 now proposed to extend the system un- der which these atrocities have been perpetrated to Denver. The inhabitants Of that city are threatened with being subjected to the same sort of lawless tyranny which has prevailed for many months in the mining districts. Gen, eral Sherman Bell, who is in command of the militia and who brides himself upon trampling on the civil rights of union men, says he is quite willing to repeat in Denver what he has done in Cripple Creek and other mining dis ticts Tn published interview he is reported as saying: "So far as placing Denver under martial law is con- cerned, that rests solely with the gov ernor. If he should see fit to do so will see to it that hundreds of bad men are deported. If, after martial law has been called off, the citizens permit the cattle intend to deport to return, that will be their business. The time for temporizing in Colorado has passed. What We have to do now is to act.''

Crop prospects just now are as good as could be reasonably expected. says Banker Clews. The promise at pres ent is for "a wheat crop of about ESQ., 100000 bushels, corn crop of nearly 00,000,00O bushels and cotton crop of 100000 bales. Corn is the only backward crop; but nearly all the oth- CT crops have had a good start, are in good condition and have reached de- gree of maturity that will enable them to withstand ordinary adverse .condi- tionsofweather, which, of course, must be counted upon in all calculations. Abundant harvests will furnish much relief ot the country at large, not only by insuring another season of prosperity to farmers, but also by keeping down the prices of food pro- ducts. which have had much to do with the recent high cost of living.

AN INJUSTICE TO CoLsoN.

It would seem to the laynan that, just as Harvard rowing seems to be entering upon better days, with a new and formidable system installed under the direction of MT Colson, it is unwise to withdraw from it all sup port by the Athletic association. The Weld and the Newell clubs have been coached by professional help which must be cut off. They are the nur- sery of Harvard rowing and are sadly needed if "a perma nent system is to be established. The letter of the law pro- hibtts the engagement of MT. Colson for, another year, as he is virtually q professional coach. And Ia profess sional is needed for rowing at Har- yard far more than for football. which can always rally host of graduate advisers. Not few graduates are likely to question the wisdom of com polling them to support Harvard ath- letics, in "a large degree, when S10O,- GOO is recieyed yearly from the vari- ouS sports. The Stadium is a nightly fine place, although Harvard has yet to win her first victory in 1t, but Har- yard prestige on the water would be almost as treasured B gift. The other side of the argument is in the deter imitation of the committee to enforce economy in the administration of ath- letic finances, There is room for it at all of our athletic universities, 7 and in the long run the lesson may be a wholesome one. At present, how ever, 1t will make the managers of the various teams lose some sleep, and the students and loyal graduates dig deeper than ever to keep the teams of fair Harvard from declaring bank ruptcy.-From The Illustrated Sport

NEW WAY OF WORK.
 ING AN OLD GAME

"One of the most ingenious swindling effect in Nashville last week." said a visitor to the recent confederate re- union. 1T believe 1t marks a new chapter in the history of petty larceny.
 T was at restaurant one afternoon when man entered the establishment and asked the cashier, a trusting girl, if she would give him $20 bill for $2O in silver. The girl said she would be glad to oblige him. The man had an envelope in his hands and he held 1t be- tween his thumb and foref1nger, saying he had smut on his hands and that he did not wish to soil the envelope. He asked the girl to put the bill in the en- velope and seal it for him. She did as requested and then counted the silver he had given her in exchange for the currency. It was 9 cents short, and she told the fellow of the shortage.
 "He seemed surprised and asked her to count it again. She counted 1t once more and told him again it was p cents short He then counted it him. self. You were right said the fellow. q will have to goback and get another quarter You keep the $20 bill until ! return,' and he picked up his silver and walked out The cashier waited an hour, and thinking he would not return she opened the envelope and was dis mayed to find it contained only blank piece of brown paper. The scoundrel had adroitly exchanged envelopes and the one with the $2O bill in it was in his pocket" ."-New Orleans Tmes-Dem- oo1sof

There are no valid economic argu- ments against the premium system.

dered at Bryant a short time ago, and
Frank La Bross have been arrested and
are now at the county Jail suspected
of knowing more about the crime than
they have yet told. They are the two

heard a. shot fired and the sound of
men leaving the building. At first,
they say, they were too frightened to
leave their room, and when they did.
found La Bross lying dead on the
floor.
The officers allege that the men have
told conflicting stories, at one time
claiming they remained in the room
fifteen minutes after they heard the
shot fired, and again that they came
out in about thirty seconds. They
maintain their entire innocence of the
crime.
Burge was La Bross' bartender, and
knew the combination of the safe. It
was found locked after the murder.
and a considerable sum of money in
it. 1t is not known, though, whether
that is the total amount that was in
the safe in the first place or not.
La Bross was a hanger-on about the
saloon, having been around there for
several months. He had worked at
single mills and been employed at
various saloons as porter.

