last night the city v. us crowded aa It
haa been only on rare occasion!.
The naval parade ol the loreuocm was
not aa large aa many that have Uwn

ginning ol the S'.'d week ol the strike
shows no material change in the aitua
tion. The operatora told Prusident
Rooealtoo Irlday that 17,000 men

whom theie are alwut 0.000), fire
boese, clerks and other employes, lie
Iso denied that 15 per cent ol the
normal production la being sent to the
market, and said : "II this stiitement
were true, the operator owe it to the
public to aell coal at the normal price,
instead ol charging dealers iio
120 a ton."
While the superintendents hereabouts
will not talk ol future plana, there is
an Impression among cillsena goneially
that a NtMim effort will lie nimle this
week by the coul companies to resume
operation. The officials of theee com
paniea have all along maintained tluii
men are ready to return to work, out

TOWN ALMOST DCSTROVED.
Blaze of Incendiary Origin Causae 150,000
Loaa at Oervals, Oregon,
(iervais, Or., Oct. 8. The business
district ol Gervais was reduced to at lies
in a destructive fire Sunday night that
entailed a loss approximating f 50,000.
Veiy little ol the property that was de
stroyed waa insured. The fire, which
was ol incendiary origin, started at
10:30 o'clock Sunday evening, and did
not exhaust itself until 6 o'clock next
morning. Three solid blocks of busi
nesa house were burned. Two small
residences were also burned, and the
principal residence district had a nar
row eca.
The fire waa discovered when in an
incipient state, but It spread rapidly.
The old fiame structures, thoroughly
dry and eeasoned, proved good fuel, and
the blaze waa aoon beyond control.
Among the first rf the busines houses
to go was Dr. P. II. Pitzgarald'a drug
s'ore, in which waa located the tele
phone exchange. A few minute later
the local telegraph service w as destroyed
by the melting ol tbe wires, and when
the seriousness ol the conflagration was
disclosed the people found themselves
cut off from all communication with
neighboring towns, and were practical
ly at the mercy ol the flames. An at
tempt to communicate with the Salem
fire department and procure aid in
fighting the fire failed.
For protection from fire the city a
few yeara ago built a water tower at a
cost ol 11,600, and equipped it with a
tank of 12,000 gallons capacity. The
tower took fir at tbe beginning ol the
fire, and waa ol no assistance to the fire
tighten. An antiquated band pump
and several street cisterns were all
that remained with which to battle
with the flamea. Tbe niterns finally
gave o t, and a large bucket brigade
being organited, water was carried from
wells about the town. Heroically did
the volunteers battle against beavy
odds. Tba hotel building, several
time ablase, waa saved, although a
woodshed that adjoined it not two feet
distant, waa destroyed. Had tlia hotel
burned, the principal residence part ol
the city would have been burned also.
BOXERtSM ON THE INCREASE.
A Woman ia a Prominent Leader
1,500
Native Christian Slain.
Victoria, R. C, Oct. 8 Advices
have been received from China ol tbe
increase ol Boxer ism, both in Szechuan
and Chili. In Saechuan the Boxers,
some 10,000 strong, attacked Cbengtu,
the provincial capital, and there were
some sanguinary fights in the stieeta
Tha Boxera were beld in check by the
imperial lorcea, and a report being
proclaimed that reinforcements were
coming for the garrison, the Boxera
fled from Cbengtu and encamped at
Shippantan, where earthworks had
been thrown op.
The Boxen of Szechoan are led by a
woman, Liao Kuan i in, who ii alleged
to be one of the three sisters who were
arrested at Tientsin during the rebel
Hon of 1900, it being said that they
were "the Boxer goddesses. Letters
from Prince Tuan, Yung La and other
Boxer leadera were found in their
house. This woman, who is described
by Chinese papers as being very hand
some, bad attracted 10,000 Boxers to
mr itandard. The Chung King corre
spondent of the North China News lavs
She ia the most powerful rebel
chief in Szechoan."
It ia est i mated that 1,500 native
Christiana have been killed in this
province. In Chili Boxers are secretly
drilling every morning before di.yhght,
even in the vicinity ol the capital.

