THE MORXIXG OREGONIAN, MONDAY, AUGUST 31, 1908. E Melbourne Promises Week of Festivities for American Marines. MEN ATTEND HIGH MASS One Thousand March to St. ratrlck's Cathedral American. Bluejack ets Are Preceded by 2000 Cadets With Bands. MELBOURNE. Aug. J 1. Rear-Admiral Sperry, commander of the Amer ican fleet, expressed himself as highly appreciative of the warm welcome ex tended himself and the men under him, and the kindly greetings of the Aus tralians, both In Sydney and at Mel bourne, has developed a feeling of gratification throughout the fleet. All are looking forward with pleasure to the coming week, of which this is the official . landing day. The weather is fine and hpspltallty promises .to be abundant. Sunday was set down on the pro gramme a a "free day." nothing In the way of formal entertainments hav ing been arranged for the visitors, but nevertheless those who came ashore from the warships managed to spend some enjoyable hours driving and sightseeing. Seventeen military trains arrived Sunday morning from the various cen ters throughout the country, bringing Into Melbourne a-large body of cav alry, which will participate in the grand review on Thursday. Marines Attend High Mass. Twenty-five hundred men of the ships were given shore leave Sunday, of which 1000 marched through Col lins street to St. Patrick's Cathedral, where, pontifical high maas was held at noon. The American bluejackets and marines were preceded by 2000 cadets and a number of'bands were In the procession. The streets were thronged with spectators, who gave the men a hearty welcome. After the services were ended, the men were served with lunch In the cathedral hall. Special services were held In all the Protestant churches and later the Mel bourne Automobile Club, in touring cars, took the officers of . the fleet to view the points of Interest In the city. In the course of the afternoon num erous private entertainments were given. There were comparatively few visi tors to the warships owing to the dis tance of the vessels from shore, but those who made the trip. were enthu siastic In their expressions of admira tion for the beauty and powerful ap pearance of the American men-of-war. Officers Informally Kntertalned. The pulpit of St. Patrick's Cathedral was occupied Sunday evening by the Rev. Father Gleason, chaplain of the Connecticut, and the congregation overflowed the edifice. Services in the other churches were again well at tended in the evening. Much Informal Individual hospitality was shown the sailors, and many of the officers and men enjoyed the pleas ure of Sunday meals at the family board. DESERT SNAKE BITE CURE 'Rattlesnake Weed" One of Most Reliable Known In West. Out West. "The rattlesnake has a part all his own In the desert practice of healing. Rattle snake oil cures rheumatism and the stiff ened Joints a man gets working down In a wet mine; the oil rubbed in the ears cures, deafness, and a rattlesnake skin, tanned soft and supple as chamois and worn around the waist, will keep a man well on the hardest trip but the dust from the rattles will cause blindness which nothing will cure. There Is a plant which the rattlesnake fears he will not crawl across It, and if It Is dropped on htm he uncoils and crawls away. Perhaps this Is only a bit of a myth, but every desert man knows the srolondrlna the creeping plant with tiny, round, gray-green leaves and minute while blossoms with a brown center. "Rattlesnake weed" grows in the little open spaces from the pines to the white aand hills that shift back and forth in each year's wind. The leaves, pounded fnto a wet mass, are bound on a snake .Aite. and the victim, man or 'animal, is given huge draughts of the bitter, dark tea. Into which the whole plant Is steeped. The golondrtna tea Is used as a liniment for rheumatism, too, and the Mexican women know that tt dyes cotton cloth an enduring purplish black. If the golondrlna is too far to find there Is another desert cure for any snake bite a cure well enough attested and one with which many an Indian has fought bullet wound and saber cut and mastered In cipient blood poisoning. The leaves of any flat-leaved opuntia. but especially the common prickly pear, are thrown on a camp fire until the thorns are singed off and the skin puffs up in watery blisters, then split open and bound hot on the wound. So many a pack mule has been restored to place In the train and many a limb that a physician would have am putated has been saved to do Its owner good service on desert trails. MEDIUM LOCATES CORPSE (Continued From First Page ) been professionally consulted by Mrs. Donohue and that on each occasion she had prophetic vision of mud and ooze in the Donohue household and had foretold calamity to the woman or her husband. Woman Followed by Stranger. Of the more material evidence in their possession the police are tonight Inclined to say little. An effort is being made to locate ac quaintances whom Mrs. Donohue is said to have made at the racetrack and to learn whether or not there is any founda tion in fact to the neighborhood narra tives relating to visitors at the Donohue home. The theory brought most forcibly to the attention of the police has to do with accounts of a mysterious stranger, who Is said to have followed Mrs. Donohue home on several occasions at night and to have been surpriseed while prowling about the premises. Mrs. Donohue, who was a semi-invalid about 40 years of age. Is said to have claimed the protection of a neighbor four nights prior to her dis appearance and on the Thursday night