FIRES CLAIM VICTIMS Flutes Devour Michigan Train Lremating Fifteen. WILD EXPERIENCE OF SURVIVORS Death Comos to Women and Child ren Before They Can Escape From Derailed Train. Alpena, Mich., Oct. 17. Fifteen peo ple lost their lives Thursday night in the burning of the Detroit & Mackinaw rail way relief train, which was carrying the inhabitants of the little village of Mctz, 23 miles north of here, to safety from the forest fires which were sweeping away their homes. The ill-fated train was ditched by spreading rails at No wicki siding, a few miles south of Mctz, and the terrified refugees wcr forced to abandon the cars and rush for safety cither down the track with burning for ests on cither side, or into the plowed fields near the siding. Eleven of the victims were women and children, who were unable to cstapc quickly enough from the gondola car which they were occupying. Their charred bodies were found there yester day, when rescuers reached the scene. Two of the men victims were members of the train crew. Four additional fatalities occurred in the neighborhood of the wreck. When the forest fires closed in about the little village, a special train of three empty box cars and two coal gondolas was rushed to Mctz. As rapidly as pos sible the people and their goods were loaded into the cars. Some refused to abandon their goods, or the train might have left earlier, and have reached Al pena in safety. When the train finally started there were about 100 frightened people aboard. The suvivors of the frightful experi ence seemed dazed from the perilous surroundings. They seemed to think of nothing but the necessity of running to escape the menacing flames. It was dif ficult to get any coherent statement from them as to loss of life in the wreck or as to whether any people had been left behind in Mctz. ABANDONS COFFEE CORNER. Brazil Will Borrow S75.000.000 to Save Big Losses. New York, Oct. 17. After having sustained a loss of Sl.000,000, Brazil has abandoned its attempt to corner the world s coffee market. For two years the government of Sao Paulo, the chief state of Brazil, has been purchasing cof fee from its planters to keep up the price, now having on its hands 8,000,000 bags of coffee. According to advices received yesterday in New York, a loan of $75,000,000, which is necessary to take care of the present huge accumula tion, is soon to be offered for public subscription. The corner is regarded as one of the most interesting, but foolhardy financial experiments, ever attempted. Bumper crops have followed one another, and in 1905 the harvest returned 20,000,000 bags, a surplus over the entire world's requirements of 2,000,000 bags. Then the scheme of cornering the mar ket was planned. In two years Sao Paulo had purchased from planters 8,- 000,000 bags, at an average cost ot $10 a bag, which was more than double the market price. Money thus spent was borrowed in the United States at high interest. Now the various loans are to be consolidated into one of $75,000,000. SMUGGLING IN CHINESE. PLANS DRASTIC ACTION. Castro Will Shoot Every Revolutionist as Traitor. Caracas, Venezuela, Oct. 10. That the members of any revolutionary move ment initiated during the prospective blockade of the Venezuelan ports will be immediately shot as traitors to the country, if captured, is reported to be the present determination of President Castro. This is his answer to the ru mors and newspaper reports circulated to the effect that under the cover of Dutch guns a revolutionary movement js about to be undertaken to overthrow the Castro government. The one topic of conversation in Car acas today is the coming answer to Hol land's second note, which has been re ported to have set November 1 as the date for the annulment of Castro's trans-shipment decree, which has been so obnoxious to the people' of Curacao. Venezuela's answer is being prepared with great care. It is believed that in it will be set forth the reason why the Dutch demand cannot and will not be accepted or acceded to. The danger to Venezuela today is not in the strength of Holland's cause, be cause it is conceded that the Netherlands government has no casus belli. On the contrary, Holland, it is asserted, has the weakest case of any of those nations now at outs with President Castro, but there are several nations, especially the United Mates and i" ranee, it is said, who, would be glad to see Holland pull their chestnuts out of the fire, and these countries would probably stand by Hoi land. V GO BACK T.O 1872. Organized Gant; at Work on British Columbia Border. Seattle. Oct 17. What is believed by government officials to be a new gang of men engaged in smuggling Chinamen into the United States from British Co lumbia is now operating on such an ex tensive scale that immigration officials "The cases are coming so fast that it is keeping this office on the jump," said United States District Attorney Elmer E. Todd yesterday morning, "it iooks as if there was a well-organized and well-disciplined gang of Chinese smug glers at work, such a gang that we be lieved had been entirely broken up." Men who smuggle Chinamon into the country often receive $500 for each man. Nine Towns in Danger. