COAL. PIERS BURN.

at New York.

New York, June l.--Seven freight
and coal piers of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna Il Western railroad in Jersey
City were destroyed today by fire
that started on the barge Allen G.
Churchill, which lay alongside pier IL,
on which a lot of barrels CT oil were
stored. The loss is estimated at ST.

Pier IL was 500 feet long and was soon

from the shore we're able to accomplish
but little.
The flames swept across to pier IL
and beyond, being finally checked at
pier s, which is new coal trestle,
steel-framed and iron-clad. Here the
firemen and fireboats made despei ate
stand and stayed the advance Of the
fire until the burning piers crumbled
and fell into the water.
Although there was little wind,
sparks fell all along the waterfront for
nearly mile, endangering the Lacka-
wanna station and even the Hamburg.
American and Bremen line piers, where
the firemen were kept busy playing
streams of water upon the blaze and
over the ships at their docks.
A number Of canal boats and several
tugs were burned, the loss of small
boats being variously estimated at from
80 to 200. The number Of freight cars
is not known, but the loss on this class
of rolling stock will be heavy. The
Lackawanna road moved its passenger
coaches out to the Meadows. and one
train of freight cars was moved out and
saved.

injured.
Vice President Loomis, OF the Lacka.
wanna, placed the total loss by the fire
at IS, 900, based on the original
cost of the piers burned, on the freight
stored on them and to some extent the
loss of business which must necessarily
ensue. 1t also includes the burning OF
the canal boats and barges thickly
moored between some of the piers.

OLEO LAW VALID.
United States Supreme Court Hands
Down Decision.

Washington, June 2.-The supreme
court of the United States, in an
opinion by Justice White today, upheld
the constitutionality OF the oleomargar-
inc law. Leo W. McRay sued the gov
ernment in the Southern district Of
Ohio, to recover $50 paid by him as
penalty for the sale Of 80 pound pack.
age of colored oleomargarine, contain
ing stamp tax of three-quarters of
cent pound instead of 10 cents
pound.
McRay's counsel argued first, that,
although the "oleo" was colored to
look like butter, the color was obtained
by the use of butter, which was itself
artifcially colored, but the use Of
which as an ingredient in the manu-
facture of "oleo" was authorized by
law; and, second, that the tax of 10
cents a pound was proibitive and con.
fiscatory, and an attempted federal
usurpation Of the police powers of the
state. The court said the tax contem-
plated the finished product and not the
details of manufacture. The court
therefore affirmed the judgment OF the
lower court, upholding the validity of
the law and the tax.
The chief justice and Justices Brown
and Peckham dissented.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
WOOL AT HIdn PRICE.
Million and Halt Pounds Change Hands
at tieppner Sale.


Heppner-The first wool salesday in
Heppner as arranged by the Oregon
Woolgrowers' association resulted in
! 100000 pounds of wool changing
hands, bringing to the growers a little
over 1902, 900, This is by far the larg-
est sale ever made in single day in
Heppner, and from every point OF view
was very satisfactory. Previous condi.
tions this year have been discouraging
to the sheepmen and the industry in
general, owing to the bad sheep mark
ct, but these wool sales added so much
encouragement that there is a different
feeling, not only among the growers
but in all lines of business, for the
sheep is prominent factor in the bus
iness affairs Of Morrow county.
For almost every lot of wool offered,
the growers received more than they
expected. The average price received
was about 1917 cents per pound, which
is fully a cent better than received last
year, owing to better quality of wool,
this being caused by the open winter
and favorable spring, causing slight
shrinkage and good staple. The early
grass caused sheep to take on flesh and
the feeces were heavy, many focks
averaging a pound more to the sheep
than last year. The advance in price
and the increased weight Of the feeces
has added thousands of dollars to the
pocketbooks Of the prosperous sheep
growers.
The sales will take out about half OF
the wool which will be handled in the
Heppner market. 1t Is estimated that
about 10000 pounds yet remain in
the hands OF the growers in this terri
tory. Other salesdays have been ar
ranged for June s and 23, to be held
here for the sale of this wool,
The sealed.bid method in which
salesdays are designated when num-
Der of growers and buyers can get to-
gether, was inauguiated three years
ago. The bids OF the buyers are placed
in bat, the highest offer taking the
clip, If the grower desires to accept it.
This method has been very successful,
there having been but very few private

PORT ARTHUR SITUATION BAD.
Famine Prices Exist ard Many People

Niu Chwang, June 2.-Some Chinese
fugitives from Port Arthur, who have
just arrived here, describe the situa.
tion Of the inhabitants there as desper-
ate. Famine prices exist. The cost Of
provisions increases weekly. Many
persons are reduced to eating Chinese
food, and even that is dear. Millet

and several public buildings have been
wrecked by Japanese shell fire. The
hospitals are packed with sick and
wounded.
The work of repairing the damaged
warships has been stopped. All civil.

