All Surrounding Country
" in Asia Minor.
POWERS SEND WARSHIPS
Moslem Vanatics Go Out to Tarsus
After Overwhelming Armenians
at Adana Two More
Missions Burned.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 17.' The
.outbreak of religious fanaticism which
broke out In mutual slaughter of
Turks anil Christians at Adana, In Asia
.wimir, not only continues there, but has
spread throughout that and several
neighboring vlllayets. The great i
powers have taken alarm and are pre- l
pacing to send warships to Mersina, the i
nearest port, to protect their subjects. I
From Alexandretta comes news that j
the Christians on the Pais Coast have
been, attacked by Mussulmans. Two j
-ui laLiuu vinayeis nave oeen Darned
over and the Lazarlst mission is in
'grave danger.
There Is great excitement among the
Miissulmuiuj at Beirut. Syria and Erae
rouni, Armenia, and massacres are
feared.
No confirmation has yet been received
of the-reported killing of two American
missionaries at Adana. The latest in
tflliKonce sots forth that several hun
dred Armenians and Moslems were
killed in Adana and that that quarter
of the town was finally overwhelmed
and tlestroyed by flames.
It appears that the Armenians made
good fight and defended their quarter
of the town well against the fanatical
Mohammedans, but in spite of their
hrnve resistance, they were driven, back
and their opponents backed their homes.
Three hundred Mohammedans asned
with rlfl.s left Adana by train for Tar
"" about 0 miles away. Since the
departure of these men, communication
-with Tarsus has been Interrupted,
tirave Hpprehenslon Is felt regarding
tho situation there.
JUSTl KDAXfE IS SPREADING
Moslem Outbreaks at Alexandretta
and Tarsus Alarm British.
CONSTANTINOPLE. April 17. The
British Vice-Consul at Alexandretta
telegraphs that the most disturbed con
dition prevails there, and requests the
Instant dispatch of a war vessel. It Is
reported that serious disturbances have
extended throughout the Vilayet of
, Adana. although details are lacking.
A telegram received today from the
Ice-Consul at "Adana reports a great
loss of life and" property at that place,
but tt adds that disorders have practi
cally ceased in the town.
- Serious attacks have been tiKe on
the Christians at Tarsus, and part of
he town has been burned. A school
thought to be the American school, was
saved. No additional news has been re
eelved here regarding the fate of th
missionaries. A Biitish warship Is now
on Its way to Mersina.
DISTURBANCE IS SUBSIDING
Wjlle Says Arm Broken British
Warships Summoned.
LONDON, April J7. The Foreign Of
fice has received a telegram from Major
Daughty-Wylie. the British Vice-Consul
at Meiclna, who went to Adana at the
outbreak of the trouble. In substance
the Vice-Consul says that the situation
Is Improving. He mentions incidentally
that his arm was broken while he was
attempting to check the disorders.
The Foreign Office haa asked the Ad
miralty to send warships to the dis
turbed area for the protection of British
interests.
MANY CITIES ARE BURNED
Tarsus Blotted Out and Peasants
Pour l'orth to Kill.
'PARIS, April IT. Dispatches re
ceived from Constantinople say the sit
uation In Ailana has become very much
worse; that a number of cities have
been burned, and that Tarsus has been
almost blotted out.
The dispatches further state that a
French factory had been sacked, and
that the peasants were coming down
.from the mountains and massacring the
Armenians.
Italy Sends Cruiser.
TIOMK. April 17. The Italian cruiser
Francisco Kerrucclo, at . present at
Bongazl, Africa, has been ordered to

