Giant powder was successfully used Saturday night in an effort to causo the growers composing tho Farmers' Irrigating Company the loss of a large portion of their strawberry crop. Disgruntled , laborers are suspected. About 150 feet of flume on a hill side on tho west sido of Hood River was destroyed, and the water in tbe big irrigating ditch is shut off. As a result, the crop of two-thirds of the valley, about 400 acres, is without wa ter until such time as the flume can be repaired, which will take at tho least estimate three or four days. The growers stand to lose at least 10,000 crates of berries, worth $30,000, and if the flume cannot bo repaired before 'Wednesday, the loss will be far j greater. The damage to too ditch will not amount to more than $500, Tho point where the ditch was de stroyed is high on a hillside. The members of the pnmnnnv Rtnto tlint. ; h lnust Lave taken consijCrablo work and three or four boxes of powder to product such disastrous results. This is the ditch from which all of the wa ter is. taken to irrigate the big straw berry crop on the west side of the valley. Although 25 men were hurried to the scene of the trouble as soon as it was known today, it is estimated that it will take three days, working day and night, to repair "the damage. The Ifood River berry season is now at its height, and no water to sustain the plants and ripen the berries dur- I ing the present warm weather will cut aown tne yieiu to almost notning. or the past few days from five to seven cars of berries have been shipped daily. An investigation started this after noon by M. H. Nickelsen, secretary, and A. C. Staten, manager of the com pany, in an effort to determine if pos sible who the ditch destroyers were, developed the fact that the noise of the shots was heard two miles away from the spot where the explosion took place, and that it occurred about 11 o'clock. Beyond this, nothing is defi nitely known. It is said, however, that the officers of the company have under suspicion several men whom they had in their employ last year, and to whom they : refused to give work this summer. SMALLPOX ON TRANSPORT. Sherman Reports by Wireless and Must be Quarantined. Portland, June 16 Wireless dis patches were received Sunday by The ! Oregonian from the transport Sherman while at sea that there was smallpox on board. The Sherman is bound for Portland from the Philippines with the First Infantry, 5S5 men in all, un der command of Colonel McGonical. Before the vessel reached Honolulu a navv man returning died of the dis ease and was buried at sea. Two days ago an enlisted man was taken ill with hibition vote at the recent election, smallpox. The two men were in dif- Plans are already on foot to convert ferent parts of the ship, so the whole the brewery into a fruit packing and vessel is considered infected. This storage warehouse. It is located con means that under the quarantine regu- venient to the O. R. & N. depot and lations each of the 1182 men on board is a large and well arranged building must be vaccinated and quarantined for 14 days and the transoort must be fumigated. This process necessitates disembark ing all the men, and owing to the lack of facilities at the Columbia Eiver station, tents must be sent from some of the army posts of tho district. Col onel Eogers, in command, fears that since the men have just returned from the Orient, camping out in this cli mate will be injurious to their health and he has requested the department to have tho transport with all on board sent to the quarantine station at San Francisco. What will be done in thiS matter cannot yet be known. The First Infantry is en route to Vancouver, where it will be stationed, succeeding the Fourteenth Infantry, which was transported a few weeks ago to Manila. Refuse to Cut Salaries. Manila, June 16 After many ex tended and apparently hopeless con ferences, the Insular Commission and the Philippines Assembly have finally arrived at an agreement upon the gen eral appropriation bill, which, it is be- ,' Iiovod, both the commission and the assembly will ratify. The compro mise measure appropriates 16,800,000 pesos, the assembly making a conces sion of nearly 1,500,000 pesos. Tho commission declined to assent to the reduction in salaries and the consoli dation of some of the bureaus as pro posed by the assembly. Plague in Venezuela. - ' i i" . r cs Caracas.

