About Three Thousand Arrive in Spo

President Being Urged by Conserva
tive Financial Leadsrs
Spokane, Wash., Nov. 6.— Nearly
3,000 homeseekqra, bound for every
part of the Pacific Northwest, arrived
in Spokane Sunday by the various
roads. They are traveling on tickets
sold in the Eatt under the colonist
rates, which expired October 31, and
the army is made up of those who
waited until the last day of grace to be
gin their journey.
Train No. 3 on the Northern Pacific
consisted of 25 coaches filled to the
steps. It traveled in two sections.
Twelve hundred souls, railroad officials
estimated, were Inside the coaches.
When the colonists alighted at Spo

Washington, Nov. 4.— It is learned
here from undoubted sources that Pres
ident Roosevelt is now being urged to
call an extra session of congress to deal
with the financial situation.
The re
quest comes from and represents the
judgment of the conservative leaders in
the financial world, who have repre
sented the present situation as one com
pelling action of a character that will
eradicate all ground for suspicion of
American industrial methods.
The president has been assured from
mi a t reliable sources that there w ill be
no opposition on the part of the great
industries of the country to the enact
ment of the necessary laws to carry out
his ideas of Federal control to the ex
tent to which he lias expounded them
in his recent public utterances. These
assurances are made at this time to
what has been represented as the most
dangerous situation which has con
fronted the country during an extended
historic period— that is, the seeming
growing lack of confidence based on
known irregularities in business meth
ods in some quarters and no sure and
speedy means of separating the good
from the unsound.
To this end it is suggested that the
president set congress to the task, first,
of making such amendments to the fi
nancial laws as will result in the max
imum of flexibility with the minimum
of basic change in our system; next,
and perhaps most in importance, that

Pendleton — That sheep on many

amount in Umatilla county. A. Smythe
A Son, of Arlington, report tbe loss of
200 head, and W illiam Smith, of Mor
row county, has lost about an equal
numlier. Opinions among sheepmen
differ as to the cause. Some think the
sheep are getting a poisonous weed, but
the prevalent opinion is that owing to
the unusually dry fall, the grass is in
sufficient and the quality poor.

November 2, 1907
Whereas, It has been and is impos

shipments of coin or currency from
Eastern financial centers, although
large balances are due to the banks of
this state from Eastern banks; and
Whereas, Requests have come to me
from the leading banks of the whole
state, as well as from different com mer

clamation of a legal holiday from day

handle the largely increased industrial

Whereas, i am firmly convinced from
information I have received that our
banks were never in better condition
than at this time, and are only in need
of moneys which are actually due them
from correspondent banks to tide over
the present crisis:
Now, therefore, I, George E. Cham

in me, do declare Monday, the 4th day
of November, 1907, n legal holiday for
the purpose of assisting in tiding over
the present financial stringency and
protecting the credit oi tbe state until
coin or currency, now due and owing
our people, can be obtained; and I do
declare it my purpose to continue to
declare such holidays from day to day
until business conditions appear to me
to be normal.

AN INCOMING STREAM OF GOLD

bands Its Own Supp y.
New York, Nov. 2.— The financial
situation is gradually clearing without
showing any striking features. Runs
on tbe banks and trust companies are
practically over; money, which was
temporarily withdrawn from banks sub
ject to runs, is flowing to the stronger
banks, and currency is being provided
in most cases where the demand for it
is considered legitimate.
Further engagements of gold by Bos
ton and other point« have brought up
the total engagements abroad under the
recent movement to $26,550,000. The
Lueitana, which sailed from Liverpool
yesterday, has on board about $10,000,-
000 in gold, one of the largest single
shipments ever made.
Prieee of ex
change were firm during the early part
of yesterday and did not yield seriously
at any time. The fact that the stock
exchanges of London and Paris were
closed on account of A ll Saints day pre
vented any comparison of quotations on
arbitrage operations.
Balances with the clearing house
have settled down to a normal condi
tion, but there is still something of a
blockade in domestic exchange through
the unwillingness of New York banks
to pay currency on draft« from other
cities and the unwillingness of other
cities to pay out their currency upon
drafts from New York. The condition
of affairs indicates a continued pressure
for currency rather than a breakdown
of credits, but reasonable demands are
being met for regular customers of the
banks.
The possibility of hastening the ex
port movement of wheat and cotton
still engages the attention of foreign
exchange dealers and also of those who
endeavor to keep in touch with the gen
eral situation.

