With Canada on the southeast, United
States on the south, and Alaska on the
west, that vast and little known coun-
try called British America will be devel-

tic to allow England to retain it under
such conditions. There are some of the
greatest timber belts in: the world, and
many rich mines awaiting development
in that vast territory. There will one
day be great American cities 600 miles

Bogus Money.

Telegram. Reports are received from
points up the valley that counterfeiters
are circulating bogus coin and green
backs. Persons handling money these
times would do well to keep their eyes
wide open. In some places they are
using the old dodge by changing a 50
bill to SO by pasting the figure ten from
a cigar stamp on 81 bill, and when the
work is skiilfully done it is said that one
can hardly tell the difference. The boz
gus silver coins are lighter than the gen.
uine and have slick feeling and can be
detected by their ring. In some instan-
ces the doctored 50 bills have passed as
$40 bills through many hands before
being noticed.

weather Report.

PoRTLAND, Aug. 3I.-The official
weather bulletin yesterday says of east
ern Oregon: Threshing operations are
in full blast in most counties. In Grant
county the prospects for wheat are said
to be good, while in Baker county wheat
is turning out from twenty to forty five
bushels per acre. The general tone of
the reports concerning the wheat crop is
more cheerful. What little hay yet re-
mains to be cut is being harvested with
great activity, the weather being excep-
tionally fine. Very little change is
noted in the condition of fruit as com
pared with last week.. In some counties
it is said to be looking well. Corn could
yet be improved some by timely rain,
but not 30 with potatoes which are fast

given too much Importance to the Seat

people of Seattle were resolved to make
the state bow down and worship this
absurd attempt to procure public money

not creditable to the common sense OF
either party that they have tolerated a

SPOKANE, Aug. 31.-A Chicago special
says no other line has yet followed the
example of the Great Northern in with
drawing from the TranscontiEental as
sociation. Word came, however, from
st. Paul to Spokane which will render
it impossible for the Northern Pacific to
retain its membership after the Great
Northern retires. President Hill has
definitely abandoned the policy of rate
making in force on the transcontinental
lines. He announces be will make rates
based on mileage alone between st. Paul
and the Pacific. At present all the
transcontinental rates to the Pacific
coast terminal points are based on ocean
competition. For instance commodity
from st. Paul to Portland over the North
ern Pacific might take rate of 50 per
ped over the same line TO Spokane might
and probably would take rate of $3.50
or more per 100 pounds. Spokane is 375
miles east of Portland, but the Northern
Pacific would carry the same commodity
through Spokane and 375 miles farther
for 50 cents per 100 less.
This system of rate-making applies on
all trauscontinental lines, and has been
approved by the interstate commerce
commission in spite of the long and
short haul section of the act. The rea-
con given for this system, and which is
considered good by the commission, is
that lines are compelled to make un-
HI l<Dxr, kerr 20
to meet ocean competition. Were they
to use these terminal rates as the max
ina, and scale down all interior points
back to zero as starting point, the
whole system of roads would be nom
paying. Either the transcontinental
lines must abandon business to seaboard
points or arrange in some way to make up
the deficit for low terminal rates. It is
this system which the Great Northern
intends to overthrow by its mileage
charges.
The note of victory from Spokane
could almost be heard in Chicago. 1t
proposes to become the jobbipg center
of the northwest, and to utterly eclipse
| the pretensions of Portland, Tacoma
and Seattle. Spokane is the competing
/ point of the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific, and, of course, reduced rates
| must be met by the latter. The North
tern Pacific will also be forced to aban-
don its present system of making inland
rates by meeting the rates of the Great
Northern. This, in turn, will either
drive it ont of the association, or compel
the other transcontinental lines to aban-
don their local inland additions to a
through basis. Chicago officials are GU
rious to know how President Hill will
! scale his basis of rates. 1t is thought
he may attempt the application of the
Hungarian zone system. making the
same rates, for instance, to all points
within the same zone.

BosToN, Aug. 3l.-Gilbert G. Rice, the
man whose sufferings at the hands of
Tennessee miners did so much to turn
sentiment against them, arrived here
yesterday to consult a specialist ON his
ailments resulting from maltreatment
by the miners. Rice said the men cap
tured him while he was investigating
land he was about to purchase, and
thinking he was spy set about to devise
means to punish him. It was, decided
to tie him by the neck to freight car
sidetracked, on steep incline, with 81
lariat one of the miners had. Rice IN
reciting the story, says the decreion was
quickly carried out. ..The moose was
drawn around my neck and the brakes
loosened. One of the miners dropped
the moose from my neck to my waist.
As the car started thu lariat Strengthened
out and I took a step forward. Then
another and another, until I found it
difficult to keep up. The sides of the
track were lined with a jeering mob of,
miners. As the car passed they cheered
wildly. There was a sudden turn as the

end of the taut lariat felt myself flying
through space. / had gone off on q tan
gent and the rope near the car struck a
telegraph pole with a suddeness that
made me dizzy. The rope wound itself
rapidly around the pole. There was
sharp report, the lariat parted and the
car went on. As 1 swung around the
pole the lariat grew shorter and shorter
until I was brought fiat up to the pole
with a force that took my breath and
rendered me insensible. Hours later /
revived and got free from the lariat
which had torn my flesh about my foins
into shreds. Two ribs were broken aud
was bruised all over. :. I found squat

Ny weight has fallen from 205 pounds,
three weeks ago, to $50 now and the

I would say that it is our custom to do this

where ticket has been properly presented,
unused that has not been reSOId or handled
through some scalper, but what we have made
the proper redemption. We even redeem the
return portion of excursion tickets sold at
special rates, limited to certain dates, deduct
ing the regular one way rate therefrom and
allowing the difference. We have also &C
commodated the holders of our mileage books
sold at reduced rates by the redemption of

whenever there has been any value attached
to them, charging, of course, the one way rate

Monday evening, was attended by repre-
sentative body Of our citizens. Mr.. Reeves

sided. The object was to adopt a petition
to the legislature for an extension of the

and who had full information on the points
to be made in the petition. was not present,
the proceedings were confined to appoint

A. II. Fultz, Mayor of the city, Henry
Hutchinson, President of the Chamber OF
Commerce, and Reeves Gait, to prepare q
petition to the Legislature and report 1t to

A Probably Far Reaching Decision,

The decision of the Court of Appeals re-
leasing person convicted of keeping dis
orderly house, on the ground that the &C
cused was sentenced by a justice and did
not have trial by jury, is raising the
question among the lawyers whether other
offences, such as petty larceny, usually
tried by justices, do not come under the
same head. If so it will greatly increase
the criminal expenses of the State. The
full text OF Judge Lewis opinion is looked
for with interest. In substance the court
held that persons charged with criminal
offences are entitled to trial by jury, and
that the section of the Code giving magis-
trates concurrent jurisdiction with county
judges in certain cases is unconstitutional.
