HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
GOLD FIND IN CROOK COUNTY.
Cline Butte Contains a Mass of Gold
Bearing Rock.

Cline Butte Contains a Mass of Gold
Bearing Rock.
Bend-Cline Butte, Is miles north
of Bend, has been found to contain q
large mass of gold bearing rock. The
whole butte is supposed to be of the
same character and there has been quite
a rush to locate claims there. There is
room, however, for less than a dozen
mining claims on this butte, but SIM
liar geological formation extends
through string of hills to the west
ward and prospecting is in progress
there.
The rock is porphyry and quartizite
and it carries about 81 in gold and a
little silver to the ton. This surface
outcrop is considered very promising.
The ease with which this rock can be
mined gives it value, even at this low
grade. It is estimated that at least
half its value will be profit. The rock
is of the same kind that is found in
the Ochoco mines, northeast of Prime
Vile.
This discovery was made by Otto
Retzlaff and G. P. Becker, the latter
having spent year and half on the
Yukon, where he became acquainted
with gold mining. Steps are being
taken to develop the Cline Butte claims.

JAPAN TO HAVE FiNE SHIPS.
Vessels Ordered In England VIII Be
Ahead of Those of That Country.

Ahead of Those of That Country.
London, April 12.-The two new bat
tleships ordered in England by Japan
will be exceedingly powerful, their
length, 445 feet, exceeding that of the
most powerful British battleships by
20 feet. In order to meet the capacity
of docking accommodations, the beam
and draught have been fixed at 7S feet
and 26 feet respectively. Each will
have displacement of Is, 400 tons. Il
Their main batteries, it is said, will
be the most powerful yet devised, con-
sisting of four 12-inch guns, four TO-
inch and five 6-inch guns each. The
armored belt at the water line will be
nine inches thick with, six-inch armor
continuing to the level of the deck. A
rev feature will be superstructure Of
four-inch armor, insuring that no part
of the upper works will be unprotected {.
In. addition to the two battleships
actually ordered, Japan is contemplate
ing two more vessels of that description
to be built here.
Formal orders for two battleships
were placed by Japan with Vickers,
Maxim & Armstrong January 80, the
orders being to expedite their construc-
tion as speedily as possible. They are
to have speed of 10 knots and will be
able to discharge IL tons of projectiles
per minute from their main batteries.

DIFFICULTIES OF IRRIGATION.
Geological Survey Points Out Need for
Great DEMONSTRATION.

Washington, April 13.-The pro-
gress made in the irrigation work of
the government is reviewed in publi-
cation issued by the geological survey,
which points out the necessity for great
caution and conversation in the expan-
sion of the reclamation work. It says
that of the irrigation projects favorably
reported in 1908, which included those
on the Truckee river in Nevada. on the
Salt river in Arizona, on Milk river in
Montana, on the Sweetwater river in
Wyoming and on Gunnison river in
Colorado, the Nevada and Arizona pro-
jects have been found feasable and con-
struction on the engineering works
along the Truckee and Salt rivers has
progressed to a reasonable extent.
The Montana project, however, has
presented unexpected engineering diff
culties, as we'll as complications regard
ing water rights, so that progress is
slow. It has been found necessary to
modify the first plans in order to
achieve early results.
Engineering difficulties are encount-
cred in the Colorado project. The
amount of arid lands thereby 1eclama-
BILE is less, too, than was expected.

OPPOSES GENERAL STAFF.
Secretary Moody Gives House Commit
tee His Reasons.

Washington, April 13.-Secretary
Moody is not in favor of the creation of
a general staff in the navy modelled
after the general staff of the organiza-
ton in the army. This fact he COM
municated to the house committee on
naval affairs today in hearing granted
him on bill of his own drafting, 'to
increase the efficiency of the navy"
The secretary explained that this bill
did not really enlarge his present au-
thority in the matter of an advisory
board. He now has the right to create
such board of any number of officers
and continue them on the board for any
length of time. He said a civilian
had been, and always would be, at the
head of the navy, and it was proper he
should have expert advice, but as he
was responsible to the country he
should be master of the situation. No
board, he said, should be created which
would usurp the powers of the secre-
tary. The committee took no action
on the bill.

