YERKES IS DEAD.
Complication of Diseases Carries Off
Builder of Street Railways.
New York, lVc. 80. Charles T.
Yerkes, the noted railway financier of
Chicago and I-ondon, died last night in
his apartments at the Waldorf-Astoria
hotel, where he had been ill for more
than six weeks. Mr. Yerkes suffered
from a complication of diseases, grow
ing out of a severe cold which he con
tracted in Ixnulon early in the fall.
His condition had been critical for ten
days past, and the attending physicians
gave np all hope several days ago, al
though members of the family clung
tenaciously to the belief that the re
markable vitality of Mr. Yerkes would
eventually pull him through. Since
early yesterday morning the patient
had been kept alive by strong stimu
lants. Charles Tysou Yerkes was born at
Philadelphia, Fa.. June 25. 1S37. The
Yerkes family is of Dutch origin, the
first settlers of the name coming to
America a few years before the arrival
of the Quaker colony under William
Penn. C. T. Yerkes was educated at
the Friends' school and Central High
school, of his native city, and began
his business life as a clerk in the Hour
and grain commission and forwarding
house of James T. Perot & Bros., being
presented with a salary of $50 at the
end of his first year.
His latest exploit was to revolution
ize the rapid tiansit system oJ London.
He built a system of underground elec
tric lines, which shines by contrast
with the old Metropolitan (under
ground) railway in every particular,
having pure air, clean stations, clean
and comfortable cars. He then secured
control of the Metropolitan, after a con
test before a commission of parliament,
against J. F. Morgan, and has been en
gaged for several years in transforming
it into an electric system.

Reduction in Schedule of Transconti
nental Mails.
Washington, Jan. 1. The postmaster

way mail schedules that have occurred

west of the Mississippi river. It be
comes effective December 31.
A change of the schedule on the
I'ninn Pnrifii railway betw-een Omaha
and Ogden, Utah, and on the Southern
Pacific between Ogden and ban rran
riseo. with ph ..nlemental changes on
the Chicago, Burlington A Quincy and
Chicago northwestern rawroaus De-tw-ppn
Chicago and Omaha, reduces the
time of mail in transit between New
York and San Francisco west bound,
and between the same points east
bound, practically 24 hours. A busi
ness day is saved each waft

catello, Idaho, and Huntington, Or., to
Washington and Idaho 12 hours.
REBELS WRECKING BRIDGES.
Still Active in Moscow, Though Their
Leaders are Captured.
Mrwenw. Jan. 1. The rebels are etill
active here, despite all reports to the
contrary, as developments of the past
few hours have plainly shown. In
order to cut off ingress to the city by
mil from Tver, the insurgents today
placed bombs under the bridge between
that place and Moscow, meraiiy wrecx-
ing the bridge. '
A mnh of armed men made an attack
on the police barracks and was defeated
with great loss of life. The police lo
cated the meeting place of the Social
Revolutionary committee and arrested
all the members. A quantity of bombs
waa a Inn Re ized. Enraced at the arrest
pf the committee, a mob destroyed 200
wagons loaded with provisions for sol
diers. Following this the prefect of
police ordered the soldiers to shoot any
one found interfering with either pro-
ill
Vision wagons, telegrarn or teiepnone
poles.
The streets of the city preem a
ghastly appearance. The bodies of un
identified dead are found lying every
where. It is said that when the pojice
arrested the revolutionary committee
the workmen were discussing a termin
ation of the strike.
Abolish Private Car Lines.
T)h Moines. Jan. 1. The Western
frnitif.l.Kpra oBoncifttion todav adopted
strong resolutions demanding the enact
ment of legislation abolishing private
car lines and pointing out the insuffi
ciency of pending legislation before
congress in this respect. The associa
tion also gave endorsement to governor
Cummins, who aroused the wildest en
thusiasm at the banquet by his arraign
ment of private car companies and of
congress for what he declared to be its
slothlulness in heeding the petitions of
shippers for relief.
Socialists Urge Poles to Strike.
Warsaw, Russian Poland, Jan. 1.

streets here, trying to enfore the orders
for a general strike. They compelieu
the newspapers and insurance cilices to

