RAISES THE TARIFF.
New Austrian Duties VIII Affect the
United States.

Vienna, Jan. 2-Increased tariff duties
on both grain and manufactured ar
ticles are the important feature of the
new Ausgleich, which, it is learned,
is of a highly protectionist character.
Precise details of the higher duties will
be determined upon within fortnight.
The duties on both grain and man.
ufactured articles will be considerably
increased, which is likely to seriously
affect both the United States and Great
Britain, who are respectively the third
and second largest exporters of manu-
featured articles to Austria. 1t is
thought here that Great Britain will
be the greater sufferer, since the United
States are better able to protect them
selves, by adopting retaliatory meas
ures.

the organization of the Legislature

MONEY CAME HIGH,
Nine and 10 Per Cent. Was Asked for
Funds i'm New York.

New York, Jan. money was in
sufficient demand to-day to make and
10 per cent the rates for most of the
funds put out. This level was quoted
by the banks in most instances when
renewals or new loans were asked for,
and while increased ease was reported
in the time money situation, heavy
tenders quoted the 5h per cent. rate as
the only basis at which they would re-
lease funds. This attitude was explain
ed by the large banks in the prediction
that money will continue in active de-
mand through the next fortnight. or
until the funds disbursed in dividend
payments are returned in some vol
ume for the West and South.

Basis.

New York. Ian. 2.-The so-called
equality or factor plan in the sugar
trade will be done away with by the
American Sugar Refining Company to-

at 4.65 per pound net, thirty days, less 1
per cent. for cash without rebate. The
plan has been followed by the refiners
for year. By it the grocers received
protection to the extent of % cents per

factor plan terms. this step becomes
necessary. Hereafter all sales will be
on a net cash basis.

DIR. Mayou. in a recent issue of The
Lancet, announces a method of remov-
ing small metallic foreign bodies from
the stomach with the aid of device
consisting of a small electro-magSet,
two inches in length and five-sixteenths
of an inch in diameter, with a lifting
power of a quarter of a pound. This
magnet is inserted into an ordinary
stomach tube, the wires of the magnet
swinging through the tube. A narrow
silver band is placed on the outer side
of the stomach end of the tube. The
patient being anaesthetized, an X-ray
bulb is placed beneath him, and the
tube passed into the stomach. Both
the foreign body and the magnet be-
come visible; they are brought into con-
tact, the current turned on and the
magnet is pulled into the tube by
means of it's wires, drawing the foreign
body with it. AS soon as the latter
has entered the tube Gas shown by it's
passing the silver ring) the tube is
withdrawn, bringing with it the foreign
body.

from low perch or from the surface,
and pursue their fish under water. The
serrated bills of the former and the
hooked bills of the latter are well
adapted for holding such slippery
prey. Sheldrakes also capture their
fish by pursuing them under water,
and hold them easily in their saw
edged bills.
The man-o'-war bird does his fish
ing while on the wing, and in sew
eral different ways. He Is extremely
active, and sometimes catches his
prey at the surface, sometimes as IL
leaps out of the water, and sometimes
he pursues successful gulls and terms
and forces them to disgorge the fish
they have captured for their own use.

CHARGED WITH LARCENY.
Chas. ". Whitney. Formerly OF Corvallis,
Arrested on This Charge in
Baker County.

The following dispatch from Baker
| City to Saturdays Oregonian iniplicate:
| G. w. Whitney, formerly OF Corvallis, in
! the defalcation of Sheriff Huntington, Of
Baker county, which caused SO much
CONSERVATION among his constituents.
Mr.. Whitney conducted general mer-
chandise store in Corvallis number of
years ago, and his friends in this city
have confidence that he will be able to
clear himself Of the charges against HIM :
Charles W. Whitney, ex-deputy sher-
if, who served as tax collector under
Sheriff A, II. Huntington, was arrested
today OF complaint charging him with
the larceny of $4,000. He waived an ex-
animation before Justice Messick, who
fved his bond at $500. Up to late
hour this evening Mr.. Whitney had not
secured bondsmen, and was still in the
custody of Sheriff Brown.
This arrest grew out Of the defalcation
of Sheriff Huntington, who was taken in
charge soon after his return from the
East, about the first of January, and re-
leased on 1000 bond. The fact that
Huntington was placed under arrest has
just come to light as the county officials
IN charge of the case have declined un-
til TO day to give any positive informa-
ton in regard to the status Of the affair.
The fnal reports of the experts, upon
which SO much depends, has not been
completed, but will be finished and fled
next week some time, when the expert
accountants return from Waliowa county,
Considerable mystery surrounds the
whole matter SO far as information from
official circles is concerned.
Huntington insists that as he never
handled any of the tax money he was not
cognizant OF any shortage, save the
amount of $500, which he was obliged
to ezpend 10 maintain the Office. This
amount was charged in memorardum
book kept by Whitney, bat he understood
that the tax books were all square.
The experts found, so it is claimed,
that the footings OF the tax ledger were
wrong on many pages. and all, or nearly
all, of the shortage was found in that way.
The entries were all right, but the foot
ings would often be several hundred
dollars short oa a single page.
The arrest of Whitney puts a new phase
on the case, and it now appears that
there will be some very interesting de-
within the next few days.

