SWAMPED IN SNOW,
Jacobsen and Bartholomew Have an Ex-
perience on Ochoco Mountains

Jacobsen and Bartholomew Have an Ex-
perience on Ochoco Mountains.
What it is to contend with six feet
of snow on wild mountain, probably
E. Jacobsen, of this city, and G. Bar
tholomew. of Portland, will not soon
forget. During their tour of Eastern
Oregon, loaded with samples from
their respective houses. they are hav-
ing some exciting and at the same
time perilous adventures.
On the 9th of April they started
across the mountains between Nit
chell and Prineville, little expecting
to encounter snow six feet deep.
When they reached the summit, OF
travel further with their team was i'm.
possible, and the outfit had to be left
there for two days and nights: Lucki-
ly for them they found the miners at
the Mayaower mine were men whose
hearts were in the right place, ever
ready to help a fellow man out of
trouble. Jacobsen and Bartholomew
reached the May1ower almost famish-
ed, and when they informed the min
ers of their mishap, the latter set to
work with will and brought the prop
erty of the stranded drummer" out
on snow shoes. Jacobsen and Bar
tbolomew arrived at Prineville on the
evening of the 9th, having been three
days covering distance of SO miles
between Mitchell and that place. The
day they crossed the mountains Mr..
Crane tried to get over on horseback,
but had to abandon his horse in the
snow.

For Shipping Fresh Fish.

The Great Northern railway COM
pany has devised new means OF ship
ping fresh fish to the eastern markets.
AT present the fish are either frozen
or shipped in ice, but this device does
away with freezing altogether. The
plan lie to have fishing steamers de-
vote most of their space to a tank
containing brine which is chilled to a
temperature of six or ten degrees
above zero. The fish are thrown in
the tank while alive and are preserved
absolutely without change as long as
they remain in the brine. On arrival
in port contents of the tank, both
brine and fish, are emptied into cold
storage warehouse, or if cars are ON
hand, directly to them. The ears con-
tain the same apparatus with small
refrigerating device occupying FIVE
square feet, to keep the water at low
temperature. This machinery has also
to be Quilt in the steamer 1t is claim
ed by the inventors the fish do not
absorb any salt and that the flavor is
absolutely preserved.

A Mayfiower Representative.

Mr.. W. G. Kelman, the assayer for
the Mayfower Mining company, blew
into The Dalles this morning, called by
business for his company to Portland.
Mr.. Kelman is the man who was
chiefly instrumental in getting Jacob
sen and Bartholomew across the hill
from Mitchell to Prinevilie when they
were in place where horses had to be
discarded for man.
Mr.. X. admits that the inducemen ts
held out by Marx g. Jorgesons re-
preventative were paramount in the
deal, but just the same we want to
thark the Mayf]ower Mining Co., OF
Portland. of which W. P. Ready is
president, for the help in time of need,
which was extended to our fellow
townslnan, Jacobsen.
The MayAower people have a smelter
tous of $50 ere into one ton of 500
matter and can afford to ship the same
to the refinerys' with big profit mar
gin.
In the persons of Ready g. Co.,
Crook county has progressive

GREAT RAILROAD aoILp,s..


Over Five Thousand Miles to Be Built
This Year.
The Railway Age has this to say of
prospective railroad construction in
the United States:
There Is every indication that no
less than 5000 miles of new railroad
will be built in the United States in
1899, representing an investment of
about Sl50,0O0,O00. At the present
time over 1000 miles are under con-
tract or actually under construction.
The following states have over 100
miles of line under contract or under
construction: Pennsylvania, 100
miles; West Virginia, 140: Virginia.
100; North Carolina, 1872: Georgia, 146;
Florida, 1853: Louisiana, 144; Michigan,
III: Illinois, 1s5; Minnesota, 135; Iowa,
POI; Indian and Oklahoma Territories,
104; Arkansas, PIG: Texas, 1OS (includ.
ing 81 miles of grade, most of which
was completed last year,: California,
175: Idaho, POI; Oregon, 127; Washing
ton. $50.
Many important extensions and
connecting links are being undertaken
by some of the largest systems in the
west which have the money ON hand
to complete the work. Among these
are the Illinois Central, Chicago &
Northwestern, Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific, Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
Paul, Great Northern, Northern Pa
cific and Oregon Railroad and Naviga-
tion Company. The Illinois Central
alone will add 200 mites of line, in
it's Omaha ex;en sion, 130 miles:
connecting links in Mississippi, "a
miles, and coal brauch 10 miles long
in Alabama.
While most of the new road added |
this year will be in the south and |
the work is by no means |
COZ fined to those sections, eight GEN.
trail and northern and western states |
showing nearly 1000 miles under con-
tract or under construction.
There will also be large mileage
added in the Pacific states this year,
work being in progress on over 900
niles at the present time. Statistics
,f the new railroad built in 1898 show
/ total of 1882 6 miles of track laid on
,36 lines in As states and territories.

