CONSUL MAY BE SLAIN.
Macedonians Threaten Him. at Well as
Journalists and Missionaries.
London, Sept. 10. A Monastir dis
patch to the Daily Mail, dated Septem
ber 8, says the great military drive in
the mountains to the southwest of Mon
astir toward Lake Prespa by a force of
3,000 Turkish iufantry with 12 guns,
resulted in the escape of all the revolu
tionary bands. Though the latter were
practically surrounded, not one was
captured The correspondent continues
"Vice Consal McGregor tells me that
the porte has informed Hilmi Pasha
that it has received a threat ''rom the
Macedonian committee that the insurg
ents intend to murder a British consal
or a Journalist or an American mission
ary. Vice Consul McGregor notified
the Turkish authorities that he will
hold them responsible for any murder
by either tne Turkt or the Bulgarians,
In my opinion this is nothing bat i
gentle hint to the British journalists
who are exposing the massacres.
A Sofia dispatch to the Daily Mail,
dated September 8, sayt the revolution
ary committee tomorrow will issue to
the representatives of the powers a cir
cular note forewarning them of coming
events. The note is intended to justify
the future actions of the insurgents and
will point to the probable total exter
mination of the Christains as necessi
tating the employment of the same
atrocious measures by the revolution
aries against the Turks, and will con
tend that the responsibility for such
desperate acts will rest with the pow
ers. STAND QOES DOWN.
People at Sham Battle Are Precipitated
to the around.
Leavenworth, Kan., Sept. 10. The
grandstand erected on a knoll on the
Fort Leavenworth reservation close to
the city limits gave way this afternoon,
injuring 24 pereont. None were killed.
Many of those injured re. eived brouen
;s. The stand wai put up this morn
ing. Fully 1,500 people were crowd
ed on to it. Just about the time the
sham b.Utle concluded the grand stand
broke down. .
There was a heavy artillery duel with
siege guns. Ihree battalions ot infan
try were using black powder. Some
one announced that the cavalry were
emerging from a ravine to charge.
People on the gandstand stood op to
see them through the smoke. The en
tire stand went down with a crash.
The etmost confusion followed, accom
panied by shrieks of victims.
It was found that many were pinned
down nnder the debris. Hundreds
who were walking on the ground rushed
to the grandstand looking for relatives.
The confusion was indescribable until
the regular soldiers formed a line and
kept all back not injured or caring for
those injured.
The battle, which was on the other
side of the road, was called off and the
soldiers, acting under the direction of
their officers, began taking care of the
injured. Ambulances were used to
convey people to the city hospitals,
and within an hour after too accident
the injured had all been removed. All
those injured are alive, but it is feared
three will die.
FIRE TO DRIVE REFUOEBS OUT.

terior organization estimates that 150,
000 women, children and old men are
hiding in the mountains and forests of
Macedonia. The Turks are burning
the forests in the districts of Leion and
Kosbre and killing the fugetives who
attempt to escape to the plains. The
Vlach village of Gopesb, three hours

by the Turks, who are reported to have
thrown several of the inhabitants into
the fire.
Thirteen thousand Turkish soldiers
are assembled at Pianka, Kratovo and
Gobchani, and are plundering the sur
rounding villages. The people have

