State.

of Duly In Not Arresting Fugitives

American Town and Brought Tlielr

City of Mexico, July 3. Mexico will
City of Mexico, July 4. Mexico will
ask the United States to punish se
verely the local authorities of Del
Rio, Texas, and possibly others of the
state under whose authority they
acted. The grounds will be that the
officers knowingly failed In their duty
by allowing persons who partook In
the Las Vegas raid to ride onto the
Texas side of the river uninterrupted
and to bring with them their wound
ed, runlxhment may also be asked
for the authorities and police of Del
Rio fof allowing meetings to be helil
there for the purpose of fomenting
and planning raids, murder and rob
bery In Mexico.
I The latter request, however, will be
contingent upon Investigations not yet
completed which have for their pur
pose the ascertaining of the amount of
knowledge which the police of Del Rio
had of the meetings.
This new phase of the International
side of tho trouble on the northern
Mexico border was made known to.
day by Minister Marlscal of the for
elgn relations department.
Hud Faith Siisxvted.
Bad faith toward Mexico by the
state of Texas in the recent trouble
Is very strongly suspected by the Mex
ican government.
The action of Washington has been
the very best," said Minister Marls
cal today. "Not only has the United
States government shown Itself
willing and eager to assist Mexico hut
took quick steps to move troops to tho
border, evincing a feeling of friendli
ness which cannot be questioned but
admired.
The sincerity of Texas," he declar
ed, "appears to be another matter.
Our doubts In regard to Texas have
begun to Increase with developments,
The failure of local authorities to ar
rest these men on the ground that
their offense was political in my mind
has no tenable excuse. No absolute
decision has been reached as to
whether complaints will bo made be
cause the facts In the case have not
thoroughly panned out nnd there are
other Important matters for atten
tion, but I am strongly inclined to
believe that complaints will be made
and punishment asked for."
The minister called attention to tho
fact that about 100 men held a scries
of meetings In Del Rio which could
hardly have taken place In secrecy. A
large number of raiders also returned
to Del Rio after the troubles, and
carried with them wounded men, an
act that could hardly have'becn per
formed In secret.
Will Demand Extradition.
Mexico will probably ask for the
extradition for a portion of the raid
crs. In this regard Minister Marlscal
stated thnt tho Mexican government
will wait until tho American govern
ment has dealt with those offenders
whose delinquencies comes under the
head of Infraction of the neutrality
laws. He will now ask for those
whose acts were wholly criminal, who
should be punished here.
"AH the acts performed by the
raiders of Las Cacas and of Polomas
were those which are defined In tho
extradition treaty between the- two
countries," declared Minister Marlscal.
He said:
"Every claim for a political color
ing to their work of robbery, murder
and destruction of private and gov
ernment property was contrary to
reason and facts. They had no plan,
no chief and rfo purpose other than
to appease the grievance of a few dis
contents who Inveigled these poor,
simple' people Into becoming their
tools."
Minister Marlscal stated that trou
ble Is now entirely over.

New York, July 4. Final plans
for the Institution of the government's-
suit against the so-called
powder trust are now being made.
There will be a consultation of the
lawyers on both sides this week at
Wilmington, Del., and arrangements
made for the hearings which will I

The powder companies under atack
are capitalized at about $100,000,000.
The Denemours company, of New
Jersey and Delaware Is the largest
of the powder conceruns under fire.
The government alleges that this
company Is the holding concern for
about 70 smaller ones, all In the
powder business, and that prices are
directed by the holding company. It
Is alleged by the government that
they are acting In restraint of trade
and In violation of the Sherman anti-trust
law. A special examiner will

C. B. Stewart of the Utah Woolgrow-
ers received a telegram announcing
that the price of wool has advanced
to 20 cents a pound In Boston, which
would mean about 17 cents a pound

But there Is little wool loft In tho
hands of the sheepmen, with the ex
ception of the clips that were placed
In storage.
From the chief eastern wool mar
kets the report has been received that
consignments have censed nnd that
the dealers are buying anything In the
way of staple.
The Interest In the wool situation
has been transferred from the west to
the eastern wool market.
Sales In Boston alone during the
past vweek amounted to 2,000,000
pounds. It Is said that both denlers
and manufacturers are now eager to
buy and the indications are that there
will be a continued upward move
ment In the price of wool.
With tho exception of Montana and
other sections, where tho shearing is
late, this year's clipping has been
completed.
The amount of tho wool produced is
no longer a mntter of guesswork. It
Is said that this year's clip contains
a smaler percentage of staples than
last year's clip.

