RULES I OU DKS CHUTES.
Irrigation Company and State Board
Reach Agreement.
Salem, Nov. 6. The rules which
were drawn up Jointly by the state
land board and the representatives of
the Dcs Chutes Irrigation & Power
company, for the benefit of the set
tlers on the lan due of the company,
were received at the state office this
afternoon. They were sent from
Portland, where they had been sub
mitted for approval to the directors
of the company. It Is expected that
the rules will be signed by all parties
today, and that the Des Chutes con
troversy will therofore be closed.
The principal rule provides for a
fair water supply for settlers. The
compuny agreed to release settlers
from their present contracts, with
which they are dissatisfied, nnd make
new ones, with the new rules Incor
porated. After the matter of .rules
la finally settled, State Engineer Lewis
will sign certificates for a small por
tion of the land ot the company,
which will then be able to draw In
terest from the state.
HEAVIEST SHEEP SALES.
Chics go Furnished Market for 2n7,H4R
Feeders In October,
Chicago, Nov. t. During the month
of October there were 267.848 sheep
and lambs bought by feeders. This
was the largest number In the history
of the trade, but the remarkable thing
was that this large volume of business
was done at prices which were the
highest on record.
Tho fact thnt values of mutton soar
ed so high when nearly 700,000 head
were received In a month proves that
unless this supply keeps up the mar
ket will continue to he good and may
possibly go higher. This Is the en
couragement that Is stimulating feed
ers to Jump In. As soon as the west
ern run ceases and killers have to
depend on the native supply, receipts
will decrense to small proportions.
Feeders reallxe that thev will bo de
pended on to supply the markets with
mutton and there is reason to believe
that the demand will need all that Is
available. Chicago la receiving nearly
twice as many sheep as 10 years ago
:md seven times as many as SO years
ugo. It Is hardly to be presumed that
this ratio ot Increase will continue In
the future.

London, Nov. 6. Six thousand

The premier and his brother, Gerald

The premier would not promise a spe

The women were greatly dissatisfied
because they were told their demands

That peace is costly as well as war,
Is evident from some of the gentle

gathering at Portland recently.
Along with others of tho clan a com

Hon. It. Alexander of this placo, who

naming the trifling sum of $r00 as a
sufficient amount to bo given by one

the gentleman addressed. However,
It Is said that the "effort" was in vain,

St. Petersburg. Nov. . official ami
liberals this morning said the attempt
to fasten the responsibility for the
Jewish massacres upon the bureau
cracy Is unsatisfactory. They say:
"The whole Itusslan tuition Is to
blame. Every one In Russia regards
the Jew as a legitimate prey. When
the full reports are in it will show
that 30,000 to 40,000 Jews were killed
or Injured, while not a voice is raised
In protest in all Russia, and not an
authoritative or official word is said
In condemnation. This fact is more
horrible than the massurres them
selves, and present doubts that the
Russlun people are capable of govern

The Jews cannot gain their freedom
under a liberal government unless
they fight for It then as the liberals
are now fighting the autocracy.

Among the officials at the' court

during the past few days has been the

considerable criticism of the report
from officials and deputies, for they

the work was also found to be prac

on J. W. Maloney, who also held the

Tho severe arraignment made of

SALEM FORGES AHEAD.
Over Two Mile of Cement Walks
Mullt In Past Year.
Over two miles of cement walks
have been laid In tho city of Salem
since Street Commissioner Kurti took
office, the first of last January, says
the Salem Journal. This breaks the
record for any similar time In the
city's history. Cement walks, from
being tho exception in pavements, a
few years ago, are fast becoming the
rule. These walks laid this year are
both Inside and outside of the dis
tricts created by the city council
wherein all new sidewalks that nre
put down must be of cement.
The great majority of the walks
have been put down In residence dis
tricts and have a width of five feet.
Their cost averaged 9 and 10 cents a
foot. Some walks, however, have
been laid In the business section that
nre 1J feet wide the full distance
from the property lino to the curb.

from a letter to W. J. Hand. Instead
of being a personal trophy, the team
winning the shoot will land the prize.

Information, It Is understood that Sil
ver City has a team of five men who
are constantly practicing for the shoot.
They have no Intention, It is said, of
permitting the trophy to pass out of
their possession.
El Paso will make a strenuous ef
fort lo land the trophy. A team will

that other cities will enter teams for

Five and Six Thousand Votcx.
San Francisco, Nov. 6. After the
most spectacular campaign in the his
tory of this municipality, the forces
are lining up for the battle of ballots
to decide the issue ut graft and anti
graft, which has been the reynnte of
graft, which has been the keynote of
two elements in the community.
As the candidate of the fusion of
democrats with republicans for mayor,
John S. Partridge, a young lawyer,
has made a brilliant and stirring ap
peal for reform In all departments of
city government In opposition to the
union labor candldute, Eugene E.
Schmitz, now serving his second
term.
The Interest in the campaign Is un
precedented, the registration reaching
a total of 00,000. as against 70.00
at any previous election.
Lined up for Schmitz are 3200 sa
loons, two'thfrds of the employes In
the city dep.'nmcn(s and all orgnnlseif
labor, all under the leadership of
Abraham Ituof, a former republican
boss, now champion of Uie Schmlts
forces. , against Kuel us a poss, a re
tform fight has ti-ert directed.
The fusion managers today claim
the election of Partridge from 600S
to 6000, basing these figures on the
high registration and an aroused pub
lic sentiment against bossism and
municipal corruption.
lleney Mixes In the light.
The utterances of Francis Heney.
who as agent of the government,
prosecuted the Oregon land frauds, at
Mechanic's Pavtllion Saturday nicnt
have injected a sensational feature
Into the campaign.
Heney made specific charges of
graft against the present administra
tion, and said that Ruef is the maa
who is responsible. He said Ruef to
a grafter and he could prove It. The
attention of the grand Jury has beea
called to Heney's statement, and the
foreman announced he would proba
bly call a meeUng of the Jury to In
vestigate the charges.
Heney this morning refused to dis
cuss what the grand Jury woaM
probably do, but said, "If I ever start
after Ruef I'll land him In the peni
tentiary." It Is Up to Heney.
"It's up to Heney to make good bis
statement by producing before tbe
grand Jury the proofs and evidence h
says he has in his possession which
will send Ruef to the penitentiary,"
said District Attorney Byington this
morning. "The grand Jury will meet
at 4 this afternoon, and I shall call
their attention to the alleged state
ment by Heney, and ask that he ap
pear before that body with his proof."

"The Portland committee and the
Paget sound committee shall consult

"This agreement is dated August
