BILL BY TOWNSEND
One o! First Subjects in Message
by President Roosevelt.
WEAK CASE OF THE RAILROADS
Measure Passed by Last House Was
Intended to Correct Frror
In Former L'aw.
Washington, Oct. 7. Representative
Townsend, of Michigan, joint author of
the Esch-TownBend railroad rate bill
that passed the house of representatives
last winter, and who will reintroduce
substantially the Bamo bill and lead the
fight for its passage at the coming ses
sion, after a conference with the presi
dent today said:
"Ono of the first subjects, if not the
first, which the president will discuss
in his annual message will be railroad
freight rates."
Mr. Townsend says he will not make
any material change in his bill, and it
is his understanding that the president
approves its general features and would
be satisfied if it should become law.
"We had but ono idea in framing
that bill," said Mr. Townsend, "and
that was to correct an omission in tve
original law for regulation of railroadi).
According to the law, the commission
could not make an order which would
remedy an evil condition or any unjust
condition that was found to exist. It
actually exercised that power for a
number of years, but it was finally
determined that it did not have the
power. It was to give the commission
that power that the house of represent
atives passed its bill last winter. The
rest of the bill merely furnished ma
chinery for expediting hearings and for
carrying out the essential provisions of
the bill, which was to fix a reasonable
rate when a rate was found to be un
reasonable. No statement that I have
seen in opposition to this legislation
since congress adjourned has modified
my view as to the wisdom of adopting
this course."
DEAD IN HUNDREDS.
Typhoon in Philippines Kills by Whole
sale and Islands Laid Waste.
Manila, Oct 7. Government reports
show that the result of the recent storm
is very serious. At least 200 natives
and 25 Americans and foreigners were
killed. It is impossible to identify
man of the latter.
The government's police work the
past year in the provinces ol davte,
Ttatnnraa and the island of Samar.
which made possible the largest acreage
planted in the history oi the islands,
has been undone, and it is estimated
that the storm has retarded develop
ment one year in the hemp provinces
Tn Alba v. Soreocron. Masbate and Sa
mar fields have been devastated, ware
houses destroyed and stocks damaged.
Roads are impassable and the transpor
tation facilities are crippled. The loss
is incalculable. In Albay and Sorso-
con 80 ner cent of the buildings, dwell
.ings, schools and warehouses have been
destroyed.
The storm, in connection with the
severe drouth' which obtained early in
the year, will, it is estimated, decrease
the receipts of the islands 40 per cent.
The army is a heavy loser at southern
posts.
Tatt Will Keep Canal Work.
Washington, Oct. 7. The members
of the Isthmian Canal commission will
remain under Secretary Taft, who will
go to Panama in November to investi
gate and thoroughly inform himself of
the conditions in the canal zone. The
decision to keep the control of the canal
in the War department instead of
transferring it to the State department
wbb reached yesterday m a discussion
that followed the cabinet meeting. Mr.
Taft will proceed to Panama and re
turn to Washington about the time con
gress convenes.
Examining Route of Canal.
Colon, Oct. 7. The members of. the
advisory board of consulting engineers
of the Panama canal, who arrived here
yesterday from. New York, today went
by special train to Mindi, Gatun and
Bobio, where examinations will be
made of the various sites proposed as
suitable for dams. The party will em
bark on steam launches to Btudy the
Chagres and its deviations at the points
mentioned, returning this evening
down the canal from Gatun to Colon
in launches.
Rain Soaks Fraser Valley Wheat.
New Westminster, B. 0., Oct. 7.
The late rains of this district .have done
thpusands of dollars of damage to
Standing grain in the Fraser valley,
where thousands of acres of late wheat
stood unshocked, but ready for the bar
vest, when the rain commenced that
has continued for the past three weeks.
For years the province has not been
visited with such damaging weather
and the farmers Bay the wet weather
has proven disastrous to all late crops,

of the Daily Telegraph quotes the semi
official Kokumin Sbimbun to the effect
that Secretary Taft' visit to Tokio baa

STEAMER ON ROCKS.
St. Paul a Total Wreck Between San
Francisco and Portland.
Eureka, Cal., Oct. 0. The steamer
St. Paul, of the San Francisco & Port
land Steamship company, under com
mand of Captain Clem Randall, bound
from San Francisco to Portlandf went
ashoro early yesterday morning at
Point Gorda, a short distanco south of
the entranco to this harbor, during a
dense fog. She had 75 passengers on
board, all of whom wore safely trans
ferred to other steamers. The vessel,
which waa laden with a cargo of gono
ral merchandise, will probably be a
total loss.
