KILL AND THEN LOOT.
Chicago HOId.Up Men olive Their Vic.
tins No Warning.

1
Chicago, Sept. 3.-Without a word
OF warning two men were killed and
two others wounded by hold-up men at
the barns Of the Chicago City railway
company, Sixty-6rst and State streets,
at an early hour today. The shooting
was done by three men who escaped
after securing $1,000. Three OF the
men who were shot we're working in
the cashiers Office and the other was a
motorman asleep in the outer Office.
The men in the Office were shot before
they were aware Of the robbers pres
ence and the motorman was killed as
he was rising from a bench where he
had been sleeping.
The robbers took no chances, but dis
posed Of all the opposition OF the en-
ployes before they entered the Office
Choosing the time when employees were
busily engaged in balancing up the re-
ceipts of the night, just after the last
conductor had turned in his money and
left the barns, the robbers suddenly ap-
peared at the receiving window and be-
gan shooting without warning.
Making sure that all opposition had
been removed the robbers then broke
open the door Of the cashiers Office
with sledge hammer and took from
the desk $4,000 in bills. They then
made their escape.
Four men were arrested three hours
later on suspicion Of being implicated
in the crime. They as yet have no.
been identified.

RIVAL TO Bio TRUST.
cattIemen VIII Establish a Large Pack
ing Plant at Kansas City.

Kanss City, Mo-, Sept. 3.-Twenty-
FIVE stockmen from different parts OF
the Western grass country met in this
city today and arranged to perfect the
organization Of packing company to
compete with the alleged packers trust.
The new company was named the Inde-
pendent packing company. Articles
OF incorporation will be drawn up to-
morrow and signed at a meeting to be
held tomorrow afternoon. The COM
pany will have capital stock OF $5,-
900 900, and will be incorporated under
the laws OF Arizona. OF the total cap
italization, 81 per cent will be so dis
posed OF as to be held in escrow by
the board OF directors OF the company.
This will assure stockmen who will in
terest themselves in the plan that the
company will always be controlled Dy
stock interests. The rest of the stock
will be sold to stockmen, If possible,
although no purchaser will be barred.
The division Of stock, as decided
upon today, was made TO prevent any
possibility OF tine alleged packers trust
gaining control Of the new independent
company. Two million OF the stock
will be issued at first. The rest will
be put out later. Formerly 1t was the
plan to include the United States pack
ing comspny, of Pueblo, Colo, in the
scheme. Now it is predicted on good
authority that the Pueblo plant will
never be built, but that its capitaliza-
tion of more than 81 800, 900 will either
be transferred to the Independent pack.
ing company or be allowed to revert
back to the stockmen who subscribed IT,
Charles F. Martin, secretary of the
National livestock association, who was
one of the promoters OF the United
States packing company and a stock
holder, is in Kansas City promoting
the organization Of the Independent
packing company. The Independent
packing company will build one plant
in the Missouri valley, but the exact
location has not yet been decided upon.
1t is to be in operation in the fall OF
next year. Another plant will be built
later, probably in Texas.

TO FIX THE BORDER.
Alaskan Commission Arrives in London
Canadians are There Also.

---~N~-~-
London, Sept. 2 Secretary OF War
Elihu Root. ex-Secretary of State
John W. Foster, Hannis Taylor and
Judge John NJ. Dickinson arrived at
Liverpool on the steamer Celtic today
for the meetings of the Alaskan Bound
ary Commission, which will ofen in
London September 8.
The commissioners are already famil-
lar with the facts of the case, which
we're filed several months ago. At the
first meeting of the commissioners next
Thursday, the Americans and Canadians
will submit their briefs which will be
a condensation OF the facts and argu-
ments regarding the Interpretation Of
the treaty. The Commission will then
announce the day on which the oral
arguments will be heard.
The documents have not yet been
made public, but the Associated Press
correspondent learns that the whole
controversy centers upon Canada's
efforts to acquire an outlet to the sea.
1t is known authoritatively that the
Canadian agent asserts that under the
Russo British treaty of 1926 the line
properly crosses numerous inlets, in.
Guiding the hesdwaters of the Lynn
canal. The contention seems to be
that the inlets less than six miles wide
situated in the disputed region belong
to Canada.
United States Consul Foster vigorous
ly opposes this view holding that the
treaty clearly places the line 80 miles
inland, following the sinuosities OF the
coast, thus separating Canada from all
the arms Of the ocean and putting For.
cupine creek and the gold district un-
der American jurisdiction. The Amer.
ican representatives are confident that
their position is unassailable.

