PHYSICIAN ISSUES EDICT.
Harriman Must Not Labor So Stren
uously as in Past.
Vienna, Austria, July 6. Edward
H. Harriman, the American railroad
wizard, must not work again so hard
or so continuously as he has done in
the past This is the edict of Dr.
Adolf Struempell, the noted Vienna
specialist, who has diagnosed Harri
man's ailment as incipient paralysis.
In obedience to this edict is Harri
man's only safety.
For the present, declares Professor
Struempell, Mr. Harriman must have
complete quiet To this end bis meals
are now being served in his room, and
he only emerges therefrom once a day
to take the mild exercise which has
been prescribed as a part of his course
of treatment.
The course of treatment through
which Mr. Harriman is now being put
is intended to cure his nervous trouble
and get him into as good physical con
dition as possible, after which an en
tirely new course of treatment will be
inaugurated in an effort to relieve the
paralysis which is affecting his limbs.
This cannot be cured, Mr. Harriman
has been informed, but its acute sympt
oirs can be relieved and its progress
stayed.
Mrs. Harriman is remaining con
stantly by his side, and her ministra
tions form an important feature of the
course of treatment being given him.
SUBSTITUTE FOR DIABOLO.
German Invents a New Game Muoh
Less Dangerous to Play.
Paris, July 6. A new game of the
diabolo type is springing into favor
here, and as the American patents have
been taken out, "la funda" will no
doubt be seen before lon in America.
"La funda" is a new form of sling, as
its name shows. A little bag on a
wooden framework is fixed on a swivel
into a sort of tennis racket without
strings or top. The bottom of the bag
is open, and two strong india rubber
bands prevent the ball, a tennis ball,
from falling through. The game is to
sling the ball from one player to an
other or up into the air, to be caught
by the same player at will.
It needs a certain amount of skill
and is certainly less dangerous and just
as healthy as diabolo. The inventor
is a young German named Seeger, who
in a demonstration which he gave the
other afternoon threw a tennis ball
higher than the chimneys of a seven
Btory house and caught it again with
out apparent effort.
WIND LASHES SALT LAKE.
Two Pleasure Launches Imperilled,
but Reach Shore Safely.
Salt Lake, July 6. A wind storm
swept over Great Salt lake last even
ing, dashed the heavy water in huge
broadsides against the Saltair pavilion
and threatened the existence of two
small pleasure boats cruising off shore.
After a struggle with the wind and
the waves in which the voyagers were
drenched with salt water, the launches
regained the pavilion.
In making a landing, one of the
boats was dashed against the pier and
badly damaged. No one, however, was
injured. The gale, though of brief
duration, was one of the most violent
in the history of the lake. Rumors
that one of the boats had gone down
with 60 passengers reached here and
there was great anxiety until the out
come was known.
Ship Fruit by Auto Now.
London, July 6. An experiment
which is being watched with much in
terest by the wholesale dealers in fruit
and vegetables at Covent Garden and
other markets in the metropolis is be
ing made a connection with the con
veying of fruit and vegetables from
long distances by motor. Yesterday
a motor van containing almost a record
load of graves and other fruit, cucum
bers and vegetables, arrived at the
market from Worthing, the journey
being over 60 miles. No damage what
ever was done to the contents of the
packages, and the motor arrived fully
an hour before the merchandise which
had been dispatched by train.
Man Falls lnto"Asphalt.
Los Angeles, July 6. Buried almost
up to his nose in a barrel of liquid
asphalt, Salvador Talamantes, a la
borer, was found early this morning
almost suffocated. It required four
men to get him out. Talamantes fell
into the barrel while crsosing a rail
road trestle. Trying to extricate him
self he plunged both arms into the
asphalt and sank deeper. He was
found by Deputy Constable Miklaus
butz, who wrenched his back trying to
save the man. The Mexican was fin
allly extricated.
Going to Rescue Cook.
New York, July 6. Captain Samuel
W. Bartlett, of Brigus, N. F., and
Herbert L. Bridgman, of Brooklyn. N.
Y., have purchased and are equipping
a steamer for a voyage to Etab, North
Greenland, Paery's base station, about
July 15. The vessel will endeavor to
bring Dr. Frederick A. Cook home and
will also probably take north Mene, the
young Eskimo, who with a number of
his countrymen came to the United
States 12 years ago.
Rhodesia to Be Bought?
Capetown, Cape Colony, July 6. It
is reported from Bualawayo, Rodessa,
that General Iuis Botha, premier of
the Transvaal, at the request of the
South African national convention will
ofTer the chartered South African com
pany $100,000,000 for the purchase of
Rhodesia, by United South Africa.
NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE
DEMAND DOLLAR WHEAT,
Umatilla Growers Will Hold Grain tor
High Price.
Pendleton Deciding to build an
electric line'from Thorne Hollow down
across the Jwheat belt of Umatilla
county to the Columbia river, and
adopting a resolution to hold this
year's wheat crop for at least one dol
lar per bushel, the County Farmers'
union held one of its most enthusiastic
meetings here last week.
There were a large number of grain
growers present and all seemed to be
of one mind on both proposition?. The
proposed road will have its Columbia
river terminus either at Cold Springs
or Umatilla, making the line from 20
to 40 miles in length and tapping the
very best portion of the wheat belt.
A committee was appointed to in
vestigate right of way and other mat
ters and report at a meeting to be held
in two weeks. At that time it is pro
posed to organize a company for the
building of the road.
In connection with requiring the
members of the organization to hold
for one dollar, it was decided that ar
rangements be made for advancing
money to those farmers who otherwise
would be compelled to sell at whatever
price they could get.
O. A. C. Building Armory.

