Pas- Held Oft Only By Arm While engera Are Transferred. Shanghai. China Warships nrh- ably will be sent to recover as much as possible of the wrecked steamer Asia's cargo, which was abandoned to Chinese pirates when the uassenirers and crew were taken off by the Chi nese steamer Shoaking. The value of the cargo, made un principally of silk is estimated at $500,000. After the Passeneers had esraned pirates attacked the crew and though the sailors put un a hard fiVht. run. tured one stoker and carried him away. the others of the crew, with the passengers and the mails, were brought to this port. According to passengers, the officers had to use their revolvers to keep the pirates at Lay while the nassencers were beino- transferred. Directly the Asia was abandoned the pirates looted her. it is estimated the total loss of shin and cargo amounts to $1,500,000. Klamath and Lake Count Anlma'a Have Scabits. Salem Governor West has been called upon to quarantine the cattle In Klamath and Lake count iea unless mey nave been examined or pronoun ced free from cattle acab. State Sheep Inspector Lytic declare that unlwu such quarantine measure are taken It la probable that the Federal m.v..rn. ment will quarantine the entire state. Dr. A. D. Melvin. chief of th ,.. reau of animal Industrie at Washlnir. ton, D. C.. ha received word from Dr. H. K. Finkerton. inspector in charge at IVndleton. Or., for th F-l. eraj government, that (cable exist among the cattle. Dr. rinkerton report Andimr IS S.'ln cattle diseased in Lake countv. These cattle, he reported, became infected through animals brought from Cali- forma and all tho cattle on the noon range are exposed. Mieep Inspector Lvtle mado an in. spection trip throuirh Klamnth. I nk,. and Crook counties, covering the en tire district, lie savs that while unions are not of a dangerous nature the manner in which cattle have been run in Klamath ami Lake counties for the past year, makes practicully all animals more or less exjosed to cattle mange. The winter in tho interior nf Onw gon has been unusually long and se vere," Mr. Lytle report, "and at this time most of the range animals, are so thin and weak that they could not be dipped now, owing to their inability to climb out of the dipping vat." lie say a quarantine would not damage the cattle industry to any ex tent and would be less injurious to the cattle interests than a Federal quaran tine. Governor West h not t action but will probably issue a proc lamation soon. FINE DEPOTS PLANNED. O.-W. R. & N. to Build Well on chute Line. Del- NEAR-MAGIC SAVES JEWEL. C W.

Woman' Brooch Sticks on Auto Tire and Travels 1,000 Miles. Ocean Park, Cal. Near-magic has been discovered in a diamond brooch bv Mrs. Walter Keatinc. wife nf one of the wealthy heirs of the late nitrate king. Though the brooch fell from her waist into the street, it was neither lost nor harmed. Mrs. Keat ing dropped the jewel nearly two weeks asro. while automnhilinc with her husband, and both mourned it as lost, it was set with 20 fine gems. They searched the streets for hours and gave up hope. Today a message reached them from their garage that the precious article had been found. It had fallen in such a way that the snarp end imbedded itself in one of the tires with the brooch proper on the side or the wheel, so it came in contact with nothing. It is estimated that the brooch was carried more than 1,000 miles. Skull Clew to Murder. Chico, Cal. A portion of a human skull found by a ditch tender eight miles south of St. John makes it cer tain that the man murdered near here last Wednesday was G. W Baker, for merly of Redding. ( Marion Baker identified the bit of bone and flesh as part of the remains of his brother. The section of the skull annarer.tlv had been cut from the head with an ax. It is now believed that the torso will be found in the central irrigation ditch, near which the portion of skull was found. The ditch will be drained. Portland Contracts for the erect inn or five new passenger stations on the Deschutes line of the O.-W. R. & N. Co. have been awarded to Moore Bros., of Portland, and work on their con struction will be started at once. Three of these structures one each at Hunts Ferry, Gateway and Madras will have general dimensions of 24x30 feet, and will be two stories high at one end. It is estimated that they will cost $4,500 each. The two others will be erected at Fargar and Paxton respectively and will cost about $2,000 each. They will be 24x70 feet and one story high. I he Hunts ferry, Gateway and Ma dras stations will be fitted up with fa cilities for both freight and passenger service, commodious waiting rooms for the public, offices and oeveral rooms to be used as quarters by the agents. Although these buildings will be somewhat larger than is demanded by present conditions on the new line, the company has looked intn the future and intends that they be in use for five or ten years. They will be mod ern in every detail and will equal in many ways the stations on the main line. FOREST FACTS GIVEN. State Official Distribute Literature Urging Precaution.

Banks Piling Up Money. Washington Bank renorta from all sections indicate an enormous piling up oi casn. Keserve and central re serve cities especially reoort lares. holdings. Two conclusions are drawn from this condition by treasury offi cials. One is that a slackening condi tion of business, ascribed to many anierent causes, is driving money into the banks. The other is that the banks are beginning early to prepare for late summer and autumn demands from the interior. CASH PAID FOR Farm Produce BY THE BUTLER PRODUCE CO. Co-Eds Scorn Marriage.

Pendleton Farmers of Umatilla county will soon own their fourth warehouse. Then Brain irmwon nf one more section will be able to handle their wheat through their own ware house.

Warehouses are now owned and farmers at Adams, Helix and Echo ana tfte growers believe they are thereby saving several hundred dollars annually. clear it and get it ready for the plow the coat would be from $30 to $40 an acre, and thus to make a home on the land would cost about $150 an acre. but in some crops the land will nlmost pay for itself in one vear.
