URGE ONE BUILDING, Oregon Men Want United Northwest at Jamestown Exposition. Portland, Oot, 10 A movement for a Joint Northwest building at the Jamestown Tercentennial exposition was launched at a recent meeting of tho Oregon Jamestown Exposition commit. toe at tho Portland Oommernlal club, President Jefforson Myers and Secre tary, John II. fllevonsonn, of tho con mission, wore directed to write an ofll. olal letter to the governors of Washing ton, Idaho and Montana, notifying them of the attitudo of tho Oregon commission, and asking them to take action In their ofllcial capacities to tiring about participation In tho plan on uio part oi tlieir reepetivo states. Til plan is concolved by tho On-con commission is for joint action on tho part of tho four Northwestern states in the erection of one magnificent oxhlblts and headquarters structure, in which each stato shall have a department of its on, tuo ox pen ao to bo borno equal ly by the sovoral states. It was point ed out at the commission' eoaaion that such co-oporatlvo action would have tho effect of Impreesing tho East with tho unity of Northwest interests and of exerting both a political and commer cial Inslgiiiflcanco. It also eoemed an parent that with the combined capital of tho four states a building of such imposing size and beauty could bo erected that It could not fall to attract wide attention, whllo a building by any one of tho states, singly, could not hftvo this oiled, and, bosides, joint ac tion could reduce the expense ot put ting up individual buildings. Presldont Myors was authorized to go to tho scone of tho exposition and ne gotiate for a slto for an Oregon build ing, In tho event it is desired to erect ono, and also keep in mind the possi bility of a joint state building. He will dofor his departure for the East until he has bad timo to hear from the governors of the Northwest states on the plan suggested. In the event ihe other states do not show a disposition to adopt tbo plan proposed, this will not bo allowed to Interfere in any do- grco with Oregon's p'an to mako an ex hibit, should the legislature warrant it. Upon his return from the East Pres ident Myors will mako a report to tho commission, and Governor Chamber- ain on tho result uf his investigations, and this report, setting fortli in detail tho coat nf making an exhibit and tho facilities for erecting a building and installing nn exhibit, when delivered, will bo used as the basis for appearing before the legislature to ask such an appropriation as shall bo nccceeary to make a credltablo showing. FARMERS MUST DRAIN. Department of Agriculture Issues Bul letin of Instruction. Washington, Oct. 10. For tho guid ance of the great numberof people from humid rogions who sottlo on the im mense areas of Western lands opened to settlement, tho Department of Agricul ture has issued a report on "Practical Information for Beginners in Irrigation." Thero aro several million acres open for settlement in tbo United States, and irrigation works built by private enterprise and works being constructed by tbo national government will pro vide a wator supply for more than 1,' 000,000 acres of arid lands. The 70 port discusses arid soils and water sup plies generally and describes bow to locate and build farm ditcher, prepare land to receive water, irrigate staple crops and how mncli water to apply. "Experience throughout the arid re gion," the report says, "Is demon strating that the greatest danger to Irri gated lands is lack of drainage. Water applied to crops ralaoa the ground wa tor. which brings with it tho salts (lis solved from the soil; capillarity brings thlB wator to the surface, where it evaporates, and tho salts accumulate until all vegetation is destroyed. Tho only insurance against this Is proper drainage, but anything like economy in tho uao of wator and thorough cultiva tion, which will check tho rise of ground water or lesson evaporation, will decreaeo tho danger." Battllng',Wlth River, Imporlul Junction, Cul., Oct. 10. Seldom has a more desperate battle with nature been waged than that for tho turning of tho Colorado river. Rockwood gate went out last Thursday, and n great diaappointmont whs occa sioned, but the outlook is much bright er. Yofltonlny tho troBtle bolow tho gate was prepared, 100 cars of rock being dumped as an experiment. This morning tho rock was found in tho eamo position, indicating that tho Boll was firm enough to support It. Another trostlo is being built. Big Travol to California. Ran Francisco. Oct. 10.

