Board Of Trade Formed.

The new industries inaugurated in
Jacksonville and vicinity are showing
results which indicate a revival of the
old time prestige and prosperity OF
the place. The three great numbering
mills directly tributary to it, the pro-
duct of which all centers here; the
large manufacturing plant, planning
mill and box factory in operation in
town, the completion of the general
gas plant, and many other contemplate
ed improvements have inspired renew
ed confidence in the place, and bust
ness men were never doing better or
were more hopeful for the future than
at the present time. AS an evidence
of the prosperity and confidence OF
business men in the future of the
place, a board of trade has been re-
Gently organized under the most fav'
orable auspices.

TREATY DEFEATED
COLOMBIAN SENATE TURNS DOWN
CANAL BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.
Peoples Hopes of Better Times are Shat
tered for Time Being President Can
Now Turn TO Nicaragua Route, But
VIII Probably Make Another Effort
to Acquire Panama Right Of Way.

Washington, Aug. I9.-Oficial in
formation was received today that the
Colombian senate had unanimously re-
iected the Hay -Herran canal treaty.
This means more delay in providing
the waterway the Pacific coast 30 earn
estly desires. 1t is a blow, and a
hard one, too, to the Colombians who
have invested in real estate on the sup
position that the treaty would be rati-
nod. The non-success of the treaty
would seem to vindicate the advocates
OF the Nicaragua scheme. The Panama
canal proposition has served it's purpose

Before the United States took IN
Panama. and while it had never com.
mitted itself to the Panama route. it
might have been able to have made sat-
isfactory arrangements with Nicaragua
and Costa Rica. Now that the United
States is shut out OF Colmobia, the de-
mands OF Nicaragua and Costa Rica
will, no doubt, be largely increased, as
that is the only route left under the
present arrangement.
There is talk about the province of
Panama seeding from Colombia, and
establishing itself as a separate state,
in which event it could negotiate a
treaty with the United States for a
canal. That may be introduced as an
other element of delay in canal con-
struction, which will be on a par with
the subterfuges that have been used for
many years to prevent anything being
done. Under the law the president
can at once begin negotiations with
Nicaragua and Costa Rica, but some
time ago he gave an intimation that
the United States, by negotiations
with the Panama canal company and
Colombia, had acquired certain rights
in the canal property. This did no
good, 80 far as indicating that an at
tempt might be made to enforce the
rights regardless of the adoption of the
treaty by the Colombian goyernmenk.
still, there was an intimation that the
Colombian congress was not all-power.

The administration has for a long

Hong Kong, Aug. 20.-The Canadian

hama, August 10, for Hong Kong, col
lided ne r this port today with the Chi

ARMY WANTS PLACE.
Holds That Some General Should Be on
Philippine Board.

Philippine Board.
Washington, Aug. 20.--There is q
good deal of speculation in army cir
cles here upon the effect of impending
change in the war department. Nat
urally, attention is directed mainly to-
ward the Philippines. where active con-
struction work remains to be done.
This fact, it is assumed, lies at the bot
tom of the presidents selection Of Gov
ernor Taft as successor to Mr.. Root.
That Secretary Taft and Lieutenant
Governor Wright, who Is expected to
succeed Taft, will be able to carry for
ward without break the civil work be-
gun by Secretary Root and Governor
TAFT is taken for granted.
Less clear ia the prospect for the
purely military service that remains
to be done in the hipelago under the
new regime. One of the most import.
ant subjects for consideration by the
new general staff of the army concerns
military affairs in the Philippines,
which should be provided in the way
of transportation, Capitalization and
specific administration, with especial
view to prompt and effective action in
case of an uprising too large to be
handled by any but federal troops.
In private conversation more than
one officer Of rank has expressed the
opinion that 1t would be wise for the
administration. when Taft is succeeded
by Wright, to fll the vacancy on the
Philippine commission by appointing
general of the line. II is suggested
also that the military member should
become ex-officio minister OF war in the
insular cabinet.

Salem Mills May Burn OIL.

The management of the Salem wool
en- mills have been figuring for some
time on the substitution of oil for
wood for fuel in the mill. The rapid
advance in the price of wood has made
It desirable to find a cheaper fuel. The
only difficulty encountered was in the
expense of getting the oil delivered
here, and when the oil company has
completed its arrangements for stor-
ihg oil at Portland 1t is thought this
difficulty can be met.

Rome, Aug. l9.-The pope at s

Harty, who yesterday was consecrated
archbishop of Manila, with whom he
spoSe at length about the situation in

cation Of the archipelago and the tri-
umph OF Catholicism would always re-
ceive the wsrmest support at Rome.
Archbishop Harty then presented to
the pontiff his secretary, Mgr. Fowler,

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON

Prune Growers Of willamette Valley Pro-
pose to Organize Company.

Prune Growers Of willamette Valley Pro-
pose to Organize Company.
At meeting Of prune growers held
in Salem few days ago, movement
was started for the organization of a
mutual insurance company, for the in.
surance Of prune dryers. The growers
were agreed that the insurance com.
panies charge too high rate of pre-
MUM for this class OF risks, and that
the cost would be greatly reduced by
cooperative action. A committee to
report plan Of organization was ap-
pointed, consisting Of John Pemberton,
chairman, Rosedale; w. S. Wright,
Roseburg; Augustus High, Vancouver;
A. Shiber. Philomath; Mr.. Blanchard,
Salem; H. s. Gile, Salem; H. J. Eur
cher, Liberty.
II Is intended that the insurance as
sociation shall accept members
throughout Oregon and Washington,
and transact general business only
on prune dryers and warehouses. The
new organization will have no connec.
tion with any of the other prunegrow
ers' associations.

Preparing to Rebuild.

The Oregon City manufacturing
company has asked for bids for the
construction of buildings at its woolen
mill plant in that city to replace the
one that was burned last month, The
cost will approximate 100000. Most
of the buildings will be Of wood and
corrugated iron and the principal
structures will be three stories high,
and will be directly connected to the
main building. The management of
the mills expects to resume operations
in this city October Is. An automatic
device at cost of $4,000 will be pro-
cured to pour water on incipient fires.

italy Expects War,

Rome, Aug. 19.-Tbe memorandum
of the Bulgarian government to the
powers regarding the situation in Ma
cedonia has produced a great effect
here. The general impression is that
the Bulgarian government is no longer
able to hold back popular feeling,
which. unless it is repressed in time,
will lead 10 a war with Turkey. The
fate OF Bulgaria in that event. it is
thought, would probably be the same
as that of Greece in the last war with
Turkey. The Italian government is ex-
changing views with Vienna and London

FRAUD IN CITY OFFICE.

New York, Aug. 1S.-Evidence of
fraud by which the city has lost sums
aggregating almost $1,000, 900, have
been obtained by Water Commissioner
Monroe. Three inspectors in the wat
er department are under suspicion.
One probably will be called upon to
face charges within a few days. The
facts disclosed are said to show gross
carele.sness, II nothing worse, on the
part Of many trusted employees Of the
water department. In some cases
there is the strongest circumstantial
evidence of collusion between consum-
ers of water and employees of the de-
partment, whereby the former appar-
emily have been allowed to use ali the
water they required in their business
and, on the payment of merely nomi-
nal fees. instead OF the price fixed by
ordinance.
