MUST INTERVENE
Only Disposition of the Contro
versy in Cuba.
TAFT DESPAIRS OF MEDIATION
Moderates Willing to Accept Terms
of Med'ators, but Liberals Not
Inclined to Yield.
Havana, Sept. 22. reaco for Cuba,
unites accomplished through American
intervention, seems to be further away
now than when Secretary of War Tail
and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon
begun negotiations to harmonize the
opposing factions. The arrival today of
three United States battle ships and
two cruisers in addition to those al
ready here has had little effect on the
insurgents in the field, and, when the
leaders of the revolution were apprised
of the squadron's presence they greeted
the Information with Spanish expres
sions to the effect that'
"They cannot come into the bruin."
A meeting of the executive committee
of the Moderate party was hastily sum
moned this evening and it was voted
unanimously to accept whatever dispo
sition of the controversy Messrs. Tail
and Bacon may decide upon, in the
hope that such a concession will Induce
t te Liberals to yield similarly. The
latter however, have as yet signified
no willingness to accept the decision of
the American mediators.
Messrs. Taft and Bacon have practi
cally abandoned their hope of finding a
middle ground and fear that a decision
in favor of either side would result in
no more than temporary tranquility
'for the island. It is their belief that
American occupation ia the only way
to end the civil warfare, and it la not
denied that intervention must be fol
lowed by American sovereignity. Mr.
Taft has cabled to President Roosevelt
regarding the gravity of the situation,
and Mr. Roosevelt ia expected to dic
tate any further program.
MEAT LABELS TO TELL TRUTH.
Vvilson's Rules Forbid Calling Pork
Beef and Libels. on Lard.
Washington, Sept. 22. Further rul

"type," "brand," or "style." as the
case may be, except upon foods pro

brawn j" "Westphalia haa" mutt be
"Westphalia style bam." The word
"ham," without prefix indicating the

department to be a pork ham, bat trim

in tbe preparation of potted meats or
sausage, or when used alone, may be
known as "potted ham" or "bam sau

The rales clearly define what consti
tutes pure lard, but prescribe that a
substance composed of lard, stearin or
other animal fat and veget&ble oil may
be labeled "lard compound."

Interstate Commission Turns Down
Pacific Coast Lumbermen.
Chicago, Sept. SI. Various Eastern
and Western railroads, through their
legal repreeeatatix , made strenuous
object to Dt today before tbe Interstate
Commerce com mission to tbe presenta
tion of testimony by the Pacific Coast
Lumber Manufacturers association in

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST j
STATE FAIR A SUCCESS.
Attendance at Salem About Equal to
Two Yoars Ago.
Salem Notwithstanding three half
days of cold, rainy weather, together
with the fact that this is tho height of
the hop harvest, the Oregon state fair
of 1900 haa been one of the most suc
cessful In the history of the state. Tho
attendance was about equal to that of
two years ago and was much larger on
Portland day. Sales of concessions and
advertising space have been good and
receipts from this source have been
larse.
The additions to tho pavilion not on
ly made more space for exhibits, but
gave more room for sales of conces
sions. These circumstances made the
fair a success financially undit is slated
ttiat tbere aro (unus on liana to pat
every claim.
Nearly 4,000 people wero camped in
the grove in front of the fair gruiinds
and the come-aiid-stay-all. week Idea haa
become so populir that a number of
regular visitors at the fair have decided
to erect small cottages on the grounds
next year. Since regular streets and
olocks have been laid out, this can be
done satisfactorily.
Visitors to the etate fair gave only
passing attentton to the sample roal
the government ia building adjacent to
the state fair grounds. Tho end of the
road and a few rods ,o( its length are
plain!) visible (ran. the street cai track,
as alto are the crushed rock bunkers,
but aside from tho view thus obtained
tha vishora paid -little attention to the
road. The road won quite general ap
proval, especially on the rainy days,
when the crushed rock road was entire
ly free from mud and slush.
A few farmers and road supervisors
took timo to inspect the manner in
which the road was built and made in
quiries as to tbe construction, but the
greater number were more interested in
livestock and horse races.
Tunneling on O. R. & N.
La Grande An enlarged force of
men ia now engaged in tunneling the
monntaina between Kamela and Hit
gard in order that the O. It. & N. main
line will not cross so mnny trestles,
which at present are high and numer
ous. When the tunneling Is completed
the stream that now crosses and re
crosses the right of way will have a
continuous course on one side of the
track. The treaties will be filled in aa
tbe new coarse it fixed, and much re
pair and loss of time, which necessarily
follows from so many trestles, will be
eliminated. Tbe scheme is a gigantic
one and will require many months to
complete.
Labor Famine at Hood River.
Hood River The scarcity of laborers
at IlooJ River Is said by sawmill men

sults of the traveling library system
proven, from an educational stand
point, that the Btate Library commis
sion has elected to place a new order

be restricted at least 60 per cent, sheep
owners have, during the paat three
weeka, sold large portions of their
flocks. Tbe pries have been good and
It is estimated by one sheep buyer that
76,000 head have been sold out of Wal

