ItUT July 1.
Washlnrton, D. C Inquiries hare
bea made of Seuatora aud Represeo
tatlvea by aoldlera ho served In the
Philippines aa to the cauae of delay
u deliveriiif the brooxe medals
which were authorized by the act of
June J9, 1906. Investigation at the
War Department discloses the fact
that these medals are ready for dis
tribution, but are sent out only upon
application of the soldier. They are
distributed by the Quartermaster
ueneral, United States Army, and
applications addressed to him here
will be promptly honored.
The act authorizing the Issuance
of these medals provided for strlk
ing off such medals of bronxe, bear
ing suitable device, "to each of the
several officers and enlisted men and
families of such as may be dead.
who, having volunteered and enlist
ed under the calls of the President
for the war with Spain, served be
yond the term of their enlistment to
help suppress the Philippine Insur
recnon, ana wno subsequently re
ceived an honorable discharge from
the United States army, or who died
prior to such discharge."
Those regiments from Oregon,
Washington and other Western
states which served In the Philip
pines after the close of the Spanish
war, are entitled to these medals,
and applications from Individual sol
diers, with a statement of service
coming within the scope of the law,
will bring forth medals from the
Quartermaster-General's office.
The act to amend the National
banking law, approved May 30, pro
vides that the toft amount of notes
Issued under the ' provisions of the
act, secured otherwise than by United
States bonds outstanding at any
time, shall not exceed 1600,000,000.
In order that the distribution of
notes to be Issued under the provis
ions of this act may be made as
equltablo as practicable between tbe
various sections of tbe eountry, tbe
Secretary of tbe Treasury will not
approve applications from associa
tions In any state In excess of the
amount to which such state would
be entitled of the additional notes
authorised on the basis of the pro
portion which the unimpaired capi
tal and surplus of the National bank
ing associations In such state bears
to the total amount of unimpaired
capital and surplus of tbe National
banking associations of tbe United
States.
The quota assigned to Oregon
with a bank capital and surplus of
6,170,000 Is 12,114,000.
According to a ruling made by
Commissioner of Pensions Warner, It
will not be necessary for soldiers'
widows now on the pension rolls at
a rate of less than 12 per month to
make any formal application to the
department to obtain the Increased
rate provided for by the widows'
pension bill signed by the President
April IS last. To all those now on
the rolls tbe Increase will take place
automatically and tbe higher rate
will be paid by the pension agent at
the next quarterly payment upon re
ceipt of the voucher properly execut
ed. ' The rate of $12 begins with the
date of the act; April It.
Widows not on the rolls who were
married to a veteran prior to June
27, 1890, are required to make ap
plication, but do not have to prove
dependence as before, or that the
Boldler died as result of his war ser
vices. Application blanks for this
purpose can be obtained from sena
tors or representatives.
It Is doubtful If the decision of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
In the Pacific Coast lumber rate
cases will be rendered much before
July 1. Several weeks' work re
mains to be done, although every ef
fort Is being made to expedite these
decisions. It is proposed to an
nounce simultaneously the decision
n all the Pacific Coast lumber rate
cases, as the points involved are
practically the same in all.
The supervising architect has an
nounced tbat bids will be opened

Arrest LewUton Lawyer.
Lewiston, Idaho, June 8 Attor
ney J. O. Crawford, candidate for
the nomination for County Attorney
on the Republican ticket, was arrest
ed last week on a charge of obtain
ing money under false pretenses.
Crawford says his arrest Is a politi
cal scheme to defeat his candidacy
for the office, and charges officials of
the United States Land Office with
being Implicated In the conspiracy.
The complaining witness Is George
Wagner, well-known and prosper
ous farmer of Oroflno, who alleges
Crawford represented to him that
contest had been filed against a
homestead upon which Wagner made
application for final proof. Wagner
states he advanced $30 to Crawford
to retain him a counsel and securing
patent to the land. He alleges In
vestigations at the local land office,
made with the assistance of a land
office Inspector, disclosed the fact no
contest had been filed against his
property.
Cloudburst Ruins Crops.
North Yakima, Wash., June 8. A
serious cloudburst occurred at noon
today In the Moxee Canyon, east of
this city. The water came down In
a solid sheet tor an hour and flooded
out potatoes, alfalfa and wheat fields
for a radius of five miles from the
canyon. Many of the ranchers tear
that their crops have been ruined.
The cloudburst was the most severe
ever experienced In tbat part of 'the
country. An electrical storm occurred
over this city, but little rain fell.
Pull Conductor Off Car.
Iiakersfield, Cal., June I. A
streetcar was held up on the out
skirts of the city about midnight last
night and Conductor Frills robbed
of Ml. The deed was committed by
two masked men, one of whom
jumped aboard the car, pulled the
conductor to the ground and robbed
him, while the other stood guard
with guns. The car continued on its
way, the motorman and passengers
falling to see the attack made on the
conductor. No trace of the robbers
has been found.
Room Piles for Vice-President.
Washington, D. C, June 8. Close
friends of Senator Samuel h. Plies,
of Washington, and - Oeorge A.
Knight, of California, have launched
the booms of the two men here for
the vice-presidency by the Chicago
convention. It is urged tbat either
would add strength to the Republl-:
can ticket on the Pacific Coast and
In the far west. i
Republican leaders are now look-'
lng carefully Into the political con
ditions in tbat section of the country. '
It is considered absolutely necessary
that the Coast states be held fast In '
the Republican column. This can be
done, say their friends, by naming
either Senator Piles or Mr. Knight.
They further argue that it Is time
the far west was being recognized by
a place on the national ticket.
Large Sawmill llurned.
Vancouver, Wash., June 8. The
Pittock & Lead better lumber mill
was almost entirely destroyed by Are
this morning.
The mill proper, with all the mach
inery, is a complete wreck, much
damage has been done to dock and
a considerable quantity of lumber has
been burned. The bollerroom and
the greater portion of the lumber In
the yards have been saved, due en
tirely to the absence of wind.
The machinery In the mill Is said
to be valued at about 160,000, and
at a" low estimate the other losses
will aggregate 100,000. Upon this
there Is an Insurance ot 100,000.
The plant will be rebuilt as soon as
tbe loss is adjusted.
Protest Against Picture.
' San Francisco, June 8. A picture
of General Robert E. Lee, leader of
tbe Confederate forces, hanging on
the wall of the high school at Red

G. A. R. as the active agents for its
removal. , ,
The picture was placed there two
weeks ago by one of the teachers,
and as soon as they learned of it the
Teterans protested.
