LOOK TO OREQON.
View of Engineers on The Dalles-Celilo
Canal Right of "Way.
Washington, Dec. 1. Engineer offi
cers in Washington are inclined to be
lieve The Dalles-Celilo canal situation
is very much simplified by the fact that
there is to be an extra session of the
Oregon legislature. These officers say
such a session presents an opportunity
for an early and a thoroughly eatisfact
ory solution of the problem raised by
the recent restrictive order of the secre
tary of war, who demands that right
of way for the canal shall cost the gov
ernment nothing.
It is the opinion of the engineers
that the legislature should make an
ample appropriation to purchase the
, . the 8Ut4S t , .
needed ,and8 but cheaper htLTl
could the general government, should
it resort to condemnation proceedings.
Among engineer officers who are
known to be friendly to The Dalles-Celilo
canal project, three is a hope that
it may not be necessary to go to con
gress to ask for a further appropriation
for purchasing this right of way. They
fear if congress is asked to increase the
limit of cost of this work beyond the
figure set by the last congress unfavor
able action on the entire project may
be taken, which will delay construc
tion indefinitely. They therefore be
lieve that it is better that the state
shall acquire the right of way under an
appropriation of its legislature, and
present the land to the general govern
ment, as was contemplated by the sec
retary of war.
If the legislature will make such an
appropriation as was suggested, there
will be no necessity for congress to give
further consideration to The Dalles-Ce
lilo projf cl, except to make annual ap
propriation for carrying out the work
which has heretofore been authorized,
and for the commencement of which
there is now over $300,000 available.
' CANAL AS A Ql FT.
Colombia Is Prepared to Make This Offer
to the United States.
Washington, Dec. 1. That the re
public grant io the United States all
the canal concessions provided for in
the Hay-Herran treaty, but absolutely
free of cost, is the proposition which
General Rafael Reyes brings for the
consideration of the officials of Wash
ington. General Reyes arrived here
today. He was met at the station by a
son of Vt. JHerran, the Colombian
charge, and went at once to his hotel.
Later in the day he had a conference
with Dr. Herran. General Reyes, talk
ing with a representative of the Asso
ciated Press about his mission, said:
"You will readily admit the proprie
ty of my refraining from discussing my
mission, which is of a confidential
character. Of the offers which Colom
bia is ready to maice, i aesire to say
my energies and those of my followers
will be devoted to the granting of the
canal concessions to the United States
without the payment of a cent. Even
at this Colombia will be the gainer."
"Are you authorized by President
Marroquin to make this offer to the
United States government?" General
Reyes was asekd.
'That would be dviulging my in
structions before I have executed them.
I cannot say more about this now," he
replied.
VOTE TO END STRIKE.
Northern Colorado Miners Accept Terms
of Operators.
Louisville, Colo., Dec. 1. The min
ers of the Northern Colorado coal fields
tonight voted to return to work on the
termn granted by the operators, which
embrace compliance with every demand
made by the unions. This is the third
vote taken on the proposition. The
first vote rejected the proposition by a
majority of four. The second vote was
heavily against it on account of the op
position of District President Howells
and "Mother" Jones although represen
tatives of President Mitchell urged the
acceptance of the proposition.
Today, it is said, telegrams were re
ceived from President Howells with'
drawing his opposition and the men
voted strongly in favor of resuming
work. The mines have all been kept
in good condition and work will be
started at once. It is estimated that
1,270 men will go to work.
Internal Revenue Receipts.
Washington, Dec. 1. John W
Yerkes, commissioner of internal reve
nue, in his annual report to the secre
tary of the treasury, shows the total
receipts of his bureau for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1903, were $230,-
740,927. The receipts for the last fiS'
cal vear are about $41,000,000 less
than for the year 1902. "This de
crease," says the commsisioner, "is not
due to a diminution in the business
movements and commercial transac
tions of the country, but to a reduction
of internal revenue taxation."
Urges France to Build Canal.
Paris, Dec. 1. Republic of Colom
bia is endeavoring to induce France to
renew work upon the construction of
the Panama canal. Colombian Finan
cial Agent Samper, who is also a spec
ial delegate to the administrative coun
cil, is now in Panama. The French
canal company has published a state
ment in which it declares the offer of
the United States is ridiculous and
places a high value upon the company's
property and concessions.
Marine Ouard la Withdrawn.
Washington, Dec. 1. Commander
Mertz, of the gunboat Newport, has re
ported to the navy department that
Santo Domingo is quiet, and the marine
guard has been withdrawn from the
city so recently surrendered to
Domlncian insurgents,

