Paris, Aug. l2.--An awful Catastro-
phe occurred last evening on the Met
ropolitan electric railway, which runs
mostly underground, in which 90 per-
sons are believed to have lest their
lives. Eighty-two bodies. have been
recovered and the search continues.
One Of the trains broke down at Menil-
montant, which is poor and populous
section of the city. This train was
promptly emptied, and the train which
followed was ordered to push it to the
repairing sheds. On the way these two
trains caught fire, but the employees
succeeded in escaping. Meanwhile a
crowded train reached Les Charonnes,
the preceding station, and the officials
seeing smoke pouring out of the tun-
mel, gave the alarm. A panic ensued,
the passengers struggling to escape.
Amid the increasing smoke many at
tempted to return along the line toward
Belleville and were suffocated. The
officials seem to have lost their heads
and are unable to say how many pas
sengers went out. The fremen for sew
eral hours we've unable to enter the sta

smoke, which poured out in black
clouds. Meanwhile tens of thousands
of anxious people gathered about the
station. All the police and fire engines
were on the spot and the excitement
was intense,

HAPPENINGS HERE in OREGON
MAY BE FOREST RESERVE.
Commissioner Richards Gives Reasons
for Withholding Large Tract.

Register Dresser, of the Oregon
City land Office, has received from
Commissioner w. A. Richards, of the
United States land Office, letter re-
lative to the telegram of recent date
Withdrawing certain public lanes in
that district from settlement. The
letter directs the withdrawal, tenn
porarily, of all vacant unappropriated
lands in townships to 13 south, both
inclusive, range east, from settle
ment entry. sale or other disposal,
under the public land laws, pending
the determination as to the advis-
ability of including said area within
the Cascade range forest reserve.
Regarding the rights of settlers
who have already located on lands in
cluded in the specified area, Commits
sioner Richards says:
Neither this temporary withdraw
al nor the permanent reserve of the
lands which may follow will affect
any bona fide settlement or claim
properly initiated upon the lands
prior to the date hereof, provided
that the settler or claimants continue
to comply with the law under which
their settlement or claims were ini-
tiated, and place their claims duly on
record within the prescribed stat
utory period. The withdrawal oper-
ates to defeat all settlement claims or
other claims initiated subsequent to
this date, regardless of the date upon
which you receive the telegram"

cATTLEMEN REFUSE TO SELL.


Never in the history of the country
around Dale has the cattle market
been as unsettled as it is at the pres.
ent time. Prices offered by export
buyers are extremely low, and the
cattle raisers are refusing to sell.
Crowding on top of this, there is a
scarcity of hay as compared with last
year, and prices are running noun
tain high. Hay is selling in the field
at $40 per ton, which is 81 higher
than it was last fall. Cattle-raisers
who have not sufficient supply are
trying to contract for all they can Sc
cure, but the farmer will not sell.
Again there are more cattle on the
range this year than last, without suf-
ficient feed for them. Notwithstand-
ing the discouraging state of affairs
which confront the cattleman, he is
willing to wait for further develop
ments.
The export cattle-buyers who have
been in the country have had to go to
other parts because they could not Sc
cure the cattle here. The buyers
give Portland quotations here at S2.7O
per hundred for cows and $3.95 for
steers. The average is $3.75, and
even better prices than that were re-
ceived last year. If both the buyer
and the seller continue to hold out, 1t
is believed that there will be "a num-
ber of forced sales on the part of the
stockmen. and that they will sell at
O loss to themselves.

Silver Bow county Jail shortly after 6
O'Clock this evening, without any diff

rick Rodgers. Frank Oestroff is
wanted in Cheyenne for holding up a
stage coach. The latter end Joe Rod
gers were caught within an hour after
they escaped. 0estroff was armed.
Oestroff and Rodgers planned the de-
livery. 0estroff complained of being
sick and a doctor was called in. When
the jailor opened the corridor, Oestroff
dropped a revolver on Jailor William
Dolan, and then took the keys from
him. Oestroff then, with the aid of
Joe Rodgres, opened the cells of the
prisoners, and the jailor was overpow-
cred.
0estroff kept Dolan at bay while the
other prisoners walked out of the Jail.
One Of them secured a revolver from
the jailor's office. Lsnox and Martin
went out the rear way of the Jail, and
the others cody walked out the main
entrance. 0estroff was run down by q
horsemsn, and was completely ex-
hausted when caught.

DAILY ATTENDANCE SMALLER.
Though OregOn's School Population Has
Greatly Increased.

Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion J. H. Ackerman has just finished
compiling the annual school statis-
tics as gathered from the reports re-
Gently filed in his Office by the sever
al county superintendents. AS the re-
ports for last year covered a period
of 16 months, there is no basis for
comparisons except in few partic.
ulars.
The school census for the year end
ing in June, 1908, shows that there
are in the state 143,757 persons be-
tween the ages of and 20 years. At
the same time last year the school
population was 1873, S,466, 90 that an in
crease OF 1921 is shown.
The average daily attendance in all
the public schools of the state during
the preceding year has been 64,219,
while for the preceding year it was
66,779, or a decrease of 1850. A de-
crease in the average daily attend
ance at the same time that there is
an increase in the school population
is probably due to the scarcity of
labor and the high wages, which, to-
gether, take many of the older boys
out of school during the greater part
of the year.

CASHIER RoBS BANK.
Flees After Losing $4,000 Gambling
on Grain:


Circleville, o., Aug. 13.-John K.
Brown, cashier Of the Union bank at
New Holland, O., is missing, and it
said there is shortage of nearly $751;
900 in hi accounts. The bank vaults
were not opened at the usual hour this
morning as Brown had the combina-
tion. An expert from Canton, o.,
opened the safe thia evening in the
presence of the directors, and only $458
in coin was found.
The books show deposits OF $3.50, 900
one week ago, and also show $4,000
in loans. ASHER Browns shortage
will probably be in the neighborhood
of SIS, 900. The shortage, go far, foots
up 50,542, and an examination OF the
books may show heavier losses.
The bank is an incorporated concern,
which, under the Ohio laws, makes
each stockholder liable for double the
amount of his shares up to the amount
OF any shortage that may occur.
The Union bank was established IS
years ago, and has had prosperous ex-
istence. Brown has been cashier since
its existence. The bank has been pay.
ing regular dividends since its opening.
It is said Brown has been speCulating
in the grain market with bucket shops
at Washington.

POPE'S HEART WEAK.
Doctors VIII insist on His Suspension Of
Audiences.

Rome, Aug. 13.-Pope Plus, who
tainted while celebrating mass this
morning, is suffering from heart weak
ness, aggravated by fatigue. Although
he was much better this afternoon, DR..
Lapponi, who visited him again,
thought it more prudent for his holi-
ness not leave his apartment, and not
to go into the garden OF the vatican, as
he desired. The doctor further insist
ed upon suspension Of audiences.
The pontiff seems more docile to the
doctors wishes than his predecessor,
although he insisted on transactinR
some current business.
T. Davenozia, speaking about the
pope, said:
''It they wish our Plus not to sue
cumb, the vatican authorities must
change their system. They must not
oblige him to follow the habits Of Pope
Leo. The present pontiff needs es-
pecislly plenty Of fresh air. He must
not be shut up in box in a vitiated
atmosphere.

LIBERTY VERY BRIEF.
Murderers Break Jail at cbeysnne, Wyo,
Fierce Struggle With JaiIor.

Cheyenne, Wyo.. Aug. l2.--Tom
Horn, the condemned murderer of lit
tie Willie Nickel. and Jim McCloud,
in custody for postofice robbery, es-
capped from the county Jail at $40
O'Clock this morning after overpowering
Deputy Sheriff Proctor, but were recap
tuTed after brief but exciting chase.
The ringing of fire bells brought hun
dreds Of armed citizens to the scene
and it looked for time as though q
lynching would take place, but the es-
capes we're hurriedly brought back to
the Jail and placed in their cells bes
fore the crowds could form themselves
into mob. The men did not get but
two blocks away before they were re-
taken.
The plot which led to their escape
was we'll planned. Horn and MeCloud
we're the only prisoners confined on
the upper floor of the jail. They oc-
cupied steel cells, so arranged that
communication was ccmuaratively
easy. This morning McCloud COM
planned to Deputy Proctor of being i'll
and requested some medicine and a
glass of water. Uponsreturning with
the articles asked for, he discovered
that the men had left their cells,
which were not locked, and had walked
to the end of the corridor through
which they were allowed to exercise.
When Proctor opened the door to the
corridor, he was pounced upon by the
two men and securely bound with a
cord which they had secured in some
manner. Horn and McCloud demand
ed that he give them his keys and al
though Proctor had them on his person.
he replied that they were locked up IN
the safe.
Proctor was then conducted to the
safe and directed to open it. The or
der was obeyed, but On opening the
safe, Proctor snatched from inside a
gun and turned on the msn. They
were too quick for him, however, and
soon bore him down. In the brief
Proctor fred his revolver at
them four times slightly wounding
McCloud.
The shooting attracted the attention
Of Deputy Snow, who FASTENED to the
scene, but was met at the doorway by
who had secured possession
OF shotgun in some manner. Snow
retreated and Horn and McCloud es-
capped through rear door of the Jail,
after binding the arms of Deputy Proc
tor. McCloud secured the only horse
in the sheriff's stable and mounted the
animal and started toward the west.
Horn ran in the opposite direction.

Bio PROFITS IN PARTING.
willamette valley Ranchers VIII Do
Well This Year.

