RIVAL, TO BIQ TRUST.
Cattlemen Will Establish a Large Pack
ing Plant at Kansas City.
Kanss City, Mo., Sept. 3. Twenty-
five stockmen from different parts of
the Western grass country met in this
city today and arranged to perfect the
organization of a packing company to
compete with the alleged packers' trust
The new company was named the Inde
pendent packing company. Articles
of incorporation will be drawn up to
morrow and signed at a meeting to be
held tomorrow afternoon. The com
pany will have a capital stock of f 5,
000 .000, and will be incorporated under
the laws of Arizona. Of the total cap
italization, 51 per cent will be so dis
posed of as to be held in oscrow by
the board of directors of the company.
This will assure stockmen who will in
terest themselves in the plan that the
company will always be controlled oy
stock interests. The rest of the stock
will be sold to stockmen, if possible,
although no purchaser will be barred.
The division of stock, as decided
upon today, was made to prevent any
possibility of the alleged packers' trust
gaining control of the new independent
company. Two million of the stock
will be issued at first. The rest will
be put out later. Formerly it was the
plan to include the United States pack
ing comapny, of Pueblo, Colo., in the
scheme. Now it is predicted on good
authority that the Pueblo plant will
never be built, but that its capitaliza
tion of more than $1,500,000 will either
be transferred to the Independent pack
ing company or be allowed to revert
back to the stockmen who subscribed it.
Charles F. Martin, secretary of the
National livestock association, who was
one of the promoters of the United
States packing company and a stock
holder, is in Kansas City promoting
the organiaztion of the Independent
packing company. The Independent
packing company will build one plant
in the Missouri valley, but the exact
location has not yet been decided upon.
It is to be in operation in the fall of
next year. Another plant will be built
later, probably in Texas.
WAR IS COURTED.
Macedonians Proclaim an Uprising-
Leader Head Outbreak.
Sofia,' Sept. 3. The Macedonian rev
olutionists awaited the anniversary of
the sultan's accession to proclaim the
long anticipated general insurrection in
Northern Macedonia, the proclamation
of which was issued today, signed bj
all the membera of the insurgent gen
eral staff. The new outbpreak is head
ed by the famous Macedonian leaders,
General Zuntcheff, president of the
Macedonian committee and Colonel
Jankhoff, who was wounded in the ris
ing of 1902.
The new territory covers the districts
in the valley of the Struma, at the base
of the Rhodope mountain chain and to
the north of the Nardar river. Colonel
Jankoff is directing the movements of
the bands in the southern part.
It is reported that Hilmi Pasha, the
inspector general for Macedonia, re
fuses to leave his headquarters in the
Konakat Monastir. The insurgent
leader, Grueff, in a letter to Helmi
Pasha, demanded that he prevent the
barbarous acts of the Turkish soldiers
and Bashi Bazouks, otherwise the revo
lutionists would massacre all the Turk
ish inhabitants.
TEN THOUSAND FOR SHOW.
Multnomah Boys Spending Thlr Sum on
Portland's Big Fall Carnival.
Ten thousand dollars is the sum be
ing expended by the Multnomah ath
letic club on Portland's big fall carni
val, September 14 to 26 inclusive and
it is safe to say that the biggest and
beat show of the kind ever seen on the
Pacific coast will be that in September.
The giants from the athletic field will
be there and lovers of athletic events
will have an opportunity to see the big
fellows contest for prizes. Low rates
have been granted by the railroads and
the attendance no doubt will be very
large. The boys have decided to make
every day a special day and this will
be something of an innovation in the
way of a carnival.
Fair Exhibit Takes Form.
Berlin, Sept. 3. Germany' exhibit
at the St. Louis exposition is taking
form. Some shipments have already
been made, and it is possible to fore
cast the whole with tolerable accuracy.
The collective exhibits of porcelain,
bronzes, textiles, foods, toys, leather-
work, intemr decorations and 20 more
specialties will be complete and will
represent the best that Germany can
do. The government exhibits, snch as
transportation, education and art, will
be the finest ever sent out of the coun
try. Forty Hurt In Wreck.
Hastings, Ia., Sept. 3. Passenger
train No. 3 on the Burlington as
wrecked here tonight in head-on col
lision with a freight engine and thre
cars. According to statement of pas
sengers, the train was running about 10
miles an hour when the collision took
place. The passengers were thrown
from their seats and about 40 were in
lured more or less sever ly, but none,
so far as reported, sustained serious in
juries.
Why Canatl Treaty Was Rejected.
New York, Sept. 3. Dispatches from
a Bogota correspondent assert, says
Panama dispatch to the Herald, that
the Panama canal treaty was rejected
by the senate because of the impera
tive nature of the note received from
Secretary of the State Hay and United
State Minister Be a pre. These
not, the correspondent declare, were
regarded a offensive.
HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
IRRIQATION CONGRESS PRIZES.
Silver Loving Cups (or Agricultural
Exhibit.
Governor Chamberlain is in receipt
of a letter from Chairman Fred J
Kelsel, of the executive committee of
the National Irrigation congress, call
ing attention to the four $500 prizes
to be awarded at the session of the
congress in September. The prizes
are silver loving cups, one for the
best exhibit of hops, one for the best
showing of barley, one for the finest
display of varied fresh fruits, and
one for the best showing of sugar
beets, with the highf-st percentage of
fiugar. The cup to oe given for the
best display of fruit is described as
being 23 Inches in height and weighs
270 ounces. It Is of silver and repre
sents the Goddess Pomona distribut
ing the kindly fruits of the earth.
The letter urges Governor Chamber
lain to be present, if possible, and to
see that Oregon is fittingly represent
ed, as the subjects discussed will be of
great importance to this state. It will
probobly not be convenient for Gov-
enor Chamberlain to go to Ogden to
attend the Congress, which meets
September 15.