Sofia, Sept. 3.-The Macedonian rev.
olutionists awaited the anniversary of
the sultan's accession to proclaim the

Jankoff is directing the movements of
the bands in the southern part.
1t is reported that Hilmi Pasha, the
inspector general for Macedonia, re-
fuses to leave his headquarters in the
Konakat Monastir. The insurgent
leader, Grueff, in a letter to Helmi
Pasha, demanded that he prevent the
barbarous acts OF the Turkish soldiers
and Bashi Bazouks, otherwise the revo-
lutionists would massacre all the Turk
ieh inhabitants.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
Bio PLANT AT COTTAGE GROVE.
To Work the Largest cinnabar Deposit
In America.

A 300-ton quicksilver plant is going
up on the Black Butte mines near Cot,
tage Grove, in which G. b. Dennis, OF
Spokane, is interested.
-Four years of uninterrupted devel
opment, said Mr.. Dennis" has ex-
posed the most expansive imbedding
OF cinnibar ore on the American con
tinent if not in the world. The work
represents an expenditure Of nearly
$500,O00.
THE Black Butte quicksilver mines
are located in Lane county. some IS
miles from Cottage Grove. During the
four years 10000 feet of work has been
done, which includes a vertical shaft
to the 1000-foot level. At each 100-foot
station drift running on the foot wall
has been driven either side of the shaft
the full length of the pay shoot, 227
feet, and at each level the ledge has
been crosscut for its full width of 80
feet.
The average of the ore is about 16
in quicksilver or $40 a ton, and there
is now blocked out more than $4,000
900 in quicksilver. The present 40
ton smelling or distilling plant is be-
ing enlarged to 300ton capacity and
the mine equipped with a complete
electrical waterpower plant, furnish
ing power and light, which places the
property in position for working upon
very large scale"

.WARAPPEARS SURE
TURKEY AND BULGARIA MAY CLASH
AT ANY MOMENT.
Present Conditions VIII Force This Step
Neither Nation Is Expected to De-
clare HOstilities, But the knowing
Ones Hold That Only a Miracle Can
Prevent Them.

Sofia. Sept. 2.-IH both official and
revolutionary circles the opinion is
freely held that war between Bulgaria
and Turkey is imminent. and can be
averted By nothing short of miracle.
II is not expected either government
will formally declare hostilities, but
that the prevailing conditions will force
on war.
There is no question that large mum.
bers Of insurgents have recently crossed
the frontier. An extensive outbreak in
Northern Macedonia is probable at any
time.
The Autonomy prints a telegram
from Constantinople declaring that the
sultan, influenced by the consuls of
Germany now favors war with Bulgaria.
The Turks here, however, take an
optimistic view, asserting that there is
no danger OF war, as Turkey does not
desire one, and Prince Ferdinand and
the present Bulgarian government are
not in position to force hostilities.
The Bulgarian agent at Uskub re-
ports that detachments OF Turkish
troops sent to garrison the small towns
in that vilayet have spread destruction
along their route; the VILLAGERS have
been robbed and beaten, the women as
saulted and the Christian population
subjected to every conceivable outrage.
The local authorities appear to be help.
less to stop the atrocities. At the vii.
lage OF Rachme, six miles from Uskub,
the soldiers attacked all the peasants
without the gendarmes interfering on
behalf OF the latter.
The Bulgarian agent specifies similar
excesses in many villages, and the po-
sition OF the Bulgarian residents is re-
ported to be terrible, as the crueIties
committed by the Turkish authorities
exceeded all limits. Up to o'clock
this evening Prince Ferdinand had not
arrived in Sofia, and the court officials
here declare they are without informa.
ton as to his movements.

WANT NO CHANGE OF RULE.
Danish West Indies Board Finds PEOPLE
Are Well Satisfied.

