3J ling ham. 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

to New York.
LIverDOOI. Sept. 6. With a full
passenger list the new 25-knot tur
bine Cunard liner Lusltnnla will leave
Jvernool tomorrow morning oh her
maiden trip to New York. The Lu-
sitanla presents many novel features
and' on her first trip will carry a
umber of government engineers and
experts representing practically all
the big transatlantic IITieB, who are
desirous of seeing tor themselves how
the mammoth ship win acquit herself
on her flrBt trip acrotB 'the Sea.
To begin with the Lusltanla will
afford the first Teal test of her tur-
pines as applied to the fast 'transat
lantic filers. The Germans and oth
ers have been experimenting with the
turbines and have seen them In use
In small croft and In large vessels like
the Carmanla and the Allan liners,
but the Lusltanla Ib the first monBter
steamship to use them for the devel
opment VT great Tspeed.
In addition to her turbine equip
ment the Lusltanla presents many
novel features. She has accommoda
tions tor 1200 passengers and a crew
of 800. Family suites, elevators and
telephones, nursery, gymnasium.
TnrltWh, vapor and needle baths, are
special 'features. Regal suits con
sisting of two bedrooms, a dining
room, reception room and a bath
room, have been provided for those
who care to pay the price. All the
apartments are i ten and a half feet

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.

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." MOST BE TRIED OUT

The first week of the new school
year at St. Joseph's academy, which
closes this evening, gives promise of
tne nest year ever enjoyed at this
pioneer institution.
The attendance started at over 100
which Is extraordinary, considering
the larger number of school patrons
yet In the country. The number of
boarding scholars to begin with was
34, which has Increased during the
e to aoout 40, and which will
srow to over 100 within a short time,
fudging from the large number of ap-
lications now being received from
Umatilla and adjoining counties.
Eight teachers are employed in the
academy. The musical end art de
partments are made special features
and students are given special atten
tion In those departments. The dor
mitory is alBO given special attention
and children boarding at the acade
my are constantly under the super
vision of teachers. '
It will be necessary to Increase the
dormitory facilities of the academy
to accommodate the Increasing de
mands upon It. Large numbers of ap
plications are now on hand from
every eastern Oregon county and it Is
evident that an unusually large out
side attendance will be enjoyed by
the academy this year. .
WANT A RACE TRACK.
r
Local Horsemen Will Revive Plan to

of the City.
A number of local horsemen ire
talking of reviving the plan to bu'.ld
a race trirck on the hill south of the
city for the purpose of holding a race
meet simultaneously with the county
fair. There are a largo number of
fine horses which would be available
for such a meet nnd It could be made
a highly attractive feature In connec
tion with the fair while conducted
entirely separate from the fair.
Aside from horse races, It would
now be possible to hold a series of
automobile races with the number of
machines In this county, and much
Interest Is expressed In the matter.
The striking machinists of the
mines at Butte have turned down an
offer of $4.75 per day, Insisting up
on their original demand for $5 per
