McDonnell, with his usual good fortune In escaping toe severest penalty ' of crime will only have to stay 15 - months at San Quentin, and even this short sentence may be reduced consider ;bly by "good behavior." 'The prisoner was accused of using the United States . mails fur the purpose of defrauding the r rublio and the secret service secured testimony enough to convict their man, To thm nolicA of two continents Mc- : Donneil is known as one of . the most dangerous criminals in the world- He vufi tha narfnan nf lh fimnlll RldWellS ; in their robbery of the Bank of England v when the band of forgers were run down by the Scotland Yard detectives.

Twenty years, In an, English . prison was the sentenoe that McDonnell received. It wa supposed that he . nicality saved him. When he left Eng land after the ,two decades of prison life, he came to' the United States, and after a brief sojourn in New York pur-; - chased a ticket for San Francisco. .Strange to say, McDonnell resorted to petty crimes on arrival here Instead of arming for bigger game. His method . was that employed by ' those who are known to the police as "pawnshop workers." The swindler, would write to a mart.

Lillian Russell was given a genuine treat last Thursday night at the Press club.' Some years ago Miss Russell was made an honorary member of the organ ization because of her timely assistance at a benefit that was given to insure the success of the newspaper . men's ven ture For this; service she was voted a life member. . "Member" - Lillian ex pressed a desire 'to visit the rooms of the club and note the progress that, had been made in her 14 .years of absence from the city. The entertainment com mittee determined to make the affair one to be long remembered by the people of the Weber and 'Fields -'company, the theatrical profession in generartnd the newspaper fraternity and arranged a midnight jinks to which everjt actress and actor on the bill boards was 'In vited. , ''- '-'- r',-.,- "v - ''.'.; Never in the history of similar 'enter tainments did' sneh a representative crowd of Thespians and writers gather to tell good stories and hear jokes by SOUTHERN LINE FKEBIDEJrr Z.YTX.B Ol1 TXZ OOZiUlf BXA 80CTHXSH ABWOTJWOES TKAT , xxTzroxoir to- Bxin wn& aa 0TABTE9 JTZXT MOWTBi WILL BB COKPLZTXD zif TWO TZAM. The long-looked-for railroad Into Cen tral Oregon is at last soon to be built. From Shaniko, the present terminus of the Columbia Southern railway, south to Bend, a distance of 100 miles, the line Is to be extended. Work will begin about the middle of next month and the line will be completed Jn about 18 months or two years. "It takes quite a little while, said President E. K Ly tie of the Columbia Southern this morning, "to construct ioo miles of new. railroad, but we expect to have trains runhlng on the line within two years. We Intend to begin work just as sooi as the weather clears up, and I expect we will-start about the middle .of March. There is still some snow In that part of the country." The extension of the road from Shan iko has been anticipated ever since the line was first built. It.was thought the road would have- been constructed before this, but as the Columbia Southern Is a feeder of the O. R. A N. Co. and It has been understood that the company held back in hopes that the Harriman people would buy the road. . The price asked was intimated by an O. R. ft N. official to have been too much. The region to be opened to the outside world by the Columbia, Southern is di rectly through the targes t woolgrowlng region in the United States. 'Annually B. 000,000 tons of wool is shipped from Ehaniko. . The land of Central Oregon is similar. to the rich wheat, land of tlio. eastern part of the state, and it Is ; said that the 'transportation; prob lem Is the only thing that Is keeping farmers, out' of. the country, As it is SOON COMMENCED THE SWINDLER some of the best theatrical talent in the country. The club had. arranged a fine musical' program and provided good things to eat and there was much merri ment and plenty to satisfy- the inner man. Every theatre Ifi the city was rep resented and at 1 o'clock a. m when the morning papers' released their staffs all the newspapers published here were accounted for-through the "men of the pen." The jinks room held a crowd of over 400 people from midnight till dawn and