS INTENTIONS Maytrtoore Must Say Plainly ; That He Is'a Democrat and Nothing Else. ANOTHER CLUB IS FORMED Seattle Rockrlbbed Democrats Form Organization. In Opposition to One Controlled by Mayor He Must Drop All Side Issues. SEATTLE. Oct. . (Special.) The or ganization of a new Democratic Club this week means simply that If Mayor William Hickman Moore wants to be re-elected he will have to announce flatly whether or not he proposes to run as a Democrat. The Democratic Club, which includes In Its membership most of the prominent party workers in Seattle, will insist upon a straight Democratic ticket and a fight to preserve the local organization. To complete the organization of this club the farmers had to ride over some of 'the strongest partisans of the Mayor, who wanted to postpone action. These recognized that they were in a hopeless minority and needed time for organiza tion and consultation. The Democratic leaders, however, were in no mood for waiting. ' ' Charles A. Reynolds was elected presi dent of the club and it is an open secret that Moore and Reynolds do not live in that degree of peace and harmony that Democrats ought to enjoy. Even aside from pol'tics they differ, for Reynolds has been at the front of the fight to win the 1909 convention of the Elks for Seattle while Moore is accused of opposing the coming of that order. In fact the story comes up from Portland that he told cer tain Elks In the Oregon metropolis that Seattle would help them get the grand lodge and would withdraw its claims. Reynolds has never tolerated that kind of talk. Battle Mentioned as Opponent. Among the Democrats prominent in the organization there is. a' strong sentiment in favor of nominating Alfred Battle for Mayor if Moore shows any symptoms of straying away from the organization. If the present executive flirts "Vith the Municipal Ownership taction or with any other side organization for that matter, the Battle talk will come out strong. Battle is a law partner of ex-Mayor R. A. Balllnger, now Commissioner of the General Land Office. He doesn't want to be Mayor, but he Is independently rich and able to make a fight for party or ganization and that circumstance might force him into it. When elected last year Moore accepted a nomination for Mayor on the Municipal Ownership ticket. Ignoring, the Demo cratic organization and finally forcing it to abandon Its municipal convention en tirely. A lot of prominent Democrats have never forgiven Moore for what tlrey termed an effort to wreck the party. It is not altogether certain that he will' be a candidate again.' He began giving out talk of retiring on Labor Day, as reported before. - At that time he threw out a hint that he had a big law practice In sight and might form a profitable Jegal firm. . Every now and then some of Moore's friends give repetition to the story and the Mayor neither denies nor affirms any tale that has to-do with his future political life. Moore Dislikes Defeat. In a cold-blooded and matter-of-fact-Way, this is the situation as to Moore: He doesn't want to be beaten. He had that experience once when running for Superior Court Judge in 1900, following a term when he had been swept into office on the Popullstld wave of 1896. But aside from that one experience, Moore has been singularly fortunate In winning. It can be set down now that Moore will never be a candidate for Mayor If he figures he will be beaten. He is willing that some other Democrat should lead a fight for party organization and regular ity. He has no liking for a futile race. ' The organization of the new Democratic Club has this additional significance to V Moore In that there is already a Demo cratic viud m existence nere wnicn ms friends control. It dropped out of sight though, to give way to one that these Democrats who want party regularity will manage. That might mean more trouble for the Mayor, though as stated, even his opponents In the party, would accept him If he became a straight-out Democratic candidate. DEMOCRATS ARE VERY SCARCE Hard to Fill Vancouver Ticket. Republican. Victory Foretold. VANCOUVER, Wash., Oct. 23. (Spe cial.) All the declarations of candid acy for nomination for election to the several city offices have been filed with the City Clerk. Only the Democratic and Republican parties will be repre sented in the primaries. On-account of the scarcity of Demo crats some difficulty was found in find ing candidates willing to be affiliated with that party. All candidacies have been filled, however, but one council man. It is thought- in certain circles that the Democrats have much the stronger man