HEAVY FIRE LOSSES.
Shown by Annual Report of Insurance
Commissioner Dunbar.

Commissioner Dunbar.
Salem-An increase of over 10 per
cent in the fire insurance business, a
decrease of II per cent in net premi-
ums on fire insurance, an increase of
1S per cent in both business and net
premiums in life insurance, and the
withdrawal of all but three surety COM
panies, are the most prominent features
of the annual report of Insurance Com
missioner F. I. Dunbar.
The report covers the year 1903, and
was compiled on April 1. as required
by law. Though the report shows the
healthy industrial growth of the state,
as indicated by the increasing fire in
surance business, it also shows the de-
creasing profits caused by unusual fire
losses. In the past five years the
amount of fire risks written per year
has increased about so per cent. In
1899 the total as $64, 100, 900. In 1908
it as $95 500, 900. The net premiums
for 1908 are less than in 1902, or for
any other year since 1898. The fire
losses for 1902 were 1863, 900 and for
1908 $1,314,OOO or an increase of
almost 100 per cent. Seven companies
lost money last year on their insurance
business in Oregon.

CHINESE WILL BIB KEPT OUT.
American Policy VIII Continue, No Mat
ter If New Treaty Is Made.

Washington, April 12.-In cabinet
meetings and in conference directly be-
tween the executive heads of depart
ments the whole subject of the status
OF the Chinese immigration question,
as it will be after the lapse of existing
treaties, has been thoroughly digested,
and it can be stated that the admins
tration feels that it has ample warrant
for continuing to enforce the rigid pro-
visions of the the Chinese exclusion
act regardless of the denunciation of
the treaty. So far from opening the
door to Chinese immigration, the lapse
of the treaty, will, it is said, actually
render the entrance of Chinese into
this country more difficult than while
the treaty remained in force.
This fact has been pointed out to the
Chinese government by Mr.. Conger,
who has not yet abandoned the effort
to induce the Chinese government to
reconsider its denunciation. However
it is positively stated that the exclusion
laws will continue to be enforced after
December next, whether the treaty
expires or not.
Attorney General Knox has under
consideration the question of the valid
ity of the exclusion law of 1902 in view
of the denunciation of the treaty, and
he will prepare and submit to the pres
ident an opinion on the subject. Both
the president and the attorney general
have discussed the matter with MEM
be1s of congress. It is being consid-
cred, too, by members of both branches
of congress, and if it is deemed neces-
sary some legislative action wiz be
taken on it before adjournment. If it
should be concluded that the denuncia-
tion of the treaty by China would rem
der imperative existing laws regarding
Chinese exclusion, the probable course
of action will be to attach to one of the
pending appropriation bills an amend
ment forcing the exclusion of Chinese.
Members of congress are generally
agreed that no difficulties will be ex-
perienced in passing the legislation if
it should be regarded as necessary.

New Capital of Philippines.

Chicago, April 12.-Plans for the
new capital of the Philippines were
made known today by Secretary OF War
Taft. Secretary Taft said: ''The new
capital will be about Is miles from
Manila, on plot of ground over 5000
feet above the sea level, which will
make it far more healthy for Ameri-
cans. It is to be to the Philippines
what what Simla is to India, and will
be of great benefit to the islands. The
climate is superb, the location good and
the new opportunities for men with
capital will be very great"

Coles Hot Springs Sanitarium.

