CHOLERA IN ST. PETERSBURG.
Government May Have to Proclaim
Martial Law.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 21. St. Pet
ersburg is in the deadly grasp of
Asiatic cholera, which already has ex
ceeded in severity and number of
deaths the visitation of 1S93. The
disease is increasing daily at an alarm
ing rate, and unless the authorities
show in the future a much greater
degree of ability to cope with the
situation than they have in the past,
there is every reason to fear that it
will get out of hand. The govern
ment's threat to apply the provisions
of martial law has 'driven the munici
pal officials to bend all their energies
to clearing the city of the scourge.
The aldermanic council Saturday
voted $230,000 to enlarge the hospital
space, to purchase and distribute dis
infectants, the supply of which in St.
Petersburg is well nigh exhausted,
and to expedite the interment of
bodies, which has been notoriously
slow. The deadhouses are over
crowded and many corpses lie un
buried. Under his authority, the prefect of
St. Petersburg, General Dracheffcky,
on Saturday prohibited the sale of
liquor throughout the city, including
the government vodka shops, until
September 22, and he has further or
dered that hereafter the sale of the
liquor shall be suspended at 2 P. M.
on Saturday until 1 A. M. Monday.
This action has been taken in order
to diminish alcoholic excesses, which
very materially increase the liability
to cholera infection and the general
spread of the disease.
USE PRIVATE TCHOOLS.
Mrs. Rockefeller Says Public Institu
tions Are tor Poor.
Milwaukee, Was., Sept. 22. Mrs.
William Rockefeller, who, with her
husband, is in this city, said yesterday
that she believed the children of the
rich should be sent to private rather
than to public schools.
"All I have ever tried to be is just
an ordinary mother," said Mrs. Wil
liam Rockefeller, at the Pfister Hotel.
"I have two sons and two daughters,
and they are just four ordinary, boys
and girls. I have brought them up
the best I knew how, and used all
the common sense I had to think of
the best ways and means to make
them good average men and women.
"Did my boys eo to public schools?
No; that would have been most sel
fish in a city like New York, where
our schools are crowded. It is only
fair that parents who can afford it
should send their children to private
schools, and thus allow room in the
public schools for children who must
depend upon the public schools for
their entire education.
"My boys were sent', like thousands
of other New York children, to pri
vate schools, where they were in daily
contact with other children. They
studied like ordinary boys and had the
same ambitions in their school work.
When they had finished school they
were sent away to college."
MAKE LAST STAND.
Nevada Only State inUnion That Al
lows Gambling.
Reno, Nev., Sept. 22. The gamblers
of the United States will make their
final stand for freedom in Nevada
next month. At that time a special
election is to be held in Reno to give
the people an opportunity to vote on
the question whether or not the gam
bling houses of this city should be
closed.
For six months the fight has been
in the making, each side making every
preparation for the contest. Nevada
is now the only state in the union
where gambling is licensed. Mon
tana legislated it out of existence
some time ago. Arizona followed
suit, and the toleration which kept
gambling going in Denver and Salt
Lake has been withdrawn.
Nevada only remains, and nearly
every prominent gambler in the coun
try is now located in this state.
Firefighters Lose Ground.
Albany, N. Y., Sept. 22. Although
New York has one of the best
equipped forest fire fighting organiza
tions in the country, fresh fires are
being reported daily from the Adiron
dacks and Catskill regions. Unless
there is a heavy rain soon the dam
age may approximate that of the de
structive fires of 1903, when over
430.000 acres were burned over, en
tailing a loss of $800,000 in standing
timber, logs and pulp wood. Every
effort is being made to hold the pres
ent fires in control. In 132 towns in
the Adirondacks and Catskill regions
743 fire wardens are at work.
Paris Has Big Fire.
Paris, Sept. 22. Fire broke out
last night in the Central Telephone
building and spread with such rapidity
that the telephone employes were
forced, after trief and ineffectual ef
forts, to extinguish the flames, to flee
hastily to the streets. The entire
building was soon in flames, and this,
together with the postofficc, which is
located close to the Place des Vic
tories, was totally destroyed. The
loss is estimated at $5,000,000.
Two Towns Wiped Out.
