BULLETIN ON IRRIGATION.
Government Issues Publication for Gen.
eral Distribution.


Washington, Sept. 4.-The depart
ment of agriculture has just issued a
farmers bulletin, entitled GLOW to
Build Small Irrigation Ditches," by
C. T. Johnston and ]. D. Stannard, OF
the irrigation investigation division.
There is expected to be Il heavy demand
for ssthis publication, as it contains
much information and advice that Twill
prove of great value to farmers who
contemplate irrigating their fields on a
small scale, or by way of experiment.
AZ shown in the report, many of the
failures of the past have been due to
a misunderstanding of the application
of water to crops. The proper way to
build bitches, to distribute the water,
and to control the flow are all pointed
out explicitly, and general idea is
given as to the amount of water needed
by different crops. This bulletin can
be obtained by application to the de-
partment direct, or through senator
or representative, as the edition is
large.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. 4.-F. A.
Newell, chief photographer of the
government, has returned to this city
after a tour of inspection in Northern
Wyoming in the interest of irrigation.
A number of sites for reservoirs have

Holiday is Generally Observed Throughout
Oregon-Big Time i'm Portland.
Portland, Sept. 2.-Lahor day was
observed in Portland yesterday with a
grand parade in the forenoon, field
sports in the afternoon and grand
ball in the evening. About 800
members of Portland labor unions
were in line in the parade, while many
thousands of the residents of the city
and visitors from the surrounding towns
crowded the sidewalks to view the pro-
cession. Fifty-six different unions
were represented, and of these the
Painters Union carried off the hand
some silk banner offered for the best
appearing organization. The Grain
handlers Union and the Pressmen's s
Union were accorded favorable mem
ton. and the judges expressed regret
that there were not second and third
prizes to award to them. Speech
making formed no part of the exercises,
tor the men chose to show their strength
by their appearance in the procession
and to spend the remainder of their
holiday in enjoyment. The procession
was the longest line of laboring men
ever formed in Portland, and it was
common remark that they were an un-
usually intelligent and prosperous look
ing crowd of citizens.

HAVE ORDERS. TO, SHOOT.
General Goblin VIII Take More Stringent
Measures.

Philadelphia, Sept. 2.-Having ex-
hausted every other means for pre-
serving peace and in protecting nom
union men from violence on their way
to and from the mines, Brigadier Gen.
eral Goblin, in command of the troops
now in the coal fields, has issued an Or
der that the soldiers shall shoot any
persons detected throwing stones and
other missiles, and that if any mob re-
sists the authority of the troops, they
shall freely use their bayonets.
The Panther Creek valley has been
in an almost continual turmoil this
week, and the troops stationed there
have had some difficulty in protecting
the lives of the worknen. The situa-
tion in the valley has, however, i'm
proved greatly, and it is hoped by the
military authorities that the lawlessness
and abusive language directed toward
the soldiers will now cease. The other
sections of the coal regions are compar-
atively quiet.
The general strike situation remains
unchanged. Some coal is being shipped,
but the quantity is so small, compared
with the normal shipment, that it has
little or no effect on the market. The
fuel now coming to the market is prin-
cipally washery and loose coal.

BANDITS FRIGHTENED OFF.
Armed Passengers Prevent Daring Trair
Hold-Up in Mexico.

Hold-Up in Mexico.
Tucson, Ariz., Sept. 4. Reports
have reached here of a daring attempt
by three American bandits to hold up
the International express on the Sonora
railroad, three miles from Hermo-
sillo. The train was running through
the orange belt, just below Hermosillo,
being due there at 10 O'Clock, when the
explosion of torpedo ON the track
caused the engineer to stop. When the
engine and cars had been brought to a
standstill, three Americans stepped out
of the shelter of a grove of trees and
covered the engine crew. Two of the
robbers then went to the express car
and demanded admittance. The mes
senger replied with volley of shots
through the door. the bandits returning
the fire. Several of the passengers,
learning the cause of the stop, armed
themselves and were going to the aid
of the plucky messenger, when the high
waymen became frightened and gave up
their attempt, disappearing into the
orange groves, where it was supposed
they had horses in waiting. AS soon
as the train reached Hermosillo, the
alarm was given and a troop of rurales
and a posse started in pursuit of the
bandits

SET FIRE TO MINE.
Situation in West Virginia Coal Fields is
Becoming Critical.

Situation in West Virginia Coal Fields is
Becoming Critical.
Bramwell, W.. Va, Sept. 4.-The
situation in the Flat Top coal fields is
extremely critical. The skirmish this
morning between the guards and
strikers at the Poeahontas Coal Com
pany, after the firing of the mine by
the strikers, has greatly enraged the
miners, from the fact that number on
their side were injured. 1t is thought
here that before tomorrow night troops
will either be in the Flat Top region
or en- route. Tonight the Pocahontas
Gollieries Company has the fire in its
mine practically extinguished, but
that company has doubled its force of
guards, as another attack at any hour
is feared. Many shots have been fired
from ambush, toward the direction of
the nonunion miners going to and from
work in the Fiat Top fields. The Elk
horn region is very quiet, no violence
having been reported from that section
tonight.
This morning strikers applied the
torch to various portions of the Poca-
hontas mine, near the west entrance,
which is on the Virginia side. The
guards and the strikers fired volley
after volley at each other The gov
ernor cf Virginia will be appealed to to
send troops to Pocahontas at once.

