Secretary Coitelyou has made the imporlant an nouncement that as a Tmeans of afford ing relief to the financial situation, the treasury would issue $50,000,000 of Fanama bonds and $100,000,000 certi ficates of indebtedness, or so much theieof as may be necessary. The cer tificates will run for one year, and will bear 3 per cent interest. The secretary's action in coming to the relief of the financial situation meets with President Roosevelt's hearty approval, and the plan is the outcome of the several White House conferences which have been held with in the last few days, when the financial situation was under consideration. Secretary Cortelyou snys that the Panama bonds will afford substantial relief, as the law provides that they may be used as a basis for additional national bank circulation. He also states that the proceeds from the sale of certificates can be made directly available at points where the need is most urgent, and especially for the movement of crops, which he says, "if properly accelerated, will give the greatest relief and result in the most immediate financial returns." The secretary calls attention to the attractiveness of the bonds and certifi cates as absolutely safefinvestments.

Pursued In Far East Distaste ful to Great Britain. Pekin, Nov. 19. The speech deliv ered at Kobe by Count Okuma, who was at one time head of the Progressive party in Japan, in which he declared that Japan would eorely disappoint the people of India as well as ignore the opportunities given by heaven if she failed to afford protection to the mil lions of Indians now being oppressed by Europe, has caused great excitement among the British newspapers publish ed in Northern China. In this section of tve empire the Japanese expansion movement is interfering greatly with British interests, and there ij open warfare between Japanese and British merchants. Since last May Englishmen have been the leaders in the anti-Japanese campaign in Pekin and Tientsin. The Times, which is the principal British organ in rsorth China, gives expression to the "deep-seated, smouldering wrath," of Britons in the Far East and accepts NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST FROM THE STATE OF OREGON ELLIS APPEAL3 FOR SETTLERS DAY FOR THANKSG.V1NG.

Pendleton As an emergency request on behalf of several hundred entrymen in Eastern Oregon, who have advertis ed to prove up on their claims, whose time has expired and who must now present proof and make payment at the land office In this district within the ! next few weeks, Congressman W. R. Ellis has sent a message to James R. Garfield, secretary of the interior, ask ing him to permit the advertised proofs to be made without payment and to al low 60 days for the making of pay ments. Owing to thep resent financial condi tions and the continued holidays, it will be impossible for many of the en trymen to make their payments at this time, and it is feared that an endless amount of litigation, red tape, losa of time and in many instances loss of land rights, will result if the government in sists on payments at once.

Cham berlain, aa governor of the state of Ore gon, do proclaim said day a holiday in this state. "Let it be properly observed.

"In testimony whereof I have here unto subscribed my name and caused the great seal of the state of Oregon to be affixed at the capitol in the city of balem, this 14th day of November, A D. 1907.

Suspend Timber Proofs 30 Days, La Grande The register and receiver of the local land office have received instructions from the general land office at Washington to suspend proofs for 30 days in all cases wherein they are satis fied that the applicants cannot with draw their money from the banks to make the required payments.

OKLAHOMA A STATE. Digging Potatoes at Weston. Weston Potato digging is in active progress in the mountain district tribu tary to Westcn. The acreage is larger Count Okuma's words as a na- "'an that of any previous year and the tional expression The pro-Japanese British'press in the bouth of China has recently indicated its purpose of fighting the Japanese, whose operations," it is declared, "now conflict with those of Great Brit ain from the Yangtee to Manchuria."

The Red Boy has produced a large amount of gold alreday. The vein struck is seven feet in width and assays show that it runs $41 in gold and high in silver.

With im pressive ceremonies, befitting the birth of the new state of Oklahoma, the oaths of office were administered to Governor Charles N. Haskell and other Etate oil! cials a few minutes before noon Satur day. The oaths were administered by Leslie G. Niblack, a newspaperman. The ceremonies took place on the steps of the Carnegie library, there being no state building here. Following prayer by a clergyman the proclamation of President Koose ve It admitting Oklahoma and Indian Territory into the union was read by Charles Filson, secretary of Oklahoma territory. A band of Indian boys then played " The Star Spangled Banner." Governor Haskell walked forward to the center of the platform where he was met by Mr. Niblack and took the formal oath. Turning to the crcwd that closed in from every direction, Governor Haskell delivered the inaugural ad dress. He said: "In its course through the" day the sun will have lighted the pathway of millions, and looks down on the people emerging from the disorder and discon tent -of bureauciatic government, re stricted to the point of helpfulness and neglect to the limit of oppression, into a condition of liberty and self govern ment. "We are not assembled here to wor ship the public officer who ultimately conceded us our rights, especially when we reflect that long ago, from every standpoint of population, wealth and intelligence, this territory was ei lit) ed to all the blessings and privilege of statehood, and now to thauk the public officers in over gracious terms who have finally performed a long and unjustly deferred duty would be in the nature of hnggirg the feet of a dilatory debtor who finally pays his just indebted ness." GREATER SAN FRANCISCO. All Sub- 20,- JUDGE WICKERSHAM TELLS. Explains Reason for Unfriendliness of Governor Hoggatt. Seattle, Nov. 19. A special from Fairbanks to the Post-Intelligencer says: ' J he Wickereham letter of resigna tion was made public in the News of Tuesday. One of the principal reasons for the resignation is the enmity of Governor Hoggatt. The letter says: " 'At the recent term of court held at Juneau, on special request of the attorn ey general, I had the misfortune to de cide an important case involving the case of a young lawyer in a way contra ry to Governor Hoggatt's views. There upon the governor withdrew the friend ship, which I highly valued, and criti cized me, so that the loss of his confi dence became publicly known. His views were unjust and presumptuous, but his opposition and his refusal to support the court added greatly to my burden. "President Roosevelt, in reply to the letter of resignation, says the resigna tion is accepted with regret." Winter Supplies for Lake.

