Washington, July 2S. In response to an invitation extended by the Unit ed States government in behalf of the geological survey, Great Britain, Ger many and Belgium will send to this country next month their lead.ig ex perts in the prevention of mine disas ters, to aid in the inauguration of the work here. The negotiations were conducted through the State depart ment. The three experts are Captain Des borough, inspector of explosives under the Home office, Great Britain : Herr Meisher, head of the German mine ser vice, and Victor Watteyne, engineer- ln-chief of the administration of mines, Belgium, it is expected that the ex perts will reach New York about the end of August, and proceed to Pitts burg, where the United States Geo logical survey is engaged in erecting a plant for the purpose of conducting in vestigations into the cause of mine explosions. In company with the expert in charge of the technologic branch of the survey, they will visit the fields of Pennsylvania, the coal fields of Illinois, Wyoming, Colorado, Alabama, West Virginia and Ohio, in order that they may learn the conditions under which coal is mined in this country. Experiment stations for the preven tion of disasters have been in opera tion for a number of years in each country represented by the experts, and there the death rate in the mines has been reduced to a minimum. With the knowledge that mine acci dents have been increasing and the death rate constantly becoming larger the Unied States government authori ties are hastening to begin the investi gations which it is believed will great ly reduce the loss of life. It is ex pected that the advice- of the foreign experts will be invaluable. LEVEE GIVES WAY. NEWS NOTES GATHERED FROM VARIOUS PARTS OF OREGON USE OWN MONEY.

Causes Heavy Damage to Farm Land on San Joaquin. Antioch, Cal., July 28. Last night at 2 o'clock about 200 feet of the San Joaquin river levee gave way on the fertile Jersey island tract located east of here, flooding the entire isand, com prising nearly 4,000 acres. The loss will be about $50,000, and fall princi pally upon the Jersey Island company, although there are many small farmers whe hold leases who will lose every thing, as their crops were all practi cally ready to harvest. The Jersey Island company had 100 acres of the finest celery in the river section, estimated at 8,000 carloads, that would have been ready to harvest in about two months. There was also 500 acres of potatoes, besides other vegetables. Nothing will be saved. Besides this direct loss, all the ditches used for draining the land will be ruined. Also thousands of young celery plants that were ready for plant ing are under water. It was intended to make this one of the largest celery fields in the state. transportation to get their products to market, the people of Siuslaw and Co quille are preparing to expend something in the neighborhood of $250,000 of thei own in order to get the federal govern ment interested in the work of improv ing the channels leading from the ocean into the respective bays. They hav come to the conclusion that deep wale must be had, no matter what might b the cost. J. B. Cushman, a prominent sawmill man ot siuslaw, is tn Portland to con or with the government engineers rela tive to the project proposed at Siuslaw and he has received considerable en couragement from Major James Mcln doe, successor to Colonel S. W. Roes er, United States engineers corps, hav ing charge ot the work in this district ine Day inside the Dar has hne deep water, both to Acme and Florence. Mr Cushman says, and no work will be necessary there. At Coqtulle a committee of three eading business men has been placed in charge ot the work and $100,000 has aleady been subscribed for the purpose ot placing a jetty at the mouth of tin bay and bulkheading the same. The Co quille country is in much the same pre dicament as that on Siuslaw. Mr. Cushman asked Major Mclndoe for the services of an engineer to take charge of the work at Siuslaw bar, and he was practically given assurance that he request would be granted, although the matter will have to be submitted be fore the chief of the department first as do also the proposed plans of the property owners there. i o empiov a areaee would be of no avail, says Mr. Cushman. because the sand shifts continually, and the only method of keeping it out of the channel by forcing it out with the current of the river, as is done at the mouth of the Columbia.

Lloyd, of lan gent, recently sold his farm consisting of 3G3 acres of pasture land for $11, non. About live years ago this same farm changed hands and brought $6. 00f. Two years ago W. M. Lloyd paid $8,000 for it. A half dozen of the finest farms in Linn county have changed hands within the oast week There seems to be a steadily increas ing demand for this class of realty. Every day prospective homeseekers are seen touring the country with the view of purchasing and establishing a home. Cement Blocks for Depot. Albany. Three thousand cement blocks have arrived in' the city from Eugene, and are to be used in the building of the new depot at this city. The work on the grounds has pro gressed so rapidly as to call for the laying of the blocks immediately. T. H. Ellis, of Eugene, is the contractor, and has had the suoervision of the making of the blocks for the local structure. A large force of men is now at this city busily engaged in the work of constructing the new depot. Fire Destroys Timber.

