A Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Events of the Past Week. Freeh trouble has appeared in the Balkan states. 26, 1906 NO. 31 GIVEN FREE HAND. CONTROL THE CASH. France Assures United States She Respects Monroe Doctrine. Washington, Jan. 23.—Convinced of the sincerity of the assurances received from France regarding her loyalty to the Monroe doctrine and all tnat it in volves, the Washington government has given the Paris government a free hand in tlie execution of the program for the solution of the Venezuelan prob lem. The conference on this pliaee of the question occurred some titre ago, and M. J usee rand, the French ambas sador, has final assurances that the efforts of France t obtain diplomatic treatment for her cbsrge d’affaires at Caracas will not 1 e interrupted at Washington es i-, uky violative of the Monrore doctrine.* The first move in the execution of the French program may be expected at any time, but on this point the French government is observing tlie stiicteet secrecy. M. Taigny, tlie retiring French charge, who, it is believed, is now at Curacoa, will come to this country on his way home, and on his arrival at New York he will find an invitation from the French ambassador at Wash ington to spend several days here in conference with M. Jusserand, on whom the turdtn of an important phase of the Venezuelan negotiation naturally falls, that he may have the benefit of the facte about the situation. It is not unlikely that M. Taigny will also see Secretary Root. The whereabouts of the French ships remain a mystery so far ae the officials of the State department and French embassy are concerned, it is said. It is assumed, however, that they are daily in touch with the ministry of marine at Paris, and are awaiting an opportunity to take such action as their instructions may provide for. Great interest is felt in diplomatic circles here about the exact nature of a sentence found objtctionable in the note of President Castro to M. Taigny Senators Want Hand in the Allotment of Reclamation Funde. Washington, Jan. 22.— Tbe senate committee on irrigation today discussed the proposition to amend tbe national irrigation law by placing tbe distribu tion of tbe reclamation fund in tbe bands of congress, instead of the secre tary of the interior, ae at present. Strong sentiment in favor of the change developed. Several senators on th« committee believe it unwiBe to permit the secretary of tlie interior to havs undisputed control of this fund, now aggregating $32,000,000. No bill for this purpose was pending, but probably such a bill will be introduced and passed this seeeicn. The discussion today was incident to a debate on Heyburn's townsite bill, which authorizes tbe withdrawal of land for townsite purposes on govern ment irrigation tracts, and provides that money derived from tbe sale of town lots shall be turned into the re clamation fund for expenditure on town improvements. This bill was referred to a sub-committee for report. The committee also gave attention today to Fulton’s bill authorizing the condemnation of land needed as part of national irrigation projects. No action was taken, but members expressed the opinion that such a law would be un constitutional. This bill was drawn particularly with a view to enabling the government to acquire private land under the Malheur irrigation project. It will be acted upon later. Rockefeller has given $1.450,000 to Chicago university. A bill to revive the canteen has been introduced in congress. Taft denies that the Philippine com missioners speculate in land, as has been charged. The government has abandoned the Harney irrigation project and will let tlie private company go ahead with the work. Representative French, of Idaho, has introduced a bill appropriating $10,000 for experimental dry farming in semi- arid regions.

