SENATOR M'BRIDE'S FAITHFU
SERVICE.
He Haa Already Spent Three Monthe
of His Vacation Attending to
Matters of Importance to
the State of Oregon.
Washington, D. C, June 1st
Senator McBride haa spent nearly
three months in Washington since
adjournment, attending to busi
ness before departments. The
other evening I found him looking
over bills, resolutions and amend
ments, introduced by him during
the 55th congress, selecting for re
introduction such measures as he
thinks proper to again offer for
action. At my request for infor
mation he placed his papere at my
disposal and from them I gather
this interesting reoord of the la
bors for two years of a senator in
congress.
, Daring the 55th congress, Sena.
tor MoBride introduced 99 original
msHBures and the Congressional
Record shows that of these 26
passed the senate io regular order,
while 5 of these and 8 other bills
passed the senate as amendments
to appropriation and other bills so
that 36 of Lis measures passed the
senate in some form.
Also two house bills were passed
that were identical with his senate
bills, making 36 measures passed
by the senate.
But of all the bills that passed
the senate only 8 passed the house
aa separate acts, leaving 17 of the
senate bills not acted on at time of
J . ,.
adjournment une or. tnese was
bill 344, to pension yetrans of early
Indian wars ia Oregon and Wash
ington. The senator feels confi
dend th.it this will pass the home
next seat-ion, as Air. Tongue has
worked hard for it and has assur
ances that it will be favorably con
sidered in the near future.
Among 13 bills passed as amend
ments were several private claims
that have passed the senate time
and again; also, claims for $355,000
expense incurred ia war for the
union, whioh item was only reject
ed because the house would not
permit the "omnibus claims bill"
to exceed a certain amount. The
justice of the claim was not ques
tioned; so the just claims of Ore
gon, California and Nevada were
arbitrarily thrown out, though it is
believed they will in time be paid.
After the senate had passed two
bills for a quarantine at the mouth
of the Columbia river, that the
bouse would not pass as' a seperate
bill, Senator McBride introduced
the item as an amendment, or
rider, to the sundry civil appropri
ation bill, and it passed. The
steam launch at the mouth of the
Columbia was passed in the same
way, after the house bad defeated
it as a separate bill.
An important amendment passed
by the senate provided for selec
tion by the state of lands outside
of forest reservations in lieu of
granted lands within the reserve;
this was suggested by State Land
Agent T. W. Davenport, as valua
ble to the state. The house con
ferees declined to accept in time
and before the December session
such lands which will be mostly
purcb used at the minimum price.
Senate bill 747 was a bill for the
relief of certain settlers within the
limits of railroad grants. It will
benefit thousands who settled
along the Northern Pacific and the
Oiegonand California lines, and
whose grants were forfeited, as it
will repay them $125 of the $2.50
they have paid for I hose lands.
The senator expects to reintroduce
and get a favorable report early
next session.
Another measure of interest to
the Pacific coast, gained by an
amendment, was in the consular
and diplomatic bill, providing for
a consulate at Vladiyostoc, Russia,
where a good trade can be built
up to be of value to the Pacific
Northwest. We already have
shipped much there, and this
should result in increased trade
with Russia, Thesg facts ell1)
how a faithfal aiid capable con
gressman can be at work in season
and out of season to benefit his
state and section.
ihe senator says that many of
the bills introduced that failed in
the last congress will now be laid
aside, as the matters involved have
gone by. He has now ready to in
troduce, 58 bills,' some entirely new
and some received from last ses
sion, as ' senate ' 344, to amend act
granting pensions to survivors in
Indian wars 1832 to 1842. Also
senate 747,to amend act for relief of
settlers on publio lands and repay
ment of fees, purchase money, etc.
benate 1141, to reimburse Cali
fornia, Oregon and Nevada for
moneys expended in suppression
of rebellion, is a bill the senator has
sentimental interest in, as, when
secretary of state, he devoted sev
eral years to preparing' proof to
support these claims, and finally
succeeded iu getting the board of
military examiners to accept the
entire claims of $335,000, except
$82, without vouoher.
