is county, Ohio, April 10, 1847, and
reared in Defiance county Ohio, on a
farm. He enlisted in the Union army
in the fall of 1863, in Company E,
Fourteenth Ohio Volunteers, P. I., and
was discharged in July, lsbo, at the
close of the war. He entered Ohio
Wesleyan University in 1866 and grad
uated in 1873. He then read law and
was admitted to the bar in 1875. tie
worked his way through college and
his law course. In his early life he
taught school. He was a lifelong Re
publican and a resident of Pomeroy,
Wash., since 1882.
Mr. Cosgrove was a member of the
state constitutional convention and was
a McKinley and Roosevelt elector. At
the time of his election as governor he
was a regent of the state university,
an appointee of Governor Mead. He
was prominent in Grand Army and
lodge circles, being a member of a
number of secret orders, including the
Masons, Elks and Oddfellows.

owner of a 1,400-acre farm in Wash
ington and Idaho.
He leaves a family consisting of a

CARS FOR WOMEN.
New York Transit Company Starts
Novel Innovation.
New York, March 30. Although the
idea of having separate subway cars
for women doesn't seem to meet with
the approval of the Interborough Rapid
Transit company, a decisive test of the
plan will be made on the Hudson tun
nel system beginning next Wednesday
morn me. it it is iound to woric satis
factorily in adding to the accommorla
tions for passengers or facilitating the
movement of trains, it will be made a
permanent feature of the line.
William G. McAdoo, president of the
Hudson & Manhattan Railroad com
pany, in announcing his plan today,
said that when the idea was suggested
first it did not seem feasible, but after
studying the problem, he decided it
was well worth testing.
The special cars for women will be
run only in rusn nours to Degin.
They will be attached to all trains
leaving Hoboken between 7 and 9
o'clock in the morning, and those leav
ing Manhattan between 4:30 and 7
o'clock in the evening.
The porters now at each station will
pay particular attention to the last cars
and their women passengers.
Russians Are Furious.
St. Petersburg, March 30. The so
lution of the Balkan crisis has been re
ceived here with rage and shame
rather than with a feeling of relief by
the press and Chautinistic public,
which blames Foreign Minister Iswol
sky for the surrender of the Slav in
terests without considering the circum
stances which have dictated the Rus
sian policy. In government circles,
however, no illusions are entertained
with regard to the hard necessities
which have forced Russia to a humble
role during the crisis.
Leprosy Vaccine Found.
Manila, March 30. Dr. Moses
Klegg, bacteriologist of the bureau of
science at Manila, has succeeded in
cultivating the leprosy bacillus. He
used the organisms from both living
lepers and the bodies of victims of
leprosy. The bureau of science has
prepared a leprosy vaccine and intends
to carry forward a series of experi
ments with the object of establishing
a special treatment for leprosy. Great
things are expected of this discovery.
Old Mine Disaster Found.
Nacozari, Mex., March 30. Miners
emploved in the famous Babacanora
property have uncovered evidences of
a mine disaster many years ago, in
which 50 men are said to have been
buried alive by a huge cavein. Two
skeletons have been uncovered in the
old workings now being cleared.
NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
COYOTES KILL HORSES.
Umatilla Rancher Reports Loss of
Two Valuable Colts.
Pendleton It is reported by G. W.
Burgess, a rancher near Meacham, that
coyotes are so bad in his neighborhood
this spring that even colts on the range
are being killed. He reports the kill
ing of at least two valuable colts of
his last week.
The method of the coyotes is to fol
low a band of horses and as soon as
one is separated to pounce upon it.
The reason assigned for the unusual
boldness of the pests is that they have
greatly multiplied during the few years
the bounty has been off. Since the re
cently voted state bounty and the fact
that some of the sheepmen are offering
a dollar a pelt in addition to the amount
allowed by the state, and even promis
mg to board them free, hunters are be
ginning to come into this section from
all parts of the state and there is prom
ise of an active war upon sheep, calf
and colt destroyers.
Many Would Be Judge.
Salem There is already a scramble
for the office of judge of the Fifth ju
dicial circuit, created by the regular
session of the legislature. Three
names with strong endorsements have
already been received J. A. Eakin, a
brother of Supreme Court Justice
Eakln; C. H. Abercrombie. city at
torney of Astoria, and Frank J. Tay
lor. Also Governor Benson will soon
have to fill two vacancies on the state
board of dental examiners, one on the
state board of pharmacy and one on the
board of regents of the state uni
versity. Klamath Crop News.
Klamath Falls Spring farm work is
going on actively in Klamath county.