Berlin, Sept. 2.-The National lei
tung says the Danish West Indian COM
mission is said to have reported as fol-
lows to Finance Minister Hage:
"The population of the islands is sat-
isfied to remain under Danish rule.
The whites hope from the newly awak-
ened interest Of Denmark In the island
an improvement OF economic conditions
and the fostering Of civiizing influences.
The negroes, for the greater part, are
Indifferent, and know but little about
Denmark. The administration Of the
islands was found to be impractical
and expensive and the hygienic condit-
ions entirely unsatisfactory"
1t is believed, says the National Zie-
tung, that the commission will report
in favor OF reducing the military estab-
lishment on the islands and reorganiz-
ing the gendarmerie on modern lines.
The report will also suggest that more
attention be paid to public instruction,
the improvement of the hospitals, the
tobacco growing industry and the rails
ing of corn. The commission places
great weight ON the necessity of COM
munication between the islands them
selves end with Denmark. The hope
is expressed that the exports Of the is
lands can be developed, and in this
connection hopes are based on the new
ly formed West Indian steamship and
land company.

WARNER VALLEY CONTROVERSY.


A number of residents of Warner
Valley, Lake County, were in Salem
recently to interview members OF the
state land board regarding the out
come Of the controversy over the pos
session of their homes. The litigation
before the federal land department re-
suited in favor of the, Warner Valley
Stock company. The settlers claimed
as homesteaders while the company
claimed under a purchase from the
state under the swamp land laws. The
settlers, having been defeated, asked
the board to aid them in retaining the
homes they had taken. The board list
ened to arguments and has taken the
matter under advisement. In the
meantime, Governor Chamberlain tele
graphed the federal land department
not to issue patent conveying the
land to the state until he requested it..
The land company cannot secure title
to the land until patent issues to the
state.

HARD ON FOREIGNERS.
Venezuelan Government Furnishes All
Who May Present Claims.


Willemstad, Island OF Curacao, Sept.
q Harsh justice is being meted out to
foreigners residing In the interior Of
Venezuela, where the local authorities
are hunting down all foreigners who
dare to present claims against Venezu-
ella in accordance with the recent pro-
tocol.
Near Coroa, a local tribunal refused
to accept the testimony Of five Italians.
On the latter insisting on rendering
their depositions, three were arrested
and thrown into Jail. Two Of them
attempted to escape and were fred up
on, one being killed. The Venezuelan
government does not deny this occur
renee, but is doing all it can to pre-
vent a repetition.
1t is learned on good authority that
letters sent to foreigners from the Ital.
ian and other legations instructing
them to send in their claims we're
seized in the posts so as TO prevent the
claims from arriving at Caracas in due
time.

Brick supply EQUALS Demand.

The force of workmen has complet.
ed the burning of kiln of 100000
bricks, and now the supply of material
is sufficient to keep construction work
in progress at the penitentiary, reform
school and asylum At each of these
places the new buildings and addi-
tions are under construction. Super
intendent James says that although the
contract for the construction of an ex-
ecution chamber at the prison does not
require its completion before January
|, the building will be ready for use
before that time, and, so far as he can
see now, it will be ready before the
date of any hanging now in prospect.

TEN THOUSAND FOR SHOW.

MuItnomah Boys Spending This Sum on
PortIand's Big Fall Carnival.
Ten thousand dollars is the sum be-
ing expended by the Multnomah ath
letic club on Portland's big fall carni-
val, September IA to 26 inclusive and
1t is safe to say that the biggest and
best show Of the kind ever seen on the
Pacific coast will be that in September.
The giants from the athletic field will
be there and lovers OF athletic events
will have an opportunity to see the big
fellows contest for prizes. Low rates
have been granted by the railroads and
the attendance no doubt will be very
large. The boys have decided to make
very day a special day and this will
be something of an innovation in the
way of a carnival.

Much BulIdlrp at Ashland.

1t is estimated that the value of
building improvements just completed,
or now under way, in Ashland will
reach $4,000, and the high tide of
building activity in that city for the
past two or three years promises to
be equaled before the close of the pres
ent season. A number of new business
buildings have recently been complet-
ed and many new and substantial resi-
dences are now in course of coAstruc-
tion throughout the city.