Washington. June 16. The Kaw river is falling, but the Missouri at Kansas City continues to rise slowly. The stage tonight was 30 feet, with a further rise of possibly one foot in- dicsted during Monday, from water now in sight. NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST FROM THE STATE OF OREGON PREPARING FOR FAIR. Space Will be Provided Counties This Year. More for Salem. At a meeting of the build ing committee of the state fair board the contract was let for enlargement of the grandstand at the fair grounds so that it will accommodate an at tendance of 0,000 people. McFarlane, Denison & McLaren, Salem con tractors, were swarded the contract for $3,900. From the reports that have been received the state fair this year will be one of the grandest in the history of the state. Nearly every county has signified its intention to be on hand with a large exhibit next fall. The board has already concluded to move the administration offices to an other location to make room for addi tional county exhibits.vand the build ing committee is seriously contem plating the necessity of putting up new structures. Besides the remodel ing of the grandstand, a new entrance will be constructed before the fair opens. The members of the building committee who were in session are V. F. Matlock, Frank Lee and F. Y. Welch. Mike Wisdom was also m Salem with the committee inspecting the grounds. The organization of the Portland Country club and Livestock associa tion has been a great factor in bring ing better horses to the west this year and will continue to be so in future years. It is therefore expected that the racing feature at the fair this year will be much stronger than in former years. The large purses hung at Portland will attract many driv ers and breeders who have never be fore visited the Pacific Coast. The two fairs, coming one following the other, will enable both to get the full benefit of the exhibitions, which will be the best ever seen on the coast. Lower Prices for Wool. Pendleton. The second and last wool sales were as follows: William Slusher's clip, 150,000 pounds, sold to Defour for 104c; D. Goodmans clip 26.136 pounds, to C. II. Green for 9ic; A. T. Warner. 12.121 pounds, to Kuhn, 10k; G. W. Ellis, 1.047 pounds, to Green, 12k: D. W. Chapman, 2C, 136 pounds, to Green, 9lc; M. P. Fom- eroy, SO 230 pounds, to Green. 105c; I.uhr & Sons. 11,401 pounds, to Green. 10c: J. W. Groom, 9.99 pounds, to Green, 11.1c; Henderson & Son, 12,139 pounds, to Kuhn. Ilk; Sam Warner, 9,850 pounds, to Ureen 12lc; J. M. Pemphill. to Judd, Sic. There will be but little wool left after this sale. Prices are lower owing to the fact that this wool from the west end of Umatilla county is heavier than that sold May 25. Pack Fruit in Brewery. La Grande. The Roesch brewery of this city, one of the largest plants of the kind in Eastern Oregon, will he closed lulv 1 as a result of the nro- and is well adapted to tne purpose Tulius Roesch, proprietor of the brew ery, is one of the pioneer brewers of the state and has accumulated a for tune here in the business. However, the increasing fruit culture in this vi cinity will not allow his building to remain idle long after the prohibition law goes into effect. Lake Homesteads in Demand. I l-cviciv fnnv Innrl filinos are bein received at' the and office most of them homesteads. Eve" piece of land that can be cultivated is being taken under the laws governing this form of entry. Few timber fil ings are now being received as land of this character is scarce indeed in this district. Occasionally someone finds a quarter section or an 80-acre tract that has been overlooked in the rush, but most of the filings that are being made under this act are on claims that were at first taken under the homestead act. O. & E. Surveyors Out Again. Eugene. Carl Rankin, engineer in charge of the Southern Pacific sur vey for the Oregon & Eastern rail way, or the extension of the Natron branch over the Cascade mountains to Klamath Falls and across the state, arrived in Eugene a few days ago with a large crew to resume the survey of the route. Thev will begin where they left off last fall. Mr. Rankin says they will be at work in the mountains till late in the fall. Experts at Butteville Grange Salem. Considerable preparation is Qt ine yreKon xgricu.iurai nucge, Armstrong, countv fruit in- lector, and prominent fruitgrowers "'ill participate. A large attendance is expected. Ready to Construct Road. Astoria. Not only is the Pacific Railroad & Navigation company mak ing preparations to put a large force of men at work on its road within a short time, but it will begin active construction almost at once on the proposed road frfim Astoria to Ne- halcm valley. Sufficient work will be done this year that the line can be completed by next summer. Timber Transfers in Clatsop. Astoria. Deeds have been filed for record whereby J. E. Wheeler, of Portland, sells to the Jones-Wheeler company 3.002.72 acres of timber land in the southwest portion of Clatsop county, and W. N. Jones, also of Tortland. sells to the same company 3.104.72 acres in the same locality. The consideration named is purely nominal. DIP ALL MANGY CAYUSES. Big Vat Erected for Ufe by Umatilla Cayuses. Pendleton. Every horse in Uma tilla county that has the mange must be rounded up and dipped. This is the edict issued by State Veterinarian Kornick, who has been here for a couple of days in conference with Dr. S. W. McClure, head of the federal bureau of animal industry in the northwest. In order to eradicate the mange, which is so prevalent among the hundreds of Indian horses on the eservation, tie government inspectors stationed here have just completed arrangements for dipping every cay use on the Umatilla reservation, whether infected or not. A great vat has been constructed near the site of the old agency, and for several days the reds have been engaged in the task of rounding up their ponies. County Inspector 13ry rtnt started out Tuesday to make a tour of the county, and every white man's horse found to be infected will be taken to the reservation dipping vat and given a bath, the owner being charged the nominal sum of 50 cents. The order on the part of the state veterinarian was immicu ai wie in- stance of Dr. McClure, who insisted that it was little short of folly to clean up the reservation horses when tlincp rtf tliA a H irtinl n rr ronrViprc wprp ' in many cases just as bad. INCREASE PENDLETON PLANT. Wisconsin Company Negotiating for Woolen Mills. Pendleton. -Agents of the Racine woolen mills, of. Racine, Wisconsin, are here looking over the Pendleton wnnlcn mills with a vipw rf mirrlias. ing them and making them a part of the crent Racine indnstrv It is nro- posed to employ at least 200 men and women in the plant and to increase the capacity by more than three times and piake it the biggest woolen mill in the northwest.