The coast off Point Gorda is feared
by all coast seamen. It is rocky and
treacherous. The old Humboldt was
wrecked there about ten years ago, and
was a completo loss. The Orizaba went
ashore on tho rocks there five years ago,
and tho Homer was another Bhip to bo
caught on the jagged reefs at that
place.
When the St. Paul struck she was
15 miles out of her course. Tho third
officer was at the bridge at the time.
Tho steamer struck at S o'clock in tho
morning, during a denBe fog. She now
lies with her stern to tho beach, 150
yards from the shoro, and has. been
abandoned by captain and crew. It is
though c that the vessel will be n total
loss.
The St. Paul lies in a nest of rocks,
bow to the northwest, and with a .alight
list to seaward, 1J miles below Point
Gorda. Apparently, she is in good
condition, the sea having smoothed
down considerably since she struck.
It is smooth between the wreck und the
shore, but rough on the outside.
ISSUE BONDS TO BUILD CANAL.
President's Scheme to Stop Deficit
in Treasury.
Washington, Oct. 6. President
Roosevelt has decided upon the main
recommendations in his forthcoming
message to congress. One will be for
creating a separate fund for the con
struction of the Panama canal, another
will call for radical reorganization of
the diplomatic and consular Bervice.
It is intended to relieve tho United
States treasury by placing upon poster
ity its proper portion of the burden of
building the great Isthmian waterway.
It is fe't that money for canal con
struction should come from long-time
bonds and not be drawn from the treas
ury direct. '
If congress approves, it will create a
separate fund, out of which can be
drawn the $50,000,000 already ap
propriated and the United States reim
bursed to that amount. This will re
move the annoyance of a yearly deficit.
TURN OVER CANAL TO ROOT
Taft Discovers He Has Too Many
Irons in the Fire.
Washington, Oct. 6. Secretary Taft
will at the first opportunity take up
with the president the proposition to
transfer the control ot the Panama
canal from the War department to the
State department. It was bis inten
tion to discuss, the matter with the
president at his conference today, but
the lack of time prevented his doing bo
The question was brought up some time
ago, but for various reasons it was
postponed to a more favorable occasion.
Since the Spanish-American war, in
volving tho acquisition of tho Philip-
.A. 1 t
pines, the wors oi ine war aepari-
ment has greatly increased and the sug
gestion that a transfer to the State de
nnrtment of the canal work, with the
many perplexing questions which are
bound to come up, has been under con
sideration. Mr. Taft, it is known, is
willing that a transfer should be made
basing that disposition on expediency
Rumors of a Big Haul.
Seattle, Wash., Oct. 0. The sheriff's
office has been informed that ,xpress
Messenger Charles Anderson, in the
Great Northern car which was dyna
mited by the bandits, stated to passen
gers on the train that the through safe,
which was blown up, contained $47,
500. and that the robbers secured it
all. The report that there was that
much money is denied by the express
company officials. At the same time
the officials give the story creaence in
view of the fact that the largest ship
ments are on the overland train.
Alaska Posts Have Winter Supplies
Vancouver Barracks, Wash., Oct. 0.
.Tho nMat nllnrtfrmnRtflr of the de-
norfmnnt nf flip ("Vdnmbia has received
notice that all tho posts of Alaska have
received their entire amount of sup
plies and are now ready to close traffic
for the winter. This Is ol special im
portance to the Alaskan posts and also
a great burden taken off the quarter
master's department, as the shipping of
supplies during the summer months is
very brisk.
Can Save Million on Printing.
WnnliJnotin. Oct. 0. Presidont
Roosevelt had a talk today with Repre
sentative Charles B. Landis, of Indi-
. Al. - til
ana, on the worn oi me coiamnwio
whiclr is to investigate the conditions

Kfcrnhnra nf tho committee are said to
bolieve it easily possible to reduce the
expenses of the government printing
office at least 11,000,000 a year.
OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
LET FOR TWO YEARS.
Oregon's Convict Labor Goes to the
Stove Foundry People.
Salem An agreement has been
reached between Governor Chamberlain
and the Loewenberg-Golng company for
the leasing of convict labor at tho peni
tontiary for a poriod of two years. Tho
prico to be paid for labor is tho samo
that has prevailed in the past, but sev
eral changes have been made in tho
contract in other particulars.
Because there is a popular desiro
that convicts bo employed on the pub
lic roads, in which, desire Govornor
Chamberlain joinB, and becauso tho
last legislature authorized tho appoint
ment of a commission to investigate
tho subject and report to tho next legis
lature, the governor refused to mako a
contract now for tho leasing of convict
labor for more than two years. In
sistence upon tho shorter period made
it impossible to secure a higher prico
than has been paid in the past 3)
cents per hour for each man.
