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

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

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.'

FULTON HAPPY BUT SILENT
KEFVSKS TO TELL OF CONVER
SATION WITH HITCHCOCK.
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.

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."
