Of the million pounds In the warehouses at the opening of the sale about 19S.000 Is still In the hands of the growers. Much of this wool was offered for sale but was withdrawn because the owners regarded the prices as unsatis factory. Among those who did not sell for this reason were William Blusher, K. J. Warner, Perry Oould and John Rust. Of these the first two have large clips. Slusher's amounting to 88,647 pounds. The wool that was withdrawn, to gether with what was not offered for sale because not hauled yet, will be sold at the next salesday, which Is scheduled for May 29. Rales In Detail.

L WATER QUARREL TREATY IN HAND WHICH MAY BRING AGREEMENT. Americano Have Scoured Advantages Which They Are Loth to Relinquish The Building of a $7,000,000 Di version Dam by Americans Brought the Disagreement to an Amicable Legal Climax. Washington, May 23. Secretary Root, for the United States, and Am bassador Casosus, for the Mexican government signed a treaty regulating the use of the waters of the Rio Grande, which. If approved by the senate, will remove what has been for 20 years past a source of friction In the relations of the two countries. For almost a century the Mexicans living along the lower river have made large use of Its waters for the purpose of Irrigating their lands. But In recent years private companies on the upper waters In the United States have, by the construction of wing dams, diverted a large part of the water to this side of the river. The Mexicans have preferred claims for the damage sustained, but so far without success. Now the plans of the reclamation service have made it certain that prac tlcally all of the water will be retained on American soil unless some proper scheme of division can be arranged. The construction of the 17,000,000 dam across the Rio Grande at Engcl. N. M., brought the matter to a cli max and led to negotiations between the two countries which culminated In the treaty signed today. GREAT FIRE AT FAIRBANKS.

TROUBLE AHEAD IF Unless the law regarding fish lad ders and screens Is promptly com plied with by the Oregon Land A Water company at Irrlgon, the offi cials of that company will find them selves In trouble. Last evening O. F. Turner, deputy game warden, and G. I. LaDow returned from irrlgon, where they made an inspection of the company's dam yesterday. According to Deputy Turner they found the Irrigation dam to be wholly unprovided with a fish ladder, al though the company had been notified two months ago to establish one. Through their negligence In the mat ter the river just below the dam is now filled with fish that have collect ed In an attempt to pass the obstruc tion. During the high water in the river the fish were able to pass tho dam, but at the present stage of the river they cannot do so.

San Francisco, May 23. This morning at 9 o'clock the commercial bank opened their doors for the transaction of regular business un hampered by clearing house restr'c Hons. Gold In plenty filled the vaults and there Is as much money In the banks today as ever in the history of San Francisco. The stability of the fl nancltU situation Is such that there Is not the slightest evidence of a money panic, every bank in the city now be ing In a position to meet all obliga tions without undue strain. While the official date for the for mal opening of banks is next Monday, many savings Institutions opened this morning. The Mutual Savings bank opened for unrestricted business with 120.000,000 In money and active secur ities In the vaults. The California Safe Deposit A Trust company open' ed at Its old quarters at the corner of California and Montgomery streets. This bank is one of the first to have temporary quarters completed. The Humboldt bank opens tomor row morning. About SO per cent of the Humboldt's loans were In the burned district, and the bank an nounced It will return all Its Insurance money to borrowers for rebuilding purposes. with no more rush or excitement than usually attended the settling on a day before the fire, the Hibernian bank, the city's largest savings Instl tutlon, thre wopen Its doors at 9 this morning. Every look and every ac tion of the hundreds In line before the doors opened betokened confl dence. The line began to form at 6:45. At 9 It extended down Jones street and then down Golden Gate as far as Market and back again to wards Jones. Old women, young cleiks. begrimed teamsters and pretty stenographers were there, all as cheer ful as a crowd of theater-goers wait ing their turns at the box office. A young fellow In working clothes stepped out of line to give his place to an aged woman In a shawl who tightly hugged to her breast her little yellow-covered book. Others followed suit, and soon the woman was far up the line. Many brought lunches and stools and prepared for a long wait. When the doors opened the first 10 persons were told off and allowed to enter. Two paving tellers had their money benches heaped with gold and quickly passed out the coin. Few withdrew their total deposits, and LAW IS NOT OBEYED Nor have the Irrlgon people com plied with the law requiring that screens be placed over the headgates of Irrigation ditches. Though they were found to have screens on the ground, they have not been placed and so are of no use at present. During the day Deputy Turner ap peared before John McCourt, acting district attorney, for the purpose of having criminal action taken against the manager of the Irrlgon company. After looking up the law the deputy district attorney said he would notify Mr. Cook by 'phone that the ladder must be established at once, and that If a satisfactory answer was not given he would Issue a warrant for his ar rest While away on their recent trip, Messrs. Turner and LaDow made fur ther changes in the ladder at Hermls- ton so that fish may now get past there. there were few large withdrawals but mostly by persons who needed the funds for building purposes. Most of the depositors merely wanted money to meet present passing needs. In the meantime two receiving tellers were taking care of those who wished to make deposits. Officials of the banks predict busi ness will resume normal conditions by tomorrow. SS-YEAR-OLD PEDESTRIAN. " Weston Trying to Equal Ms Own Record of 44 Years Ago. Trenton, N. J., May 23.

It Is generally regarded that the political sentiment among traveling men is an Index of the general feel Ing over the state, and If such is true, George E. Chamberlain will again be governor of Oregon. Within the past week many well known sulesmen have expressed their opinions freely while here, and In every case noted they have prophesied the re-election of Governor Chamberlain. This morning two men of the road were discussing the subject at the Hotel Pendleton and when question ed as their own intentions for election day both declared that though they were republicans they would cast' their ballots for the present governor. "There Is no reason on earth why Governor Chamberlain should not be re-elected excepting that he is a dem ocrat," said one, "and with me that objection counts for little. He Is an able man and has made the best gov ernor the state has hnd for years. I am not going to vote against him simply to satisfy some politicians on the other side." That the above sentiment is shared by the majority of traveling men Is apparent to anyone who has talked with them. But a few days ago a group of half a dozen or more were gathered at an eastern Oregon Junc tion, and though nearly all were re publicans the crowd was unanimous In support of Governor Chamberlain. It Is also a noteworthy fact that among the men on the road the can didacy of Jonathan Bourne Is looked upon as a disgrace to the state. One man who has known the would-be senator for years declared recently that he knew of nothing to the credit of Bourne, and attributed his nomina tion to lack of knowledge concerning him.
