Not Sufficient Evidence to Hold Great
Miners' Leader.

uride Miners' union and prominently
identified with the Western Federation
of Miners, is sea in a free man. all
charges against him having been drop
ped by the state.
"We were unable to verify certain
evidence against St. John, and rather
than go to trial with a weak case we
decided to abandon further prosecu
tion," is the way District Attorney
Selig put it. District Judge Stevens
promptly ordered St. John released.
St. John had been out on bonds un
der the charge of beine responsible for
the strike riot of 1900 at Telluride,
when a man named Burnham was kill
ed. St. John, after leaving Telluride,
went to Idaho. He was arrested for
complicity in the assassination of ex
Goveinor Steunenberg, of Idaho, but
later released and immediately re-ar
rested, charged with the murder of
Burnham in Telluride, and brought to
Colorado. He was placed in jail and a
strong guard thrown around the jail to
prevent what was alleged to be an at
tempt to rescue him.
Three weeks later the evidence did
not apppear to be so strong and he was
released on a $ 10.000 bond. His case
dragged along until at this term of
court the prosecuting attorney announc
ed that he had not evidence upon which
to hold him, and he was released.

Congress Must Reform Second Class
Mail Rate Law.
New York, Oct. 8. The congression
al committee which has been investi
gating the carrying of second class mail
matter by the Postoffice department de
cided today to adjourn tbe hearing to
Washington, where representatives of
the Periodical Publishers' association
will be heard on November 26. F. C
Madden, third assistant postmaster
general, said:
'I think that beyond question the
Postoffice department has established
its case namely, that the present laws
regulating second-class matter are out
of date and practically nullified by
present practices beyond the control of
tbe department as now equipped, and
that a real and effective enforcement
would be injurious to tbe publishing
interests. There are now many persons
enjoying the privileges of the second-
class rates in violation of the intent
and purpose of the statutes to the de
triment of the postal revenues amount
ing to millions annually.
From the bearings, the correctness
of this is specially conceded by the
publishers themselves. Thty seem to
be substantially agreed that a reforma
tion of the laws is imperative. Just
what view the committee will take or
what action it will propose, if any, no
one at this time can say."

PRICE WILL NOT ADVANCE
Over
Oregon Millmen Not Worrying
Price of Logs on Sound.
Portland Despite the shortage In
the log supply for the Columbia river
mills and tie exhaustion of the sur
plus that is stored each summer for
the winter's run, Portland millmen are
not apprehensive of a raise in the
price of logs. The schedule has soared
to such heights already, they say, that
there is no likelihood of a further ad
vance for weeks to come anyway. That
the mills have already cut the usual
surplus is admitted, but it Is said "that
nowadays the camps along the river
are equipped to put log's into the water
at any season, and the lack of rafts
on hand for future use does not trouble
the mill-owners.
The announcement that logs will be
higher on the S mnd after the first of
the month does not concern local saw
mill men. They say that prices are al
ready higher on the Columbia river
than on the Sound. After the new
price scale goes into effect, the Co
lumbia river logger will still be get
ting more for his product than the log
ger who operates on the Sound
The price of logs on the Columbia
river has advanced remarkably during
the season. In the spring logs of the
best class could be had for $7 and $8.
Now these same logs cost $11 and $1
per 1,000. The remarkable demand for
lumber is responsible for the Increase,
together with the somewhat restricted
supply. With every mill cutting to its
fullest capacity, logs are bound to ad
vance.
Some say the situation is such that
loggers could get what they might
choose to ask for their product, on
account of the small amount of saw
mill timber available, but It is given
out by millmen that if the prices are
raised any more the mills will close
dewn, as prices are already up to the
limit. That the price of lumber could
be advanced aeain is scouted. It is
argued that if a boost were given the
price on Oregon fir, it could not com
pete with Southern pine in the East
ern markets. This is the fact that
keeps the price of the Oregon product
where it is.
HELPS FOR DEBATING SOCIETIES.
What the State Library Commission
Is Doing for Oregon Towns,
Salem Frequent requests for ma
terial on subjects to be debated in the
schools of Oregon convinced the com
mission of the desirability of supply
ing some "debate libraries."
Each library contains a few of .the
best books and pamphlets on the sub
ject, and usually the brief from "Briefs
for debate" or "Briefs on public ques-
tion." Periodical articles, to supple
ment the library, may be rented from
the H. W. Wilson Co. of Minneapolis
for a few cents. A list of desirable
articles is enclosed with each library.
The library will be sent without charge
except for transportation to any de
bating society in Oregon upon applica
tion from the officers of the society and
the principal of the school. The
books may be kept for one month.
Each package is small and the express
will vary from fifty cents to one dol
lar, less than the cost of a single book.
It will now be more possible to have
live debating societies and to do thor
ough work.
Application should be made soon as
there Is but one library on each sub
ject, and loans will be made in order
of applications.
Societies planning for several de
bates should file request at one time
for all libraries wanted during the
year, stating date of debate on each
topic.
Libraries on the following subjects
are now ready and more will be sup
plied soon: Industrial arbitration, Chi
nese exclusion, Immigration, tariff,
trusts, eight-hour day, child labor, cap
ital punishment, open shop, spelling re
form, trades unions, popular election
of United States senators, nominating
systems, proportional representation
ranroaas, roads, taxation, insurance,
forestry, irrigation and prisons.
Virginia Coal Mine Still Holds
More Victims.
Pocahontas, Va., Oct. 5. Nineteen
known dead and from 30 to 40 more
men entombed, and doubtless all dead,
is the situation up to a late hour to
day at the West Fork mines of the
Pocahontas Collerles Company, where
an explosion occurred late Wednesday
afternoon.
The bodies of these men were recov
ered from the mines as the result of
heroic work of a band of 35 men con
stituting a rescue party that werked
incessantly through the hours of the
night and day.
It was not until 7:30 o'clock last
evening that the rescuers reached a
point near Paul entry, where the ex
plosion occurred. Toward the middle
of the evening the hope was expressed
that all the bodies would be recovered
by midnight
The authorities anticipated the
fearful extent of the casualties by or
dering a carload of coffins and burial
supplies, which are now on the way
The order Is being rushed at Blue
field and the burial supplies, which
include 60 coffins, are expected to
reach Pocahontas early tomorrow
morning.
The West mine has over 700 acres
of "worked out" or abandoned work
ings. This fact alone made It difficult
for the men to get to the part of the
mine where the explosion occurred
All the brattices In these old worl-
ings nan Deen blown out. The scene
of the disaster is over two miles from
the drift mouth.
In the operation of the telephone
system of the mine a number of boys
are employed, and the greater number
of these are said to have met death
in the explosion or were caught by
the afterdamp. It Is said that shortly
after the explosion one of the boys
called up the office outside, but was
overcome before he gave his message.
The boy probably died at the tele
phone. The cause of the explosion cannot
be definitely ascertained as yet, but it
is thought to be due to a gas explosion
followed by afterdamp. The mines

