TIMBER LAW ISBAD
SPECTATORS GET RICH AT Ex.
PENSE OF THE NATION.
Richards Urges Change In Present Law
Points Out Defects Of 1easure-
Eastern Men Come West and Take
Up Valuable Lands for Individual Who
VIII Advance Necessary Money.

Washington, Oct. l4.--In his forth
coming annual report, Land Commits
sioner Richards will present forceful
argument in favor Of the radical modi.
fication of the timber and stone act.
He builds his argument upon the show
ing of rapidly increasing timber entries
in late years. Ont Of 1874, $50 acres
of public lands eiftered during the past
year, ,765, ,222 were covered by timber
entries, or more than three times the
area of timber entries in the preceding
year. This growth is the better appre-
ciated when it is known that in the 25
years the timber and stone act has been
operative less than 1000, 900 acres all
told have been entered under its pro-
visions
Commissioner Richards objects to
the timber and stone act because it al
lows entrymen, largely speculators, to
acquire for $3.50 an acre lands that are
easily worth 800.
"There is no doubt that the law is
being taken advantage of by spectators
who are getting rich at the expense of
the government, and of the men for
whose benefit the law was primarily
passed" says he. ut is right that
this timber should be cut and used
commercially, but the government
shouldEget an adequate return for part
ing with its property. Matured tim
Der should be cut when ripe, therefore,
l would not favor law that proposed
to cut off all sales, butI believe the
present law is defective and should be
repealed. The government has more
timber land than all the lumber COM
panies own together, and it would not
be just to put fence about the forests
and forbid cutting,
"When one observes the character of
claims that are being fled" continued
Commissioner Richards, little argu-
ment is needed to convince him that
these lands are being taken up for the
benefit of syndicates and corporations
and not the individual claimants. For
example, carload of people will leave
Michigan, cross the continent and scat
ter in the hills of Oregon. Immediate
ly we will receive claims for 100 acres
of land, the number Of claims corre-
spending exactly with the number of
passengers that boarded the west bound
train. Each claim will be accompanied
by a check for $500, and on investiga-
tion we find that many Of the claimants
have never been known to have that
much money at one time of their lives.
we scent collusion, and all
the claims are held for further inquiry.

- UTAH CONVICT REcAPTURED.
Weary and Famished, He Yields to
Constable Without a Struggle.

Salt Lake, Oct. 14.-Famished with
hunger, his limbs torn and bleeding
from contact with the thorny under
brush through which he plunged in his
mad flight for freedom, Nick Haworth,
one of the two convicts who escaped
from the state prison near here Friday
night, was today recaptured in a cabin
less than a dozen miles from the peni-
tentiary. Contrary to expectation,
Haworth made no resistance and meek
ly complied with the command to sur
render.
The arrest was made shortly before
noon by Constable Nelson, assisted by
three citizens from the little village of
Halliday Haworth's presence in the
locality was first discovered by the To-
year-old son of Constable Nelson. He
Immediately notified his father. who
selected three reliable men, armed
them with shotguns and drove to the
cabin, expecting Haworth to give bat
tie. The latter, however, quietly sub
mitted to arrest. He was taken back
to the penitentiary, locked in mur-
derer's cell and double guard placed
over him.
James Lynch, the other condemned
prisoner, who escaped, is still at large,
but prison officials look for his early
capture.

RAID ON BOSTON CHINESE.
Three Hundred Without certifIca ates
Taken to Police Station.

