GOMEZ SEEKS PEACE!, ASKS FOR FRIENDSHIP. I Eight Month' Rupture With Vene- Izutla Draws to Cloto. Washington, Dec. S3 A(tcr eight new iresmeni 01 Venezuela nas moini. the united state has re- I sumed friendly relations with Vene- Started Reform Movement. ALSO SHUTS OFF CASTRO'S CASH Absent President Accused of Comply city U Plot Decree Against Holland It Suspended. Caracas, Dec. 21. The end of the rule in Venezuela of Ciprano Castro has come. The dictator who has gov erned the republic with a rod of iron ever since he took forcible possession of the Yellow House in Caracas in 1H09, is now openly charged with con spiracy to encompass the assassina tion of the man whom he left at the head of the republic when he sailed away on November 23 from I-a Guyra, nominally to secure skilled medical aid in licrlin for a malady of long standing, and is today thoroughly dis credited. The Hank of Venezuela has cabled its correspondents at Uerlin and l'aris cancelling the unlimited letter of credit given to Scnor Castro when he left Venezuela for Europe, and no one in Caracas believes he will ever dare return to the capital. . The Castro cab inet has been forced to resign, and a new and progressive ministry has been appointed by Juan Vicente Gomez, the acting president. The attempt on the life of Senor Gomez was frustrated by the coolness and courage and the daring act of the president himself. Alone and unsup ported, he arrested the ringleaders of the conspiracy with his own hands in the presence of their armed adherents, and after this action he issued a proc lamation saying that not only had he saved his own life, but he had main tained the highest ideals of the re public Already the new administration shows signs of a desire and intention to settle the disputes between Venez uela and foreign powers that have kept the republic in a light of unen viable notoriety for several years past. At a conference held yesterday be tween Senor Gomez and Baron von zucla, and William I, Hiichanan has left on the cruiser North Carolina to visit that country, look into the situa tion and make a report to the state department. This will decide whether the United States will accord formal recognition to the government. It has not yet been fully estab lished that the Gomez government will retain its power without trouble, as there arc many adherents of Pres ident Castro in the country. Indeed, the possibility that disorder may arise is indicated in a request for an American ship at La Guayra, to which this government has promptly responded. The general opinion is that the new order of things will open the" way for the pacific settlement of Vene zuela's disagreement with this coun try. Holland and France. The refusal in March last of .the Castro administration to consider separately the issues with the United States made it plain that diplomacy could accomplish nothing further toward their settlement. In 1003 the Venezuelan govern ment, having failed to satisfy claims against it ,by various powers, Great liritain, Germany and Italy, block aded the ports of that country with the view to the forceful collection of the debts. Venezuela appointed Herbert W. Ilowcn. then American minister to Venezuela, as a commissioner to take un the question with the various gov ernments, and he signed protocols with them which reserved a certain percentage of the customs receipts, to be set aside to satisfy the claims. The blockading powers were made pre ferred creditors. LABOR LEADERS SENTENCED OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST Prison for Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison, Who Appeal. Washington, Dec. 23. T elvc months in jail for Samuel Gompers, president; nine months for John Mitchell, one of the vice-presidents, and six months for Frank Morrison, Secfcendorff. the German minister in secretary, all of the American Fcdcr charge of the interests of Holland .ation of Labor, was the sentence im since the departure of the Dutch min-p0JC(i ,y jUU8C Wright, of the su- ister. M de Reus, last summer, it was agreed to suspend the operation of the decree issued by President Castro prohibiting the trans-shipment of goods destined for Venezuela. Pend ing the signing of a treaty between Holland and a duly empowered Ven ezuelan commissioner, the Dutch war ships that have been patrolling the Venezuelan coast for nearly three weeks will be, withdrawn. CASTRO KEPT IN IGNORANCE Would Refuse to Believe His Down fall If He Were Informed. llerlin, Dec 31 Castro apparently is unaware of his downfall or the grav ity of the occurrences in Venezuela. Members of his party say he receives no dispatches "of any kind. The opin ion is steadily gaining ground here that Castro's power is completely broken. One of the most prominent mem bers of his suite, who did not wish his name made public, said: "No one has informed President Castro concerning the reports of what is going on, as the president would refuse to believe the dispatches. I cannot ask the president's opinion-on these things, because he is on a sick bed I am perfectly sure that he has not received a dispatch since Sunday, and am certain that there has been no exchange of cipher dispatches, because the president docs not possess a se cret code" The same personage ridiculed the idea of Castro's complicity in a plot to assassinate the acting president, Senor Gomez.

