OREGON NEWS OF INTEREST
ASH REPEAL or EDDY Law.
Movement on foot Amongst ninln0
rieR of Eastern Oregon.

~ s-NShNs" Ob~NONs
Baker City.-There is a movement
among the mining men Of this section
OF the state to bring about the repeal
of the Eddy corporation law. A petit
ton Is being circulated asking the
legislature to repeal the law. II 1t Ia
not possible to secure the repeal OF
the law then 1t is hoped the legisla
ture will so amend the present law as
to reduce the fees charged mining
corporations. The mining men also
object to the annual tax to the state,
which ranges from sl25 to 5000. 1t
is pointed out that often a mining
company is obliged to incorporate for
large sum and await the sale of
stock before the work of development
can be pushed. Mining men say that
1t not infrequently happens that
mine Is incorporated and several
years elapse before 1t becomes pro-
ducing mine, yet under the present
law the corporation is obliged to pay
an annual tax to the state which In
some instances becomes heavy bur.
den, especially to the poor prospector.
The petitioners argue that an ex-
Ception should be made In favor of
mining corporations for the reason
that 1t is necessary to incorporate un
developed claims in order to raise
money to exploit them. A strong lob
by will doubtless be sent from all the
mining districts to work for the re-
peal or amending of the present law.

LAND ORIGINALLY A SwAnp.
Testimony OF ex-Survev0r General
IN Warren Valley Case

Salem.--The deposition of ex-Sur.
veyor General w. II. Byars was taken
before Frank Lowell, assistant secre-
tary of state, In the suit brought by
the State of Oregon against the War
ner Valley Stock Company, to cancel
patents issued to that company which
were alleged to have been issued upon
the fraudulent representation that
they were swamp lands.
Mr.. Byars testified that he surveyed
the township in which the greater
part of the land is situated, as United
States department surveyor In Aug.
ust, 1879; that at that time the land
was so wet and swampy that he could
not run the survey across II and
he was compelled to meander It and
return the land as marsh; that he
tried to run the lines further into the
swamp, but had to back out, owing
to the swampy character of the land;
that he ran the meander line practl-
cally along the edge of the marsh;
that the land in controversy, at the
time this survey was made, had the
appearance of being permanent
marsh and was covered with a heavy
growth of tall swamp grass and flags.

HINT or PLOT.
Russia Said To Have intercepted
japanese FiGSSa0e.

st. Petersburg, Nov. s.---The Asso-
ciated Press has obtained official confir.
nation Of the sensational report that
an intercepted dispatch from the Jap
anese minister at The Hague would be
produced in the court OF inquiry into
the recent North sea affair to prove the
existence OF plot to destroy the Rus.
sian Baltic feet. There 10 said to be
good ground for believing the report to
be true, and there are many indica.
tions that the Russian government has
been long In possession OF strong evil
dence of Japanese plan to Intercept all
OF Admiral Roiestvensky's warships.
This explains the willingness Of Rus
sia to submit the case to international
arbitration. She would scarcely have
proposed this course unless convinced
she had a strong case.
1t also develops that Emperor Mich.
olas during an audience with British
Ambassador Hardinge declared In the
most positive terms that there were
Japanese torpedo boats In the North
sea. Apparently, Denmark was Inn
pressed by the same belief. The Rus
sian dowager empress, who was then
In Copenhagen, naturally did not fail
to communicate to her father the COM
munication received by her from St.
Petersburg. This would accent for the
extraordinary precautions adopted by
the Danish government in detailing
warships to escort the Baltic squadron
through Danish waters.
Another remarkable story is current
in well informed circles to the effect
that two balloons were seen lowering
over the Skagerack while the Russian
feet entered the North sea. These
were said to have been manned by jap
anese, with the object OF watching the
Russians and possibly dropping explo-
sives.
No hint Of suspicion is expected In
any responsible quarter that the Brit.
ish government was In the slightest de.
gree or in any way responsible for the
alleged Vaccinations Of the Japanese
agents. On the contrary, officials cir
cles express the highest praise for the
conduct of the British government
throughout the North sea incident.
1t is thoroughly appreciated here that
the activity Of the British feet was
necessitated by public opinion and was
in no wise intended to coRrCe Russia.

EAGLE POINT SURVEY.
Surveyor NCCaM Leaves Ashland In
Charge Of Party.

Medford.-Surveyor ]. A. Mccall, Of
Ashland, and party have left for Butte
Creek Falls to make the final survey
of the proposed railroad from the
Butte Falls Milling Companys plant
to Eagle Point, distance Of 15 miles.
Preliminary survey has already been
made between these two points and a
permanent survey will be made in
order to get everything ready for
grading, which will begin when the
survey is completed.
Construction work will commence
about April next. There are two
feasible routes from Eagle Point to
the Southern Pacific railroad, but so
far as known the choice has not yet
been made. The route from Eagle
Point to Medford is probably three or
four miles longer than to Central
Point, but the fact that Medford Is
the commercial center Of the Rogue
river valley and jackson county will
go far toward making 1t the terminal
of this road.

RUSSIA PROVOKED REGICIDe.
Sensational Charges Made by Bel
grade Newspaper.

Belgrade, Nov, "a great sensation
has been caused by the statement OF the
newspaper Narodi List that 1t has
proofs to the effect that the regicides
and conspirators are spreading among
the people the assertion that it was
Russia which desired the removal o.
the Austrophile Obrenovich dynasty.
1t is alleged by the paper that a Rus
sian official frequently had a conf
Dental conference with the principal
actors Of the tragedy.
1t is pointed out by the paper that
every one Of the regicides has received
the Star of Kaiageorge, and the state.
ment is now made that they are soon
to receive some distinction from the
czar OF Russia. The editor of the
paper challenges the Servian govern
ment to start action against him, as he
says he is prepared to prove his state
ments in court.

Lane Court Gives fair Money.

Eugene.-The matter Of an exhibit

finitely settled by the county court
making an appropriation of $500 to be

argument by a committee from the
Eugene Commercial club, who appeal

the county in order to show the pub

tion to make an exhibit that will sur
pass any. This in addition to the min

Bids for nrvdock Too Hlnh.

Washington, Nov. S.--The bureau OF
yards and docks probably will reject all
the bids that were received for the
completion of the big drydock at the
Mare Island navy yard. The bids are
considered as excessive, and II the con-
tract were made on the basis Of those
figures the cost Of the dock would far
exceed the original estimate and the
amount available for the work. 1t ID
probably that this work will be carried
on by yard labor, except in certain
parts, such as furnishing the electrical
material and building the caisson.

Fir Loo Prices Go Up.

Astpria.-There has been an i'm
provement during the past few days
in the demand for yellow fir logs in
the Lower Columbia river district, and
as a result the price has advanced
from $6 and $3.50 per thousand to 81
and $3.50. Several of the loggers have
already notified the millmen that no
more sales will be made at the old
figures. The cause of this advance is
a better market In the East for the first
grades OF lumber, and drop off in
the demand for the lower grades.