brital, vilayet of Monastir, the soldiers
are reported to be naked and starving
and to be robbing all around. ,
Russia Is Causing Discord.
Tokio, Aug. 28, via Victoria, B. C,
Sept. 10. The conclusion of tbeRusiro-
Chinese secret convention is much
talked about in Pekin, and the Chinese
foreign office shows special earnestness
in denying the fact. Presumably with
the idea of causing discord between
Japan and Chins, Russia lias told tbe
secretary of the grand coancil in Pekin
that, a Russo-Japanese agreement hav
ing been concluded, Japan can no long
er interfere with the Manchurian prob
lem, and therefore China may freely
enter into friendly'negotiations.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
STATE FAIR PROSPECTS.
Fine Exhibits and Fast Racing Will
Draw Large Attendance.
Prospects for the coming Oregon
state fair, to be held in September 14
to 19, are most fluttering. The fair
will excel la the line of exhibits and
attendance any state fair held hereto
fore in Oregon. The abundant crops
insure a speinedfd snowing of grains.
and the fact that the commissioners to
the St Louis exposition are co-operat
ing to secure the best that is shown
here for use next year means that the
exhibits, especially in the agrricultural
line, will be of ,the very best. The
live stock department, too, promises
better this year 'thaa any preceding
year. Breeders are preparing large
exhibits in this department, which has
caused the association to build a large
number of new stalls. Governor Sparks
of Reno, Nev., is sending a very line
herd of Hereford cattle from the AJa-
mo stock farm, which will meet compe
tition in herds shown by C.B.Wade of
Pendleton, A. J. Splawn of North Ya
kima, George Chandler of Baker City,
Gilbert & Patterson of Salem. In the
shorthorn section exhibits will be made
by Charles E. Ladd, C. B. Wade, W. O.
Minor, Metsker & Klemgard and oth
ers.
Tbe racing will be made a feature ot
this year's fair. A large number of
high class horses have already made
their entries, coming from California,
Montana, Colorado, Utah, Washington
and British Columbia. The two big
stakes of $2000 will arouse keen com
petition. These are the largest stakes
ever raced for in the northwest and
the best horses will compete for them
that have ever been seen on the cir
cuit. The grounds are in spelendid
condidtlon and the beautiful oak grove
will furnish plenty of shade and com
fort for a week's outing. The buildings
are all in splendid condition, and the
new show building will furnish comfort
to hundreds of spectators who wish to
see the judging of live stock.
ACQUIRE FRESH PROPERTIES.
New York Companies Purchasers In the
Bohemia Country.
G. B. Hengen, director and buslnesp
manager of the Oregon Securties Com
pany, of New York is at the company's
properties In Bohemia, and the result
Is that some valuable acquisitions were
made. The Broadway group, consist
ing of fifty acres, and the Ophir group,
of 80 acres, were added to their terri
tory, .making over 900 acres of mineral
lands that they now own. The Broad
way group is an important factor to
them at the present time, as they will
drift through the mountain on a strong
and well defined ledge, Instead of pene
trating through the hard country rock.
Besides it will give them several hun
dred feet depth of high grade ore that
they will be enabled to handle from
this tunnel.
The Ophlr group is an extension and
Joins the Musick property, which
the company has drifted on one to six
levels to the edge of the Ophir. This
property has been owned for a number
of years by O. P. Adams, C. F. Cath-
cart and W. W. Cathcart. There has
enly been assessment work done from
year to year, notwithstanding large
bodies of high grade ore have been
struck. j
By acquiring this property the Ore
gon Securties Company will have near
ly 3000 feet to drift on from Musick
lead. The company is Installing .ma
chinery as fast as possible, and it will
be but a short time until it will have
40 stamps and concentrators In opera
tion. Rich Strike In the Bohemia. j
Herbert Leigh, manager of the North
Fairvlew mines in the Bohemia dis
trict, has reported a rich strike In his
group. A body of ore four feet wide
and running $500 to the ton has been
uncovered on the north slope of North
Fairvlew mountain. Open cuts have
been made along the ledge a distance
of 1200 feet showing the same char
acter of ore and from four to six feet
wide. A day and night shift is work
ing and the ore lg to be sent to Tacr
ma for treatment
Hatchery on Elk River.
The salmon hatchery on Elk river,
three miles above the Elk City, in
Lincoln county, Is to be made perman
ent. Lumber and building material is
now arriving at the site for rebuilding.
Hatching operations were conducted at
the spot for the first time last season,
when a temporary plant was put In and
conducted as an experiment. The sea
son resulted in hatching about 600,
000 little salmon.
Rainier Mills Destroyed.
The shingle mill, saw mill and dry
kilns of Olson ft Nordby were destroy
ed bv fire that broke out a little after
10 o'clock last night The insurance is
said to be about half on a $40,000 loss.
Kortv men are thrown out of employ
ment The shingle mill had a capacity
of about 120,000 per diem. Ih the des
troyed dry kilns were 1,200,000 shin
gles.
Franchise for Bluff Elevator.
An ordinance has been passed by the
Oregon City council granting to County
Judge TT F. Ryan a irancnise ror tne
building and maintaining of an electric
elevator system over the blu.fl. The
same ordinance grants to Mr. Ryan
the right to construct and operate a
street railway system on certain of the
streeU of Oregon City.
School Delayed a Week.
Ttia TarVannville DubllC Schools will
commence Monday. September 14. The
delay of a week from the usual date
of commencement was occasioned by
the necessary finishing touches on the
tew schoolhouse before tne furniture
and fixtures could be placed In posi
tion. Hot Dryer Destroyed by Fire.
Tt Vnnr hoodrier. near Cottage
Grove, catteht fire and was totally de
stroyed. The loss was about ijowj.
Half of the lost waa tn hops. The
house and contents were fully covered
by Insurance.
WATER WOKXS WONDERS.
Kalamath Desert Changed to Smlilng
Oraln Fields. ,
State Treasurer C. S. Moore, who
has just returned from a month's out
ing in Klamath county, reports that all
industrial affairs In that section of the
state are prosperous and that the coun
try surrounding Klamath Lake Is
steadily developing. Irrigation ditch
es are being enlarged and extended and
the producing area gradually enlarged
the hay crop of that region is enor
mous and since prices are up the farm
ers are making money.
"The productiveness of that sage
brush land when water la put on it is
amazing," said Mr. Moore. "There is
a large tract of land out south of Low
er Klamath lake that I used to drive
ever frequently a few years ago.
vould not give ten cents an acre for it
without water on It. A man could not
live on it This summer I drove
through that same country and instead
of a dry, sage-brush plain, I saw fields
covered with an immense crop of wheat
and land that has already yielded one
crop of alfalfa and has another crop
almost ready for cutting. One tract of
1000 acres of that apparently worthless
land produced 25,000 bushels of wheat
1200 tons of alfalfa already this season.
I am told that the owners of that tract
of land, which was covered with sage-
Drush three years ago, will clear up
from $15,000 to $20,000 this year.
The land is owned by Henry E. 'An-
keny and Roscoe Cantrell, and is irri
gated from their ditch. I do not know
what they paid for the land, but it is
quite certain that they have already
realized all they ever put Into it. and
could now sell it for at least one-third
more than it has cost them, counting
all Improvements. This simply illus
trates the wonderfuld productiveness
of that soil if you can only get water
cn it."
EUGENE PEOPLE TAKE HOLD.
Are Determined to Make the District
Fair a Success.
The officers of this District fair are
making arrangements for the fair to be
held at Bangs' park, near Eugene, for
four days, commencing September 28.
The flve-eights-of-a-mile race track in
the park has been put in first class con
dition. There is not a better track in
the state.
Premiums to the amount of $1500
are offered for the various exhibits,
while additional special premius are
offered by citizens of Eugene. " The
people of Eugene have subscribed
nearly $1500 to aid the enterprise. The
large pavilion on the grounds is being
enlarged to make room for exhibits,
and stock sheds, horse stalls and a
grand stand are being erected.
The park is in an excellent place for
camping and a number of wells are be
ing driven In different parts of the park
for the benefit of those who wish to
camp during the fair.
Well Preserved Baldwin Apples.
T. B. Klllin, county commisioner for
Clackamas county, brought to Oregon
City samples of the Baldwin variety
of the apple family that were -picked
from the tree in September 23 last.
The fruit is in a fair state of preserva
tion at this time, with no eveldence of
decay. Commissioner Klllin says he
does nothing to prolong the natural
state of the apple, which is kept in the
cellar throughout the winter. Mr. Killin
resides in the south end of the county,
and reports that there will not be to
exceed half a crop of apples this year.