A nnmher nf residents of Warner

Bid PLANT AT COTTAQB DROVE.
To Work the Largest Cinnabar Deposit
In America.
A 300-ton quicksilver plant Is going
up on the Black Butte mines near Cot
tage Grove, in which G. B. Dennis, of
Spokane, is interested.
"Four years of uninterrupted devel
opment, said Mr. Dennis," has ex
posed the most expansive imbedding
of clnnibar ore on the American con
tinent if not ln the world. The work
represents an expenditure of nearly
$500,000.
"The Black Butte quicksilver mines
are located in Lane county, some 18
miles from Cottage Grove. During the
four years 12,000 feet of work has been
done, which includes a vertical shaft
to the 1000-foot level. At each 100-foot
station a drift running on the foot wall
has been driven either Bide of the shaft
the full length of the pay shoot. 227
feet, and at each level the ledge has
been crosscut for Its full width of 80
feet.
'The average of the ore Is about 16
In quicksilver or $10 it ton, and there
Is now blocked out more than $2,000.-
000 in quicksilver. The present 40
ton smelting or distilling plant Is be
ing enlarged to a 300-ton capacity and
the mine equipped with a complete
electrical waterpower plant, furnish
ing power and light, which places the
property in position for working upon
a very large scale."
Brick Supply Equals Demand.
The force of workmen has complet
ed the burning of a kiln of 300.0BO
bricks, and now the supply of material
is sufficient to keep construction work
In progress at the penitentiary, reform
school and aslyum. At each of these
places the new buildings and addi
tions are under construction. Super
intendent James says that although the
contract for the construction of an ex
ecution chamber at the prison does not
require its completion before January
1, the building will be ready for use
before that time, and, so far as he can
see now, It will be ready before the
date jof any hanging now in prospect.
Horfd River Apples Contracted.
Joseph A.' Wilson, manager of the
Hood River Applegrowers' Union, has
lust consummated a $20,000 apple sale.
The Davidson fruit company, of Hood
River, Is the purchaser, and has de
posited $1000 to bind the sale. The
price for fancy four-tier Spltzensbergs
Is $2 a box; yellow Newtons, $1.80, the
apples to be delivered at railway at
picking time. Before the recent or
ganization of the union, buyers were
paying $1.45 a box for Spitzenbergs.
This is the largest fruit sale ever" .made
ln Hood River. - .
Much Building at Ashland.
It is estimated that the value of
building improvements just completed,
or now under way, in Ashland will
reach $50,000, and the high tide of
building activity in that city for the
oast two or three years promises to
be equaled before the close of the pres
ent season. A number of new business
buildings have recently been' complet
ed and many new and substantial resi
dences are now ln course of construc
tion throughout the city.
Sale of School Land.
Though sale of school land have
practically ceased, the receipts of the
land department, are undiminished.
The monthly statement, made by Clerk
George G. Brown, shows that for
August the collections were $30,036.11,
or over $1000 a day. This is equal to
the normal receipts while school land
was selling. The money now coming
in is composed chiefly of deferred pay
ments on sales heretofore made.
Will Pack Meat on a Large Scale.
Rehor.and Hulac of Omaha, Neb.,
have bought out Kerr & Housler's
meat market and cold storage plant at
McMlnnvllle. They are making ar
rangements to carry on an extensive
pork and meat packing business. Mc
Mlnnvllle was their choice, due to ex
tensive stock raising the farmers have
gone into this last four or five years.
Yamhill county has ten times the stock
today it had six years ago.

Chicago, Sept. 3. Without a word
of warning two men were killed and
two others wounded by hold-up men at
the barns of the Chicago City railway

peared at the receiving window and be
gan shooting without warning.

