DEATH IN WRECK.
anta Barbara Street Car Overt tuned
and Five Killed Outright.
Santa Barbara, Cal., April 13. A
street car loaded with passengers re
turning to town from the Old Mission
ran off the track at Garden and Mis
sion streets today and five deaths have
resulted. All of the dead were Santa
Barbara people. Over 20 of the pas
sengers - were injured, many of them
being frightfully mangled. Over half
of the injured had bones broken about
the body and not a few of them suffered
serious fractures of the skull.
The accident was due to a defect in
the brake apparatus, was as revealed
irom an inspection of the car, after the
accident. While the rear brakes were
tightly set against the wheels, the for
ward brakes were of no service because
of the breaking of a part of the gear
ing. The motorman discovered that some
thing was wrong with the car several
blocks above the point where the acci
dent occurred and endeavored to set
the brakes, but failed to check the
speed of the car. At the intersection
of Garden and Mission streets there is a
sharp curve, and the car was moving at
its highest speed down a 5 per cent
grade when the curve was reached.
The car was thrown from the track
upon its side, the passngers being
thrown in evrey direction. One section
of the car was smashed into splinters.

who aided the suffering and dying. A
majority of the injured were taken to
the hospital and the remainder were
removed to their homes.
AUTOS FOR USB IN THE WAR.
First Shipment Started From St. Peters
burg for the Front.
St. Petersburg, April -13. It is stat
ed that the Russian government has
decided to make an extensive - use of
armed automobiles during the coming
campaign in Manchuria. A large
number have recently been imported,
they being the latest product of the se
lect factories in Germany, France and
Belgium, and the first batch will be
sent to the front from Moscow on a
special train today.
They are to be manned by experienc
ed officers drawn from the last gradu
ates from the military, and it is expect
ed that they will be of very great ad
vantage to General Kuzliki, to whom
has been entrusted the making of all of
the arrangements for tne trip of the
Baltic fleet to the Far East, has trans
mitted to the czar the preliminay re
port of what is expected to be accom
plished. He declares that it will be
possible to get the fleet to its destina
tion before the last of August, should
nothing unforseen happen.
Two Rusisan army corps are to be
mobilized during May. One of these
will have headquarters at and will be
drafted from Moscow and the surround
ing towns, while the other will come
from Siberia. The officer who made

did not- consider herself in any danger
from Japan and that therefore she
would not remove any of the troops
along her seaboard where they might
be needed should any other nation have
designs against her.

MONEY TO RIVERS
HOUSE PASSES BILL CARRYING
$3,000,000.
No New Projects Will Be Undertaken
Channels are Only to Be .Maintained
or Restored No Amendments Were
Made Money Becomes Immediately
Available.
Washington, April 13. The house
today passed the bill reported by the
committee on rivers and harbors appro
priating $3,000,000 for the restoration
or maintenance of channels, or for oth
er river and harbor improvements.
Burton (O.), chairman of the commit
tee, in explaining the bill urged the
adoption of settled principles with re
gard to river and harbor work. Bur
gesa (Dem., Tex.) and Ransdell (Dem.,
La.) favored increases in the appropria
tion for river and harbor improvement,
the former urging that they should be
doubled and the latter regarding $100,
000,000 as not too much. -Quite a
large number of bills of minor import
ance were passed.
The house then went into committee
of the whole for the consideration of
t!ie emergency river and harbor bill,
general debate being limited to three
hours. Burton, (O.), in charge of the
bill, made an explanation of it and
gave a general survey of the subject of
river and harbor improvements. He
said the amounts expended for this
purpose, when the vast extent of our
waterways was considered, was very
small. The system pursued in the
United States, he thought, contrasted,
most unfavorably with those of foreign
countries.
The bill then was passed without
amendments. . Under its provisions,
the money appropriated becomes imme
diately available, and is to be expend
ed under the direction, of the secretary
of war and the supervision of the chief
engineers.
DIFFICULTIES OF IRRIGATION.
Geological Survey Points Out Need for
Qreat CIrcumstractlon.
Washington, April 13. The pro
gress made in the irrigation work of
the government is reviewed in a publi
cation issued by the geological suivey,
which points out the necessity for great
caution and conversatism in the expan
sion of the reclamation work. It says
that of the irrigation projects favorably
reported in 1903, which included those
on the Truckee river in Nevada, on the
Salt river in Arizona, on Milk river in
Montana, on the Sweetwater river in
Wyoming and on Gunnison river in
Colorado, the Nevada and Arizona pro
jects have been found feasable and con
struction on the engineering works
along the Truckee and Salt rivers has
progressed to a reasonable extent.
The Montana project, however, has
presented unexpected engineering diffi
culties, as well as complications regard
ing water rights, so that progress is
slow. It has been found necessary to
modify the first plans in order to
achieve early results.
Engineering difficulties are encount
ered in the Colorado project. The
amount of arid lands thereby ieclama
ble is less, too, than was expected.
OPPOSES GENERAL STAFF.
