MUST INTERVENE
Bn!y Disposition of the Contro
versy In Cuba.
TAFT DESPAIRS OF MEDIATION
"Moderates Willing to Accept Terms
of Mediators, but Liberals Not
Inclined to Yield.
Havana, Sept. 22. Peace for Cuba,
unless accomplished through American
intervention, aeemB to be further away
now than when Secretary of War Taft
and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon
began negotiations to harmonize the
opposing factions. The arrival today of
throe United States battle Bhips and
two cruisers in addition to those al
ready here has had little effect on the
insurgents in the field, and, when the
leaders of the revolution were apprised
of the squadron's presence thoy greeted
tho information with Spanish expres
sions to the effect that:
"They cannot come into the bruBh."
A meeting of the executive committee
of the Moderato party was hastily Bum
moned this evening and it was voted
unanimously to accept whatever dispo
sition of the controversy Messrs. Taft
and Bacon may decide upon, in the
hope that Buch a concession will induce
tie Liberals toyield Bimilarly. The
latter however, have aB yet signified
no willingnees to accept the decision of
the American mediators.
MessiB. Taft and Bacon have practi
cally abandoned their hope of finding a
middle ground and fear that a decision
in favor of either side would result in
no more than temporary tranquility
for the island. It is their belief that
American occupation is the only way
to end the civil warfare, and it is not
denied that intervention must be fol
lowed by American soveieignity. Mr.
Taft has cabled to President Roosevelt
regarding the gravity of the situation,
and Mr. Roosevelt is expected to dic
tate any further program.
MEAT LABELS TO TELL TRUTH.
BIDS FOR CHINESE.
Wilson's Rules Forbid Calling Pork
Beef and Libels on Lard.
Washington, Bept. 22. Further rul
ings in connection with the enforce
ment of the meat inspection law after
October 1 next were made public today
by the secretary of Agriculture and
give an idea of what consumers are to
expect hereafter when purchasing meat
products, particularly canned gocds
Anything savoring of a false or clecep
tive name will not be tolerated and no
picture, design or device which gives
any false indications of origin or qual
ity will be permitted on any label, aa
for instance the picture of a pig appear
ing on a label placed on beef products,
or the picture of a chicken upon the
label of a veal or pork product.
Geographical names are allowed to be
ubed only with the words "cut,"
"type," "brand," or "style," as the
case may be, except upon foods pro
duced or manufactured in the place,
state, territory or country named. For
instance, "Virginia ham" must be
marked "Virginia elyle ham;" "Eng
lish brawn" muBt be "English style
brawn;" "Westphalia bam" must be
"Westphalia style ham." The word
"ham," without prefix indicating the
species of animal is considered by the
department to be a pork ham, but trim
mings removed from the ham and used
in the preparation of potted meats or
eauBage, or when used alone, may be
known aa "potted ham" or "ham sau
sage." Frankfurter sausage no longer can be
known aa such, but muBt be tailed
Frankfurter style sausage."
The rules clearly define what consti
tutes pure lard, but prescribe that a
substance composed of laid, stearin or
other animal fat and vegetable oil may
be labeled "lard compound."

London, Sept. 22. The city corpora'
tion, at a meeting held today, resolved
.. to exert paressure on the president of
. the local government board, J. Burns,
for the introduction of a bill for com
pulsory inspection at the time of
slaughter of all animals intended for
the food of man, aa well aB the official

is to provide further that all foreign
killed meat brought in be tequired to
comply with the same standard, as
home-made meats.
Peasants In Grip of Famine.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 22. The ofll
cihl report just issued gives but little
ground for expectation that the famine
which baa already a grip on many pro
vinces in Russia will be leBS this wint
er. Although the winter wheat harv
est was above tho average, spring wLeat
proved a disappointment. The Zemst
vo coffers are empty through the fail
ure of the peasants to pay tare, and
all the work of relieving the famine
falls upon the central government.

Pacific Coast Lumbermen.
Chicago, Sept. 21. Various Eastern
and Western railroads, through their
legal representatives, made strenuous
objections today before the Interstate
"Commerce commission to the presenta
tion of testimony by the Pacific Coast
Lumber Manufacturers association in
its petition against 25 Western rail

