IN GRASP OF STORM FAIR BILL PA88ES. Ice King Reigns In East and Middle Vest. MANY SUFFER FROM SEVERE COLD Fatal Snow Slides In Colorado, B.z- zards In Mlch'gan, and Sleet . Storm In Illinois. Now York, Feb. 6. Largo dlatriota of the Eaet and Middle West are suffer ing from a cold wave of unusual severi ty. Reports from many locluities are to thejeffect that the extreme cold 1b coupled with a fall of snow of sufficient depth to interfere with transportation facilities, while Boveral fatalities havo occurred. A sleet storm in the Middle West haa added to the general discom fort. tl - f 11 . I II IB .ah oi me cnantaoie institutions nre over crowded and many homeless men to keep from freezing, have been forced to huddle around fires in the open streets. The whole state is in an ioy grip, the mercury falling to a record of 45 degrees below in the vioinity of Balls ton. Other fatalities are freported from Colorado, where numerous snow slides have occurred in the mining districts. Weather conditions throughout New England are the worst of the present winter, ine cold snap is general in that section, although no fatalities have as yet been recorded. Noithfleld, Vt.f reports the coldest wether in New Eng land, with the mercury registering 34 degrees below zero. The lake region is also feeling Jthe cold. Michigan is in the grasp of a se vere blizzard, in which zero weather is combined with a blinding Btorm. Railway traffic is completely paralyzed in many parts of Michigan and the storm shows no sign of abatement. Chicago last night experiened one of the worst sleet storms in years. There was much suffering from the ioy blasts and traffic on the electric lines was al most completely demoralized, although steam trains were operated. In Centra and Eastern Pennsylvania snow foil to a depth of more than a foot. It was extremely cold throughout the mountainous regions, the mercury dropping as low as 15 degrees below ze ro, bervice of both steam and electric lines waB crippled and there was con eiderabJe Buffering. 8enate Stands by Seattle With Almost Unanimous Vote. Washington, Fob. 7. Tho Seattle exposition bill wont through tho Bonn to yestorday by a practically unanimous vote. Burkott, who threatened to do all manner of tilings to defeat it, tnado a vloious attack and thundered loudly lor bait an hour, when ho concluded, several eenators spoke in behalf of tho bill, and, when Files moved its pas sage, barely a voice save that of Bur kott was heard in opposition. Burkett's antagonism really strength ened the bill, for ho is generally dis liked in tho (onate, and his onslaught created sympathy for Files, .who was pressing tne bill. Tho house committoo will now lake up and report the senate bill, inptead of that introduced by Congressman Humphrey. T.. 11 n . . in duo discussion Deioro tho vote was taken, Burkott opposed tho bill, as ho saut ho had opposed every other bill lor that purposo since ho had been in congress. Ho Eaid tho moDosition to hold tho expos! tiondid notoriginato in AiasKa. "It has been put forward," he said, by a lot of boomers of Seattle, who purpose to boom their real estate and their private interests." Btukett read a list of expositions in the united States showing that $20. 960,727 had been expended by congress in am oi mem. Tillman supported tho idea of expo sicions, saying tho Charleston exposi tion had brought many people from the JNorth to he "civilized there." Carter believed tho idea of eauitv ....... . should influence congress inappronrmt ing for an exposition in tho Far West, as so little had been done in aid of that section. OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST Task HOLDS WHEAT RECORD. MAY ADJUST RATES. PUBLIC PRINTER REMOVED. Is In Accused of Many Irregularities Government Office. Washington, Feb. 6. Just as the president's action in suspending Public Printer btlliings and appointing Wil liam S. Bossiter to perform bis duties was being announced today, a commit tee of labor leaders of this city, accom panied by Representative Gary, of Wis consin, called at the White House and presented to the president a resolution adopted by the Central Labor union here, charging Mr. Stillings with vio Jations of the eight-hour law ln r the -government printing office, and added: "It is difficult at this time to get witnesses against Mr. btillings, for the reason that manv of them are employed in the government printing office and directly under his charge. We hope, however, to follow up our oral state ment with affidavits, if necessary." The president informed the commit tee of the action he bad already taken in the case. resolutions oy numerous labor or anizations in various cities charging violation in the government piinting oihce oi the eight-hour day, discrimina ton against veteran soldiers and the widows of soldiers and violation of the civil service law havo been submitted to congress and tho president. mr. btiungs is irom .Boston and was appointed public printer in 1905. He bad been general manager of his fath er's printing firm in New York and at various times manager of the Printers' Board of Trade of that city and of New York.

