COPPER SHAKES
1 C L WORLD
Foreign Money Centers Hear
Rumors and Restrict
Credit to New York.
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.

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

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

to go to the bath room he declared he
would not bathe. The Jailor drove him
Into the cell and locked nim In. With

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.

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. ,

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

ROOSEVELT OUT OF WOODS
THE PRESIDENT AND HUNTING
PARTY REACH STAMBOUL.
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.

What Were Scritpure Animals?
New York Sun.
Gambler Bolton has written a little
book on the animals of the Scriptures.
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.
Stage Money Industry.
Saturday Evening PoBt.
It is a curious coincidence that most
of the "stage" money flashed by vil
lains In melodramas, and for which
there Is o much blood-letting: and
murder in sensational plays is made
in Washington. D. C, almost Within the
shadow of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing. The demand for It has
caused it to develop Into quite a little
Industry. It is widely used as "prop
erty" for regular dramatic productions
and also for amateur theatricals. It
Is engraved on green paper like
"greenbacks."

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.

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

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. ,

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.

TO FIX CONVEHTIDN DATE
REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE WIIX
MEET DECEMBER 6-7.
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."
Xe'w York a Starless City.
Cincinnati Dispatch.
"New Tork is a starless city," said a
recent resident as he sat on his newly
acquired suburban porch and looked on
our neighbor Mars. "The only ones to
be seen there are the so-called stars on
the stage, while the real stars are shut
out by buildings and the street lights
that blind the eyes to- anything be
yond them."