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
STATB WILL LOSB HEAVILY.
If Rejection of Claim to Swamp Land
Is Affirmed.
Salem The rejection of the claim of
the state of Oregon to 55,000 acres of
the swamp land in Klama'h marsh
will, if affirmed by the acerctary of the
interior, cut a big slice off the sum the
state hoped to realise from the sale of
this land. The state's cltim was tor
100,000 acres, and of this all but about
7,000 acres had been declared by the
surveyor-general to be swamp land.
The state's claim was based upon the
swamp land grant of 1860. The Klam
ath Indian reservation was created in
1S64 and the alottments to the Indians
were made within the last ten years.
The 55,000 acres probably comprises
the best of the swamp lands and if the
title of the Indians should be finally
confirmed, the remaining 38,000 acres
which the state would receive, would
be rendered practically worthless.
Whether an appeal will be taken to
the secretary of the interior has not
been determined. General W. II. Odell
was attorney for the state in the pre
sentation of the state's claim to this
land. He does not knew the grounds
upon which the decision of the assist
ant commissioner of the general land
office was based, but is very firmly of
the opinion that the state's right to the
land is superior to that of the Indians.
The value of the swamp lands on
Klamath marsh has been estimated all
the way from $100,000 to $1,000,000.
Begin Work oa the Ditch.
EchoThe Butter creek irrigation
company has begun active work on the
construction of an irrigation ditch to be
20 miles long, beginning a short dis
tance below Echo. Harry Rogers, an
extensive cattle man and wheat grower
who resides on Butter creek, was elect
ed president of the company and will
take personal charge of the work. Tha
company has large tents for the housing
of employes and teams. There are
nearly 50 teams at work with nearly
twice as many men. Water will make
this land very valuable.
Lirlof Is expensive.
Pendleton Living in Pendleton is
unusually high at present. Packed
eggs are selling at 40 cents per dozen.
With those prices It is seldom tnat a
dozen eggs are bought at a time. They
are handed out like oranges which are
sold at 5 cents each. Butter is selling
at 40 cents per pound roll, having ad
vanced recently from 30 cents. Al
though this is near the great Milton
fruit belt, some apples are selling at
five pounds for 25 cents.
Logging Camps Close Down.
Astoria The Pelton-Armstrong com
pany closed down its logging camps on
the Elokomin river, near Cathlamet,
for the season. Benson has shut down
nearly all his camps, but has one at
Bunker Hill still in operation. Besides
that one the only camps on the north
shore of the Columbia river that are
running are those of the Skamokawa
logging company and the Saldren camp,
on Grays river. j 7
Re-Elected State Veterinary Surgeon.
Salem Dr. William McLean, of
Portland, has been re-elected state vet
erinary surgeon for a period of two
years from July 1903. The power to
fill this position rests with the Domestic
Animal commission, comp ed of the
governor, secretary of state and presi
dent of the state board of agriculture.
The salary is $1,500 per year and neces
sary expenses.
Snew Discourages Stockmen.
Heppner The first general snowfall
of the season in Morrow county oc
curred last Saturday, and the ground
is covered to a depth of from one inch
on the low lands to 30 inches on the
foothills and mountains. The unus
ually early appearance of snow on
frozen ground causes rather a depressed
feeling among stockmen.
Reduction of Wages.
Eugene The employes of the Booth
Kelly company have been notified of a
new schedule of wagea which will go
into effect December 1. The schedule
makes a reduction of 25 cents per day

NECESSARY MONEY PUT UP.
Financial
Troubles of Oregon Electric
Company Are Over.
Baker City The Oregon electric
company, which baa been in financial
trouble, will resume operations at once.
The Eastern capitalists who are back of
the enterprise have put up the neces
sary cash to discharge all the debts ami
dismiss the attachments suits which
have been filed by creditors. T'ae
niouey for this purpose has been re
ceived by Olmstead & stayer, the cor
poration attorneys.
This company was organized uy A.
B. Frame, of Portland, who secured
valuable water rights on Eagle creek.
Considerable work was done last sum
mer, but early in the fall there was
trouble over financial matters, and
Frame resigned as general manager.
Since then creditors have attached the
lumber, flumes and other property and
all work ceased. Several hundred
thousand feet of lumber had been de
livered along the line of the flume and
work on the power house was under
way when the work ceased.
II. H. Andrews one of the officers of
the company, who represents the East
ern capitalists, is expected in a few
days, when operations will be resumed.
Articles of Incorporation.
Salem Articles of incorporation
have been filed in the office of Secre
tary of State Dunbar aa follows:
Oregon Traction company, Portland,
$1,000,000. The object of this corpor
ation is to acquire rights of way and
construct a railway from Portland to
Hulsboro and Forest Grove.
Hotel Monopole, Incorporated, Jor
dan Valley, $15,000.
Western Oregon Conference associa
tion of seventh day adventista, Salem,
Or., $10,000.
Brewer Drug company, Stayton, $10,
000.
Land Sells at $120 per Acre.
Milton The high value at which ir
rigated land of this district is held is
shown by a deal just closed. Alfred B
Duff and John Hunter have sold to A,
ruiier a lu acre garden, located six
miles north of here, for $1,200. Mr
Fuller gets full use of the irrigation
ditch which runs by the property, but
only under the agreement that Mr.
Fuller does his part in maintaining the
ditch. Whenever a deal is made in
this district it is practically the water
which is sold, as the land is worthless
without a proper supply of water.
Orande Rondo la Inspected.
La Grande Men will be sent here
in a few days by John Whistler of Pen
dleton, United States engineer, who
has been in Eastern Oregon gathering
data for the government for irrigation
works. These men will establish
gauges and points for observation on
Grand Ronde river for the purpose of
scientifically determining the amount
of water flowing down the river, the
velocity of the current, etc., and the
area that can be irrigated.