a Strong Addreaa for the Education of
Youth on Benefits of Irrigation-Senator
Patterson Declares that Pre tent
Law la Da to Roosevelt.
Colorado Springs, Colo., Oct. 8.
One of tbe strongest addresses of the
day at the National Irrigation oongren

of Colorado college, who told of the
need of more extenaive education of the

be aa important a branch of nniveisity
education as mining engineering is
today.
V illis Moore, chief of the weather
bureau at Washington, gave a valuable
addrtea on the weather bureau irriga
tion. He paid a high tribute to con
gress tor the pascage of the act, and
told of tbe important bearing it wonld
have on the work of his dpeartment.
He gave an interesting talk on the flood
bulletin serviie, the history ol attempt
ed rainmaking and kindred subjects.
Senator Patterson, of Colorado, said
le believed tbe irrigation act would
never have become a law without the
co-operation and assistance of Presi
dent Kooeevelt, following this with tbe
declaration that no one but Roosevelt
could even have overcome the opposi
tion to the bill in the president' own
party.
Representative Reeder, of Kanras,
who waa the author of tbe Reeder bill,
which was the irrigation act in line tor
passage when it waa superseded by the
bill which became a law, spoke ot the
history of the bill.

stereopticon lecture on "Ancient forms
of Irrigation" was followed by a recep

Hydrograpber Newell, of Washington,

OIL FIELD ON FIRE.
One of the Largest Beaumont Companies
Suffers a Loaa of $100,000.
Beaumont, Tex., Oct. 9. Another
destructive fire, the second within a
month, swept over a portion of the oil
fluid last night, Ciusing one probable
fatality and entailing a property lose
roughly estimated at $100,000. The
fire at 2 o clock this morning is still
burning, but practical oil men declare
the names will subside before daylight.
Thomaa Rowlev, a worker in the field,
was caught in the path ol the flames
and sustained burns from which he
will die. This ia believed to be the
only casualty.
The fire started in a peculiar manner.
Shortly before miduight a workman
lifted the top of his lantern to blow out
the light. The atmosphete wai heavily
laden with gaa, and in an instant there
wai a flash, followed by a sheet of
flame. The blaze was communicated to
a small aettling tank near by. In an
Instant a derrick adjoining the tank
wai enveloped in fiie, and with re
markable rapidity the flames spread to
other derricks. The fire department
and hundred! ot citizens rushed to the
scene, but their efforts to check the
flamea were unavailing.

When the rioter began their work, tbe
majority of the non-union ex ploy e of
the company gave themselves into the
bands of the police for protection, bat
some deserted to tbe strikers. Four
cars were stalled on the switch and all
the windowa in them were broken.
The trouble was precipitated by tbe
calling ot a mass meeting by the Feder
ation of Labor. This brought out an
enormoua crowd. No effort ia being
made to run the can, and, it being evi
dent that tbe police were unable to cope
with tbe situation, the sheriff waa ap
pealed to, and be aaked the aid of the
military. It waa thought several ot

and be ia now in a serious condition

WILL NOW APPEAL TO MINERS.
Resumption of Work to be Urged on Con
dition of National Inquiry.
Washington, Oct. 7. A final effort,
with hopes of success, ia to be made to
end the coal strike. It baa been dis
cussed by the president and some of hii
advisors, and while the idea ia still in
an uncompleted state, and the final
result stul uncertain, yet it often a
method which now seems to be the only
solution of the problem.
The suggestion ii made that Presi
dent Mitchell, ot the United Minework
era, may be able to bave bis men now
on strike return to worn, in order to
avert tbe impending disaster which a
fuel famine will cause, and that at aa
early a date aa possible there shall be a
complete investigation by the national
legislature and by the state legislature
of Pennsylvania into the anthracite coal
aituation, witn a view of bringing be
fore the public the facta and condiltona
of the miners, with a view of legisla
tion or recommendations for relieving
the condition of the miners in the near
future.
While it ia not absolutely possible to
guarantee auch an investigation, there
ia little doubt that recommendations
by the president and the executive of
Pennsylvania would be promptly acted
upon by congress and the Pennsylvania
legislature. '