there was not a dull moment during all that time. Miss Russell wal de- lighted with the reception and . on re ceiving a gold key to the club portal she expressed her thanks to the journal ists for ' the delightful entertainment they bad afforded her. '. r- The Transport SerTioe. The army transport service is won dering whether It will be called upon t put on a number of vessels to transport troops and marines to the Philippines. While the officials in charge have not received direct orders from Washington, many of them admit that It is evident to them that the government Is prepar ing to send more men to the island and to offer some of '. the ships that, are available to the navy - department for the . purpose of sending marines to Cavite. U is known that the situation in the Philippines does not justify this and' It is surmised that, the intention is to. keep a larger force at the islands that they may be available should trouble occur in the far east that might involve the United States. There has been a deal of activity at army head quarters and all of the troops at the Presidio are being drilled with a con stancy that the men cannot understand. The heavy coast batteries are manned and operated by alternating detach ments of coast artillerymen that all mav understand thorouehlv the work-H ings of the big guns. Barracks have been Inspected and there is talk of en larging some of the quarters, which is sfgniAcant in view. of the statement re cently Issued from Washington that troops would be scattered among the posts of the country and not held any longer than necessary at San Francisco. It Is thought that, the Buford. now under1 'orders to proceed to Portland for lumber and forage, may be turned over, to the navy department - when she fin ishes her voyage to Manila. War Causes mil Trade. The war in the Orient has caused some dullness In business circles here, but-merohantsll-eem to- be-of - the opinion that the effect of the struggle between Japan and, Russia will not be serious. In the end, they say, the war will help the Pacific coast, especially if Japan is victorious. Real estate trans actions show an increase over last year and there have been a number of sales of large properties. Building operations have not fallen off, but most of the con struction is confined to small homes and stone buildings In sections removed from the center of the city.., There -are a number of big building contracts to be carried out contingent upon the price of material and the status of the labor market - Spring will show a big In crease In building permits Issued. Building Industry. - . There are several millions of dollars worth of large buildings under construc tion that will not be ready for occupancy for, 10 months or a year.. The new Merchants' Exchange, that will also be the home of the Southern Pacific com pany, will be completed In January, 190S, and the Fatrmount hotel will be ready to receive guests about the same time. James Flood's magnificent structure on the site of the old Baldwin hotel at Market and Powell is receiving the in terior finish and Is pronounced one of the handsomest specimens of architec ture in the west The hotel St Francis is ready for the furnishers and will be opened In' the summer. The Paclflo Union club cannot occupy their new club house before next winter. The famous Bohemian club has purchased a piece of property 'at the corner of Mason and Post, streets and will erect the most unique club '; house In the city. Plans are' now being drawn. A great deal of complaint has- been made of the Inac tivity of "the Hellman syndicate in the matter of improving their. Market street property, which is an eyesore and a menace, because of its flimsy character, to the fine structures that have been built, in the vicinity. grain-raising is profitless when the re sult of the harvest has to be transport ed overland to the railway for more than 30, miles. , -At Bend, on the Deschutes river, there Is ample water for the motive power for big .scouring' mills, and the building of a wool-cleansing establishment at that point , would mean the saving of thou sands of dollars yearly to the woolgrow ers. As it Is the raw unwashed wool Is transported' to Pendleton or the Wil lamette valley mills to be scoured. . BBOOKTOBT SUrrXXS afXBB. . (Journal Special Service.) Brockport, N.. Y.. Feb. 24.

