immigration to United States Falls
Off for Fiscal Year.

Washington, Dec. 7. - immigration
to the United States decreased materi-
ally during the last fiscal year, and it
is a notable fact that the moral, intel
lectual and physical qualifications of
the immigrants admitted to this coun-
try during the past year are higher
than ever before have been chronicled.
These are two salient features of the
annual report of Franz P. Sargent,
commissioner general of immigration.
During the past fiscal year S21 $40
liens arrived in the United States. 'of
whom $40, 100 we're males and 1858, 40
females, an increase of females, as
compaerd with last year, of Is, $40, and
decrease in males of 4.O46. Of the
total nun: her 1858 could read but not
write; 16S,9O3 could neither read nor
write, and it is presumed the remain
der, 64O.012, could both read and
write; 95,575 brought with them $50
or more each, and sol, $50, brought
less than $50 each. The total amount
of money shown to officers by these
S12 $40 aliens was 500. s94, 1888, or 81,
776: $40 more than was brought by the
857 ,O46 arrivals of last fyear.

QUIT WOOD FOR COAL.
Wood for Fuel is Getting Scarce
About PendlefOn.

Pendleton-Fuel dealers of the In
land empire are of the opinion that the
day OF wood burning is soon doomed,
as coal is rapidly replacing it. The
best of coal from the Wyoming beds is
sold at this place for $3.50 a ton, and
the coal from British Columbia and
Washington beds is fast becoming gen
orally used, both in Oregon and Wash
ingtoI.
At Kamela and Meacham, from
where Walla Walla ami Pendleton draw
the greater part of their wood, there
seems to be immense quantities stacked
in ricks for shipment, but competent
judges of fuel say that but about rs
per cent of it is clear. dry, green-cut
wood, such as commands the high
prices. So closely has the timber sup
ply been cut away that two trips day
hauls are being made from back in the
mountains six and eight miles. AL
though spurs from the main line back
in the mountains might easily be built,
they will proha ,ly never be built, as
coal will be much cheaper than the
construction of road.

BOTH HOUSES SOON ADJOURN
Day a Gala One - Galleries, Rather
Than Floor, Prove Center of
Attraction.

Washington, Dec. 6.-W.th the sen.
ate in session 13 minutes and the house
53 minutes, the last session of the
Fifty eighth congress was assem- bled
yesterday. The time of both sides was
devoted entirely to the usual formali.
ties of opening day. There were the
greetings between mem bers, the grand
floral display and the hundreds of Wis
itors with beautifully eowned women
predominating. Corridors, committee
rooms and cloak rooms were thrcnged.
From the letharey which has charact-
erized Washington since early in the
spring, the city awakened to new era,
and heralded with apparent joy the
day which opened both the official and
social sessions.
The streets we're crowded with peo-
pie intent on witnessing the cere-
monies. Carriages focked about the
hotels ready to carry guests to the cap
itol. and two hours before noon steady
stream of vehicles bearing gay parties
made its way to the east front of the
building.
Many newly elected members were
at the capitol, although they will not
enter Office until after March 4.
In both the senate and the house
committees were appointed to wait
upon the president and inform. him
that congress was ready to receive any
communication he had to send.
Resolutions OF respect to the memory
of the late Senator Hoar, of Massa-
chusetts, and Quay, of Pennsylvania,
we're adopted by both houses, and the
adjournment taken was in further trib-
ute to their memory.
The only business outside of the
usual first day routine was the adop-
tion of resolution in the house
extending until January 5, 1905, the
time within which the Merchant Ma
rine commission may make its report.

EDUCATION IN PHILIPPINES.
system Introduced by Americans is
Eminenfly Successful.

Washington, Dec 6.-Ihe Bureau of
Insular Affairs, War department, is in
receipt of number of bulletins pub
lished by the Bureau of Education,
Manila, which show tnat the system of
public instruction introduced into the
islands is eminently practical.
The purpose of those who are direct
ing the course of studies is to exalt the
dignity of labor. Effort is made to
train the eye and the hand as we'll as
the head. In the provincial secondary
schools two-year courses in mechanical
drawing, woodworking and ironwork-
ing are prescribed for students in arts
and crafts, and give the students fair
knowledge of mechanical drawings
blacksmithing and toolmaking. A
more advanced course includes archi-
lecture cabinetmaking, carriagebuild-
ing, woodturning and pattern making.
There are also ,ou, ses for machinists
and steam engineering.
Tools and equipment have been &C.
cured for eight different schools with
woodworking machinery and for three
schools for ironworking outfits. Par
ticular attention is given to the care of
instruments and tools.
Particular attention has been given
to normal school work in order to train
up class of native teachers for the
public schools of the islands and this
course has been pursued with eagerness
by hundreds of natives, but at present
there is no institution in the Philip
pines in which instruction is given in
English of sufficiently advanced char
acter to fit students to enter American
colleges. 1t is therefore proposed to
offer in the normal school preparatory
courses Of an advanced nature adequate
for the attainment of this purpose.