Boston, Oct 14.-The murder of
Wong Yak Chung, in Chinatown, two
weeks ago, the result, it is claimed of
the highbinders' plot, was followed to-
night by general raid on the section,
under the direction of Immigration
Commissioner Billings. Nearly 300
Celestials unable to produce certificates
of registration were taken to the deten-
tion-room at the Federal building.
The only accident that occurred during
the raid was the overturning OF a
loaded barge containing so Cinnamon
and several policemen Two policemen
and number of the Cinnamon were
badly bruised.
Eevry resort was visited. The ap-
pearance of the officers was followed
by rush into the streets, but the fee
ing Cinnamon found every means of
exit closed. They were gathered up by
the score.
Five patrol wagons were inadequate
in transporting the prisoners to the
Federal building, and milk wagons,
barge and an electric car were pressed
into service. Thes barge had hardly
moved dozen fee. when it overturned,
and the occupants, consisting of 80
Cinnamon and Is policemen and two
drivers, were thrown into the street in
a confused mass.

GOLD ON OWL CREEK.
Montana Ledge Said to Be 1900 Feet
Wide and Very Rich.

Butte, Mont, Oct. IA special to
the Miner from Hamilton says: This
tity is wild with excitement over a
great gold discovery made on Owl
creek, few miles from here. A regu-
lar stampede is on. If half of what is
said be true, it is the biggest strike in
Montana in many years.
Mr.. Cross, representing New York
syndicate, made the discovery on
August 23 last. He returned to Ham
ilton and wired to the New York peo-
pie what he had found. His syndicate
sent an expert at once. Tihrty-eight
claims were located for the New York
concern.
They say the ledge is fully 1900 feet
wide and that there is ore enough in
sight to keep 5O-stamp mill running
for 10 years without doing any under
ground mining. Assays run from sl07
to 81 900 in gold to the ton.
The expert claims all of the ore will
run at least $25 to the ton. From one
phenomenally rich streak of the ore, Is
pounds gave from $500 to $500 in gold.

SACKED BY MOB.
Striking French Weavers Wreck Homes
Of Enemies.

Armentiers, North France, Oct. ID
This town was today given up to riot
pillage and incendiarism, as conse-
quence Of the weavers' strike. Nothing
this morning foretold the serious dis
turbances about to occur, but at noon
the strikers, not receiving answers to
their demands from the employers,
broke out into the widest excesses. A
mob of 8 1000 gathered in the great
square and urged the troops stationed
there to throw down their arms, shout
ing: "Down with patriotism"
The rioters then spread through the
principal streets, breaking the windows
Of the stores, dragging out the huge
display rolls Of linen, which they
stretched across the streets with the
object of impeding the advance of the
cavalry. They wrecked shops, sacked
the houses of persons obnoxious to the
ringleaders, and attacked the banks, in
two of which they succeeded in stealing
few hundred dollars from the tills.
One gang set fire to large quantity
of linen in the cellars of Messrs. Bee
quarts factory. Others broke the win
dows of houses and threw inside burn
ing straw.
The troops, hampered by the obstruc-
tions thrown in their way by the riot
ers, were for long time unable to dis
perse the mob. Finally determined
charge by lancers restored temporary
quiet. = -.....-. se assEFssy1
After dark the rioters tore up sewer
gratings and paving stones and stretch
ed wires across the streets. Women
brought piles of empty bottles for use
as missiles, while boys swarmed up the
lamp posts and extinguished the gas
jets. In spite of the efforts of the sol
diers the rioters then proceeded to sack
the houses, dragging out the. furniture,
saturating it with petroleum. land set
ting fire to it in the street. Fire was
put to two houses belonging to the
strikers employers and one big factory.
The local brigade, being inadequate to
cope with the confagrations, an urgent
appeal was sent to the neighboring
town of Lille, whence steam pump
and reinforcements of firemen were
sent.
By midnight, however, the troops
and police had gained the upper hand
and dispersed the mob. The streets are
now deserted except for the armed pa
trolls. The authorities are taking meas
ures to ascertain the names of the ring
leaders in the riots.

TO TEACH FARMING.
A New Study for Common School Course
Is Proposed.