NO MORE ROUSING SPREES.
Rip Van Winkle Sheclicrdor Find
Saloon Doors Locked.
The La Grande Star tells the fol
lowing story of .a Rip Van Winkle
sheopherder who came In for a spree:
A sheepherder from Wallowa
county who has been out In a camp
for the past year and a half, thinking
to have a high old time, came down
to La Grande night before last. Tired
and thirsty he hied at once to one of
his old hangouts and stepping up to
the door was greatly surprised to find
that It was securely locked.
Not to be fooled, however, he went
to one pr two others, but the same
fate was In store for him. Finally he
spunked up courage to ask some one
what was the matter and was In
deed surprised on hearing that all he
could Ret to quench his thirst was a
glass of mineral water. '
"Not for mine," said Rip Van Win
kle. "Me for hlttlntr the hleh noia"
He disappeared, but tonight he Is
back In Ln-Grande nnd "on the un.
ter wagon" right. It seems that he
decided Just before the westbound
train came In to go to Pendleton,
where he could surely get some of the
redeye. He got there and wiu
'handed the knock out" riuht from
the shoulder. "Me for the sheep camp"
s the only thing you can now get out
of him.
Peter .West.
It would seem that Peter West, the
Pendleton divorce lawyer, would have
been a better representative to Den-
er than to the G. A. R. encampment
at Toledo. He has a reputation for
ntwlstlng snarls and settling unpleas-
nt disputes, and it Is thought he
might make the dove of peace hover
over Bryan and Alton B. Parker. And
If he failed In that he might draw up
the papers for an absolute divorce of
the "conservatives" from the Bryan
lenient. Baker City Herald.

Building and lTogress In Full
Swing.
Federal Building (70,000
City hall 30,000
Levee Improvements 19,000
Cemetery Improvements 5,000
Now that the levee contract has
been awarded Pendleton will soon
have a greater amount of public im
provement work under way than it
has ever had before in the history of
the city, for, as shown above practi
cally 125,000 is to be spent here this
summer for that purpose.
Work on the city hall building Is
now well under way but the building
is not yet 20 per cent completed. It
is estimated that it will require un
til January 1 to finish the building
and have it ready for occupancy.
Bids for a site for the new federal
building are to be opened by the treas
ury department July 15 and it is un
derstood that 'the contract for the
erection of the building will be let
soon afterwards.
On the same date, July 15, the pip
ing and other material for the ceme
tery watering system is slated to ar
rive here. As soon as It comes ac
tual construction work on the plant
will commence. Under the contract
which the city has with W. A. Fin
noil, who will construct the reservoir
and lay the piping, he must compleU
his work by September 15.
In the contract let last night to W,
C. Betts it Is not specified when work
must be undertaken. However, Betts
Is given only until November 15 to

will begin at once in order to finish
the work before high water ensues

On the Reservation.
But the reservation celebration has
proven the greatest drawing card for
local people. Especially to new com
ers do the Indians appeal, for all
want to see the redskins decked in
their war bonnets and paint
Every available livery rig and
every automobile In the city has been
pressed Into use today to take people
to the reservation. The Christian In
dians are holding a camp meeting at
the old agency grounds, while the re

STUDENTS ON FIRE PATROL.
Crew of University of Idalio Boys In
Bitter Root Reserve.
A crew of 11 University of Idaho
students has been selected by Forest
Supervisor F. "A. Fenn to compose
one of the forest ranger crews that
will be engaged in fire patrol and
trail construction work in the Bitter
Root forest reserve this summer, says
the Lewlston Teller.
The selection of the university crew
by Major Fenn Is largely experimen
tal, but ' if successful the forest re
serve work will afford employment
for hundreds of students during the
summer season. The regular ranger
enlistment Is given employment dur
ing the entire year, but the fire hazard
and general reserve Inspection de
mands many extra men during the
summer season, when harvest employ
ment nd other work offers better
wages than Is paid by the forestry de-
partment.' If this work can be suc
cessfully carried on by the young
men of the educational Institutions,
the benefits to the department and
the students themselves will be mu
tual, and Superintendent Fenn will
have solved a problem which has per
plexed the department for many
years.
Telegraph Taxes.
On a 60 per cent valuation the
Western Union Telegraph Company
will pay taxes to the state of Wash
ington this year on $376,350, or at the
rate of $45.02 a mile. The Postal
company will pay on a valuation of
$45,702, or $32,52 per mile.
Stealing Sheep.
A large number et Montenegrins

