WOOLEN MILLS DESTROYED.
Fire at Oregon City Throws Three Hun
dred Out of Work.
Oregon City, July 15. Fire last
night destroyed property of the Oregon
City manufacturing company valued at
between 175,000 and $100,000. The
loss is covered by insurance. Spontan
eons combustion in a catbonizer in the
pullery building is given as the origin
of the fire, which destroyed the wool
room, dye room and boiler room of the
woolen mills. The company will im
mediately replace the burned buildings,
but the blaze will necessitate suspen
sion of mill operations for at least three
months and the throwing out of em
ployment for that period of about 300
people. .
' The llatnes were discovered issuing
from the roof of the wool house at H
o'clock- but the building was already
doomed, and the adjoining frame
structures were soon ablaze. A general
fire alarm was responded to by the fire
department and citizens, who louhgt
heroically. The main woolen mill
building was on fire several times, but
under the direction o' Fire Chief Ru
conich the structure . was saved, al
though the interior was damaged some
what by water.
Vigorous and timely action alone
saved the property of the Portland
flouring mills company. The large
warehouse of this company wag aflame
a number of times, but by brave work
the building and adjoining mill were
saved. The warehouse of the O. R. &
N. Co. narrowly escaped burning. '
' With a stiff breeze from the noith
east, it In considered reniaikable that
the Portland flouring mills were not
burned. The firemen did most effect
ive work. ,
SIX KOB A CAR.
Oaring Hold-Up In Outskirts of Portland
One Man Wounded.
Portland, July 15. Robbing Fred
Day, whom they mortally wounded
with a needless shot, taking $300 in
money, watches anud jewelry from 40
paisengers on a Sell wood car, then rob
bing a lone pede3trian as they left the
stene, eix desperate highwaymen last
night made their escape and now bid
defiance to the police.
On the crossing of the Southern Paci
So at East Eleventh and Division
streets, but half a mile from the boni-
ness center of East Portland, the hold
up was committed a few minutes before
midnight.
Daring and cold blooded, the high
waymen boarded an out bound car at
11:45, shot Fred Day in the back with
out provecation, and as he fell in their
arms apparently lifeless, held him up
until they could rifle his pockets, then
let him drop in a pool of his own blood
and turned their attention to the rest
of the passengers.
At least 40 people were on the car,
and every passenger was robbed of
money and jewelry. Rings were jerked
violently from women's fingers, and
watches saatched quickly and thrust
into the pockets of the highwaymen.
Nor did this content them. Not
nervous in the least over their bloody :
deed, they stopped in their flight long
enough to hold up and rob O. N. Bitt-
ner on Milwaukte street.
POWER WANINO.
Age
Qradually Saps the Strength of
. Pope Leo.
Rome, July 15. Another remarka
ble rally in Pope Leo's condition oc
curred yes'erday afternoon, after a
morning in the course of which bis hol
iness suffered spells of delirium and at
times his strength sank to the lowest
ebb, and now he lies in no worse con
dition than he was on Monday evening,
extept for the steady diminution of his
strength.
Yesterday's rally was characteristic
ally opposed to every medical theory
and consisted in getting out of bed, on
which two hours previonly the pope
himelf had made all preparations for
death. Unsatisfied with this show of
vitality, he transacted consideraole
business and bad an interview with
four cardinals, with whom he talked in
an anlmiited way.
According to the physicians the pon
tiff may die at any moment, even in
the midtt of one of those extraordi
nary intervals.
Stock Train Fall In River.

Post Dispatch from Poplar Bluff, Mo.,
. . ... . i .1
says: A freight wrecx occurreu on tue
Iron Mountain railroaa today Detween
Rouden and Gurdon, Ark., south of

the track just as the train ran on the
little Mistouri river bridge, with such
force as to wreck the bridge and allow
the 35 cars of stock and men killed to
fall into the stream below, a distance
of 40 feet.
Last Attempt to Reclaim Dead.
Hanna, Wyo., July 18. Preparations