Senate 1756, is for payment of
California, Oregon and Washington
war claims of 1855-6, as found due
by commissioners General 1 Ruf us
Ingalls, Captain A. J. Smith and
disallowed by 3rd auditor of treas
ury in 1850. This measure will
interest many as they rendered
service and furnished supplies I
that were never reimbursed.
Senate 4708, extends the bonding
privelege to ABtoria, also that
goods can be shipped iu bond to
other ports on the ; United StateB.
During the 55th congress Senator
McBride had to bear the entire
burden of looking out for the in
terests of his state, while the tar
iff bill was under dieoussion dur
ing the extra session in '97. What
this involved can be inferred when
we remember that lumber, wool,
fruit, cattle, sheep, hops, etc., etc.
all needed protection, and to do
justice required severe study of
the business situation and of the
special interests of Oregon and
Washington.
But there was nothing of more
mporlance to our state than to
secure appropriations for rivers
and harbors and improvements
obtained in the river ' and harbor
bill by Senator McBride by virtue
of his position as a member of the
oomittee on commerce in the sen.
ate.
These measures so engrossed
the senator's time that on adjourn
ment of congress he found an im
mense amount of business to be
attended to before the Depart
ments. This has occupied his
time until now. These matters
ncluJe establishment of quaran
tine station, for which temporary
service has begun and permanent
establishment follows, as soon as
title to site can be secured. The
ightofwayfor boat railway at
he Dulles, and work on that
be senator has been urging the
department of Justice to secure
titles so work can begin.
Ue expresses satisfaction that
everything had been done that is
possible and only remains for the
engineer officers in Oregon to com
plete negotiations with the O. R.
N. company for change of
tracks. After this, there is no
reason why work should not go
ahead.

Maaafactare of Flax Tow.
The Walla Walla Statesman says: Mr.
W. F. Board man, of San Fraooisoo, and
Mr. E. E Larimore, of Portland, are in
the city for the pnrpose of disposing of
stock in a company organized to manu
facture flax tow from flax straw, for mak
ing grain bags, etc. Oar people will re
member the experiment wbiob was re
cently male at the penitentiary, and
also kno of the successful outcome.
Mr. Larimore is manager of the Ameri
can Linseed Go and slate that bis com
pany has 30,000 acres of fUx uoder con
tract it Washington, Oregon and Idaho,
It la to nse the fibre from this acreage
that the proposed company ia to be
or(tanizd. The only diffionlty in the
way so far ia that the penitentiary ap
propriation is parlioalarly for jute, aod
under the law it is thought flax tow
must not tie od, although it is stronger,
oheiper and bMer in every respect, as
has bo proved, and the jute machinery
oan easily bi ecUptd I r its maoatao
tore. The opinion of the attorn; -general
baa been requested on this momeo
one subjeot, and a the Statesman con
siders the word "Jnte" nnneceeeay and
merely a legal ironnloality it is to be
hoped, in the interest of proJaoere, that
deoision will be favorable,
OVERLAND TKAIN HELD OP.
Point Near Wilcox, Wyoming, Wag the Scene
of the Bobbery.
Denver, Colo., Jane 2. A epeoial Io
the Times from Cheyenne, Wyo., Bays:
At 4 o'olook this morning the Udiod
Paoiflo mail and express train No. 1, was
held op one and ooe balf miles from
Wilcox station, ia this state, by six
masked men, evidently professionals,
who blew open the sate of the express
oar and carried away all its contents.
The mail was not touched, on aooonnt
of the faot thai four armed mill clerks
were in charge.
The mail and express rnna as first
section of No. 1 overland limited. The
second section follows only five minutes
behind. A bridge two miles from the
scene of the robbery was fired to prevent
the second section from coming np dur
ing opperationa. A bridge in front
was dynamited. The trainmen were all
oovered with rifles and the robbers took
their time. The value ot the plunder is
unknown, but it is represented aa light.
