S.rikes Break Out in the Big Manu facturing Cities St. Petersburg, Ort. 18. — The strike at Moscow has given an impetus to the new wave of strikes and disorders which is sweeping over the country and which promises a repetition of tl e period of stress that prevailed in Janu ary and February, though, it is hoped, on a less serious acale. Besides the tumult in 8t. Petersburg and Moscow, strikes and disorders inspired by the events in the latter place are reported from Saratoff, Kieff, Kazan, Kharkoff and other cities, while the strike move ment has again broken out in Moscow. Disjiatchs from Ekaterinoslav, Ku ban and Tifiis report troubles in the Caucasus, which, however, have no connection with the Russian move ment. A large part of the working people seem to be inspired by a spirit of un rest. The movement is largely politi cal, and is engineered by the Social Democrats and Social Revolutionaries, many of the leaders of whom deplore the outbreak at this time, as it will interfere with the perfected campaign of the parties during the elections ot the douma. They say, however, that it was necessary to take advantage of the outbreak at Moscow, even though they were not fully prepared for the movement. PAY D U T Y O N P R E S E N TS . President O rd e rs Daughter 1 reated Like All Oth er Citizens. Chicago, Oct. 18.— A dispatch to the Record-Herald from Washington says: Secretary Shaw and Collector Stratton, of the port of San Francisco, have bad a load of trouble for several weeks about which the public has known nothing, and it was lifted yesterday when the secretary was told by Presi dent Roosevelt to collect the legal duty on all dutiable articles brought back to this country by Miss Alice RooseveL. The total duty is expected to reach nearly $60,000. The daughter of the president has re ceived during her trip to the Philip pines, China, Japan and Corea many pretty and some quite valuable pres ents. Some of the customs officers suggested Miss Roosevelt ought to be allowed to bring the valuables in duty free, inasmuch as she was treated with all the honors of a princess and did much to cement friendship between the United States and foreign countries. The belongings of crowned heads, of royalty and of diplomats are always ad mitted free of duty into the United States. Secretary Shaw received sug gestions until he was almost sick. The presents are worth probably $100,000, and if the usual rate of duty was im posed it would cost Miss Roosevelt or lier father upwards of 60 per cent or $60,000. Neither Miss Roosevelt nor her father is rich, although the young woman is understood to have a modest fortune in her own right. TO RECOVER Government Begins Six Suits in Court at Tacoma. TITLE WAS OBTAINED BY FRAUD Bribery, Perjury, Subornation of Per jury, Forgery, Fraudulent Affi davits, Etc , Charged. Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 17. — In the Federal court today six cases were filed by Attorney General Moody on behalf of the United States to recover to the government the title to lands of the public domain in Washington, Oregon and California, ou. of which the Unit ed States has been defrauded. The complaint charges that Freder ick A. Hyde, John A. Benson, C. W Clarke; the W illam ette Pulp A Paper company, a corporation existing under the laws of the state of Maine; W il liam G. Gosslin, Allred Truxbury, IV. H. Sawyer and others, by fraudulent schemes and practices, involving brib ery, perjury, sunorn->tion of perjury, forgery, fraudulent affidavits of persons not desiring or intending to purchase lands, and affidavits of fictitious per sons, have, while pretending to comply with the laws of the United States re garding the disposition of the public lands and the granting of lieu lands, divested the government of large tracts in the Vancouver land district in this state, and in California and Oregon. It is further charged that tiie defend ants employed one Henry P. Dimond, a lawyer of San Francisco, to assist them in their fraudulent procuring of public lands by representing them be fore the department at Washington, I). C. It is also alleged that the defendants employed Woodford D. Harlan and W illiam E. Valk, employes of the In terior department, whose duties are to investigate and report on cases of the fraudulent entry and acquisition of lands, to give them information con cerning departmental affairs connected with the public lands and otherwise misuse their trust to aid the defendants in defrauding the government. D YED B U T T E R FOR NAVY. Coal T a r Was Used by Contractors at League Island. T A R IF F N O T T O BE T O U C H E D . Senator Aldrich is Also Opposed to Railroad Rate Legislation. AVashington, Oct. 17.— Senator Aid- rich, of Rhode Island, the general man ager of the United States senate, is not telling what the program is to be for tjie coming session, but he has allowed an intimation to leak out that there will be no tariff legislation, and no revenue legislation beyond some pro vision for Panama canal bonds. What Mr. Aldrich may say and think is not necessarily the plan to be fol lowed, but it is pretty apt to be, and when the Rhode Island senator, who is chairman of the finance committee, says there is to be no tariff legislation, the probabilities are strongly in favor of such legislation being pigeonholed if it ever comes from the house. But Senator Aldrich is believed to be equally as interested in suppressing railroad rate legislation which would be offensive to his good friends, the railroads, and there again he is going to have something to say later, though he will not talk at the present time. Senator Aldrich is a member of the committee on interstate commerce, but he did not attend the hearings given by that committee last spring, after congress had adjourned. His mind is made up on that question. He knows how he will vote; he knows the kind of bill he favors; he understands what biB friends want, and when the