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
. . . . t
BUY FORESTRY BUILDING.
State Board of Agriculture Proposes
Moving It to Salem.
Salem At the meeting ot the state
hoatd of agriculture last week John II.
Albert, of the Lewis and Clark fair
commission, submitted a communi
cation suggesting that the board take
steps to secure the forestry building
erected at the Iewls and Clark fair
and move it to Salem.
Mr. Albert said that neither the city
of Portland nor the Oregon Historical
society has taken action toward preserv
ing the building, and he thought it
would be a good plan to move the
structure to Salem and erect it in the
state fair grounds near the Southern
Faiiflc track, where all persons passing
on the trains could see it. He thought
the huge structure of logs would not
only be an attraction at the state fair,
but when so situated would be a per
petual advertisement for Oregon's tim
ber resources.
The Board of Agriculture appointed
a committee corupsed of W. II. Pown
ing, J. D. Matlock and Frank Leo to
ascertain the cost of transporting the
building to Salem, and also whether
the owner of the land upon which the
building now stands will permit it to
remain there until the leigslature meets
In 1907.
WOOLEN MILL FOR ALBANY.
Subsid- of $15,000 Will Insure Re
building on Larger Scale.
Albany The Commercial club ap
pointed a committee of leading business
men to secure $15,000 in subscrip
tions toward reorganizing the Ban
nockburn Manufacturing company, to
rebuild the woolen mill recently
burned, replacing it with a mill double
the capacity. The company is to have
$100,000 capital and a practical woolen
manufacturer is to run the mill. The
new factory will give employment to
100 people.
The proposal is to bring machinery
for a six-set mill from Massachusetts,
the owner to take stock in the mill for
the machinery and run the plant. The
old building is to be rebuilt with money
subscribed for stock in Albany, the old
company to put in its propecrty at half
cost and raising $40,000 additional
stock. This will give the company a
complete plant with a working capital
of $40,000. Business men here are
taking hold with a will and the plans
promise success. Over $2,000 was
subscibed by three men on the spot.
The Commercial club re-elected the
entire board of directors and officers,
President M. II. El' is and associates
holding another year.
Statistics of Feeble-Minded.
Salem An effort has been ina.de bv
inv coinmuruiun autnoriZjd by the last
legislature to inquire into necessity or
the advisabilitj of establishing a school
in this state for the feeble minded, to
find out how many unfortunites of this
character are to be found in the state.
A report received at the office of the
secretary of the l;ate Library commis
sion, compiled from a census taken in
several Eastern states, shows the aver
age number of feeble minded persons is
2 to 1,000. On this basis there would
be about 1,000 feeble minded persons
in Oregon.
Candidates Must File Notice.
Salem Secretary of State Dunbar
calls attention to the fact that it is ne
cessary for candidates for state or dis
trict offices to first file a notice of in
tention to become a candidate with the
secretary of state, before or at the time
of beginning the circulation of petitions
for the primary elections.- A candidate
is permitted to write a platform, not
exceeding 100 words, to he filed with
this declaration, and to have printed
on the official ballot a condensed plat
form, not exceeding 12 words.
Census Returns Slow.
Salem Only 17 of the 33 counties of
the state have filed their census returns
with the secretary of state. Scarcely
any of the reports are complete. Du
plications have been discovered in sev
eral instances, while glaring inaccura
cies are alleged in others. Klamath
county only reports eight Indians,
whereas the great Klamath Indian res
ervation is in this county, and should
have been reported, according to state
officials. Names, residences and places
of birth are improperly recorded on
many returns.
Will Extend Railroad.
Klamath Falls J. W. Alexander,
connected with the Weyerhauser lum
ber syndicate, which recently pur
chased the Klamath Lake railroad,
running from Thrall to I'okegama, in
connection with the large timber hold
ings of the railroad company situated
on the Jeny creek plateau, denies the
statement that the new owners of the
road intended discontinuing the pas
senger service toward Klamath Falls
the first of the year.
Lincoln County Shows Decrease.
Salem Lincoln county's assessment
summary for 1005 has been received at
the office of the secretary of state. It
shows a decrease of 10 per cent in the
valuation of taxable property, the total

