Fayette City, Pa., Dec. 3.— Between 26 and 30 miners, poaeibly more, are entombed In the Naomi mine of the United Coal company, located three milee west of this city, and there is practically no hope that any of them are alive. The imprisonment is due to an exploaion of black damp about 8 o’clock Sunday night, soon after tbe night force went to work. It is said a miner entering an old working with an open lamp caused the exploaion. Had the disaster occurred on SDy other night than Sunday the number of victims would have been twice as large. Tbe mine employed from 275 to 300 regularly, about cne- fourth of them muking entry at night, but on Sunday nights only about one- half the night force goes to work. The mine is of thehhaft type apd tbe con-' crete sides of tbe entry were broken down so as to close the peerage back a considerable distance. About 100 feet from the entrance is located the fiist air shaft and from this deadly gas is pouring in great volume. The gas found in mines in this territory is so poieounous tin t no human being can live In it ferm ore than a few minutes, and for this reason it is believed not a single one of the entombed men ie still alive. 8IBERIAN REBELS ACTIVE.

McMinnville— That walnut groves will in time supplant tbe extensive bop yards in tbis county is apparent irom the action of the largest hopgrowers. The hop acreage will be materially re duced this fall. Among the growers who are plowing up their yards out right for the purposes of planting wal nuts are F. W . Fenton, 14 acres, and P. J.

The persimmon tree, which is probably the greatest rarity, was planted six years ago. and began bearing the third year. This year it is loaded with fruit, which w ill be a delicacy when it at tains full flavor. The tree is of the variety native to Missouri. Chance for Oregon Mills. Portland— The Panama Canal com mission has called for bids on the larg est lot of lumber known to have been embraced in a single order on this const. The commission, through the Portland chamber of commerce, asks Oregon lumber m ill men to bid on lum ber lots aggregating $6,000,000 feet, of Douglas fir or Oregon pine, to be used in canal construction. The amount asked for would be sufficient to make two ordinary shiploads. Oregon mills should, it is Baid, make a strong effort to secure this order. Klamath Falls— Nature it perform ing one of the mnet extensive portions Q, the reclanjation w0[k of the Klamath project, and also one of tbe moat expen sive parts included in the estimate, which is the drainage of Tule lake. Reports received lrom J. Frank Ad ame, of Tule lake, brings Intelligence that tbe water of the lake is rapidly falling, and a tremendous whirlpool has formed just off Scorpion point, through which the water is passing with a deafening roar that can be heard a great distance. Below is apparently a great channel underground through which the waters find outlet beneath the Modoc lavs beds and thence through the drainage of Fall river to Pitt, and -finally on to the ocean through the Sac- ramento and San Francisco bay. It has loDg been held by geologists that Tule lake has an undi m ound out let, and that Fall river, -which barsts from a gushing spring in Modoc county, Cal., is the vent. Last spring the lake water reached a higher level than has ever been known since the country was settled, and bordering farms were inun dated. For several days the water bas been receding and investigation reveal ed the new outlet. Should tbe vent en tirely drain the body of the lake, it w ill add 50,000 acres of irrigable land to the project and at a saving of hun dreds of thousands of dollars to the people of Klamath basin, as tbe in tended divereion-'of Lost river w ill be rendered unnecessary. Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 29— Judge Thomas Jones, of the United States District court, late today granted a restraining order which has tbe effect of temporarily suspending all of tbe railroad legislation j at passed by the legislature as applied to the Louisville A Nashville, the South A North Ala bama, and Nashville, Chattanooga A St. Louis and tbe Central ol Ueurgia railroads. The court suspended the laws tern- porarily for an investigation of the al legations made in the bills that they are confiscatory and unusual. In tbe case of the Central of Georgia, the order is made returnable December 16. The order in tbe caae of the other rail roads ia made returnable December 2. These orders are directed to the sheriffs, solicitors, clerks of tbe ccuntiea through which the roads pass, and all citizens, restraining them from attempting to enforce the laws until tbe court dis poses of tbe litigation. SHIPPERS M U S T MAKE G O O D Interstate Commission Wants Evidence to Support Complaints. Chicago, Nov. 29.— Interstate Com merce Commissioner E. E. Clark sharply rebuked the dilatory tactiCB of shippers making complaint against the railroad today during the hearing on freight rates to the South Mississippi river point«. “ The time w ili come when the com mission will not tolerate such indiffer ence, ” said Mr. Clark. “ We are con tinually confronted with just such situation. Hundreds of cases have been filed whiih tbe commission has only wasted its time on, as the complainants have failed to produce evidence. -Only a few weeks ago we had a case in which there was apparently a lack of any Fortunes in Walnuts. effort to prepare for it.

RULING IS BY JUDGE HANFORD Finds That Washington Board ia En croaching on Power of Inter state Commerce Law. Seattle, Nov. 30.— Federal Judge C. H . Hanford yeeterday enjoined the Washington State Railway commission, represented by Harry Fairchild, John C. Lawrence and Jeeee J. Jones, from compelling the railroads to obey the joint rate order on wheat shipped from Eastern Washington points to Puget sound points. Tbe decision ia based on Judge Han ford’ s opinion that it is the obvious in tention of the commission to divert the wheat traffic of that part of the state east and south of Spokane from Port land to Puget eonnd. The action, the court holds, ia an attempt on the part of tba commission to encroach upon the power to regulate interstate com merce vested in congress by the consti tution of the United States. The- particular portion of the com mission’ s order to which the railroads took exception wae that prescribing that the freight charges paid by the shippers in gross was to be divided between the several carriers partici pating in the service. The hands of the commission, however, are not abso lutely tied, for Jndge Hanford says no iDjnry will be inflicted by the making of the supplemental order apportioning the joint rates. , From Judge Hanford’s opinion it would appear that the commission ie entitled to prescribe a joint rate in the future provided that the objectionable features of the preeent order are obvi ated. “ The injunction to be issued,” says the court, “ w ill not restrain the rail way commission from making such an order. This court w ill not set aside a joint rate by interlocutory decree or provisional injunction, nor at all, un less upon final hearing it shall be proved to be insufficient and unreason able.” The jurisdiction of the United States District court, which was questioned by the railroads, is maintained by Judge Hanford.

FAMINE IN ASIA. Suita» o f Turkey Forbids Export of Barley— C rop« Fail. Constantinople, Nov. 27.— Famine threatens a great part of Asia Minor owing to the failure of crops and the greatest distress prevails. The «ultan has already issued orders forbidding the export of barley, of which large amounts are annually shipped abroad to foreign firms for brewing purposes. This order, it ia expected, will give rise to great complaint irom foreigners who have made contracts. The sultan has also exempted from duty ail wheat imported until kthe end of January, and lias given orders for the agricultural bank to distribute seed to the needy farmers. Winter shows signs of beginning at an unusually early time and heavy rains are hinderiug autumn sowing. Added tc these calamities ie the high price of all necessaries of life so that it may be said without exaggeration that the prospect for the coming win ter ia unprecedentedly gloomy.
