TTTVTTTTTVTTTTTTT.'I'TtI LESS TVim REWT Dynamite and Powder Stolen From Southern Pacific Company at Sis son' Thought to Have Ileen Used Ily Italians. A report has reached Ashland that the residence of the superintendent of the Weed Lumber Company, at Weed, Cal., was blown up Saturday night. Some little time ago 50 sticks of dynamite and several kegs of powder were stolen from the Southern- Pa ciCic Railway Company at Sisson, the second station uouth of Weed, and it is supposed that this is the explosive used at Weed. According to the reports reaching here, two men were wounded by the explosion and one of the parties who placed the explosive was. shot in the breast and captured. The theory of the officers Is that some Italians, former employes of the Weed Lumber Company, had a trudge against the superintendent and committed tho outrage. It is a'.so reported that the man wounded and captured is an Italian and his arrest may lead to the capture of the others. Big Contract to American Firm. Consul Gunsaulus, Johannesburg, Africa: One of the largest and most important electric contracts recently awarded in connection with the Wit watersrand gold mining industry is that just received by the General Electric Company of New York, through its subsidiary company, the South African General Electric Com pany, of this city, for supplying to the crown mines (Ltd.) the largest electric mine hoist in the world, and in fact, of any kind whatever which has ever been ordered. The hoist, which is to be supplied by the Schenectady shops of the General' Electric Company, will raise 16,000 pounds of ore per trip in a vertical shaft, 3.540 feet deep at a speed of 3,500 feet per minute. The weight of the empty ore bucket (or skip) is 8,700 pounds. The rope is two inches in diameter, weighing 6.4 pounds per foot. .The hoist will consist of two cylin-dro-conical drums, of which the smaller diameters are twelve feet and the larger (cylindral diameters) twenty feet and eight inches. The speed of the drums will be 53.5 revo lutions per minute. To either end of the drum shaft there are connect ed two direct-current, separately ex cited electric motors, designed for .500 volts, and each capableof giv ing continuously an output of 2,000 horsepower at 54.5 revolutions per minute. The dimensions of the hoist mo tor armatures . are so great as to make their transportation over the South African railways impossible, and it will therefore be necessary to assemble and wind them on the spot. It is understood that the con tract price for this electric hoist is approximately $125,000. Roseburg, May 3. A veterinary official of Oregon has a legal right to examine stock shipped into this state from another state, but he can-jt not compel the owner of such stock to pay him for his services. This, in effect, was the ruling of Judge Ham ilton in the circuit court in granting the petition for an Injunction to en force a quarantine order involving 65 head oX mules received here two days ago from California by Willett & Burr, a railway contracting firm of Myrtle Point, Coos Tcounty, to which place the mules were destined. The quarantine order was issued ! by Dr. R. E. Hunt, deputy state vet erinarian, of this city, upon orders telegraphed by his chief, J. F. Morel, who arrived in Roseburg this morn ing from Salem. Dr. Hunt partly examined the mules when they ar rived here and presented a bill for $75 for his services $1 a head for each test and $10 for medicine used. This claim brought on a dispute be tween Hunt and Walter Condon, rep resenting the owners of the mules, and the result was that Condon flat ly refused to pay the bill or allow the doctor to complete the examina tion. The order of quarantine re sulted. It was expected this after noon that Morel would follow up the matter by compelling the owner of the mules to keep them here until the examination could be finished. In their petition for an Injunction Willett & Burr declared the mules were sound and introduced evidence to support this contention. It was further alleged that Dr. Hunt's sole object in issuing the quarantine or der was to force payment of his bill. Dr. Hunt's partner, who assisted in i the examination of the mules, de clared that three or four of the ani mals were afflicted with an infec tious disease and that the others had undoubtedly been exposed. "The fact is plain to me," said Judge Hamilton, "that the custodian of the mules did not object to the examination of the animals, but he did object to paying the claim of Dr. Hunt, who, I believe, acted in good faith and was probably entitled to some compensation for his ser v'ces. Fees are a statutory matter, however, and there is no statute pTo- viding that a veterinary official has'ii a right to charge for making exami nation, pf stock in an official capac ity. The official has a right to de tain the mules for examination if they come from another state with out certification as to their sound ness, and in this case had the exami nation been completed in reasonable time the mules would now be out of the city instead of being kept here. together with tenders, at heavy ex pense." $300 down and 84 cents a day Including Interest and Principal.

PRICE $1.25 i ' ' Simpson's Hardware Store IN NO DANGER OF WAR Andrew Carnegie Pooh-poohs Idcu That Foreign Nation May War With the United States. St. Louis, Mo., May 1. In an ad dress punctuated with satirical com ment upon the life of ease and tran quility enjoyed by the United States army and navy and ridicule for those sponsors for militarism who see the danger of war in every international controversy, Andrew Carnegie today opened the fourth American Peace Congress in this city. The grizzled ironmaster appeared in his favorite role of America's foremost exponent of world peace and reformed spell ing, as represented by what he had to say and the way the words lie spoke were printed in the copies of his speech prepared for the guidance of the newsjjUper representatives. He paid his respects to the army and navy by declaring that those vo cations involved the least risk of any a man can enter. He pooh-poohed the idea that any of the powers had the slightest desire to go to war with the United States, and declared that there never would be occasion for war if this country simply will treat all nations with justice and friendli ness. Carnegie derided the possibil ity of there ever being war between the United States an,d Great Britain or France, giving his reasons in each case. As for the possibile invasion of this country by a great foe, the ironmaster had other comment. "There is no armed nation or com bination of nations so foolish as to dream of Invasion," he declared. "Their Bhips might try to do some mischief, firing many miles away from the coast, but no power in the world could or would attempt to land or march inland. If any did, the number left to answer the rollcall and return would be small Indeed. British authorities consider it must be possible for an enemy to land as many as 170,000 men upon their island in three weeks. We could cope with seven times that number." i 1 - b'd f r THE EMINENT TRAGEDIAN Star Theatre, Thursday, May 8th PRICES 10 AND 20 CENTS RICHARD III This theatre presents for your consideration Mr. Frederick Warde, one of the most eminent actors of the American stage, in a superb five-act (5,000 feet) production of Shakespeare's im mortal Richard III. This is an engagement of an extraordinary character, and the people of this community are to be congratulated in having in 1 .. . . ...1. I 1. . i . . , ,i -M- tneir miasi a company which, ior uie sane or saiisiyying-picture patrons, will assume the risk involved in bringing to this city , a production so artistic and yet, at the same time, costing such a tremendous amount of extra money to secure. No man in America occupies a higher position as an interpreter of classic Shakespearean roles than does Frederick Warde. ' His name is a household word in every city in this land, and he Is deservedly well beloved for the possession of the highest and no blest character not only as an actor but as a man, having always done the things which elevate and ennoble the profession of the drama. His own company has been formed, and in th cast, which is a very lengthy one, there will also be noticed the names, of some of the greatest actors in this country; In costuming, tn general effect, in the number of extra people employed, this great produc tion has never been surpassed. The only picture of receut time which comes near the standard of Richard III is Cleopatra, which this company and this thoatre also had the honor of presenting, and Richard III is equal, if not superior, to Cleopatra. . . . ... tilt .