ing the dead bodies of the victims of

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
CLACKAMAS FIFTY YEARS AQO.
Old Records Olve Interesting Figures on
Wages and Agteismcnts. '
In rummaging about his office" a few
days ago County Clerk Sleight un
earthed some official records that con
tain some Interesting statistics with
reference to Clackamas county in the
early "50s. They consist of some statis
tics complied by Joseph T. Meek, who
was then territorial marshal for Clack
amas county in June, 1850. In that
year the assessable value of property
in this county was $1,020,344, classi
fied as follows: Heal estate. 1836
C50; personal. $183,694. The schedule
of wages paid at-lljat time was re
markable. The - average monthly
wage to farm hands, Including board,
was $80; the average wages paid day
laborers with board was $4, with'
out board $6; average Oaily wages
for carpenters, $12; board per week
for laboring men cost $8.
There were published in the county
at that time two weekly papers, name
ly, Oregon Spectator, Territorial; and
Western Star, Multnomah. An idea
of the value and profit in the lumber
business at that early date may be
lathered from the statistics which
show that Benjamin Simpson from
400 logs, for which he paid $3 each,
manufactured 100.000 feet of lumber,
which had a salable value of $75 per
thousand.
COLUMBIA COUNTY FILLINO UP.
Recent County Seat Election Shows Large
Increase of Voters.
The returns from the late special
election indicates that the voting pop
ulation of Columbia county has in
creased several hundred since the gen
eral state election held a little over a
year ago. While it is true that much
of this Increased vote Is due to the
employment of an Increased number
of hands in sawmills and logging
camps, many of them single men, It
also is evident that there is a consid
erable increase in the number of fam
ilies which have become actual res
idents. County School Superintendent Cope
land has received complete returns
from almost every school district In
the county, and now estimates that
there are 250 more children of school
age than were shown by the census of
last year. Reports from every sec
tion of the county Indicate that new
comers from the East are arriving,
and the majority of them expect to
become permanent residents.
Heavy Sales of Live Stock.
The sale of sheep, cattle and horses
from the Orefron ranges this fall will
be the heaviest in years. This Is the
opinion of C. J. Millie, who has charge
of the stock department of the O. R.
& N. He has been over a large por
tion of the ranges and report that
feed will be scarce this fall. Large
shipments of cattle were made from
this district last spring and Mr. Millis
expects that still larger shipments
will be made this fall. He says a
large amount of stock will have to be
sent out of the country In order to
even up for the shortage of the feed
crop. The shortage of feed in some
parts is probably due to a lack of rain.
Wool Prices are Climbing.
Owing to the shortage of wool in
Montana and Utah the prices of wool
In Eastern Oregon will be higher than
had" een anticipated. At the large
sale held at Ontario a short time ago
wool sold at from 13 to 14 cents.
Many did not sell and since that time
some have sold at 15 cents. The
prices are still going up. Some of the
leading sheep and wool men say the
range la exceptionally short this sea
son, as there has been scarcely any
rain since sprinc. Everything is
dried up. There is lots of stock in the
district, and it Is feared by the owners
there will be large losses this year if
a wet season does not start soon.
To Build Big Fish Hatchery. '
Within a few days Fish Warden
Van Dusen will call for bids for the
construction at Ontario on the Snake
river of one of the largest fish hatch
eries in the world. Plans have been
drafted in Portland for the building,
which will be 217x60. It will be equip
ped with all the latest conveniences.
There will be 320 troughs. At first
they , will be conducted so as to care
for 20,000,000 fish, but in case a large
number Is required 40,000,000 eggs
can be hatched without overcrowding.
F. O. Brown wiU be in charge of the in
stitution.
Will Enlarge Baker City Depot, "
Tn rnannnan to the r.rvlrtf needs of
Raker fltv the O. R. A. N. ComoanT
has decided to enlarge and improve
tne passenger and ireignt depot
In that city. Material for the im
nrnvpnienta Is now on the ground
and just as soon as the carpen
ters can be relieved rrom tne
Heppner branch the work will he
commenced. The improvement will
consist In the enlargement of the de
pot building, so as to permit of the
addition of a separate waiting room
for ladiea.
Oreat Booa to Ontario.
The contract for building the new
steel bridge across the Malheur river,
near where It empties Into Snake riv
er, about two mile below Ontario,
has been let The price is $4100.
This bridge will supply a long-felt
need. It gives an opportunity for the
people living on Dead Ox Flat of com
ing to Ontario to do their trading
without going about ten miles above
Ontario to the Halliday bridge.
Surveying Soil of Baker County.
Charles A. Jensen, of the depart
ment of agriculture, bureau of soils,
has been sent out to make a survey of
the soils of Baker county. He has es
tablished his headquarters at Hainea,
and is now actiely engaged in the
work. It is thought this is one of the
preliminary steps to government-aided
irrigation.
LOO BOOM ON NORTH UMPQUA.
Franchise Qranted for Extensive Im
provements by County Court.
One of the most Important steps
made in the development of the lum
bering Industry In 'Douglas county
was taken when the county court
voted to grant a franchise to the Ore
gon Boom ft Timber Company for
cleaning out the obstructions in the
North Umpqua river and preparing
that stream for the floating of logs
and timber. This franchise gives the
company the right to use that stream
in the manner mentioned from the
west boundary line of the Cascade for
est reserve to the main line of the
Southern Pacific railroad at Winches
ter.flve miles north of Roseburg. After
the improvements are made the com
pany tn given the right to collect a
maximum toll of 50 cents per thousand
feet for floating logs for other persons
In compensation for the outlay In im
proving the stream. The estimated
cost of the Improvements Is $200,000.
besides improving the stream, the
company expects to erect a sawmill
of 100,000 feet daily capacity at Win
chester, to be ready for use as soon
as logs can be floated, and other par
ties also expect to erect sawmills and
woodworking plants at the same
place. New York capitalists are back
ing the enterprise, their representa-
tlve, F. J. Blakely, having been here
most of the time for the past two
years. ... - ,
PUBLIC LAND STILL OPEN.
Nearly 600,000 Acres Remain In Oregon
City District.
The annual report of the United
State j land office at Oregon City has
been completed. Fourteen counties
are embraced in the Oregon City dis
trict and the report gives the follow
ing statistics as to area in acres un