The sheriffs ot Albany and Carbon
counties, with posses and United States
manbale, are after the bandits,' who are
supposed to be members of ihe notorious
"Hole In the Wall" gang, whioh has
terrorized the state for years.
Ohbyenni, Wyo., Jane 6 A second
battle with the dynamiters of the Union
Paoiflo express train has been fought in
tin mountains, 10 miles north ot Casper,
by the sheriff's posse, whioh has been io
pursuit sinoe Sunday m irning, and, as a
result, one man and probably more lie
deal. The first battle was fought San
day on Teapot oresk, 30 miles north of
Oasper. No one was wounded daring
this engagement, but several horses were
killed.
Tin seoond battle was fought last
evening at a point 10 milea farther north
and a wilder country. The robbers, be
ing olosely pressed, made a determined
etaad behind some rooks in a deep ra
vine, and when the posse put in an
appearanoe opened fire at oooe at a very
olose range. Sheriff Joe Hazen, ot
Douglas, Wyo., fell at the first fire, be
ing shot through lb stomach. He was
at oooe removed .to a safe plaoe and
afterwards brought to Oasper by two
cowboys, arriving at the latter plaoe
thia noon. General Manager D'okinson,
ot the Union Faoiflo, who has been at
Oasper sinoe Monday directing the work
of banting down the robbers, tendered
the use of bis private train, aod Hazen
was taken to his home at D mglas. A
telegram from Ibere thh evening states
that the officer died shortly after reach
ing bis home.
The posse resumed the fight as soon aa
Hszsn bad been removed, and were sao
essfal in a short time in driviag the
robbers from their stronghold and away
from their h irses, wbiob were secured
among tbe rooks, some two miles away,
wbere they intrenched themselves and
prepared for a bitter fight. Tbe posse
quietly divided np and surrounded tbe
plaoe, and when a oourier left tbe soeoe
tbe officers were lying on their arms,
with tbe robbers completely surrounded
and hemmed in. An urgent request was
sent in for reinforcement aod a supply
of food and ammonilioo. In response,
United Slates Marshal Hadsell, ot Wyo
ming, who had just reaohed Oasper from
tbe western part of Ihe state, wbere he
bad been hunting for tbe olber three
train robbers, started out with another
posse and with arms, food, ammunition
and borsea in plenty.
The oapturs of the three robbers,
who are hemmed In tbe mountains, 45
miles north of O taper, Is now thougbl
oerlaio, bat whether they will ever
reaob tbe railroad Is another question,
aa there Is intense excitement in Oasper,
and in Diuglas, and there is talk of
lycobing tbe robbers it caught.

simmons has been training energetically
at Bath Beaob for some weeks past, and
be is in fine fettle. He will go into tbe
ring with Jeffries next Friday, be says,
in as good form as be ever was In bia

Fitzsimmons is said to weigh about 164
at present.
Jeffries' training quarters, at Aabury
Park, fairly swarmed with visitors to
day. Tbe majority of them were die-
aopointed, aa tbey did not even oatob a
glimpse of bim. He did bis work today
early in the morning, which was some
thing out of tbe ordinary, as Jeffries'
work since be bas been training at As
bury Park baa generally extended over
tbe entire day, Billy Delaney bas been
looking after Jeffries at his training quar
ters, and be and Maoager Brady are
thoroughly satisfied with tbe Oalifor

General Otia Cables the War Department
That the Regiment Will Sail This Weeek.
Evening Telegram.
Washington, June 5 General Otis
advises tbe war department tbat the
Oregon regiment will leave for tbe
United States this week. It will be sent
direot to Portland tor muster-out at
Vancouver barracks.
Joy will be brought to every heart in
Oregon by tbe oonlents of tbe above die-
patoh, which meaos that if tbe boys ot
the Seoond Oregon do not Spend the
Fourth of July in Portland, their arrival
will be delayed bat a few days beyond
tbat time.