stalled a chop mill near here, a large
race affording power. The flouring
mill in Enterprise is frequently com
pel led to close down, but the chop mill
can be ran at any time-
MAKING READY IN KLAMATH.
Government Engineer Llppincott Now
On the Ground.
Klamath Falls Super vising Kngtn
eer J. B. Llppincott, for the Reclama
tion service in California, and having
charge of the Klamath project, arrived
here Sunday. Mr. Llppincott came to
Klamath Falls to clear up hll prelim
inaries and arrange for paying all obli
gations against the government in con
nection with the Klamath irrigation
project.
Several private companies were
bought out by the government officials,
or arrangements were completed for the
purchase of all conflicting irrigation
ditches put here previously by private
concerns, and though the payments had
been authorized by government, none
of these private companies received
their money. This had caused con
siderable speculation, and the coming
of Mr. Llppincott, with the announce
ment that his mission here was to
clean up a these claims, so that the
contractors awarded the contracts for
work on the irrigation canals could
proceed at once after the bids were let,
places all who heretofore had wondered
if the government would proceed with
actual ditch work in much clearer po
sition regarding the future of the pro
ject. Mitchell Estate Small.
Portland Pavid M. Dunne has been
appointed administrator of the estate
of Senator John H. Mitchell upon the
petition of John II. Mitchell, Jr., in
the County court. The petitioner stat
ed that the estate is valued at $2,000,
and the heirs are Mattie E. Mitchell,
wife of deceased, and Mattie K. de
Rochefoucauld, a daughter, residing in
Paris; John II. Mitchell, Jr., and Hi
ram E. Mitchell, sons, and Alice and
Mildred Chapman and Mitchell and
Robert Handy, grandchildren.
Want Trees Destroyed.
Oregon City Fruit Inspector James
H. Reid will appeal to the courts of
Clackamas county to compel E. J. Ril
ev, an attorney of Portland, to submit
to the destruction of his fruit trees.
Inspector Reid says Mr. Rileys' orch
ard, wSich is located in M in thorn ad
dition, near Milwaukie, is .infected
with the San Jose scale, and that the
only way in which the pent can be
eradicated is to destroy the trees. Mr.
Reiu says he is determined to make a
test case.
Say Agents are Frauds.
Salem Agents are traveling over
this state soliciting orders for la inks for
traveling libraries. In some instances
they represent themselves as being au
thorized by the State Library commis
sion to "solicit orders for lxoks. Tho
imiiuiimtni iron no Traveling laink
agents, nor has it authorized any one
to solicit orders for traveling libraries,
or books to e included in traveling li
braries. Wherever such cases have
been reported to the Library commis
sion steps have been taken to advise
people not to patronize these agents.
Newcomers From Minnesota.
Albany The vanguard of immigrants
from Ea-tern and Middle Western
states to Linn county has arrived. If
the popluation increases at a compara
tively rapid rate during the more fav
orable season in the spring, the county
will experience a rapid and substantial
growth before another fall season has
rolled around. This latest addition is
in the form of three families from
Shelburn, Minnesota, aggregating

Rockefeller, son of William Rockefeller,

Christmas evening with a subpoena to
appear at a hearing In the case of the
state of Missouri against the Standard
Oil company at the offices of Henry
Wollman, here January 6. Christinas
day Is a legal service day, though most
holidays are not a proper service- time
(or subpoenas. The m-r vice was made
as Mr. Rockefeller was stepping Into
his automobile in front of his residence.
Edward T. Bedford, also one of the
directors of the Standard Oil company,
was served with a subpoena In the
same proceedings.
Henry Wollman, New York counsel
for the state of Missouri in the proceed
ings, said yesterday that he thought
some of the Standard Oil men were at
tempting to evade serv'ce.
"They are making it very difficult
for us," he said, "but we are succeed
ing steadily. We have already served
seven. The hearing will begin Janu
ary 5 and Attorney General llsdleyand
I will take the testimony of all the wit
nesses we get by that time, and then
we will adjourn from time to time to
get all of them. It is probable that we

