THIRD CONDITION
The second chapter In the sensational
history of 'David a. Van Houten waa
written this morning', when, the man
who waa tried for hla. lite and acquitted
last Saturday waa arrested on ft charge
of threatening; ttf tclll. ? "
The-complaining witness la . J. W.
Lindsay, keeper of the Occidental lodging-house,
who claims that Van Houten
has been making- threata against him
since the trial. Lindsay waa a wltneaa
agalnat Van Houten when the litter waa
tried for the .murder of Albert Yung,
whom he shot, dead laat December 27;
Lindsay went to the office of District
Attorney Manning thla morning. After
hearing hie story, Mr. Manning filed an
Information and the warrant waa Issued.
Lindsay took It to-the police atatlon
and handed It to Officer Qruber.
By a peculiar coincidence Van Houten,
accompanied by R, V. Ooanman and an
other friend, happened to drop Into the
atatlon a few mlnutea later. Van Hou
ten waa looking-for hla attorney, John
Logan.
"There he la now," aald Lindsay.
"Arrest him."
The document waa shown to Van Hou
ten, who was very much aurprlaed.
"What does' thla mean?" he. aald,
turning to Lindsay.
The latter muttered an Inaudible re
ply and walked out.
The officer took the prisoner before
Justice of the Peace Reed, who fixed hla
bond at $1,600. (lossman and the other
friend were willing to furnish security
for Van Houten, but the court waa not
aatiafted and lit default of ball Bent the
prisoner to the county jail.
"He awore to a d d He," aald Van
Houten; referring to Lindsay's testi
mony at the trial.
Lindsay denlea that he la afraid of
Van Houten. but In view of Van Hou
ten'a reputation aa a good ahot, he says
he wlshea to be on the aafe side.
The warrant alleges that last Monday
Van Houten used the following Incen
diary language regarding the complain
ing witness:
LABOR WAR EXPECTED
IN WALLA WALLA
(Journsl Special SerTlca.)
Walla Walla, Wash.. Feb. 3. What
has promised to be one of the busiest
building seasons In the history of thla
city now aeema likely to be turned into
a period of dissension and trouble be
tween labor and contractors, who have
in prospect the construction of aeveral
large buildings and a number of smaller
structures. For months trouble has
been brewing and It sefitns almost Im
possible that a clash be averted.
The United Brotherhood of Carpen
ters and Joiners has Issued a notice to
all contractors and builders in the city
that on and after April 1 no member
of the brotherhood wilt be allowed to
work upon' a building where non-union
labor js employed. This -organisation
claims to have In its membership prac
tically .all . the good mechanics of the
city, and its withdrawal from a build
ing will mean a long tie-up and serious
difficulty in securing help to complete
the work. '
It has been but a few years since
no union existed in Walla Walla. One
by one the different trades organised
until now every mechanical trade and
many of the other pursuits have strong
organisations. The trades council has
secured .a hall of its own and a union
of some sort occupies it each night.
Bealdes thla the plumbers have a hall
of their own. Most of the organisation
work was perfected last year.
A labor war seems Imminent, and it
will take careful generalship to avert
It. Trouble arose last year between
the carpenters and the union workmen
over hours and non-union men em
ployed by contractors, but as the sea
son waa about closed no open rupture
was allowed to develop. About a month
ago a meeting was held to which all
contractors were Invited to discuss the
situation with the carpenters and mske
an amicable settlement of differences.
But few men outside the unions attend
ed and it waa taken for granted that

