HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
WILL FIGHT THE RESERVE.
Southern Oregon Citizens Readily Sign
Protesting Petitions.

A Jealous protest is being made by
the citizens of Josephine aud Curry
counties against the establishment of
the great forest reserve, embracing
nearly half of Curry and all OF Western
and Southern Josephine, as well as part
Of Douglas. Josephine would be
blocked in, so to speak, and Curry
would be placed in a position whereby
its advancement would be a matter OF
difficulty.
Just at this time, when prosperity
seems to be heading this way, capital
is becoming interested, new people
coming in, and new industries being
established, it is hard blow both to
Josephine and Curry, so The citizens
claim who are opposing the measure,
to establish forest reserve OF so vast
dimensions. The argumt mt made that
streams are drying up by reason Of the
removal Of trees, seems not we'll found
ed. But few, If any trees, have been
removed IN that section, not enough by
any means to affect the flow OF water in
the creeks and streams. Even the
miners, who need the water the most,
oppose the establishment of the reserve.
Petitions, begging that the matter of
estab ishing the reserve bs reconsid-
cred, or that the tract be not with.
drawn, are being circulated in J J4seph-
inc and Curry counties, and are being
liber lily signed.

MORE TIME IN BUTTE STRIKE.
Continuance in Hearing Of Injunction Is
Granted Western Union.

Butte, May GA continuance has
been granted by the Federal court to
the American labor union in the hear.
ing on the injunction granted to the
Western Union telegraph company, re-
straining all members of the union
from interfering in any way with the
business of the company. The hearing
has been continued until May IS, at
which time the court will decide
whether the order shall be allowed to
stand and be made permanent or with
drawn. Attorneys have been secured
by the Trades and Labor assembly to
fight the matter out in the courts.
1t was announced at the Offices OF the
American Labor union today that no
further action is to be taken in the
affair until after the court has rendered
decision. Since the injunction was
issued the messengers Of the Western
Union company have been unmolested
and there has been no attempt to in
timidate them or persuade them to quit
the serice.
The "unfair" banner which was
placed in the street in front OF the
Western Unoin Office for several weeks
has been taken away.

GOOD WORK OF BUREAU.
Hartman Lines are Turning Thoughts
Of Thousands to Oregon.

G. M. Mckinney, who has charge Of
the immigration department of the
Hartman lines, met with the real es-
tate dea ers Of Salem to discuss matters
relating to his work. He eexplained the
plan Of bis department and talked with
the real estate men concerning the
methods of advertising that they must
rely upon to draw immigration to this
state. That Oregon IL now the most
widely talked OF state in the Union is
the declaration he made, after telling
how the resources OF this state have
been advertised through the immigra-
tion bureau. As an indication OF shat
has been done for tie Willamette val
ley, be said tnat since his department
has been working between 1000 and
5000 one-way railway tickets have
been used by Eastern peop Q, who came
to the valley and did not go away
ag ain.
He said that the immigration bureau
Of the Hartman lines is the most per-
feet enterprise of the kind ever orgon-
lied in the United States, and that it
reaches in the most effective manner
those persons who are the most desira-
BILE immigrants. Within seven months
after he began work his department
had paced the literature advertising
this state into the hands of 1900, 900
people. The bureau has placed in the
field six lecturers, with stereopticon
views showing scenes illustrating the
resources and indus stries Of Oregon, and
there lecturers are addressing Eastern
audiences four evenings a week. Six
immigration agents in the different
sections of the middle West are giving
their whole time to disseminating in
formation regarding thi. state, super
vising the distribution OF literature to
those who are most likely to come to
this ttate, and aiding scores of Eastern
real estate men who are encouraging
Western immigration.
By means of this vigorous policy the
people of the Eastern states have been
interested in Oregon, with the result
that there is more talk of this state as a
desirable place for home-seekers than
the. is Of any other state.

COLLIDE AT SEA.
Ocean Liners Meet In a Dense Fog, and
Twenty Lives are Lost.