Northwestern Mill Interests Confer With Railroad Presidents. Seattle, Wash., Feb. 7. As tho re suic oi a conierenco held this morning, between President Louis W. Hill, of tho Great Northern, and President Howard Elliott, of tho Northern Pa cific.on the one side, and President Jacob Fourth, of the Puget Sound Na tional bank and Frederick Bausman, representing the commercial bodies of the Pacific Northwest, hope Is express ed that the controversy between the lumber interests and the railroads con cerning the rate question may be ami cably settled. Nothing definite result ed from the conference, but there is to be another one within a day or so. At the close of the conference Mr. Furth made the following statement air. nin ana Mr. .Elliott, at our invitation met Mr. Bausman and my- seit this morning to discuss the oossi billty of bringing about a settlement of the rate controversy between the lum ber and shingle men of the Pacific Northwest and the railroads. Both the railrcad officials appeared to be willing to receive proposals from u$, acting for the commercial organizations of the cities of the Northwest." Condon Is Largest Primary Distribut ing Point in Country. Condon Tho latest estimate .of tho amount of grain already shipped and that remaining to bo shipped from Con don ia 1,300,000 bushols. According to this Bhowlng, Condon is tho largest primary grain shipping point in -tho United States and, as for na can bo learned, in tho entiro world. Tho point which haa herotofore claimed tho honor of being tho largest primary grain shipping point in tho world Ritzville, Wash., its supremacy being claimd on the basis of shipping 1,250, 000 bushols. From figures obtained from tho best authorities on the subject 1,100,000 bushels of wheat and barley have al ready been recoived by tho warehouses and mill bore. And to this must be addod tho largo amount that is yet scat tered over the country waiting to be haulod to town before spring. It safe to say that thero remains in Con don's territory 200,000 bushels yet to bo brought in, making a grand total of 1,300,000 bushels to bo shipped from Condon alone. No less remarkable is tho estimated output of grain in every section of Gil liam county, the total of tho estimates of the different stations exceeding tiio mount to be shipped from Condon. It must also bo taken into consideration that many thousands of bushels of grain harvested along the borders of tho coun ty are shipped from nearby railroad points in the adjoining counties. Tho total of the number of bushels shipped from these points added to the amounts shipped from different stations in Gil liam ccunty places the enormous out put of Gilliam county at 2,750,000. is Josephine Coalmen Organize. Grants Pass The Southern Oregon Angora Goat Breeders' association has been organized with C. E. Harmon, president and Charles Meservo, secre tary. The association will have a reg ular meeting In March. The raising of goats has become one of the promi nent industries of Southern Oregon. Aa well as being profitable for the wool. they are looked upon as a valuable ad junct in clearing new land, in keeping down the undergrowth. It is calcu lated that there are about 5,000 or 6,- 000 of the animals scattered among the ranches in this district, some of which are imported stock. OREGON GIVhN PROMINENCE .Inlnt DaaaanirAi.

WANT CHEAPER GRAIN SACKS URGES HALL'S ACQUITTAL. Webster Makes Earnest Argument for His Client. Portland, Feb. 7. Ably and with in tense earnestness Judge Lionel R. Web ster yesterday advocated the cause of John R. Hall, ex-United StateB attor ney, before a jury in the United States court. Counsel was unable to con clude before eourt adjourned at 5 o'clock and will resume this morning at 10 o'clock. Although his argument was confined to a review of the testi mony almost exclusively, Judge Web ster pleaded loyally and eloquently in behalf of the man who for years had been his faithful and intimate personal and political friend. Judge Webster prefaced his addresB with a brief discussion of the responsi ble duty of a juror together with a defi nition of the charge of conspiracy on which Hall is being tried. At the out set of his remarks, counsel for the de fendant took issue with Mr. Heney, who, in his opening argument Wednes- 1 . 1 J I 1 1 - m uay, asserted mac tne laiiure ;oi proee cuting officials to discharge their duty and to enforce the Jaws was rotting and decaying the very foundations of a re publican form of government. Grain Sacks at Reduced Figures Pendleton Umatilla county farmers will share in the purchase of 1,000,000 wheat sacks made by the Farmers' Co operative union at Walla Walla. Over 200 farmers were present at a mass meeting at which contracts for the pur chase of 1,000,000 sacks from the J. Z. Smith company and the Kerr-Gifford company of Portland at a uniform price of 7?bO, was made. Ah the same quality of sacks sold last year at from 10 to 11c each, the farmers have made a great saving in purchases for this j ear by asking for bids. State Wants Sidetrack. Salem The state board has asked the Railroad commission to investigate the question of the need of a sidetrack on the Southern Pacific at the Bite of the proposed home for the feeble mind ed, just south of this city. Tiie rail road company refused tho state's re quest for a sidetrack. The state board wants the sidetrack established as an aid Irr transporting material for the new building, which will be started soon. Growers at Athena Working Through Association. Athena C. A. Barrett, presidont of the Inland Graingrowers' association, says that the principal object of the or ganizatlon at present is to reduce the price of sacks. Tho association declares that tho prices the dealers ask for sncks are unreasonable. Thoy say that they made a good, substantial saving last year Dy means oi tho association, ami that they will bo able to inako a fur greater saving this year. Mr. Barrett estimates that the farmers of this county will be ablo this year to savo $40,000. The Inland Gruingrnwers' association is a corporation and buys ltB own sacks direct thus making a great deal better bargain than tho dealer can make. Another purpose of the association is to force the O. R. & N. and Northern Pacific railway companies to arrange to shift cars from one lino to tho other without removing tho goods from ono car to another. Another objoct tho association has in view is to reduco freight rates on largo grain shipments NO TARIFF REVISION. Will Bo Taken Up Next Winter House Leaders oay. Washington, Feb.