Secretary Moody Gives House Commit
tee His Reasons.
Washington, April 13. Secretary
Moody is riot in favor of the creation of
a general staff in the navy modeled
after the general staff of the organiza
tion in the army. This fact he com
municated to the house committee on
naval affairs today in a hearing granted
him on a bill of his own drafting, "to
increase the efficiency of the navy."
The secretary explained that this bill
did not really enlarge his present au
thority in the matter of an advisory
board. He now has the right to create
such a board of any number of officers
and continue them on the board for any
length of time. He said a civilian
had been, and always would be, at the
head of the navy, and it was proper he
should have expert advice, but as he
was responsible to the country he
should be master of the situation. No
board, he said, should be created which
would usurp the powers of the secre
tary. The committee took no action
on the bill.
Navy to Be Seen in Miniature.
An effort is to be made to have the
attractive collection of United States
battleships in miniature brought to the
Lewis and Clars exposition. One of
the provisions of the appropriation bill
is to the effect that President Roosevelt
may name any additions he may see fit
to the government exhibit and on the
strength of this provision President H.
W. Scott, of the Lewis and Clark cor
poration, will confer with Mr. Roose
velt with a view to inducing him to
send on the reproduction of the United
States navy.
Sure Japan Lost a Chance.
Niu Chwang, April 13. The Russian
officers commanding here openly declare
that Japan has lost her chance to capt
ure this port by failing to .assault be
fore the modern artillery now in place
could be mounted. The defenses are
now declared to be ample to insure the
repulse of any force that can be mus
tered by Japan. An excessive rainfall
has flooded the railway and blocked all
of the roads in Southern . Manchuria,
leaving the country impassable.
Congress to Be Invited to Fair.
Washington, April 13. Congress has
been invited to attend the opening of
the Louisiana Purchase exposition on
Saturday, April 30.
CHINESE WILL BE KEPT OUT.
American Policy Will Continue, No Mat
ter if New Treaty Is Made.
Washington, April 12. In cabinet
meetings and in conference directly be
tween the executive heads of depart
ments the whole subject of the status
oi the Chinese immigration question,
as it will be after the lapse of existing
treaties, has been thoroughly digested,
and it can be stated that the adminis
tration feels that it has ample warrant
for continuing to enforce the rigid pro
visions of the the Chinese exclusion
act regardless of the denunciation of
the treaty. So far from opening the
door to Chinese immigration, the lapse
of the treaty, will, it is said, actually
render the entrance of Chinese into
this country more difficult than while
the treaty remained in force.
This fact has been pointed out to the
Chinese government by Mr. Conger,
who has not yet abandoned the effort
to induce the Chinese government to
reconsider its denunciation. However
it is positively stated that the exclusion
laws will continue to be emorced after
December next, whether the treaty
expires or not.
Attorney General Knox has undei
consideration the question of the valid
ity of the exclusion law of 1902 in view
of the denunciation of the treaty, and
he will prepare and submit to the pres
ident an opinion on the subject. Both
the president and the attorney general
have discussed the matter with mem
bers of congress. It is being consid
ered, too, by members of both branches
of congress, and if it is deemed neces
sary some legislative action wiji be
taken on it before adjournment. If it
should be concluded that the denuncia
tion of the treaty by China would ren
der inoperative existing laws regarding
Chinese exclusion, the probable course
of action will be to attach to one of the
pending appropriation bills an amend
ment forcing the exclusion of Chinese.
Members of congress are generally
agreed that no difficulties will be ex
perienced in passing the legislation if
it should be regarded as necessary.
JAPAN TO HAVE FINB SHIPS.
Vessels Ordered In England Will Be
Ahead of Those of That Country.
London, April 12.. The two new bat
tleships ordered in England by Japan
will be exceedingly powerful, their
length, 445 feet, exceeding that of the
most powerful British battleships by
20 feet. In order to meet the capacity
of docking accommodations, the beam
and draught have been fixed at 78 feet
and 26 feet respectively. Each will
have a displacement of 16,400 tons. $
Their main batteries, it is. said, will
be the most powerful yet devised, con
sisting of four 12-inch guns, four 10
inch and five 6-inch guns each. The
armored belt at the water line will be
nine inches thick with six-inch armor
continuing to the level of the deck. A
rew feature will be a superstructure of
four-inch armor, insuring that no part
of the upper works will be unprotected .
In. addition to the two battleships
actually ordered, Japan is contemplat
ing two more vessels of that description
to be built here.
Formal orders for two battleships
were placed by Japan with Vickers,
Maxim & Armstrong January 30, the
orders being to expedite their construc
tion as speedily as possible. They are
to have a speed of 19 knots and will be
able to discharge 11 tons of projectiles
per minute from their main batteries.
HISTORIC OAK PLANTED.
Roosevelt and Hitchcock Place Tree in
Ground That Sprang From Acorn.
Washington, April 11. A historic
oak was planted by President Roosevelt
and Secretary of the Interior Hitch
cock this evening in the yard to the
east of the White House. The little
tree was grown from an acorn that Mr.