OUSTS OIL TRUST. STATE TAX LEVY. Revenue to Bo Raised for 1000 Ex ceeds That of 1000. Salem. One million six, hundred and scvcuty-fivc thousand dollars is the total approximate amount of rev enue to be raised for state purposes for 11)09. Four hundred thousand dol lars of the sum will he derived from indirect sources, leaving $1,273,000 to be apportioned among the several counties. This amount is $123,000 greater than the levy last year and $'.'10,000. greater than the levy two years ago The increase this year is due in part to the holding tin of the University of Oregon appropriation hill last year, by reason of which the levy for tons was at the rate of $17,300 per j car, as provided by laws then in ex istence Since the appropriation hill has gone into effect, carrying an ap propriation dating back to January 1, 1U07, it will be necessary, in nuk ing the tUO'j levy to include a Univer sity of Oregon deficit of about $133, ooo The 11M0 levy will include $100, ooo for the purchase of the Oregon City locks. bliould the legislature re peal the locks appropriation hill, this $too,ooo will be in the treasury sun icct to appropriation for other pur poses. One justatlmcut of $100,000 lias already been levied. The lew will not be made until early in January, 100, but the total amount here indicated. l,273,00i), is close enough to the actual amount that will tic levied so that county courts may act upon it in computing their share of state taxes. Already a number of counties have been anx iously inquiring what the state levy will be. Under existing laws, the ap portionment among the counties will be made at a fixed ratio which has been in force a number of years. In making the, apportionment for I two the state board will be con fronted with the problem of making an apportionment between Hood River and Wasco counties without any law prescribing how the appor tionment shall be made The act creating Hood River county con tained no provision upon this suoject. The state board passed the question mi to the attorney general and that otficial bus advised the board to di vide the Wasco county ratio between Wasco and Hood River in proportion to assessed valuations. Thus the law prescribing the ratio of apportionment of state taxes re quire that Wasco county pay .0x31 of the whole amount. Hut since then Hood River count v has been carved out of Wasco. 1 he assessed valua tion of Wasco county is now $3,- 0X7,313 and that of Mood River $V S70.SJMI. Dividing the apportionment COUNTRY LIFE COMMISSION. Oregon Agricultural College Faculty Makes Some Suggestions, Corvallis. At a meeting of the ag ricultural faculty of the Oregon Agri cultural college, the request of Presi dent Roosevelt s Country Life com mission for suggestions tint might aid the commission in milking its report was discussed and the following state ment prepared: "If federal appropriations arc to be made for improving social and eco nomic conditions in rural communi ties, it is recommended, first, that they be made to existing high schools ami normal" schools for the purpose of maintaining courses of instruction in agricultural, industrial and domes tic arts, and including business meth ods and home sanitation, so that all public school teachers may have the training necessary for teaching those subjects in the public schools. "iiccond, that in order to secure the full efficiency of the agricultral col leges and experiment stations, the national government should co-operate with the states in agricultural ex tension work, this work to be under the direct supervision of the agricul tural colleges With an adequate ap propriation a comprehensive system of traveling agricultural schools, far mers' institutes and free circulating libraries could he maintained, and pub lications issued for free distribution so that all important discoveries of the experiment stations could be given to every farmer of every state."

Virginia City Is Shaken and Sahoob house Topples, Virginia City, Mont., Dec. 2.1,-Two earthquakes in ten minutes, the first at V 93 this afternoon, caused the wildest excitement in this city, the paulc-slrlcken people rushing Into the streets In the belief that the buildings were about to topple over. Struc tures trembled violently, plaster came down, dishes were thrown to the floor, the main school building, a two story brick, was badly cracked, and the ground rent with scams from one to thice inches wide. Two mote shocks were experienced this evening, one at 0:33, the other at 0.30, and again sent the people hurry ing into the streets. The first of the tremors was felt yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, and another at 7:30 this morning. Frank Pace, who arrived from the Crater lakes, the scene of an extinct volcano, six miles south of Virginia City, wiiere 13 old craters have been filled with water, forming a chain of lakes, states that the ground heaved there like the bosom of a lake, caus ing immense fissures to form in the uiotmtniu and rending the cliffs. Some of these fissures, according to Mr Pace, lire from a foot and a half to two and a half feet wide. There is a belief that water of the Crater lakes has found its way through sulitcrraiirau passages to the rem nants of the fires of the old volcuuors, although the Yellowstone park is only 73 miles from here.
