NORTHWEST IS PROSPEROUS Moneys Taken In by Presidential Of fices in Oregon, Washington and Idaho for the Fiscal Year Just 1 Ended and in 1001. OREGON JAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Sept 27. The postal receipts of a state or city are generally regarded as a safe indicator of their prosperity, and where large increases are noted, good conditions almost always prevail, while a slump In the gross receipts of such offices almost always marks a period of commer cial and industrial depression. In these dispatches has already appeared a brief statement of the rccelnts of the Presi dential offices of Oregon, Washington and Idaho for the fiscal year ended June SO. 1902, as compared with the preceding fiscal year. Presidential offices, by the way. arc those whose receipts for the year aggregate $1000 or over. Subjoined Is a complete tabulated statement, giving the comparison- with regard to each Presi dential office In the states named. In some instances the 1901 column Is found to contain blanks. Indicating that such offices were not in the Presidential class In that year. In other Instances the re ceipts shown for 1902 may be less than 51000, which indicates that tht office was made Presidential during the year 1902. and that returns for a full year cannot therefore be had.

(Special.) A. K. Rary. of this place, was struck and killed by a Northern Pacific Railroad en gine this afternoon. One side of his head was smashed, an arm and a leg were broken, and he died shortly afterward. The accident was ho .fault of the engineer. It seems that Rary, who was a sawmill employe, was returning to, his -work, from dinner, and was walking' along the ends of the ties. Tho train was approaching the depot, and slowing down at the time. The engineer whistled three, or four times. Apparently-Rary was absent-minded, or the noise of the mill drowned the rum bling of the approaching train, as he made no move to get off the track. Final ly, apparently realizing tie approach of the train, ho became excited and stepped directly in front of the engine. Mr. Rary leaves a wife and three small children. He came from Kansas about four years ago. James Muckle, In whose employ he was for some time past, says he was a strletly sober man, had perfect hearing, and was very industrious. He wa3 30 years old. GRIFFIN IS ACQUITTED. Jury .Exonerated II I in From Murder Charge in Killing Johnson. GRANT'S PASS, Orf, Sept 27. (Special.) The Jury returned a verdict of "not guilty" this afternoon In the, case of Cal vin Griffin vs. State of Oregon, for killing Edwin Johnson, at Waldo. The jury was out about three hours. Every one ac quainted with the facts in the case feels that the jury did right. Griffin has mod estly been. receLving the congratulations of his friends this afternoon. The evidence In the case that weighed heavily In favor of Griffin was the fact that he was backing away from Johnson when the latter was dealing him the blows In the face that blacked Griffin's eyes and broke his nose. The character of the two men also carried much weight In the rendering of the verdict. Johnson had the reputation of being a bully and an all-around bad man, and, as some of the witnesses testified, was the acknowl edged "terror of the community."

Smith, a civil engin eer, en route to Chicago, was on board. Other passengers were Dr. Jones and wife, of Washington, who are on their bridal tour around the world, and O.

Colonel Woodruff entered the Union Army as an enlisted man In tho ranks of the Tenth Vermont Volunteers In June, 18G2. He was badly wounded" at Cold Harbor. He was appointed to West Point In 18C7, but would have been rejected because of the effect of his wounds had not Secretary Stanton telegraphed, "Take him. wounds and all; he Is the kind of stuff we want."

This sum was turned over to Treasurer I&dd yesterday morning. In speaking of the contribution a member of the association said yesterday: "The Oregon and Washington division of the Travelers' Protective Association ha3 placed Itself on record as the first organ ization to contribute to the sword for Admiral Clark. The 'boys recognize the fact that Admiral " Clark, by his wonder ful performance with the ship which Is named for the state, did much to bring the name Oregon to the favorable atten tion of the world, and the commercial men are keen to see and appreciate any thing which reflects credit on the North west and honor on Oregon." This was the second subscription, the first being a substantial contribution from Congressman-elect J. N. Williamson, of Prineville. STRIKE IS ALL TALK. Prominent Brotherhood Official Says He Knows Nothing of It. LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 27. W. Newman, fourth grand master of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, of Cleveland, O., Is In this city on an an nual tour or Inspection of subordinate lodges. Speaking of the published re ports of a threatened- strike of railroad men, should a demand for an increase in wages be denied, Mr. Newman said that while an organization was effected In Kansas City last Summer of the chair men of the live great railroad employes' organizations, It did - not mean that the railroad men would make a demand for an Increase of pay, or that the new organ ization of tho Brotherhoods had the power to enforce such a demand if it should be made. He added: "If It is the purpose of this organiza tion to make a demand for higher wages, with a threat to go out on strike if the demand is not granted, as one of the general officers of the largest of tho rail road organizations I would know some thing about It. As1 a matter of fact, I know nothing of It. The organization could not Indorse Its demand, if it made one. The laws of the Brotherhood or Railroad Trainmen are strict on the sub ject of strikes, making It a penalty pun ishable by expulsion to engage In an Ille gal or sympathetic strike. "A strike cannot be ordered except when all other means of settling a difference have been exhausted and then only by a two-thirds vote of the members employed on any railroad system. The men of a railway system have control over their own lines and nowhere else." OIL IXSTEAD OF COAL FOR FUEL. Southern Pacific Issues an Order Changrius All Its Engines. OAKLAND, Cal., Sept. 27.

