OUTSIDE All Union Miners Are Barted." RUNERS SENT AWAY That Was True at Scranton, But Thousands v Are Taken Elsewhere 8CRANTON, Pa., Oct. 2.-Locked , cntes and sign which read, "No union - man wanted." greeted 260 strikers who applied for work at the People's Coal Company colliery this morning. These men had 'formerly been employed there and the feeling is very bitter toward Man ager Crawford, who is the author of the statement. Seme of these miners' din ner palls were filled with the last morsels of food to be found In their homes and they have wives and little ones, who will go susperlesa to bed tonight unless aid Is given them from another source. The disappointment was -great and the men returned to their homes cursing their former employers. REFUSED ADMISSION. TAMAQ.UA, Pa., Oct 23. When the striking miners reported for work, in the Panther Creek VsiJey this morning they were met tjy armed deputies who warned thnas away from the works. When the men asked why this course was being pursued they were told by the operators that the latter did not propose to let Mitchell dictate when they should open their" mines. They anticipated, they said, petty strikes and troubles later on and did not Intend to recognise that Mitchell had power over them. "When we are ready to open our mines men will be hired, and not until then," is the state ment tbey make. The greatest Indignation followed this announcement and the men will seek work In another locality. PLENTY OF WORK. " hundred and fifteen thousand" men re ported for work this morning, and much the larger percentage received Immediate employment. Some of the managers took only such men as could be used today, as many of the shafts are not yet ready for the resumption of active mining. The loss occasioned by the cessation of labor has been great and in many places a full week will be required to, repair damages. One thing that is apparent Is causing the hearts of the miners to rejoice. There Is more work than there are men to do It. This condition Is not literally true today, but it will be by the beginning of the coming week. Miners who left the dis trict early in the -strike are reported to be coming back in large numbers and will readily obtain employment. The only men not sure of work are the engineers and firemen, but these are be ing offered other -employment for- the present and there is small danger of want. When vacancies occur they will be filled from among the old men. The present outlook is that within two weeks conditions will adjust themselves and there will be no idle men. PREPARATION WORK. WILKESBARRE Pa , Oct. 23.-The day before the official resumption of wo'rlt in the coal fields was filled to the brim wltn preparation for the bringing up of coaL Despite the fact that thousands of men reported for work -tinder thw special dis pensation granted to those who were needed to prepare the mines and coal roads for active mining, some of the mines at an early hour this morning were still unfit to be worked. In these only those who could be used to advan tage were sent, but places were found for many more In order that- the starving might be fed and those who were In ac tual need cared for. Those In charge ol the work In many sections are showing their generosity along this line and It is being warmly appreciated by the strik ers. CHICAGO TAKES HAND. CHICAGO. Oct. 23.

"There are approximately 6.000,- 000 acres of arid land In Oregon, worth, say, SO cents an' acre, or a total of $2,500,000. "If this land wers Irrigated, It would be worth at least $20 an acre, or a total of f 100,000,000. "The question of Irrigation Is by far the most Important question In Oregon today. It Is a matter, an Issue which Is greater than, any man, greater than any party. It is a movement that can add tens of millions of dollars to the assessable property values of this state, and 1 tell you that Greater. Portland will follow In the wake of a de velopment of the country tributary to it, and will come In no other way." This uncompromising declaration was made to a Journal representative by Con gressman J. H. Williamson this morning, Mr. Williamson Is In the city partly on business connected with the State Irri gation Association, before a meeting of which he Is to deliver an address October 18. "There are many people," said Mr. Wil liamson, "who have not realized the mag nitude of this subject, and there are. moreover, many powerful interests which are more or less openly arrayed against It. To convey 'my meaning more clearly: Matiy private Irrigation companies have applied to the Interior Department, to take up arid land under the Carey law Thesft companies obtain the land at a nominal price, and propose, after bringing water on It to sell it to settlers at a figure which may be cheap for Jhe land, but which will return an enormous profit, nevertheless. These corporations are naturally opposed to the Government un dertaking the work of reclaiming the arid lands for the benefit of the Nation, toward which end the Irrigation Association will bend all lis energies. NO VESTED RIGHTS. "Under the Carey law, applications have been filed for some 600,000 acres of Oregon lands. The Government has not so far granted a single one of these ap plications, so there are no vested rights which can be Interfered with, many re cent interviews to the contrary. The ap plications may never be granted, but the association will proceed to investigate everything pertaining to irrigation In Ore gon and Its status under the Carey .law, with a view of finding out Just where we are on the whole subject. "There should be no opposition to this Irrigation movement. There can be no successful opposition, and It comes with poor grace for any man to attempt to hinder it when It Is considered that upon the principle of Irrigation depends Very largely the future development of this state. ONE PLAIN EXAMPLE. "Near my home I- know a man who bought. 80 acres of . land for 1125. , It was arid then and worthless; today it pro duces" J3000' Wdrth "of hralfa annuallyr Multiply It by the millions of acres In Eastern Oregon which can feasibly be brought under Irrigation and yeu have what can be made out of the state. Wa ter Is the key to wealth, the government is willing to bring th&jwater, and a man who for private gain will stand in the way of a movement of this colossal Im portance is an eenmy of the stats and nothing else. . . . What this state and city must espe cially guard against is the danger ef be coming' a community of middlemen as opposed to producers. We cannot become a great manufacturing state or jobbing center unless we are first surrounded by tbe primal productive Industries. Irri gation will bring settlers for the south and 'east of Oregon. The settlers will bring agriculture, stock raising and tlyitJ oiiu, o.iuui ntfe anu liiaepeiroerrt prosper ity that only agricultural communities possess." UNFOUNDED STORY. WASHINGTON.