Surveyed, 455.048; unsurveyed. 141.-
ou; total, 596,738 as against 637.279
lurveyed; 161,190 unsurveyed; 898,469
total, as shown in the report a year
iKO. The 14 counties constituting the
Oregon City land district are: Ben
ton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia,
Crook, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Mult-
lomah, Poik, Tillamook, Wasco, Yam

is 7,468.250 acres. The area 4n acres
appropriated last year was 5,675,115,
while the acreage under the same

Map of State Institutions.
Secretary of State Dunbar Is hav
ing a map mde showing the location
of the state Institutions at Salem.
Blue prints of the map will be
kept at each of the institutions and
the original will be kept In the Secre
tary's office. Although located "at
Salem," the institutions are a long
distance apart. Visitors can get but
vague Idea of their location by such
directions as are usually given, but
by referring to the .map, which shows
all the roads and distances, a stranger
would immediately understand the di
rection to take in going to any one of
the institutions.
Union County Cherry Crop.
The cherry crop is lust coming on
in Union county. There were reports
early in the season that this crop
would be very short, but, as with the
other products of this county, the
prospects get brighter as harvest
time approaches. The indications
now are that the yield will not be far
below the average. There will prob
ably be about 15,000 boxes of the fruit
handled there this season.
Outlook for County Seat Fight.
County Judge J. B. Doan, whose
home la at Rainier, says that St. Hel
ens will have to receive over 1000 votes
at. the second special election on the
first Monday in August to retain thf
county seat, as it is evident that 2000
votes Will be polled as the outcome of
the present contest Judge Doan also
expresses the opinion that Marsh
land and Oak Point preeincts. which
gave a part of their vote to Clatska-
nie, at the first special election, will go
solid for Rainier

PAYNB WANTS TO RETIRE.
Postmaster Qeneral Will Not Go Until He
Can Quit With Honor.
Washington, July 14. Postmaster
General Payne said today that at the
end of the investigation in his depart
ment was In sight, and he added he
was glad vt it.- i here is every indica
tion that Payne desires to retire from
the cabinet, and it will not be surpris
ing 11 ne aoes so during tne coming
winter, provided the affairs of the post
office department are straightened out
by that time.
Mr. Payne is in very bad health, and
his condition today is regarded as far
more serious than it was four months

SMUQQLERS IN SILK.
Captain Harris, United States Engineer,
Caught by Customs Officers.
San Francisco, July 14.- Another
sensational seizure of contraband goods
was made today by the custom officers
of this port. This time it is an officer
of the United States engineer corps
who has been caught in the meshes of
the law. Captain Wiiliam II. Harts,
who has been on duty in the Philip
pines in the engineer service of the
army for several years, returned to the
continent yesterday on the transport
Thomas. He was accompanied by his
wife. When he came off the vessel he
was asked if he bad any dutiable arti
cles in bis baggage, and ne replied that
he had none. He was the last of the
travelers to be examined, and the offi
cers had to send for him several times
before he answered the summons. His
manner, when he did come, and his ev
ident reluctance to make a declaration,
caused suspicion, and today an especial
ly critical examination of his baggage
was made. It was found that he bad
about a dozen trunks and that in these,
wrapped in skirts and other articles of
apparel, were large numbers of bolts of
silk, quantities of embroidery, drawn
work and costly Japanese ware. A
valuation of $500 was placed on the
smuggled articles. Under the law the
goods will be confiscated and Captain
Harts will be li ble to a fine of three
times their value. It will' probably
cost him several thousand dollars to get
outo f the scrape.

night. He slept at intervals, but not
entirely tranquil, ,

talking with Governor Durbin over the
telephone this afternoon, Brigadier
General McKee tonight ordered all
troops removed from Evansville. The
city will be left in charge of the police
department, which is armed with
rifles. There were seven funerals to

The ministers in one or two cases
prayed for the city and county admin
istrations and said this was not a time
for criticism, but for sympathy for the
Iriends of the dead.

