WILL ISSUE PERMITS.
Agricultural Department Ready to En
force Heyburn Bill.
Washington, July 9. The Heyburn
36-hour livestock bill became a law
June 2t, when it was signed by the
president. Since that time the depart
ment of Agriculture, which is charged
with the administration of the new
statute, has made preparation to issue
permits to all shir pars of livestock who
care to avail tnemseives oi us more
liberal terms. The permits to aake
shipments for periods longer than 23
hours can only be made by authority ot
the secretary of agriculture, and those
not obtaining such permits w.U be re
quired to conform to the old law.
The Heyburn law, oi couise, applies
only to livestock shipped in cars that
have no facilities for feeding in transit.
nd which are so crowded as to deprive
tie stock of rest while on the rail.
Stock that is shipped in the more mod
ern cars, and which is regularly fed
aid watered on the cars, is not affected
by the law.
The bill in its approved form pro
hibits any railroad from transporting
livestock from one state to another for
period longer than 28 con-eci'ive
hours without unloading the same into
properly equipped pens for rest, feeding
and water, and it is stipulated that
these stopping periods shall be at least
five hours iu duration. In case of
storms or on account of other unfavor
able circumstances, shipments may be
prolonged beyond the 28-hour period
without authority from the department.
Condition Is Improved.
Washington, June 30. Secretary
Sba tonight issued the following corn
pa'.son with this and the previous fiscal
year:
The deficit last year was $24,000,000
in round numbers. This included $6,
000,000 extraordinary expenses on the
Panama canal. The actual deficiency
on ordinary expenses was therefore, in
round numbers, $18,000,000. This
year the surplus is $25,000,000, and in
addition there has been paid on the
Panama canal $18,000,000. The actual
excees of revenues over ordinary ex
penses is, therefore, $43,000,000. The
difference between $43,000,000 excees
and $18,000,000 deficit on ordinary ex
penses is therefore $61,000,000. The
treasury on ordinary expenses is $61,
000,000 better off at the close of the
fiscal year than at the close of the fis
cal year 1905.
Overhaul the Oregon.
Washington, July 9. The battleship
Oregon is to be put out of commission
for two or tbree'yeara while undergoing
complete overhauling at the Puget
sound navy yards. The Navy depart
ment today received complete estimates
of proposed repairs, which aggrefgate
$975,000, but before this work is un
dertaken estimates will have to be re
viewed by the general naval board. Of
this total amount, $500,000 is required
for general repairs, such as laying
decks, substituting new plates for those
which Lave been worn or damaged, etc.
Needs Faster Cruisers.
London, July 9. It is stated that
the Admiralty has decided, after the
lesson at the recent maneuvers, that
there is need of more and faster cruis
ers to protect British commerce. The
cruisers are decided to have too small a
coal carrying capacity and therefore
useless when it becomes necessary to
send them on missions requiring a
large steaming radius. The proposed
new cruisers will carry only few
heavy guns.
Call for Designs for Big Ship.
Washington. July 9. Secretary Bon-
.n.rti t issued a circular inviting
ship designers and shipbuilding firms
to submit plans for the 20,000-ton bat
tleship authorized by congres. The
naval bureaus have also been instructed
to prepare like plans for comparison.
OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
RECORD HOP CROP.
Oregon Yield for 1908 Promise to
Exceed Even That of 1005.
Salem Almost incredible though it
may seem, well posted Oregon hoi
growers expert a crop of 130,000 bales
in this state this season. This is an
expectation based upon the present con
dition of the yards. Some men who
are both dealers and growers say they
will not be surprised at a crop of 140,
000 bales, and w ill be disappointed if
it goes under 130,000, with continued
favorable weather conditions. The
largest crop heretofore gathered was
that of last year, aggregating 10, 000
bales.
All the yards are now in first class
condition. Many old yards are prom
ising a yield 25 to 50 per cent greater
thau last year. In addition to this
there are many young yards which pro
duced light crops of baby hops last year
that will yield full crops for the first
time this year. The great question in
the minds ot growers is whether all the
hops ran be gathered. I-abor is scarce
and a much larger number of people
than usual will be required to pick the
crop.
Heavy showers iu this vicinltv have
injured clover hay to some extent, and
cracked Royal Anne cherries slightly.
The rain, however, will benefit grain
potatoes and other crops.
Harney Sawmills Busy.
Burns The sawmill men of this
county have all started their mill to
running on full time and the outlook is
better than for a number of years, as
there is a large large number of new
settlers locating in this county, and
then the sawmills near Harney City
ship most of their product to Malheur
county. There was not much demand
for lumer last year, and most of the
mills closed down early in the season.
Lumber has increased in value from
$10 to $12 per thousand for rough lum
ber, and dreesed lumber has increased
about the same ner cent.
Springfield May Be I erminus.
