LOCALITY OF THE CATACHYsM
Description of the Valley That Was Swept
with Such Deadly Yigor.

Heppner is the center of a large
farming and stock growing country.
The town is built on the banks of the
Willow creek, in the neighborhoOd of
the cOnverging point of four other
mountain streams that drain a large
area of rolling and hilly country that
reaches from three to twenty miles to
the foothills, and along the course of
Willow creek itself for a distance of
twenty-five miles to the baseof the Blue
mountains. To the east and west of
the town, running southwest and south
east, respectively, until they empty
into Willow creek, are two deep
gulches which run back some three
miles along the foothills as they mar
row to form the valley in which the
town is located.
Flowing almost directly south to the
Willow creek, ard joining it half
mile or so above the town, is Balm
creek. which drains in its course to
the foothills for distance of fifteen
miles wide region of hilly country
Next comes the main water course
Willow creek, with an area Of drain
age that extends northeast for a dis
tance of twenty-five miles, to the Blue
mountains. Farther east four miles
is Hinton creek, that runs practically

siding and G4O delegates in attendance.
,The conciliation matter and all other
grievances the different districts want

seven delegates from each district, and
the three district presidents. This
committee met and prepared a report
for revision or adoption ut today's ses-
sion of the convention.
Mitchell Opens the Meeting.
President Mitchell's speech ut the
opening was plain call on the men
to Concede nothing in the matter. He
said the words of the Gray commits
siOn's report justified the action of the
miners, and that Judge Gray himself
had interpreted the report just 3S the
men interpreted it. He said the men
did not receive half they were en-
titled TO I'm the report. but won Il great
moral victory. Secretary George Hart
Iein followed with Il speech, in which
he provoked reSOunding cheers by de-
claring: II can see a six months
strike in every one Of your faces to
get what we are entitled to-" He de-
clared the convention had nothing at
all to do with selecting conciliators
that was already done.

we've had enough of strikes" he was
howled down and n motion made to
eject him. which Mitchell ignored.
Hartlein declared the purposes of the
convention to be to formulate griev-
ances. Many motions were made to
indorse the conciliators appointed by
the district presidents. but Mitchell
ruled them all ont of order I'm one way
or another and finally advised the
convention to leave the matter to the
committee to put into shape and then
take action. This was agreed to and
the convention adjourned for the day.

THEY HAD AN APPEAL TO THE CzAn
Wanted the President TO Get It Before the
Russian Emperor.

Wanted the President TO Get It Before the
Russian Emperor.
They expressed 4 conviction that II
the czar knew of the indignities ana
atrocities practiced upon the unfortun-
ate Jews who were still his loyal sub
jects he would certainly take steps
to alleviate their condition. They said
nothing about the refusal of the Rus
sian government to recognize Jewish
passports. nor did they ask the aid of
the government in the distribution of
funds intended for the relief of the
Kischeneff sufferers.
The president and Secretary Hay lis
tened with the deepest interest and
sympathy TO these representations and
both replied in terms that showed the
depth of their feeling in the matter. 1t
was promised that everything that the
executive could properly do without
violating the principles of international
comfy would be done, but neither
President Roosevelt or Secretary Hay
were able to make any definite promise
beyond this, which was accepted as
satisfactory.
The exact purpose of the committee
was to ask the president and secretary
to help 1t get before the cZar himself
n plea in the matter; Il statement of
facts. showing what atrocities had
been perpetrated; for the committee
declared disbelief in the assertion that
the czar did not know what had been
done-that he had been kept I'm igDor-
ance of the barbarism by his ministry.

say in reply. The interviews with both
the president and Secretary Hay were
extremely satisfactory to the council,
although it soon became apparent that
positive action could not Immediately
be had upon the subjects nearest to
them. namely. the betterment of the
condition of the Jews in Russia.
This Government Can Do Nothing.
The massacres at Kischeneff was
the principal topic of discussion. But
the Jews realized. after what the pres
ident and Secretary Hay had to say,
that there was nothing that this gov
ernment could do ut this moment to
undo what had been done in Bessara-
bia. So looking to the future, the
council besought the president to use
his good offices to secure the ear OF
the ear. They declared that he was
being deliberately kept in Ignorance
by the bureauCrats who surround him
of the terrible treatment that was he
ing meted out to the Jews in every
corner of Russia where they were al
lowed to reside