Chicago, Sept. 22. Long - distance
telephone messages to the Tribune
from Rhinelander, Wis., state that
the towns of Daggan and Woodborow
have been destroyed by forest fires
The 4009 residents of the two towns
are fleeting through the burning
woods to Rhinelander. panic-stricken
Many people of Woodborow are
missing. ,
STEAMER AEON
LOST ON REEF
Ship's Company Land Safely on Iso
lated Coral Island.
Supply ot Food and Water is Saved
From Wreck Captain Removes
Small Engine From Care;o, Fits
Up Boat and Reaches Fanning
Island With News.
Victoria, B. C, Sept. 19. Cabled
advices from Fanning island state
that the steamer Aeon, which left San
Francisco July 6 for Aucland, via
Apia, and was considerably overdue,
was carried on Christmas island by
the strong currents setting on shore.
and became a total wreck. The ship's
company, 50 in all, took to the boats
and landed at a small settlement fac
ing the lagoon, all safe.
There are four women and two chil
dren, mostly wives of officers of the
United States battleship squadron,
who took passage to join their hus
bands in Australia, including Mrs. Pat
rick, wife of Chaplain Patrick, and
family. All are camping on Christ
mas' island awaiting rescue.
The Aeon is fast on the coral island,'
partially full of water and wrecked
beyond all hope of salvage, but the
500 bags of mail aboard were likely
to be recovered. The cargo included
.salmon and 2,000,000 feet of redwood
and some gasoline engines. One of
these was fitted in a ship's boat to
take Captain Downie, the second of
ficer and two enginers to Fanning
island, lying 14 miles northwest, to
cable news of the disaster.
Some of the salmon and general
merchandise was recovered and taken
ashore with the ship's boats, and a
stock of water secured, the supply on
Christmas island being poor. Cap
tain Downie had a difficult time
reaching Fanning island. The engine
fitted in the ship's boat refused to,
work, and the boat was rowed back
to Christmas island, where it was re
fitted. After a long trip he reached Fan
ning island this morning. The crew
was treated kindly by the staff of the
Fanning island cable station. The
steamer Manuka, of the Canadian
Australian line, fortunately is making
a call at Fanning island to land sup
plies on her present voyage, an'd is
due Tuesday next. It is expected she
will make a call at Christmas island
and take off the survivors pf the Aeon,
who will be landed in Sydney by the
Manuka.
Meanwhile the survivors have
plenty of food and water, and there
is shelter for the women in the houses
of a working camp of some pearl fish
ermen employed by a British com
pany. From the day the -Aeon left "Sari
Francisco nothing had been heard of
her until the dispatch telling of the
safety of the passengers on Christmas
island. This island is located near
the equator, about 1000 miles south of
Honolulu, and 3300 miles southwest of
San Francisco. It is nearly 1000 miles
northeast of Apia, and it is supposed
that the vessel was disabled in her
machinery and drifted or in some
other manner mannged to make the
island in safety. Fanning island is
just south of Christmas island, and
both are British possessions.
Christmas island has only a few in
habitants, is off the track of even
wind-jammers, and is one of the
world's most isolated spots.
Wrights Will Not Give Up.
Dayton, O., Sept. IS. When asked
if the accident yesterday would deter
either Orville or his brother, now in
France, from further flights, Lorin
Wright replied:
"Decidedly no. My brothers will
pursue these tests until the midlines
are as nearly perfect as it is possihb
to make them, if they are not killed
in the meantime, and we have never
felt much apprehension, knowing that
both hoys are cautious in the ex
treme." The aged father of the injured man
is at Greens Fork. Ind., and will not
be advised of the accident until morn
ing. Lorin Wright and his sister,
Catherine, await with much anxiety
the outcome of their brother's in
juries. Two New Electric Lines.
Spokane, Wash., Sept. 19 Two big
electric lines are planned to connect
this city with the Columbia River
near the mouth of the Spokme. It
has been announced that Jay P.
Graves and his associates purpose to
run a line to Davcnoort. then north
to the Spokane and Columbia Rivers.