Supreme Court Decision Turns Loose
100 Chicago Criminals.
Chicago, 111., Nov. 2.— The doore of
the Joliet penitentiary swing open to
day and the first batch of nearly 100
murderers, highwaymen, burglars and
other criminals w ill be turned loose
as a result of a recent decision of the
Supreme court, which held that the
municipal courts of Chicago could not
legally try cases in which the indict
ments were returned by a Cook county
grand jury.
The situation :s one of the most seri
ous that ever confronted Chicago. If
the decision of the highest couit is to
stand, it meana that on the eve of win
ter footpads, murderers, and criminals
of all classae are to be turned loose on
the streets of the city.
State’s Attorney John J. Healy, how
ever, lias decided to take drastic steps
to prevent the wholesale liberation of
criminals. He construes the decision
to mean that the Supreme court never
intended that
convicted
criminals
should be given liberty, but that each
and every man must stand trial again—
this time in the Criminal court.
ROADS HIT BACK
Refuse Lumber Snipments Until Fur*
»her Notice.
Bellingham,
Wash , Nov. 1.— No
more lumber shipments will lie received
by the Northern Pacific railroad in the
Northwest until furthei notice. This
is the order cent out to all agents of the
company last night.
This mute ol the N c th e m Pacific is
expected to be followed by all the rail
roads affect* d by the injumti in issued
by the Federal court iu Seal tie Thurs
day night, making it compulsory on
the part of the railroads to charge the
old rate of 40 cents on lumber from
terminal points on the Pacific Coast.
The railroad*had issued a new sched
ule of rates that were to be effective
today. This new schedule was fought
by the lumbermen and resulted in the
issuance of the temporaiy injunction.
The railroads have evidently found
another method of combatting the lum
bermen. The latest move iB tlie refusal
to accept any shipments of lumber at
any rate. The roads figure they would
be taking too great a risk to allow the
excesB freight to accumulate until a
final decision on the rate ¡ b made, as
they say that litigation will ensue be
fore the matter is Bettied, and many
of the lumber films may have gone out
oi business.
C O U R T SIG N S
ORDER.
Grants Injunction Asked by the Oregon
Lumbermen.
Portland, Nov. 1.— Following the de
cision tendeied by the United States
Circuit Court at Seattle Wednesday,
Judge Wolveiton, of the Fedeial court,
granted an injunction yesterday re
straining the railroads from putting in
the advanced lumber rates to the East
until the merits of the case can be set
before the Interstate Commerce com
mission and a hearing be held. The
restraining order was asked by the Ore
gon A Washington Lumber Manufac
turers’ association, and upon his return
from Seattle yesterday morning Judge
Wolverton announced that the prayer
of the lumbermen would be granted.
Judge Wolverton ordered the associa
tion to put up a bond for $250,000 that
w ill be called for in the event the rail
roads finally win. This money will be
used to pay the difference between the
present rates and the proposed tariffs,
should the railroads finally win.
Lumber companies in the state not
members of the association are advised
to file suits in intervention as soon as
possible, in order that the railroads
w ill not be enabled to enforce the pro
posed freight rates on firms not parties
to the suit brought by the association.
The advanced rates, as announced by
the railroads on all lumber shipments
to the Missouri and Mississippi rivers,
were to have gone into effect today,
but the injunction w ill postpone them
indefinitely. The increase was pub
lished some time ago and tariffs issued
by the railroads. Appeals were made
direct to the Interstate Commerce com
mission to postpone the enforcement
of the rate, but as no complaint was
before the commission, it could not act
upon the appeal.
M O NE Y IS EASIER.
Acute Stage o f Financial Crisis Over
in East,
New York, Nov. 1.— Indications that
the available supply of cash would be
materially increased wthin a short time
with imports of gold and the increase
of the tank note circulation, and that
the movement of cotton and grain crops
would be facilitated in every way pos
sible. with the result of increasing our
credits abroad, were the salient feat
ures of today’s financial situation. I t
seemed to be recognized everywhere
that the acute stage ol the crisis was
over and that all that remained was to
obtain sufficient currency to resume
currency payments upon a broad scale
and thus to restore conditions prevail
ing before the crisis.
The engagements of gold made in
New York, Chicago and elsewhere
brought up the total import movement
within the past week to $23,750.000.
As the amount of gold w ill afford a
basis of credit to four times the
amount, or about $95,000,000, it will
in itself afford much relief to the ex
isting pressure.