Hitchcock picked up from beneath an
oak on the grounds of the Peterhof
palace in Russia. The' Russian oak
was grown from an acorn that came
from the tree that sheltered Washing
ton's tomb at Mount Vernon. The
spade that was used in the ceremony at
the White House this evening will be
preserved as a memento of the occasion.
On its blade will be painted a legend
detailing the circumstances of the tree
planting.
New Capital of Philippines.
Chicago, April 12. Plans for the
new capital of the Philippines were
made known today by Secretary of War
Taft. Secretary Taft said : "The new
capital will be about 15 miles from
Manila, on a plot of ground over 5,000
feet above the sea level, which will
make it far more healthy for Ameri
cans. It is to be to the Philippines
what what Simla is to India, and will
be of great benefit to the islands. The
climate is superb, the location good and
the new opportunities for men with
capital will be very great."
Niu Chwang Defenses Strong.
Niu Chwang, April 10, f ia Chefoo,
China, April 12. General Kouropatk
in's visit to Niu Chwang has inspired
boundless confidence. The commander
in chief ordeied 10,000 reserves to re
inforce this position, in view of the ex
pected Japanese attack, while an ad
ditional force of 15,000 mer is ready
to concentrate upon this place at
short notice, if necessary. . Ii is esti
mated now that there are 400 000 Rus
sian troops in Manchuria.
Biscuit Factory Employes to Strike.
New York, April 12. A general
strike of the employes of the National
biscuit company's factory in this city
has been ordered because of alleged dis
crimination against union men. About
300 workmen attended the meeting at
which the strike was decided upon,
but at least 1,000 will be thrown out
of work.
Happenings here in Oregon
GOLD FIND IN CROOK COUNTY.
CUoe - Butte Contains a Mass of Gold
Bearing Rock.
Bend Cline Butte, 15 miles north
of Bend, has been found to contain a
large mass of gold bearing rock. The
whole butte is supposed to be of the
eame character and there has been quite
a rush to locate claims there. There is
room, however, for less than a dozen
mining claims on this butte, but a sim
ilar geological formation extends
through a string of hills to the west
ward and prospecting is in progress
there.
The rock is porphyry and quartizite
and it carries about $4 in gold and a
little silver to, the ton. This surface
outcrop is considered very promising.
The ease with which this rock can be
mined gives it value, even at this low
grade. It is estimated that at least
half its value will be profit. The rock
is of the same kind that is found in
the Ochoco mines, northeast of Prine
ville. This discovery was made by Otto
Retzlaff and C. P. Becker, the latter
having spent a year and a half on the
Yukon, where he became acquainted
with gold mining. Steps are being
taken to develop the Cline Butte claims.
HEAVY FIRE LOSSES.
Shown by Annual Report of Insurance
Commissioner Dunbar.
Salem An increase of over 10 -per
cent in the fire insurance business, a
decrease of 17 per cent in net premi
ums on fire insurance, an increase of
18 per cent in both business and net
premiums in life insurance, and the
withdrawal of all but three surety com
panies, are the most prominent features
of the annual report of Insurance Com
missioner F. I. Dunbar.
The report covers the year 1903, and
was compiled on April 1. as required
by law. Though the report shows the
healthy industrial growth of the state,
as indicated by the increasing fire in
surance business, it also shows the de
creasing profits caused by unusual fire
losses. In the past five years the
amount of fire risks written per year
has increased about 50 per cent. In
1899 the total as $64,100,000. In 1903
it as $95,500,000. The net premiums
for 1903 are less than in 1902, or for
any other year since 1898. The fire
losses for 1902 were $659,000 and for
1903 $1,314,000, or an increase of
almost 100 per cent. Seven companies
lost money last year on their insurance
business in Oregon.
TO TAP TIMBBR BELTS.
Oregon & Southeastern to Again Begin
Construction.
Cottage Grove That the Oregon &
Southeastern railroad may be extended
into virgin timber lands, construction
work is to be renewed after an interval
of four months.
A grading gang will start at once and
a tracklaying gang will follow in a few
days. G. B. Hengen, of New York,
manager of the road, says the line will
be extended this season to Warehouse,
ten miles from here. Two miles of
grade are now almost ready for the
track.
Manager Hengen declares that the
depressed lumber situation will not
long continue, and wishes to have the
road extended into new timber belts to
take advantage of a livlier market.
The new electric plant of the Oregon
securities company will be commenced
this week, Manager Hengen says. A
gang is now connecting the machine
drills in the long tunnel. The com
pany expects to strike the Champion
ore chute in about 30 days from this
tunnel, which will be used later for an
electric roack from the Champion to the
Iifusick mine.
Indians Have a Whole nonth.
Pendleton The Umatilla Indians,
whose diseased cayuses brought the

vided at Pendleton by the domestic an
imal commission of the state, and the
Indians must have their animals here
before May 1. A simillar opportunity
is extended white men with mangy
horses. The expense of dipping will
be paid by the state.