vember 1. The armory is to be lo
cated at the rear of the present athletic
field. It will be constructed at a cost
of $35,000. Captain McAlexander will
have personal supervision of the work
during the summer, as he is very large
ly responsible for the present plans.
The bid given by Mn Ericksonjamount
ed to several thousand dollars more
than the price provided, so that a few
changes were obliged to be made in the
plans. These, however, will not great
ly alter the bjauty of the building.
School Heads to Meet June 28.
Salem The annual convention of
county school superintendents has been
called by J. H. Ackerman, superin
tendent of public instruction, to meet

Downing & Hopkins, has sold his fam
ous Snowy Butte orchard near Medford
for $150,000 to Edwin B. Lamme, of
Bozeman, Mont. There are 300 acres

taken under advisement the matter of
a uniform stock contract. Every sec
tion and clause of a proposed contract
was threshed out thoroughly before
the commission. Commissioner Jesse
S. Jones, of the Washington state com
mission, was present as also was Sec
retary O. O. Calderhead. Many rail
road officials attended the hearing and
every railroad in the state was repre
sented by counsel.
Million for Long Tunnel.

the Harriman system in this citv for
the boring of a tunnel through the
peninsula between the Willamette and
Columria rivers at a point just north
of this city. The tunnel will be 5,425
feet long and will coat about $1,000,
000. The work must be completed
within a year. It will eventually be
utilized by the Portland-Puget sound
traffic.
New Weather Observatories.
La Grande The government will
soon establish weather observatories in
all sections of the Blue mountains, ac
cording to advices received here. The
department has written to the La
Grande Commercial club for names of
people who could act as observers on
the mountains and at the head of moun
tain streams to take measurements of
the rain and Bnow fall.
Prune Croo is Pooled.
Salem A number of the leading
prune men of this vicinity met here a
few days ago and organized an inde
pendent pool. About 2.000,000 pound,

was appointed to market this year's
crop.

ing of the new Albany high school was
let to Snook & Travers. of Salem. The
contract prfce is $44,700.
STATE OF OREGON
NEW LINE FOR PORTLAND.
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul May
Build Connecting Link.
J Portland Entrance of another trans
continental raliroad system the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St Paul into Port
land is regarded more than a certainty
from the purchase by the Rockefeller
interests of the Tacoma Eastern rail
road. 'While the acquisition of this
property by . the Milwaukee road has
not been announced officially, it is be
lieved to be confirmed in the recent
election of officers of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul and the Chicago.
Milwaukee & Puget Sound railroads to
the directorate and executive personnel
of the Ladd & Tilton road. In the
election referred to, H. R. Williams,
president of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
Puget Sound, was elected president of
the Tacoma Eastern.
The present terminus of the Tacoma
Eastern is Gleiiavon, which is about 60
miles northerly from Vancouver, Wash.
By extending this line to Vancouver
the Milwaukee people, by arranging
for the operation of their trains over
the Hill bridges across the Columbia
and Willamette rivers, can secure an
entrance to this city. It is apparent
that the construction of an additional
60 miles of track will not prove an ob
stacle in the natural desire of the
Rockefeller road to enter Portland.
The length of the Tacoma Eastern is
92 miles and it extends into the Cow
litz valley.
Oregon Cherries Go East.
Salem The Salem Fruit union dur
ing the present week will ship a car
load of Royal Ann, Bing and Black
Republican cherries to Chicago and
possibly another car to Kansas City.
The cherries will go by refrigerator
freight and are expected to reach Chi
cago in eight days. The fruit union,
under the management of C. L. Dick,
has found a ready foreign market for
all the berries that could be obtained
so far this season, and Mr. Dick pre
dicts that the plan of shipping to the
Eastern markets will double the profits
of Willamette valley fruitmen.
Boys Do Not Need License.
Salem County Clerk Allen has re
ceived a letter from State Game War
den Stevenson, of Forest Grove, to the
effect that all deputies had been noti
fied not to require women and boys un
der 15 to take out fishing licenses. The
warden says the law plainly intended
to exempt the women and children, and
he believes it no more than justice to
the state and those directly- concerned
to abide by the evident intent of the
law.
Richland's Strawberry Festival.
Richland The Eagle Valley "Com
mercial club gave a strawberry festival
in Bashow'a hall here last week. Re
freshments of strawberries, ice cream
and cake were served. Prominent
members donned white caps and aprons
and acted as waiters. The proceeds
will be used in advertising the valley
and its resources.
Engineers at Grass Valley.
Moro The Harriman railway forces
have opened headquarters in the French
and Downing building for the first 40
miles of the road up the Deschutes
river. Rooms and board for 12 men
are engaged permanently for the office
force.

