1t was alleged in the bill that Good

Only in The extent of the mount was
the news of the alleged shortage a
surprise. 1t was known at the time
of Goodwin's death that he had been
plunging in the stock market.
Goodwin's death was a tragic one
and happened under circumstances
that gave at first promise of a is
picion OF foul play, a shadow that
disappeared.
A few days ago the affairs OF Good
win again came before the public,
when his collection Of rare books was
advertised for sale at auction.
The catalogue revealed the fact that
tens of thousands of dollars had beer
expended in gathering together . rare
collection. 1t included among other
things three volumes of a special edi
ton of Dickens contracted for at Q
cost Of $3.50, 900. There were to have

some of them costing thousands OF dol
lars, were in the library.

area in South Africa, not owned and
controlled by the De Beers monopoly,
has been positively confirmed by quail

MUST HAVE IRON ROOFS.

The Oregon Railroad & Navigation
company has issued orders that all
warehouses to be constructed along
its lines in the future must have cor
rugated iron roofs, says the Pendle
ton Tribune. This action is taken as
a precaution against fire.
The railroad company has been
made defendant in numerous damage
cases resulting from burning OF
warehouses along its line. Not only
in Umatilla county, but in other coun.
ties the same facts are observed that
when the warehouse burns and wheat
is destroyed the railroad company is
sued for damages. The officials be
lieve that where in some cases the
company may be to blame that by en-
forcing the order for iron roofs they
will be relieved of the great burden
now upon them The officials have
been considering seriously the advisa.
.bilityof ordering iron sidings next to
the track, but this will probably not
be issued as it would entail greater
expense upon the building Of ware
houses and the owners would have to
raise the price of storage.
For the October term of court which
is now in session in this city, the rail
road company has been defendant in
three damage suits aggregating $10,-
491 in total and two Of which the jury
found in favor of warehouses in
which wheat was stored. Louis An
derson secured judgment against the
railroad in the sum of $1773 for wheat
belonging to him which was destroy
ed at the time the warehouse at Cay
use burned The Norwich Fire Insur-
ance society secured verdict against
the company for 5000 for wheat des-
troyed in the burning of the same
warehouse at Cayuse The Manches-
ter Assurance company sued for dam
ages in the sum of $500 for wheat
destroyed in the burning of the ware
house at Barnhart
All these cases are expensive Whe-
Their the railroad wins or not and the
company has taken this method of in
surfing against possible fire. The
warehouses now standing along the
line will not be covered with the new
roofing until next year at least, but
all new houses must have the iron
structiOn.

TOta 49,. :. ..177,231,9 900 10000
In 1898, 1899, 1900 and 1901 the pro
duction in Russia exceeded that in the
United States; but in 1902, by it's
gain of 11,505,396 barrels and by the
decrease of 4,628,511 barrels in Rus
STA as compared with 1901, the United
States more than made up it's defici-
ency and exceeded Russia's produc-
ton, for the first time in five years,
by 354,545 barrels.
Although in the production of crude
petroleum the United States and Rus
STA so closely divided the 91,0S per
cent of the entire production of the
world in 1902, yet when the quality of
the crude petroleum is considered,
the parallel is by no means so COM
plete since more than double the
quantity Of the higher grades of re-
fined products was obtained from the
average crude petroleum produced in
the United States as compared with
that produced in Russia. Out of a
gross output Of S0,S94.59O barrels of
crude petroleum. the United States
obtained approximately 1,766,737, 900
gallons Of refined products, or about
81 per cent: Russia, out of a gross
production of S0,540 ,O45 barrels. OBJ
tanned refined products to the extent
OF 676,536,O00 gallons. or about 26 per
cent; and for the remaining coun-
tries of the world obtained from their
crude production about Z per cent of
the total output of refined products.
mus 1t appears that in 1902 the Unit
ed States produced a little more than
2 barrels of refined products for every
barrel produced by the rest of the
world.
The purest and most valuable
grades Of crude petroleum in the
known world continue to be produced
in the northeastern portion of the
United States-in the Appalachian
and the Ima-Indiana fields. A very
falr grade of crude petroleum is also
produced, though in comparatively
small quantities, in Sumatra, Java,
Gallcla, Roumania and India.