for Mayor. Although his party is far in the minority his chances for election are said to be more than equal. E. M. Green, an attorney, of several years' experience, is the Demo cratic candidate for Mayor, against Milton Evans, the Republican candi date. The chief fight in the city will be the mayoralty contest. It is generally thought, however, that the Republican candidates will win t? a large ma jority. This is the first city election here un der tho direct primary law, and mora than usual Interest is shown in the outcome. Politicians are exerting every effort to perfect the long, undis turbed machine, which Is in danger of being seriously crippled by the work ings of the new law. It is evident that party politics will be, to a groat extent, disregarded and the vote will be for the man rather than for the party. , POOR ROADS BRING XO MAIL Impassable Trails Over Mountains Delay Coos Bay Deliveries. MARSHFIELD, Or., Oct. 20. The busi ness men of the cities of Coos Bay are now particularly concerned about the question of mall delivery during the com ing Winter. - The malls for Coos Bay are delivered at Roseburg and from that city are brought during the Winter time on pack horses over mountain roads that are almost Impassable. Sometimes the malls are delayed several days. During the past Bummer the business men of the city have mads every effort to have the mail service improved. Route Inspector Vail visited Coos Bay recently and looked over the situation. Accord ing to his opinion their is no remedy for the poor Winter service of mail. excepting an improvement of the roads between this city and Roseburg, so that stages at all seasons may be brought across the mountains and the malls properly carried. Instead of by the use of pack horses. The Chamber of Commerce has- taken up the matter of mall delivery as one of the vital questions affecting Coos Bay and has appealed to the County Court for aid. It is likely that Coos County will do something in the way of improving the road but if no official action is taken the citizens of the Coos Bay cities will Indi vidually take up the matter. Sole Principal Portland Agents Nemo Corsets 'Smart Set Corsets BUTTERICK PATTERNS SIMON'S APPOINTED RECEIVER Will Wind Vp Complex Affairs of Crittenden & Palmer Rock Co. OREGON CITY. Or., Oct., 20. (Special.) George W. Simons is now in possession of the affairs of the Crittenden & Palmer Rock Company and yesterday, the at tachments against the" corporation were withdrawn. Simons was appointed re ceiver upon petition of Jennie B. Atkin son, jwho alleges that she has advanced the company $12,000. and she is probably its principal creditor. It is stated by Mrs. Atkinson that the rock company has purchased a large amount of new machinery, but the South ern Pacific Company desires to obtain a right of way through the quarry for its WHIsburg cutoff, and for the reason the rock company has not felt justified in placing this machinery In position, and has not been able to operate profitably. The appointment of a receiver is calcu lated to wind up the affairs of the cor poration with the least possible loss. The attachment suits were numerous and aggregated $3000. The Reierson Ma chinery Company yesterday brought suit against Sheriff Beatle to compel the re lease of the attachment on machinery valued at $2000. which the company claimed as its own, and with the appoint ment of a receiver and the withdrawal of the 'suits for attachment, the action against the sheriff was also nullified. . CROP IS A RECORD - BREAKER Palonse Farmers Do Not Depend on Wheat Alone. - GARFIELD, "Wash.', Oct, 2J. (Specials There Is the largest apple crop In the Garfield country this year that there has ever been, and the same can be said of the entire Palouse district. There is also a big crop of prunes and pears. Hundreds of mn, women and children are employed at the packing-houses, and scores of men are a,t work In the orchards picking the fruit and hauling it to the packing-houses and to the cars after it is packed. J. .E. Trimble, at Garfield, has one of the largest packing-houses of the district, and employs an army of people to do the work of picking, sorting and packing the fruit, and malting boxes. The potato crop is now being gathered and It sis one of the' largest In the his tory of the country. The potato crop will bring the farmer big returns this year, and the result will be that the Washingr ton farmer, when all his crops are har vested and sold, will have money In both pockets. Farm lands in the Palouse country are looking up, and many who have been renting for years have made enough