Kinchou 200 Chinese we're killed by
the Japanese fire.
The very highest Russian authority
here, while not believing that Port
Arthur will fall, admits its loss would
be terrible loss to the Russian arms.
The same authority says Russia may
send a large army to the south of Niu
Chwang in the event of General Stoes-
sci being able to hold his own at Port
Arthur. This, however, is not possible
at present, owing to the positions oc-
cupied by the japanese armies operat-
ing from the Yalu river and Taku
Shan. The Russians are not sanguine
as to the outlook for Port Arthur.
More contraband OF war is arriving
here. Two cargoes of flour and timed
meats and some speire were rushed to
as soon as they were unloaded.

roads almost impossible. The Chinese

Meeting this section of the state with
Portland" said Governor Chamberlain
today upon his arrival here from Shan.
iko, in company With Secretary OF State
Dunbar and Stsfl Treasurer Moore.
These state officers, as members Of the
state land board, areon their way to
the Upper Deschutes country to exam
inc the irrigation projects which have
been started under the provisions OF
the Carey arid-land act, They came
out to Shaniko, in the southern part Of
Sherman county, over the Columbia
Southern, and from there took a
private conveyance and are travelling
across Crook county, learning what
they can Of the country, so that they
may the more intelligently act upon
questions that will arise in the transac-
tion of business relative to the irriga-
tion enterprises,
Though the members Of the board
knew something Of the general charac-
ter Of the country ana have read statis-
tics showing the quantity and values of
the products Of this part Of the state,
they admit that they had no fair con.
ception Of the progress that has been
made in the development Of industrial
resources and Of the possibilities for
future growth. With one accord they
express the opinion that Oregon should
be looking after her commercial inter
ests in Central Oregon and not permit
California to step in and take trade
that naturally belongs to Portland.
While they have not yet visited the ir-
rigation projects, they have seen
enough Of the newly-settled country to
convince them that this section of Ore
gon is destined to be great producer
of wealth through its agricultural re.
sources, and that ifthe irrigation enter
prises prove to be the success that is
now expected Of them, Crook will be
one Of the most important farming
Of the state.

Chicago. June 1.-The 5000 ma

that compose that Metal Trades associ-
alton went on strike last night as pro-
test against the l0-hour day, and praC-
tically all of the 1l5 shops represented
in the association are closed today.
No effort will be made to operate the
shops until tomorrow, and then the
force of the employers will be central
lied at a few plants.
The 10-hour day was inaugurated by
the employers for. the purpose of bring
ing the strike to a crisis. In a state
ment sent out tonight by the officers of
the association, it is declared that the
employers had no intention of return
ing to the 1o-hour day, but they were
compelled to take this step to combat
the slow individual strike campaign,
which was commenced by the Machin
lists union some time ago.

CAVALRY WILL BR SENT.
Marines Could Accomplish Little In q

Washington, June l.--High officials
Of the administration are considering
the expediency of making war on the
Moroccan bandits if France declines to
land troops and assume responsibility
for the bandits punishment. These
officials have discussed the beet method
OF procedure and have reached the con-
clusion that nothing but cavalry &C
customed to campaigning in a noun
famous country would be Of service.
1t was at first suggested that several
hundred marines should be landed at
Tangier and mounted. They would be
sent in pursuit OF the kidnappers OF Ion
NJ. Perdicalis and his stepson. This
was considered inadvisable, as the
marines would not be experienced in
that kind of warfare. II an expedition
is sent it will comprise trained cavalry.
men from the United States.
The president and general staff think
this government should send an armed
expedition after the brigands, secre-
tary Hay and other administration
officials discourage the idea and think
France should take the necessary steps.
There has been no intimation, however,
that France will do this, but Mr.. Hay
feels sure that she will take action be-
fore Great Britain or the United States
sends an armed force into the sultan's
country.

EUGENE GETS The FAIR.
Douglas County Is Pacifled With a lash
Bonus Of $500.

Eugene-H. L. Traver, F. A. Rankin
and j. NJ. Williams have returned
from Roseburg, where they were sue
cessful in securing the location OF the
next exhibit Of the Second Southern
Oregon District Agricultural society at
Eugene. There has been a strong de.
sire TO have the fair here again this
fall, and the local directors have been
working for some time with that end
in view. Douglas county at first OBJ.
jected on the ground that they were
still in debt $4,000 on their grounds at
Roseburg, which they hoped to be able
to raise If they had the fair there.
At "a meeting it was arranged that
the fair should come to Eugene this
year and that Douglas receive from
Lane county $500 bonus, and also that
two new directors will be chosen from
this part Of the district to succeed those
from Douglas county, who soon retire.