DAI COWS HAVE
TUBERCULOSIS
Dr. W. G. Cole Makes Start-
ling Announcement Con
cerning Pendleton Cows,
CITY COUNCIL WILL
PROBABLY INVESTIGATE
City Physician Says From Ten to Thir
ty Per Cent of Local Milk Producer
Are Infected Willi Great White
Plague Federal Bureau of Animal
Industry Will Make Tests If Exam
ination Is Ordered by Council
Same Conditions Found to Exist In
Washington.
Dr. W. G. Cole, city physician, if
now planning a campaign against the
dairy cows that are affected with tu
berculosis and If the doctor's recom
mendations are acted upon by the-
city council there Is to be -something
doing along the line of bettering the
city's milk supply.
That from 10 to 30 per cent of the
dairy cows supplying milk to this city
are affected wth tuberculosis is be
lieved by Dr. Cole. It would not be
surprising If this were found to be
true for a recent Investigation In the.
state of Washington showed that 20
per cent of the dairy cattle there were
so affected. It Is also known that the
situation in Oregon is as bad If not
worse than in the Evergreen state.
"It has been scientifically demon
strated that bovine tuberculosis !s
transmlssabie to the human and I be
lieve by far the greater number of
consumptive cases come from milk
from tubercular cows," declared Dr.
Cows today. "I believe that If dairy
cows were regularly inspected and
all tubercular animals killed there
would son be an end to tuberculosis
among people."
Acting upon this belief Dr. Cole
will recommend to the city councih
that an inspection of the local dairy-
cows be made and that the local of
fice of the bureau of animal Industry
be asked to assist In the work.
Yesterday Dr. Cole addressed a let
ter to Dr. McClure, in charge of the
federal quarantine work, asking him
if he can have his men make an in
spection as is desired. Though he has
not formally replied Dr. McClure has
strongly indicated that if the city will
take the matter .up he will have his
men make the Inspection and that
without cost.
In testing for tuberculosis the tu
berculine test Is used. It Is adminis
tered as an Injection and If the ani
mal has tuberculosis Its temperature
rises three or four degrees, while if
the animal Is free from the ailment
the tuberciillne has no effect.
"NEAR BEER" FOR PENDLETON
Walla Walla Brewers Will Furnish
Mock Booze.
Pendleton will not be "dry" today.
Not by any manner of means, for by
the time the afternoon train pulls out
for the Oregon city which has been
held In death-like grip by the demon,
Thirst, for the past two days, there
will be an ample quantity of "Near
beer" on' the platform at the O. R. &
N. depot, consigned to soft drink deal
ers there, says the Walla Walla Union.
It will be good news to the Ore
gonians, without doubt, but Pendleton
will not be alone In her enjoyment cf
the "made in Walla Walla" product,
for It is the Intention to supply all
cities In Oregon where there Is apt to
be a call for the new non-Intoxicating
Deverage.
The carbonating machinery ordered
some time ago by the Betz Brewing
company, arrived In the city yester
day, and is being set up preparatory
to manufacturing a large amount cf.
"Near-beer" this forenoon. '
The head brewers of the two local
establishments recently returned from
the east, where they went t take in
struction as to the manufacture of
the new beverage, and it is reported
that the new machinery will be placed
In operation early tomorrow morning.
But little, if any, of the prohibition
drink Is to be sold in Walla Walla,
for the reason that It might tend to
injure the business of local liquor
d eaters who, are required to secure a
license ' for the sale of the ordinary
beer. - That locavpeople would wel
come the new drink has been evident
from the number of telephone calls
which have been received by the two
breweries during the past two weeks,
asking for information as to when the
manufacture of "near beer" was to be
taken up In Walla Walla. '
