Pendleton-Three carloads of beef
cattle were shipped to Seattle from this
point last week. On Saturday after
noon two were shipped, thus making
shipment of about 200 head. The cat
tie shipments at the present time are
about the same as they were last year
at this time. During the early part of
the fall, however, they were heavier
than they were last year. The sales Of
the season are not as great of last year.
Buyersq uote lower prices than last sea-
son. and the growers are determined to
hold against the markets.

ROAsTs IN WRECK.
Iowa Passenger Train Is Deralled on a
High Bridge.

Ottumwa, Ia, Dec. 16.--Five per-
sons were killed and 10 injured in a
wreck this morning on the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy road, three miles
west OF Abba, la. The westbound pas
senger train was in some manner de-
rallied while running onto the Cedar
creek bridge, and five cars were wrecked
by collision with the steel giders of the
bridge.
The wreckage Immediately took fire,
and several victims were badly burned.
Mildred Mitchen, the little year
old child of Mrs. w Mitchen, was
hung to one of the bridge girders and
burned to death before the eyes OF the
uninjured passengers and trainmen.
When the train was derailed just be-
fore reaching the bridge, the sides of
the cars struck the bridge and were
torn out. The live Goals from the
stove were scattered throughout the
cars. The Mitchen child fell through
the bottom of the car, its clothing
catching to the girder, when it cried
loudly for its mother, who had been
instantly killed in the wreck. The
cars and the bridge were in few sec-
onds mass of flames and the child was
burned to crisp before aid could
reach it.
Just what caused the accident is
mystery. AS soon as the engineer
noticed there was something wrong, he
applied the air brakes, but was unable
to stop the train. Five cars were COM
pletely burned, and the remainder of
the coaches badly damaged.
The work of rescue was carried on
with difficulty, as the cars took fire i'm
mediately after the accident, and the
bridge is a high one. The injured
were taken to Abba and Ottumwa.

La Grande-There is a move on here
to bring about the establishment of
creamery. George Goodhue, of Salem,
and Mr.. Harper, of the Union cream
cry, are looking over the country with
a,view to getting the ranchers interest
ed. The matter has been brought be-
fore the Commercial club, but no ac-

and Mr.. Harper have also been looking
over the field around Pendleton, and
they are desirous of establishing
plant there, which they say is an ex

tending to the owners Of American YES
sells that were seized in Behring sea,
some years ago, the right to 90 into the
court to prove their claims for dam.

Strikes Blow at UniOnIsm.

Chicago, Dec. 16.-The invasion Of
the municipal service by labor unions
was today ordered brought to halt by
Mayor Harrison. "In the mechanical
branches of the city's SERVICE" said
the mayor, "where the employe is
simply workman, it is all right for
him to belong to a union, but where
the man belongs to department, like
the firemen or the policemen, he has
no right to have divided allegi-
ance. He must owe all allegiance
to only one master-the city OF
Chicago"

from Secretary Godlove of the Royal
mine at Hodson, stating that there was

Panama VIII Propose Three Millions Of
Canal Money Be Used.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE state
ment from London that England, Hol-
land and Germany had decided to in
sist that the new republic of Panama
must assume part of Columbia's for
eign debt, brought an interesting re-
port here today. 1t is understood that
the purpose of Minister Buna- -Varrila's
recent visits to the state department
have been to make an agreement on
this very point. 1t is said that he has
prepared, and will probably sign, in
few days, an agreement by which the
Panama republic binds itself to Colon
bia, for application on her foreign debt,
one-third of the $4,000, 900 which the
United States is to pay Panama. Such
an agreement would be very satisfactory
to the United States government, which
is inclined to believe Panama, as mat
ter of equity, at least, should assume
portion of Colombia's debt.