CHINESE In PHILIPPINES.
Cover Taft Proposes Amendment to the
Exclusion Law.

Exclusion Law.
Washington, Sep. Sit is the opin-
ion at the war department that Cover
nor Taft's remarks at the board of trade
banquet in Manila respecting the en-
ployment of labor on plantations will
form the basis of suggestion to con-
gress at the next session that the act
extending the Chinese exclusion laws
to the Philippines be amended. It is
contemplated to remove the ironclad
restriction which now exists and to
clothe the Philippine commission with
power to regulate the entrance of Chi
nese labor. The com mission itself has
already given some attention to the
subject, and it is believed that Pro-
fessor Jenks' investigations into the
labor problem in the Straits Settle
ments and elsewhere in the Orient
meet with approval. The proposed
regulations. it is said, will look to a
widely regulated system of admission
of Chinese as plantation laborers
under proper systems of identifcations
and on condition that they shall leave
the Philippines after a certain period
of time. Such regu lations as exist in
Hawaii for the proper care of the
coolies would be incorporated. Cover
nor Taft's representations on this sub
ject we're in answer to pressing demands
from the American chamber of COM
merce and employers of labor in the
Philippines for relief from the present
conditions, which, it is alleged, pre-
vent the development of the country.

United :Mineworkers of America, 800
members petition you to send troops to
Winona, on Keene's creek, to preserve
order until the strike is settled. The
troops are now located at Thurmond to
preserve order. They were sent there
at the instance of our sheriff, and while
upon investigation it appears that the
call for troops was unnecessary and
utter folly, yet we, as miners, are glad
to have them. They are principally
union men wo, king with our cause, and
look upon men working with the same
contempt as we do"

HUNDREDS KILLED
MOUNT PELEE CONTINUES TO SPREAD
DEATH AND DEVASTATION.

Castries, Island Of st. Lucia, B. w.
l., Sept. 3.-The British steamer
korona arrived here yesterday evening
from Fort de France, Island of Mar
Unique. She reports that a terrible
eruption of Mount Pelee occurred at
9 O'Clock Saturday. and people who
arrived at Fort de France from the
northern part of the island reported
that the village of Mourne Rouge, near
the district previously devastated,
had been entirely destroyed, and that
LIE Carbet, village on the coast
which was destroyed at the time of
the great eruption, had been swept by
tidal wave. About 200 persons lost
their lives.
A sloop from the Island of St. Vim
cent, which reached here this morning.
reports that Mount Pelee's crater ia

day night were the loudest heard up to
that time, and the inhabitants were
terribly alarmed.
Mount Pelee has been in constant
eruption since August Is. There was
an enormous fall of ashes from the
volcano the night of the 25th. There
was very severe eruption the night
of the 2Sth, when the volcanic rumb-
lings were heard at a great distance.
The mountain burned fiercely that
night and out at sea passing vessels
were covered with ashes. The night of
the 3Oth there were three separate
eruptions.

on the coast, are terror-stricken and
fleeing to the interior. Hot water is
pouring down on Lorraine and Basse
Point, villages to the northeast of the
crater. Horrible detonations were
heard, the ground rocked and quaked,
and articles on tables were thrown to
the floor.
The governor OF Martinique has
ordered every available boat to remove
the people from the coast villages to
Fort de France.
At O'Clock in the evening of Satur-
day, the 3Oth, the sky was cloudless.
Suddenly and without warning, one
half of the horizon was obscured by
pitch-black cloud of dust. This cloud
was a magnificent electrical effect, the
flashes of light surprising the most
elaborate fireworks. Flames and
flashes continued to burst from the
cloud until nearly midnight. Columns
OF flames shot 'out of the crater of
Mount Pelee to explode about the cloud
in showers of balls of golden fire which
fell through the darkness in myriads of
sparks. A tidal wave rushed upon
Fort de France and the terrified inhab-
itants fed in large numbers to the in
terror. The wave was not severe and
did but slight damage.
In addition to the 200 persons re-
ported to have lost their lives at Le-
Carbet and Mourne Rouge, many other
persons are said to have been killed all
over the northern districts of the
islands. The governor of Martinique
is believed to have started for the scene
of devastation.
When the steamer Korona arrived
here she was covered with ashes.

unexpected situation has resulted from
the ordering out of the National Guard.
The soldiers. whose sympathies we're
with the strikers from the first, have
used their influence with the men who
are at work and have persuaded so
many of them to join the strike that
detachment stationed at Tush Run
had to be recalled and sent to another
point to keep it from emptying the
mine. o.
1t is estimated thatlover a thousand
families have been evicted in the New

destitute families are sleeping out of
doors. Food is scarce and the condi-
tion of the men is pitiable in the ex-
treme. Some of the soldiers have
even shared their food with the unfort.