BLUES MOVE AGAINST BROWNS Maneuvers Are Free From Shass Bat tle, and Are Conducted Solely the Education of the 4500 Soldiers in Camp. . ( FORT RILEY, Kan., Sept. 27. Todaya warfare between the armies of tho blues and browns consisted of preparing to fight i without fighting. In military parlance, j tho maneuvers are described as follows;! "The entire force on the march with sultj able advance guard for a division ot waai strength, advance guard, entire main body in part Imaginary-" What was dona- is as follows: Early in the morning tho army of thdj browns, few in number, marched out to the north lino of tho reservation and thenv wheeling about went back over their tracks until they came in sdght of then advancing army of the blues. The brownsJ supposed to be only an advance guarffl supported by an Imaginary body of re serve troops, prepared for action as soon" as they sighted the blues, and the latter prepared for action as rapidly as pos- slble after the browns cama over thett horizon lines. wncn everytning was ready for the killing to commence, every body tramped back to camp, and thai maneuvers of the day were over. No Sham Battle About Maneuvers. There is none of the sham battle about tho maneuvers, which have now fairly opened. There Is nothing of the pomp and; glitter of war. It is all business. There ore no (spectacular charges with much noisy consumption of gunpowder. Every thing is done with the object of conveying a lesson, and when the problem has been explained the maneuver is over, hera will be no question of "who wins" In Army maneuvers. Everything Is done with the idea of teaching the younger officers of the regular Army and the vis itors of the National Guard how such things should be done in the presence of the actual enemy. The adyance guard of the main body under' the command of General Bates, comprised Company B, of the First Bat talion of Engineers, the First Squadron of the Fourth Cavalry. less one platoon, which remained with the main body, the Seventh Battery of Field Artillery cid two guns of the Sixth Battery of Field Artillery, the Eighteenth Infantry, two battalions of the Twenty-second Infantry, and a squad of 10 men of the Hospital Corps. It was accompanied by a number of wagons, carrying ammunition and en trenching tools and six ambulances. There were In the advance guard about 2500 men. The main body comprised all the remaining troops in camp, about 4300 in number. This formed the army of tho blues. The browns, who, by power ot imagination, were equal to the blues In numbers, were commanded by Colonel C. C. Carr, and consisted only of the sec ond squadron of, the Fourth Cavalry, tho First Squadron of tho Eighth Cavalry and! the Sixth Battery of Field Artillery, les two guns with the blues. Browns' LIne-Up for Battle. The browns moved out early in the morning, and at 9 o'clock were In position near tho north line of the reservation, where Colonel Carr formed his men fOQ battle, extending his line as much as pos slble to give the Impression that hla force was larger than It was. The Twen ty-second Infantry was on the left and left center, the Eighteenth on the right and right center. Meanwhile, along what Is known as the "Old Governor Harvey' road, General Bates was advancing -wltU hla army. Away out on either flank hist, scouts were thrown, and the light cav alry riding In advance of the column eag erly watched for Colonel Carr and his browns. When they were finally sighted, word was given to push forward as rapid ly as possible for some high ground in front of the column. The troops deployed; rapidly, forming lines of battle as they hastened up the hills, the batteries dashed; Into position, and with an almost incred ible speed were ready to open -upon the enemy. The Infantry reserves behind tho main line of battle fell Into position and ambulances and ammunition wagons went bumping over the rough prairie groundt to the places where they could extend tha greatest assistance. When the prepara tions for battle were completed the um pires declared the end of the day's work, and the march back to camp was takea up. There will be no excursion tomorrow, and on Monday the object-lesson will be "the contact of opposing forces of all arms." Sanger and Carter Leave for Camp. WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.