that Mrs. Donohue dropped out of sight the same neighbor. Mrs. E. Verra, of 12S2 tUxty-flrst street la said to have been PLEASUR AHEAD 0 SAILOR LADS awakened by a tapping at the window of her bed-chamber. Mrs. Verra, al though satisfied that the person outside was Mrs. Donohue, was too paralysed Uh fear to admit her. having heard, earlier in the evening, that Mrs. Dono hue's shadow had again trailed her home. Woman Choked, Police Conclude. From this the police conclude that Mrs. Donohue. who disappeared between 10 and 12 o'clock, while her husband was In at tendance at a meeting of the Elks, was attacked aad choked or beaten either wrthln or Just outside her home and that the body was dragged to the lonely spot where it was found burled. On the day following the disappearance of his wife Donohue went to the police headquarters, reported it and offered a reward of J100 for Information concerning her. He said that he was convinced that she had ended her own life while tem porarily deranged. She had suffered an Injury to her back shortly before the San Francisco disaster of two years ago. and since that time had been In poor health. A few davs later Donohue asked that the reward of J10O be withdrawn, he having been given Information, he said, which led him to the opinion that his wife had eloped with a follower of the race track. About a week later Donohue made his third appearance at the police station and said that he had changed his mind concerning the elopement theory and was now convinced that his wife had met with foul play or had committed sui cide in a moment of mental aberration. He reequested the police to make every effort to get tidings of her. BHYAH STARTS TO ST. PAUL WILL MAKE SPEECH AT FAIR GROCXDS TODAY. Appears in Fargo, Grand Forks and Sioux City Before Re turning to Lincoln. LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 30. W. J. Bryan, Democratic candidate for President, to day launched upon another Bpeechmak ing tour. He left here at 4:30 o'clock for St Paul, where tomorrow he will speak at the Fair Grounds, his remarks dealing with the subject of Govermental extravagance. Three other speeches will be delivered before he returns here, Thursday. These will be at Fargo and Grand Forks, N. D., and Sioux City, la. No particular topic will be discussed, but It Is the Inten tion of Mr. Bryan to deal generally with the Issues of the campaign. The Ohio speech of Mr. Taft yesterday. In which he entered at some length into the labor Question, was carefully read by Mr. Bryan, but he declined to make any comment regarding it. As usual, Mr. Bryan attended religious services in the little MethodiBt Church at Normal, a short distance from Fairvicw. He was accompanied by the entire fam ily, the carriage being driven by him self. By dint of hard work, the Democratic candidate last night completed his Labor Day and Peoria speeches. HARD TASK SET FOR MACK Selection of Eastern Chairman Puz zling Problem to Solve. NEW YORK, Aug. SO. While scores besiege headquarters and press their claims for positions to aid the party, Norman E. Mack, chairman of the Democratic National committee, finds himself today searching for a chair man of the subcommittee to run the Democratic campaign in the East, and he has been hunting for nearly a month. Many have been considered; but none chosen and Mr. Mack de clared today that while he hoped to make a selection this week, he did not know who would be chosen. "The selecting of an Eastern cam paign manager .has been no easy task." said Mr. Mack today, "and while I hope to name the man some time this week, no one has been se lected for the place." Chairman Mack is strongly of the belief that the differences existing be tween Leader Murphy, of Tammany Hall, and Senator McCarren, of Kings County, are at least susceptible of a temporary adjustment, and to this end he Is bending every effort through numerous conferences which are being held daily. LOOK FOR MISSING MAN Nelson Hughes May Be Suicide, but Police Are Doubtful. The police are searching for Nelson Hughes. 60 years of age, and a carpenter, living at 1065 East Salmon street, who has been missing since Friday. His dis appearance was reported to the police last night by Lawrence McDonald, of 1070 Corbett street, who had found letters and papers belonging to Nelson, together with a package of underclothing, near the river front at the foot of Hamilton avenue. The opinion was expressed that these had been put there In order to pre sent a false clew. A theory of suicide Is not credited for want of more definite proof. Hughes Is B0 years of age and Is de scribed as having dark, curly hair and a dark mustache. He Is B feet 6 "4 Inches In height and weighs about 140 pounds. He Is a member of the Carpenters' Union. GAVE OUT NO INTERVIEW Judge Baker Repudiates His De fense of Judge Grosscup. . GOSHEN, Ind., Aug. 30. Judge Francis E. Baker, of the United States Court of Appeals, today authorized the Associated Press to make a denial of an alleged in terview with him on the subject of the Standard Oil case, which was printed in many newspapers August 26 and 27. Judge Baker says he was not properly quoted and he did not authorize any in terview and added: "I have never given out, nor shall I ever give out, or knowingly permit to be given out, any statement concerning a case before me, except from the bench and In a form befitting the occasion." Religious Workers Advanced. Announcement has just been made of the promotion of Adjutant and Mrs. J. T. Foulkes, of the Pacific Coast Regiment, Volunteers of America.