Norfolk, Va, May IA collision at
sea that cost the lives Of 20 or more
people and the sinking OF the Clyde
steamship Saginaw by the Old Domin-
ion steamship Hamilton occurred be-
tween Winter quarters lightship and
Fenwick island lightship, on the Vir-
ginia coast at 4 40 O'Clock this morning.
A dense fog settled along the shore
shortly after nightfall, and while going
through the fog at reduced speed the
Hamilton crashed into the Saginaw's
side about 20 feet from the stern.
The fog whistles Of both vessels were
distinctly heard by each other for sew
eral minutes before the collision oe.
Cured. According TO Captain Boaz, of
the Hamilton, his ship was making
about nine miles an hour. and the Sag
inaw about ten. The fog was go thick
that objects ships length away were
invisible, and when the two crafts hove
in sight Of each other, bow on, there
was but a moments interim before they
met.
The inrushing water caused the Sagi-
nav to settle rapidly at the storm, and
the impetus OF the Hamilton took her
out Of sight OF the crippled vessel.
The engines, already reversed, we're
put full steam to the rear, and the
Hamilton circled the scene of the wr ok,
at the same time lowering two Iifeboats.
There was CONSERVATION among the pas.
sengers OF the Old Dominion ship, and
the first thought was fer their safety,
but as soon as it was discovered that
the ship was uninjured save that some
bow plates were stove in all efforts were
to the rescne Of those on the
Saginaw.

HAWAII is CRITICISED.
Expert on Leprosy Holds Its Treatment
of Disease All Wrong.

VI DASN0oS Hh VAObks
Honolulu, May 6.-The legislative
committee which visited the leper set
tlement has made it's report, submitting
with it's onw findings long and sensa-
tional statement made by DR.. A. l..
Alvarez, a physician, wbc went to
Molokai with the committee as expert.
The doctor very severely criticises
Hawaii's system of segregation and
makes the statement that out of 81
supposed lepers examined by him some
time ago 16 were entirely free from the
disease and should be at liberty. The
segregation system, the report says,
leads those who have leprosy and their
relatives to conceal the fact, in order
that they may avoid being sent to
Molokai. DR.. Alvarez approves the
system of segregation in vogue in Nor
way.
The legislative committee recon-
mends the establishment of a large
hospital on the island of Oahu, and the
employment Of DR.. Alvarez as physi-
clan in charge. 1t is also recommend
ed that medical commission be &C.
cured to go to the settlement and ex-
anime all the doubtful cases, releasing
those who have not the disease.

TURTLE MOUNTAIN SLIDING.
River Completely Damned by Rocks and
Flood is Feared.

BlairmOre, N. W. t., May e. Small
slides have been coming down from
Turtle mountain at intervals during the
past S6 hours. This morning at day
Dreak the largest rock slide since the
first disastrous one occurred and caused
much uneasiness among the handful Of
officials left in Frank. Those who had
portable property began to remove it
this morning, but when the big slide
came they fled precipitately. Govern
ment engineers went to the mountain
this afternoon to mark out blasting
spots and clear off the loose rock.
Renewed fears of food have been
caused by the unexpected rise of the
river. Rain is predicted, and with the
river still practically damned by rocks,
food now would be disastrous.

State Labor Federation.

The first annual convention of the
Oregon state federation of labor met in
La Grande this week. About 100 dele.
gates were present. The attendance
was neither as large nor as represent
ative as was hoped. By far the larger
part of those in the convention we're
from Portland, while Astoria Salem,
Albany, Ashland, Baker City and Pen
dleton have from one to three delegates
each. Those in attendance are very
much in earnest in their desire to take
up in the convention some Of the knotty
questions confronting organized labor
and determine course of action in re-
gard to them.

POLICE TO SCENE OF STRIKE.
Italian WOrkmen on New York Subway
Become DemOnstrative.

New York, May 6.--The strike of
Italian rock drillers and diggers took q
more serious turn in the Bronx today,
80 policemen being sent to keep order
along the excavation for water mains
where men are working in the strikers
places. The police were picKeted along
the excavation and all Italians near it
and not working were ordered to move.
Bands of Italians. however, marched by
and shouted harshly at the men in
their places.
Agent Landau, of the Italian labor
union, said there were 5000 men on
strike in this city, aud that all work in
the Bronx would be stopped.
A big box Of explosives, which was
in shanty for the excavating work in
the Bronx, was ordered buried by the
police, and two guards we're stationed
near to watch it.
Encouraged by the action of the Cen
trail Federated union in endorsing their
demands, the lsborers employed on the
subway remained on strike today and
the tie-up of work was complete.