Few travelers have even a alight conception of either fact until they are brought face to face with them; and. to a. newspaper writer both are so bewildering that, he is per plexed where to begin and what to talk about first. ' .!.-.' 1 India is a great triangle,. ,1,900 mlles across Its greatesc length and an equal distance across its greatest breadth. It extends from a region qf perpetual snow in the Himalayas, almost to the equa tor. The superficial area is 1,766,642 square miles, and you can understand better what that means when I tell you that the irnlted States has an area of 2,970,230 square miles, without counting Alaska or Hawaii; India Is . about as large as that portion of the United States lying east of a line drawn south ward along the- western "boundary of the DakotSs, Kansas and Texas. .The population of India is 224,261,056, or about one-fifth of the human race, and if comprises more than 100 distinct na tions and peoples In every grade of civ ilization, from absolute savages to the most complete and complex commercial and social organizations. It has every variety of climate, . from the tropical humidity of the Jungles along the south ern coast to the frigid cold of the moun tains; peaks of ice, reefs of coral. Im penetrable forests and bleak, treeless plains. One portion of its territory re cords the greatest rainfall of any spot on earth, another of several hundred thousand square miles is seldom watered with a drop of rain and is entirely de pendent for moisture upon the melting snows of the mountains. Twelve thou sand different kinds or animals are enumerated in lis fauna. 28.000 plants in Its flora, and the statistical survey pre pared by the government fills 12S vol umes of the sixe of our census reports. . One hundred and eighteen distinct lan guages are spoken in various parts of India, and 69 of these languages are spoken by more than ' 100,000 people each. There are a large number of other languages and dialects spoken by differ ent tribes and clans of less than 100,000 population, and to reach them the British Bible society has published the whole or parts of the Holy Scriptures In 42 languages, which reach-120,000,000-peo pie, but leave 74,000,000 without the Holy Word. In drder to- give the Bible to the remainder of 'the population of Ihdla it would be necessary to prepare 108 additional translations, which the society has n'o money and no men to perform, i From . that liftle statement some conception of the variety of the people may be obtained, because each of the tribes and clans has its own distinct organisation and Individuality, and each is practically a separate nation. The province of Bengal, for example, is nearly as large as the North Atlantio eta tea .combined, and contains 122.468 square miles. The province of Rajpu tana is even larger, and has an area of 127.541 square miles. Bengal has a pop ulation of .74,744,886. almost as great as that fit the entire United States. Madras Jfias a population of 88,000,000, and the central provinces 47.000.000, while several of the 160 different stacii Into which India Is divided have more than 10.000.000. The population is divided according to religions as follows: HhHtoi 2OT.148,422!Muhimmdiia62.4A8.0lt Slkhi 2.1ft5.2ftft Animistic... 8.T11.3A0 BoddhUU...

The foreign population of India is very small. The British-born number only 96.653; 104,683 were born In Europe, and only 641,864 out of nearly 300.000.- 000 were born outside the boundaries of India. '. India consists of four separate and well-defined regions: the jungles of the coast and the vast tract of country known as the Deccan, which make up the southern half of the territory; the great plain which stretcnes southward from the Himalayas and constitutes what was formerly known as Hindustan, and a three-sided table land which lies between in the center of the empire and is drained by a thousand rivers, which carry the water off as fast as It falls and leave but little to refresh the earth. This is usually the country of famine, but the government Is pushing the irri gation system so rapidly that before many years the danger from 'that source will be much diminished. . The whole of Southern India, accord ing to the geologists', was once covered by a great forest, and indeed there are still 66,305,506 acres in trees which are carefully protected. The black soil' of that region Is proverbial for Its fertility and produces cotton, sugar cane, rice and other tropical and semi-tropical plants with an abundance surpassed by no other region. The fruit-bearing palms require a Chapter to themselves and are a source of surprising wealth. According to the latest census the enormous area of 646,224,9(4 acres is under cultivation, which is an average of nearly two acres per capita of population,- and probably two-thirds of it was actually cropped. About one-fourth of this area Is under Irrigation and more than 22,000,000 acres produce two crops a year. As many as 171,735,000 people are wholly engaged In agriculture; 26,4(8,000 are more or less employed upon farms; 3,646.000 are engaged in raising cattle; 14.676.000 In producing food and drink; 11,220 are servants in households; 12. (11.000 are engaged In the manufacture of textiles; 2,3(1,000 are In the manu facture of glass, pottery and stoneware; 1,285,000 in manufacturing leather; 4,293,000' In the manufacture of wood. cane and matting; 6.(72,000 belong to the learned professions; 664.000 are in the military service,, either as soldiers or in other capacities; 5,800,000 are em ployed by the Imperial state and local administrations; and the enormous num ber tif 1.663.000, which la equal to the population of half our states,, are in what the census terms, 'disreputable' occupations. Another startling fact Is that out of a total of 140.496.136 women In India! only 543,496 art able to read tad writs; and 197,(62 are under instruction, the great majority of them in missionary schools. The total "number of illiter ates recorded Is 248,546,176. leaving. 47. 814,180 of both' sexes unaccounted for, but : of ' these, only ' 12,097,580 are - re turned as able to read and write. .. The latest statistics show.' that 2,195,220 are under instruction; , , , Referring again to the languages the following table will show those spoken by more than 1,000,003 people; and most of them you never heard of before, yet they have grammars, dictionaries and a litera ture; most of them poetry. and meta physical works: .... ,- ' ' Lanfrtiige, ,- Rpokrn hrllaanRuase.