OverWOrked, and nearly ruined as the
result, has created an imperative de-
mand for seed. The increasing de-
mand for the native product and the
high price which it brings in the mar
ket have caused producers to work
their beds to a point where they are
no longer self maintaining with the
result that a new start must be Sc
cured, either with the native seed or
seed of the eastern oyster.
The oyster industry on Shoalwater
bay has assumed such proportions
that many producers are no longer de-
pending entirely on the native product.
While not abandoning the home spe-
cies entirely, they have found it profit
able to ship in the seed of the east
ern oyster, and supply both markets.
Five or six of the large companies
have experimental with the eastern
variety, and have found that as good
or even better oysters can be grown
on the western coast by transplanting
the seed. Over sixty carloads have
been shipped in during the past four
years, but this year the industry will
be entered into on a larger scale, and
nearly 100 cars will be planted, prOvi-
ded that amount is to be secured in the
eastern market.
Considerable revenue will be obtain
ed by the state from the seed which is
gathered off it's beds. A charge of 10
cents per sack is maintained, and each
producer who plants the seed is sub
ject to a license of IS. From the oys-
ters alone $500 will be collected, and
the total will amount to between $4,000
and $4,000.

COL. JUDSON WILL INTRODUCE
THE NEW INDUSTRY IN
UMATlLLA COUNTY.
Is Distributing the Seed Among the
Farmers-BeIieve Broom Corn
Will Grow.

Colonel r. c. Judson, of the indus
trial department of the 0. r. & N,
was in the city this morning, en- route
to the farmers meeting at Echo, says
the East Oregonian. He brought in a
large quantity of amber cane seed.
which he will distribute among the
farmers of the county for tests this
year. This cane shows luxuriantly on
the driest, sandiest soil in the South
west and Colonel Judson thinks it will
be the salvation Of great amount of
arid lands in Umatilla county.
The syrup from this cane took the
first prize at the Paris exposition, and
Colonel JudsOn brought a sample of
the syrup with him to show the farm
ers what an excellent article of food is
produced from this cariety of cane.
He also brought a large quantity Of
millet seed which he will distribute
to the farmers for experimental crops,
in hopes of inducing them to begin
the cultivation of these hardy plants
on the arid lands now lying idle in the
county, He will collect specimen
this fall from all the crops grown, and
expects an excellent showing.
He also brought a sample of broom
corn, whihc he will take especial pains
to have sOwn in the Echo district, and
mature in the warm climate of UNA
tilla county, as we'll as in the, south
west, where it grows profusely and
brings from $50 to $50 per ton.

through the local firm of Kelly, Clark
& Co. This firm figures largely in
the Alaska pink salmon trade.
Russia has not made any extensive
purchases of provisions on the Pacific
coast So far she has acquired only
20, 1000 cases of salmon, as estimated
by men in the business. These cases
were purchased about the time nos
tilities began, and were bought in San
Francisco. They consist entirely OF
Alaska reds. Whether more purchases
will be made cannot, of course, be fore
aold at this time.
Russia made an effort to get beef
from this country to Siberia and Man
churia, but failed. One shipment was
on the sea at the time the war broke
out, but it had been routed by way of
Nagasaki, Japan, and was seized there
by the Japanese, who paid for it fully.
Another shipment of 700 tons was at
San Francisco, when the authorities
learned of it, stopped the ship and put
the beef ashore. This beef is still in
storage in San Francisco. Its pres
ence there has given rise to many ru-
mors that it is to be shipped to some
other Pacific coast port, transferred to
a blockade runner and sent over on the
chance of getting into Vladivostok or
Port Arthur, but these rumors appar-
emily are without foundation.