Silver Advances to 70.13. Washington, Oct, 10. Tho director of the mint yesterday purchased 150, 000 ounces of silver at 70.13 centa per fine ounce, delivered at the mint In Denver. For the convenience of bid ders It has been decided to open blda for the sale of silver on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays of each week, nstMd oi on weaneeuayn oniy, as heretofore; ONE MORE CHANCE Annexation Sure to Follow Noxt Failure ot Cuba. SELF GOVERNMENT IMPOSSIBLE Sugar and Tobacco Men Will Object to, Free Competition, But It Must Come. Washington, Oct, 10. Republican senators and congressmen who have been in Washington recently and ofll cials closolv identified with tbo admin istration agree with the president that Cuba shall have another opportunity to try self government, but tho opinion is almost universal that annexation is only a matter of time. Little is being said publicly about the probability of annexing Cuba to the United States, but tho subject is receiving a great deal of atlontion in Washington and public men aro BerlouBly diccussing the beet method of bringing tho island under tho protecting arm of tho United States. President Roosevolt Ib absolutely, sin- cero in his declaration against tho present annexation of Cuba and bo has hopes that the Cuban people, on tbicr second attempt, will be able to form and maintain a Batiefactory govern ment. Ho does not want the island mado a part of the United States if, by any possibility, the Cubans can con duct their own affairs and protect the lives and property of all their citizens. Ho does not believe that tbo United States at this time would bo justified in taking over the island, morely be cause vast amounts of American capital havo been invested. But if tho words of othor administration officials can bo held to bo authoritative, it is to be in let red that tbo president will intorposo no further objection to annexation in case tbo second Cuban government is a failure. While annexation is generally ex pected, no ono looka forward to it with enthusiasm. Rather, tbo Cuban prob lem is regarded in the light of one oi tho unpleasant outgrowths of the Span ieli war, an perpleing in some icspects as the Philippine question. 8outbern men would like to see Cuba made Amorican territory, but they want the tariff wall kept up against Cuban sugar and tobacco, and some bar erected against tho immigration of native Cu bans into the Unite States. The South haB moro than ita share of duBky citizens. It is probable that the men in con gress who are fighting a reduction of the duty on Philippino eugar and to bacco would join the South in demand ing the retention of the tariff on sugar and tobacco from Cuba in cbbo of an nexation. If Philippino sugar is a menace to tho beet eugar industry of tbo West, it will be argued that the Bugar from Cuba, closer and much moro abundant, would bo a Btill greater menace. STORM SPOILS BANANAS. Hurricane Sweeps Through Central America, Wasting 81,000,000. New Orleans, Oct. 10, Damages of fully $1,000,000, including tbo partial demolition of one town, was dono by the hurricane on the coast of Central America which was reported by a brief wireleBB me;sage received hero last night. WlrelesH and cable advices to day to the United States Fruit company say that probably no loan of life oc curred. Tho hurricane appeared to be central near Bluofields, on the east coast of Nicaragua. It swept in from the sea, its first fury striking Little and.Great Corn iBlandB, which were swept bare of vegetation aud their topography even altered by tho waves. On the mainland the storm's damage was con fined mostly to a path about SO miles wide, in which banana and rubber cropa were doatroyed and plantations blown down. Great damage la report ed from Rama, a town on the coast about 40 miioB from Bluefields. Mrs. Jefferson Davis Dying. New York, Oct. 10. Mrs. Jeffereon Davis, widow of the president of the Confederato states, is dying of pneu monia at tho Hotel MajeBtio here. It Ib believed alio cannot survive more than a fow hours. Mrs. Davis has boen ill for eevoral dava, but it had been believed ahe would recover up to aat night, when a eudden change for tho worao wbb noticed. Mrs, Davie went to the MajeBtio a short timo ago on her return from the Adirondacks, whero she spent moat of tho summer for her health. NEXT POPE NOT A SAINT1. Trial of New York Central. New York, Oct. 10. Tho trial of the New York Oontral Railroad company for tho alleged giving of rebates of eomo $20,000 to tho Amorican Sugar Refining company on sugar shipments to tho West Is tbo first trial for the infraction of the Elklns law ovor un dertaken in thin city. With this action Is inaugurated a sitting of tho Federal Criminal court that may be expected to last with its successive termB for at loaBt a year and probably much longor. Army in Cuba Given Name, Washington, Oot. 10. Brigadier General Barry, acting chief of staff, to day Issued a general order by