The new contract requires tho stovo
foundry proprietors to employ not less
than 150 men a day, whereas tho min
imum number heretofore has been 100.
There are now 890 prisoners in the
penitentiary. About 100 of theso aro
employed on the farm, in the stables,
in the kitchen, and on other work con-
nccted with the management of the in
stitution. This leaves 290 to be other
wise employed. The foundry will now
take not less than 150, leaving 140 out
of employment. At majpy times the
foundry will employ more than 150,
but thiB number must be paid for, oven
though not worked.
What to do with tho 140 idle men ie
now the problem. A few of them can
be employed on tho public roads near
Salem under a co-operative arrange
ment with the county court, and a
gang will be put at work grubbing out
a piece of state land on the Keiorm
Bchool iarm. ThiB will still leave
some idle, probably, at many times of
the year.
Wasco to Cultivate Hops.
The Dalles Wasco county will, it is
expected, in a few years become the
banner hop producing county of the
state. This 'season a number of iarm
era have been experimenting in hop
culture with satisfactory results. The
hops they have produced are of an ex
cellent quality and the yield is very
large. Bo succssful has been the ex'
periment that a number of farmers are
now contemplating putting out large
yards nexc season and engaging, in the
business of hop raising on an extensive
scale. There are thousands of acres in
the county suitable for hop fields, as
the hops thrive wtihout irrigation and
will do well on almost any of tho up
land that is sheltered from wind.
Quality Is Perfect.
Salem While it is yet too early to
make accurate statements of the yield
of hops in Marion county this year, es
timates by men in the best position to
iiitlco are that the total vield will be in
the neighborhood of 37,000 bales. The
quality will be perlect. in anout a
week, when the work of baling is far
ther advanced, a fairly accurate state
ment of the actual yield can be made
and the samples will show the quality.
Growers are Bhowjng little disposition
to sell at present prices, but it is be
lieved that 15 cents a pound would
cause rapid 'selling.
Decision Is Withheld.
Pendleton In fcho Circuit court ar
emmpntn were made bv the attorneya in
the Little Walla Walla irrigation Buit
that, hflfl heen brought in this district.
The point in controversy was the recent
order given by the court making the
state a party to the suit and requesting
the state engineer to make a nyuro
graphic survey of tho land involved.
After listening to the argument! of the
variouB attorneys, Judge Ellis an
nounced that his decision would bo
withheld, and October 21 was set as the
date for arguing the demurrers.
Yield and Quality Better,
firoirnn fiitv The curing and baling
of the hop crop in thiB county has
nnrrllv nrot?reBfled sufficiently to war
rant an accurate estimate as to the
yield. In the aggregate, however, the
vi1d bv mason of the increased acre
age, will exceed that of last year, tho
- . . . . i ti- i.il
quality will he materially Doner.
With the exception of a few yards,
the product will surpass in quantity
. - ,t Hi 111
that of last year, wnno me quality win
be far better than that of 1904.
First Snow Falls In Bourne.
Sumnter Tho mountaineera report
the first snow of tho season. In the
highlands surrounding Bourne light
falls have occurred in tho early morn
ing. The crnunu lias neen covereu,
but the snow has always disappeared

Benton County' Yield.
Corvallis The estimated yield of
hops in this vicinity is 1,410 balw.
FORFEIT TO STATE.
About $10,000 Paid on School Land
Lost to Buyer.
Sftlom Certificates of Balo for a total
of 20,000 acros of Btate school land
havo beon cancelled In tho last few
weeks, becauso of lapso in tho payment
of installments within the required
timo. Of this aggregate amount of
land, 7,000 acres ia in the limits ol
tho proposed Blue mountain forest re
serve, and, according to the rulings of
tho Intorior department, tho stato will
bo able to uso tho land &b baso for tho
selection of lieu land.
Tho original purchasers of tho land
havo forfolted tho payments mado,
amounting probably to 10,000 or
more, and tho stato has tho land to
sell again. Much of tho land outside
the reserve will probably not ho Balablo
for somb time, as tho stato has raisod
tho price to $2.50 an acre. The 7,000
acres ineido tho reaorvo should find a
market as baso for lieu land, at $5 an
aero.
A largo proportion of tho cortlfiatos
that have been cancoled wore among
thoso secured by violation of tho law
governing tho purchaBO of stato Bchool
land. Prosecution of land fraud cases
has scared many of tho holders of cer
tificates fraudulently obtained, and
they have thought beBt quietly to drop
the wholo transaction, forfeit what
they havo paid and let the stato keep
the land.
Adopt Early Closing.
Eugene Forty-seven business men
of Eiioreno who havo closed their bIiops
