K n oxville, Tenn., Sept. 18. — The
Federal grand jury now sitting in this
city is investigating alleged peonage
a at several railroad ramps in this
vicinity where hundreds of negroes are
employed. The investigation is going
on secretly under the direction of a de­
tective sent here by the government
from Washington on the complaint of
numerous negroes to District Attorney
J. R . Penland.
A ll last week the government build­
ing was crowded with negroes, who
one by one told their tale of woe and
maltreatment before the justice. I t is
believed indictments w ill be found this
week against some prominent railroad
contractors and their subordinates.
Th e government detective visited the
railroad camps in the role of a man de­
sirous of purchasing timber lands. He
spent a week or more in several differ­
ent camps located in Blount county,
and quietly gathered a volume of evi­
dence.
Most o f the negroes were brought
here from North and South Carolina
and other neighboring states. W itn
es have told some frightful stories of
the manner in which they were held
prisoners at the camps for debt. They
allege that a guard line is kept and no
man is allowed to pass this line. They
say that outrageous commissary prices
are charged them and they get deeply
in debt to the contractors. One or two
witnesses told stories of seeing negroes
killed and assert that the bodies were
sunk in the river.
Portland, Sept. 17.— That the $2,
500,000 needed for completion of the
Columbia bar jetty cannot be secured
next year from congress is the opinion
of Congressman Ransdell, of Louisiana,
and Jones, of Washington, members of
the rivers and harbors oommittee, who
have just inspected the jetty, escorted
by members of the chambers of com­
merce of Portland and Astoria, mem­
bers of the Oregon delegation in con
grass, Governor Chamberlain, Lieuten­
ant Colonel Roeealer, who is United
8tates engineer of this district, and
others.
That it is inadvisable to resume work
on the jetty until this sum shall be
available, either as an appropriation or
under continuing contract, if very
wasteful construction is to be avoided,
was the opinion ol the two committee
members, who accorded with the view
of Colonel Roeeeler announced before a
meeting of the.Chamber oi Commerce of
Portland Friday night. Colonel Roees-
ler advised further that money should
not be diverted from the bar project,
by insistence on sums of money for
other improvements on the river, lar­
ger than are necessary for maintenance
of present work and slow construction.
This plan is opposed by Representa­
tive Jonee, who rather considers the
Celllo project more important than tbe
bar project, at least to the upper Go
lumbia river region, which wants lower
transportation rates to and from tide­
water. He take« the view that the Ce-
lilo barrier, which now prevents navi­
gation up and down the river, should
be opened as soon as possible, and that
the bar improvement is not as urgent
as is alleged, because ships of 23 and
more feet draft can already pass in and
out.'
This opinion is shared .by M i. Rans­
dell, and he urges that the two piojects
be striven for together, saying that"
otherwise, there w ill be a divided
effort, which w ill react against the in
teiests of the entire river.
Mr. Jones and Mr.Ransdell said that
it is extemely unlikely that the jetty
can obtain $2,500,000, or that even tbe
whole Columbia river can secure such
a sum.
Both were even fearful that
th en w ill be no river and harbor bill
at all next year.
I t w ill be impossible, they said, to
put through an emergent y appropria
tion, as was done at the last session of
congress for $400,000, because that sum
was allowed simply in order that the
government might not lose several hun­
dred thousand dollars’ worth of con­
struction works at the jetty, for want
of money to finish the stone deposits
under the tramway then in place.
I t was not the most cheerful outlook
for the river, interests that were repre­
sented in the party. Its members be­
gan busying their heads with devices
for obtaining the required $2,600,000
right away, because, in their minds,
completion of the jetty is extremely
urgent.

buck lambs, for which a good pries was
paid, were shipped from Independence
to Wyoming for breeding purposes.
This week 800 fine Angora goats were
shipped from here to the state of Wash­

eral days awaiting cars for shipment.
Hundreds of men have looked at the
hand and all pronounce it the finest
large collection of goats ever seen in
the West. The purchasers were Car-
son A Littlejohn, of 8teilacoom, Wash.
The goats were bought up by Boothby

Riddell and Stump sheep and goat
farms, in particular, have national

stock shipped out of Polk lately.
As
much as $100 is often obtained for a
single ' ‘ billy*' goat, and as high as $5
a pound has been realised for the mo­
hair.
What seemed to be extravagant in­
vestments in imported sheep and goats
a few years ago are now bringing their
reward.
The goats just shipped out w ill be
put on the big stock farm of Carson A
Littlejohn, near Steilacoom.
“ I hope to see the Angora goat busi
nees built up in Washington like it is
in this state,” says Mr. Carson.
“ We

