Prohibiting immigration.

New York, Nov 1O.-The board of
trade and transportation at its meeting
yesterday held lively discussion of the
subject OF immigration. James II. Sey-
mour introduced resolution to request
congress to consider the desirab;lity of
prohibiting immigration for three years.
This resolution was adopted. The
board also referred to a committee of
five, Messrs. Wise, Seymour, Barrett,
Wielands and Smith, 1.-THE question of
restricting immigrating, reciting that a
grave question now confronts the people
of this country by reason of the promis-
cuous and unrestricted immigration from
other countries.

proclamation this morning calling on all
good citizens to present themselves at
the city hall to be sworn in as special
policemen. Only Is men answered the
summons. The police force are worn
out and demoralized with the protracted
duties. Eleven military companies of
the state are under arms. Some of the
printers have gone back to work.

THE DALLEs SOUTHERN.
A sample Lot of Timber it is Intending
to Reach.


A Sample Lot of Timber it is Intending
to Reach.
One of the inducements held out for
the construction of The Dalles Southern
railway, is belt of tim Der in the Cas-
cade mountains. The forests of the Cas-
cade and Coast mountains of Oregon
have often been compared with the pin
cries of the lake region and the New
England states, but few realize the diff
ference. The pines of the east are
dwarfed and stunted, when compared
with the giant frs and mighty cedars
that adorn the slopes of our western
mountains, where the moisture-laden
and the warm winds of the Pacific keep
them in constant growth the entire year.
OF the belt of timber referred to in con-
nection with The Dalles Southern, one
who has visited it says there is miles OF
it that will bear an estimate of from
seven to ten million feet of standing
timber to the quarter section much of
the timber is the giant red cedar, known
as Alaskan cedar, though better in quail
ity than the same timber in that north
ern region. This timber is used for
shingles, and is worth 500 per 900 feet.
The trees are monsters, reaching often
200 feet in hight and eight to twelve
feet in diameter, SO large that the logs
would have to be blasted into halves be-
fore they could be handled in the mills.
The fir, which is so much heavier,
tougher and more durable wood than
| EIlar alS 70. rrfh o,,1
tapering more symmetrically than the
cedar, reaches a still greater hight in
proportion to it's base diameter.
To look at this forest one might think
the supply inexhaustible. but we are
told from the demands elsewhere, and
the inroads made upon timber in Oregon
that it is rapidly increasing in value.
With lavish hands have the settlers of
the Pacific slope spent the wealth nature
gave them. Millions of dollars have
gone up in the smoke, either by the de-
liberate act of the homesteader in clear
ing his land, or by the carelessness of
others in setting fires that have spread
over the thousands of acres, killed the
| trees, rendered them valueless as tim
Der, and checked the young growth.
For all this waste we must some time
pay, and the miners are already paying
in the decrease in the amount of water
in the streams late IN the season. The
destruction of the forest should be
stopped except for commercial purposes,
and some practical method of making
good the waste should be adopted. The
science of forestry may be able to warn
us of the danger of destroying the for
ests, but it cannot pass laws and execute
| them

Chilli Tardi1y Opening Her Eyes to
the Threatened Invasion-Other
Topics of Interest.

PANAMA, Nov 10.-According to ad-
vices from Chill, war is imminent be-
tween the Argentine Republic and Peru
on one side and Chill on the other.
Peru is perfectly well armed, and her
forces have recently received 100000
Mannlicher rifles of the latest pattern,
together with other formidable machines
of war. A Chillan gentleman just ar
rived from Peru states that in that re-
public the approaching war with Chill
affords the staple for conversation, and
in fact pretense of friendship is only
put forth as a means of gaining time.
In the Argentine Republic vigorous re-
cruiting of both natives and foreigners
is being prosecuted, and the govern
ment, in feverish haste, is arming
troops. There is no longer any doubt a
secret compact against Chill, offensive
and defensive, exists between the two
republics named, and they are only
awaiting anything that will serve as
into Tarapaca and another upon the
southern frontier, while strong skir-
mishiug parties will harass the country
from the Cordilleras. The Chilian gov
ernment has tardily opened its eyes to
the threatened invasion, and ordered
the steamers of the G. S. A. V. to be
prepared for immediate incorporation
into the navy, cabling for Captain Pratt
to proceed to Valparaiso at once.