"I owe Lindsay something for testify
ing agalnat me; I will get Lindsay."
District Attorney. Manning stated that
aa Van Houten had killed one man he
would not place any one's life In jeop
ardy were he satisfied that Van Houten
Intended to do them harm. He said
that the prisoner would be required to
give good bonds, and that he would not
be' released until he gave sufficient
aurety to keep out of trouble.
"Thla la Lindsay's deal all the way
through," said Van Houten after hla ar
reat. "He ia responsible for all my
troubles. . He waa disappointed that the
jury did not convict me. and now he
takes' thla way Of getting even.
"Lindsay la quite a ladles.' man, you
know, and he wants to stand In with my
wife. Vtf Minnie will' tell me that she
wants Lindsay I will give her a divorce
In a minute. I don't think that she
wants him, however. Once Lindsay
followed her for several blocks, and she
gave him a 'call down.'
"I see now that Lindsay has sprung
this whole trouble on me he and Emily
Mildren. I suppose that he Is mad to
think that the jury did not convict me.
Then he would have had clear sailing
with niy wife. He either wants to get
me behind the prison bars or out of the
country. .
"But you bet I will leave the country
when I get ready. I was here long be
fore Lindsay was. And juat let Lind
say watt till I get to trial with thla
case. Then I will tell some things that
will make Mr. Lindsay wish he had kept
his mouth shut.
"I slapped Lindsay's ears once, be
cause he told stories about my wife and
I suppose that ho is still sore about It,"
he concluded. '
Attorney John Logan, who success
fully defended Van Houten on the mur
der charge, today stated that he would
have nothing to do with the case.
"Not me." he said. "I advised Van
Houten against this. I told him to keep
still. I will have nothing whatever to
do with the case."
the demands of the organisation were
to be passed up. The union has been
considering the matter ever since with
the result that all members will be
taken off w3rk wheVe non-memberB are
allowed employment.
At the present time several large
buildings are in prospect. J. E. Ran
som of Chicago is arranging to erect
a four-story brick and C, -A. Beck has'
plans drawn for a $30,000 building near
the crossing of the railroads, to be used
as a wholesale grocery. Le Qee, a Chi

large brick block. Qus Harris has the
material on the ground for a fine, build

London, ' Feb. 3. Redmond, in behalf
of the Nationalists, demanded home rule
for Ireland today in the house of com
mons, during frequent cheering by his
compatriots.- Redmond asserted that
the present government had pauperized
atid depopulated Ireland and he said no
greater delusion coufd be entertained
than that the question could be gotten J
no oi. jxeuner zorce nor concession
could relieve the British government of
the necessary consequences of main
taining the present system opposed to
the will of the governed, and he pre
dicted If the Liberals come Into power
they could get the Irish vote only on
the promise of home rule. He said the
present g-overnmeht was corrupt and
that Ireland would rather govern her
self badly than be governed so by an
other nation. He said Ireland lags be
hind in commerce,, agriculture and art
because an educational board waa im
posed on the country which. was anti
national, narrow and Incompetent and
should now be swept Into the dustbin.
He, said the government's attitude on
the unlyerslty education plan Is dis
honest and an. evasion of an admitted
duty and that the government promises
had been faJs. -
The Irish gave Redmond a tremen
dous ovation when he concluded.

Dr. I. D. Driver Is still conducting
enthusiastic jneetlngs at the M. E.
church, this city. Last week his dis
courses were lectures, but this week the
various churches of the city have Joined
with the Methodists, and during the re
mainder of the meetings the work will
be of an evangelistic nature. ..There are

The hew Alblna line of the Portland
railway waa opened to traffic this mornV
lng and between 10 a. m. and 4' p. m.
the new cars were crowded with people
who took the trip aa guests of the Al
blna sub-board of, trade. Aa souvenirs
of the occasion the board issued an ex
cursion ticket in the Bhape of a large
cardboard bell which gave passengers
the rights of the excursion without
cost. The Alblna board feels that the
opening of the new electric line marks
an epoch in the history of that portion of
the? east side and expects a rapid de
velopment to follow the installation of
this line through districts not before
touched by motor lines. The new line
consists of more than a mile of double
track street railway through the heart
of Upper Alblna and on to Maryland
avenue. There are five, new cars placed
on the line and' besides helping con
gested Alblna traffic this line will re
lieve lower Union avenue travel, aa It

