OYER HUNDRED CLAIMS INVOLVED Original Settlcrt Declare if Ejectment Proceeding Fall Other Means Will De Taken. Newport, Or., Aug. 13. Proceed ings to eject Uio alleged squatters on the Silotx reservation claims of sever al Lincoln county residents arc to be taken at onco. If those are unsuccess ful, the original settlers declare other means to dispossess the contestant will be taken. Serious trouble is feared. Two of the claims In dispute were originally taken by L. W. William, and Frank Priest, of this city. W. S. Copeland ami V. JltTcott are now on these claims. They have been ordered by the original claimants to move and have refused. They declare that they will stay until the cases are finally settled by the land office. This, it is declared, is the attitude of all the contestants. The original settlers declare they will not permit the contestants to carry out this plan. Homesteaders whose claims are thus threatened do not know what to make of this bold move by the "squatters." I They arc certain that a hundred or more of the best claims are now liable to seizure any day. They are informed by the men now squatting on their places that legal advice has been ob tained and that the squatters paid large sums for the Vocation and for protection, but the homesteader are in a fighting temper, because they cannot see by what possible legal twist they can be deprived of their claims without a trial.

Japanese army olllcer, supposed to be a spy and traitor, by Japauese soldiers at tached to tho Fekltt legation, will re sult in the presentation by China of a formal protest against tho doing of police duty by legation guards outside of tho legation precincts. The olllcer in question wns Captain Kyhwatn. He was in the artillery branch of tho Hiroshima division ami he wns formerly an instructor in the Chines? military college at l'ao Ting Ku. He was charged with selling Jap anese military secrets to a foreign power and disappeared from Japan in June. On August 1 he was discovered dis guised as a Chinaman, hiding near the war otllce in IVkin. This knowledge was communicated to the legation guanfc and n detachment win sent to capture him. He resisted arrest, w hereupon the guard shot and wounded the spy ami he tiled two days later in the hospital ot the legation guanl. M. Abe, the Japanese charge d'af faires, has urged lack of time and the importance of the prisoner in extenun tion of the action of the guard in not notifying the Chinese authorities be fore arresting the captain. He ex plains further that the resistance of the prisoner was unforeseen and that his consequent shooting ccukl not bo avoided. The Chinese government is not sat isfied with this explanation, and thinks its authority has been Ignored. The incident has created a good deal of feeling on both skies.

The forest fires which raged around Fsmie have spread to Canada's national park dis trict near Banff, in Pray valley. The fire bunted fiercely on the heights of Goat mountain this week.

A fire started at Castle mountain, IS miles west of Banff last night under a strong west wind in a half hourhad run over eight miles. Boats and sup plies were forwarded from Banff. The wind shifted to the northeast, and with this in their favor the fire-fight- cm should be able to secure control. No anxiety U felt at Banff about this hut fire, as it would be eempar atively easy to protect the town, even if the Are came down the valley, owing to the large area of open hay meadow to tho west, on which the grass is yet grcon and on which water is yet standing.

Harrlman Railroad Attorney Claims Roads Can Give Rebates. San Francisco, Aug. 14.- Peter F. Dunne, attorney for the Southern Pa cific railroad in its defense against the charge of illegal rebating before the Uailroad commissioner, today insisted strongly that a common carrier could not be guilty of unjust discrimination unless the rate complained of was made with "an evil intent." He held further that the railroad was entirely justified, the attorney general to the contrary notwithstanding, in making better terms to large hipers than to their small-fry rivals. Mr. Dunne also touched upon the matter of competition and held, in op position to the arguments of Messrs. Benjamin and Cushing made the day before, that it was part of a company's innerent right of contract to take com petition into consideration In making freight schedules! He also argued that the railroad had a right to consider whether it had a chance to carry the same material again in the form of a more finished product and, when there was such a chance, to make a lower rate on the raw material. If any or all of the cir cumstances considered made it good policy to carry freight for nothing, he could see no provision in the law to forbid it. PRUNE GROWERS SMILE.

Iso orders have been placed, but the car equipment companies have been notified that this amount repre sents the total of an early purchase by the Harriman lines, and for more than half the cars there have been filed specifications on which the equip ment companies may base their bids. Competition between the companies is said to be keen, for the orders, if filled, will be altogether the largest since the panic. The estimated east of the 6.000 steel ears ranges all the way from $6,000, 000 to $7,000,000: It is expected that the lower figure will prove, nearer cor rect, lor in reason that the competi tion between the ear equipment com panies may result in a cut price.
