Heppner, Ore, March 27, 1903.
The "sealed bid" system Of selling
wool, originated by US last season,
proved 50 profitable to the woolgrowers
that we will continue the same method
this season, and the following dates
have been named for sales days at
Heppner: June , and 3 and June %
and a. when we expect a larger de'ega-
ton OF Eastern buyers than last year.
We are already in receipt ofle.ters from
several Eastern firms asking to be ad-
vised Of dates when sales will be held,
expressing satisfaction at the fair treat
ment extended 10 them last season, and
assuming us that their representative

TALK OF EARLY SESSION.
Congress May Consider Cuban Bill
November

Washington, April 5.-There is more
talk about an extra session OF Congress
to be held during the coming Fall, to
enable the House OF Representatives to
add Its seal of approval to the Cuban
reciprocity treaty. The prompt action
of the Cubans to accept the treaty, as
adopted by the Senate, and the ex-
pressed wish of the Cuban people to
haye early action in the House, in order
to make the treaty applicable as early
as possible, are two things which
strengthen the belief that an extra
session may be called. There has been
more or less talk against a session in
October, as it is said the presence OF
Senators and Representatives will be
needed in the field in that month.
In view Of this fact political mathema-
ticans and prophets are now predicting
that an extra session will be called to
meet on Monday, November 9, i'm
mediatey after the Fall elections.
Should Congress assemble on that date,
there would be three weeks IN which to
enact the necessary legislation, and this
time is believed to be ample for its
passage. Nothing else but the Cuban
treaty would be considered, and the
Senate, haying already adopted the
treaty. it is difficult to see how action
could be prevented. Few members in
deed are given three weeks consldera-
ton in the House, under the rules there
in force, and while there is danger
that the forces that defeated the Cuban
reciprocity bill in the first session OF the
last Congress might rise up and vote
down treaty legislation, it is not
probable that such thing will be done,
in view of the growing sentiment
throughout the country in favor of
Cuban reciprocity.
All in all, November seems very
satisfactory date for calling an extra
session, so it would afford all the time
actually required, and at the same time
give the Cubane the benefit of the treaty
when they come to market their sugar
crop of this year.

From January l. 1902, to March 81,
l9O3-a period OIL months-the popula
tion of Oregon has increased more than
A 900. Unquestionably the immigra
ton Huring that period has been larger
than in any of the Is months in the
history of the state, and the heavy tide
is lust setting in. Figures from all sec
lions OF the state obtained by correspond
,ents of The Oregonian are subjoined.

are, at best, only Cd estimates, but it
goes without saying that in no instance

Oregon in June, 1900, had popula-
zion Of 4l3 1856. Natural increase is
about % per cent a year. Adding the
immigration in the - months from
June 1900, to January |, 1902, which
was probably not less than Is 900, it may
safely be set down that Oregon's popula-
ton today exceeds 100000

GREAT FUTURE FOR CHINA.

Washington, April 3-Chen Tung
LANG Cheng, the Chinese Minister to
the United States with his entire suite
and party reached Washington tonight.
The Minister and his suite went at once
to his Legation. He expressed the hope
that, as a result of his services here, the
friendly relations between China and
the United States would be greatly
strengthened and said he would try to
be instrumental in bringing about that
desirable end He said:
~ have great hopes for the future Of
China. The governments is paying par
ticular attention to the question of the
education of the Younger generation.
That has more to do with it's progress
and advancement than anything else.
The sending of so many young men
here, who are to be followed by others
in the near future, is of the most sig
niicant nature. A new era is dawning
for China aud there are bright prospects
for the future"
Regarding the troubles in Kwanesi
Province, in Southern China, Sir Lirng
said that they are largely of an internal
character and are exaggerated. He said
he had no doubt of the ability OF the
government to put them down."

LOCK JAW MAY
CAUSE DEATH
Of Albert West of 2003 Ham
cock Avenue.
RESULT OF YAWNING
Muscles We're Strained and
Body Became Rigid.

Lockjaw caused by yawning may cause
the death of Albert West. the manager
of the pump shop on South Main street
who resides at 2O03 Hancock avenue,
West Side.
Friday evening Mr.. West yawned, and
soon after experienced some pain in the
jaws. He thought nothing of it until
the next morning, when the pain became
almost unbearable. A physician was
called and he thought that the muscles
had been strained and that the pain
would pass off in short time. The
jaws were not thrown out OF the socket
Saturday evening the jaws became set
and the physicians at that time decided
that it Was purely a case of lockJaw
The pair was terrible but the physi-
clan was unable to aid the young man
in any way. The best of medical skill
was called into consultation but no rem
edy has yet been found to relieve the
pain or cause the muscles to relax and
allow the jaws to open so that he could
take food or medicine.
Yesterday the case. assumed a more
serious aspect. The rigidity manifested
in the jaws began TO spread and last
night almost the entire body had become
rigid, and this was gradually spreading
over the heart and abdominal regions,
with but slight chance for relief.
Although every known means has been
used to relieve the young man from the
pain and stop the muscles from the
body becoming rigid so far the efforts
have proved futile, and last night almost
all hope for his life was given up. The
young man can hardly survive many
hours with the muscles of almost the en-
tire body rigid and hard as stone. with
no means of giving him nourishment or
medicine.
Albert West is one of the best known
young men in Wichita. For a number Of
years he has been connected with his
father in making and selling pumps and
like goods. and at his fathers death
some months ago took hold of the bust
ness and has been conducting 1t. He
makes his home with his mother and SIS
ter on the West Side Living here near
ly all his life and a number of years in
business life, he has met many people
His friends are numbered by hundreds,
especially on the West Side, and he
commands the respect of every one. He
is a young man of much ability and Is a
steadfast friend. Many anxious friends
made inquiry at the home yesterday
and but little assurance could be offered
them. Late last night no change was
reported in his condition.
