Oregon Potatoes Shipped East.

Milton.-The Blalock Fruit Com
pany, of Walla Walla, is loading one
or two cars of potatoes daily at this
station for Minneapolis and Missouri
River points. It has already shipped
ten cars during the past few days and
expects about Is more from this vicin-
ty. Farmers receive about rs cents
per sack, making the industry quite
profitable. The soil in this vicinity
is highly adapted to fruit and veget-
able raising. The majority of the
farmers depend entirely upon this in
dustry.

Odessa, March 2.-The orders that

regiments of infantry at Kishinef and
the one at Bendory have been rescind-

their commands in readiness for ac-

kans. This is construed as meaning
that the Russian government now
considers war between Bulgaria and
Turkey as inevitable.

THE THREATENED STRIKE.

Let us hope that the threatened
strike among the bituminous coal
miners will not mature. The memoir
les Of the one in the anthracite field
are too fresh in our minds. AS far rs
personal suffering is concerned, how
ever, a bituminous strike would not
have the effect the last one did as
people do not burn soft coal to keep
warm. 1t would hit hard the great
manufactures, however, and in that
manner would reach the general pub
lie.
Strikes are things to be deplored no
matter where. There are always two
sides to every question and a compe-
tent board Of arbitration, such as
President Roosevelt named to settle
tho anthracite strike, should be able
to determine which side is right. The
rnKFag laboring man is as much
opposed to strikes as anyone. All he
wahts>is fair play. That is all any of
us want and the best way to get that
is to cite our grievances before a dis
interested board and let it decide.
Labor is beginning to realize that a
strike to benefit q few has too many
innocent victims in the laboring mans
w ranks. Many q union mans
family suffered during the winner of
10000 because of the coal strike. Iu
Perth Amboy this winter, union men
and laborers have suffered sfor lack of
work owing to the great tie-up Of
Buildings in New York city and else
where last summer. Factories had
orders, but were ordered not to ship
the material until o settlement was
reached. Thus stockrooms were filled
and men were laid off. No matter
who WINS in the end, everyone,
whether interested or not, has to
suffer. 1t is for this reason the public
is anxious to see a peaceful settlement
of the difficulties in the anthracite
coal region. f..

TRANSPORTATION OF PRISONERS.

The complaints made by passengers
in trolley cars against the conduct of
prisoners being taken to the county
Jail is a just one and something should
be done to remedy the condition. The
tramps, having a sentence of from SIX
ty to ninety days staring them in the
face, do not care much what they do
and they make life miserable for the
other passengers, and in many in
stances unbearable. 1t was said that
some people, tound for Metuchen to
go to church Sunday morning, were
forced to listen to the most foul Ian
guage of the seven prisoners. They
might be chained together to prevent
them walking about the car, but it is
hard to stop their months. This is
not the only complaint. Some of
these fellows are so covered with YER
min that it is horrible to think of re-
spectacle people sitting in the seats
after they have left. The traction
company can hardly refuse to carry
them, yet the present state of affairs
is disgraceful. 1t presents a problem

HIS STORY DOUBTED
MAN CONNECTS HIMSELF WITH
 LOOMS CASE.
surrenders to English Authorities and
 Makes Charge That He stole
 Papers from the Miss iug Man.

London, Aug. 1s.-A man giving his name as Franz Schneider. surrendered himself to the Birmingham police to- day. accusing himself of stealing pa- pers from a person about Hampton believed to be F. Kent Loomis. The mans story is being investigated by the, police, but the latter attach no credence thereto, 1t being pointed out that Mir Loomis is not believed to have reached Southampton, and that no pa- pers are exported to be missing.
 The Associated Press learns that there is no reason to connect the late MT. Loomis with schneider's story, be- yond the mention of his name in the alleged confession. which is a vague account of how he and two other for eigners were hired by man speaking with a Russian accent to steal import ant papers from a passenger arriving at Southampton on German liner.
 Schneider says they waited at the pier, and when the passenger reached the gangplank he was pointed out by their employer. When the passenger left the standing stage they seized him. threw him to the ground and Schneider. according to one statement, abstracted from his pocket a large en- velope containing papers bearing the seal of the United States Government.
 Schneider says the next day he saw an account of MT. Loomis as being miss- ing He describes the victim as being i've feet nine inches in height. about 35 years old and having brown mous- tache. Schneider is about 30 years of age He has the appearance of a tramp, and describes himself as an en- gineer. He will be held for a week to enable the police to make inquiries. Schneider says he surrendered be- cause he was entirely without funds and had been in the Birmingham workhouse, but became tired of stay ing there. The authorities of the workhouse deny this statement. They say Schneider has not been an inmate of that institution. r
 Schneider asesrts that he was born in England. but he has the appearance of being an Austrian.
 He gave the police the name of a man who is alleged to have employed him to seucre the papers and also the names of two others said to be con- cerned in the theft
 He now asserts that his employer was a Russian. and says that after the robbery all four slept in a ware house before leaving which and his two associates received $25 each.
 The Birmingham police tonight say they are convinced that Mir. Loomis was not the victim of the robbery as alleged. They will however. investi- gate the case and possibly disclose an- other crime. but they discredit the whole story, believing it be sensation al fiction made up by Schneider.
