bo inndo At tho St. Louis exposition
next year will bo a collection of ran
rollod bonds nr-ed In payment for the
Louisiana Territory. Thcfo old papers
wore recently found in tho treasury de

compiled by R. A. Rayley, ot tho treas
ury department? who sttteajthat among
tho nattonal loans of tho United States
was ono known as "Louisiana 0 per
tent stock," Issued In 1S04. Mr. Bay
ley says:
"This loan was contracted to pay
Franco for tho province of Louisiana,

power April 30, 1303. According to
tho construction of the United States
tho cession by Fianco Included all the
region between tho 31st parallel and
the Gulf of Mexico, and between the
Mirsiseippi river ami the Pordido river

of Florida. Tbe United States had
heavy demands on Franco for spolia
tions committed on American commerce
during the previous ten years. Tho
amount of those claims wna estimated
at $5,000,000. The first proposal ot
the trench minister was that the
United States should pay for the pro
vince ot Louisiana 100,000,000 francs,
and take upon themselves tho payment
ot the claims for spoliation, but the
amount was finally fixed at 115,000,
000, ot which France was to receive
1 11.250.000 in United States bonds,pay
able in 15 years, and bearing interest
at the rate of 6 percent, lhe romainil
er. amounting to 13,750,000. was to
be devoted to reimbursing American
citizens tor French depredations on
their commerce. The treaty was con
firmed by the senate of the United
States, hut was the occasion of an ex
tended debate In the house of represen
tatives.
The act to issue the stock in payment
for the territory, which became known
as the Louisiana stock, was approved
November 10, 1303.

COLUMBIA COUNTY FILL1NQ UP.
Receit County Seat Election Shows Large
Increase of Voters.
Tho return! from tho late special
election Indicates that the voting pop
ulation of Columbia county has In
creased several hundred since the gen
eral stato election held a little over a
year ago. While It Is true that much
of this Increased vote Is due to the
employment of nn Increased number
ot hands In sawmills and logging
camps, many ot them single men. It
also Is evident that there Is a conild
erable Increase In the number of f.im
lllcs which have become actual res'
Idents.
County School Superintendent Cope-
land has received complete returns
from almost every school district In
the county, and now estimates that
theret are 250 more children of school
age than were shown by tho census of
last year. Reports from every sec
tion of the county Indicate that new
comers from the East are arriving.
and the majority of them expect to
become permanent residents.
Heavy Sales of Live Stock.
The sale of sheep, cattle and horse
from tbe Oregon ranges this fall will
be tho heaviest In years. This Is the
opinion of C. J. Millls, who has charge
of the stock department ot tbe O. It.
& N. He has been over a large por
tlon of the ranges and report that
feed will be scarce this fall. Large
shipments of cattle were made from
this district last spring and Mr. Millls
expects that still larger shipments
will be made this fall. He says
large amount ot stock will have to he
sent out ot the country in order to
even up for the shortage of the feed
crop. The shortage of fees In some
parts Is probably due to a lack of rain,
Wool Prices are Climbing.
Owing to the shortage' of wool In
Montana and Utah the' prices of wool
In Eastern Oregon will be higher than
had been anticipated. At the large
sale held at Ontario a 'abort time ago
wool sold at from 13 to 14 cents,
Many did not sell and since that time
some have sold at 15 cents. The
prices are still going up. Some ot the
leading sheep and wool men say the
range Is exceptionally short this sea'
son, as there has been scarcely any
rain since spring. Everything Is
dried up. There Is lots of stock In the
district, and It Is feared by the owners
there will be large losses this year If
wet season does not start soon.
Quarrying Rock for tbe Jetty.
Work on opening the rock quarry
at Bugby U progressing rapidly and
100 additional men have been put to
work there. Great difficulty Is be
ing encountered at. the quarry as well
as at the Jetty In securing enough la
borers, as many of them feel too rich
as soon as they have earned a few
dollars, and they loaf until they spend
It. Two rock trains aro now being
run on the railway, and each makes
two round trips to the Jetty dally, ao
a large amount of rock Is being delivered.

dition presented Itsolt yesterday,
when tho doctors wo o confronted
on the one hand wllli Ihn apparently
Imperative noconilty of an ojwratlon,
and 011 Ihn other with Ihn feeling that
such nn operation might prove fatal.
This dilemma was canvassed hy Dr.
l.apKiul and Dr. Mauii throughout
tho day. At their earlier ronferrnut
ihoro was somaprospsrls that tlm oper
ation might not cccur, and the doctors
left the sli kmoni without arriving at
any detlulto determination as to when
It would take place. They iixpresrit
the belief, however, thnt a delay until
today would eorvo a tiaeful purpore In
permitting a larger extraction ol sariim
In case the operation was undertaken.

quiring tbe private holdings will not be
great.

bo joined by the Cuban engineers,
The area of the station at Ilahla Horn!
has boon delimitated, and Includes laud