Now the Big Bend Transit company
states that work is about to begin on
its line, which will extend from Spo
kane to the big river. The BiK Bend
Company has decided to increase its
capital stock from $100,000 to $3 000,
000. Stewart Again Disappointed.
Los Angeles, Sept. 19. A dispatch
to Los Angeles from Fort Iluachuca,
Ariz., says that Colonel Stewart, the
"military exile" at Fort Gr.-int, left
Fort Iluachuca yesterday to return
to his post in obedience to the war
department's order to return there
and forego the physical test of riding
the 90 miles, which he had previously
been directed to undergo. Colonel
Stewart's physical condition is given
as the reason for sending him back
Upholds Ancient Law.
Lansing. Mich., Sept. 19. In an
opinion filed yesterday the Michigan
supreme court sustained the constitu
tionality of the maximum freight rate
law of 1872, which has been ignored
by the railroads as obsolete and de
nounced by them as unjust, unreason
able and confiscatory.
NEGLECT.S GRAND CANAL.
China Laying Up Trouble for Future,
Says Critic.
Shanghai, Sept. 21. A writer in the
North China Herald protests against
the ruin which is being allowed to
overtake the great triumph of engi
neering, the Grand Canal of China.
The government, he points out ,is al
lowing the canal to go to decay. The
lower stretches have within the past
few months been allowed to become
the habitat of organized and aggres
sive river pirates, who fire into steam
launches and plunder passenger boats
and cargo boats indiscriminately. In
the upper regions of the canal there
is, on the other hand, a constant
shortage of water, or so much that it
cannot be utilized. A more perfeel
provision by nature of vast natur.-u
dams in the great lakes of southwest
Shantung and northern. Kaingsu it
would be difficult to find anywhere,
but they are either unused or mis
used. The writer goes on to allude to the
silting-up of the erratic Yellow river,
which is now in many places as much
above the level of all the surrounding
country as the second story of a house
above the ground. Those who know
best, he says, predict another tre
mendous calamity from this source in
the not distant future. Then there
will be exclamations of surprise that
it did not come sooner, and howls for
funds for "relief." Millions of Chi
nese will be impoverished, hundreds
of thosands of them will be rendered
homeless, and tens of thousands of
them drowned and starved.
IOWA SYSTEM NOT LEGAL.
Federal-Court Strikes at Evasion of
Prohibition Law.
Davenport, la., Sept. 21. According
to a decision rendered Saturday by
Judge Smith McPherson, of the
United States circuit court, the Iowa
mulct law system, under which sn
loons are now operating, is illegal.
Judge McPherson further declares the
Iowa mulct law is no license system
and that there has been no license
system in Iowa for the last quarter
of a century, and for that time there
has never been a lawful sale of liquor
as a beverage within the state of
Iowa. He further holds that no per
son under any circumstances, can
fawfully sell liquor as a beverage in
Iowa. The decision was made in a
suit of the United Breweries Com
panies of Chicago vs. the Civic Fed
eration of Davenport. The complain
ants charged the federation with a
conspiracy, and sought to enjoin them
from abating property on which a sa
loon had been closed, Judge McPher
son denied the application for a writ
of injunction. Under the mulct law
Iowa saloonkeepers have been paying
$000 annually as a tax, with the un
derstanding that it legalized their sale
of intoxicating liquors and gave them
relief from the old probationary law,
which is still on the statute books.
BIG GUNS ROAR IN PARIS.
Sleep Almost Impossible to Citizens
During Military Maneuvers.
Paris, Sept, 21. Sleep in Paris has
been almost out of the question these
last nights, and Parisians and their
American and other foreign visitors
are getting a very good idea of what
it feels like to be in a besieged city.
The French military maneuvers this
year are on a larger scale than ever
before, more than 100,000 men taking
part in them, and every effort has
been made to keep the conditions as
nearly as possible to those of actual
warfare. A supposed German army
is endeavoring to repeat what the
Prussians did in 1870-71, while a
French army is defending the city
with bulldog-like tenacity.
This is why you drink your absinthe
amidst the thunder of guns which
roar and belch fire from every fort in
the triple line of defenses which sur
rounds Paris like a wall of steel, and
fond though the French are of mili
tary display and the smell of powder,
they begin to wish it was all over,
that they might eat and sleep in peace.
Plan Present for Kaiser.