This Tremendous Total for 1907 Is Obtained From Incomplete Returns. REPORTS OF 28,850 MILLS Texas Rises From Eighth to Third Place as Lumber - Producing State Oregon Shows In creased Output. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Aug. 30. Figures of the lum ber cut In 190V compiled by the bureau of the Census and the Forest Service showed the largest total ever reported In the United States, exceeding by over seven" per cent the cut reported for 1906, until then the record year. This does not necessarily show a larger actual cut than In 1906, for the re turns obtained last year were .more complete than ever before. The fig ures themselves disclose some interest ing facts. Newly Reported Mills Small. In 1907 28,850 mills made returns, and their production was over 40,000, 000,000 feet of lumber. This is believed to include 95 per cent of the actual cut. In 1906 22,398 mills reported about 37.60p, 000,000 feet. Since according to these figures nearly 29 per cent more mills reported last year than the year before, while the Increase In produc tion was only a little over seven per cent, it might- be thought that the amount actually manufactured must have been greater In the earlier year. This, however, would be a too hasty Inference, for It is almost wholly' among mills of small individual out put that the gain In the number of establishments reporting has . been made. A classification of the returns by states and regions throws additional light on the situation. Individual changes, as, for example, the remark able rise of Texas from eighth to third place among the lumber-producing states, are doubtless accounted for pri marily by the greater accuracy of the 1907 figures: but In the majority of cases the advances and declines can be traced to specific influences. Business Depression Felt. Before the year closed the general business depression was severely felt In the lumber Industry. It was not, however, the most Important cause of a falling off In the production of the year where a falling off occurred. For decline In production took place only In certain regions. The South Is the region of greatest activity in lumber production, and yellow pine the most important wood, forming 33 per cent of the entire cut of the country. The cut of yellow pine reported shows an increase of 13 per cent over that of 1906. In the early part of the year many of the Southern mills cut so heavily that, in spite of the curtailed output which followed the business disturbance later, the total was greater than ever before. But in both the Lake States and 'the Northwest a smaller cut was reported than for 1906, though the number of mills reporting Increased. White Pine Supply Wanes. In the Lake States the falling off evidenced the waning supply of white pine. Michigan, which for many years led all the states In lumber produc tion", and then gave way to Wisconsin, sank In 1907 from fourth to seventh place, while Wisconsin went from third to fifth. Minnesota as late as 1905 held fourth place. Last year It went from seventh to ninth. It was not un til the latter 90s that the South dis placed this group of states as the most Important source of lumber supply. Since Southern pine Is abundant In all the Atlantic Coast States from the Car olinas to Texas, the region as a whole will doubtless maintain Its leading po sition for some years, in spite of the fact that at the present rate the bulk of the timber will be gone In another decade, but In totals of production by Individual states the leadership has since 1905 been held by Washington.. . Oregon Has Increase. The figures of production show that during 1907 Washington fell oft very decidedly from its huge cut of 1906, while