for the purpose of making an appro
priation for Montana's representation
at the Louisiana Purchase and the
.ewls and Clark Expositions, in St.
Louis and Portland, respectively, in
1904 and 1905.
Both houses met in joint session
shortly afer 11 otlock and listened to
the reading of Governor Toole's mes
sage, which stated that there seemed
to be a general demand for a display
of the state's products and resources
at these Expositions, henoe his call
for an extra session.
Before the day was over three bills
had been Introduced and passed ap
propriating $50,000 for St. Louis, $10,-

MANY HOMELESS BY FIRF.
New Hampshire Blaze Causes a Loss
ot $400,000.
Laconla, N. H, May 26. Nearly 100
buildings have been burned, 350 per
sons are homeless and a loss between
$350,000 and $400,000 has been caused
by a fire in the Lakeport section, the
area burned over being about 15
acres. The fire started in a boiler
room of the H. H. Wood hosiery mill.
The flames spread briskly, and in a
very short time, under the influence
of a brisk southeast wind, the entire
structure was burning. . Next it
spread to the finished-lumber plant of
the Boulia & Gorrell Co., and then to
the works of the Laconla Electric
Light Company. In less than an hour
both these plants were destroy
ed. The city fire department was
helpless to stay the progress of the
flames, and destruction went on until
the fire actually burned itself out for
want of material.
SLAVERY IN NEW FORM.
Secret Service Men Find Judges Pro
motlng Peonage In the South.
Washington. May 26. At the re
quest of the Department of justice,
the United States Secret Service has
undertaken an investigation of the
charge of peonage, or holding another
In servitude to work out a debt, which
has been made against persons living
In the vicinity of Montgomery, Ala.
One man, named Robert N. Franklin,
has already been indicted for keeping
a Negro In servitude, and information
In the hands of Chief Winkle tends to
show that a regular system has been
practiced between certain magistrates
and persons who want Negro laborers.
The plan Is to bring a poor Negro
before a magistrate on a flimsy
charge. He Is convicted, and the
white man offer to advance him the
money provided the Negro will make
labor contract with him for a
length of time sufficient to reimburse
him for the money and trouble he has
taken to keep the Negro out of jail.
The Negro is therenpon taken away,
and begins what is frequently a long
term of cruel servitude.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
CONFIDE OF SUCCESS.
Prospectors for Oil Do Not Lose Faith
Because of Reverses..
The Urapaua Valley Oil Company,
of Roseburg, which Las been boring
for oil at Myrtle Creek, has abandoned
the well, after having reached a dis
tance of 1600 feet. Some time ago,
while the boring apparatus was. at
work, the cable parted and let the
drill fall into the well. After, the drill
was removed if was found that the
casing had also been broken and part
of 1 it had fallen into the well. It
was later found mat the well had been
plugged," and In such a manner that
It Is now impohsllfe tttwork it at all.
The company is so confident of find
ing oil that it has again let a contract
to Loyd Smith, a practical well-driller,
who will Immemlately commence op
erations on the new well within 12
feet of the old.
Mr. Smith claims that the indica
tions 'for oil are the best he has yet
seen on this Coast, and Is confident
that oil will be found within 2000 feet.
SEALED BIDS FOR WOOL.
First
Pool Sale This Season Held
at
Arlington Sale Small.
The first wool sale of the season
under the system of sealed bids, in
augurated in this state for the first
time last year, came off in Arlington
last week. It was a sorry disappoint
ment to both seller and buyer. Over
00,000 pounds of wool was offered for
sale, but only about 50,000 pounds was
sold. Prices paid for those sold
ranged from 11 cents to 13 cents.
The offers on the largest and best
clips were all declined because the
uling prices had fallen below the
owners expectations, uissatisiaciion
was expressed by a number of buyers
over the sales made this morning by
the local bank to a buyer on the
ground before the time for the public
sale when all the buyers should ar
rive. This may have had a tendency
to qualify the interest of the buyers
in the other lots listed.
Fruit Trees Feel Frost.
A killing frost blighted the pros
pects for an abundant fruit crop
around Baker City last week. The ex
tent of the damage is not fully de
veloped, but it Is known that all the
early fruit is badly damaged, and In
some localities all the fruit is killed.
So far as known, there has been no
frost in Pine and Eagle valleys, or
down on the Snake river, below Hunt
ington. These psrtions of the county
comprise the principal fruitgrowing
sortlons of the country. Until last
night the prospects were favorable for
the greatest fruit crop ever known In
this, the Powder river valley.
Rainier Is Confident.
The county-seat fight in Columbia
county Is on. The election notice call
ing a special election for July 6 will
be posted In a few days. At present
there are only three candidates for the
honors of . county seat. St. Helens,
which is the eounty seat now. Rain
ier and Clatskanie. A hard fight will
be put up from three points. It Is
generally conceded that Rainier will
be first in the race. Should no point
receive a majority of all votes, a sec
ond election will be held in August,
and the vote will be taken between
the two highest.
Pine Lands Cut Out.
The General Land Office at Wash
ington has received the amended map
filed bv the Oregon Development