nancial and operating improvement.

ernment will give the new owners a

THE POPE IS WORSE
END
SEEMS NEARER NOW
EVER BEFORE.
THAN
Suffers a Second Relapse- Allnd Is Fast
Becoming Confuted- Stimulants Keep
Life Up-Too Weak to Speak Longer
-Pontiff Shows His Weakness by
Docility to Doctors.
Rome, Jluy 14, 2:1 A. M. "While
there is life there it hope," was all the
consolation that Dr. Lapponi would
give tonight in admitting that Pope
Leo's condition was very grave. The
pontiff has suffered another relapse,
and he lies this morning n a more crit
ical condition than at. any time sin.e
the middle of last week. The semi
comatose condition into wlikh he fell
at midnight, and the confused state of
his heretofore lucid mind on his awak
ening at an early hour this morning,
accompanied by still greater depression
than during yesterday, are regarded as
symptoms of the grave t nature and as
pointing to an imminent dissolution.
Even in the early evenine medical
opinion was less pessimistic, and Dr.
fuazzoni thought the end was not w th
in sight. He expressed the belief that
unless the disease took an unexpected
tarn there was no reason to apprehend
death for two or three days. This
statement, however, did not relieve the
anxiety of those who know what pow
erful stimulants are beirg constantly
administered. Borne attribute the
pontiff's exti erne weakness tonight to
the excessive mental and physical
efforts undertaken yesterday in receiv
ing visitors, hearing mass, etc.
.Never before has the patient's weat-
ness progressed as it did yesterday.
For the first time since his illness, the
pontiff asked to have the emitters al
most closed, ub the light hurt his eves.
and at the same time, contrary to his
ustom, he begged to be left as quiet
ss possible.
Another noteworthy svmptom of his
weakening condition was the docility
with which he took his medicine and
nourishment. Previously, indeed, dur-
ng his whole life, Pope Leo has been
against the prescriptions of doctors or
anything that had the aspect of being
forced upon him. His feelina of fa
tigue and indifference was interpreted
as a sign that his vitality sas fast di
minishing. Late last evening nine car
dinals, including Satolli and Marten
elli, were admitted to the sick room,
but the pope could .not even speak to
them, merely giving them his hand to
kits.
NATIONAL FRIENDSHIP FOSTERED.
Britain Believe II Scored a Triumph on
the Visit of Loubet.
New York, July 15. Kine Edward's
visits to Portugal, Italy and France;
President Loubet's reception in London
and the toasts and sentiments ex
changed with the officers of the Ameri
can squadron force upon German poli
ticians certain facts sometimes studi
ously ignored, says a Berlin dispatch to
the limes by way of London. The
leading part played by King Edward in
developing British foreign relations is
becoming generally recognized. More
over the popularity of the British gov
ernment's foreign policy is beginning
to oe appreciated.
Attempts to make out that the .
whole British nation, including the
parliamentary opposition, does not
stand behind the government with its
friendship for America, France and
Italy and its alliances with Portugal
and Japan, become daily more feeble
and intermittent. The friendship of
these nations which on both sides of
the Atlantic stand for progress in lib
erty's paths is recognized to be a sort of
Gulf etr. am, encircling and warming
the world and bearing everywhere, by
the happiest coincidences, the surest
guarantee of freedom in the invincible
and unapproachable naval power of the
co-operating empires and states.
Falls to Find KldJ's Gold.
New York, July 15. Another
search for Captain Kidd's treasure has
come to naught, and all there is to
show for it is a big hole in the cellar
of a storehouse connected with a big
coffee mill in Brooklyn. The manager
of the plant has stopped the treasure
search, in spite of the fact that Henry
Endum is positive that the "spirits"
whirh caused the search were playing
no idle joke .when they transmitted to
him the information that Captain Kidd
had deposited $50 000,000 worth of
loot in the ground there.
Few Favor the Treaty.
New York, July 15. A rough can
vaas of the Colombian senate seems to
show that only one-fourth of tin mem
bers are favorable to the Hsy-Herran
canal treaty without amendments, says
a Herald's dispatch from Bogota. The
Colombian government has not official
ly asMimed responsibility for the trea
ty. Dr. Rico, the minister of foreign
affairs has rent a mepsage to congress
on the treaty following the same lines
as that sent to the United Statea senate.
Czar Says to Go.
8t. Petersburg, July 15. According
to the newspsper Novikrst, published
at Port Arthur, Russia has informed
China that she is compelled to ex
clude foreigners from Manchuria, and
postpone the opening of Manchurian
ports, owing to the presence of
Englishmen and Americans, who, in
disguise, are engaged in espionage.
Russia, according to the paper, prom
is to open the ports six years hence,
when the country has been tranquilized
and settled.