Eerlin, Sept. 21. The rumors pre
vailing regarding the existence of
profitable diamond fields in German
Southwest and Southeast Africa are
about to receive confirmation. The
colonial secretary, Herr ""von Dern
burg, will on his return from Africa
present the kaiser with a golden cas
ket full of rough diamonds from the
German colonies. The casket, which
has been manufactured by a Cape
Town jeweler, is five inches long and
two inches wide. The lid of the box
is inset with seven lage diamonds,
Wolves Kill Little Girl.
Ely, Minn., Sept. 21. The young
daughter of Peter Kobe, a home
steader living in the wild section
along the Little F'ork river, northern
Minnesota, was attacked by a pack of
wolves while going on an errand to
a neighbor with her young bro'her
and was killed and partly devoured.
The boy escaped, and. running home,
gave the alarm. The mother hastened
to the scene of the tragedy and found
the horribly mutilated remains of her
child.
Heads Off Hill's Road.
Winnipeg, Sept. 21. By the pur
chase of the Alberta Irrigation com
pany's line in South Alberta for $20.
000.000, the Canadian Pacific railroad
intends making the Crow's Nest Pass
the main line to the Pacific coast to
head off the Great Northern, which
road, it is said, has been trying to get
coritrol of this railway for years.
NEWS NOTES GATHERED FROM
VARIOUS PARTS OF OREGON
BENTON COUNTY WINS.
Great Variety of Splendid Products
Takes First Prize.
Salem. Benton county has won
first place in the county exhibit com
petition, and can now claim to be the
banner agricultural county of the
state. The awards were made by the
three judges, Charles Cleveland, of
Gresham; F. H. Scribner, of Wiscon
sin, and R. L. Swaggert, of Umatilla
county. Lane county was given sec
ond place, Yamhill third, Multnomah
fourth, Polk fifth, Columbia sixth and
Clatsop seventh.
Benton's victory was won by a
splendid display put up by Frank
Groves, of Corvallis, who evidently
spared no effort to make the exhibit
complete. While his commercial ap
ple' pack is not so large nor so at
tractive as that from Yamhill, he cov
ered a wider range of products, and
excelled in other particulars. Neither
Benton nor Lane made a particularly
strong feature of any one line of
products, and the general public had
difficulty in deciding which county
made the better exhibit.
Marion county had an exhibit which
would have been a strong rival for
first place, but this county is barred
under the rules, because the fair is
held here, and Marion would have an
advantage in that respect. Benton's
display comprises about every product
that can be grown in Oregon. The
peaches, apples, plums, prunes, grapes,
garden vegetables, seeds, grains,
grasses, dairy products, . etc., are all
represented by specimens of surpass
ing excellence.
ONE TRUANT OFFICER BEST.
County School Superintendents Make
Recommendations.
Salem. Twenty-eight county su
perintendents were in attendanc at
the conference of superintendents
here. A general informal discussion
was had and a number of resolutions
were adopted proposing changes in
the plan of school management.
Among other things it was recom
mended that there be one truant of
ficer for each county instead of sev
eral, as at present; that the county
court be authorized to pay tuition in
hitch schools for children who have
no high school opportunities in their
own districts; that county institutes
be held for four days instead of three,
and that teachers receive pay for five
days instead of three; that the holding
of the eighth grade examinations be
again placed in the hands of the teach
ers, but with uniform questions, as at
present.
Infected Orchard Razed.
Grants Pass. The first instance of
the real enforcement of the fruit in
specting law to a letter was exampled
in the destruction of the orchard on
the Cass place, just south of town.
The fruit trees on this place have
stood for several years without any
care, because the estate was in liti
gation in the courts. The authorities
had notified the owners and parties
interested, but no heed was taken.
Finally the county fruit inspector or
dered the trees all grubbed up. as
they were deemed a public danger and
nuisance.
Benton County Rejoices.
Corvallis. When the news reached
here thit the Benton county exhibit
at the state fair had again been award
ed first nrize, genuine enthusiasm
was manifested about the Commer
cial club, and now there is talk of
celebrating this victory in proper
style, i-lags are flying from public
buildings and prominent business
houses, and the news of the victory
at the state fair was flashed on the
curtains of the electric theaters in
this city.
Complaint Against Rates.