Eugene The Willamette Valley
company has applied to the city of
pringtield for a franchise for the con
struction of an electric railway on cer
tain streets entering the city from the
north. For a long time the company
has been attempting to secure a fran
chise for entrance into Eugene, intend
ing to extend the line now under con
struction between Salem and Portland
south to Eugene, but as the city coun
cil seems loath to give the franchise,
the company threatens to build around
Eugene.
Trouble in Harney County.
Salem There is Jtrouble brewing
down in Harney county over irrigation
matters. The Burns board of trade
has asked the state land board to send
the state engineer over to make an in
vestigation with a view to obliging
some of the companies holding lands
under the Carey act in the vicinity of
Harney to proceed to develop it or va
cate. State Engineer Lewis will soon
go to Harney county, the land board
having made an order to that effect at
its last meeting.
Investigate Insurance Companies.
Salem The Greater Salem Commer
cial club has adopted a resolution ask
ing the Oregon Development lesgue to
appoint a committee to aid Senator
Fulton in his effort to secure a larger
share of the reclamation funds for Ore
gon. The club also authorized the ap
pointment of a committee to confer
with Secretary of State Dunbar regard
ing an investigation of the course of in
surance companies in the payment or
nonpayment of losses in the San Fran
cisco disaster.
Seats Assigned Legislators.
Salem Members of the next Oregon
legislature have already been selecting
seats in their respective houses, and
Secretary of State Dunbar has been as
signing seats as requested. Before the
legislature convenes he .will have each
member's name on a card on the front
of his desk, in letters large enough for
the presiding officers, pages and others
to read at a distance. In each bouse
the Multnoma'i delegation will occupy
practically the same seats occupied at
the last session.
Promise Ontario New Railroad.
Ontario Grattan P. Wheeler, the
New York city banker, who Is financing
the Ontario-Emmett railroad, is in the
city, accompanied by O. C. Wright,
manager of his Eastern Oregon mining
interests. Mr. Wheeler stated that the
Ontario-Eromett railroad would abso
lutely be built, and that the money is
all subscribed for its construction, and
the same would be in running order
within 18 months, but probably at an
earlier date.
Outlook in Lane County.
Eugene Sunshine has improved all
crops in Lane county. An average
cherry yield is on the market: straw
berries are practically harvested; rasp
berries and black caps are ripening and
are prolific. Prunes, apples and pears
are in the best of condition. Hay and
grain are very heavy, while bops are
well advanced, promising a big yield.
Pasture ia good.
Oregon Appropriations Cut.
Washington The senate committee
cat down the building appropriations
in reporting on the omnibus bill so that
Baker City gets only $65,000, Eugene
$50,000, and Salem $15,000 to com
plete its grounds.
OPINION ON INSURANCE LAW.
Attorney General Says Insolvency of
Company Cancels Policies.
Salem Attorney General Crawford
has rendered an opinion in which he
hohU that where an insurance company
has become insolvent and a recevier
has been appointed In court proceedings
in another state, all policies in this
sta'e ate thereby cancelled, but a poli
cy holder, who did not know of the in
solvency, may have a claim against the
deposit fund in this state tor any loss
he many sustain within a reasonable
time after the appointment ot the re
ceiver. He also holds that the secretary ot
state ot this state, as insurance com
missioner, l as authority to investigate
the condition of such an insurance com
pany and it he finds that its capital is
Impaired below the turn of $200,000,
he may cancel its license in this state.
Ask State for Appropriation.
Ontario llemy Blackmail, recently
appointed by Governor Chamlerlain as
one ot toe commissioners of Oregon to
the Jamestown exposition, representing
Eastern Oregon, is in Ontario gathering
statistics and exhibits for the world's
fair in 1907, so as to make a report at
the next legislature with the view of
having a liberal appropriation made.
Mr. Blackman states that the commer
cial bodies of Portland are Itack of the
movement and requested the governor
to make the appointments. Oregon is
the first state on the Pacific coast to
come to the front for the purpose of ad
vertising ber resources.
Dr. Sherman Cannot Attend.
Oregon City Secretary Crosi, of the
Willamette Valley Chautauqua associa
tion, has received a telegram from Dr.
W. C. Sherman, ot Sacramento, an
nouncing his serious illness at his
home, which will prevent him from
keeping his engagement at this year's
assembly. Dr. Sherman has for a
number of years been instructor ef the
Bible class and his services have been
invaluable to the cbautauqua meetings.
Secretary Cross is planning to substi
tute a round table for this interesting
feature of the cbautauqua program.
La Grande Gets Big Mill.
La Grande Representatives of the
Palmer Lumber company have made
public that they Have decided to build
their big mill at La Grande. Work
will begin as soon as a right of wav for
a railroad spur through Marion street
and the Riverside addition ia secured.
The 73 acres of ground donated by citi
zens for a mill site and lumber yards
will be turned over at once, the trans
fer to be made through the Commercial
club.
Wheat Crop Looks Good.