How it Feels Over the Election of Cieve-

How it Feels Over the Election of Cleve-
land and Stevenson.
LONDON, Nov. 1O.-The Morning Post
says: "The fact of Mr.. Cleveland's re-
turn by large majority over the mot
ley crowd who adopted the Mckinley
bill cannot be taken as an indication
that extensive fiscal changes are at
hand. The adjustment of necessary
taxation in the interest of the manu-
facturers class is one thing; the con-
tinuation of taxes which are not re-
quired is very different thing. Per-
haps Mr.. Cleveland would be stronger
had he declined the aid of Tammany
hail.
The Times says: sit is clear that the
democrats are by no means prepared to
commit themselves to free trade. For
the present the party will be satisfied
with the usual arrangements for placat-
ing professional politicians, who have
shown their power more strikingly than
on any former occasion. The election
was not only a protest against protec-
ton, but also deathblow to the efforts
of party men to manufacture political
capital out of the memories of the civil
war;
The Daily News says: cat present
the country has only decided in favor of
freer trade than before. Cleveland
cannot move fastersthan the nation, and
the economic heresies of half a lifetime
are not to be extirpated in day. The
New York machine, which long has
been vile contrivance for securing the
private ends of self-seeking politicians,
has received a deadly blow, for under
the other name of Tammany it has been
compelled to support Cleveland
The Standard says: "Although the
Mckinley protectionists have received a
knock-down blow, the sequel probably
will show that protection has been only
scotched, andInot killed. AS far as this
country is concerned the article says,
''the victory of one party or the other is
not a matter of political Importance.
Whichever party is in power, there arise
occasions on which the United States
government fails in courtesy toward
Great Britain, but everybody knows
that these disagreeable incidents are
merely electoral maneuvers."

LONDON, Nov. 10.-Further particulars
regarding the finding of the body of the
Duke of Marlborough show that when
the body was found life had bean extinct
several hours. The Chronicle saws: The
late duke of Marlborough was by habit
breaker of moral law and by desire
founder of economic laws. He was a
man of whose ancestor it was said he
proved false to every woman and every
cause with which he was connected.
But the late duke was not connected
with any cause. Nothing whatever but
good of the dead is more or less the
hypocritical fashion of the day. So we
may say of his latter years that they
were an improvement on his earlier
ones" The Times publishes an inter
view had with Lord Randolph Church
i'll, in which he said: 3'Please contradict
positively that he died an unnatural
death. From all we have been able to
will be post-mortem exami nation, and
perhaps an inquest. OF course, that de-
pends upon the result of the post-mor-
tenn The Times says: 1.-THE late
duke was his own worst enemy, and by
scandals in his private life threw away
the certainty of attaining a position of
great Influence in the country" The
ost-mortem examination of the body of
the Duke of Marlborough revealed that
his death was the result of calcarous de-
generation of large vessel of the heart.

CUNNING COYOTES.

One of The Most Remarkable Evidences

You speak of the cunning nature of

and stealing chickens, have often been
talked about, but an incident occurred
the other imorning which places these
wild CANNES far ahead of their tame,
domesticated brothers in intelligence.
During the past summer and fall, jack
rabbits have been unusually scarce III

mers have all placed high picket fences
around their hen coopes. Coyotes have
been just as thick, however, and their
melancholy bowling is, nightly, audible

Alb out their only means of obtaining a
COW, which fingers on the railroad track
too long. Section men say that when a
COW is struck and killed by the night
train the skeleton is all that remains to
be buried in the morning.
Evidently such occurrences are too
rare to satisfy the willy coyotes. The
other morning, as train No.
"a was approaching Echo station.
Engineer Harry Mapes noticed COW on
the track ahead. He whistled, and the
COW didn't move. As he got closer, he
noticed two coyotes herding the COW,
holding her on the track. He applied
the air brakes and reversed the engine
and had almost stopped before the COW
made move to get off the track. The
coyotes trotted off ways and stopped,
looking back in sneaking manner, as if
ashamed of having been foiled in their
game.
