NEW MAP OF IDAHO.
Vp-to-Date, and Eliminates Offensive
Feature.
Information was received from
Washington today that the new map
f Idaho, which has been prepared
smdor the supervision of the commis
sioner of the general land office, has
seen completed and will be distribut
ed In the nead future by the depart
asent. In addition to showing tho new
postofflces established In the past two
years, the boundaries of the forest re
serves, state wagon roads and mining
eamps, other gratifying changes con
sist in eliminating the words "Snake
River desert," and "Broken Lava, pla
teau," which have hitherto conveyed
the Improsslon that a largo portion of
the state was desert. The Irrigation
projects have put an end to the des
ert. In fact, and It Is gratifying to
know that the government map mak
ers have discovered the change.
Another pleasing feature of the now
map Is that It marks the city plats at
Boise, rocatello, Lowlston and Mos
cow, showing the Importance of these
places. Boise Capital Nows,

REDNER STILL AT LARGE,
Notliing In tho Story Tlwt He Haft
Been Caught In Chicago.
Boyd Redner, the missing ex-clerk
In the local express office, has not
yet been found. Last night Route
Agent F. A. Korncr, who has been
working on the case, was seen, and
t. the East Oregonlan denied that
his man had been located In Chicago.
According to Mr. Korner, there was
nothing In the story published Sunday
morning to the effect that Redner
had been found In Chicago, and that
he was on his way east to bring him
back.
While declining to make known
the clues upon which h la working,
as such publicity would interfere with
his plans, Mr. Komer was emphatic
In denying the story that Rednor had
been located In Chicago. "When we
capture him, If we ever do," said he,
the entire story of the robbery wilt
be made known."

I
St. Louis, Nov. 27. United States
Senator J. Ralph Burton of Kansas
was found guilty on all six counts cf
the Indictment on which he was
charged by tho Jury in Judge Vande
venter's 'federal court Saturday night.
Burton's counsel stated that appli
cation for a new trial would be mado
and If tills Is refused a new appeal
would tie taken. Senator Burton ap
peared much overcome by the verdict.
He refused to make a ctatement
The Indictment charges that while a
senator from Kansas Burton received
from the Rlalto Qraln h. Securities
company tho sum of 2600 in cash. It
Is charged that this amount was paid
in St Louis. Burton Is not charged
with receiving any money In Wash
ington, but he Is charged with having
agreed In thin city to accept $500 a
month.
The defense contended that the vis
Its of Senator Burton paid to the post
office department were not for tho
purpose of Influencing legislation In
regard to the matters In which tho
Rlalto Grain company Itself was In
terested, but for the purpose of Inves
tigating the case against the president
of tho company.
The penalty Is a term of not more
than two years In tho penitentiary or a
flno of not more than $10,000, or both,
and that the convicted person shall be
forever debarred from holding office
under the United States government.
This Is the second time burton has
been tried and conv.'cted on the charge
of accepting money for using his In
fluence beforo government depart
ments. The federal supreme court
reversed tho verdict of the first trial,
which was hid before Judge Adams In
St. Louis in Novomber. 1003, because
the payment was mado by check In
Washington and not In St. Louis, as
charged In the Indictment.
Judge Vnndeventor this morning
gave Senator Burton's attorney until
Wednesday to file a motion for a new
trial.

Revolt and Mutiny at Sebsurtopol.
St. Petersburg. Nov. 27. In view of
the alarming news received today of
a mutiny at Sebastopol the proceed
ings of the zemstvo congress at Mos
cow and other developments in the
Russian situation paled into Insigni
ficance. The formidable revolt In
which sailors of the fleet, shore equlp
pages and Infantry garrisons are par
ticipating appears at the present to
be beyond the power of Vice Admi
ral Chouknln, commander of the
Black sea fleet, to control, as the dis
patches sny nothing of the measures
being taken or of the attitude of th;
other regiments of the regular garri
son.
The mutineers and riotous strikers
are parading the city with red flags
without Interference and it may be
possible as was the case at Odessa,
that the guns of the battlesliip Pate-
Iclmoti (formerly the Kniar Pot era
klne) and other vessels of the Euxlne
fleet dominate the situation and pre
vent active measures being taken to
quell the mutiny, even if Vice Admi
ral Chouknln has sufficient loyal
troops at his disposal.
Officers ef the admiralty hope that
the mutiny may end like that at
COAST DEFENCE PROBLEM.
Hoped to Reduce Actual Expense Be
low the Estimates.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 27. The
Joint naval and military board, called
to consider the so-called Endlcott plan
of coast defence, has been holding
several sessions recent. y and will soon
be ready to submit Its report to the
president. The work has been divid
ed Into sections In charge of sub
committees, which are making tholr
Investigations and preparing their re
ports, which documents will be incor
porated III tho complete report of the
committee of which Secretary Taft is
the nominal head.
It is proposed to have the report
rendy to submit to congress at the
coming sesRlnn, although the Incident
Is not regarded as of much Import
ance, since it will have no special
bearing on the appropriations for for
tifications for some years to come. It
looks as If it would be possible to re
duce the original estimates by several
millions of dollars and achieve the
same results of defence against an
enemy from the sea as was contem
plated by the Endlcott board of 20
years or more ago.
Tho principal subjert recently un
der discussion was that In relation to
the submarine In Its office as a part
of the coast defence. One proposition
has been to do away with submarine
mining, but the artillerists do not
share any such confidence In the boat
as to admit Its valuo as a substitute
for the mines. The submarine boats
will, however, have a prominent place
In the plans of the new coast defence
project. That much has ben decid
ed. It will be used In defence of the
coast forts and along the shore on
the approach of an enemy.

So well pleased were the farmers of

the Jacksonville Times.
In reply to a letter of Inquiry Dr.

able to hold a series of farmers' In

first week In February. While the
schedule of dates and places has not

It Is expected this .will offset the su

of the players have been at work in

OIL PltOIHt'llON OF THE W EST.
Now Exceeds That of the State Eat
of die Mississippi.
Chicago, Nov. 27. The report of
the United States geological survey,
just published, shows that for the first
time in the history of tho petroleum
industry of the United States, the
quantity of oil produced west of the
Mississippi river last year was great
er than that produced In the eastern
region. New Pools were discovered
in 1901 In Texas, California, Kansas,
Indian Teiritory and Oklahoma and
many extensions were made to the
old fields. An Immense section, be
ginning In southeastern Kanscs and
extending southward Into northern In
dian Territory and Oklahoma, now
more than 180 miles long and 60 miles
wide, was proved to be productive of
petroleum and natural gas, .
According (0 the statistics contain
ed In the report referred to, the total
output of crude oil last year was 117,-
063,421 barrels, a yield of 16,632,084
barrels less than the year before. The
value of Inst year's product amounted
to $101. 170,466, a gain of $6,476,416
over 1903. The report says all indica
tions point to an Increase in the pro
duction of petroleum In the United
States for years. The increased de
mand In this country Is attributed In
great measure to the use of that ar
ticle In automobiles and as a fuel in
certain Industries.