Coal Mine Bonded.
Medford — The recently discovered
coal mine on Rim Rock of Roxy Anne,
the mountain east of Medford, has been
bonded to the proprietors of tbe Blue
Ledge copper mine, who w ill put a
force of men supervised by R . P . L it­
tle, at work running three tunnels into
the mountain to determine the extent
of the measures, R. S. Towne, of the
Blue Ledge company, having concluded
tbe coal was of good enough quality to
use in the smelter of the Blue Ledge.
Mr. Towne has also made arrangements
to drill for oil on tne land bonded by
the coal mine people.
Hood River — The prices now made

River Newtown and Spitsenberg apples
have caused rp p le grower« to do some
figuring.
A well known apple man,
who Is an authority on this subject, in
talking about the matter, said:
“ A t tbe prices this year for the d if­
ferent lises of Spitssnbergs, which were
$3, $2.75, $2 50 and $2.25 per box,
growers obtained an average price of
$2.40. Placing the yield of 7-year-old
Spitsenberg trees, planted 65 trees to
the acre, at five boxes to the tree, we
w ill get 866 boxes to tbe acye. A 20-
acre orchard on this basis w ill produce
6,500 boxes, which, at tbe average
price of $2.40, gives us $16,600 for our
season’ s work.
“ The price« for Newtowns so far an­
nounced are $2 26, $2 and $1.75 per
box.
This give« us an average of $2
per box. But the Newtown ie more pro­
lific than the Spitsenberg, and produces
seven boxes to the tree instead of five,
giving us 65 boxes to tbs acre, or 9,100-
boxes for a 20 acre orchard. As can
easily be seen, the earnings on a ,20
acre Newtown orchard this year at
theee prices w ill be $18,200.
“ W hile these figures are large, they
are based on the yield of comparatively
young trees which have not yet reached
their full bearing maturity.
A full
bearing orchard can be safely depended
on, I think, to produce 500 boxes of
apples to the acre, as I know of several
in tbe valley that now do it. Figuring
on a basis with trees in fu ll maturity,
and with a large proportion of the crop
composing the larger sises, as it does
this year, it is not very difficult to de­
termine tha profits of the apple busi­
ness in the future.!’

OPINION OF COLONEL ROESSLER
Government Engineer Makes Xddress
B efore Meeting o f Portland
Open River Enthusiasts.
Portland, Sept. 16.— Conditions are
such that the national appropriations
for the improvement of the Columbia
river should be concentrated and di­
rected upon the work at the mouth of
the river, and that the other projects,
having for their purpose the opening
up of this great waterway, should wait
or proceed slowly until tbe biggest and
most vital undertaking of them all is
completed.
This is the opinion of
Lieutenant Colonel Roeeeler, of the
United States engineers, voiced by him
at the meeting of the river and harbor
improvement enthusiasts, held
last
night at the Chamber of Commerce.
One hundied or more of the most
prominent and earnest citisens of Port­
land gathered at the chamber to be en­
lightened as to the most effective meth­
ods to pursue in securing the ultimate
impiovement of the Columbia river as
it should be improved.
Congressman
Ransdell, chairman of the rivers and
harbors congress and member of the
bouse committee on rivers and harbors,
Congressman Jones, of Washington,
and others, addressed the meeting, but
the remarks of t b f prominent engineer
created the greatest interest because of
his advocating the “ mouth of tbe Co­
lumbia river first; then the other pro­
jects.”
Coming as they did from a man pos­
sessed of the expert knowledge as is
Colonel Roees ler, and one sc thorough­
ly familiar with every phase and detail
of the various works of improvement,
his address last night carried great
weight and made a deep and lasting
impression upon the representative * as­
semblage.
“ Let me impress upon you tbs one
thought which has been uppermost in
my mind in making theee remarks,,
namely, that it is good from an engi­
neer’ s standpoint, from a commercial
standpoint and from all points of view
to finish the great work at the mouth
of the river before asking large sums
for works farther up the river,” said
be, “ and that in my judgment it would
be contrary to the beet interests of all
the improvements, taken as a connect­
ed whole, to advocate the policy of di­
viding- up sny sum that congress may
decide to appropriate for the Colombia,
river valley in such a way as to prevent
the early fulfillment of, the commercial
aspirations which are centered in a
deep channel at the mouth of the
river.”
Beet Harvesters Needed.
La Grande— Preparations are going

cient help at the present time is i