dress. Dr. Doyen spoke at some length
on his serum treatment of the disease
He announced ttat of the 19 cases he
bas treated during the first year of thp
tests, death resulted in only three cases
and these were of the most desperate
character.
Tillamook At a meeting of the bus
iness men it was decided to guarantee
a free riKht-of-way to E. E. Lytle. of
the Pacific Railway & Navigation
Company, with terminal grounds, from
Tillamook City to the Nehalem river,
and from the Nehalem to the county
line in Washington county. It Is not
to cost the citizens of this county more
than $10,000, and In consideration of
this Mr. Lytle has agreed to commence
work next year in Tillamook City and
grade and build 15 miles of road, going
north from this city, and have the en
tire line between Tillamook City and
Hillsboro completed by December 31,
1908.
It is expected that the free right-of-
way will cost the citizens between
$20,000 and $30,000, and the business
men and farmers have thus far liber
ally subscribed towards it, although it
is somewhat of a large amount of
money for so small a community to
raise.
Some little disappointment was felt
here that the effort fell through in get
ting some financial help from the
Portland business men, as the building
of Mr. Lytle's road will be of great
benefit to Portland commercially. .

Palma's Early Request for Interven

Havana, Oct. 5. That ex-President
Palma early in September asked for
American Interference in the interest
of foreign lives and property is not
considered surprising here, in view

the American Charge, and Commander
John C. Colwell, of the cruiser Denve
But that he suggested calling Congress

surprising and that on
a

September 1
he officially asked for intervention
and had then Irrevocably decided to
resign causes amazement.
The correspondence between th
State Department and Consul-General
Steinhart In connection with Cuban
intervention reveals the truth of th
rumors current here at the time, which
were persistently denied at the palace
Palma declining to speak for intorven

On September 13 Mr. Bacon received
a dispatch which told of the irre
vocable intention of President Palma
to resign and to turn over the govern
ment to an appointee of President
Roosevelt in order to prevent complete
anarchy. It is added that It may be
necessary to land a force to protect
American property.
This message was sent upon the day
that American marines first Winded in
Cuba, but were ordered back to the
vessels by Secretary Bonaparte. On
the day following it was announced
that Secretary Taft, and Bacon would
be sent to Cuba, and upon that same
day a message was received saying
that the Cuban Congress could not

Pronounce Dreadnaught a Success.
London, Oct. 5. Tbe battleship
Dreadnaught today started a 30-hour
consecutive steam trial. In several
preliminary abort trials she is paid to
have proved a distinct success from the
point of view of handinees in maneu
venng. mis in spite of the weather
conditions, which were far from favor
able. As the Dreadnaught is the first
example of the use of turbine engines
in a warship, her success is regarded
with great satisfaction in naval circles,
and is attributed entirely to her double
rudders.
The path of the tornado through the
city was about eight miles long.
The tornado here appeared at a dis
tance as a cloud sweeping the surface
of the earth. Its course was undulat
ing, some buildings being skipped en
tirely as it bounded skyward. Fre
quently it demolished verandas and
fences on one side of the street,
while not an object on the other side
was disturbed. J he cloud occupied
several minutes in crossing the city
and hundreds of persons who saw and
heard it approaching had time to run
out of its pathway.
One exciting race was made by a
street car, which was loaded with
passengers on their way to work. At
Marengo street the motorman threw
on full power. The flying car was less
than half a block past the roller skat
ing rink when that structure went
down. Another street car was de
railed.
