WITTE ONLY TITULAR RULER. Governor Whom He Removed Gets Higher Office. Boston, Dtc. 20. A communication to Kuwian revolutionist brauchrs in Boston Las Wen rtcelved by mail from llussla. It is issued by authority of the League of Leagues, and in part reads as follows: Our suspicion of an inner ami secret government superseding that of Count Witte has Wen confirmed. A case has just happened that proved the truth of our assertions. The governor of Odesta, Meidgard, who organized massacres in that city and provir.ee, was dismissed by Witte for the band he took in the work; ho 1ms now been appointed gov ernor of Nijnl Novgorod. Count Witte, on being asked how he could give a new and even greater and higher apKInt ment to such a notorious villain, re plied that the appointment was made not only without his consent, but even without his knowledge. The comumcation relates that in sev eral of the provinces the czar's mani festo of emancipation was withheld by order of the stcret government. Had the manifesto been made public, the letter says, wholesale massacres would have been prevented. WRECKERS DRAW SPIKES. Smash In Kansas Causes Two Deaths and Two Fatal Injuries. Heading.

Fruit Men Meet at La Grande, La Grande The next annual meet ing of tho Northwestern Fruitgrowers' association will be held in La Grande January 3-6. SERVICE IMPROVED. Southern Pacific Arranges New West Side rimo Card. Portlrttul Requests for better freight service on tho Southern Pacific between Portland and Corvallls havo been fruit ful, for the company has arranged a supplementary timeeard which will give that territory ilally freight In each direction Instead of a trl-weokly service. Simultaneously with the Inaugura tion of the new train, the St. Joseph Lafayette, cut-off is opened, and this means the eight and one-half miles of track between ljifayetlo mid White-son, on the Yamhill division, will not be used to any extent and may bo aband oned entirely. Tho princiiml advantage In the new passenger time schedule will be that residents of D.iy ton and New berg can ride into McMinnville, tin county t-rat, and return home the same day, an the trains will bo 0crted via Dayton and McMinnville. There are no stations on the. Yamhill line between I-adtyctto and Whlteson, and but two spurs, so it is figured no imrticulnr ham will result if that por tion of tho road is torn up. The deter mination of the Southern Pacific to place a daily freight train on the route pleases shippers, both Iu Portland and along tho West Side division. For some time a strong, effort has twit made by the shippers of McMinnville, Dayton, Forest Grove and lllllrboro to secure a hotter service, but this could not U satistactortly arranged until the cut-bff was completed, which cost 43, 047. Good Library at Asylum. Salem The lack of a supply of good books for the prisoners at the state en itentlary formed Ihesubjrct of comment iu the reort of Secretary Cornelia Mar vin to the Oregon Library oommis'lon. What is true of the prison Is true also of other state institutions, and Miss Marvin Is tailing a movement to pro vide the state's charges with god read ing matter. At the insane asylum a largo library was found, but It is wed by comwralively few patients. Misi Marvin remarks upon the fact that the insane asylum has a largo library of unusually good Ixxiki without great use, while across the way, at the prison, there is nothing to be used ami a great demand. Weyerhsuser Road for Lumber. Klamath 1-hII Following the defi nite announcement that the Klamath I.ake railroad lntretn have Ixtm pur chaeJ by the Weyerhaeuser Lumber oornHny It is announced that the Wey erhaeuser people do not contemplate building to this city, but will only aim to use the rood as an outlet for the large timber interest they hold In this part of tho country.
