RAID ON BOSTON CHINESE.
Three Hundred without Certificates
Taken to Police Station.

Boston, Oct 14-The murder of
Wong Yak Chung, in Chinatown, two
weeks ago, the result, it is claimed of
the highbinders' plot, was followed to-
night by general raid on the section,
under the direction of immigration
Commissioner Billings. Nearly 800
Celestials unable to produce certificates
of registration were taken to the deten-
tion-room at the Federal building
The only accident that occurred during
the raid was the overturning of
loaded barge containing 80 Cinnamon
and several policemen. Two policemen
and number of the Cinnamon were
badly bruised.
Eevry resort was visited. The ap-
pearance of the officers was followed
by rush into the streets, but the fee
ing Cinnamon found every means of
exit closed. They were gathered up by
the score.
Five patrol wagons were inadequate
in transporting the prisoners to the
Federal building, and milk wagons,
barge and an electric car were pressed
into service. TheS barge had hardly
moved dozen feet;when it overturned,
and the occupants, consisting of so
Cinnamon and Is policemen and two
drivers, were thrown. into the street in
confused mass.

NOT TOO LATE YET.
War Between Russia and Japan Can be
Very Easily Prevented,

Berlin, Oct. 13.-Russia and Japan
act as though either would fight if the
other should hold immovably to the
position taken at the last exchange of
communications. This is the actual
situation as understood officially from
reports received from the German en-
bassy at St. Petersburg and the German
legation at Toxic. Yet this mutual at
titnde at hostile preparations by both
countries is still regarded here as not
an honorable arrangement.
Neither government has gone so far
that it must fight or be humiliated, but
either cabinet by a single step can put
the other in that position. This deli
cate balance may, of course, be violent
ly disturbed any day, though no ulti-
matum has yet been thrown on either
side.
1t is believed here officially that war,
should it occur, would be between Rus
sia and Japan alone, and that neither
England nor France would be involved.

GOLD ON OWL CREEK.
Montana Ledge Said to Be 1900 Feet
Wide and Very Rich.

Butte, Mont, Oct. "A special to
the Miner from Hamilton says: This
city is wild with excitement over a
great gold discovery made on Owl
creek, few miles from here. A regu-
lar stampede is on. If half of what is
said be true, it is the biggest strike in
Montana in many years.
Mr.. Cross, representing New York
syndicate, made the discovery on
August % last. He returned to Ham
ilton and wired to the New York peo-
pie what he had found. His syndicate
sent an expert at once. Tihrty-eight
claims were located for the New York
concern.
They say the ledge is fully 1900 feet
wide and that there is ore enough in
sight to keep 50-stamp mill running
for 10 years without doing any under
ground mining. Assays run from $1O7
to 81 900 in gold to the ton.
The expert claims all of the ore will
run at least $25 to the ton. From one
phenomenally rich streak of the ore, 18
pounds gave from $500 to $500 in gold.

UTAH CONVICT REcApTURED.
Weary and Famished, He Yields to
Constable Without a Struggle.

Salt Lake, Oct. 14.-Famished with
hunger, his limbs torn and bleeding
from contact with the thorny under
brush through which he plunged in his
mad flight for freedom, Nick Haworth,
one of the two convicts who escaped
from the state prison near here Friday
night, was today recaptured in cabin
less than a dozen miles from the peni-
tentiary. Contrary to expectation,
Haworth made no resistance and meek
ly complied with the command to sur
render.
The arrest was made shortly before
noon by Constable Nelson, assisted by
three citizens from the little village of
Halliday. Haworth's presence in the
locality was first discovered by the 16-
year-old son of Constable Nelson. He
Immediately notified his father. who
selected three reliable men, armed
them with shotguns and drove to the
cabin, expecting Haworth to give bat
tie. The latter, however, quietly SUBJ
mitted to arrest. He was taken back
to the penitentiary, locked in muir
derer's cell and double guard placed
over him.
James Lynch, the other condemned
prisoner, who escaped, is still at large,
but prison officials look for his early
capture.

RICH BOHEMIA LEDGE.
Shows Thousands of Tons of Quartz
Carrying 81.

Eugene-Informatio has been re-
ceived at the office of the North Fair
view Mining company, in this city, of
a very rich strike that has been made
in the Belle of Fairview claim, in the
Bohemia district, showing probably the
largest deposit of free-milling ore ever
struck in this section.
Tunnels and shafts already made,
block out over 100 900 tons of oxidized
decomposed quartz, carrying an aver
age of 81 per ton in free gold. The
ledge is a great true fssure, and is
from 18 to 40 feet wide where it has
been opened. In the different cross
tunnels the ore shows continuous crop
pings for $500 feet over on the west
slope of Fairview mountain, and from
the present indications there are over
900, 900 tons of the same quality as
that already blocked out, and the vein
is 40 feet wide at the west end of the
claims, where tunnel on the vein
will tap the ore body at a vertical
depth of 200 feet.
This ore can be mined and milled for
$1.50 per ton, which leaves a hand
some profit for the owners.

Admiral Kempff Retires.

