ANNUAA sCEIDOL MEETING.
Unusual Interest and Large Vote
Cast.

very large vote was pOlled at the
regular meeting for the Heppner dis
trict which was held at the council
chamber last Monday afternoon, and
the interest taken WAS unusually great.
Some time before the meeting was

and many were standing on the outside
looking in at the door and through the
windows.
About 20 ladies were present and as
they We're tax payers most of them

visitors to get look at the precious

out the state, in addition to free gold
from quartz diggings. To Fasteners.
who seldom see gold, even in coin, the
metal display is particularly interesting
In the center of the Oregon display
small pavilion has been erected, the out
side of which is covered with quartz
specimens from all parts of the state
Within, Superintendent Fred Mells, OF
Baker City, who has charge OF the exhi-
bit, has a small Office where he enter
tains visitors and tells them about the
wonders OF Oregon mines and the treas
ures that remain buried underground in
the Blue mountains and the Cascades
A large display of cinnabar, the min
eral from which quicksilver is extracted
occupies prominent position in the
showcases Clnnabar is found in but
few places in the United States, and the
Oregon display is good. The stone is
gray, with pink streaks of sulphide of
mercury, and is very pretty.
Photographs of Oregon mines and
large ore displays from all parts of the
state go to make up the rest of the show.
Considering the short length of time
that Oregon mines haye been extensive
ly operated, the exhibit is excellent.
Mon tana's mining exhibit is one the
most interesting displays on the grounds
because OF the large copper showing.
Great piles of the red metal are stacked
up at each corner of the space occupied
by the exhibit while samples from every
part of the smelling process are shown
for public instruction. A relief map Of
Butte showing the different holdings OF
the Amalgamated Copper Company, f.
Augustus Heinze, and other operators
attracts universal attention
The Mining Building itself is very
handsome, and is considered one of the
best pieces OF architecture on the fair
grounds. At each door stand obelisks
which give the structure an Oriental eff
feet that is very attractive.

The following from the Ashland
Tidings represents the sentiment
Of great many people: "That
the present registration law of
Oregon is a useless institution as
far as the smaller towns and cities
ard country districts of the state
are concerned is conceded in many
quarters, and there is not little
agitation in the country press of
Oregon revived by the recent
election, for its abolishment, or at
least for the confning of its ap-
plication to Portland and perhaps
one or two others of the larger
communities Of the state. It was
enacted as measure to shut out
illegal voting in the state. There
is practically no chance for illegal
voting anywhere in Oregon except
in city like Portland; or perhaps
in Astoria, where there is con-
siderable floating population.
Country people resent the exac-
tions of registration laws as an in
fringement of their rights and as
an uncalled for and unnecessary
encumbering Of the franchise. Be-
sides, it is argued that the pro-
vision of the present law which al
lows six freeholders to certify to
the qualifications of an elector is
lame place that serves to often
defeat the purpose of the law.
This provision was made for the
relief of actual voters who might
find it impossible to register during
the time prescribed for registra-
ton and seemed just, but when op-
portunity is taken to abuse its
privileges it thwarts all the pur-
poses Of the law and allows any,
body and everybody to vote"

The GAZETTE understands that
the proposition to move the Hepp-
ner Touring mills to lone is being
reconsidered. Heppner should en-
courage every industry and see
that the mill is kept here. If the
mill should go it will not only
take tins much away from the
town, but it is very likely that it
will affect the price Of -four and
mill feed in such way as to not
make it any cheaper. This is
something that should not be
passed over lightly.

Widespread Attention.

Oregon's mining exhibit, while not as

fails to produce a favorable impression
on Worlds Fair visitors.
As with all other Oregon displays, eff
forts have been made to make the show
ings especially attractive. Some states
have installed exhibits, which though
complete and very large. are unattract-
i've and fail to secure the attention of
sightseers. Exhibits above all must in
terest people, and when they fail in that
particular they cease to be benefit to
the state.
The part of the Oregon mining exhibit
that is most popular is the display of
free gold. But few states have good ex-
bibits of the yellow metal in it's native
condition, and Oregon is one of the
number.