Morgan & Company and the Bank of France to ob tain between $20,000,000 and $40,000, 000 in gold for direct shipment to New York consider it possible that some other method may be found to procure gold from the bank direct to America. In certain quarters there is believed to be a connection between the attitude of the French government toward the re lease of gold and the pending Franco American tariff negotiations.

Mexico Has Ceded Magdalena Bay for Use of Navy. Mexico City, Nov. 18. Mexico has ceded Magdalena bay, on the coast of Lower Califronia, to be used for the purpose of a coaling station by the United States navy. This is considered the hrst fruit of the recent visit of Sec retary Root to this republic. The an nouncement of the session of the west coast harbor, which has been used for years by ships of the United States navy for. the purpose of target practice, was qualifiedly substantiated by the State department when the secretary of foreign relations said that the United States would be allowed to maintain two coaling ships at Magda lena ly for a period of three years. provided a like concession was made to the government, of Mexico. No arrangement was entered into cov ering the matter of naval yards and for tifications. Washington, Nov. 16. One of the most piomising signs is that the next congress will seriously take up the matter of tariff revision. Although it is an utter impossibility to state at the present moment what action will be taken by congress, dominated, as iu is, by men of high tariff belief, it would seem that tne appointment oi a com mission would soothe the feelings of the revisionists in Massachusetts, Wis consin and other states and would keep them in line with the rest of the party for the earnest support of the next pres idential ticket. Word has come to the capital that it p. the intention of Senator Beverldge,, of Indiana, to introduce a bill for the appointment of a commission whose duty it shall be to study the schedules. with care and be prepared to advise congress on the matter of revision. Many Republicans of the saner thought never have been able to under stand why the tariff should be purely a political issue. These men are not stand patters," nor are they freetrad ers, ihey believe that, if politics could be laid aside, the tariff might be ad justed so that the vast majority of Americans, consumers and manufac turers, might be benefitted and that in the revision there would be found the- germ of political peace. There is a suspicion in Washington that President Roosevelt may recom mend the appointment of a tariff com- nssion in his next message. It goes' lso without saying that Mr. Beveridge must have consulted Mr. Roosevelt bout the measure which it is believed he the senator's intention to intro- uce. As a matter of fact, the presi dent stands committed to such a com mission. Probably the matter has been, forgotten by the public, but in a speech deliveted in Indiana September 3. 902, Mr. Roosevelt advocated the forming of such a commission. to MORE JAPANESE COME IN. 20c per poni.d; iadi-h oc per pound; squash, ll4c per poucd; tomatoes, 25 50c per box.

While immi gration to America from all countries showed during October a considerable increase, being 29 per cent greater than in October, 1905, and 12 per cent greater than October, 1906, the increase in immigration from Japan was gieater than has been shown in any one month, in the history ol the immigrathion serv ice. The restrictive regulations operating against the Japanese and Co reans have been in force about seven months, but notwithstanding this the iminig-ation of Japanese constantly has increased during that period. Jhe ofheial returns show that during October, 1906, before the restrictive regulations were thought of, the num ber of Japanese who arrived in this country was 084. During October cf tlm year the number, not counting scores who were smuaeled across the Canadian and Mexican borders, was 1, 616. an increase of about 250 per cent. While the increase in Japanese im--migration is not partic ularly alarming in the minds of officials of the govern mer t, because the percentage of Japan ese immigrants h not large, it has been sufficient to create comment. No state ment concerning the matter, however. can be obtained from any responsible offic i i! of the department of commerce. and labor. After Trust First Thing. AlcAlester, Okla., Nov. 18.