San Francisco, Oct. 14.-Admiral
Louis Kempff went on the retired list
of the United States navy today. Ad-
miral Kempff was in command of the
American Aisatic squadron during the
Chinese boxer trouble. He was the
only one of the commanders of the fleets
of the different nations who stood out
against the occupation of the Chinese
forts at Taku, and held aloof until a
shot struck the Monacacy. Deeming
this direct insult to the flag, he con-
sidered it necessary to join in the hos
tilities.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
SMELTER FOR UNION.
Great Plant to Be Installed Shortly In
Eastern Oregon.

| Union-The, ,consummation of one of
the most gigantic mining propositions
ever promoted in Union county, if not
in the entire state, was announced here
few days ago. George H. Downs, the
mining promoter, who has been max
ing the town of North Powder his head
quarters the past two years while at
work upon this big deal, stated that
his project has the backing of New
York capitalists, and that the matter
has reached the point of certainty of
contamination.
The company has just perfected it's
incorporation, and the articles will be
filed with the county clerk here and
with the secretary of state. The name
of the corporation is the Eastern Oregon
Mining, Milling, Transportation, Smelt-
ing & Generating company. The capi-
tai stock is placed at $5, 100000 The
first officers of the corporation will be:
II. o. Gorham, president and treasurer;
w. H. Gorham, 9ice-president and
George H. Downs, secretary and gen.
eral manager.
The company proposes to erect $50
ton smelter near the town of North
Powder, in Union county, about Is
miles south. of Union, for treating all
the various grades of gold and copper
ores found in the southern part of
Union county and northern part of
Baker county, and in order to bring
such ores to the reduction works it is
proposed to build number of short
electric lines to the mines, covering
distance of over SO miles.
These lines are to be built not only
for carrying ores, but passengers and
freight as well. Manager Downs de-
clined to give particulars as to the
routes of the lines, but says the entire
project is certainty.

These fraudulent pardons were sent

dent, but by whom and with whose as
sistance the forgeries were perpetrated
are questions not yet solved. An in

Seeding Season at pendleton.

Pendleton-This is the busy season
for the farmers of this portion of the
Blue mountains district. Not for
years has wheat been PLANTED soa early
as it is this year. Some of the grain
is already above the ground and so rap
idly are the farmers rushing the work
all seeding will be completed by the
end of this month. The rains of a few
days ago put the ground in excellent
condition. The acreage planted this
year is about the same as last year.
Some of the wheat this year, however,
was spring sown, but there will be less
of that for the 1904 crop.

RUSSIA BLAMRS POWERS.
China, Japan and Britain Held to Have
Caused the Present Dispute.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 15.-The foreign
office says it has no official confrma-
tion of the reported Decentralization of
Japanese troops at Masampho. Re-
garding Manchuria, the foreign office
states the question is at present closed.
The existing situation is the fault of
the Chinese, Japanese and British. If
China desired to reopen the negotia-
tions and accept certain conditions, the
situation could be still changed, as
Russia is not rooted to the soil, and
could leave if she liked.
Russia is now transporting $4,000
troops, nurses and hospital supplies to
the far east. The present strength of
the Russian army there is reliably re-
ported to be 283, 900 men. officers de-
tailed for duty in the Orient have been
forbidden to take their wives.

Richards Urges Change i'm Present Law
Points Out Defects of rIeasure-
Up Valuable Lands for Individual Who
Will Advance Necessary Money.

Washington, Oct. 14.-In his forth
coming annual report, Land Commits
sioner Richards will present forcefu
argument in favor of the radical modi
fication of the timber and stone act
He builds his argument upon the show.
ing of rapidly increasing timber entries
in late years. Out of 19, 741, $50 acres
of public lands entered during the past
year, / ,765 ,222 were covered by timber
entries, or more than three times the
area of timber entries in the preceding
year. This growth is the better appre-
ciated when it is known that in the 25
years the timber and stone act has been
operative less than 100000 acres all
told have been entered under its pro-
visions
Commissioner Richards objects to
the timber and stone act because it al
lows entrymen, largely spectators, to
acquire for $3.50 an acre lands that are
easily worth 800.
'There is no doubt that the law is
being taken advantage of by speculators
who are getting rich at the expense of
the government, and of the men for
whose benefit the law was primarily
passed." says he "It is right that
this timber should be- cut and used
commercially, but the government
shouldsget an adequate return for part
ing with its property. Matured tim
Der should be cut when ripe, therefore,
l would not favor law that proposed
to cut off all sales, but I believe the
present law is defective and should be
The government has more
timber land than all the lumber COM
panies own together, and it would not
be just to put fence about the forests
and forbid cutting.
"When one observes the character of
claims that are being fled" continued
Commissioner Richards, ''little argu-
ment is needed to convince him that
these lands are being taken up for the
benefit of syndicates and corporations
and not the individual claimants. For
example, a carload of people will leave
cross the continent and scat
ter in the hills of Oregon. Immediate
ly we will receive claims for 16O acres
of land, the number of claims corre-
spending exactly with the number of
passengers that boarded the west bound
train. Each claim will be accompanied
by check for $4O0, and on investiga-
ton we find that many of the claimants

Naturally, we scent collusion, and all
the claims are held for further inquiry.

TO TEACH FARMING.
A New Study for Common School Course
Is Proposed.

Salem-The teaching of the elements
of agriculture in the common schools
of Oregon is advocated by superinten-
dent of Public Instruction J. H. Acker-
man. The purpose of the introduction
of this study woHld not be to teach
the children the technical side of scien-
tific farming, but rather to give them
an understanding of such elementary
facts and principles as every person
who resides in an agricultural country
should know. Superintendent Acker-
man believes that at some future time
such a study should be placed in the
common school course, and that before
the teaching of this branch is COM
menced, time should be given for the
teachers to prepare for the work they
will be required to do. He would have
every applicant for teachers certif-
cate take an examination in the SUBJ
ject of elements of agriculture.
