Washington, Deo. 30.— -Senator New- land*, of Nevada, Ig endeavoring to pre vent withdrawal of the government troops from Goldfield until some other means of protection is had. Today he railed upon Becretary Taft at the War department and strongly urged that ex ecution of the order issued hy the secre tary for the withdrawal o( the troop« be suspended until be has had an opportu nity to communicata with Governor Sparks and induce him to call the Ne vada legislature together. Mr Taft haa been advising with Sec retary Root on this subject and tonight oommunicated with the president at Pine Knot on the snbject. There was every disposition to refrain from break ing in upon Mr. Roosevelt’* privacy at this time, and the only excuse for do ing so is found in tire tact that, nnless the original order is modified, the troop* must leave Goldfield before the president returns to Washington. The secretary declined to etate what coarse he had recommended in the matter, nor would he say whether he had heard from the president in turn. Secretarfy Leob said the W hite House was entirely without advice from Pine Knot, as the Goldfield question was being handled by the War deportment. Administration officials feel that the present situation in the matter of Gold- field’s case cannot be continued, in view of the donbt that exists as to the con stitutional and legal right of the ex ecutive to employ any part of the regu lar army in Nevada under present con dition*. H ud Francisco, Cal., Dec. 31.— Inter state Commerce Commissioner Frank lin K. I-Hue, today held a hearing of the complaint of the California Com mercial association, compote l of 29 mercantile firms in this city, charging the Wells-Fargo Express company w th concealing from the public tariff er-hod- ulee that had been filed with the Inter state Commerce commiaaion in Wash ington and with making unjust and dit criminatory rates. The actual question involved, however, was whetbei or not the quantity rate cf 8 cents a pound from New York to Han Franciaco for ebipments of 10,000 to 20,000 nounda applied to bulk or aarembled ship ments, gathered and forwarded by a forwarding agency to one concern or association organized for the purpose ol getting the lower rate, the shipment ultimately intended lor numerous con signees who were designated by, num bers of the labels to the one consignee. The charges of discrimination are based upon the refusal of the express company to transport a shipment of 16,000 pounds consisting of 443 pack ages, from New York to the California Commercial asiociation in Ban Fran cisco last August, at the bulk or quan tity rate of $8 per hundred pounds, the oompany charging the regular package rate. It is also alleged that the ex press company charged a higher rate Ilian that published and 8ied with the Interstate Commerce commiaaion, the latter being wilfully concealed and hid den Irom the public. This complaint avers that it is a distinct violation of the interstate commerce act. In answer, the express company denies all the allegations made, and charges that the association lesorted to subterfuge in order to extort unjust dis crimination in its own favor, and based its refusal to grant a quantity rate upon the ghiment in question on the ground that, while consigned to one consignee, it was intended for more than a score of 6rms.

Klamath F alli— Frank Ira W hite of the Enterprise Laud A investment com pany has just received reporrs from the departme.it of agriculture relative to samples of BUgar beets raised on the Enterprise tract. The beets were taken from the same tract as were those sent to Professor Knisely some time ago, but were fully matured, while the others were not Professor Kni ely ’a test showed from 17.40 to 19.36 per centtpure sugar, while the department test is one or two per cent higher, with a very high degree of purity.

Pendleton— Umatilla county’s rapid development is' shown In the recent nummary of the taxable property in the county, recently farnlahed the secre tary of etate by Assessor Strain. This summary, compared with the one made five years ago, shows the number ol tillable acres as increased by 90,000. The total number of acres of arable land in the county at present is 46,000. The number of acres classified as non- tillable is given at 688,144. The figures for the latter do not, of course, Include the forest reserves and other government land not subject to taxation. The amount of non-tillahle land in the county is constantly in creasing, also, by reason of the fact that so much | ov rnment land is being taken up and deeded to settlers. The increase in the number of till able seres is due in large measure to the different irrigation projects which are being completed. This is not the only source of increase, however, as thousands of acres of land in the west ern and southwestern parts of the county are now plowed up and growing wheat that a few years ago were consid ered worthless for anything more val uable than range for stock. Much of it was given oyer entirely to sagebrush and jackrabbits. The Pilot Rook and Birch creek countries have experienced the greatest development In this line. Big s o f Oil at Bonanza.