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST 100 STAMPS AT GOLD COIN. LAND TRADE IN DISPUTE. Extensive Preparations Made to Con tinue Operations. Baker City—Dr. T. H. White, one of the three owners of the Gold Coin mine, has just returned from Portland, where he arranged for the addition of 100 stamps to their ten-stamp mill al ready in operation, and purchased a new hoist to be shipped to the mine at once. The machinery will all be made in Portland. Since tbe favorable decision in the injunction case by the Circuit court, given the other day, the mine will be in full operation the balance of the winter. Managing Owner James A. Panting, of the Gold Hill mine, in the Durkee camp, 26 miles southeast of Baker City, is here and reports that he has had a full force of men at work retiuibering some of the tunnels and stopes, and that he has cut the main ledge ten feet wider on the lower levels. In doing this work he Btruek another stream of wat>r in tlie mine, which will give him a sufficient supply to irrigate another 100 acres of the home ranch. He says the re. ent heavy enow storm will bene fit both farming and mining interests. Involving 4,000,000 Feet of Lumber in Court. Baker City—A land trade between Stoddard Bros, and Henry Hewitt is occupying public attention. Hewitt tiled an action at law against the Stod dards, asking $2,852 damages, because he alleges the defendants in that action cut sawlogs on his property. The Stod <’ard Brothers have come back with a crossbill in equity, alleging that they traded Hewitt a quarter section of land for a like amount of property in this county. Under the agreement, they say, they were to build a railroad spur onto the land and cut tlie timber thereon, and Hewitt was also to cut immediately tlie timber on the land they traded him. The party securing more than $1,900,- 000 feet of good sawlogs was to put up the difference to the other. They ask that Hewitt be forced to comply, as they have been under expense in build ing the railroad spur. Deal Visit Excites Speculation. Baker City — ft is reported on good authority that George I.. Thayer, of Walla Walla, engineer for the North western Gas A Electric company, who has been in this vicinity for tlie past few days, has been investigating a pro ject for a mammoth reservoir at the Rock creek power plant, which at pres ent furnishes the current for Baker City’s lights. This reservoir would be used to furnish power for the plant during the dry season. Another report states a project is under consideration to cut Baker City off the Rock creek circuit, and that the company will use tlint plant for power for the mines and Bourne alone, and will use tlie plant being installed in South Baker to fur nish power for this city. No Longfer Superintendent. Salem — David E. Baxter, who was appointed county superintendent of schools in November by the county court of Wheeler county, is out of office. The county superintendent died, and tbe county court appointed Mr. Baxter to till the vacancy. At torney General Crawford held that the appointment was for the unexpired term, and that Baxter would hold office until 1908. Recently it was discovered that Baxter did not hold a first-grade certificate, and again a question came up as to Baxter’s eligibility to hold the office. This time the attorney general Change Site of Bridge. held that unless Baxter could show a certificate ae required by law, the office E'gin—The judges of Wallowa and was vacant.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 22.—It is be lieved that workmen employed in the government woika are being shot after brief trials by courts martial. It is re ported that the victims selected for slaughter are ltd out three at a time and executed before the eyes of their comrades, who are awaiting their turn to face the soldiers. As soon as one hatch has been dispatched, three other prisoneis are lined up in the same spot and shot. Firing has been heard at the scenes of execution, continuing without cessation. The military has also resorted to bea.ing girls brutally as a means of punishment. Stories of tbe cruelties that arn being practiced have become noised about, and they have entirely inflamed the revolutionists, who are planning re prisals. In the south of Russia there is a great congestion of grain, as it has been accumulated for some time, and there is no means of transporting it, as the authorities are too busy with their campaign of repression against the re volutionists to think of the administra tion of every day affairs. BUDS SWELL IN CHICAGO. Warmest Winter Day in History May Injure Growing Things. Chicago, Jan. 22. — Something has gone wrong with the weather machine. All residents of this city are willing to swear to this fact. The mercury reached 63 at 4 p. m. today, breaking all records since New Year's day of 1876, w hen it stood at 66 above. Gar deners at the parks and along the boulevards have become greatly wor ried The mild rains, light snows and general springlike weather of the past two weeks have brought the sap into motion and buds are beginning to swell. Maple trees are said to be ae far advanced as they should be on March 1, and many of the more or less delicate vines are well along toward tbe spring rejuvenation. Now that a cold wave is predicted for tomorrow, with a drop of nearly 40 degrees, great fears are expressed lest all vegetation now atarteil may suffer such a set-back as will cause great loss in the floral and shrubbery display of the many mil««» of park and boulevards in the airing. All States Should Act. New York, Jan. 22, — A general de cision that insurance reforms should he inaugurated immediately by state legislatures throughout the country was arrived at by the insurance com missioners of several states who con ferred with the New York legislative committee which investigated the mat ter. Conferences between this com mittee and the state commissioners have covered a peno»l of two day».