Pendleton Umatilla county
will
this
have one of its best wheat crops
year in spite of threatening early
tents. The moist weather of the
four weeks has lifted the crops out ot
the ground until they will be as good
in straw as usual, whereas it whs pre
dieted that in some places a harvester
could hardly get below theh'ads. Now
the warm weather has begun to harden
the young grain ami cause tne maturing
heads to fill out and increase in weight
County Fair at Tillamook.
Tillamook At a meeting of the Till
amook Development league the matter
of a county fair was taken up. The
date for the fair will probably be Aug
ust 23,24 and 25, and it will probably
include a stock show and street carni
val. J. C. Cooper, of McMinnville,
has been engaged to manage it.

RIOTS AT VLADIVOSTOK.
Battery of Artillery Captured and Cos
sacks Driven Olf.
Toklo, July . Additional details
received here of rioting in Vladivostok
indicate that so far the loyal troops
have Uen unable to gain control ot tl e
situation. Fighting Is going on on all
sides, both In the city ami the ou.
skirts. Especially severe lighting has
taken place in the neighborhood id the
outlying hailsir defenses, a here the
rioters succeeded in capturing a batteiy
of artillery. The gunners made but
a scant show of resistance, it being
plain that they were in sympathy with
the rioters.
A detachment of Cos tacks attempted
to recapture the battery, but the rebels
llred heavy voy ol grapeshot and
shrapnel Into the attacking column and
forced it to retieal, with heavy loss.
At last accounts, the rebels wete still
in command.
Wild mobs have burned the govern
ment stores in the heart of the city,
and have secured possession ot supplies
valued at a large sum. One mob
stormed the city prison in an attempt
to rescue a number of persons who had
been arrested, after looting the mili
tary supply station of a qtianity ot dy
namite. Severe lighting, which lasted
several hours, followed, but the prison
guard was finally successful in driving
away the attacking forces.
Information has U-en received here
that all the Russian troops on the
Manchurian border are in a state ot
mutiny, and it is all their officers can
do to keep them in reasonable subjec
tion. Revolutionary propaganda is
making headway among the Russian
soldiers in Siberia, and it would not be
surprising if news of a general revolt
there were soon to be received.
BAY CITY SALOONS OPEN.
Police Will Strictly Enforce the Law
Against Drunkenness.
San Francisco, July 0. For the first
time since April 1H the saloons were
permitted to reopen yesterday.
Licenses had been grunted to about
;00 drinking places and all did a lush
ing business. To a large number ol
persons the resumption of business at
the saloons appeared to be quite a nov
elty, and many were on hand when the
barroom doors swung open. Nearly all
the resorts were crowded, but up to
noon no serious trouble had been re
ported .
Extra policemen were detailed f ir
duty in all the blocks containing sa
loons. It ia planned to place all men
arrested tor intoxication at work clean
ing away debris from sidewalks.
"All persons who show the effects ot
intoxication are to be quickly gathered
in." said Chief of Police Dioan today.
"Patrolmen have been instructed to
rraintain order. Up to noon today but
few arrests have been reiorted from
the sub stations, and but one or two
have len booked for drunkenness at
the main station. I do not expect that
we shall have much trouble in band
ling the situation."

cans who have been stricken live in
the native sections of Manila.
The bureau of health has refused to

have been liable to infection. The
efforts of the doctors engaged in com
batting the disease show results in the
decrease in the number of new cases re
ported. While the disease started in
stronger than the great epidemic ot
1U02, the authorities believe they have
the situation now under control.
For the week ending July 4 there
were 116 cases and 99 deaths. For the
24 hours ending at 8 o'clock on the
morning of July 5 there were 12 cases

MANEUVERS WITHOUT SIGNALS.
Plan To Be Tried With Largest Amer
ican Fleet Ever Assembled.
Washington, July 7. Plans for ex
tensive maneuvers of the Nortth At
lantic fleet are lieing matured by tho
general navy board, in conjunction
with Bear Admiral F.vaus, command
ing the fleet. Admiral Dewey, presi
dent (jf the hoard, has sent Admiral
I'.vans a copy of the pmgrurn of thn
maneuvers of the French fleet iu the
Mediterranean. These maneuvers are
tiinliT command of Admiral Fournier,
who not long ago visited the I'nitt d
States and was a guest ot soma ol our
naval oflieers. Before autumn, Ad
miral Kvans will have a fleet ollt
battleships, which will be the largest
fleet of effective vessels ever assembled
at one time by the United States.
A new feature is to be introduced irn
the maneuvers this summer, and the
ships are to practice evolutions without
signals in order to meet emergencies in
battle, when owing to smoke or when
signal apparatus has been shot away,
signals cannot longer l given. While
it is regarded as somewhat hazardous
to maneuver big battleships without
signals, it is thought necessary to have
the officers familiar with this duty in
case they are engaged in actual warfare
at some time in the future and a situa
tion should arise necessitating the.
abandonment of signals.
To Make Bigade Posts.
Washington, July 7. Secretary Taft
has determined to make a trip of in
spection westward next October to Fort
Kiley and Fort Iavenworth, as well
