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.

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

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.

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
SCHOOLS SHOW DECREASE.
Fewer Pupils In Many Counties Than
Records Show for I890.
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

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.

GOOD PRICES AT MOSIER.
First Big Apple Deal of Sens in Moves
10,000 Boxos.
Hood River. 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

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.

Reno, Ncv., Oct. 14. Believing
that gambling in Reno is accountable
for the small attendance at the uni

throughout the state will not send
their children to school in a city

Reno, the university authorities have

campaign now being waged in
Reno for the special election to abol

At a student-body meeting Monday
Dr. J. E. Stubbs urged upon all stu
dents of age to be sure and register,
and the registration office has been
deluged with students. It is under
stood that the gambling clement will
challenge these votes. A monster
mass meeting was held here Monday
night, at which addresses were made
to an audience of fully 3,000 people.
The movement has gained an im

locally is greater than any local fac