Willamette valley farmers are re-
joicing over the prospect for good
profits in almost every thing they
have to sell this year. Not only are
prices good, but yields are large and
as a consequence there will be more
money in the valley this year than
there has been for more than a de-
cade before.
Wheat at Salem is quoted at 20
cents, with the mills paying 2-cent
premium. In ordinAry years all above
so cents would be clear profit, but be-
cause of the high wages paid to farm
help this season it will take from So
to 55 cents to pay the cost of produc-
tion. The average yield, so far as
can be learned, will be about 20 bush
els to the acre or more. This means
a clear profit of from SO to $3.50 an
acre on wheat, after allowing for all
labor and expenses. Oats have turn
ed out better in proportion than
wheat, and the large yield, with
price of about 25 cents per bushel,
will leave a good profit on that crop.
The season has been very favorable
for hay, and yields have been good.
The prices quoted at present are from
81 to So a ton in the local market for
loose hay. Farmers say that about
half Of this price is profit, Yields run
from two to three tons per acre, max
ing this crop better paying one than
wheat.
Hops promise price ranging from
Is cents upward, and 1t is generally
figured that all above cents is profit,
though growers who hire all their
work done and give their yards good
spraying say that the cost of produc-
tion Is 10 cents a pound. At any
rate. there seems to be an excellent
profit this year.
The prune crop is large, and though
the domestic market has not opened,
has been making sales at its own
price, a 2%-cent basis, which price
leaves the grower better than fair"
margin.
All through the year dairy products
have brought an extraordinary price,
and even country butter has found
ready market at paying figures.
sold their fieeces this
year at a high price. and sheep have
been in demand all through the year.

TO QUIT CABINET.
Secretary Root WIN Resign Before Go
ing to England.

Washington, Aug. 13.--For several
months past there have been rumorn
afoat that Secretary Root is to retire
from the cabinet, and it is now known
definitely that his resignation will be
rendered before be leaves for Europe to
serve on the ALASKAN boundary COM
mission. 1t is understood that the
matter of his successor has been dis
cussed, and while nothing official can
be obtained, it is believed it will be
rendered to Governor Taft.
While Secretary Root is in London,
he will remain in communication with
the war department, and matters per-
tanning to general staff and other inn
portant affairs will be referred to him.
II the sittings Of the Alaska commits
sion extend beyond December l, it is
proDable that the secrstary's resigna-
tion will he accepted, and his success
sor appointed at that time.
The president is very loath to part
with Root, for he is one Of the most
valuable members of the cabinet.
The secretary has been anxious to go
for some time, but he has desired to
put his general staff law into operation
before he retired. He also wanted the
Philippine insular government on
firm footing before he relinquished con-
troll over the islands.
Secretary Root was called to the cab
met by President Mckinley, who in
sisted upon having lawyer of known
ability TO handle the problems growing
out OF the Spanish war. Root sacri.
iced law practice OF more than $780,
600 year in order to accept place in
the cabinet, and did so largely through
patriotic motives, and also because he
felt he was summoned as lawyer to
perform a great government service.

CAR UP IN ARMS.
Says Turkey Must Punish Slayer Of
Consul.


st. Petersburg, Aug. l2.-The czar
has demanded the exemplary punish
ment not only of the murderer OF the
Russian consul at Monastir, who was
killed last week by a Turkish gend-
arme, but of all the military and civil
officials in any way responsible for the
crime.
In reporting the occurrence to
the foreign Office, the Russian consul at
Constantinople telegraphed as follows:
"The Rsusian consul at Monastir has
fallen the victim of an atrocious CRIME.
The grand vizier and the Turkish for
eign minister have come to me with ex-
pressions OF regret in the name of the
sultan. Ferid Pasha, the grand vizier,
informed me that the assassin was
gendarme named Hahn. and that he
will be subjected to the severest pun
ishment, and the vail Of Monastir will
be removed from his post"
In reply, Count Lsmsdorff, the tor-
eign minister, telegraphed to the am
bassador:
"His majesty has received telegram
from the sultan expressing his deep re-
gret at the death of the Russian consul
at Monastir. When showed the tele-
gram to the emperor, his majesty gave
orders that you should not confne
yourself to receiving explanations from
the grand vizier, but should make the
most energetic demands on the Turk
ish government for full satisfaction and
immediate and exemplary punishment
both Of the murderer and OF all the
military and civil officials on whom re-
sponsibility for the audacious crime
NAV fall"

No Grass to Fight Over.

There is no range war in the Upper
Deschutes valley. On the contrary,
there is the peace of desolation. The
range was overstocked and eaten out
and no grass worth making war ever
remains. Where neat cattle and
horses once throve by the thousands
there is now none too much feed for
few hundreds. Twenty years ago
there was no finer grazing region in
the United States. Men who now ride
all day in a cloud of dust tell of the
time when the grass was up to their
knees as they besuode their horses.
and cattle fairly wallowed in the feed
that covered the 80 miles of present
desert between Bend and Prineville.