CONDITION OF STOCK
IN EASTERN OREGON
(Journal Bpeclal Service.)
Baker City. Of., Feb. 3. Baker county
cattle are beginning to move, several
shipments having been made last week
and another large shipment contracted
to be made on the 6th by Phillips, Brown
fc Geddes to Seattle. Cattle are in good
shipping condition, owing to the mild
winter, and it is believed that shipments
will be numerous.
The sheep and wool men of the coun
try are not losing anything by the open
winter and there Is every prospect that
there will be a large increase In the
flocks this spring and' a htavy crop of
wool.
Last spring there was a phenomenal
Increase In the flocks at lambing time
and those familiar with the conditions
this "winter predict a still larger In
crease this spring. The winter has been
so mild tha it has not been necessary to
feed much, the sheep are In fine condi
tion and with an early season, as Is now
promised, sheep and wool men stand to
make large profits even should prices
decline. That there will be any great
disturbance In prices Is not expected.
although ft is a presidential year. If
there Is any disturbance It Is thought
there will be advances on account of the
promised war in the far east.
Not only do sheep and wool promise
well this year, hut cattle, hogs and'
horses will not be drugs on the market.
Baker county ranchers have a good
outlook before them and If they are not
prosperous this year It will not be the
fault of conditions up to the present
time. There are not very many mort
gaged farms In Powder valley In propor
tion to business and values and with the
advent of more people and the establish
ment of more private and government
Irrigation plants the possibilities of
production here will be almost unlim
ited. Two Attempts to Wrack Train.
Manager Charles M. Sage of the
Baache-Sage Hardware company, yester
day returned from an extended trip
through the eastern states, where he
spent a well earned vacation and inci
dentally purchased several carloads of
goods for the Baker City and Sumpter
store. When asked about his trip and
conditions in the east Mr. Sage said
that he went principally for pleasure and
had a good time, although the weather
was very cold and disagreeable most of
the time. Business in the east Is gener
ally good and It is not thought the com
ing political campaign will affect condi
tions very much.
On the way home, near Shoshone.
Idaho, on the Short Line, two attempts
were made to wreck the train by turning
the switches ahead of the train, but In
each case the engineer discovered the
misplaced switch In time to stop be
fore any damage was done. It la be
lteved the work was done by hoboes who
had been put off the trains.

8alcm, Feb. 3. Master Fish Warden
H. Q. Van Dusen of Astoria yesterday
afternoon filed with the governor hla
annual report Showing the condition of
the fisheries of the state, an'd the opera
tions of the fishermen during the past
year. This report shows a very satis
factory corldltlon of affairs and indi
cates that the Industry will In the fu
ture be far better than It Is now or has
ben In the past. The report says:
"I am very much pleased to report
that the Columbia river demonstrated
again this year that artificial propaga
tlon Is the one thing' that is preserving
the great salmon Industry. It Is to the
fisheries what the sowing of aeed la to
far reaching, excepting that it Is more
far reaching in its effect, as It Is laying
the foundation for a gradually Increas
ing harvest year by year. While arti
ficial propagation of salmon has been In
vogue on the Columbia river only a few
years In a systematic manner, the re
sults obtained again thla year, which Is
the third in succession, have been suf
ficient to Indicate Its wonderful possi
bilities and to convince even the most
skeptical of Its great benefits.
'The first .systematic hatchery work
started on the tributaries of the Colum
bia river was in the year 1 895, when
7.887.000 Chinook fry were turned out,
by the I'nlted Staves government and
the stste of Wsshington the Oregon
department not getting started with
their part until the year 1899 and that
since then the output every year has
been gradually increased, until now the
combined output of the three depart
ments, that Is, Oregon. Washington and
the United States government will be
this season over 70,000.000 Chinook fry.
This Increase t am pleased to attribute
principally to the efforts of the Oregon
department, which has been built up to
such an extent during the past three
years, that this year it turns out more
Chinook fry than Washington and the
I'nlted States government combined, and
five times as many as what It did In the
year 1901. The result of the combined
efforts of the three departments since
the year 1S5 are very gratifying and
show, aa per table herein submitted.
that the eAmplete number of Chinook
fry tumd Into this great waterway was
I near JOO.800,000.
f n. m. moo.
"The fishing season on the Columbia
river for the Royal Chinook, which 1
the salmon that has been given the prln-.,
clpal attention in the art of artlfl'ftal
propagation, proved Itself this year to
be the best that has been had for many
a year and surpasses by 4.07J.7I! pounds
last year, rwhlch was the banner year
This meant an additional $200,000 paid
to the fishermen for the raw product
and near half a million dollars to the
csnners and dealers for the canned and
packed products. This Is a wonderful
showing considering that the artificial
work carried on with this fish during the
season of 180J-1900. the season the
young fry were planted, did not cost the
state of Oregon 15,000.
There was a falling off of per cent
srith the Blueback salmon and of JV4
per cent with the 8teelheads, bt with It
all on account of the fine showing made
with the Chlnooks, there was a general
increase Of near 20 per cent.
The production of the coast streams
also show an increase this season over
last of T.14S.8S2 pounds. This Increase