ANOTHER FOOL CAUGHT.
A Prosperous Washington Farmer
Swindled at an Old Trick.

A Prosperous Washington Farmer
Swindled at an Old Trick.
B. F.. Royce, a prosperous Dixie
farmer, while on the road to Dayton
this week, met two farmers from the
east looking tor investments, says the
Walla Walla Statesman. Mr.. Royce
was willing to satisfy them. AS they
were talking, fourth man met them.
He produced some lottery tickets, and
each of the farmers drew small paize.
Then one of the strangers and Mr..
Royce each drew a 5000 prize. The
lottery man demanded that they show
the money to cover this, and they
came to Walla Walla, where each said
his money was deposited. Mr.. Royce
had his money in a tin box, as had the
stranger farmer likewise.
Mr.. Royce and the investing farmer
met the lotteryman this side of Dixie,
and the money was all put in Mr..
Royce's box. There was the $4,000
guarantee aud $1,000 winnings of each
$40, 900 in all. On Tuesday Mr.. Royce
brought the box to Walla Walla, where
the division of the money was to be
made. He left it at the First National
bank. A bank official suggested that
the box was rather light to contain
S20, 200. The swindled man took the
hint. and the box was examined by
Marshal Kaufman. 1t contained not
quite S20, 200 worth of scrap iron.
The confidence men were candid
enough to write Royce that he had
been swindled. A good description of
them is in the hands of the police, and
they may yet be captured.

THREE NATIONS
ARE AGITATED
The Samoan Affair a
Complicated One.

NEW YORK, April 13.-A dispatch
to the Herald from Berlin says: Up
to a late hour lights burned in the
foreign Office, where much agitation
reigned during the afternoon, owing
to the latest news from Samoa.
The ambushing of the American
and English detachment by Mataafa's 3
warriors Is taken here in the most
serious light. The dispatch which
reached the minister of state from
consul Rose is taken as exonerating
the Germans from any hand in the
matter. as was at first feared might
possibly be the case. This removed
the obstacles to Germany's at once
naming her commissioner, who, it is
said, will be the first secretary of the
German embassy al Washington.
A parsonage in position to speak
authoritatiyely says the reports in
German papers that the German gov
ernment put in claim for damages is
untrue. All such questions as that
are entirely matters for consideration
of the commissioners.
All this Samoan trou ole is small
but wretched business, for which it
seems a terrible pity that 100000
marks worth of German property has
been damaged and lives of American
and English seamen have been need
lessly sacrificed.
The foreign Office has received sew
eral dispatches from the commander
of the cruiser Fake, in which he
makes no mention OF any disagreeable
discussion with Rear-Admiral Kautz.
The German government takes this as
sufficient proof that all stories told on
the subject must therefore have been
inventions of persons interested in
making trouble between Germany and
the United States.

No Rate War Probable.

Railroad agents have become near
ly convinced that there will be no
passenger rate war as result of the
cheap rates, says the Portland Tele-
gram.
Since the last disas6rons war the
railroads have become more cautious.
While it is true that the northern
lines adopted the cheap rates as sort
of retaliatory measure against the
southern lines for endeavoring to
"hog'' the whole of the business of
the National Educational Association,
it is also true that the southern lines
refused 20 strike back except in that
they met the rates. If those lines had
made lower rate it would have
precipitated another general rate war.
There is plenty of friction yet between
the railroads over the matter OF cheap
er rates, but none OF them care to
take the responsibility of starting a
fight by again slashlng the rates. All
are very we'll satisfied with the present
immigration trade and the chance for
another regular war seems very slim.

whiskey Combine Gradually Absorbing
Kentuckcy DistslIerles.
LOUISVILLE, KY, April l3.-The
R. B. Lancaster distillery, in Nelso n
county, has been acquired by the
Kentucky Distilleries & Warehouse
Company. The plant was one of the
best houses in the state. 1t has a
capacity of 400 bushels per day.
L. P. Rippy, of Lawrenceburg, has
received pay from the combine for his
two distilleries in Anderson county.
The Rippy distilleries are widely
known and are valuable properties,
c. Fl. Still and Alfred Austin have
been at work on deal for some weeks.
The formal transfer was delayed by
several little technicalities.
An officer of the Kentucky company
says that all the properties would not
be acquired by the combine before
July 1. There are several plants
which may be on the outside even until
fall. Tne officers in the company are
working hard to put all the plants
acquired in operation as quickly as
possible. Five distilleries are now be-
ing run at their fullest capacity. =