The fine weather of the past two weeks
have made the roads almost dusty and
put the ground in fine condition for
plowing. Much new land is now being
gotten ready for cultivation. " A great
deal of the stock thrown out of work
on account of the completion of the
railroad to water is being used on large
contracts for clearing and plowing.
Farmers all over the basin are greatly
encouraged over the prospects of a fine
crop season.
Tag Must Stay With Auto.
Salem Attention has been called to
the practice of automobile owners in
transferring a state license tag from
one machine to another. This may not
be done under the law, as a descrip
tion of the machine is on file in the
office of the secretary of state to cor
respond with every tag. When a ma
chine is sold by the owner the tag
should go with the machine, and the
ecretary of state advised, so that the
transfer may be noted on the books.
Seventeen Cents for Clip.
Pendleton The first wool sale of the
season in this section is reported from
Echo, where is located the wool scour
ing plant. Charles Green, a wool buy
er of this section, contracted for the
clip of Walden Rhea at a price of 17
cents a pound. It is considered an ex-
eedingly high price, since this is all
sand wool, due to the nature of the soil
in the neighborhood. The same quality
of wool sold last year at prices ranging
about 10 cents.
Spring Work Near Oakland.
Oakland The fine weather of the
past week has enabled the farmers to
take up their spring work. More land
has been seeded to grain in this lo
cality this year than for several years
past. The farmers who failed to get
all their crops in during the winter
are now finishing their seeding. The
lamb crop in this vicinity is unusually
large and a number of farmers expect
to have quite a number ready for the
Eastern markets.
Stock Law Objected To.
Cleone People of Eastern Multno
mah county are considerably aroused
on account of the passage at the last
legislature of the bill prohibiting the
running of stock at large in Multno
mah county west of the Sandy river.
Many voters believe that the automo
bile interests of Portland were instru
mental in getting the bill passed.
Others, however, have no objections to
keeping their stock at home.
First Dividend. La Grande Bank.
La Grande Schedules and pro rate
dividends to be issued by the receiver
of the Farmers and Traders' bank will
soon be speeding toward Washington,
to be converted into checks on the re
ceivership. The amount of the first
dividend will be 40 per cent, as new
claims have appeared against the bank
and cannot be settled except by the
courts.
Gravel Roads at Elgin.
Elgin At a meeting of the Com
mercial club the citizens agreed to
meet the farmers in the city limits
with gravel streets. This has been
under way for some time, and as the
farmers are much interested, it is ex
pected that in a short time Elgin will
have gravel roads extending into the
country five or ten miles.
6,000 Eggs Are Hatching.
Salem The greatest chicken ranch
in Oregon begun to yield returns at the
Krcbs hop farm near Waconda, on the
Oregon Electric, when the first batch
of chickens was hatched by incubators
a few days ago. There are now 6,000
chickens in process of incubation, and
due for hatching in a few days.
IMMt-NSE LAND DEAL.
Oregon Land Co. Purchases 40,000
Acres in Lake County.
Lakeview The largest deal in the
history of Lake county has just been
closed here by the Oregon Valley Land
company, purchasing the holdings of
the Heryford Land & Cattle company.
The sale transfers 40,000 acres of the
choicest lands in the county. The tract
embraces lands in Goose lake, Chewau
can and Drews valleys, as well as much
land in the borders of Oregon and Cali
fornia. Close to Lakeview are 15,000
acres of this land, which added to the
35,000 acres heretofore owned by the
Oregon Valley Land company, form
the most valuable tract now under pro
cess of colonization by that company.
The holdings are among the oldest in
Oregon.
The sale of these lands is a surprise
to many, as the company was strong
financially. But Mr. Heryford and
his partners realize the stock raising
business will sooner or later be driven
out by the incoming rush of settlement
and saw fit to have those lands turned
into farms.
By this purchase the Oregon Valley
Land company has added very consid
erably to the interest of its contract
holders, by throwing into the origina
tract so much of the finest, lands
Oregon. The lands purchased from
the Heryford Cattle company are val
ued at least at half a million dollars
and very much more when the valuable
water .rights going with them are
taken into consideration.
Add to Cherry Acreage.
Cleone The owner of the Webb farm
has just planted 10 more acres of Lam
bert cherries on her place. Miss Webb
says that she finds cherry raising
very profitable business and that the
Lambert cherry possesses qualities su
perior to those of any other variety
the main points of superiority being
the large size, the late maturity and
the hardiness, making them a good va
riety to ship to Eastern points. Last
season 40 tons of cherries were har
vested from the Webb orchard of
10
acres. The bulk of this crop was haul
ed to Portland.