and Sllversldes. ,t

FATHER AND SON
IN A BAD MIXliP
(Journal fipecla! Serrlce.)
Dallas. Or.. Feb. 3. Clarence Alkman,
a farmer, living In the Rock creek coun
try about 18 miles west of here, came
before Justice of the Peace Holman on
last Saturday and swore to a warrant
charging Ralph Henry and his father.
De Witt C. Henry, with threatening to
commit murder, and asking that they be
placed under bonds to preserve the
peace.
According to Alkman's story, he end
the youngerjienry became Involved in a
dispute over a card game, and during
this dispute Henry drew a knife and
threatened to kill him. Alkman charges
the elder Henry with having threatened
to shoot him as he was passing the Hen
ry farm. Constable Aahbough brought
the two men Into town yesterday and
their hearing was set for Wednesday af
ternoon. According to the atory told, by the
Henrys, it seems that Alkman. who Is a
very large man, weighing about 250
pounds, and being over six feet tall, had
assaulted Ralph Henry with a stove
poker, and that Henry had drawn the j
knife to defend himself; that Alkman
called at the Henry farm the next day
after this trouble, during the absence of
the younger man, and that he was then
assaulted -by the elder - Henry. In the
scrimmage that followed Henry received
considerably the worst of it, and tried
to get a gun to use on Alkman. but was
prevented from doing so. When the
rase against them has been disposed of
the Henrys threaten to bring a charge
against Alkman for assaalt and battery.

LABOR ORGANIZATION
(Journal Special tiervlrc.)
Spokane. Wash., Feb. 1. The new
constitution recently adopted by tha
American Ijibor union has gone Into
effect and there are atrong rumftra In
labor circles that several of the 8pokana
A. L. U. bodies might withdraw . from
that organisation, jhe new constitu
tion double the per capita tax paid by
the unions, from 10 to 29 cents a month.
Thla money Is aent. to the treasury of
the American Labor unton at Butte and
a reason given for the rats la that
part of It la to be used as a defense)
fund. Many Spokane la her leaders
think that the money should be kept
here and used as a fund for the benefit
of the uniona. At least t3,50D will be
taken out of thla city under the new A.
L. I, constitution. If a union goes on a
strike the strikers get a weekly benefit
of about 17. while the man who comes
from Butte to settle the strike IS to get
13 per day. 1 - t
Another feature of the new constitu
tion which Is objeetlonable to many
unions Is the fact that subscription to
the American Iabor union. Journal 1
compulsory. The Amertcai Labor
union has declared for soctaltsm but has
not forced this belief upon its mem
bers. The Labor Journal Is an avowed
Socialist organ and members erf the
Spokane unions do not, think that they
should be forced to pay for the propa
gation of a doctrine lit which they d
not believe.
The federal anion Is the largest A. f
T". organization in this state, havlnir
more than 70 members. It Is strongly
opposed to tha new constitution- ami '