Mrs. L. B. Knapp, who bas been on
visit to her hus band, Lieutenant
Knapp, of the Second Oregon volun
teers, at Manila. has returned to Port
land. and is at the home of her father,
Judge Bellinger. on the East Side.
Mrs. Knapp has been absent from
Portland for six months, and says that
during her stay in Manila the weather
was most delightful. She visited the
ground on which was fought the
battles up to the time she left, and has
many photographs Of scenes of death
and destruction. She brought home
large collection of war-weaDons and
curios, among them one of the bam-
boo blowguns six feet long, which the
natives use to blow poisoned arrows at
the enemy. In her collection are
many swords, rip-kuives and meat
axes, and several guns; an insurgent
officers hat, made of mating an6
silver. also matchetcs, spears,
bolos and dirks, with wooden scab-
bards. The queerest weapons in the
collection are native-made combina.
tions of revolver, dirk-knife and brass
knuckles.
Mrs. Knapp was in Manila three
months, and was Oh the battlefield of
Calocan, and also at Santa Ana, the
day after the battle, while a lew
stray shots were still being fired.-Ore-

wheat Growing Finely.

1t has required nothing but good
weather to put the grain prospects for
this region up several notches. The
good weather has come and the pros
poets have gone up. Wheat is grow
ing finely, and so far as ideal conditions
for the crop is concerned, these con-
ditions are present.
A prominent wheat raiser said today
that there was now hatteripg season
ahead, although, as everyone well
knows. no one can pretend to be a
prophet and to say that these con-
ditions will remain. Spring sown
grain, so all the farmers report. is
doing we'll, and there is sufficient
moisture in the ground to afford the
needed supply for the coming crop.

Honorably Discharged.

John A. Mcneil arrived here on the
west bound overland today from Fort
Robinson, Nebraska. having been
honorably discharged from the United
States service on the 18th. He Obtain
ed his discharge on account of the
recent death of his father, who left
a number of small children requiring
the care of the older brother. Johnny
was attached TO troop C., First U. 5.
Cavalry. and went through the war
with Spain in Cuba without scratch.
During his s.rvice in the army he had
been promoted to the position OF
corporal for efficient service, and
would probably have remained in the
army had not it been for the death of
his father.

Recently Judge Bradshaw held a
term of circuit court in Sherman
county that only lasted three days, and
this week he finished up a term in
Gillian county in two days. Other
judges in the state seem able to wind
out session on short notice. The
April term of circuit court for Tilla-
nook county convened last Monday,
and adjourned within two hours, and
in Benton county the term lasted only
two days, there being but one criminal
case, and the defendant helped to ex
pediate matters by pleading guilty and
was sentenced to two years in the
penitentiary. From these records of
short terms of court it would appear
tLat people are either getting better
or are settling their differences out
side of court.

The German press gives its news

The Cologne Gazette remarks:
"We need not say that If the guilt
of the manager of the plantation is
proven Germany will approve of his
arrest and the demand for his punish

The Tageblatt calls the arrest of the
manager of the German plantation
where the ambuscade took place
illegal" saying: "Our consul is the

TIE FISH BUSINESS.
The Outlook is Fairly Good For Can
nerymen This Season

nerymen This Season
The San Francisco Trade Journal
| says of the salmon outlook: 1T is the
generally accepted opinion that Co
lum bia river chinooks will open this
season on the basis of Sl.25 for tails on
the river. The actnal sale at 81. 27t
for Chinook tails delivered in San
Francisco from fast April shipments
practically settles the price. The
fishing season has opened on the Sac
ramepto river. Those interested in
the industry do not expect any large
run in the Sacramento so long as sew
eral thousand seals stand guard off
the harbor, for each seal can get
away with from two 20 three salmon a
day. The question of the variety of
fish caught in the Sacramento is being
settled, for no longer ago than last
week the Sacramento River Packers
Association caught another Chinook
marked at the Clackamas, Oregon,
hatchery when the fish was set free.
1t weighed IA pounds and was there
fore about years old. Preparations
continue On liberal scale for fishing
in the Columbia river and also on
Puget sound.
If the fish run the pack will be very
large this year, at any rate We look for
a pack of Chinook considerably in
excess of 1898. even the 1897 pack may
be exceeded unless eastern cold stor-
age men do not buy to heavily. Prep
arations on Puget sound and Fraser
river are for much larger pack than
last year. The Alaska pack is ex-
pected to be larger also, but the mar
kets at home and al road will be closer
cleaned up than for several years,
with none in first hands so this will |