direction of the president stating that the mili tary force now assembled in Cuba or to be assembled there are constituted an army to be known as the Array of Cuban Pacification, Need of a Palltlclan at the Vatican is Widely Recognized. Rome, Oct. 10. In spite of the fact that the pope is enjoying perfect health, the matter of possible results of the next conclave, whenever It does occur, is being discussed among the cardinals, find this with no desire to anticipate the election or to bo disre spectful to the pontiff. The feeling among tho cardinals has changed great ly dlnco August, 1003, and today there exists a tendoncy quite opposite to that which triumphed three years ago. In view of the Vatican's experiences with Franco, the cry this time will be not for a merely religious popo, but a po litical pope; not for a saint, but for a statesman. Even the strongest opponents of throe years ago of Cardinal Rampolia now favor his election. Rampolia failed in 1003 chiefly because he was vetoed by Cardinal Puzyna, in the nanio of Austria, speaking for the en tire Triple Alliance. Although Pope PIub has suppressed tho right of veto nbroagted by certain powers, the reason which Induced tho Triple Alliance to oppose Cardinal Rampolia still exist, and the church today is less ablo to afford displeasing tho Central Empire. Consequently thero aro rumors ol an experiment with a foreign pope, in spite of the disfavor of the Italians. For the last four cen turies all the popes have been Italians. FOOTPADS HARD AT WORK.

An argument against the reduction in the number of troops in, the Philippines is made by Major General Leonard Wood, com- manding that division, in hie annual report. The total garrision, on June 30 last, numbered 20,043 men. "We are far from home,", eays Gen eral Wood, "and in cee of foreign dis turbances, even with all onr troops concentrated at Manila, the force avail able would be Bcarecly sufficient to de fend it from a serious attack. More over, a atrnng garrison should bo .main tained here nntil conditionnB pertain ing to the civil government are well es tablished and the animosities and dis appointments incident to the building up of a local government under new and perhaps strained conditions have passed away." General Wocd suggests adding some artillery to the present garrison and sending to the Philippines one squad ron of each of the cavarly regiments in the United States. Public order has greatly improved in Milndanao. The rice output there is said to exceed any previous year and the people have cone to work. Aa there ia an largo Mohammedan ilement there, and unexpected disturbances may occur as tho result of action of re ligious fanatics returning from Mecca, the repovt Bays tbo garrison should bo concentrated.

As soon as tbo soil shows any sign of exhaustion they move on, burn another clearing, and repeat the same process. Sir Charles says that the Klkuyu are almost a comparative recent hybrid between the Masai and a Bantu stock, and there Is no reason why such hybrids should not continue to be formed in the future, to the great advantage of the country. It Is estimated that tho natives of the Klkuyu country number some 300,000. Klkuyu is said to be derived from Kuyu, which means a fig. flg trees of various kinds being abundant in the country.

Bht i T Arch of Trajan. Triumphal arches were among the most peculiar forms of art which the Romans borrowed from those around them, and used with that strange mix ture of splendor and bad taste which characterizes all their works. These were in the first instance no doubt borrowed from the Etruscans, as was also tho ceremony of the triumph with which they were ultimately asso ciated. At first they seem rather to have been used as festal entrances to the great public roads, whose construc tion was considered as ono of the most ABCII Or TRAJAN. important benefits a ruler could confer on his country. There was ono erected at Hlmlnl In houor of an important restoration of tho Flamlnlnn Way by Augustus; another at Susa In Pied mont, to commemorate a similar act of tho same Emperor. Trajan built ono on tho pier at Ancona, when ho re stored thnt harbor, and nnother ut Benovcntum, when ho repaired the Via Appla, represented In tho woodcut hero glveu. It is ono of tho best preserved as well as most graceful of Us class lu Italy. The arch of tho Sergli nt Ppla In Istrla seems also to have hnnn nmni. ed for a llko purpose. That of Hadrian at Athens, and another built by him at Antlnoo In Egypt, wero monuments merely commemorative of tbo benefits which he hnd conferred on those cities by tbo architectural works ho had ejected within tholr walls. By far tho most Important application of theso gateways, In Rome at least, was to commemorate a triumph which may have passed along the road over which the arch was erected beforehand, for the triumphal procession to pasa through, of which It would remain a memorial. , PIETY HAS COST HIM $500,000.