STUNNED BY SHOCK.
Passengers In Terrible Trolle
Do Not Cry Out. i ,
Pslham, N. H., Sept. 9. Through
head-on collision today two electric
cars, each running, it is said, at a rate
of more than 20 miles an hour, four
persons were killed and 19 were so seri
ously injured that they are under phy
sicians' care and several ot these are
expected to die. As there were 70 pas
sengers on 'the two cars, many others
received cuts and minor wounds which
did not prevent their going to their
homes.
The accident occurred on the line
which runs through this town between
Lowell and Nashua and one of the cais
which was coming from the latter city
was nearly filled with people on their
way to a summer resort. The collision
was due, according to the officials of
the road, to a misunderstanding of the
starter's orders by the motornian of the
car bound fcr Nashua.
The car starter endeavored to rectify
the mistake by shutting off the power
and trying to recall the Nashua bound
iar, but it failed.
The cars met en a carve, neither
motorman seeing the approaching car
until too late to avoid a collision
Neither was there time for tbe passen
gers to escape by jumping when the
cars came together with a force that
threw the west-bound car direc ly upon
the forward part of the other, crushing
the top of the car down upon the pas
sengers and pinioning those occupying
the first three seats in the wreckage.
Persons who witnessed the collision
stated afterward that it came so unex
pectedly that it seemed some minutes
before the passengers realized what had
happened. All were silent and the
passengers made no outcry, appearing
dazed by tbe shock. Near the acci
dent were a number of campers, who
at once rushed to the scene. With
crowbars and other instruments the
wrecked roofs of the cars were pried op
and the imprisoned passengers released.
Not one of the passengers on tbe two
cart escaped injury of some sort, al
though a number were not seriously
hurt.
IS UP TO COLOMBIA.
United States Not Working for New Ca
nal Treaty Wants Old Agreement.
Washington, Sept. 9. The state de
partment today received a routine mes
sage from Mr. Beaupre, tbe American
minister at Bogota, acknowledging the
receipt of Secretary Hay's cablegram of
August 26, stating that the Washing
ton government would enter into no
engagement which would hamper the
president s freedom of action under the
law. This was all the cablegram stated
although it has been the basis for spec
ulative reports about Mr. Beaupre's
ideas of the Bogota situation.
The state department s attitude is
one of dignified patience. No indica
tion of its course of action in the event
that the Colombian congress rejects or
amends the treaty will be forthcoming
until the time for the exchange of rati
fications expires, September 22. It is
known at the state department that the
Colombian congress is already regret
ting its hasty action in rejecting the
treaty, but the state department will
suggest no remedy (or the mistake.
Once and for all the state department
has announced that the treaty as ap
proved by the Washington government
was ratified by the American senate.
It is up to the Bogota government tc
ratify that identical treaty, if Colombia
desires an isthmian canal. Tbe state
department regards all the reports as to
the connection of this government or
even its interest in the unrest on the
isthmus at too trivia) for consideration.