London Objects to Amerlcanism.

London, May 6.-The Yerkes-speyer
scheme for the consolidation Of all the
underground railways Of London is
meeting with much opposition. The
newspapers protest against such Gamer
icanism" and monopoly and urge parlia-
ment not to submit thereto. The par
liamentary committee Of the London
county council will submit its report to
the council tomorrow. ThisIe port will
insist upon a further investigation of
the consolidation scheme, which the
committee contends will raise fares.

wool In rIarIon County Pool.

From information produced at the
Marion county woolgrowers' associa-
tion meeting, it seems probable that
the quantity of wool controlled by the
pool this year will be nearly double
that Of last year. The soliciting COM
mlttee has not yet completed its work
but thus far so members have been
secured, and it is expected that the
total amount OF wool represented will
be from $4,000 to 100000 pounds.

At mass meeting of Linn county
farmers held in school district No. ia
recently some resolutions asking the
county court to rebuild sanderson's
bridge were adopted and sent to the
court. This bridge was carried away

one Of the longest bridges supported by
Linn county and spanned the Santiam
river, connecting this portion Of the
county with that rich section known as
the forks of the Santiam.

Plenty Of Gold but Little Silver.

Clackamas county officers report an
unusual scarcity of silver. Treasurer
Cahill sa, gold pieces, in denomina-
tions of 500, were never before as plen-
tliul as theV are at this time, and be
finds it troublesome to keep on hand a
sufficient amount of silver with which
to make change. No reason is assigned
for this condition, save that it indicates
in substantial way greater degree
Of prosperity among all classes.

No coup by Russia.

Washington, May 6.-The Chinese
minister called upon Secretary Hay to-
day and discussed the Manchurian sit
uation. There is good reason to be-
lieve that the negotiations have taken
a more favorable turn, and that the
Russian coup which was expected has
either been abandoned or been inde6.
nitely postponed. It is understood
that this involves no retreat on the
part of the Russian government from
any position officially taken.

PEAK OvERHAN0S TOWN.

People Warned to Keep Away From Tur-
tie Mountain.
Vancouver, B. c., May Ga COM
mittee Of the board of trade examined
Turtle mountain this morning and
decided to warn people to keep at a
cafe distance for at least a week so
that the town will be absolutely de-
serted for a time at least. The reason
for this conclusion is that an immense
peak of Turtle mountain is now over
hanging the southern part of the town.
Its fall might destroy the remaining
BUILDINGS in the town, although exper-
fenced mining men believe that another
slide would spread over the valley, de-
stroying the buildings Of the coal COM
pany at the base OF the mountain but
not overwhelming the town proper.

Little Change In Herd Law.

Aside from the amendment of the
law regarding the running Of stock in
Multnomah county, no change was
made by the last legislature in the
herd law. Section 81 Of the new road
law prohibits the herding of stock upon
the highways, thereby obstructing them
with earth, stones, or other debris, but
his section does not prohibit herding
stock on the highways so long as there
is no obstruction remaining more than

AN ESTIMATE OF Mr.. CLEVELAND
Every few days there Is evidence OF
the extraordinary popularity Of Mr.
Cleveland with the masses Of the peo-
pie. And in this feeling Is the proof
that the people Of this country have
not strayed too far from the old ideals
as those who have their eyes fixed up
on the SNOWY vulgarity Of our big
money centers are loudly asserting
For Mr.. Cleveland stands as the per-
feet representative OF fashioned
Americanism. He is neither a dollar
hunter nor a dollar worshipper; he is
the exact reverse of the type of blus-
ter and bluff: and he makes the seeker
after social position" and the imita-
tors Of the vulgar aristocrats Of Eu-
rope look cheap indeed. Now, as when
he was in office. he Is plain as an old
shoe"-an honest, common sense citi-
zen, discharging his public and private
duties in quiet, matter Of course way
that shines resplendent In comparison
with those who are so strong on what
other people should do, and so weak
and shifty when it comes to their own
ought-to-do.
Mr. Cleveland has solved the prob
lem Of what our eX-presidents should
do--has solved it as Washington solv-
ed it at Mt. Vernon. as Jefferson solved
it at Monticello-Saturday Evening
Post.