WANT NO CHANQB OF RULE.
Danish West Indie Board Finds People
Are Well Satisfied.
Berlin, Sept. 2. The National Zei
tung says the Danish West Indian com
mission is said to have reported as fol
lows to Finance Minister Hage:
"The pcpulation of the islands is sat
isfied to remain under Danish rule.
The whites hope from the newly awak
ened interest of Denmark in the Island
an improvement of economic conditions
and the fostering of civilizing influence.
The negroes, for the greater part, are
indifferent, and know bnt little about
Denmark. The administration of the
islands was found to be unpractical
and expensive and the hygienic condit
ions entirely unsatisfactory."
It is believed, says the National Zie-
tung, that the commission wilt report
in favor of reducing the military estab
lishment on ths islands and reorganiz
ing the gendarmerie on modern lines.
The report will also suggest that more
attention be paid to publio instruction,
the improvement of the hospitals, the
tobacco growing industry and the rais
ing of corn. The commission places
great weight on the necessity of com
munication between the islands them
selves nd with Denmark. The hope
is expressed that the exports sf the is
lands can be developed, and in this
connection hopes are based on the new
ly formed West Indian steamship and
land company.

Who May Present Claims.
Willemstad, Island ot Curacao, Sept.
2 Harsh justice is being meted out to
foreigners residing in the interior of
Venezuela, where the local authorities
are bunting down all foreigners who
dare to present claims against Venezu
ela in accordance with the recent pro
tocol.
Near Coroa, a local tribunal refused
to accept the testimony of five Italians.
On the latter insisting on tendering
their depositions, three were arrested
and thrown into jail. Two of them
attempted to escape and were fired up
on, one being killed. The Venezuelan
government does not deny this occur
rence, but is doing all it can to pre
vent repetition.
It is learned on good authority that
letters rent to foreigners from the Ital
ian and other legations instructing
them to send in their claims were
seized in the posts so as to prevent the
claims from arriving at Caracas in due
time.

WAR APPEARS SURE
TURKEY AND BULGARIA MAY CLASH
AT ANY MOMENT.
Present Condition Will Force This Step
Neither Nation Is Expected to De
clare Hostilities, But th Knowing"
One Hold That Only a Miracle Can
Prevent Tbem.
6ofia. Sept. 2. In both official and
revolutionary circles the opinion is
freely held that war between Bulgaria
and Turkey is imminent, and can be
averted by nothing short of a miracle.
It is not expected either government
will formally declare hostilities, bnt
that the prevaling conditions will force
on a war.
There is no question that large num.
ber 8 of insurgents have recently crossed
the frontier. An extensive outbreak in
Northern Macedonia is probable at any
time. .
The Autonomy prints a telegram
from Constantinople declaring that the
su'tan, influenced by the consuls of
Germany now favors war with Bulgaria,
The Turks here, however, take an
optimistic view, asserting that there is
no danger of a war, as Turkey does not
desire one, and Prince Ferdinand and
the present Bulgarian government are
not in a position to force hostilities.
The Bulgarian agent at Uskub re
ports that detachments of Turkish
troops sent to garrison the email towns
in that vilayet have spread destruction
along their route; the villagers have
been robbed and beaten, the women as
saulted and the Christian population
subjected to every conceivable outrage.
the local authorities appear to be help.
less to stop the atrocities. At the vil
lage of Kachme, six miles from Uskub,
the soldiers attacked all the peasants
without the gendarmes interfering on
behalf of the latter.
The Bulgarian agent specifies similar
excesses in many villages, and the po
sition ol the .Bulgarian residents is re
ported to be terrible, as the cruelties
committed by the Turkish authorities
exceeded all limits. Up to 6 o'clock
this evening Prince Ferdinand had not
arrived in Sofia, and the court officials
here declare they are without informa- '
tion as to his movements.
TO FIX THE BORDER.
Alaskan Commission Arrives In London-
Canadians are There Also.
London, Sept. 2 Sercetary of War
Ellhu Root, ex-Secretary of State
John W. Foster, Hannis Taylor and
Judge John M. Dickinson arrived at
Liverpooi on the steamer Celtic today
(or the meetings of the Alaskan Bound
ary Commission, which will o;en in
London September 3.
The commissioners are already famil
iar with the facts of the case, which
were filed several months ago. At the
first meeting of the commissioners next
Thursday, the Americans and Canadians
will submit their briefs which will be
a condensation of the facts and argu
ments regarding the interpretation of
the treaty. The Commission will then
announce the day on which the oral
arguments will be heard.
The documents have not yet been
made public, but the Associated Press
correspondent learns that the whole
controversy centers upon Canada's
efforts to acquire an outlet to the sea.
It is known authoritatively that the
Canadian agent asserts that under the
Russo-Bntisb treaty of 1825 the line
properly crosses numerous inlets, in
eluding the headwaters of the Lynn
canal. The contention seems to be
that the inlets less than six miles wide
situated in the disputed region belong
to Canada.
United States Consul Foster vigorous
ly opposes this tiew holding that the
treaty clearly places the line 30 miles
inland, following the sinuosities of the
coast, thus separating Canada from all
the arms of the ocean and putting Por
cupine creek and the gold district un
der American jurisdiction. The Amer
ican representatives are confident that
their poistion is unassailable.