London, Sept. 9. A Melbourne dis
patch to the Daily Chronicle says:
The administrator of British New
Guinea reports tbe discovery of an ex
traordinary tribe of marshland dwellers
in the island of Papua. Owing to the
swampy ground and tangled under
growth, walking and canoeing are al
most impossible. The native dwellings
are built in trees and as a result of the
conditions existing tbe natives are
gradually losing the nse of their lower
limbs and are unable to walk on bard
groutd without their feet bleeding.

London, Sept. 9. Special dispatchet
from the near East, published here th't
morning add little fresh newt regard
ing the situation in the Balkans. All
the correspondent! at Constantinople
emphasize the apparent danger of war
with Bulgaria, while the Sofia corres
pondents are equally insistent as to the
prudent and correct attitude of Prince "
Ferdinand and his government.
Accounts from both Turkish and in.
surgent sources of the operations in
Macedonia show that the work of ex
termination is proceeding unchecked,
and, although apparently emphasizing
the danger of a conflagration, the pow
ers are making little effort to inter
fere, it is believed that nothing of
serious nature will be done until aiter
tbe meeting of the'ezar and Emperor
Francis Joseph at Vienna, when it may
be too late.
The insurgent) are now said to num
ber 2,500 well armed and efficiently
commanded men. Their leaders will
stop at nothing to secure resources for
their equipment.
The Sofia correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph says:
"I am in close touch wiih the in
surgents and am sble to affirm emphat
ically that unless acceptable proposals
shall be mrde within two or three
weeks, Europe will be startled by a rec-
ord of deeds uneqnaled in the blood
stained history of the East."
The Morning Leader's correspondent
at Sofia saysthe Turkish policy it to
draw the insurgents into action at all
points. The bands, however, are
avoiding conflicts until theii prepara
tions shall be completed. They are
gathering in masses at various strategic
points with a view to comprehensive
movement inside of 10 days.
An unconfirmed report from Vienn
states that the Bulgarian exarch bas
been shut up in his palace because ot
bis refnsal to issue a further pastoral
letter asking the Bulgarians to lay
down their arms.
BAER DEFIES NATION.
Coal Baron Refuses to Make Public Re
ports en Mining.
Washington, Spt. 9. It President
Roosevelt takes the stand that is ex
pected, the courts will soon determine
whether the bureau of corporations in
the new department of commerce is to
amount to anything. The Reading.
Pennsylvania, Lehigh Valley and other
large coal companies in tbe east practi
cally have refused to furnish tbecensut
office with statistics called for concern
ing the operation of anthracite coal
mines of the United States from 1900
to the present time, and the president
bas been consulted as to the advisabil
ity of prosecuting President Baer and
other officers of leading anthracite com.
panies.
The law of 1898 provides a $10,000
penalty and one year's imprisonment
for any officer or corporation failing to
furnish statistics demanded by the gov.
ernment. The government seeks in
formation regarding operating expenses,
cost of productin of coal, freight
charges of affiliated roads, pay of min
ers, their number, 'the gross and net
earnings and the profits of the com.
panie. In the event of a radical action
being taken against Baer and bit col
talent in the United States will be em-
leagues of the coal companies, tbe best
legal ployed to attack tbe constitutional,
ity of the law of 1898. The vaildity of
the law has been questioned more than
once since itt passage, bnt only in an
informal way.
Conservative government officers
here view the tituation with great con
cern and admit frankly that the legal
ity of provisions of the census act and
the efficacy of the act creating the trust
smashing bureau of the department of
commerce and labor will be finally de
cided, if the matter ever reaches an is
sue in the courts.

that one cannot go 100 yards in any
part of the famous mineral districts

plementing the troops scattered over
the district are squads of cavalry, which
will canter over the hills and
make those points which no infantry