RAISES ITS PRICES.
Beef Trust Says Cattle Are Scarce
and Corn High.
New York, July 5. The beef trust
has again ordered the price of its pro
duct raised. Fourteen cents a pound
for pot roast to 28 cents for porter
house and sirloin steaks is the price.
Thirty cents will be demanded for the
latter cuts in a few days, while aver
age beef will cost the dealer 10 cents
a pound, as against the hitherto pre'
vailing price of 10 cents.
The hieh price of corn and the scar
city of cattle are the reasons assigned
by the trust for the increase in priceB,
As to why cattle should be any Bcarcer
now than at any other time no answer
is forthcoming.
Retail butchers explain that the
workine people are too poor to buy
beef; that there is a lessening in the
demand and consequently a raising in
the Drice. It is pointed out that rat
ten's corner in wheat has increased the
demand for corn as an article of human
consumption, and that therefore the
price of that grain has bo increased
that it is no longer profitable to raise
corn-fed cattle.
The officers of the beef trust in the
East are very reticent in discussing
the condition of the beef market
When an expression of opinion was
sought from the representatives of the
big leaders in the trust, such as Ar
mour's and Swift's, the inquirer was
referred from one official to another
Finally a vague statement was made
to the effect that the market was nor
mal and that existing prices were due
to natural trade conditions.
BODIES IN RUINS.
Work Suspended at Messina on Ac
count of Hot Weather.
? Rome, July 5. Thousands of bodies
of the victims of the December earth
quake that devastated Messina are
Btill in the rums of that city and will
not be due out to receive burial until
winter. In an effort to convince King
Victor that it is doing every possible
thine toward the ends desired in Mes
sina, the Interior department today
submitted its first comprehensive re
port. It is understood tonight that the
king, though not doubting the honesty
of the officials, was angry that there
had been bo much delay, and had de
manded speedier work.
In reply to the accusation that no
excavation had been made in the rums,
the Interior department declares it has
been found necessary to suspend all
work of this nature during the warm
weather. Up to that time 30,000 bod
ies had been recovered. An average
of 300 bodies were removed daily in
April and 900 bodies were awaiting
burial for lack of grave diggers.
GOLD ORE AS BALLAST.
Santa Fe Road Bed Rich in Precious
Metal.
Chicago, July 5. Officials of the
Santa Fe road are inclined to believe
that through the accidental discovery
of gold and copper in the ballast used
on the Belen cut-off a new rich mining
district will be developed in the Man
zano mountains in Torrance county,
New Mexico.
A fact that adds romantic interest
to the gold discovery is that the region
is adjacent to the deserted city, which
is supposed to have been Spanish and
which is known as Gran Quivera.
There are legendary stories of old Span
ish mines which are supposed to have
been productive hundreds of years ago,
but which were abandoned. Now that
gold has been discovered in the region
these stories are being revived and
many are flocking into the mountains
and are staking out claims everywhere.
The discovery of gold is largely due
to one of the engineers of the com
pany, who is located at the general
offices in Chicago. Not along ago this
engineer was walking track between
Belen and Willard and while in a deep
cut he picked up a chunk of ballast
which had a chemical stain upon it.
The stone was brought to Chicago, and
it was found to be highly infused with
gold. Some of the ballast which was
being used on the Belen cutoff was then
sent for and was found to assay about
$3 worth of gold to the ton.
Four Killed in Cyclone.
Winnipeg, Man., July 5. Reports
received tonight from Southern Sas
katchewan show that four persons were
killed and more than 50 hurt, and that
immense damage was done by the cy
clone which swept that district late
last night and early this morning. In
the Gainsboro district three persons
were killed and nearly 50 injured, while
a child was killed near Carrievale. The
cyclone struck first at Redvers, turned
south toward Carrievale and Gains
boro, and then went east to Pearson,
Manitoba.
Educator Says Nothing is Right.
Denver, July 5. Charging that the
whole present day school system is
radically wrong and that American
homes and society are directly respon
sible for elements in the schools which