If tbe boys start this week, as the dis
patch states tbey wilr, tbey should reach
here before tbe Fourth. Tbey will oon
direot to Portlaod first, and latter go to
Vancouver to be mastered out ot servic
It will take tbe transports 28 to 30 days
to cross the Paciflo ' from Manila to
Portland. Allowing for delays tbe Seo
ond Oregon ought to reaob here in time
for the Fourth. After the dark, dreary
months of wailing, their home Coming
will be like a burst of golden sunshine.
Slow old Portland will be turned into a
carnival ot blesaing. The teal Bed
patriotism whioh welled into citizen's
hearts and burst forth unrestrained al
the departure ot the troops, has been
augmented a hundred fold by tbe hero
ism ot the Amerioan ' soldiers in the
Philippines and will bars! forth again
like tbe pent-up forces of a mighty flood.
Indeed, it will be a gala day for Fort

The Trial Attraots Lirge Crowds, Lwts
Eleven Days,
From Grant County News.
For eleven long days, tbe people ot
Grant oouoty listened for the second
time to the trial of Dick Hinkle, charged
with the murder of Geo. A. Soott in the
vicinity of Izee. Hinkle bad been tried
tortheorime in 1897 fall term, found
guilty and sentenced to 15 yeara in the
penitentiary, In tbe supreme court,
tbe case was sent back for retrial, on
acoount of certain teslimony by Henry
Slricklin, olaimiog tbat Wm. Baer bad
confessed to bim (Stricklin) tbat he had
oommitted the murder on aooonnt of be
ing tbe nnluoky one io the drawing ot
straws, which bad been agreed upon,
but that Hinkle assisted in burning tbe
body. Hinkle bas been confined in tbe
oounty jail, waiting his seoond trial.
The case bas attracted considerable
attention and, in addition to nearly a
hundred witnesses and many jurors,
people from all over the oountry to
witness tbe trial. Eleven days were
consumed io securing a jury and trying
the ease. The trial was stubbornly con
tested on both sides, for tbe state by
District-Atty. Miller and V. G. Oozed,
for the defense, by Attys. Fee, Williams
and Van Vaotor. Dnricg the dosing
argument on Friday afternoon and
evening and Saturday morning, the
court room was ' paoked to the doors.
The oase was submitted to the jury at
noon on Saturday, and in 50 minutes
they returned a verdict ot not guilty.
Maoh eotbuBiesm was evidenoe wben
tbe verdict was rendered.
Tbe jory say that tbe bones in evi
dence were human and that tbey were
tbe remains of Geo. A. Scott, but evi
dence was not brought oat in the trial,
sufficient to connect Hinkle with Ihe
murder. . Tbe trials of Baer and Hinkle
bave oost tbe county In tbe neighbor
hood of $15,000.
UNION COUNTY MINES BOLD.
Sale of Eacle Creek Properties for Large
Sams Reported.
The Obroniole says: P. E. Van Buren
bas snooeeded in selliog five quartz
olaims situated in tbe Eagle range ot
mountains on a tributary of main Eagle
oreek, known as Copper oreek.
The olaims are tbe Keystone, Book-
eye, Mowbawk, Arkansas and Sucker,
and from assays made of tbe ore these
olaims are seoond to none in Oregon.
Tbeee olaims were sold to Giles W.
Weller for $60,000, ten per oent of which
is to be paid on or before tbe 15th ot
Ootober, 1809; twenty five per oent to
be paid on or before tbe 15th day ot
August, 1900, and sixty-five per oent on
or before tbe 15tb day ot August, 1901.
All the necessary papers bave been
drawn and signed by all tbe parties but
one, who Is absent from Ihe olty.but will
be here in a few days, and are all well
known residents of this city, and it is a
sure sale. There are many other very
rich mines In Union oounty equally as
rich as any in any part of Ihe state ot
Oregon, and the time ia nol far distant
when Union county will come to tbe
front in tbe mining world.
There is no need of anyone going to
Alaska in quest of mines, as there are
plenty of Ibem at our very doors.