Says All Irrpl cited in Land Frauds Are Senator’s Friends. Washington, Dec. 30.— In an inter view telegraphed from New York, Fran cis J. Heney ia quoted as saying: “ I hope to close theee Oregon case* with Mr. Bristol m two or three weeks.” Inquiry at the Department of Justice failed to elicit definite information aa to whether or not Mr. Bristol would as sist Mr. Heney with the prosecution. II no new district attorney is appointed ky the time the land trials begin, Mr. Bristol may assist Mr. Heney, but there appears to be an expectation that a new man w ill be available before then, in which oase Mr. Bristol w ill be out and ha>e nothing to do with the land trials. In the same interview Mr. Heney takes another rap at Benator Fulton. He denies having implicated Mr. Ful ton in the land frauds, but adds: “ A ll of these persons who have been Implicated in organized land frauds are friends of Benator Fulton. Therefore it appears whimsical to me that Benator Fnlton should, through the power of senatorial oonrteey, be able to defeat the nomination cf Mr. Bristol, who is oapable of making It unpleasant for the yet uneonvicted land thieves in Oregon.” MOBCHINESESTORES Mounted Police Called Upon to Quell Canadians. DUE TO FALSE MURDER ¡STORY Sateless Rumor That White Man Is Weunded Arouses Fury o f Afhlta People. Lethbridge, Alberta, Dec. 28.— Be cause they believed that a prominent, citixen bail been murdered in a Chinese reatauiant, 1,600 men raided the Ori ental quarter lute laet night and left a wieck behind. Restaurants and laun dries were smashed, doors and windows and entire fronts of buildings being re duced to splinters. The regular police of the town were powerless and a bri gade of mounted polioe had to be called out to quell the not. It was just after 9 o'clock that the mob began to form. The story had got abroad that Harry Bmith, one of tba best known ranchers of the cattle dis trict of which thia city is the center, had been fatally wounded in a restau rant. Curiously enough, neither 8m th nor any one else had been hn t bat even the police were misled by tha tale and two Orientals were placed under arreat, charged with hia murder. An indignant mob gathered oppoiete the eating house and there was talk of lynching. Suddenly someone threw a rock, which smashed a front window, and in a moment the crowd was beyond control. Bricks and stones were need and, when the doors had been broken, the tables and chairs and dill ea wars smashed. The Columbia and Alberta restaurants were literally wrecked. What coaid not be conveniently broken by the few men who coaid get insida was passed out to the atreet to the mob in waiting, and there demolished. At 10 o’clock a detachment of mount ed police appeared and the crowd scattered. Hundreds of the riotara merely shifted the scene of their pillag ing. Three blocks away, opposite th* Arlington hotel, they cleaned out an other Chinese restaurant and badly handled two Orientals who were cap tured within. Mayor Galbraith, who had rnshed to the scene when the monnted police were first called, delivered a speech asking good citixeng to disperse. The crowd listened to him and to Magistrate Townsend, who spoke later. A ll possi ble damage haying been done, the crowd went home. Five of the rioters bava been arrest ed, bat it ia doubtful if they w ill ha prosecuted. O PE N H E AR TS AND P U R S E «. San Francisco Banks Generous With O varwo{ked Clarks Fan Franciaco, Dec. 26.— Elated at the calm course of bui-iueea which* luaikttd the discontinuance of the holi* daya, the local bankers opened their hearts and puiaea and their clerks and other employee were richer by $30,000 than they Were yesterday. Almost eveiy hank in the city reaarded its men for the long hours of tgil during the recent trying daya. The Crocker National bank led off yesterday morning, when a yellow en velope was placed on the desk of every employe. It contained an amount equivalent to one month’s salary. The amount thus distributed exceeded $10,- 000, The Crocker interests are very large and they rewarded « i n a similar fashion thair employes in other lines. Othei banka have generously treated their men. Some added turkeyi to the present« of gold. Others added boxes of fruit. The Merchants Exchange gave every one of its employes a big, fat tnrkey. It employes 100 people. One meican- tile firm provided eveiy one of its em ployes with all the things that go' to make up a Christmas dinner— turkeys, vegetables, fruit and piee. The Standard Oli company distrib uted a large sum among it« local em ployes.

Goldfield, Nev., Dec. 26.— “ I t is pos sible that the governor will tall a spe cial session of the legislature,” said Captain Cox, “ if by so doing any im mediate reslults which w ill better the situation can lie obtained.” The rumor has been current here that a company of rangers is contem plated, and, as this could not bs done without action by the legislatme, the statement of Captain Cox is taken to mean that, such a plan is decided upon, the legislature w ill be conveued. A suit against the Western Federa tion of Miners is to be brought by the Goldfield Mineowners’ association in the Federal court. An injunction w ill be.asked for restraining the members of the local miners union, which is affiliated with the Western Federation, fiom interfering in any wey with the operation of the mines in Goldfield. This suit w ill be filed December 26.