Arias and Manuel Esplnoza, held a
meeting this morning, all the tnlnistera
of state and councillors being present,
and unanimously decided to ratify the

here and authorise Miniater Buna-Va-rllla
officially to transmit the Junta's
declaion to the United States govern
ment.
The decision of the junta was re
ceived with joy throughout the isth
mus, without distinction of partiea or
classes.
Rear Admirals Walker and Glass
have been informed of the action taken
by the junta.
Minister Confirms It.
Washington, Nov. 28. Official con
firmation of the determination of the
Panama government to ratify the Hay-Buna-
Varilla Panama treaty, sa told in
the press dispatches, was received by
Minister Varilla at 3:30 o'clock today.
The state department being closed to

news informally to Mr. Lommis, who

Mr. Hay.
ARQUMENT FOR STATEHOOD.
fJovernor of New Mexico Shows Terri
tory la Rapidly Ad vane lag.
Washington, Nov. 28. The annual
report of Governor Otero of New Mexi
co makes a plea for the admission of
the territory to statehood. The report
says that during the past year the
building of railroads continued with
unabated vigor, and capital made ex
tensive investments. The finances of
the territory are in excellent condition,
and so are those of the counties and
cities, with a few exceptions, caused
by loose methods, and the result of
which methods the counties are mak
ing every effort to overcome.
The territory, as well as moat of the
counties, is reducing ita indebtedness,
while several counties are refunding
their indebtedness at a reduced rate of
interest. The assessed valuation of
New Mexico shows an increase of about
$1,000,000 over that of the preceding
year, but as the average assessment
rate is only about 20 per cent of the
real value, the actual increase of tax
able valuation, owing to the elimina
tion of double assessments reported in
former years, is almost $3,000,000.
The collections for the past six months
by the territory exceeded that of the
same period of previous years by about
$50,000.
INFERNAL MACHINBS IN MINES.
Colorado Troops Discover Plot to Wreck
Five Plants.
Denver, Nov. 27. A special to the
Rocky Mountain News from Cripple
Creek says the coroner's inquest in the
case of the two men killed by the ex
plosion in the Vindicator mine was be
gun today. Tho evidence produced
demonstrated conclusively that the ex
plosion was the result of a plot to blow
up the mine, but nothing of a definite
character developed to indicate the
guilty persons.
At 5:30 o'clock the inquest was ad
journed until 2 o'clock tomorrow after
noon.
This afternoon Adjutant-General Bell
stated that a large amount of evidence
had been secured for the trial of the
men suspected ot tne outrage. The
general also stated that infernal ma
chines ready to be exploded had been
found in two other mines, and that
there was positive evidence that the
plot included five mines in all.
Would Reduce Honolulu Forces.
Honolulu, Nov. 28. Major General
MacArthur, who has arrived here to
study the military situation in the Ha
waiian islands, says that the main fea
ture of the defenses of the territory is
the protection of t,he naval station at
Pearl Hamor. He advocates a reduc
tion of the forces at Honolulu, and de
clares that the occupation of tho other
islands is not as important a matter
from a military standpoint, while Pearl
Harbor is maintained as a strong de
fensive position. The general has not
completed his task.
Big Construction Concern Tied Up.
San Juan, Nov. 28. It was an
nounced today that the San Juan office
of the Vandergrift construction com
pany, interested in a $3,000,000 trolley
scheme, has been closed for nonpay
ment of rent, and owing to attachments
for salaries in behalf of many employes
and creditors. The explanation given
for the closing is the recent stringency
in money in tho United States, which
prevented the company from floating
its bonds.
Offer China Troops.
London, Nov. 28. The Shanghai
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
cables that the viceroys and governors
of 13 provinces outside of Chi Li have
offered the Chinese throne 90,000 for.