Company, showing lands on the Up-
ner Deschutes river in Eastern Ore
gon, which it proposes to reclaim un
der Carey act. On this map, tne com
pany haa eliminated nearly. 15,000
acres that were included in the origin
al selection, this action being taken
because of the report of Special Agent
Green, that much of the original selec
tion was land covered with merchant
able timber.
Damming of the Rogue.
The Golden Drift Mining Company
has resumed with a vim the work of
completing its big power dam across
Roeue river. In the Dry Diggings,
three miles above Grants Pass. The
dam was begun early last year, but
was not completed before the arrival
of the fall rains. The dam, even in
Its uncompleted state, withstood the
very high water and several rresnets
of the Rogue during the winter.
Catherine Creek Claims Taken.
There Is another small rush on In
locating timber in the Catherine creek
district, east of Union. About 20
claims have been located during the
nast ten days and others are investi
gating. Last year many locations
were made, but filings suddenly ceasea
when it was rumored that there had
been frauds In making locations, and
that the government was Investigat
ing the matter.
Chinook and Shad.
The White Island Seining Com-
oanv's grounds, about two miles above
Cathlamet, have begun operations,
and have been catehing about half a
ton of fish per day, which more tnan
pays flenses- "t hair tne tcn 17 . YonDg Alnellc, nQUfa; fact
Is Chinook, the balance being blue- Kaiv.. i' n '
About half the eaten
hrine 5 and 6 cent', the bluebacks. 4
cents, and the steelheads, 3 cents per
pound.
Rich Strike la Oray Eagle.
A narrow streak of fabulously rich
ore has been struck In the Gray Eagle
mine, in the Sparta district. The ore
assays $2000 per ton. A five-foot
ledge assays $15. The property is
owners of the Bonanza.
Irrlgstlonlsts Surprised.
The abandonment of the geml-annu-A
meeting of the State Irrigation As
sociation comes as a surprise to most
of the friends of Irrigation in the
eastern part of the state.
COPPER NEAR ROSEBURd.
Rich Veins of Ore Reported by Prospec
tors Jn Collier Creek Country.
Frank Reed arrived In Roseburg a
few days ago from the Collier Creek
country, In Curry county, where he
and other members of his party have
made a discovery of a very rich cop
per ledge or deposit, on which they
have located 16 mining claims. The
deposit has been traced a distance of
over a mile and a half, and surface in
dications show a wide vein. No as
says have as yet been made on the
discovery, but it is generally believed
that this new find will prove the rich
est yet discovered.
The ledge is about 18 miles south
of Rogue river, and is at present a
very difficult place to reach, as there
is only a trail through that section.
It is expected that operations will
soon commence on the development of
these mines, as Mr. Reed (s a member
of a copper company which was re
cently organized In Roseburg, with
Mr. Fred Blakely at the head. Na
tive copper is abundant throughout
Southern Oregon, but those owning
most of die mines have not sufficient
capital to work them properly.
Oregon Can Grow Flax.
That the Pacific Coast and especial
ly the Willamette valley of the state
of Oregon Is especially adapted to the
culture of flax, and that of the very
finest quality, has been demonstrated
beyond any possibility of a doubt by
Mr. Eugene Bosse, the celebrated Bel
gian flax culturist, who has been con
ducting a scientific course of experi
ments in and around Salem for more
than a year past, and Is now engaged
In raising the second crop for the pur
pose of proving this fact to the en
tire satisfaction of those who are now
backing him financially, and have
shown heretofore a disposition to
doubt the veracity of his broad asser
tions regarding the possibilities of the
flax Industry for Oregon.
Curb on Willamette.
Extensive work Is being done on
tne Willamette river just north of In
dependence, oaptain Ogden states
that work will be continued all of the
summer. The jetty being construct
ed below Independence will Bave to
the land owners over 1000 acres of
land, as the current.' was about to
wash through a number of the best
farms and change the course of the
river for several miles. This jetty
will save this as well as the banks
which the current has been moving
at the rate of about 20 feet a year in
many places.
Headed Toward Burns.
Chief Engineer Joseph West, of the
Su.mpter Valley Railroad, Is in Baker
City prepared to begin the work of
extending the road. The rails and
other 'material for the extension have
begun to arrive and the sawmills are
busy cutting ties for the new road.
Just how far the road will be Built
this season is not stated, but It is cer
tain that it will penetrate some dis
tance into Grant county in the direc
tion of Burns, the county seat of Har
ney county.
Preparing for Dry Summer.
Baker City authorities are pre
paring to supply the city with an
abundance of water, for what prom
ises to be a long, dry summer. The
new reservoir on Goodrich creek,
which was completed last fall, will be
in use this season in addition to the
Eagle creek supply. Several of the
water mains are being replaced with
larger pipe, so that both the supply
of water and the pressure may be
equal to the demand.
Ocologlcal Survey Begins.
Government Engineer Sutton, who
has been getting together his corps of
assistants and outfit in Union for the
past week, has just commenced his
field work of making a complete geo
logical survey of the county in this
section. The work was started in Un
ion and will branch out covering about
1000 square miles, requiring about two
years' work.

