Need of a Palitician at the Vatican is
Widely Recognized.
Rome, Oct. 16. In spite of the fact
that the pope is enjoying peifect
health, the matter of possible results
of the next conclave, whenever it doi s
occur, is being discussed among the
cardinals, and this with no desire to
anticipate the election or to be disre
spectful to the pontiff. The feeling
among the cardinals has chaDged great
ly since August, 1903, and today there
exists a tendency quite opposite to that
which triumphed three years ago. In
view of the Vatican's experiences with
France, the cry this time will be not
for a merely religious pope, but a po
litical pope: not ior a saint, but for a
statesman.
Even the strongest opponents of
three years ago of Cardinal Rampolla
now favor his election. Rampolla
failed in 1903 chiefly because he was
vetoed by Cardinal Puzyna, in the
name of Austria, speaking for the en
tire Triple Alliance.
Although Pope Pius has suppressed
the right of veto ibroagted by certain
powers, the reason which induced the
Triple Alliance to oppose Cardinal
Rampolla still exist, and the church
today is less able to affoid displeasing
the Central Empire. Consequently
there are rumors of an experiment with
a foreign pope, in spite of the disfavor
of the Italians. For the last four cen
turiea all the popes have been Italians

General Wood Also Wants Cavalry
Sent to Philippines.
Wahington, Oct. 16.--An argument
against the reduction in the number of
troops in the Philippines is made by
Major General Leonard Wood, com
mandins that division, in his annual
reDort. The total garriiion, on June
30 last, numbered 20,043 men.
"We are far from home,", says Gen
eral Wood, "and in case of foreign dis
turbances, even with all our troops
concentrated at Manila, the force avail
able would be ecarecly sufficient to de
fend it fiom a serious attack. More
tsi .
over, a strong garrison snouia De main
tained here until conditionns pertain
ing to the civil government are well es
tablished and the animosities and dis
appointments incident to the building
up of a local government under new
and DerhaDS strained conditions have
passed away."
General Wood suggests adding some
artillery to the present garrison and
sending to the Philippines one squad
ron of each of the cavarly regiments in
the United States.

Hood River Land in Demand.
Hood River Sales of ranch and city
property aggregating $60,000 in one
day are reported by Hood River real
estate men, who said that the demand
here for apple land was never better
than at present. The statement was
made that O. L. Vanderbilt had been
offered $100,000 for his apple orchard
known as Buelah Land, which he re
fused because he has a $15,000 crop of
apples on it, which the intending pur
chaser wanted included in the sale
Vanderbilt eon firms the sale. The
ranch of F. Chandler, 60 acres, was
sold to the real estate firm, of Albee,
Benham & Co., of Portland, for $15,
000. The ranch is situated n,ear the
city, and it is expected that it will be
cut up into lots.
To Operate Dredge Chinook.
Portland To operate the bar dredge
Chinook at the mouth of the Columbia
on an annual appropriation furnished
by the state is a matter that came up
for consideration at the regular month
ly meeting of the board of trade. In
his monthly statement Secretary Laber
devotes considerable space to the fact
that the Chinook has been lying idle at
the government moorings for two years
and during that time it has been use
less so far as the purposes for which
she was constructed are concerned. He
is of the opinion that funds with
which to continue the work on the bar
can be secured.
WOULD REVISE LAWS.
Superintendents and Principals Sug
gest Important Changes.
Salem If the legislature of 1907
shall grant any considerable portion of
the recommendations of the county
school superintendents of Oregon, the
public schools of the state will have
more funds, longer terms and better
paid teachers. In annual session here
the superintendents and principals
agreed upon many desiied changes in
the school laws, some ot them of much
importance and interest not only to
teachers and officers, but to taxpayea
and school patrons generally.
That the minimum length of term a
district shall maintain school shall be
increased from three to five months,
and tbat the county school levy shall
be raised from $6 per capita to $8 par
capita, were the most important changes
suggested. This is raising the mini
mum term 66 per cent, and increasing
the minimum county levy 33 per cei.t.
One recommendation of general inteiest
to teachers is that an application be
granted but one second cr third grade
ceitificate in this state. At present
only one such certificate may be obtain
ed in a county, but by going from one
lounty to another a teacher may get S3
third grade certificates. The proposed
change in the law will compel teachers
to advance from year to year in their
educational qualifications.
In order to raise the standard for
county papers, it is advised that alge
bra and physical geography be added to
the list of subjects upon which an ap
plicant must be examined for a first
grade county certificate, and that ment
al arithmetic be dropped as a separate
subject. Composition, bookkeeping
and general history were suggesed as
proper subjects to be included in the
examination for first grade county cer
tificues, but only the two mentioned
were approved.
HUNDREDS ARE BURNED.
The State Population.
Salem Reports from all but five
counties in the state, and. these sup
plied with estimates based upon school
statistics by Labor Commissioner Hoff ,
gives the total population for Oregon,
according to the 1905 census, as 433 -574,
as against 413,536, under the 1900
Federal census, or an increase of 20,038
in five years. These figures are based
on censuB returns from the counties
sending in reports to the office of secre
tary of state.
Hunters Cut Wire Fences.
McMinnville A number of farmers
complain that hunters cut their wire
fences in order to get their dogs
through. One man found that his fence
bad been cut in three places. There is
talk of forming a club to keep poachers
off.
Increase in Receipts.
Albany The receipts of the Albany
postoffice for the past quarter were
$2,646.91. This is an increase of
136 58 over the receipts of the same
quarter a year ago.