time comes for action, though he w ill say little, he will get in a powerful lot of effective work. There is no discounting Senator A l drich’ s ability; he is one of the might iest factors in congress, and it so haf pens that he is chairman of the com mittee which handles tar iff legislation and a member of the committee that must pass upon the railroad rate bill after it passes the house. That is an other reason why Aldrich is in a po sition to speak with authority as to legislative prospects at the coming ses sion. M A KE TIM B E R DURABLE. Forest Service Studies Methods, Also Its Structural Strength. Washington, Oct. 17. — W illiam L. Hall, assistant forester in charge of the office of forest products in the forest service, has returned to Washington after an extended trip in the West. The study of the metiiods of seasoning and treating Western timbets to derive their greatest service when put to use, to which Mr. Hall has given special at tention on this trip, forms an import ant part of the work of this office. And the subject is considered o f such vital consequence by Bteam and electric rail ways and telephone and telegraph com panies in the West that a number of these companies are co-operating with the forest service in its consideration. Their interojt centers chiefly in timbers for tie and pole purposes. Tests are now under way for tamarack, hemlock and cedar timber in Michigan and Wis consin, and for red fir, western hemlock and wi stern tamarack in Idaho and Washington. Another important line of work in the office of forest products is a series of tests of strength of structural tim bers. T O B U I L D S M E L I ER. R E A M E S S I G N S UP . Irrigation in Klamath County it Doubly Assured. Now Klamath F'alls— Evan R. Reames has signed the trust deed for his surplus land under the lower project, consist ing of 2,500 acres. This makes the assurance of this project being completed by the govern ment doably sure, as about 93 per cent ot the surplus holdings embraced in the lower project has now been signed up with the Klamath Waterusers’ associa tion. The government only asked for 75 per cent of the total and 73 per cent was signed up before Mr. Reames came into the association. Though this was not quite the amount asked, all prepar ations had been made to go on with the work without him, and the people were assured that the government would riot turn itTdown, regardless of whether he signed or not. Mr. Reames’ tract was the largest in dividual holding in the project not signed, and the land belonging to the G. W. Smith estate, consisting of 1,200 acres, is practically all thai is left Jout at present. This w ill cost the estate 50 cents penalty per acre if the owners wish to sign up for irrigation. Other wise it w ill be left dry, so far as Uncle Sam is concerned. There are a few other tracts not yet signed up, but they are all small. J U R Y V E N I R E IS D I S M I S S E D . State Land Fraud Cases Will Go Over Until January. Salem— The demurrers to the infor mations against A . T. Kelliher and H. H. Turner, chaiging forgery of an as signment of a certificate of sale and also of an application to purchase stale school lands, were argued by counsel for the state and defendants respect ively and taken under advisement by Judge Burnett. Defendants also filed a plea in abatment on the ground that H . H. Turner was a witness before the grand jury and his name was not men tioned in the information. Judge Burnett has dismissed the jury venire for the term, which w ill have the effect of postponing the trial of the case to the January term of court, against the wishes of District Attorney McNary, who desired to bring it to issue and trial during the present term. Portland and Grants Pass Capital Has Placed the O rd e r, Grants Pass— A custom smelter, the first in Southern Oregon, for handling gold and copper ore, is soon to be added to the industries of Grants Pass. The Rrgue River Mining, Smelting & Pow er company, made up of Grants Pass and Portland men, have secured back ing from some of the leading capitalists of Boston, who have placed to the credit of the smelter company all the funds that w ill be required for the con- - struction of the smelter and for putting it in operation. The order was placed a month ago with a Spokane foundry tor the manu facture of the furnaces and the machin ery, and word has been received that the first of next month the first ship ments w ill be made. The smelter w ill he located at the Savage rapids, on Rogue river, five miles east of Grants Pass, and on the Southern Pacific rail • road, where the smeller company has a large tract oi land on Doth soles of the river. The smelter for the p resen ts w ill te of 100 tons capacity per day, and w ill he of the latest pattern in every respect. The smelter w ill he so arranged that it can be enlarged at any time. The last of this month a large force of men w ill be put at work putting in the siding at the smelter site, and in construction work on the smeller, ore bins and the necessary buildings. The orebins w ill be completed first and be \ ready to receive ore by the middle of November. It is expected to have the furnace ready to blow in by New Years, and the inauguration of an industry made that w ill be far reaching in its effects in developing the great mineral wealth of Southern Oregon. Cone May Build at Dallas. Dallas— George Cone, whose sawmill at St. Johns, Ore., was recently de- 4 stroyed by fire, has made a proposal to 1 build and operate a m ill of 50,000 feet daily capacity at this place, provided the people will extend aid to the amount of $2,000. Businessmen generally seem to favor the plan and the offer w ill probably be accepted. M . M. Ellis, president of the local board of trade, has been authorized to name a solicit ing committee. I f the amount is secu- - red work on the buildings w ill com- f menee at once. Hop C ro p Excellent. State Has Much Scrip.
