Wash., Sept. 6. One hundred and thirty-five Hindus, ter rorized by the mobB which gathered .about the mills of this city, have left. There are now only 125 Hindus here, and these are vociferous In explana tion that they are only delaying their .deoarture in order to collect tneir .wages. The rioting has ended. Six -Hindus In Hospital. -Kolllngham, Sept. 6. Six badly Ibeaten Hindus are In the hospitals. and 400 frightened, half naked Sikhs .are In Jail and In the corridors of the city hall, guarded by policemen, and somewhere between Belllngham and the British Columbia line are 150 na tives of India, beaten, hungry, naked and halt clothed, making their way along the Canadian Pacific for Brit ish territory and the protection of the British flag. The long expected has occurred and "drive out the Hindus" was heard through the city and along the water front last night. Within five hours half a thousand whites raided the mills, where the blacks were working, battered down doors of lodging houses sheltering the foreigners, dragged the Invaders from their beds, beating them and ordering them to quit the city Immediately. The .pollre were helpless. Several Hindus were pulled-fro the water, where they had sought refuge, and from under the docks on Wie tide-flats. Some of the bruised and bleeding were sent to the hoi pllcl. The police Induced the mob to let the. undesirables be taken to Jail, and this suggestion wus hulled with de light by the mob. The strategic move probably saved roony from a worse condition. Four women are among the refuges In the city building. T.nclal feeling had small part In the affair, the labor question being pre. dominant. The Hindus, who are bold and Insolent, replaced the whites In the mills. Their attitude toward white women aroused resentment among the citizens, many ladies and young sglrls being pushed from the sldewtilks and 'insulted while riding In street ars. The Intense feeling broke out last night :and the mob was formed. The Hindus are British subject and 'the case has been placed before the British authorities, and may take on hiteniatlonal Importance. FHy armed special police are on duty today, and the blacks will be glv on protection. The Hindus ore thor oughly frightened and are leaving for the British side. Mob feeling Is still rampant. Rush 'for Land Expected. The 6,000 acres to be thrown open for flllrrg in -the Wallowa forest re serre on the iflrst of October, will cause a -rush of entrymen from this county to secure some fine claims to be had by this reserve opening. There are already a number of squatters on the land north of Wallowa, but there seefs to be some question ns to wheth er their rights will be considered when the day of opening arrives. There are also a number of locators who have cruised out the best claims anxiously waiting for the day of opening. Wal Iowa Sun.

THE NORTHWEST TUAXKCEXDAXT INTEREST AXI GREAT IMPORTANCE. Raw Sagebrush Ijmds of Two nnd Three Yearn Ago Now Worth From $100 to $300 Per Acre Immense Proflts In Short Iciurth of TIiim Eastern Oregon Has Peculiar Ad- vaiiliigt'H. "The hope of the northwest lies In her irrigation development," said Fred Lockley of the Pacific Month ly, to the East Oregonlan today, after s two months' tour of Investigation and statistic-gathering among the big irrigation projects nnd Irrigation dis tricts of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana. Mr. Lockley says that the Irriga tion development, the advances In the price of Irrigated land and the won derful yields In the Irrigated sections all over ithe northwest, are truly mar velous. 3n Washington, Idnho, Mon tana and eastern Oregon he finds land which was raw sagebrush land two and three years ago, now under cultivation, growing two and three crops of aKatfa and worth all the way from tlOO to $300 per acre. In no other Industrial pursuit In the northwest are people making such handsome profits as In Irrigated fruit farms. In the Wenatchee valley fruit growers are actually making from $300 to $500 per acre per year In net profits from apple growing. Raw land Is converted Into highly produc tive farms wlthVn an Incredibly short time and men who were In poverty a few years ago are now orchard princes with elegant homes, well Improved farms, large bank accounts and hand some Incomes. This Irrigation development Is not confined to any particular locality, but all over the northwest 1s seen the same activity In reclamation of the deserts. Eastern Oregon presents even a better field for this develop ment than any other section of the northwest, because of the favorable climate, low altitude, excellent trans portation facilities and other advan tages not enjoyed elsewhere. Mr. Lockley will write several ar ticles on the subject of Irrigation de velopment for future numbers of the Pacific Monthly and will tell some en tertaining stories of quick fortunes made from the uninviting deserts within a few years. He came In last night on No. 6 from Caldwell, Idaho, and will leave for Ms home In Portland today. Trans-Atlantic Rntc Wnr. New York, Sept 6.

EXTRA DIVIDEND ON THE BURLINGTON FOR RELIEF Later In the Month Immense Obliga tions Incurred by Other Systems Become Due and Will Tend to En courage the Bear Movement In All Stocks, About That Time Coper Market Depressed, While the Iron Market Is Strong J .J. Hill Rises to Remark.' New York, Sept. 6. The bad news which has been supposed to be hang ing over the stock market eventu ated last evening In the announce ment of a failure of a stock exchange house, after which the Burlington extra dividend declaration came as a buoyant from the weakness which had been In evidence yesterday and early today. This Is the first failure of a stock exchange firm which has occurred through all the drastic contraction of values of securities of the spring and summer a record which has been the subject of, surprise. That trou ble which pulled the firm down was not of the Immediate past, was the general supposition, surmise pointing to the shrinkage of some of the north western railroad group among the earliest In the severe decline as' the origin of the embarrassment. The Incident called attention to the fact that an installment of three mil lion dollars of Great Northern sub scrlptlons Is payable tomorrow and revived to consideration the recur rent requirements for capital already subsided, but not paid. On Septein ber 20 there is paynble the final in- stallment on the Union Pacific con vertible bonds which will call for $37,500,000. It was intimated today that there would he no extension by the syndicate which underwrites this bonds, and also that only a small por tion of the syndicate's holdings has been marketed. In October again there will be due 11,540,000 for sub scriptions to Northern Pacific stork. No small parts of uneasiness preval ent In the stock market has been due to the knowledge of the difficulties Involved In finding resources for meeting accruing calls of this kind i by reason of the tight money mar ket. The special weakness of the Hill stocks In the early dealings on ac count of the failure was supplemented by depression In the commer stocks. There was another break In the prices of copper In London and feel ing was not settled as to the stability of the price of copper here on the level of this week. On the other hand, advices from the Iron trade were encouraging. The easier tone of time money was still evident but rates for call loan's were slightly suf fer. The extra dividend on Burlington stock confirmed rumors many times renewed In the past of an Intended' melon cutting for the Hill Etoekhold, ''1 but the Increase in the regular dividend was a surprise. The an nouncement coming in the midst of the unfavorable influences of the stock exchange firm's failure on the.'e stocks, caused a violent upward reaction and turned the whole mar ket buoyant. In which stale It re mained until the close. Bonds were firm, total sales par values $972,000. United StateB 4s declined quarter on call. .Concerning the extra dividend on the Burlington stock, J. J. Hill said; "Northern Pacific and Great North ern have had Burlington for about six years and during this time Bur lington has not paid the carrying charges of joint four per cent bonds to the extent of one per cent per an num, and therefore to equalize this deficiency six per cent additionad has been declared on Burlington stock. The annua) report of 1907 will show that the Burlington has had the best year In Its history. The additional dividend on Burlington stock will contribute about $3,250,000 apiece to the treasuries of Great Northern Pa cific. This Is equivalent to more than two per cent on the capital stock of Great Northern and Northern Pa cific."