O. A. G.. defeats Pacific.

The basketball team of young
men from Pacific University met
the Agricultural College boys at
the arnory Friday evening and
suffered a defeat of IS to S. The
game was most exciting, and the
fastest ever played on the local
field. The score at the end of
the first half stood, o. A. c., ID;
P. u, I. In the second half the
visitors secured their only basket
from the field during the game.
The local team played a con-
sistent game, making six baskets
from the field and two from the
foul line in the first half, and
five baskets from the field and
one from the foul line in the
second half. Pacific made three
of her points from fouls.
While the visitors made some
sensational passes, and handled
the ball well, they lacked tbs
perfection in team work displayed
by the home team, and were less
speedy. So accurate was the
passing of the Agricultural boys,
that some of the baskets were
made III two or three passes after
the ball was put in play.
The 0. A. c. team lined UP
as follows: Center, Moores; for
wards, Stokes and c. c. Cate;
guards, Rinehart and Steiwer.
Tharp went in as guard in place
of Steiwer in the last halt.

Will o. A. G. Lose Herbo1d?

The Butte Inter-Mountain
publishes a fine llalf-tone of Fred
Herbo1d and says:
There is considerable talk go
ing the rounds about organizing
a big football team for Butte the
coming season: It is to be an
amateur organization and Fred
Herbo1d will probably be secured
to coach ii.
Herbold has returned from
Oregon where he successfully
coached the team of. the Oregon
Agricultural College last year.
His team lost but one game
out of seven and during the sea-
son made a score of1 50 as against
16 for its opponents. Coach Her
bold deserves special mention, as
he developed win;:ing team out
of raw material.
AS a footballist, Fred Herbold
is a man of wide experience. He
was a member of the University
of Oregon team during the years
'93, "a, 'o5 and 90, and in
1897 he went to Purdue, Indiana,
where he played for two years
under the coaching of Poe and
Church of Princeton. In 80 he
was a lnember of the crack Butte
team. In the fall of 1900 he was
engaged as coach of the Univer-
sity of the Idaho eleven and such
satisfaction did he give that he
was called back the next season.
There are a number of old
stars of the gridiron in Butte
who could be counted on if an
other strong team is secured.
Fully 100 men would form the
nucleus from which to pick a
team. Bill Slater could be count
ed on and it is even thought that
Jim Hooper would journey north
wards from Colorado and take a
hand in the sport.

MEETING WAS UNOFFICIAL.
Benton County Committee Discusses
Bridge Matter With Linn
County Judge.


E. R. Bryson, johnson Porter and
Lon Hawley, the committee ap-
pointed by the Benton countv court
to meet like committee from Linn
county, to discuss the Albany bridge
question, went to Albany, Saturday,
to perform this duty. They found
that the Linn county court had no
official knowledge of the desires Of
the residents of the northern part of
Benton county regarding the bridge,
nor communication from the city
council of Albany stating what that
body was able or willing to do in the
matter.
The court had appointed no COM
mittee, but the judge and one com
missioner met unofficially with the
Benton county committee, and two
hours were spent discussing the
question. Messrs. Bryson, Porter
and Hawley made it plain to the
Linn county representatives, that if
Benton county assumed any re-
sponsibility connected with the Al
bany bridge, Linn must share the
expense of conducting the free ferry
at Corvallis, and that an equitable
arrangement must be made.
The Linn county gentlemen ex-
pressed desire to meet the Benton
county court direct in discussion
of the question, and they will sub,
NIT proposition, shortly, for con-
sideration.
The Herald had this to say cor
corning the meeting:
The Benton county committee was
composed OF E. r. Bryson, johnson
Porter aHd Lon Hawley. An effort was
made by these gentlemen to get propo-
sal from the Linn county committee as
to how the bridge should be taken, but
as the people most interested are citizens
of Albany and of that section OF Benton
county just across the river from Albanv,
it was decided that the proposition should
come from these people to the county
Councilmen Dawson, Stewart and Raj
ston constituted the committee fre.sa the
council of Albany. They said
the council would make formal propo-
sitlon at the proper time, for the city to
turn over the bridge free Ct debt and en-
cumbrance to the two counties jointly, |
Or to either county separately, provided
the bridge should be maintained as a
tree bridge.
Judge Palmer and Commissioner
Sprenger, who represented the Linn
county court, said their court would
meet for joint session with the Benton
county court at any time the latter
would name. I5 is probable this meet
ing will be held about the first of Febru-
ary, when the regular court sessions
at which time it is hoped the bridge
question will be definitely settled.
The citizens committee which circu-
lated the petitions for free bridge was
represented by MIR. III. G. Watson.