its sister state, Oregon, Is cred ited with a slight increase in its total. In the early part of the year Wash ington suffered from a car shortage, and at the end the combined effects of business disturbance and higher freight rates had. brought the Indus try almost to paralysis. Oregon kept up Its cut because of Its larger pro portion of coastwise and foreign trade. These two states together produced more lumber than any other two states in the Union. Consumption of Lumber Grows. It Is a striking fact that though lumber prices have been steadily going up during the last half century, the per capita consumption of lumber has also been going up. In 1850, accord ing to the best figures obtainable, the average consumption to each per son In the country was 250 feet. In 1900 460 feet, and In 1907 480 feet. This illustrates what has been found true the world over that with Industrial progress the demand for wood becomes greater and greater. DROP FIGHT ON F0RAKER (Continued From First Page.) It Is said. If Johnson keeps his hands off, the Democrats will be heavily handicapped, for this little man con trols many, many votes In Cleveland, and Cleveland Is the Democratic strong hold In Ohio. The other matter is the recent flop of the Cincinnati Enquirer, Democratic which announced a few days ago that Bryan's fight is hopeless, as he would be unable to make gains in the West, where the campaign is to be won or lost. This paper points out that the West Is normally Republican, and that no Republican leaders, not even the dost radical, have bolted. From this It reasons that Bryan cannot hope or ex pect to carry the pivotal states. There fore, the Enquirer will not fight Bryan's battle, a losing battle. In Ohio. The flop of this Democratic paper will not determine the result In Ohio, but It will help. Incidentally, the an nouncement of the Enquirer greatly pleased Mr. Taft, while Mr. Bryan re fused to make any comment. The per capita circulation of the United States 1b exreeded by only one other coun try of Importance Franca. Watch Repairing You are absolutely certain of good work when you bring your watch here.

TO MIX WORK WITH PLAY Several Political Conferences Will Be Held at Island Resort JudgB to Attend G. A. R. Encamp ment at Toledo, Wednesday. MIDDLE BASS ISLAND, O.. Aug. 30. William H. Taft and party arrived at the Middle . Bass Island Club at 4 o'clock this morning. After a five-hour sleep the candidate breakfasted and later attended services In the little chapel. He rested throughout the remainder of the day. The 14 speeches which Mr. Taft de livered yesterday In the unexpected cam paigning he did on the trip through his native state, from Virginia Hot Springs, left their impression on his voice today, but aside from the hoarseness and his declaration that he felt a little tired, he said he was little the worse for wear. Mingle Work With Play. While the week on the fishing grounds Is primarily for recreation, it Is under stood several political conferences may be held. Representative J. Warren Kelfer, of Ohio. Is at the club. Wed nesday Mr. Taft will go to Toledo to ad dress the National encampment of ' the G. A. R. This speech will not be politi cal. ' The small island on which Mr. Taft will finish his pre-campalgn vacation Is one of a group lying about 20 miles oft shore, midway between Cleveland and Toledo. One end of the Island Is owned by the fishing club, where ample accom modations for its several hundred mem bers are provided by a clubhouse and a colony of Summer cottages. The family Is quartered In one of the cottages. Will Fish and Play Golf. The candidate will divide his time be tween fishing for bass, which is done from small boats, and playing golf.