He be lieves that dried Royal Annes will net him a bigger profit than fresh Royal Annes at 3 cents a pound, the best price -offered by the canneries. LOSE BY EARLY WOOL SALE. Umatilla Growers Feel They Are Out $40,000 as Result. 1 Pendleton Umatilla county sheep men are very much dissatisfied for hav ing been induced to sell their wool early in the season. They have never been satisfied with the prices received, and reports from recent sales in Mon tana have convinced them that they are really beaten out of between $30, 000 and $40,000. The reports from Montana show that wool there brought an average of five cents more a pound than the Eastern Oregon wools, and this difference can not be accounted for by the difference in freight rates and shrinkage. An advantage of one cent is accounted for the Montana wool because of the freight rate, and last year the shrink age of the Montana wcol was seven per cent less than that grown in East- ern uiegon. computing prices on a basis of approximately the same ratio of shrinkage for this year, the Mon tana growers were readily entitled to 2, cents more a pound than the Ore gon flock owners. The Oregon grow ers, therefore, naturally feel that their wool was worth as much as the Mon tana wool less this 2 cents, and not less the 5 cents, the actual difference paid. Had the growers of this county alone have received prices correspond ing to the prices paid in Montana, they would have received in the neighbor hood of $4,000 more for their clip than they did receive, and taking Eastern Oregon as a whole, the difference would have mounted into the hundreds of thousands. GOVERNOR WANTS DELEGATES Can't Fink Sportsmen Willing to At tend National Meeting. Salem. The National League of American Sportsmen, which meets at .awton, Oklahoma, October 12 and 13. has requested Governor Chambcr- ain to appoint from one to five dele gates Irom this state. 1 he governor las requested a number dt sportsmen n Portland to suggest names of per sons who would be willing to repre sent Oregon at the Oklahoma meet ing, but has been unable to secure any suggestions, ihe governor thinks the organizations of sportsmen in Portland should suggest names if they desire representation at the national convention. He has no other method of determining those who arc inter ested or those who would go. HARRIMAN WILL FIGHT. Starts Suit to Prevent Lumbermen Getting Reduced Rate. roruana,. July zi. While the re duced tranmscontinental rates on lum ber shipments from Oregon to the Mid die West will go into effect on all lines on August 15, the Willamette valley lumber mill men have not won their final round, since the Southern Pacific company has opened fire from a new quarter and sued in the Federal court for an injunction against the Inter state Commerce commission's order cutting down the $5 rate to San Fran cisco and bay points. The new attack by the Southern Pacific company will again check the lumber industry in the valley, as it clouds the future with un Temporary injunctions are regarded as very dangerous to business pros pects, and especially so in this case. Although the railroads propose to give a bond to indemnify lumber manufac turers in event of losing the railroads' case in court, the alleged bond does not prove to be any protection to the lum ber industry. No new lumber mill is going to start up and no old mill is go ing to resume business on the promise of a railroad company to reimburse the mill should a lower rate ultimately be made. 1 It is believed by well-informed law yers that there does not exist more than one chance in' 100 for the South ern Pacific company to win any import ant ground in the fight against railroad regulation as a result of its newest at tack upon the validity of the Hepburn law. Should the company win this suit it would destroy the Interstate Commerce commission as at present created and organized. DOUBT SULTAN'S GOOD FAITH. His Flour Mill for Baker. Baker City. A committee of busi ness men. composed of N. C. Haskell, V. J. Patterson and Sam Baer, has finished the work of soliciting a fun wiin wnicn to purchase a site tor tne new 200-barrel flouring mill that is to be built by G. B.