The largest Is Calcutta, which, ascending to the. cen sus of 1901, has 1,125,400 people; Bombay has 776,006 and Madras 609,346. . Few countries have, such an enormous birth rate and death rate. Nowhere else are babies born In such enormous num bers, and nowhere does dath reap such awful harvests. Sometimes ' a ' single famine or plague, sweeps millions Into eternity, and tbolr absence Is scarcely noticed. Befor the present - sanitary regulations and Inspections were Intro duced the death rate was nearly double; what it .is , now; indeed, some experts estimate that it must have been several times as great, because no records were kept ' In some of the provinces, and in most.o'f them, they were (incomplete and inaccurate. India is now In a healthier condition than ever before, and yet the death rate varies from 31.10 per 1,000 in the cold provinces of Agra and Oudh to 82.7 per 1,000 In the tropical regions of Behar. : In Bombay last year the rate was 70.07 per 1,000; in the central prlvlnces 66.75; in the Punjab, which has a wide area In northwestern India, It . was 47.7 and In Bengal 36.63. The birth rate Is almost as large, the following table being reported from the principal provinces named: Birth. Birth, per 1.0UO SU.8 35.4 .....31.8 per 1,000 pop Bbar 50.5 Bnrmab.. Punjab 48.4 Bombay.. Agra 48.0 Aium..,, Central prorlnee. .47.8 ltadra... ttenital 4Z.DI - I venture to say that no othr country shows such an enormous birth rate as Ihdla. Notwithstanding the crowded condi tion of the country and the density of the population, ' which is 167, to the square mil9forihe ..entire empire, mountain, desert and Jungle, as agatnat 21.4 in the United States, the people of India love their wretched homes and few can be Induced to leave them. The largest im migration ever known in any one year was in 1901, when the total reached only 34,147, and tne greater, part of these were induced to go to Uganda, Africa, to work upon a railway; and it Is asserted that the greater part Of them have already returned to their homes. The average annual immigration for the last 10 years has been less than-10,000.' Bengal, the province of which Calcutta Is the capital, on the astern coast of In dia, is the most densely populated, hav ing 688 people to the square mile. Behar in the south has 548, Oudh In the north 631; Agra, also In the north, 419 and Bom bay 202. Some parts of India have a larger popu lation to the acre than any other part of the world.. The peasants, or coolies, as they are called, are born and live and die like animals. Indeed animals never are so closely herded together, or live such miserable, wretched lives. In 1900 64,600.000 people were more or less affected by the famine, and 6,607,000 were fed by the government for several months, simply because there was no other way for them to obtain food. There was no labor they could perform for wages, and those who were fortunate enough to se cure employment could not earn enough to buy bread to satisfy the ' hunger of their families. It Is estimated that 30,000,000 of people starved to death in India during the 19th century, and in one year alone, the year in which that good woman Queen Vic toria assumed the title of empress, more than 5,000,000 of her subjects died from hunger. Yet the population without Im migration is continually Increasing from natural causes. The net Increase during the 10 years from 1891 to 1901 was 7,046, 3S5. The struggle for life . Is becoming greater every year; wages are going down Instead of up notwithstanding the rapid increase of manufacturing indus tries, the extension of the railway sys tem and other sources of wealth and employment that are being rapidly de veloped. ' More than 200,000,000 persons In India are living upon, less' than 5 cents a day of our money; more than 100,000,000 are living upon less than 3 cents; more than 50,000,000 upon less than 1 cent and. at least two-thirds of the entire population do not have food enough during any year of their lives to supply the nourish ment demanded by the human system. As I have already shown; there are two acres of land under cultivation for each Inhabitant of India. This Includes gar dens, parks and pastures, and It is not evenly distributed. In many parts of the country, millions are compelled to live upon an average of one-fourth of an acre of land and millions more upon half an acre. ' BZTZB nrTOKMATTOsT. Clerk Maher of the port of Portland commission is compiling data from the weather bureau records giving the low est and highest stage of the Willamette river at Portland during the past 13 years..