Shipper Sues Railroad Company.
Portland Charging the Oregon Rail
road & Navigation company with fail
ure to deliver l.zou boxes oi green ap
ples in Texas until they had become
rotten, Page & Son have brought suit
in the Circuit court to recover $1,200
damages. The apples were shipped in
two consignments. They were sold at
their destination, after being refused
by the consignee, and the local com
mission merchants allege the ' damage
to be $ 1.200.
Horse Fair Offers Cups.
Salem At a meeting of the horse
fair committees of the Salem board of
trade it was announced that several
valuable cups will be offered as premi
urns as well as about 21,000 in cash
The fair will be held on April 3, and
there will be harness events, classes
for women and children and various
other attractive features. The rail
roads have offered free return of all
stock to point of origin after the show,

BALKAN SITUATION IS ACUTE
Peace Efforts of Powers Fail,
and
, Outbreak Is Expected.
PariB, March 26. It is understood
in official circles that the Balkan situ
ation on account of the irreconcilable
attitude of Austria-Hungary has now
reached its most acute stage and that a
few days will decide between peace
or war. The efforts of Great Britain,
France and Russia to present a formal
settlement of the difficulty acceptable
to Baron von Aehrenthal, the Austro
Hungarian minister of foreign affairs,
having failed, Austria-Hungary is ex
pected forthwith to deliver an ultima
turn at Belgrade.
After this, if Servia refuses to make
complete surrender, officials here think
that Austria-Hungary will dispatch an
army across the frontier. The Eclair
today announces that the absent offi
cers belonging to the French regiment
on the Eastern frontier have been re
called. The minister of war says "that
certain precautionary measures have
been taken on account of the tension
of the Balkan situation."
The government this afternoon was
officially advised that Russia had
agreed to accept without reserve the
annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
by Austria-Hungary. It is hoped that
this will remove Baron Aehrenthals
objection to the Servian note formu
lated by Great Britain, France and
Russia.
CASTRO LACKS CASH.
Deposed Dictator of Venezuela Shorn
of All His Splendor.
raris, March 2b. In striking con
trast with his first visit to Paris, ex
f resident Castro, oi Venezuela, ar
rived here last night, bereft of his
suite of 20 followers, with crestfallen
manner and almost entirely unnoticed
by his fellow passengers from Co
logne, who regarded him with pity
rather that any other sentiment. With
a few intimates the ex-dictator dined
at his hotel and then retired to an or
dinary bedroom entirely lacking in
the luxury of his former quarters in
the same establishment.
The truth seems to be that he is in
reduced circumstances, at least for the
moment, as his monthly income of
$60,000, according to information giv-
en by a member of the household, is
temporarily tied up.
General Castro, with great irrita
tion, particularly after he had been in
formed that the French Trans-Atlantic
company would not land him at La
Guayra on account of a protest of the
Venezuelan government, shut the door
in the face of reporters. His wife,
however, said he would make up his
mind where to land after he got aboard
ship at Bordeaux.
TEST SPOKANE DECISION.
Railroads Can Get No Encouragement
From Prouty's Explanation.
Chicago, March 26. On behalf of
the Western railroads involved in the
Spokane rate case, J. C. Stubbs today
tried to get some light on the decision
of the commission. At his request,
Commissioner Prouty met him and the
various points in the decision were
gone over and discussed.
It is understood that the commis
sioner informed the railroad man that
the decision meant about what it said
and that the order was drawn in a way
which, in the opinion of the commis
sion, would make it most aimcuit to
attack successfully. No secret is made
of the fact that the railroads have de
cided to test the order in the courts,
because they feel that the struggle
between the commission and the rail
roads with regard to rate principles
must be fought out to a finish.
Hsrriman Faces.
New York, March 26. A suit for
$800,000 has been begun against E. H.
Harriman by John Donovan, who says
this sum is due him as commission on
the sale in 1901 of the St. Joseph Rail
way, Light, Heat & Power companfy,
of St. Joseph, Mo. Donovan declares
Mr. Harriman agreed to give him 25
per cent of any sum received for the
property over and above $1,100,000,
He says that Mr. Harriman sold his in
terest for $4,400,000 less $100,000
commission to brokers. Mr. Harriman
has filed an answer in which he denies
making any contract with Donovan.
Praise Given Shackleton.
London, March 26. Lieutenant
Shackleton's discoveries have brought
chorus of praise and admiration.