Safe Cracked at Hood River,

Hood River-Robbers cracked the
safe in the Hood River postofice and
got away with 1927 in stamps anu $173
in money. There is no clew as to the
thieves, except that crowbar and 9TH
er tools used in effecting an entrance
came from the railroad shops here. On
discovering his loss Postmaster Yates
Immediately wired the postal inspect
ors at Portland, who will make efforts
to apprehend the culprits. Common
black powder was used in cracking the
safe door. One or two persons sleeping
near by claim to have heard a slight
explosion during the night, but paid
no attention to the noise.

WATER ECHO LAND.
Coming Season will See Rapid Ad-
vance In Irrigation.

Echo-The coming season will mark
more improvements and enterprises In
irrigation for Echo and the vicinity
tributary than ever befole experienced.
Not only ale there immense extensions
planned for old bitches, but new ones
are being constructed, and land lying
bitches is prepared for cultivation for
the coming year.
With the hope of having more fav-
-orable irrigation laws passed in the
coming Legislature, those who have
been planning projects are beginning
activities. Heretofore the present laws
or the lack OF laws pertaining to water
rights have interfered with the devel-
opment of the country. Water has
been in dispute. Land has been in
litigation, and those who have been
anxious to see the betterment of Echo
and it's splendid lanos have hesitated
in risking their all in projects that
might at any time be taken into court.
The butter creek water company has
purchased an elevating grader and has
commenced widening and strengthen
ing their ditch. The Cold spring irri-
cation company is preparing to extend
the company's ditch across to their
lands on the north side of the Umatilia
river, and company has been formed
to build a small ditch to water a tract
of land of 100 acres adjoining Echo,
now in sagebrush. The Maxwell ditch
people are improving and enlarging
their ditch until it will reclaim nearly
s, 900 acres of land.
Besides these bitches smaller ones
are constantly being built, and in
few years the entire section of waste
land will be homes for farmers. This
season large number of land holders
are clearing large tracts of land vary
ing in size from 20 to 60 acres, and
will SOW to alfalfa.

TARIFF BILLS POUR IN.
Commission to Fix Rates and Draw
back are Most Favored.

Washington, Dec. 6. - Several bills
relating to the tariff have been intro
duced in the house of representatives.
The bill of Representative Spalding, of
North Dakota, provided for tariff
commission. The preamble of the bill
recites that no ordinary session of con-
gress can fully investigate the subject
and determine what changes will best
promote the general welfare. Nine
commissioners are to investigate and
report TO congress recommendations as
to the necessary changes in the tariff.
Representative Fordney, of Michigan,
also offered tariff commission bill.
Representative Lowering, of Massa-
chusetts, proposed three bills. The
first provided for the allowance of a
draw back, and the remission of intern
al revenue taxes on articles consumed
on vessels clearing for foreign countries
from United States ports. The second
provided for drawback on imported
articles, on which duties have been
paid, which are used in the production
CT, or are joined to, or form an insep-
arabic part of articles produced in the
United States, and the third provided
that where imported materials on which
duties have been paid are used as COW
erings or wrapping Of articles produced
in the United States there shall be al
lowed expectations of such articles a
drawback equal in amount to the du-
ties paid on the materials used as such
coverings.
Representative Baker, of New York,
introduced resolution reciting that
the tariff is fraud on the American
people wherever it is levied on any ar
ticle whose labor cost is less in the
United States than anywhere else.
He also introduced resolution call
ing on the attorney general to commun-
icate to the house his opinion as to the
extent to which the alleged combina-
tion of steel manufacturing companies
to restrict the output and fix the price
of steel constitutes violation of law.

call for it's employees and has shut
down after one of the most successful
runs il has made since its establishment
in this valley, it having consumed
something over 1000 tons of heets.
which yielded over 55 100 pounds of
sugar. The entire seasons run was
made without hitch, much to the sat-
isfaction OF all concerned, and the many
persons who embarked in the raising
of sugar heets express themselves as
we'll satisfied with their venture.

sIuslAw WORK UNFINISHED.
Congress to be Asked TO Make Use
of Plant Already Installed.

of Plant Already Installed.
Eugene-In view of the uncompleted
condition of the bar Improvement at
the mouth of the Siuslaw river, prom
inent citizens ef this county are now
interested in bringing the matter De-
fore the river aand harbor committee
of congress, hoping to make it clear 10
that body that the continuation of
work on that harbor would be wise.
Many years ago the government be-
gan the improt ement of the Siuslaw
harbor, after abundant reports had
been secured from engineers regarding
the proper method of deepening the
water on the bar. The plan adopted
was the jetty system. Small appro-
priations were made and the work
progressed to the extent of the funds
available. Then ali would rest until
another small appropriation would be
made. The jetty was only fairly under
way and just beginning to show what
might be done, when appropriations
ceased to come.
The business of the harbor has been
increasing and now amounts to consid-
erabIe, and business men of Florence
and Eugene hope TO prevail upon COD
gress to 60 ahead and finish the work
now we'll begun. The government has
d plant with which to work and could
in short time deepen the channel
several feet by the confning of the
water to the channel.