Salem Another complaint relative
to excessive tariii on grain from past
ern Oregon, to Portland lias boon filed
by Georcre Feebler of Pendleton in the
office of the railroad commission. The
complaint covers virtually the samr
points as were covered by the investi
gations of the railroad commission, for
which hearings were ordered to be held
the latter part of the month, both at
Wasco and Pendleton.
Contract for Hatchery Let.
Tillamook. Master Fish Warden Mc
Allister has let a contract to F. A. Erix
on of Salem to build the Trask fish
hatchery, the ' contract price being
$1,892. work to commence immediately.
No bids were received fronv Tillamook.
Superintendent Sprague will be re
tained at the Trask butchery, lie is at
present placing the Walla Walla hatch
ery in working order.
Milk Factory for Eugene.
Eugene. It is practically assured
that Eugene will have a milk-condensing
plant that will handle 20,000
nounds of milk daily, and which will
be in operation witlrn half a year.
Some days ago C. E. Rogers was here
looking over the situation for his as
corintcs. It is stated positive'y that
the project will b" pushed to comple
tion at an early date.
Wallowa to Have Courthouse.

TREE YIELDS $25 IN NUTS.
Llnn County Soil Is Well Adapted for
English Walnuts.
Albany. A big walnut tree in the
yard of the residence of L. E. Blain,
in this city shows the-possibilities of
walnut culture in this part of the
stae. Though it stands on the poor
est kind of land for fruit growing, and
has never received scientific culture,
the tree this year produced $25 worth
of nuts. This shows the immense
profit of an acre of similar trees.
The nuts have not yet been picked,
but it is conservatively estimated that
the tree contains at least 10; pounds.
Mr. Blain never seels the nuts, keeping
them for his own use, but this week
he refused an offer of 25 cents a
pound for the entire product of his
tree.
This tree is 14 years old, and stands.
30 feet high. It is a French walnut
of the Mayette variety. rMr. Blain
believes that had it been properly
trimmed when young and placed in
good soil, like that of the Santiani
bottoms, in this county, it would h;!ve
.attained its present growth and bear
ing qualities in seven or eight years.
Voting trees now growing under these
conditions give evidence of' verifying
that belief.
Walnut culture has received a big;
impetus in Linn county in the past
year, and many small orchards are
being planted. The acreage was ap
proximately doubled during the past
year, and there are now about 50O
acres devoted to commercial walnut
growing in this county. All of these
trees were planted in the last three
or four years, however, and are not
yet bearing for the market, but in a
few years the walnut output of Linn
county will be notable. '
New Mill Soon Ready.
Waldport The new shingle mill
building is nearing completion and will
soon be jn operation. The company ha
purchased 500 cords of shingle 'holt
from William Brooks and will begin
hauling next week. Mr. Daly of Port
hind 1ms the contract for the hauling
and will put on a number of logging;
teams. The bolts will be hauled from
he Brooks farm, four miles lelow Wald
port, across to Waldjiort slough and
brought down by scow. The company
hns made extensive plans for the manu
facture of shingles and a large number
of men will be given employment.
Japs Get Big Tract.
The Dalles The Columbia Lilnrl &.
Produce company, a corporation of Jap
anese which was incorporated some few
weeks ago, has purchased about l.OOO
acres of land on Eight Mile, to be pre
pared at onee for planting to fruits and
garden truck. The produce raised on
the place will be principally marketed
in Portland. If the growing of produce
is given as much scientific attention as
the purchase of the land, Portland mar
kets will receive some excellent pro
duce next vear. '
Re-tetablish Academy.
McMinnvi'.lc. The announcement
that the Episcopal church intended t.
re-establish the Bishop Scott acad
emy in this county is hailed with i
great degree of sentimental pride
here, since Yamhill county is the
mother of Episcopaliatiism in the
West. It was in 184S that Bishop
Richmond came to what is now the
Torrencc place, near North Yamhill,
and held the first regular Episcopal
service in Oregon, if not the first west
of the Rocky mountains.
To Continue Publicity Work.
Marsh field. The Marsh Held cham
ber of commerce will keen nrten fr.r
another year. The annual subscrip
tions nave expired, hut more money
has been subscribed, and the publicity
work will be continued. It was de
cided to retain Walter Lyons as sec
retary for the next year.