HAS FIGHT WITH WHALE Revolver Shots Don't Stop Mammal's Attack on Small Coasting Craft. San Francisco Bulletin. From the deck of the little coasting steamer Coos Bay Captain James Bowen waged a hattle with a mammoth whale while his vessel was off Cayucos, on her way up the coast. The whale was ob served making straight for the steamer and Bowen was obliged to put his ves sel upon a different course to avoid, col lision with the mammal. Even this action of the skipper did not suffice to keep the Coos Bay out of danger and drawing, revolver the captain opened fire upon hie enemy. Twice he emptied the contents of the revolver's chambers, but the leaden mis siles apparently had little effect upon the mammal, as It renewed Us attack upon the vessel. Finally In a last effort to escape from the whale the skipper of the steamer ordered full speed ahead, and gradually tha Coos Bay crept ahead of her pursuer. Speaking of the experience shortly after the Coos Bay's arrival In port, one member of the crew said: "For some moments It looked like the whale would surely hit us and consid erable excitement was caused aboard the ship. The mammal was all of 100 feet long and seemed of a particularly vicious species. "Even when Captain Bowen discharged his revolver at It the whale kept coming after us, although the water was dyed with blood. But for the fact that the old Coos Bay was able to crowd on a little steam we would have come Into port with some ecars where the whale hit us with his flukes. "The first time we caught sight of the whale was oft Cayucos, and it kept fol lowing us right along the coast, some times almost abeam of the ship and but a hundred yards off. DROUTH CAUSES. MURDERS 3Ien and Women Killing Each Other In Province of Apulia. PARIS, Aug. 29. (Special.) Short age of water In the Italian province of Apulia is creating considerable distress and has caused two tragedies. Yesterday a woman who refused to give water to another woman was at tacked and killed by the latter with a hammer. Today near Bar,i a young man demanded water from a water carrier for his fiancee. The carrier refused, and the young man snatched his pitcher from him, struck him on the head with it and killed him. The countryside Is devastated by the drouth,-and the government Is ne gotiating with shipping companies for the transport of water from Venice to Apulia. Men and Women as Friends. Vanoc In the Referee. Men prefer men to women for friends because betwen them there Is a sense of equality that Is absent from all their relations with the opposite sex. Men, moreover, disliking the way women treat women, confide in each other with knowledge that their confidence is more likely to be respected than when they entrust their secrets to a woman. The sense of honor among men, their antipathy to fidgets and agitation about trifles, provide a larger stock of the raw material of friendship be tween men than that with which na ture has provided the opposite sex.

GATHERING DATA IN EUROPE Commissioners Sent Abroad to De termine How Present Sched ules Affect Markets for Goods From the United States. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Aug. 30. When Congress assem bles in extra session in March. 1909. for the express purpose of revising the tar iff, both houses will be able to get right down, to business, for the preliminary work Is now in progress, and by the be ginning of the new administration com plete data will be available for the use of the two committees which will handle the new tariff measure. Under the con stitution, tariff legislation must originate in the House of Representatives, and the House of Representatives imposes upon the ways and means committee the duty of framing all tariff bills that are to be considered in and passed by the House. Therefore, as soon as the House organ izes and elects its Speaker, a ways and means committee will be organized, and that committee will at once begin the framing of the tariff bill. Theoretically, the Senate can do noth ing with tariff legislation until it has been passed by the House, but practical ly the Senate will get busy as soon as Congress meets or rather the Senate committee will get busy. The commit tee on finance, which will readjust and report the bill after it passes the House, will have the same data that Is laid be fore the committee on ways and means, and' while the House 'committee is shap ing up Its bill, the Senate committee will be in constant session, deciding what sort of bill It will report to the Senate. The finance committee Is not required to retain anything but the number and title of the House bill; It may, If It so desires, strike out all after the enacting clause and report an entirely new bill. As a matter of fact, the Senate will have more to say about the final tariff bill than will the House, for the Senate will make radical changes in the House measure, thus throwing the question into conference, and almost without exception the Senate dominates conference commit tees on Important legislation. During the past session, the Senate au thorized three special committees to in vestigate various phases of the tariff question, and to prepare data that will be necessary In readjusting the Dlngley rates. Senators Aldrich. Hale, Daniel and Teller are now abroad, studying tar iff and trade conditions from the foreign standpoint, inquiring into how our tariff affects American products that enter the markets of Europe, and how American prices abroad compare with American prices on the same commodities at home. Another committee, headed by Senator Hopkins of Illinois, is to begin sessions New Fall Waistings New and wanted styles in Waisting Flannels on display in the linen aisle.

The third committee, headed hy Sen ator Burrows, is now in session in Wash ington, looking into the administrative features of the Dlngley law, ascertaining what changes are deemed desirable by the Treasury Department, and what new legislation is thought necessary. This same committee will gather data from departmental sources, bearing on the question of tariff duties and our Import and export trade. The fact that the Senate authorized In vestigations by special committees Is in dication that the Senate, as long ago as last Spring, concluded that the tariff mist be revised at the beginning of tlie next administration. Even Chairman Payne, of the House ways and means commit tee, and his lieutenant, Representative Dalzell. were forced to admit, during tha past session, that revision was soon to come, and both weakly confessed that they believed the tariff should be read Justed. That Congress will be called together in special session Is no longer a ques tionthat Is. if Taft is elected In No vember. The Republican nominee has declared it his Intention to call a special session soon after his Inauguration, and. furthermore, the Republican party Is committed to revision in Its platform adopted at Chicago.