Louis Charles Bernachi, who was physi
cist to the Discovery Antarctic expedi
tion in 1901-1904, said in an interesting
talk todav that the sledge journey of
126 days under such conditions as were
described is one of the most magnifi
cent feats in the annals of polar explor
ation. A man working in the Arctic
requires 36 ounces of food daily, but
the Shackleton party cut themselves
down to 20 ounces.
Two Dead in Freight Wreck.
Ogden, March 26. Engineer Layng
and Brakeman Pearson dead, Fireman
Rasmussen seriously injured, an engine
buried to the smokestack in 'sand, and
ve freight cars piled up indiscrimi
nately, is the brief but disastrous rec
ord made at 5 o'clock this morning by
Oregon Short Line freight No. 245, in
charge of Conductor Schnoke and En
gineer Layng, running between Grang
er and Green River, Wyo., on the
lately double-tracked piece of track.
Investigate Land Frauds.
Washington, March 26. Additional
special agents to investigate alleged
land frauds in the West were appoint
ed today by Secretary of the Interior
iBallinger. i
DEATH WINS
LONG FIGHT
Governor Cosgrove, of Washington,
Dies at Paso Robles.
While Patient Had Been Much
ened by Trip to Olympia,
Weak-
Hopes
Were Had for His Final
Recov-
ery Heart Failure Was Immediate
Cause of Death.
Paso Robles, Cal., March 19. Sam
uel G. Cosgrove, governor of the state
of Washington, died here suddenly at
3 :30 o'clock yesterday morning.
Heart failure was the immediate
cause of the governor's death. Al
though his condition had recently been
reported as improving, the governor
had really been growing worse, and two
days ago he took to his room. Although,
conscious of his weakened condition,
death was sudden and there was no op
portunity for a last farewell between,
husband and wife.
Bright's disease had marked Govern
or Cosgrove for a victim over eight
months ago. He broke down in health
during the Washington primary cam
paign, retiring to his home at Pomeroy,.
Wash., in September, and was brought,
to Paso Robles hot springs shortly after
the election in November. Although
Governor Cosgrove improved slightly
under the treatment here, the strain of
the trip to Olympia to take the inaug
ural oath was too great and an immedi
ate reaction set in.
Mrs. Ccsgrove, worn out from her
months of constant attendance upon
her feeble husband, was overcome by
ther grief, but late in the afternoon
had recovered her poise sufficiently to
make the preliminary arrangements for
starting home with the body. It has.
been decided that Mrs. Cosgrove, ac
companied by Mr. and Mrs. J. M. An
derson, of Seattle, friends of the Cos-
groves, win leave raso Kobles this
morning at 5:10 on the north bound
train for San Francisco. If that train
is on time the funeral party will be
able to connect with the Portland ex
press leaving Oakland this afternoon.
This will bring them into Portland
late Tuesday night and a hurried trip
will be made to Olympia, the capital
of Washington. It is the desire of
Mrs. Cosgrove to have services held at
the capitol and later the remains will
be removed to the family home at.
Pomeroy.
FAIR BRINGS THOUSANDS
People From East
Coming to North
Opportunities. west Seeking
Right now the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
exposition is the magnet that is at
tracting thousands of people from East
ern. Southern and Middle Western
states to the Pacific coast partly for
the reason that the exposition will open
up a new line of th ught with its great
displays from Alaska, Hawaii and the
Philippines as well as the Orient, and
partly because of the much advertised
scenic beauties of the states bordering
on the Pacific.
The state of Washington and more
particularly the Puget sound country
will Boon be the mecca for train loads
of strangers. But Washington will
not hold the visitors for an indefinite
period for they havo something in mind
further than a visit to the exposition
at Seattle.
There are opportunities on the Pacific-
coast for the homeseeker as well as
the merchant and manufacturer and the
visitors to the fair intend to see just
what Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, Utah,
Wyoming, Nevada, Oklahoma, as well
as British Columbia have to offer in the-
way of inducements to settlers. Of
course the tourists will be here in large
numbers and their itinerary nearly al
ways includes all the mountain, lake-
and seaside resorts of the Northwest.
The epxosition itself is going to open
the eyes of the thousands of visitors
who will come Seattle expecting to
find an exhibition very similar to what
has been offered before. The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
exposition is not going
to be remembered after its gates close
because of its great size or by the num
ber of its buildings, but because of the
beautiful picture formed by the work
of the builder and landscape artist,
framed in by lakes, mountains and
woodland scenery distributed lavishly
on every hand by nature. When the
exposition opens on June 1 the show
will be complete in every detail, an ex
ample of Western spirit and enterprise.
Indictments for Smuggling.
El Paso, March 29. Under indict
