PARIS. Oct 11. The long standing uneasiness among railroad employes developed last night Into a decision to strike on the part of those employed by the Northern roads. The decision is the result of the re fusal of the roads to grant the de mands of the men, chief of which is that the minimum dally wage should be 6 franca. No freight trains left Paris last night, and there appears every likeli hood that the whole system will be stopped in the morning. The tracks have been cut at St. Qucntln. The postofflce has already prepared to substitute a special automobile serv ice for mall trains north. The military squadrons of Fontaine bleu and other garrisons near Paris arrived and the prefecture of Police declares that the operation of all lines, even through Burban, were assured this morning, the engineers being replaced by soldiers. The early morning trains scheduled to leave between 4 and a o'clock did not leave Paris. APPLE BOXESARE SCARCE Demand for Walla Walla Valley Is Insufficient for Big Crop. WALLA WALLA. Wash.. Oct. 10.

That tills will result In serious finan cial loss is not now believed, but it Is not thought the trouble can soon bs remedied. Everywhere conditions are nearly the same. It seems, and appeals to outside mills for help have proved In vain. TOWN'S RESERVOIR DRY Railroad Company Hurriedly In stalling Pumping System. PENPIKTON. Or., Oct. 10.

All the Republican nominees in Oregon were so selected, and I shall support the ticket. Trust Privileges Opposed. 'Progressive Republicanism means that special privileges, now being en joyed by trusts and monopolies, must be cut out, and that maximum ratee to be charged by public service corpora tlons. ' exercising monopolies, must be fixed by law. based upon fair physical valuations. This will equitably adjust the cost of living, and give equality of opportunity to all. It is the only thing that will prevent either public owner shlpeor Socialism, both of which are to be avoided if we woul'J retain our pres ent liberties and opportunities for hap Dlness. "For the special benefit of Oregon I shall urge laws for the following pur poses: "Returning $5,350,000 due the state for Irrigation. "Creating a land court for each West ern state, to the end that greater no erallty and fairness shall be shown homesteaders. "Opening to settlement the 8.000.000 acres of agricultural land in Oregon now withdrawn from homestead entry "Guaranteeing the sale of the Oregon & California Railroad lands to actual settlers, according to the terms of the grant.

"Preserving forever the 15,000.000 acres of forest reserves In Oregon, which, by the way. constitute one-fourth of the state's area, but providing that the profits arising from the sale of ripe timber and grating privileges shall go Into the state treasury, and providing for local management of these lands by a state board of forestry under a trust arrangement with the Nation, not glv ing the state any power to ever sell an acre of the lands.

Mh2 HOLDUPS ROB GAFE Trio Make Clean Sweep and Then Effect Escape. CONTENTS OF SAFE SAVED Cnmaeked Robbers Interrupt Card Game In Commerce Buffet and Get Sereral Hundred Dollars in Watches and Sidney. Three unmasked men entered the Commerce Buffet, conducted by G. H. Judge, at 24S Stark street, and at the muzzles of drawn revolvers compelled the proprietor, Robert Macintosh, a contractor, and L. H. Peal, an employe of the Southern Pacific Company, to hold up their hands while two of fie thieves pilfered their pockets and robbed the cash register. The trio, after securing several hun dred dollars In valuables, backed out the front door, keeping their victims under cover until they dashed through the exit and made their escape. Though the crime took place a little more than 200 feet away from the seat of police activities no clews had been obtained nor had any arrests been made up to a late hour last night. The police have, however, minute descriptions of the holdups and promise to take the cul prits Into custody soon. . The scene of the crime Is one of the most exclusive readezvous In the down town district for gentlemen with a fastidious taste for beverages. Just at the moment the thieves entered the place last night it was practically de serted, save for the presence of Judge and Macintosh and Peal, who had saun tered in but a few moments before. Card Game Interrupted. The three agreed to play a game of cards and had hardly seated themselves at a table In the rear when the thugs were observed marching in the front door, where one . stood guard. The three raised their revolvers at the same time, each levelling his weapon at a particular occupant of the chairs about the card table. W'hUe the smaller of the trio re CwiHlU, 10, br Tb.

One entered the booth and commanded the three players to elevate their hands. They complied and while one snatcher a $250 gold watch and chain from Macintosh and pilfered his pockets of valuable, in cluding $20 in gold, the other com pelled Judge to hoist his hands and took his watch, -valued at $100, and a small quantity of silver from his pockets. Peal in the interim was cowered in a corner of a booth by a threat to "shoot his can full of holes." When Judge and Macintosh had been robbed of the valuables, the thugs turned to Peal. While one pressed a revolver to his head the other snatched a valuable Masonic charm from his watch chain and in turn took his watch and chain, valued at 250, and a wallet containing valuable papers and a bank book from bis coat pockets. Ignorance Plea Saves Safe. Completing their thievery in the card booth, the pair turned to Judge and, pressing their revolvers against his body, ordered him to open the safe that stood under the back bar. Judge pleaded Ignorance of the combination. He diverted the attention of the thieves by declaring that he was but a clerk In the place and possessed no know ledge of the manner In which the safe could be opened. Accepting his dec larations as being true, one of the rob bers darted behind the bar and deftly manipulating a key on the cash regis ter, opened it. scooping out $15 In silver. Deliberately secreting their plunder In their pockets, the two thieves backed toward the front door while, their comrade covered the three vic tims with his weapon. Hurling a dire threat against the lives of the three men whom they had stripped of their valuables, the trio dashed through the swinging doors and vanished. An interval of 10 minutes elapsed be fore Macintosh and Peal mustered enough courage to venture to the front door and make their way to police headquarters around the corner, where thev leave the alarm. i A dozen detectives were immediately assigned to the case by Captain of De tectives Moore. Peal, one of the victims, is employed In the operating department of the Southern Pacific Company and has headquarters at Los Angeles.