Salem-The teaching of the elements
of agriculture in the common schools
OF Oregon is advocated by Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction J. II. Acker-
man. The purpose of the introduction
of this study would not be to teach
the children the technical side of scien-
tifc farming, but rather to give them
an understanding of such elementary
facts and principles as every person
who resides in an agricultural country
should know. Superintendent Acker-
man believes that at some future time
such study should be placed in the
common school course, and that before
the teaching of this branch is com
menced, time should be given for the
teachers to prepare for the work they
will be required to do. He would have
every applicant for teachers certifi-
cate take an examination in the sub
ject of elements of agriculture.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
RICH BOHEMIA LEDGE.
Shows Thousands Of Tons Of Quartz
Carrying 81.

Eugene-Information has been re-
ceiyed at the Office of the North Fair
view Mining company, in this city, of
a very rich strike that has been made
in the Belle of Fairview claim, in the
Bohemia district, showing probably the
largest deposit of free-milling ore ever
struck in this section.
Tunnels and shafts already made,
block out over 100 900 tons Of oxidised
decomposed quartz, carrying an aver
age of 81 per ton in free gold. The
ledge is great true fissure, and is
from Is to 40 feet wide where it has
been opened. In the different cross
tunnels the ore shows continuous crop
pings for 1900 feet over on the west
slope of Fairview mountain, and from
the present indications there are over
1000, 900 tons Of the same quality as
that already blocked out, and the vein
is 40 feet wide at the west end of the
claims, where tunnel on the vein
will tap the ore body at a vertical
depth of l, 200 feet.
This ore can be mined and milled for
$3.50 per ton, which leaves hand
some profit for the owners.

Must Supply the Water.

Ontario - Some weeks ago a
suit was instituted against the Ontario
Land q Irrigation company for dam
ages caused by insuficiency of water
during the season, when the water had
been paid for. A decision has been
handed in by the jurors of the circuit
conrt allowing DR.. G. A. Pogue 81 800
damages. This ditch over which the
suit arose, is controlled by David Will
son, and goes by the name of the Will
son ditch. The winning of the suit
gives ground for damages each year un-
til the ditch is improved.

Seeding Season at PeudIetOn.

Pendleton--This is the busy season
for the farmers of this portion of the
Blue mountains district. Not for
years has wheat been planted so early
as it is this year. Some of the grain
is already above the ground and so rap
idly are the farmers rushing the work
all seeding will be completed by the
end of this month. The rains of a few
days ago put the ground in excellent
condition. The acreage planted this
year is about the same as last year.
Some of the wheat this year, however,
was spring sown, but there will be less
of that for the 1904 crop.

SMELTER FOR UNION.
Great Plant to Be Installed Shortly In
Eastern Oregon.

Union-The consummation of one of
the most gigantic mining propositions
, ever promoted in Union county, ii not
in the entire state, was announced here
a few days ago. George II Downs, the
mining promoter, who has been max
ing the town of North Powder his head
quarters the past two years while at
work upon this big deal, stated that
his project has the backing of New
York capitalists, and that the matter
has reached the point of certainty of
consummation
The company has just perfected its
incorporation, and the articles will be
filed with the county clerk here and
with the secretary of state. The name
OF the corporation is the Eastern Oregon
Mining, Milling, transportation, Smelt-
ing & Generating company. The capi-
tai stock is placed at IS ,0OO, 900. The
first officers of the corporation will be:
II. o. Gorham, president and treasurer;
W. II. GOrham, vice-president and
George H. Downs, secretary and gem
eral manager.
The company proposes to erect 25O-
ton smelter near the town of North
Powder, in Union county, about Is
miles south of Union, for treating all
the various grades of gold and copper
ores found in the southern part of
Union county and northern part of
Baker county, and in order to bring
such ores ITO the reduction works it is
proposed to build number of short
electric lines to the mines, covering
distance of over so miles.
These lines are to be built not only
for carrying ores, but passengers and
freight as well. Manager Downs de-
clined to give particulars as to the
routes Of the lines, but says the entire
project is certainty.