LICE MUCH TROUBLE.
Remarkable Career of
Upon by Beardless
Many Murders In
Robbed Street Car
Laat August.
Crime Embarked
Youths 'Who Do
a Few Months
Darns of $2,280
Chicago, Nov. 30. Chained wrist to
wrist, their hair matted with dried
blood, their clothing covered with dust
and dirt, two beardless boys, Peter Nel
dermyer and Harvey Vandinc, ant to
night iu the presence of Mayor Harri
son and Chief of Police O'Neil, calmly
confessing their share in a three
months' career of crime, which has in
cluded eight murders, the wounding of.
five other men, and a long series of rob
beries. The two young bandits, neith
er of whom is over 21 years old, to
gether with their companion, Eiuil
KcK'ski, who is no older, were captured
near Liverpool, Imi,, today, after a.
fight in which tluy battled against
policemen, railroad detectives, railroad
laborers add fanners. One tnun wa.
killed, another fatally wounded, and
ali three of the young bandits were
wounded, but not seriously,
The three were wantad by the police
for complicity in the murders at the
car barns of the Chicago City railway
company last August, when two men
were killed, a third badly wounded,
and $2,250 stolen from the company.
Gustav Marx, who last week mur
dered Officer John Quinn when the
policeman endeavored to pluce him
under arrest, confessed that he, in com
pany with the three suspects, had com
mitted the Crimea at the car barns.
The hunt for Yandine, Neiderinyer and
Koeski has been hot ever since.
Although they knew that the entire
police force was looking for them, they
remained in the city until Wednesday
morning. On Wednesday they left
Chicago, going to a dugout made by
railroad laborers near the tracks of th
Michigan Central railroad, near Mill
ers, imi. last ntgtit was spent In (an
other dugout near Millers Station,
Ind., and there they were surprised by
eight Chicago policemen this morning,
and in the battle which followed two
officers were shot. The officers were
joined by a large number of farmer,
and other detectives and the bandits
left the dugout, keeping up a running
fire. They ran to the mil road track
where a train was standing. They
killed a brakeman ami compiled the
engineer to carry them away. Two-
miles from there they left the train and
tried to hide, but were tracked in the
newly fallen enow. The officers and
others in pursuit, now numbering over
a hundred, had them completely sur
rounded and as they were in an ex
hausted condition, surrendered and
were brought to this city.
WHO IS BACKINQ IT?
Oregon-Idaho Railroad Causes Much
Speculation as to Ownership.
New York, Nov. 30. Considerable
interest attaches to the building of
a more or less mysterious railroad
north from Huntington to Lewieton,.
Idaho, the finuncing for which is said
to have lfn completed. The New
York securities and trust company is to.
be the trustee of a first mortgage to an
amount not exceeding $4,000,000,
which will supply the funds for build
ing the 180 miles in question.
The lino as projected will connect
the Northern Pacific at Lewiston, with
the Oregon Short Line and Oregon
Railroad & Navigation attheir junction
point, Huntington, Or. The new line
runs directly north and south, appar
ently following the Snake river valley,
and touching a rich mineral and lum
ber territory.
The new road Is apparently part
of a rather ambitious project to build a
semicirle of railroad, touching Wen
atchee on the north and some point in
Northern California on the south. It
does not appear that in either direction
it will serve as part of a new East and
west trunk line. It is rather a feeder
to the Southern Pacific on the south,
Union Pacific in the center and North
ern Pacific at the north.
Indian Outlaws Captured.
Butte, Mont., Nov. 30. A Miner
special from Plains, Mont., says that a
command of 60 soldiers yesterday after
noon captured Joe Morriiroau. who.
with a band of Nez Perces Indians, was
defying the government agenja in the
collection of taxes on cattle, of whirl.
Morrlgeau owns a large number.
Trouble was anticipiated, but the In
dian offered no resistance and
mitted himself to Iks placed under ar
rest. Unless Morrigeau pays taxes at
once, it is understood he will bo ex
pelled from the Flathead reservation.
Russian Sincerity Doubted.
Kishineff, Russia, Nov, 80. It be
comes more and more apparent in tho
trial of the persons accused of being in
volved in tho massacre of the Jews here
last summer progresses that the govern
ment is not sincere in its desire to pun
ish those implicated. None of the
officials of the city or district ha yet
been placed on trial, nor are they likely
to be. In fact, many are out of tho
district, and are not expected to return
before January 2.