corrupt morals and make for crime and
criminals, J. C. McNeill, superintend
ent of schools at Memphis, Saturday
dropped a bomb into the camp of the
National Educational association's con
vention at the council meeting prepar
atory to the opening of the convention.
Trust in No Danger.
New York, July 5. There is little
probability that there will be any prose
cution of the sugar tru until August,
when United States Distrcit Attorney
Wise, who sailed Saturday for Europe,
returns to New York. The failure of
the Federal grand jury to file indict
ments in its investigation of the Amer
ican Sugar Refining company adds to
this impression.
CUSHMAN LIES AT
POINT OF DEATH
Washlogton Congressman Is Not Ex
pected to Recover.
Enters New York Hospital for Slight
Operation and While Recoveriig:
Pneumonia Sets in With Dire Re
sultsServing His Sixth Success
ive Term in Congress.
New York, July 3. Congressman
Francis W. Cushman, who has been ill
in Roosevelt hospital for 10 days, was
in a critical condition last night, and
at midnight the authorities of the hos
pital held out little hope of his recov
ery. They in fact said he was bo low
it was doubtful if he woudl survive the
night.
Mr. Cushman entered the hospital on
June 21 to undergo an operation for
the removal of an abcess in his neck.
The operation, which was a slight,
one, was successful, but before he re
covered from it pneumonia develoved.
The disease reached the critical stage
yesterday, and, contrary to the expec
tations of all, it took a rapid turn for
the worse.
Francis W. Cushman was born May
8, 1867, at Brighton, la., and was edu
cated at the local high school and at
Pleasant View academy. In order to
aid in paying his tuition there he work
ed during the summer vacation as
" water boy" on railroad construction
work. On completing his education at
the academy the future congressman
worked for some time as section hand
on local railroads, until at the age of
16 he moved to Wyoming. There he
remained for five years, being a cow
boy on a ranch, a "handy man" in a.
lumber camp, and also a school teacher.
During this period he took up the study
of law, reading by himself, with but.
little outside aid.
At the close of this time he moved
to Nebraska, and was admitted to both,
the District and Supreme bar. He re
mained there until 1891, when he went
West again, settling in Tacoma, which
has since been his permanent home.
Prior to his election to congress be held
no offices of any kind, and made his
living entirely by his legal practice.
In 1898 Mr. Cushman was nominated
by the Republicans for congress. Since
that time he has been without opposi
tion in his own party, and has been
elected by overwhelming majorities at
each succeeding election, and is now
serving his sixth term.
Bret Harte Land Shaken.
Downieville, Cal., July 3. Almost,
every night for more than a week
earthquake shocks have been experi
enced here, and their frequency has
caused considerable uneasiness. Since
the rather severe tremblor of June 21
there have been frequent lighter
shocks, most of them sufficiently per
ceptible to awaken people. People
living at Poker fiat say Mount Filmore
is the seat of the disturbance. That
country has reported some of these
quakes as being quite severe. Earth
quakes are rare in Sierra county.
Steamer Burns At Dock.
Stockton, Cal., July 3. The steam
er Isleton, of the California Trans
portation company, valued at $100,
000, burned to the water's edge at her
dock here early today. The entire
cargo had been removed before the fire
started. There was no insurance on
the vessel. The fire started in the
after hold, where it could not be got
at, owing to its location and the dense
smoke. The city firemen saved tanka
containing 5,000 gallons of crude oil.
Clergy Is Appealed To.
Victoria, . B. C, July 3. A. Canon
Hendon, of Westminster abbey, also
rector of the British House of Com
mons church, in a public address here
today, urged the clergy to preach sacri
fices everywhere to secure immediately
a needed army and navy fund. Hen
don declares England is unarmed and
defenseless, and on the verge of a con
tent for her national existence.
Johnson Favors Women.
Jackson, Mich., July 3. Governor
Johnson, of Minnesota, delivered an
address here last night and said: "I
hope to see the time when women will
join with their husbands in political
affairs. Where woman is, the atmos
phere is better and politics would be
better where refining influence is pre
valent." Rescued After Ten Days.
St. Gall, Switzerland, July 3. A
