Slide Nor, Serious Than Reported

Baker City Or, May 27.-The
landslide at the Climax mine, which
occurred about two weeks ago, in con
sequence of water ditch overhowing,
has proven far more serious than at
first reported. The mouth of the
main tunnel was closed with timbers,
boulders, gravel and debris of all
kinds, so that it required heavy blast
ing and 10 days to open it up. 1t
will require several weeks more to
put up the buildings destroyed and
restore the other property lost in the
flood.

TO DEFINE BOUDARY.
internal Survey Party viii Locate United
States. Canada Line.

Vancouver, b. c., May 27.-An in
ternational survey party, consisting
of United States and Canadian en-
gineers, is about to begin the task OF
defining the international boundary
between the United States and Can
ada from the Pacific coast to the
Rocky mountains. 1t is cOntended
that this work was inaccurately per-
formed in the surveys of 1859 and
1861. One of the most important
matters to be determined is the ques-
tion of the national Location of Mount
Baker mining district. Valuable
mines are embraced in this section,
and the territory is claimed by both
the American and Canadian govern
ments.
Lieutenant Sinclair, OF the coast
and geodetic survey, will be at the
head of the United States party, and
J. H. Macarthur will lead the Cana
dian surveyors. The work will begin
this week.

MULTIPLEx TELEGRAPHY.
The Rowland System is Being introduced Into
Germany.

Baltimore, May 27. The multiplex
system of telegraphy, invented by the
late Henry A. Rowland, of Balti-
more, whicL is being introduced into
Germany, permits of the transmission
of eight messages simultaneously over
a single wire, four in each direction
at the rate of 40 words minute.
The messages are sent by means OF
a keyboard similar to that Of type
writer, which can be operated by an
ordinary typewriter operator, and are
recorded at the other end of the wire
by small machine. 1t is possible to
either print the message upon a sheet
of paper or upon long tape like
that which is used in the ordinary

PROBABLY TRAMPLED TO DEATH
1t Is Hoped at Least That That is the
Fate OF the Hessian Fly.

Guthrie, O. r., Feb. 16.-The only posi-
bic danger to Oklahoma wheat now
would be the Hessian fly. The editor Of
the CARRIER Sentinel thinks that the dan
ger is practically eliminated, saying:
'fThe mild weather Of last fall gave
such a start to the Hessian fly mat its
damaging work was noticeable in all
wheat fields, and more especially where
the crop was put in early. The eggs laid
on the leaf of the plant matches out late

out it is a grub and crawling down in the

USING HIM FOR RIFLE TARGET
Highly ReprehensibIe Action OF One
OkIahoEnan 20 Another.

Guthrie. 0. T., Feb 1.-THE Alva RE
view says: One day last week Bert Dye
made complaint 10 the officers that a
young man named Roy Romano, who
lives out in the neighborhood of Ashley,
had been shooting at him with a Win
chester rife at long range. That night
Sheriff Oates and Under Sheriff Hunting
ton went out to arrest the man. bat as
there were more doors to the house than
two men could guard he made dash fer
liberty and escaped. Several shots we're
fired after him but the night was very
dark, and as grove of trees was near
the house and a canon near by he had
every advantage. The officers entered the
house and found their man had, in his
haste, left his pants boots and rifle be-
hind him. Owing to the darkness the Of
fcers gave up the chase and returned to
town, bringing his Winchester with
them. The next day Mr.. Romano came
in and surrendered to the authorities and
was placed in jail. The preliminary viii

town Is situated. and one by the Dawes
commission
1T is said the Indian governors sare
protesting against this whole proceeding
as being against the provisions Of the
Atoka. agreement. Doubtless the matter
is a move o nthe part Of congress and
the department to expedite the final deed
ing Of the townsites and thus at as early
a date as possible put the property in
these places upon a permanent basis.
'The original commissions claim that
if they. were given the same help that IS
allowed the inspector, they could push
the work of surveying and plating just
as WELL, and could apDraise the lots and
settle matters up just as expeditiously as
to have a lot of new commissions.
"As the courts have ruled that the titles
to these lots must all come through the
governors and officials Of the Indians, it
would seem that their consent to any new
plan ought first to be obtained in order
to avaid litigation that may possibly
arise over the matter.