Interests there.
IGNORANCE, PATTEN SAYS

the piwsont. That the fight between
opposing interests will be one of the
most exciting In the history of the
Hoard of Trade no one doubts. In the
aggregate. It will be waged between
those who beliove In the accuracy of the
c Joverninenfa reports and those who
pin their faith to the Patten aide.
AV1LSOX CONTRADICTS PATTEN
Secretary Declares There Is Plenty
or Wheat in Farmers' Hands.
WASHINGTON, April 17. "There is
urtiulcnt wheat In the country at nor
mal prices to make bread for the Ameri
cans up to trie time when the new crop
conies in," declared Secretary of Agri
culture Wlleon, "and those who expect to
kcp prices up expect to get their money
out of the common people and consum
ers." Secretary Wilson's remarks were In re
ply to statements of James A. Patten,
of Chicago. Mr. Patten not only dis
credited the department's estimate of the
wheat crop, but said that the supply of
wheat was scarcer than the Govern
ment's estimates show.
"The reporters of the Department of
Agriculture are farmers living on farms
and know. If anybody knows, and have
knowledge if anybody has knowledge, of
the facts." declared the Secretary "We
cannot whistle these men down the' wind
If we seek an honest class of commu
. nity and hesitate to take the words of
the American, farmers, we will not es
tablish truth by roing to the gamblers
"The large majority of wheat has left
the hands of the farmers." continued the
, Secretary. "A fictitious price has been
created. The farmers were not beneflcl
I artra of euch conditions. They will nat
' urally plant wheat, and next year's
, crop Is likely to be abnormally large
when the gamblers' will not be in the 1
market, and mischief will be done by dis
turbance of the crop system."
To show that a scarcity of wlipAt in
this country is not the cause for the I
present increase in prices. Secretary
"Wilson points out that-the amount of
wheat produced was '31,000,000 bushels
more for the - last crop year than-"wife
found the- previous year.- After calling
attention' to "the" Department's - report.
whlch indicated that the amount of
wheat on farms on March 10 last, was
about 143,000.000-btisliels, In round num
bers, the Secretary states that an analy
sis of the wheat movement after March
10 in past years indicates that the yearly
estimate of the preceding crop on farms
at that time has been about 6 per. cent
below the actual percentage. He says
that when wheat becomes dear, as It is
now as the result of Uie Chicago corner,
people use more corn than they do when
wheat Is cheaper, and declares that the
people who are responsible for the corner
will : have to consider that less wheat
will be used while it remains at an ab-.
normally high price.
In the corner of. 1898. when wheat was
run up to Jl. 85, the price was depressed
the following year below SO cents, the re
sult undoubtedly of the upsetting of the
equilibrium of the normal supply and
demand.
PATTEN" POOL MAKES CXEAX-UP
Profits to Dalei In Deal Estimated at
About Five Millions.
CHICAGO, April 17. "The Patten
pool has cleaned up between $4,000,
000 and $5,000,000 on the May wheat
deal," says the Tribune in a news arti
cle today. 'Jim' Patten has pocketed
fully two-thirds. The market experts es
timate that the broker and his coterie
have sold to the public 20,000,000 bushels
of May wheat at an average profit of 20
cents., giving them a profit of $4,000,000,
and besides this he has made a substan
tial protlt In July wheat, to say nothing
of the September and December options,
which he has scalped in the market for a
profit of from 2 to 5 cents, making his
total winnings not much under t5.000.000."
ADOPT GRADING SYSTEM
COITMBIA RIVER LOGGERS CON
.KEK IN PORTIiAND.
Present Prices Will Be Maintained,
but Output Will Be Limited
to Some Extent.
y -
Columbia River loggers, at a meeting
in the Portland Commercial Club assem
bly hall yesterday, voted to Inaugurate
a systematic method of grading logs.
Incidentally the logging situation was
discussed and It was learned that the
market is In a satisfactory condition
with an average price prevailing of 19
a thousand, with tw .or,i i
w vj i a a
Harbor, where the price has been cut
euiue.
Asmus , Brix, of the Brix Logging
Company, was chairmarrof the meet
ing. A C&nvaM nf Ilia
vealed the fact that owing to temporary
oiiBi.ai.uu in Lne lumDer business, the
demand for lnp-e " . i i