establishment of a coaling station at
Dutch Harbor, Alaska, and the erec
tion there of a coal depot with an
initial capacity gf 5,000 tons. The es
timated cost of the-work is about $51,
000. The money is now available. Be
lieving that the establishment of a
coal depot at this strategic point will
strengthen the United States on the
Pacific Coast, the President has hear
tily approved the plan, and prelimin
ary steps In the work have been taken
already. -
Dutch Harbor is located on one of
the Aleutian Islands, and is on the di
rect commercial route between the
ports of Behring Sea and Southern
Alaska and the Pacific Coast of the
United Stated. It is also in the line ef
steamships passing through the Uni
mak, Pass, most of which make Dutch
Harbor a port of call. Its use as a coal
depot site was first recommended by
Rear-Admiral Bradford, Chief of the
Bureau of Equipment. His recom
mendation was referred to the Gen
eral Board, and is now about to be
executed according to his plans.
Dutch Harbor will form the fifth
in the chain of coal depots along the
Pacific Coast, which will begin at San
Diego and include San Francisco, Pu
get Sound and Sitka. Honolulu Is the
sixth tn the chain, and Guam probably
may be added to the list.

UNIONS DON'T UNDERSTAND.
Energy Must Be Properly .Directed If
They Would Live.
Chicago, May 27. Clarence S. Dar-
row, who was chief counsel for the
miners in the recent arbitration grow
ing out of the strike In the anthracite
coal fields, delivered an ' address to
the Henry George Association here
today on the "Perils of Trades Un
ionism." The general tone of his talk
was that "labor unions do not under
stand the principles upon which they
are founded and along which they
must work if they are to continue In
existence." He said In part:
"Men catch trade unionism, specu
lation, combination, as they catch the
measles or the mumps. Capital has
caught the fever of combination until
it has gone mad over corporations and
trusts. Likewise, labor - had caught
the fever of trade unionism and with
out knowing what it means or real
izing how it .may be of real service to
the world, has turned its power and
energy In the direction of building np
organizations.
Unless this force Is turned to po
litical power or substantial methods
for bettering Industrial .conditions then
all this great movement must be for
naught."

WORK OF TORNADO
FIFTEEN PEOPLE IN NEBRASKA LOSE
THEIR LIVES.
Twenty Others More or Less Seriously
Injured Several Towns Visited by
Storm and Every Building In Its Path
Blown to Pieces Heavy Financial
Liss.
Hastings, Neb., May 27. A series of
heavy storms, two of which developed
into the worst tornadoes that have
visited Southern Nebraska for years,
passed over portions of Clay, Franklin
and Kearney counties last evening.
Fifteen persons are known to have lost
their lives. 20 odd were more or less
seriously Injured, and a number of
others received minor Injuries. Every
dweilin- and outbuilding in the oath
of the tornado was blown to pieces,
and the financial loss thus far account
ed will reach about $60,000.

MUST LEAVE FRANK.
Repetition of Recent Accident May Oc-
cur at Any Time.
Ottawa, Ont., May 27. Messrs. R.
W. Brock and R. P. McCormell. the
geologists who were sent to report on ,
the cause of the landslide at Turtle
Mountain, which wined out the town
ot Frank, have submitted a prelimi
nary report to Sir William Mullock.
acting minister of the Interior.
Mr. McConnell estimates that be
tween 60,000,000 and 80,000,000 tons
of rock fell, the debris . of which
covers almost two square mlUa. The
slide is attributed to the steepness of
me mountain and the shattered con-,
dition of the rock. This was due to
"faulting" and crushing of the rock
during the process of mountain build
ing. Heavy rainfalls pouring through
the fissures tended to open them still
further.
The accident was locally hastened
by a creep in the coal mine which
caused a jar. The mountain where
the slip took place Is very badly frac
tured and is now slipping down con
tinuously In small pieces. There is
Janger of another slide, as some of
the fractures extend back 500 or 600
i'eet from the face, and if these were
to open another bulk would come
down?
Mr. McConnell thinks that there will
ilways be more or less risk In living
at Frank and that the people should
move as soon as possible.