Albany Albany and Lane county are preparing for the annual apple fair to be held some time late in the sea son. The first of these fairs was held last year. The success was so marked that it was decided to again make a showing of the county's resources. Monroe Cannery Idle. Monroe. Monroe has one of the larg est and best equipped canneries in the state, but from latest reports it seems that the outfit is to lay idle this season. No contracts for fruit or vegetables have been made with growers, and the chances are that the owners have a white elephant on their hands. i Clubhouse for College Girls. University of Oregon, Eugene. Girls at the University of Oregon will he well housed next year.

The same tariff has been in force on the O. R. & N. The new arrangement was made by spec al permission of the railroad commission and will remain in force until Decem ber 31, 1908. PORTLAND MARKETS. People of Constantinople Accept trade With Stolidity. Constantinople, July 27. The mo mentous act of the sultan of Turkey in proclaiming yersteday the restoration of the constitution of 1876 has left the population of Constantinople un moved. The aspect of the city is to lay perfectly normal and there have been no manifestations of satisfaction of any kind. The stolid fatalism the Moslems, who for centuries past have been accustomed to a regime personal rule and who are not used political freedom, i3 thought partly explain tne apathy everywhere appar ent. Added to this is skepticism regard ing the durability of the new era prom isea. furthermore, past experience and the fact that the sultan conceded a re-establishment of the constitution under extreme pressure inclines the Turks to the belief that the concession is intended merely to surmount the present troubles and avert the threat ened disruption of the empire, and that the earliest opportunity will be taken again to suspend the charter of liberty TOOLE UNDER CHARGES.

On ac count of charges made in connection with state timber land in the Flathead valley district, ' an investigation has been in progress at Kalispell before Governor Norris, and land board and ex-Governor Toole, who was a member of the board when the sales under in vestigation were made. The charges are to the effect that the commission favored the big land companies by sell ing to them through dummies valuable timber land for less than it was worth. Several Witnesses today testified that dummy names were used. When Mr. Toole wished to take the stand attorneys for the complainants objected on the ground that to permit such testimony would grant immunity to any person so testifying. On be half of the governor himself and the other members of the board, the at torney general waived such immunity ar m 1 i n i i . ivir. iooie empnaticauy denied tne charges made by Prodger, as did Mr. Galen, Secretary of State Yoder and Superintendent Harmon. Mr. McCrea also denied having made any such re mark to Prodger. The investigation will be continued and Governor Norris insists he will go to the bottom of things. Girls Sold as Slaves Corunna, Spain, July 27. Dozens of young girls believed to have been des tined for the white slave trade which is said to be flourishing in Cuba, were taken from the steamer Isla de Panay here today, prior to her sailing, osten sibly for Teneriffe. Embarkation of many young women on the vessel aroused the suspicions of the authori ties and a raid disclosed the presence of many girls stowed away like slaves once were in the African trade. Many of them had been bought from their parents. . Tacoma, July 25. It is officially an nounced by the Northern Pacific Rail way company today that consideration given by the transportation lines to the recent decision of the Interstate Commerce commission on the question of rates on forest products has termi nated in an announcement by railway lines that rates recently fixed by the commission will, as soon as possible, be put into effect by the railways not that they think the rates are just, but they submit for the time being to the Interstate Commerce commission's order. No application for temporary injunc tion against the order will be made. nevertheless the railways expect to bring suit urging that the rates are unreasonable and asking a determina tion in the courts to that effect. This determination cannot, of course. be had until final hearing and decision in court; in the meantime it is under stood the only legal rate will be that fixed by the commission, and even should the suit be determined in favor of the railways in the end, that deter mination cannot be retroactive, and will operate only from that time on. It is also announced that the railway lines will settle for past business on the basis of the commission's rate, and upon such settlements being made, the security up in protection of the suit before Judge Hanford will be released.

Shipping inter ests of the entire country, represented by a committee especially appointed at a general conference of the shippers held recently in Chicago, decided at a meeting here today to ask presidents of Eastern railroads to meet them to discuss the proposed increase in freight rates. It was the unanimous opinion of the committeemen that be fore beginning a fight it would be wise to bring about such a meeting with the railroad officials, at the same time asking them to put no advance into effect until after the conference had been held. While action on the rate situation was in progress, a long protest and appeal to the Interstate Commerce commission was being formulated bv the National Industrial Traffic league. composed of scores of influential man ufacturing and shipping organizations. at Manitou Springs, Colo.