formerly, and it was with a view of
wiuiimiis as nearly as possible the
probable future demand that the meet
ing was cafted. Its deliberations were
confined to that phase of the situation.
It was the consensus of opinion that
moderation should ..prevail In the mat
ter of logging operations for the imme-'
diate future. E; P. Blake, manager of
the Washington Log Brokerage Com
pany, reported that similar conditions
prevailed on Puget Sound and Grays
Harbor. Mr. Blake said: i
"The loggers believe that If they will
adjust their output to meet the rea
sonable demands of trade, as do other
producers of raw material, the tem
porary depression In the log market
will be of brief duration."
The conference developed the fact
that the loggers feel Justified In main
taining present values. There has been
no change in log prices on Willapa
Harbor, Columbia River or Puget
Sound during the past 90 days. The
rt n 1 v TnfA wlirtr. VtA inM. - 1 i
ported temporarily weak is Grays Har- I
oor, ana aavices rrom that section re
ceived at the meeting indicated that the
present conditions were only tem
porary. A. W. Clark, E. W. Ring and Asmua
Brix were appointed as a committee to
go to Puge Sound and investigate the
merits of the grading system for logs
now successfully employed in that sec
tion. The committee will make a re
port at the next meetine- nf ih r

May l. At that time the matter of i
lorming a permanent organization will
be considered.

laui-oaa lor a right of
way up the Deschutes Canyon will be
approved hi ao t," , BO
thiT Jf3, s"bject to a stipulation that
company snail elevate Its
tracks at certain points If later re
quested to do so by the Reclamation
feervice. This stipulation has been
agreed to.
Mr. Ballinger stated , today that the
Deschutes Irrigation project had not
been abandoned. It is not the intention,
however, immediately to enter upon its
construction, for there are no funds
available.
It Is further explained that there Is
no material conflict between the two
railroads seeking right of way through
the Deschutes Canyon, and as soon as
the routine handling of applications can
be completed the papers will be placed
before the Secretary for his approval.
General Manager O'Brien, of the Har
riman lines in this territory, was out
of the city last night, and could not be
asked what course his company- will
take In regard to the stipulation of the
Interior Department making provision
for the elevation of the tracks of the
Deschutes Railroad in future, if the de
partment decides later to build a high
dam In the Deschutes River. However
it is understood that the terms of the
requirement of Wie Interior Depart
ment are acceptable to the Harriman
interests, and they will accept the per
mission to build up the Deschutes Can
yon. Plans have been .going forward for
the construction of the Deschutes road
ever since it was authorized by Mr.
Harriman on his visit to Oregon last
September. Preliminary detail has
been worked out, surveya'ap the can
yon are complete, and construction can
be' started wathin a very short time
after, the Government has given per
mission to proceed.
It is the intention of the Harriman
interests to put a large force of men
in the field and construct the new line
with all possible speed. A number of
other obstacles remain to be removed,
among them being conflict at a number
of points with the Oregon Trunk Rail
road and several private irrigation and
power projects In the Deschutes Can
yon. However, It Is hoped that these
difficulties can be overcome without
trouble, and that the new road to- the
interior may be started during the
present Summer.
The road is projected from the mouth
of the Deschutes River to Redmond,
the heart of the Irrigation district
about Bend, a distance of 130 -miles.
For most of the distance the route lies
close to the Deschutes River. The road
w-ill tap the rich Agency Plains dis
trict anc open up a very large section
of Central Oregon.
D. C. Henny, supervising engineer of
the Reclamation Service, had not re
ceived word up to last night of the ap
proval of his recommendations by the
Secretary of the Interior. He received
advices yesterday from the department,
however, that th, reported abandon
ment of the Descflutes project was un
true, and that the Government had no
such intention.
The agreement of the Harriman in
terests to the stipulation safeguarding
the Government rights In future, says
Mr. Henny, was to have been completed
between the legal department of the
Harriman lines at Washington and the
Interior Department. He says officials
of the Deschutes Railroad ; here, with
whom conferences were held, decided
10 recommena to tne eastern officials
that the road be built, even if the Gov
ernment Irrigation project were safe
guarded by requiring the railroad to
climb' over the power dam yet to be
built at a later date.