Tuesday morning she left her home at Mansfield for, the South Mount Tabor School and ' never returned. The road leads along the edge of the thick Woods and a several points paths lead through tbe timber, making short cuts. ."" ' ' f ' The last cut-off Is through a flat which Is partially cleared a short distance from the school house, August and Fred Bldenstlen, two school boys of Tabosco. on their way to the Catholic School at Montavllla. noticed the girl walking through this wood to the school at 8:40 a. m. Jake Fon tell a. another boy, saw the girl pass his home a few moments before the Bldenstlen boys came along. The girl did not show up at school that day,-- although when last seen she- was within a block of the building, going in that direction. A rumor is current that a couple of boys who reside at Montavllla claim that they saw the girl In a side road going from the school, shortly after 9 o'clock. Another ' story Is that a boy named Percy Snyderj claims to have seen the girl at 4:30 In the afternoon on the way from school. STORT AT HER HOME. ' When the home was visited this morn ing. It was found that Victor Coltena, the father, was out searching for the girl and the mother was In Portland to enlist the services of some friends In the search. An elder sister "gave out the in formation that Viola had left for school on ;TueiaSr'niornInr. h? was vtnWle best of Bplrlts and had ho trouble of any kind. The father had been employed in a brick yard all season. There had been no previous marriage of either of .the parents, which would give grounds for abduction of the child. When she left home she was clothed In a blue dress which reached t;vthe lnees, wore a red Tarn O'Shanter cap, carried an open wicker lunch basket, and had a small umbrella with a. blue handle. The girl was described as follows: Age, 13; weight, 85 pounds; height, four feet eight Inches; eyes dark; heavy black hair tied In. a braid behind and combed up In a pompadour In front; walked erect. THE RIGID SEARCH. Principal Laws of the Mount Tabor Sohool, stated that the girl had not been at the sohool this week. That she came there Monday, but had some difficulty in Opening the door and went back homA. This she gave as her excuse for not at tending; A peculiar thing Is that the manner of entering the building is through the basement, which she had formerly done. Tuesday she did not ap pear at the school. Late that evening her parents made inquiries about her. That night the woods In the locality were searched by a crowd of people of the neighborhood. Yesterday Mr. Laws took 20 of his pupils and systematically beat several sections of the wodds through which she had passed. Not the slightest sign .was discovered-.Further, search will be made today after school. Mr. Laws stated that there are several deep wells in the locality, which should be searched,. AT THE CATHOLIC .SCHOOL. Inquiry was made at the Catholic School, w here the girl had attended up to several weeks ago. The Sister there was greatly grieved and could throw no light on the matter. She stated that the girl was very retiring and obedient. OSCAR BLAMED LONDON, Oct. 23.

Chamberlain as Goernor, hus been at the Portland Hotel for a couple of days, having bfcen In Salem, appear inp befori the Supreme Court In orm; appeal cases. Mr. White turned aside from' legal matters long enough to talk politics to The Journal. He talked In his usual stralght-from-the-shoulder stylo, saying; "Pacific Coast Democrats are favorable o commercial expansion.

And chances for Democratic success ae becoming, .mare, brilliant every day.' . SOME STATE POLITICS. Mr. White is disposed tu noid the Re upbllcans to account as to their sincerity In passing the Mays law, providing for the nomination of candidates for the United States Senate to bo voted for by popular election. He said. "The Mays law was passed by a Re publican legislature; It was pasnej pro fessedly for the purpose of proving the devotion of that party to the principle of electing Senators by popular vote. Having passed such a law, Mr. Geer took advantage of Its provisions, invited all other candidates tpr the I'nlted States Senate of all parties to contest with him at the polls, and went to the people. He won by an Immense vote, and he is en titled to election in so far as Republicans are concerned. Of course, Democrats wlil vote for C. fi. S. Wood, their nominee, but Republicans cannot get away from the moral obligation to support the man who received the endorsement of their voters at the polls. It is apparent they are preparing to elect some other man than the one whom the Republican vot ers indicated as their most desirable can didate. I submit that this is reprehensible and should be rebuked by the people of the state. It fc-irap!SicTsrdinsof iSr will, ft? the. pe!qj).lep.la.nly...ejcprfised . DEMOCRACY CONSERVATIVE. "The Democracy, I contend. Is the real conservative party of the nation. It stands for preservation of principles that were uttered as fundamental to our Gov ernment, and for the Constitution and against visionary changes and emascula tions. It Is the party that Just now ap peals to business men as safe and worthy of trust Its prospects are brightening day by day, and there will be good chances for success when the next na tional election occurs. "Both from the national and state point of view, I am pleased with the outlook. Oregon Republicans are knifing each oth er, and are endeavoring to thwart the will of the people as to their Senatorial elec tion. Nationally we are getting together. So that, all In all, there-is every reason or good rortune awaiting us. une coast Is logically Democratic. The tariff re vision and trust repression demands of the country and the lack of confidence in he good faith of the Republican organiza tion on the subject enhance the Democc racy's strength before the voters."

That public sentiment forced this action ia cer tain and international politicians claim that the steady loss to which the Danish government is subjected through main taining the islands will soon force a re vulsion of feeling. Through their pockets Is the best way to reach the Danish peo plo and they will soon tire of increased taxation for the purpose of keeping up the group. The Danish West Indies are a steady loss to those who own them now, but transferred to the American flag would prove a rich property and a pay ing one. ... . .. .. .. CHOOSE ANCHORAGE.