If purchased the mill will be de voted exclusively to the manufacture of high grade Indian robes, blankets and similar lines of goods. Klamath Should Yield Oil. Klamath rails. A. i,. Darrow, enshier of the Fort Sutter National bank of Sacramento, who is heavily interested in Klamath realty, has re- turned from a 200-mile drive over the Klamath basin and states that indi- cations point strongly to sections of Poe and Langell valleys being great oil producing districts. Mr. Darrow has been in past years connected with the Standard Oil company and speaks from experience. The Klamath Oil company will sink experimental wells this spring. Plenty of Work for Woodchoppers. Pendleton. Wood dealers in the Blue mountains at Meacham and Ka mela find it impossible to secure men to cut wood for the winter market and work at good wages for at least 100 able-Dodied men is now to be found at the wood camps at Kamela and Meacham. Dealers are now offering $1.10 per cord for cutters, but so far none have been found to take the jobs at that price. At this price a good man can make $2.50 to $3 per day in a 10-hour day.

GERMANY HAS GRAFT. Astounding State of Corruption Dis covered in Navy Yards. Berlin, Juno 15 How many millions has tho German government boon swindled out of by tho recently dis covered embezzlements in tho imperial shipyards at Kiel! No one dares ovon guess. How many of tho vessols built and equipped in the yards, aro to bo found to belong to tho same class as tho battleships built in Kussia with wooden pegs instead of steel rivotsf No ono knows yet, and no one prob ably ever will. The discovery that two high officials of the imperial shipyards, and possibly a number of others, have systematical ly been robbing the government for years has come as a terriblo shock to the German people, who are prjud of the proverbial honesty of their gov ernment officials, and who havo always contended that while fraud might be found in America and Kussia, all Ger man government officers would always bo found to como up to tho Roosevelt standard, and be able to show a record as clean as a hound's tooth.. It is impossible to find out at this time how many officials are implicated or suspected; tho government even re fuses to. let it become known how many people aro under arrest besides the leaders, lleinrich and Fraukenthal. The latter is a multi-millionaire, nnd it is some consolation to think that he will be able to make good tile losses, !Genan ide I though this will not heal tho wounded rru u.. , a n Ur o e ; fair juHt ng hc wa8 about to e hig ech for th ; of th6 ari. ; t- e ition h all(f wa9 80 up8L,t by the news that ho found it almost impossible to entertain tho King and Queen of Sweden, who were his guests at the time.

KANSAS RIVERS RISE AGAIN Rains Swell Streams and Weather Bureau Predicts Hood. Prospect Is That Water Will Go Even Higher Than Before Veritable Cloudburst in Kaw Valley Resi dents of Topeka Much Alarmed at Outlook. Kansas City, Juno 13. Unusually heavy rains fell yesterday in, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa and the weather bureau predicts that the Kaw and tho Missouri rivers will again reach the high stage on Wednesday night. At 5 p. m. tho Missouri hero had fallen .25 of a foot, but had risen .1 of a foot at 8t. Joseph and continues to rise there. The Kaw fell about six inches yesterday and was stationary last night. At Topeka tho Kaw is rising rapidly. , The weather bureau predicts that tho new flood at Topeka will etceed that of Tuesday. All of tho tributaries of the Kaw are very high, and moro rain is threatened. Tho crest of the new flood hero will be reached Sunday night. A hoayy downpour yesterday morning caused some additional trou blo from flooded basements in the West bottoms, where the sewers were unable to carry otf tho excess. No further damage was experienced in tho stock yards, Argentine and Armourdale, Kan sas, and in Harlem, Mo., and none is expected. The stockyards are still idle and the packing houses were unable to continue working even if they had stock. The railroads, on the other hand, were in better shape, but schedules were still disarranged. CANADA CLOSES DOOR. All Japanese Immigration is Shut Off for One Year. ore January 1 of next year.

It became known here yesterday that a woman school teacher - thwarted a plot to kill Czar Aieholas just after the ceremonies in the Gulf of Finland on the occasion of the king's visit.