GRABBED BY SPECULATORS,
Klamath County Development Will Ua
Delayed, Says Blanchard.
San Francisco O. J. Blanchard, n
member of the reclamation seiv Ice from
Washington, is authority for the state
ment that the development of the
Klamath country will be hindered be
cause nl the fact that land speculators
have seised upon hundreds ( acres In
this new Irrigation proeject of the gov
ernment. "I look for a great development In
tho Klamath country," he sold, "but
this development will Ire delayed lm-caur-c
of the number of laud speculators
who have secured lino tracts there.
They are holding this land at from $26
to $40 an aero. This price will pre
vent many srttleta from coming to Ore
gou, and will retard the progn-ss of the
Klamath country. The government
will charge the settlers f 26 an acre for
water, and this amount, added to the
speculators' price for the laud, will
act to the detriment of the purchaser
The news that the Southern Pacific will
build through Klamath will gieatly add
to the value of the land there."
Blanchard waa delighted with the
work of the Irrigation congress at Boise,
which he attended.
"We appointed a publicity commit
tee there." he sild, "which will great
ly aid the Pacific coast. This commit
teo will place before tha common peo
ple of the United States a truthful re
port of the irrigation country and will
help them get land."
Begins Work on Second Unit.
Klamath Falls Work on the second
nnlt of tho Irrigation system has com
menced under direct supervision of the
government officials. This unit in
cludes 19 rnllea of the Kast Branch
canal and 27 rnllra of laterals. Bids
for the construction of this unit were
advertised for some months ago, hut
non was received, and the construction
work la now undertaken by the govern
ment, on force account.
Hop -Picking Resumed In Clackamas.
Oregon City Hsppicking has been
resumed in earnest in all yards In this
locality. No damage has resulted to
the hop crop here on account of the
rain, except in a few yards where some
of the vine were laid on the ground on
account of the heavy foliage. The yield
continues about one-fourth below the
average, but the qntllty Is good. Pick

BRIDGE COLLAPSES.
Many Killed and Injured In Oklahoma
Train Wreck.
Guthrie. Okla., Sept. 1U. Right poo
pie aro dead, 20 iiinro ui less Injured,
ami as many morn are missing In the
most disastrous wreck In the recent his
tory of the Rook Island, which occurred
three miles from Dover, Okla., yestur
day. The engine, tender baggage and mall
cars, smoker and day romih of nasseii
oer train No. 12. northbound, left the
high bridge that spans the Cimarron
river, and plunged Into the current
Hanked by tieacherous qiilcksainla.
The locomotive disappeared from sight
almost Immediately. The mall and
baggage clerks escaped from their
coaches and swam to the shore.
Tho accident was due to the defective
condition ol the bridge which was
swerved out of line by the pressure ol
driftwood carried down by the swollen
stream. The train was an hour late
and was running at high speed tu make
up time. Tlio engineer did not see the
wml 1 1 Ion of the bridge until he was
within a few jards, when It was too
late to stop. He shouted to his fire
man, threw on the brakes and Jumped.
He landed on the veiy verge of the
rlvei bank and rscaped unhurt. The
tlreiuan was lots fortunate, sustaining
severe Inluiles.
When the engine struck the bridge
the whole structure suddenly collapsed,
preclpatlng the engine and roadies Into
the water. The chair car and two
heavy Pullmans were not pulled In,
but remained on the track
The most authentic accounts place
the iiumbor nl passengers In the smok
er at betw een 2o and 30. With but
few exceptions these have not Ix-cn ac
counted for. Che only hopeful news Is
contained In messages received from
rural distrlcta. Men on bits of drift
wood have Iteen seen going down strram
at various points, lmt attempts at rr
cue have In most instances proved futile.
NEW STORM ARISES.
Santo Domingo Again Infected
With
Revolutionary Fever.
Washington, Sept. 10. Just as the
Cuban Insurrection appears to be on
the point of harmonious adjustment,
the United States government la con

When the advisability of withdraw,
log the naval forces from Dominican
waters waa discussed when the crista

waa mads that it might give encourage

It waa finally decided, however, that
the Dominican government had maltera
well In hand and that no chanie waa to
be apprehended with the pierent II ret
of gunboats In those watera.
