Commend IIliu as a Constructive Statesman .of the Hlgheet Type Mr. Trlkr Reminds the People That Without Democratic Votes In the Senatip Hoosoveltlsm Would Be Stranded High and Dry and nrtp le. Bets were about even this morn ing aa to whether a lean man about B fert, 8 Inches In height, who came In nci No. 1, and went out on No. 8. -i vrrrv her or a politician. The preponderance of nplnlon after the discussion had continued until the man In qjest'on had taken his seat in the cur, wusthnt he was a preach er. Then smnerine jumped at the con clusion that he was a Methodist bishop making the circuit of the northwest conference. "Well," said a Methodist srho stood by. "perhaps he Is a preach er, but he Isn't anything more than a presiding elder, at the outside." The gentleman In question politely informed the reporter who arrived at this Juncture, that his name was Tel ler, and that he was from Colorado, Ills way with his wife to Moscow, Idaho, to visit with old friends and look after some business Interests. "Yes," he said with evident reluc tance, "t am Senator Teller," and you may tell your readers that I am un qualifiedly for Bryan for president In 19S. He Is the one man, who, more than any other living man, can effect an amalgamation of the reform ele ments In this country to that degree that republican euoooes will not I Imperiled, but It will be extremely Im probable. William J. Bryan Is not only a man of consummate skill aa a politician, but he has nerve, and Is a profound thinker as well. "Bryan Is a constructive statesman of the highest type, and can be de pended upon to accomplish. In the course of events, In an orderly and philosophical way, what Roosevelt can best only make an abortlva at tempt at doing. ' tt should be recalled that legislation favored by Roosevelt In the direction of the suppression and regulation of the trusts was only enacted by the help ot democratic votes In the senate, and that without those democratlo votes Roosevelt and his recommendations would now l nothing but drift that had lodged on the edge of the current of events." Conductor Pegram, formerly of the Northern Pacific and for years a res Idnet of Wallula, died recently In Spokane. ACTUAL WORkft J? N OX RECLAMATION PROJECT. f Kcho, Aug. 20.

The company has eight teams at work and more' coming Immediately, besides a carload of tools Is coming tonight. A large number of men are needed at once. A carload of lumber arrived today for the company's use, and more will arrive Immediately, and several small, temporary dwell- lugs for the men are In course of DEATH LIST REACHES OVER TEN Tl Now Caring for the Many Refugees Property Loss Will Be More Than a Quarter of a Billion. The Fate of the Islanders Is Unknown Miner Shocks Continue Not a Single Itulldlng In tho Entire City Escaped Some Amount of Damage Fires Are Dying Down The Confusion Is Indescribable. Buenos Ayres, Aug. 20. The de struction at Valparaiso Is confirmed at 11,000 dead. The hotel Ingllsh collapsed, burying all of the occu pants. This Information Is obtained from the refugees. Fires Dying Out. Valparaiso, Aug. 20. Fires are dy ing out. Nothing more to burn. Dy namite Is freely used. The city Is built of much adobe, business dlstrlcy steel, made the conflagaratton less than If of wood. Various estimates casualties property yoss none. Au thoritatively state that the damage probably above a quarter of a billion. Every effort now expended caring for refugees, burning dead. Soldiers pa trol city, military full control, civil authorities lost all control In the ex citement. A steamer reports the dis appearance of the Island Juan Fer nandez, which Robinson Crusoes probably due seismic disturbances. Fate of the islanders Is unknown. Minor shocks continue to present time, not a single building hi the city escaped some amount of damage. Workmen flee from tasks of clearing debris at every slight shock. Believed no damage Is north of 'city. Bank COMPULSORY STAMPING OF ALL BUTTER A number of the grocers of Wnlln Walla, says the Bulletin, have taken np the proposition of presenting a law to the next session oT the legislature, which 'meets In January, to provide Tor the stamping of every roll of but ter with the name of the manufac turer. This method Is followed by practi cally all of the creameries, which either stamp their butter or the wrap pers, fly this plan the retailers are able to account for any short weights which may occur, and the consumer Is provided with a way of knowing whose butter he Is -eating. In the majority of Instances, with regard to country butter, there Is no way of for the consumer to determ ine where the fault lies for short weights or for any Impurities which may be found In this commodity. It Is Just as much of an offense for the farmer or dairyman to sell butter which Is not up to the standard In weight or purity as It Is for the dealer and a law of this character would be a benefit to all parties concerned. 016 FIRE ON WILD At the ranch of Polydore Moens on Wild Horse creek a grain field fire occurred this forenoon, which burned five acres of uncut wheat and dam aged two piles of threshed grain. While it. is not known Just how the fire started it Is believed to have been caused by cinders from the thresher engine which had moved from the place but a short time before. From reports received over the 'phone this afternoon it seems that the thresher had Just finished a setting on the Moens place and the separator moved 4 erection now. Tarapaca Aregentina probably will reopen today. Seeking managers other banks effect agreement. Confusion Indescribable. San Francisco, Aug. 20. Balfour Guthrie & Co. received the following cablegram this morning from Wll liamson Guthrie & Co.; representa tives In Valparaiso; "The Valparaiso earthquakes and fires are the same as yours. The confusion Is Indescriba ble." Wife of Admiral Injured. London, Aug. 20. The Chilean le gation received a dispatch today say ing the loss of life Is great Proper ty damage Is considerable In Valpa raiso, but less at 'Santiago. The distressed are being aided and foreign embassies are helping. Pri vate messages tend to show that Val paraiso did not suffer as much as was first supposed. The heaviest damage was in the western part of the city. The wife of Admiral . Monte was badly Injured' but Is still alive. The known dead In Santiago will number 20. The street railway service will be restored today. Communication with Santiago and Buenos Ayres has been established. Such a law would not only keep up the nsndard of weights, but would also have a tendency to raise the stun rlard of excellency. If every farmer who puts butter on the market were obliged to stamp his name upon the same, it is more than probable tha an effort would be put forth to estab lish a reputation for good butter mak ing. . The state of Idaho has snch a law and ihe producers, dealers and con sumers claim that It has accomplish ed much toward the betterment of conditions In the dairy business. The subject of the enactment of a similar law In Washington will be taken up at the next meeting of the Retail Gro cers association and it Is more than probable that the legislature will be called upon to take action. Bear on Catherine. It was reported here today that a party of campers on Catherine creek recently saw three bears on North Fork. The party failed to get a shot at Messrs. Bruin. La Grande Observer. RORSE GREEK TODAY before the fire occurred. There were two piles of wheat on the place, one containing 800 sacks and the other a smaller amount.