possible. but we want goods deeds when
we pay our money"

WILL GIVE
THEM THIRTY
DAYS NOTICE
This VIII be Done, If No New
Opening Plan Is Adopted.
FLYNN'S MAIL is HEAVY
With Proposals for a Change
From the Horse Race"

Washington, Feb. 16.-From present
prospects, it does not seem probable that
a change in the method Of opening will
be employed in respect to the Kiowa and
Ccmanche country. The plain truth is
that none Of the plans proposed 50 far
appear to strike the secretary of the in
terror as any less Objectionable than the
old horse race plan.
Owing to the Eagles compaign for a
correction of the old evil, the mail of
Delegate Flynn has greatly increased, the
increase being caused by plans sent on by
Oklahomans who think they have found
a feasible way for eliminating the known
and recognized evils of the "horse race.
Not mail comes to Delegate, Flynn that
does not contain one or more "pians Of
opening" and in some instances as high
as ten plans have been received in one
day. Mr.. Flynn is referring them all to
the secretary Of the interior.
The sticking point seems to be this,
that the government does not desire to
father any shade of the lottery idea The
authorities feel that dissatisfaction after
a general free for all run would be much
less than the dissatisfaction which would
ensue after the government had doled out
lands by any system of lot whatsoever.
Government officials, however, have
been known to change their minds and
there is still chance if the demand from
Oklahoma continues as vigorously as it
has begun, that some sort of a plan viii
be adopted whereby the old race will go
by the board But if the decision were
to be made today, it would be for the IN
just old method.
1t now seems likely that the Wichita
country viii come In" with the Kiowa
and Comanche country, the opening of
the one being on the same day and hour
as the opening of the other. If this hap
pens the runners will have thirty days
notice to be given Of the opening, and if
the Kiowa opening is coincdental with
the Wichita opening, the thirty days no
tice viii extend it.
This will be the former monday start

DULLES with pistols b1ufing the farmers

pear to be generally understood here that

mendous number of runners viii lead to
an unusual contest and innumerable

TO RAISE NO
OBJECTION TO
COLORED MEN
Blackwell and It's View of a
Threatened Difficulty.
MAY ATTEND ENCAM PMEN 7
Although They Do Not Admit
Them Always.

Guthrie o. T., Feb. 1.-THE city Of
Blackwell has decided not to object to
the presence Of colored men at the Grand
Army encampment in that city in May.
The city Of Blackwell does not permit
colored men to live within its limits and
when il secured the annual encampment
the question came I'D over whether col
ored delegates would be permitted to at
tend.
Of the decision Of the people in the
matter the Blackwell sun says: The an
nual encampment of the territorial G. A.
r. win take place in this city in May.
That, at least, was the decision Of last
years encampment. However, since the
meeting was voted here the officers of the
Grand Army have thought of something
or had their attention called to it, which
may have to be satisfactorily arranged
before the encampment viii be held here.
That is as to whether Blackwell viii re-
ceive and accommodate the colored dele
gates entitled to attend. Mayor Tate, we
understand, has been written to by Off
GERS of the Grand Army who want to
know If the sentiment here against the
colored race IS such that their delegates
would not receive proper and respectful
consideration and accommodations at the
hands of our citizens. There are six col
pred posts Of the G. A r. in the territory
each Of which viii be entitled to repre-
sentation. Three OF four hundred dele
gates viii be in attendance. The mayor
didn't make any representations in re
Spouse to the inquiry but the local post
viii take the matter up and give their as
surance that the colored delegates viii
receive genteel treatment while in our
city. We have no antipathy toward the
colored people and have no objection to
their visits. We simply have no desire
10 have them as permanent residents is
as far as our feelings go in the matter
We bid the Oklahoma G. A. r. colored
members and all a hearty welcome TO our
city and the best that she affords"