some of the neighlxirlng state, where
some of them are now residing temior-arily."
BOYCOTT IN ALL PROVINCES.
Will Be Continued Until Exclusion
Law Is Relaxed.
New York, Pec. 29. Pr. F. F. Tong,
the representative of the Chinese gov
ernment who is here to create a public
sentiment against the exclusion law,
as administered, declared yesterday
that there would be no abatement of
the boycott in China against American
goods antil the desired change was
made.
He said that his most ncent advices
indicate that the movement of retalia
tion had spread to every province of
the empire. Everywhere merchants
and their customers are working to
gether to shut out goods made in the
United States. At Tien Tsin, Pr. Tong
asserted, mills for the production of
cotton and woolen good have been
started, and a Hour mill is in operation.
Women are heart and soul w ith the
men in the tight aaginst American
goods. In purchasing powder for their
faces the first question they ask is:
"Was it made in America?" If the
answer is affirmative, they refuse to
buy.
"What we are seeking to accom
plish," said Pr. Tong, "is an adjust
ment of the law and its administration
that will put a stop to the injustice to
which Chinese in this country are con
stantly subW' "

tate, who seeks to recover $250,000 for
the heirs. The petition states that

REPORT ON CANAL
Isthmus Has Been Made Healthy
as first Essential.
PAYROLL OF 5600,000 A MONTH
Working Year Will of Only tight
Months, Owing lo Difficulties
of Halny Season.
Washington, iH-c. 30. Condition
on the Isthmus of Panama ami the
progress which is being made on the
gigantic enterprise before the Canal
commission were set forth in the an
nual report o( that Ixidy fr the year
ending Pecember 1, submitted to Presi
dent Roosevelt today. According to
the reMrt, the work up to this tluio
has been confined mostly to the prepar
atory operations, although some exca
vation work has been In progress which
will be mostly of use in making esti
mates upon the cost of future excava
tion. Sanitary conditions has also re
ceived much attention, and as a result
the health ot the isthmus is now in
good shape.
While this preparatory woik ban
lecn in progress, very little has been
done in the way of actual excavation.
Eleven steam shovels have Iweu in
operation' in Culebra cut aud approxi
mately 1.0(10,000 cubic yards of mate
rial have been removed. By this work
the levels of the cut are being put In
condition (or the installation of iho
largest number of uiachinvs which can
he effectively operated, and data is
being gathered which will be uso'ul for
estimates of the cost of future construc
tion. The chief engine r, John F. Stevens,
reports that the winking year will Ih
of only eight months, due to the rainy
seaion. The problem of the Culebra
cut is simply a matter of di.oing of
the material excavated. Il also states
the neccSMity of obtaining in. -re effi
cient labor, anil asserts that there are
exceptional opMitonitie fur young
men from the United States to secure,
good positions.
A thorough business administration
of affairs on the istiimns, bo says, is
essential. The old railroad used by
the Freuch company, was in had con
dition, especially the rolling Mock.
The payroll on the isthmus at pres
ent amounts to approximately $iiiiO,
000 a month. An immediate appropri
ation is therefore nccrssary.
GOOD HAVEN FOrt BIG THIEVES.
Cannot Be Extradited From Franco
and Germany.
uai.;htii, 'jo D In proba
ble that steps will soon be taken by
the State department to secure, a revis
ion of the existing extradition treaties
with France and (iciutRiiy. Recent
events have drawn retention to some
very serious defects in the old conven
tions, and it Is feared that before long
France and Germany will become ha
vens of refuge for a certain class ot
American criminals.
Within the past fortnight, the chief
of police of HolMikcu cabled a request
to the Paris municipal authorities to
arrest and return to the United Staten
a man named Sasnla on the charge of
grand larceny. The French authoiitiea
were surprised at this request, coining
not through the American embassy,
ami, finding that no regular application
had been made (or extradition, placed
him at liberty. In the course ot the
proceedings it was discovered that
there was absolutely no provision in
the extradition treaty for the surrender
of a person charged with grand larceny.
The treaty with Prushia ami th Ger
man states, made in 1852, likewiso
fails to include garnd larceny as an ex
traditable crime.

Chicago, Pec 30. A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington SHys: The
administration will send a squadron,
and not a single ship, to European
waters for use in the Russian crisis, in