d'Cassasiui, Mexican ambassador to
the United Staets, has formally tender
ed his resignation to President Diaz,
and the announcement of the fact will
he made public in the next issue of the
Diary Official. Senor Cassasius gives
as a reason for his resignation the fact
that for some time past his health has
been seriously impaired. According to
the rumors in circulation, the most
likely candidate to succeed Cassasiua is
Enrique Creel, governor of the state of
Cljibuat.ua.
One Board for Normal Schools.
Salem At their session the mem
bers of the Department of Superintend
ence of the State Teachers' association
decided without a dissenting vote to
favor the placing of all all state normal
schools under the control of a single
board. There were one or two superin
tendents who said that they had not
fully determined the matter in their
own minds and therefore would not
vote upon the question, but all thoe
who did vote went on record in the
affirmative. The officers elected are:
President, L. R. Alderman, of Yam
hill; vice president, E. E. Bragg, of
Union; secretary, L. F. Neff, of Wascor.

Vessel With Two Thousand Chinese
On Board Catches Fire.
Hongkong, Oct. 15. The British
steamer -Hankow, from Canton, was
burned at 3:10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, while lying alongside her wharf.
Hunderds of Chinese passengers were
burned to death and a valuable cargo
was destroyed. All the European pas
sengers and crew were saved.
The steamer Hankow, with 2,000
Chinese passengeis, men, women and
children, and seven Europeans, and a
cargo including 3,700 bales of matting,
560 bales of raw silk and 400 bales of
waste silk, arrived from Canton at 3
o'clock and was shortly afterward
moored at the wharf.
Her chief officer reported to Captain
Branch that the ship was afire. The
captain then directed the chief engineer
to turn on the water through the fire
hose. This was impossible (or the rea
son tbat within five minutes after the
alarm was given the Hankow was
ablaze fore and aft.
Captain Branch then awakened the
European passengers, who rushed down
the gangway, the ladies in their night
clothes. The crew was compelled to
leave the ship, which by this time was
a veritable furnace.
Responding to signals, the British
cruiser Flora and the naval dockyard
distpached contingents of engines and
assistants. The floating brigades of
firemen made heroic efforts to extin
guish the . flames, which leaped to a
heivht of over 60 feet.
The Chinese steerage passengeis were
thrown into a frightful panic. Horri
fying shrieks and cries to save their
lives were heard, but escape was im
possible, owing to the inflammable na
ture of the cargo. Hundreds were
burned to death and many others
jumped into the harbor and were
drowned.

ARIZONA UNITED.
Determined to Preserve Her Identity
and Will Refuse Jo;nt Statehood
Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 15. The terri
tory of Arizona, rich in American citi
zenship, as well as natural resources, is
making a determined fight to retain its
identity. The people as a whole are
bitterly opposed to the plan of joint
statehood with New Mexico. They ad
vance various reasons for their opposi
tion, some of them potent and others of
little apparent weight. Whatever the
reason, they are overwhelmingly againit
joint statehood, and will kill the prop
osition at the polls next month. The
leader of the "jointists in Northern
Arizona acknowledges that he does not
count upon more than 15 per cent of
the vote in favor of jointure.
The chief objection to union with
New Mexico appears to be based upon
the disparity in size and quality of
population. The Mexieen element in
New Mexico numbers at least 60 per
cent of the total population. In Ari
zona the Mexican vote is about 15 per
cent of the total. Much of the Mexi
can population In Arizona is floating,
consisting of laborers on raliroads and
irrigation enterprises, etc., while the
Mexicans living in New Mexico are, as
rule, native of the territory.
San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 13. The
general alarm caused by the numerous
reports of hold-ups and robbery has
seriously affected the attendance at all
places of amusement. Hotel managers
and others entrusted with the handling
of large sums of money have made elab
orate defensive preparations and there
is a general arming on the part, of citi
zens.
Discussing the propriety of the or
ganization of a committee of safety in
this state today to deal with petty
criminals who now infest the city, Ast-
ing Mayor Gallagher said:
"There shall be no lynching in this
city, and I sincerely hope that at the
meeting to be held in Union square
today the leaders will have enough
sense to do nothing that will injure the
city.
"They will call it a committee of
safety," the mayor continued, "but
other cities will call it a vigilance com
mittee, and that will do irrevocable
barm to San Francisco. It would be a
cconfession that the people of this city
are not capable of protesting them
selves, and when I say the people I
mean the authorities with whom the
people have vested the power of gov
ernment The plan is un-American.
"The Burpation oi the powers of sup
pressing crime by unauthorized persons
is a crime in itself. I shall regard it
as such and will not permit it.
"Should those men desire to co-operate
with the authorities in ridding the
city of thugs and criminals, I shall be
glad to have their assistance, but they
must not act independent of the munic
ipality. I will not allow millionaires
to take those steps any sooner than I
would allow laboring men. There
most be no violence committed by citi
zens. Lyncb law does more harm
than good."