The Colombians hate the United
States with a bitter hatred" he said
and they probably have reason to dc
so from their standpoint. They have
become alarmed at the growth of i'm
perialism in this country and they are
even now in terror lest the United
States should swoop down on them and
take charge of their country
The only times that he spoke of his
illness and sufferings were in replies
to questions. He told OF. his expert
release from prison. Good English
teachers, he said, were in demand In
Colombia and when broken and I'M
poverished he had gone to teaching he
received an income of SO a day from
that employment. This. he said. he was
finally forced to give up because of his
suffering from rheumatism.
Those who Signed Bonds.
Those who signed the thirteen bonds
with Judge Randolph were William B.
Jones and w. NJ Hudson, wholesale
grocers; ]. B. Walter, T. B. Walter and
John W. Underwood, wealthy Mont
gomery County farmers; C. l.. Mat
thews, planter and G. NJ. Marks, coun-

Sheriff Waller had a letter from
Hon. Hilary A. Herbert volunteering to
sign the bonds and w. D. Wescott and
others also offered to sign them. The
sheriff said the securities were. suf-
ficient.
Judge Randolph left Montgomery

The Colorado Tragedy.

New Orleans Picayune.
There is no doubt at all as to the
character of this tragedy 1t was a
deliberate and dastardly attempt az
wholesale murder, instigated by the
spirit of lawlessness prevailing in Col
orado. 1t seemingly was the signal for
other acts of violence, as there has
been trouble in other places and
threats of still further trouble
1t is certainly an abnormal state of
AFFAIRS which makes any such act of
reckless violence possible in any State
A mere dispute over labor questions
does not warrant any such lawless ex-
hibition. and no community can permit
any such exhibition of violence to go
UNPUBLISHED. There can be no doubt
at all that the explosion which killed
liberate and well planned crime. which
included cool generalization and reck-
lessness of consequences of which no
ordinary criminals could be guilty
The affair argues the prevalence in
Colorado of n spirit of anarchy and
lawlessness which BODIES i'll for the fu-
ture welfare of that commonwealth.
Although all the victims were nom
union miners who have taken the posi-
lions of the strikers in the mines. 1T is
not conceivable that any responsible
labor leaders could have countenanced
such an act of reprisal or intimidation.
Such utter disregard of human life and
suffering could only be found among
full fedged anarchists.
This eliminating tragedy should
serve to bring all parties in Colorado
to their senses and induce them to get
together with a view to Strengthening
out the tangled relations between la
Dor and capital. The condition which
has existed for nearly a year has done
Colorado incalCulable harm, and has
driven much business to other less
lawless communities Certainly there
has been an absence of wise and con-
servative counsel such as commonly
settles similar controversies in other
communities.
OF course. the Executive of Colorado
cannot permit the perpetrators of this
latest outrage to go unpublished no
matter who they are. The rightful
supremacy of law and order demands
that the guilty parties be punished
without fear or favor, after a careful
investigation has fully fixed the gu44t.

of Burning Dwelling.
Centreville, June Especial. 1.-The
preliminary trial of the two negroes
charged with burning the dwelling
house of Charley Cottingham Wednes-
day night OF last week is now in pro-
gress. The case is being heard by D..
J. Frazer, justice of the peace, at the
court house.
Tuesday night a terrific rain visited
the community a few miles north of
Centerville doing great damage to the
crops. Fortunately the area covered by
the storm was not very large While
north and east of Centerville there
has been much rain recently, the far
mers south and west of town are COM
planning of the dry weather.
The people of this section are very
much gratified that the oficial of the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company
have put on two new trains on this
division.

Shot at a Negro.

John Johnson, a white baker, was
arrested late last night on charges o.
discharging firearms in the city limits
and of assaulting Jessie Howard. a ne
gro, with a pistol. The case was called
in the Mayors court this morning, but
ON account of the absence of the pros
ecuting witness. the trial was post
poned until Friday morning.
There is quite story behind this
affair, and Mr.. johnson will tell 1t
when his case comes for trial. 1t
seems that the negro had worked for
Johnson some time, but lately had
been discharged. 1t was made known
to Mr.. J(Dnsch that the negro had
threatened revenge, and several nights
was known to have awaited for Mr.
Johnson to pass. Last night he was
seen about midnight prowling around
and shot was sent in his direction.

Prospects for Carnival Dim.

According to the way things are
moving now, there will be no celebra-
ton of Mardi Gras on a large scale in
Pensacola next February. 1t is the in
tention of the committee to dispose or
at least $50 shares of stock at $25 each,
but to date there have been less than
100 sold. The Association held a meet
ing the other day and passed a reso-
luton the sense of which was that I'M
less the required number of shares
were disposed of by June Is, there
would be no attempt to arrange for
the celebration. This resolution, has
been published, but seems to have not
had the effect of inducing people to. pur-
chase the shares. and now IL looks as
II there would be no great time next
February. This Is a matter of extreme
regret to the public in general. for the
celebrations are always the occasion
of bringing thousands of visitors, and
1t is the hope that the difficulty will be
successfully bridged and one of the
Enthusiastically happy seasons en-
joyed.