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., Oct. 17. Forest fires last night were burning around nine small towns in Chippewa county. West Neebiah was saved yes terday only by a shift of the wind. The lighthouse crew at Point Iroquois has asked for help, and the tug Aspen has gone to its relief. It is reported that settlers along the shore of Lake Superior are camping on the beach. Vast tracts of hardwood have been burned. As yet there is no indication of the heavy ram needed to relieve the situation. So far no fatalities have been reported in this section. Safe Found Amid Ruins. San Francisco, Oct. 15. A sae be longing to the Rcis Estate company, which before the fire of Ap"! 18 1000, occupied offices on the seventh floor of the Fair building on Mont gomery street near Pine, was found yesterday by Workmen engaged in excavating among the ruins of that structure. The safe contains deedfl insurance papers and other documents all being badly charred, but other wise intact. Two Towns Wiped Out. Marinette. Wis., Oct. 17. Forest fires are once more raging in Marinette, coun ty, and last night serious destruction re sulted, The town of Pound was wiped out. and the little town of Packard was destroyed. Government Reveals Past Record of Gunpowder Trust. New York, Oct 16. Further tcsti mony, through which it was sought to establish the existence of an illegal com bination of gunpowder manufacturers was introduced yesterday at a hearing before Special United States Commis sioner Maheffcly in the suit instituted by the federal department of justice against the so-called powder trust. This action, directed against the E. I. Du pont Nemours Powder company, and 71 other defendants, charges them with securing control of practically all the powder mills of the country and con ducting them as one great concern in defiance of the Sherman anti-trust law. The greater part of the time at yes tcrday's hearing was taken up in placing on the record the "compendium of rules and the fundamental agreement which governed the old Gunpowder Trade association. These documents were produced by Alexis I. Dupont, sec retary of the Dupont company. By the presentation of these docu ments the government is endeavoring to establish the existence of a combina tion of powder manufacturers from 1872 to 1902, known as the Gunpowder Trade association. Attorneys for the Dupont Powder company made no objections to the ad mission of this line of testimony, because of their claims that such association or trade agreements ceased to cxistwith the year 1902, when the present Dupont company was organized and purchased the powder mills now owned by the company. RAISES NEW ROW. Japan Insists on Right to Chase Al leged Bandits in China. Tokio, Oct. 16. A new and serious complication in the relations between Japan and China was revealed here yes terday when it was announced that the Chinese government would be called upon for an explanation of its refusal to allow Japanese detachments to pur sue Chinese marauders across the Man churian line into China. The action of China in refusing to permit the presence of armed Japanese soldiers within her borders is con strued as an attitude similar to that taken by China during the Tatsu Maru imbroclio. After awaiting an explanation for a sufficient length of time, the mikado's government will issue orders directing the Japanese garrisons to ignore the Chinese boundary in their pursuit of brigands. Several skirmishes, as a result of China s stand, have resulted, and it will require delicate diplomacy to settle the matter. Delay Worries Japan. Tokio, Oct. 10. The unexpected de lay in the arrival of the American At laritic fleet, which has encountered thick and stormy weather off the shore of the southern islands of Japan, where navi gation at any time is somewhat danger ous, has caused much disappointment in Yokohama and Tokio, owing to the en forced postponement of the elaborate reception planned for the Americans. Some parts of the program, which pro vided some form of entertainment for nearly every hour, will have to be aban doned entirely. Heavy Travel to Coast. rw -id.

