A heavy Know fell In the high lands Thankssivlnn eve. and on Thursday the mountain were snow-covered far down. The valley weather Is sunny and warm and the boys had started out Thursday mornins to wnlk up to the snow line. They were without ' coats or luncheon, intending to be bark to eat Thanksgiv ing dinner. They did not appear an to ward evening their friends became greatly alarmed and a searching party was started out. This party did not re turn during the night and the next day the whole county turned out. The search was kept up all day Friday and all of 'riduy night. Two gangs of Japanese from the Li moniera ranch were impressed Into serv ice. Every available saddle-horse in the neighborhood was brought into use. Henry Newman, a pumper at the Empire oil wells, and V. Hamlin, who had been searching all day. found the bodies at the he;id of Timber Canyon, about 10 miles frot Santa Paula.

While the snow was but five miles up the mountain side, the trail Into it was a long and arduous one and the boys no doubt became wearied and laid down to rest and fell asleep from sneer exhaustion and froze to death in the deep snow which covered everything. COAST FIR AFFECTS TRADE Zev Zealand Sawmill Owners Want Duty Impo&etl on Product. WELLINGTON. N. Z.. Nov. 28. The Dominion timber trade has been so seri ously afftcted by the increasing: importa tion of Oregon pine that an Influential deputation of local sawmill owners and timber merchants today petitioned the J'remU-r to Impose a duty on Oregon lum ber. Many mills In the Dominion already have teen forced to close down, and others will have to follow suit shortly. The Premier promised that he would appoint a royal commission to investigate the matter. He said that when the pres ent agreement expired. April 27, lltf. the government would refuse to renew the subsidies to steamers carrying timber axairwt the interests of Dominion work em. hut he said it was Impossible to deal with the question of duty before the next meeting of Parliament. It Is stated by Oregon exporters that lumber shipments to New Zealand from the Pacific Northwest during the past year have totaled about 12,tM.0u0 feet, a big advance over any former year's busi ness. Hitherto it has not averaged more than l.OOO.OuO feet. U is believed locally that the tremendous growth In the export lumber trade from the Northwest to New Xralund hat startled the people of that country and led them to seek some pro tection against the foreign product. W. D. Wheelwright, one of the big exporters of lumber at this port, does nt feel any alann at the hostility of New Zca landers to Oregon fir. He feels confident ttiat nothing can he done to keep the Oregon product out Inside of a year at any rate. "I understand the Premier of New Zea land will refer the matter to a com mission.' said he. "that haa been named to take the subject under consideration. It will accordingly be some time before It will be possible for the government to enaet a law imposing a duty on him er importations from Oregon. The commerce with New Zealand has largely been built up In the past year. It would hardly be possible for the United States to pass a retaliatory measure against New Zealand, for it already has a tariff directed against foreign lumber.'

Good Humor Confirms Belief That Chairman Will Aid Election of Republican Senator. OREGO.NIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Nov. 28. Senator Fulton returned this morning from Hot Springs, but de clined to rilscUMK either the object or the result of his conference with President elect Taft and Chairman Hitchcock. He smIW'd blandly when prortcled wirn ques tions, admitting that he was thoroughly satisfied w-lth the result, but would not go into details. Following the press dispatches which were sent from Hot Springs during Mr. Fulton's visit, his manifest sood humor would tend to confirm the reports that there is no sympathy among party lead ers with the attempted movement of certain alleged Republicans to compel the Oregon Republican Legislature to elect a Democrat to the Senate. Special press dispatches from Hot Springs strongly convey the impression that Mr. Hitchcock has no sympathy with the movement in Oregon, and the intimation is thrown out that there is at least no friction between Mr. Hitchcock and Mr. Taft over this issue. Mr. Fulton refused absolutely to deny or affirm the statements contained in Hot Springs dispatches and would not go so far as to admit tnat ne nan of the Senatorial contest with Mr. Taft or Mr. Hitchcock. REBEL NEED NOT INFORM RUSSIAN WILL ESCAPE, BE TRAYING COMRADES. Applause Greets Decision in Extra dition Proceedings When Rudo wicz Proves Loyalty. CHICAGO, Nov. 28. United States Commissioner Foote had difficulty in restraining an outburst of applause to day when he declared that Christian Rudowlcz. the Russian revolutionist. need not divulge the names of his comrades, who had plotted with him against the Czar In Russia. Rudowicz, defendant in extradition proceedings, wherein the Russian gov ernment alleges that the exile is a murderer and the latter insists that he was merely a member of a political committee which ordered the execu tion of three spies. He told an unre served story of his own connection with the revolution and that of his comrades, without giving their names. Mr. Rigby, attorney for the Russian government, insisted that these names be given or all of Rudowicz' testimony be stricken from the record. Clarence Darrow, counsel for the de fendant, declared that the evidence did not Justify this. He said: "Russia has her own police, her own gendarmerie and her own chambers. Let her find these things out for her self It is not for this court to lend its aid to the Russian Secret Service." Ttu court's ruling was of vital lro- portance to the defendant and in spite of all the bailiffs could do the court room, rang with applause. Falls From High Chimney. PATERSON, N. J., Nov. 28. As his playmates looked on with pride and amazement, Andrew Schecr, 8 years old, scaled a tall chimney of an abandoned brewery here, and stood for a moment triumphantly at the top. Then, to the horror of the boys and girls who watched him from the street below, he plunged downward to his death. Almost every bone in his body was broken. Children who witnessed the tragedy say that the old bricks in the chimney crumbled under the boy's weight, causing him to fall. Andrew was leading a party of boys, who were playing "follow the leader." Take advantage of Metzger's 25-per- cent-off sale. 312 Washington sireei.