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
STATE FAIR A SUCCESS.
Attendance at Salem About Equal to
Two Years Ago.
Salem Notwithstanding three half
days of cold, rainy wcathor, together
with the fact that this is tho height of
tho hop harvest, tho Oregon state fair
l 10W1 Koa lionn rmn of tllO most 8UC-
cesetul in tho history of tho stato. Tho
attendance was about equal to that of
two years ago and waB much larger on
Portland day. Sales of concessions and
advertising Bpace have been good and
receipts from thia sourco have boon
largo.
Tho additlonB to tho pavilion not on
ly made more Bpace for exhibits, but
gave more room for sales of conces
sions. Thoso circumstances mado tho
fair a success financially and it is stated
tbat thre are fundB on hand to pay
overy claim.
Nearly 4,000 people wero camped in
the grove in front of the fair grounds
and thecome-and-stay-all-week idea has
become so popular that a number of
regular visitors at the fair havo decided
to erect email cottages on the grounds
next year. Since regular streets and
blocks have been laid out, this can be
done satisfactorily.
Visitors to the state fair gave only
passing attention to tho sample roai
the government is building adjacent to
,tho state fair grounda. The end of tho
road and a few rods k of its length are
plainly visible from the street car track,
as also are the crushed rock bunkers,
but aside from the view thus obtained
tho visitors Daid little attention to the
road. The road won quite general ap
proval, especially on tho rainy days,
when the crushed rock road was entire
ly free from mud and Blush.
A few farmers and road supervisors
took time to inspect the mannei in
which, the road was built and made in
quiries sb to the construction, but the
greater number were more interested in
livestock and horse races.
Tunneling on O. R. fit N.
La Grande An enlarged force of
men is now engaged in tunneling the
mountains between Kamela and II i 1
sard in order tbat the O. R. fc N. main
line will not cross so miny treaties,
which at present are high and numer
ous. When the tunneling is completed
the Btream that now crosses and re
crosses the right of way will have a
continuous course on one side of the
track. Tho treaties will be filled in as
the new course is fixed, .and mnch re
pair and loss of time, which necessarily
follows from so many trestles, will be
eliminated. The scheme ia a gigantic
one and will require many months to
complete.
Labor Famine at Hood River.
Hood River The scarcity of laborers
at Hood River 1b said by sawmill men
and applegrownrs here to have become
a serious matter. One of the big mills,
which have been trying for a long time
to get white men for employment in its
plant, has had to fall back on Japs.
As they are said to be entirely unfa
miliar with the work they are a moat
serious handicap in getting out lumber.
Ranchers are in need ol men for pick
ing troples, and other work at this sea
son of the year, and are making every
effort to obtain them, but without suc
cess.' Books for School Libraries.
Salem So tatisfactory have the re
sults of the traveling library system
proven, from an educational stand
point, tbat the State Libraty commis
sion has elected to place a new order
for 42,000 books for school libraries, in
addition to what is already on hand,
at a total coat to the state of $11,
802.35. AmoLg the most popular of
the books ordered are the life of Robin-
eon OruBoe, Baldwin's Life of Lincoln,
Stories of Great Americans for Little
Americans 50 famous stories, and
Black Beauty.
Italians Crack on Trees.
Oregon City The rain and scarcity
of help have conspired to do extensive
damage to the Clackamas county prune
crop, which promised a good yield with
large returns to the grower. Many
Italians are cracking on tho trees as a
result of the severe rain of tho last few
days, while hundreds of bushels of this
fruit on the ground beneath the trees
are becoming unmarketable and will be
a total loss to the grower because of the
inability to get necessary help.
Very Heavy Sales of Sheep.
Baker City Owing to the unofficial
announcement by government officials
some days ago that next year the rang
ing of sheep on forest reserves would
be restricted at least 50 per cent, sheep
owners have, during the past three
weeks, sold large portions of their
flocks. The pries have been good and
t is estimated by one sheep buyer that
75,000 head have been sold out of Wal-
owa and 05,001) out of flakar.
Larger School Attendance.
La Grande The public schools open
ed with an attendance of 750 and a
corps ol lv teacners, with one teacher
yet to be supplied in the high school.
The first day's attendance was in ad
vance of last year's. A business de
partment has been added to the course
and the high school has the twelfth
grade.

ger train No. 12, northbound, left the
high bridge that Bpans the Cimarron
river, and plunged into me current
flanked by tieacheroiiB quicksands.
The locomotive disappeared from Right
almost Immediately. The malt and
baggage clerks escaped from their
coacheB aud swam to the shore.
The accident was due to the defective
condition of the bridge which was
swerved out of lino by the pressure of
driftwood carried down by tho swollen
stronm. Tho train was an hour into
and was running at high speed to innko
up thno. Tho engineer did not soo tho
condition of the bridge until ho was
within a few ynrds, when it was too
Into to stop. Ho shouted to his tire
man, throw on tho brakes and Jumped.
Ho landed on the very verge of the
river hank and escaped unhurt. The
fireman was loss fortunate, sustaining

When tho engine struck the bridge
the wholo structure suddenly collapsed,
preoipnting tho engine and coaches into
tho water. The chair car and two
heavy Pullmans were not pulled in,
but remained on the track.
The most authentic accounts place
tho number of passengers in the smok

NEW STORM ARISES.
Santo DomlnRO Attain Infocted With
Revolutionary Fever.
Washington. Bent. 10. Just aa the
Cuban Insurrection appears to he on
tho point of harmonious adjustment,
tho United States government IB con
fronted with a new outbreak in Panto
Domingo. Commander Boutherland,
senior American naval ofiicer in Do
mlnlcan waters, reported to the Navy
department by cable iato this alternoon
tbat an insurrection Is about to break
out in Santo Domingo at any time. He
says that tho government has sent
fotco of 400 men to Monte Chrlslo.
The situation is declared to be acuto
Ho fears that' an uprising may take
placo. He requests that the Dixie,
which is now In Cuban waters, be re
turned at onco to Santo Domingo.
When the advisability of withdraw
ing tho naval forces from Dominican
waters was discussed when the crisis
came in tho Cuban revolt, a suggestion
was made that it might givo encourage
ment to tho Insurgents in that island.
It was finally decided, however, that
the Dominican government had matters
well In hand and that no change was to
bo apprehonded with the present fleet
of gunboats in those waters.
FUNSTON TO LEAD.
Will Bo In Command of American
Army In Caso of Intervention,
Washington, Sept. 10. General
Frederick Funston, who Is now on bin
way to Washington under. orders from
the War department, will probably hu
assigned to command tho army in Cu
bn, if intervention should ho found ne
cessary. Whilo orders havo not been
issued for tho movement of troops to
Cuba, the army was never better pre
pared for quick action, if it Is found
necessary to send them to Cuba,
General Funston is probably as well
informed regarding conditions in the
island as any officer of the army. He
mado a good reputation in the Philip
pines, and only a few months ago at
tracted attention by the manner In
which he handled the difficult situa
tion growing out of the employment of
troops in San Francuco after the earth
quako. The fact that he Is under or
derfl to como to Washington and to
await further instructions indicates
that he is wantrtd for .important duty.