La Grande-Arrangements are being
made for the erection of sanitarium
at the Coles hot springs at Haines. It
is reported that DIR. May and other
Baker City parties, who have a AZ
year lease on the property, have en-
tered into contract with Mr.. Smell of
Haines to furnish 25O,OOO feet of lum-
ber for the construction of the build
ing. This will make two springs of the
kind in Eastren Oregon, the Hot Lake

cation in New Mexico IN 1902, shows
254 ,945 acres irrigated from all sources
The number of farms represented was
9,2S5, and the average cost per irrigat
ed acre $16.S7. The 1,246 irrigation
systems cost, initially for main canals
and bitches and the necessary head

Construction.
Cottage Grove-That the Oregon &
Southeastern railroad may be extended
into virgin timber lands, construction
work is to be renewed after an interval
of four months.
A grading gang will start at once and
a tracklaying gang will follow in few
days. G. B. Hengen, of New York,
manager of the road, says the line will
be extended this season to Warehouse,
ten miles from here. Two miles of
grade are now almost ready for the
track.
Manager Hengen declares that the
depressed lumber situation will not
long continue, and wishes to have the
road extended into new timber belts to
take advantage of livlier market.
The new electric plant of the Oregon
securities company will be commenced
this week. Manager Hengen says. A
gang is now connecting the machine
drills in the long tunnel. The COM
pany expects to strike the Champion
ole chute in about 80 days from this
tunnel, which will be used later for an
electric road from the Champion to the
Musick mine.

St. Petersburg, April -13.-It is stat
ed that the Russian government has
decided to make an extensive use of
armed automobiles during the coming
campaign in Manchuria. A large
number have recently been imported,
they being the latest product of the Sc
lect factories in Germany, France and
Belgium, and the first batch will be
sent to the front from Moscow on a
special train today.
They are to be manned by experience
ed officers drawn from the last gradu-
ates from the military, and it is expect
ed that they will be of very great ad-
vantage to General Kuzliki, to whom
has been entrusted the making of all of
the arrangements for the trip of the
Baltic feet to the Far East, has trans
mitted to the czar the preliminary re-
port of what is expected to be accom-
plished. He declares that it will be
possible to get the feet to it's destina-
tion before the last of August, should
nothing unforeseen happen.
Two Russian army corps are to be
modified during May. One of these
will have headquarters at and will be
drafted from Moscow and the surround
ing towns, while the other will come
from Siberia. The officer who made
this announcement stated that Russia
did not consider herself in any danger
from Japan and that therefore she
would not remove any of the troops
along her seaboard where they might
be needed should any other nation have
designs against her.

DEATH IN WRECK.
santa Barbara Street Car Overturned
and Five Killed Outright.


Santa Barbara, CAL, April 13.-A
street car loaded with passengers re-
turning to town from the Old Mission
ran off the track at Garden and Mis-
sion streets today and five deaths have
resulted. All of the dead we're Santa
Barbara people. Over 20 of the pas
sengers were injured, many of them
being frightfully mangled. Over half
of the injured bad bones broken about
the body and not few of them suffered
serious fractures of the skull.
The accident was due to a defect in
the brake apparatus, was as revealed
from an inspection of the car, after the
accident. While the rear brakes were
tightly set against the wheels, the for
ward brakes we're of no service because
of the breaking of part of the gear
ing.
The motorman discovered that some
thing was wrong With the car several
blocks above the point where the acci-
dent occurred and endeavored to set
the brakes, but failed to check the
speed of the car. At the intersection
of Garden and Mission streets there is a
sharp curve, and the car was moving at
it's highest speed down a 5 per cent
grade when the curve was reached.
The car was thrown from the track
upon its side, the passengers being
thrown in evrey direction. One section
of the car was smashed into splinters.
Those who were instantly killed and
rany of those who were most seriously
injured were standing upon the guard
rail on the side of the car as it crashed
into the ditch.
AS soon as the news of the accident
spread throughout the city every avail
able physio ian was sent to the aid of
the injured and many prominent resi-
dents of the city we're among those
who aided the suffering and dying. A
majority of the injured were taken to
the hospital and the remainder were
removed to their homes.

Convict,s Sensational Suicide.

Fresno, CAL, April 1S.-Richard
Manoogian today, while waiting the
return of jury which had tried him
on the charge of numbering Oscar
Michael here on July 2, 1902, threw
himself from the window of Judge
Austin's courtroom, on the third floor
of the court house building, to the
pavement below, receiving injuries
from which he died. The jury had al
ready pronounced him guilty and would
have given him life imprisonment.