money this season to make & big payment on a farm of their own. UNION COUNTY CIRCUIT QUIET Only Three Cases of Importance. Alleged Horsethieves Not Guilty. LA GRANDS Or., Oct. 20. (Special.) Two weeks of the October term of court have been concluded and the term will perhaps last one week longer. . The case of Eliza Carroll against the1 Grande Ronde Electric Company was decided for the defendant. This was a suit to recover the sum of $5000 for the death of Leonard Carroll, her 8on,"rho was killed in Octo ber, 1905, by coming in contact with a grounded wire belonging to the electflo company. This case has been twice to the Supreme Court of the state upon questions of law. Two other cases of Importance tried so far this term were the State against Martin and the State against Haynes, both charged with larceny of horses. Haynes ( the present poundmaster of Union and alleges to have taken up the animal which he Is charged with stealing, unpounded and to have sold It under the ordinances of that town. He has served one term In the Penitentiary for horse stealing. The case was hotly contested, John L. Rand, of Baker City, assisting in the defense. In both tljese larceny cases the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty. . , CHURCH WILI; BRING SETTLERS New Norwegian Edifice Dedicated by Engene Congregation. EUGENE, Or., Oct. 20. (Special.) The new Norwegian Church was dedicated here today. It will be known as the United Lutheran, Trinity Church, and its pastor will be M. F. Dommersnaes. The dedicatory services were conducted -"by Kev. is. j. til lee tad, or Chicago, who preached the dedicatory sermon. He was assisted by Rev. Mr. Rhemertson and Rev. Mr. Kristensen, The church building was formerly owned by the Cumberland Presbyterians, but was purchased by the Lutheran Church and extensive repairs and additions have been made and the whole building renovated and painted. The church organization means much to the members here and to the country about. A number of Scandinavians look ing tor permanent locations have not set tled in Eugene because there was no church here. It Is definitely known that a number of families wiu come to this county to make their homes, now that the church is firmly established. , ORDERS FOR GREAT NORTHERN Must Run Daylight Train for Ac commodation of Havre Patrons. HELENA, Mont., Oct. 20 (Special.) The State Board of Railroad Commission ers, created by the recent Legislature, has made Its first order In connection with train service, directing the Great Northern to establish a daylight service between Havre and Great Falls. Fort Benton is the seat of Chouteau County and to reach it great Inconveni ence is experienced because of the fact that but two trains pass through the city, at 1 and 3 A. M, respectively,' and the Havre connections. are poor. Residents of Kallspell are also prepar ing an attack on the Great Northern al leging poor conneotlons, bad hours and. general neglect.

Western Cities Anxious to Be Made Meeting: Place Features That Decide the Selection. WASHINGTON, Oct. to The Repub lican National Committee will meet In this city December i and 7, tor the purpose of deciding upon the place and time for holding: the next Republican National convention. Formal announce ment to this effect was made tonight by Harry S. New, acting- chairman of the Republican National Committee. Chairman New. who arrived today, had a conference ' with Elmer Dover, secretary of the committee, when the time for holding the meeting of the committee was decided upon. The offi cial call for the meeting will be issued within aday or two.' According to Mr. New, a number of cities have made formal application to secure the next convention, among them' being: Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis, Denver, Seattle, Atlantic City and Pittsburg. From Milwaukee and St. Paul also have come inquiries as to the prospects for securing the con vention, but Mr. New said that at this time he was not committed to any par ticular city. "Tho next convention Is going to at tract a larger number of people than have heretofore attended," said Mr. New, "and there are four considera tions to be taken into account in decid ing upon a place for holding the con vention. The first is the accessibility of the town. It must possess adequate transportation facilities; second, it irlust have ample first-class hotel ac commodations; third. It must provide a good hall, sufficient in size and sus ceptible of being arranged for the ac commodation of the convention, and further, it must possess adequate facil ities for distribution of news."