Salem Though the school population of th state has increased nearly 30, 000 in the past ten years, thero aro a few counties in the state that bIiow an actual losa in number of children dur ing that period. Linn county, for ex ample, has dropped from a school pop ulation of 7,209 in 1898, to 6,668 in 1908. Curry county shows a decreaso from 744 to 626 in the samo time. Tillamook had 1,695 children of school ago In 1898, but reports only 1,693 in 1908. Douglas county has remained almost stationary in school population. A number of counties show but a comparatively small increase. Sher man and Gilliam counties report a de crease, but this is due to the fact that Wheeler county has been formed out of portions of those counties in the last ten years. Nearly half of tho to tal increase in school population is due to the increase in Multnomah county. Oregon Fir for Panama Canal. Portland Half a million feet of Oregon fir lumber is needed by the Isthmian canal commission for use in Panama canal work and local lumber men have been asked to bid on the pro posals. Bids must be in by November 2. The lumber needed is 50,000 feet 2x3Jtnches, 12 to 28 feet long; 100,000 feet 2x4 inches, 2 to 28 feet long; 150,000 feet 2x6 inches, 12 to 32 feet long; 50,000 feet 3x14 inches, 12 to 32 feet long"; all to be surfaced one side, one edge. In the rough lumber the commission wants 50,000 feet 4x6 inches, 12 to 32 feet long, and 100,000 feet 8x16 incl.es, 12 to 32 feet long. Specifications for the lumber have been received by the chamber of commerce and copies can be obtained there. Douglas' Fine Apples. Roscburg. James B. Smith, of Winstons. residing on the Umnnua river, five miles south of this city, sold his enormous crop of apples for $2,400 an acre in the orchard, a rate of S2 per box. This is believed to be the highest price paid for apples any where, lucre arc several more or chards in this county that ha.ve rec ord-breaking crops this year, and when marketed will bring almost as high a price as this orchard. Doug las county is not only growing fa mous for its apples and strawberries, but for Us crops ot peaches, prunes and pears. The lands remain as cheap as those of other sections of the state, some of the best river-bottom lands on the market being held at $250 to $600 per acre, in bearing fruit. Scarcity of Sheep. Klamath Falls. Lake county has only a third as many sheep within its borders this year as it usually has. Dave Elder, who owns a fourth of all the sheep in the county, passed through Klamath Falls this week from his feeding grounds in tne Weyerhaeuser timber west of here, and states that there arc only about 100 000 sheep in Lake county. None are selling and nearly all will be held until next season for higher prices. Wool is being" held for 15 cents, while 11 cents is being offered. The new arrangement of leasing timber land for grazing purposes is proving satis factory, although it is more expen sive. Wolf Creek Soil Productive. Wolf Creek. The red soil here, equal to the red soils of Mexico, is peculiarly adapted to the production of tokay grapes and Spitzcnberg apples, though all kinds of grasses, cereals, berries, fruits and vegetables arc successfully grown. The pro moter of the colony is gathering in fnrmntlnri -inl will pxneriment with a view to growing some non-perishable proauci in large quantities uciwtoi the trees while they grow to bearing. It !o lxlIvH that Urn a beans will be successful. This would make "Ore gon s Ideal Colony independent ot local markets. Cherries will be ex tensively grown, as they mature to perfection. Growers Holding Hops. Salem. Some movement in hops has been noticeable in Salem during the week though growers still seem -i..mt tn spll nf lli I- nrcvailinor prices. Kola Neis bought 500 bales, paying It cents lor mem. ne tya he is having difficulty in filling, orders because growers are not anxious to sell. For the very best grades a slightly higher price is being paid in .I.. 5nlf.ni mnrtfPt than 7l cents. It is estimated that less than one-quarter of the crop is on the market, the remainder being in the hands of the dealers through contracts and other prior purchases.

The Mosier Fruit growers' association pulled off their first b e annlc deal of the season last week by disposing of 10,000 boxes of apples to the Davidson Fruit com pany of this city. The varieties sold were Spitzcnbcrgs, Baldwins and R.cd Checks and constitute about half the crop grown at Mosier, all of which will be handled this year by the asso ciation. The price paid for the apples is said to be fully as high as that re ceived for the apples sold this year at Hood River, and buyers who have ex amined the Mosier crop say that it is the finest on the average on the coast. The Mosier crop this year will n.nr.ii.i tn i limit m nnn Imxcs of first- grade fruit, a large part of that un sold being Yellow isewtowns. 11 is claimed that Mosier growers receive tli liiirlmct nviirncrr nrice for tllCI Nnwtnwns Inst vear of ailV fruit growing district in the Northwest. 5n.ri.rri1 nflVra hnvf llPPIl made for them this year" at a good figure, but .1. 1 ! . 1. -1 .1 f - - tlmt wicy arc uviiik iiciu iui i jmi.c has been agreed on by the directors of the association. ir the the to IU UI1IIIHXV lilt !- ---- - ganization soon to be started is the College uiee ciuo.

Bulgaria is Now Conter of Action In Balkans. Paris, Oct. 14. Advices received here from French official sources in dicate that the danger point in the Halkans has shifted back to Bulgaria. While there is no confirmation of the renort that Bulgaria has delivered an ultimatum to Turkey regarding the recognition of her independence in side of three days, there is reason to believe that Bulgaria is determined to make a move if Turkey and the pow ers nersist in their refusal to accept her independence as air accomplished fact. The danger of a declaration of war from Servia is considered over for the present. The French government has decided to leave Scrvia's demand for compensation from Austria-Hungary to the consideration of the powers. M. Stanchioff, the diplomatic agent of Bulgaria in Paris, declared yester day that the situation in Bulgaria was grave and tense. "A rapid solution is necessary," he said. The agent said, however, lie did not belieye an ultimatum had been sent to Turkey. The Turkish ambassador here, Nasum Pasha, admits that Turkey is taking defensive military measures, but he repeats that Turkey desires peare. WAR ON QAMBLINQ.