Polydor Moens, owner of the ranch and crop, was notified of the fire Just before noon today, and left at once for the Bcene. The wheat was Insured. MAY HE FLOATED.

Supposed to Be Work of Experts, But They Secured Nothing of Value Burglary Discovered by the Agent Tills Morning" Tlve Safe Was Com pletely IeniolMied Not the Slight est Trace of WIkj- the Perpetrators Were All Well Planned. Athena, Aug. 20. (Special.) At some unknown hour last night the safe In the O. R. & N. ticket office. in this place was blown, apparently by experts working with an amateur out fit. Although the safe was complete ly demolished, the burglars secured nothing more valuable than a small Iron cash box containing some old keyo and a few other (to them) en tlrely valueless articles. The burglary was not discovered until the agent, Mr. Doble, went to work at the usual time this morning, as the depot Is a considerable distance from town or from any habitation. i up ourgiars leu Denina tnem a screw driver and a monkey wrench with which the handle and the .Use had been taken off the safe door. Xitro-glycerlne had been pour ed Into the orifice thus formed, and then exploded. The safe door was blown completely across the room and the safe was completely stripped of Its interior equipment or drawers and casing. The safe was also badly sprung besides losing the door, and Is undoubtedly damaged beyond any pos sibility of repair. The cash box. It Is presumed, was not broken by the ex plosion, or It would not have been taken away, as It contained nothing but old keys and a fe wother value, less articles. It disappeared, doubt less with the burglars, of whom there Is not known the slightest trace. Agent Doble on Saturday night had followed his usual custom of banking all the receipts of the office, and there was no money In the building except $3.80, which was In the cash drawer of the till at the ticket office window, and which was entirely over looked. The remainder of the re ceipts of Sunday Mr. Doble had with him. There are Indications that the job was done with neatness and dispatch, by persons who understood the busi ness, but operated with inferior ap pliances. Bryan Sails for New York. Gibraltar, Aug. 20.

Rockefeller Cuught and Hard Hit by tlio Great Purine Railways Plunger Ircdlction That Harriman Will Hear From Rockefeller Later Hunkers Believe That the Lambs In Tills Slaughter May Recover In the Courts New High Record is Made Today In S. P. Stocks. New York, Aug. 20. The ptlbllc Is In the market on a large scale, com Imtted to the bull side. The Harri man deals cause the prediction that all loose capital will soon be In the stock mnrket if the tendency to spec ulate Is not stopped there will be a panic. There Is comparatively little trading In Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, as Harriman has got them all. It la slad John D. Rockefeller was hard hit by Harriman, and doubtless Harriman will hear from John D. Bankers express the opinion that stockholders Induced to sell may re cover In the courts the difference be tween the price received and the pres ent market price. Southern Pacific has the highest price in Southern today, the opening 10,000 being sold between 91 H and 92 M, which Is now the high record for Southern Pacific, which reached to 90 6-8.

Wyrlck has returned from the mountains, Where he has 4C0 head of cattle grazing In the Weraha re serve. Mr. Wyrlck states that the tops of the higher hills and the tops of the mountains have been grazed quite bare, but that there is still good grass' to be found In abundance in the can yons, but which is not easy of access, although It Is by no means Inaccessi ble. All stock sheep, cattle and horses In the reserve are in first class condition: not only fat, but in the best of health. The browse this year Is fine, the growth being abund ant. The loss by wild animals this year Is less than during any preceding sea son, due, Mr. Wyrlck thinks, simply to tho fact that the bears, cougars and wolves are being killed off and becoming scarcer. Mr. Wyrlck states as his opinion that the reserve is stocked to Its rea sonable limit now that the appor tionment of any greater number of animals than are found therein this season would overstock the feed re serve just that much.
