DUNBAR, THE NEGRO POE
SAN RE CAN LIVE BUT a MONTE;
At THE MosT-REG Refs THAT
HE Has NOT BEEN AISLE TO
% NOR FOR HIS RACE.

4 DAYTON, Ohio, Sept 23-Pau
I Laurence Dunbar. the negro poet, is
/ dying at the home of his mother in
/ this city, where he was born and
/ spent his early life. The doctors de,
/ clare that his case is hopeless, and
say that under the most favorable
{ conditions ne cannot live bur a
| month more at most.
Dunbar knows that he is fatally i'll,
that his life work is. TO be cut off ere
ii is fairly begun. and accomplishing
ly he accepts the verdict. His only
| regret is that he has not been able to
do more for the people of his race in
this country, in whom his heart al
ways has been wrapped up. He knew
them and his songs were filled With
the pathos and humor of their lives.
On May 5. while in New York. Dun
bar contracted heavy cold. which
developed into pneumonia. Despite
the utmost care, the pneumonia ran
into tuloercular trouble. and Dunbar
has grown weaker rapidly
Paul Laurence Dunbar was born in
Dayton in 1872. He was educated ut
the public schools. afterwards work
cd as & journalist in New York and
later was one of the attaches Of the
ton
Oaks and IVY, book Of poetry
Published in 1893, first brought Dun
bar 10 public notice, but it was not
until 1895. when q subsequent book OF
poems was published. to which VIII |
liam Dean Howells wrote an fntroduc-
rfo". that Dunbar gained lasting fame
as poet. Mr.. Howells wrote: AS |
Tar as I could remember, Paul Dun I
bar was Cor isl the only man of pure
African blood and of American civtIi- |
Zauon to feel the negro life esthetical- /
y and express it lyrically.''
Since then Dunbar's writings have /
odica!s. He has Published almost a |
score of volumes of verse and prose. |.
and has also written Iibrettos of com +
ic operas. notably In Dahomey,"
which is played by negro actors, la
all he has achieved marked success,
both in this country and abroad.
Dunbar has written a number OF
poems that bear on death, but per-
laps his best effort in this respect is
lis familiar Death Song" which is

The Associated Press is also crediby
informed that the British and French
governments have reached a thorough
understanding by which they have
pledged nonlnterference. Russia now
feels much more secure against Europ-
can complications. The more moderate
tone of the English and the Russian
press during the past few days is re-
garded as additional evidence of a better
understanding between the two govern
ments.

Death of William Michel.

The Dalles. Or, March 3.-William
Michel, one of the pioneer residents of
this city, died at his residence on Fourth
street early this morning, after a pro-
longed illness, of heart disease. He had
been i'll about four months.
Mr.. Mcneil was native of England,
where he was born August %, 1898, and
came to America while boy, settling at
Dodgeville, Wis. On May 50, 1861, he
was married TO Miss Sarah Wells, of
Mineral Point, Wis, and with her came
to Oregon in 1868, taking up his resi-
dence at The Dalles, where had since
resided. Mr.. Michel was conspicuous
member of the community, and held

DRIVEN BY GALE.
Lives and Property Destroyed in
Oklahoma by Fire.

Lawton, Okla, March 3.-Driven by a
terrific gale from the north. which at
times reached the velocity of 90 miles an
hour, a prairie fire swept over thousands
upon thousands of acres of Kiowe and
Comanche Counties last night, DESTROY
ing hundreds of farm buildings and much
livestock, made 1000 persons homeless,
caused the death of several persons.
threatened number of towns and swept
away scores OF buildings in the outskirts
of towns.
The country was very dry, no rain
having fallen for months. Grass and
stubbe fires set by farmers, as is GUS
tomary at this season of the year, were
soon driven beyond control by the gale,
which rose suddenly.
All estimates of the loss exceed S2O),-
000 at Hobart, the county seat of XII
owa County, the fire destroyed numer-
GUS outlying buildings. The 70, 900 acres
of Government military and timber and
Indian reserve near Hobart were swept,
with loss of buildings and cattle.

NATIONAL IRRIGATION.
Two and Quarter Millions to
Build Dam and Canals.

Washington. d. c., March 5.-Tht
wild and wonderful topography OF north
western Wyoming is to be the scene O
great engineering activity. A recent
action of the Irrigation Reclamation
Service in setting aside two and quar-.
ter million dollars for the construction
of huge dam and irrigation works on
the Shoshone River in Wyoming lends
interest to some little known lnvestga
tons which have been made in this un-
inh abited wilderness, A brief discus
sion of the work of the government en-
gineers during the past year in this
region will be found in the forthcoming
second annual report of the Reclamation
Service, but the explorations and sur.
veys of the government date back almost
to the Civil War.
The Shoshone project has great possi
bilities and when completely worked out
will probably irrgate fully 100000 acres
of waste lands. parched, but holding in
their dry embrace enduring fertility.
Rising near the boundary of the Vel
lowstone National Park in northwestern
Wyoming that natures wonderland,
the Shoshone River, flowing eastward, !,
rushes into canyon cut down through
solid granite. The flow of the Shoshone
named by the Indians "Stinking Water"
because of it's suphurous origin among
the Yellowstone springs, is highly varia-
BILE, in time of flood 5000 or 10000 cubic
feet per second, and again as low as 250
feet. The possibilities of this project
therefore lie in the storage of the floods.
Joining the walls of this granite canyon
the government will build cement and
stone uam, as lmmOVaDle as the ever
lasting rocks themselves. and rising 10
feet above the river level forming
great lake covering $500 acres and with
storage capacity OF 10000 900 cubic
feet. The canyon at the dam site is but
Is feet wide ct the river level, and at the
curb of the proposed dam 140 feet wide,
thus forming an acute inverted triangle
with the point disappearing into the
river. The stored snow water will be
lead from the reservoir onto the agricul-
tura lands through a system of tunnels
and canals about four miles in length.

Washington, March 4.-The Star to-
night says:
Senator Fairbanks will not resist a
movement to make him the Vice-Presi-
dental nominee of the Republican
party. If the convention nominates
him he will accept. More than that, he
will not attempt to discourage efforts
looking to his nomination.
1T is only tair to say that no explicit
declaration by Senator Fairbanks to
that effect has been made. The Indi-
ana delegation in Chicago was convinced
today that Senator Fair banks yielded to
the solicitation of men high in the coun-
ellis outside of Indiana to take second
place on the National ticket.
"Almost without exception his closest
political friends have advised him, in
his own interest. against accepting the
Vice Presidency. Influential Republic
ans in the Senate, such men as Spooner,
Allison and Platt, haye urged him to
take it on the ground that he would

peclally in financial circles, and that his
first duty is to his party rather than to
his own political future"

Russia Now Feels Secure.

St. Petersburg, March 4.-There exists
high authority for the statement that
Russia now has reason to feel more tram
quill regarding the attitude of Great Brit
ain. The real reason of the visit to st.
Petersburg of Count neckendorff,
Russian Ambassador to Great Britain,
while ostensibly to see his son off to the
Far East, was personally to assure his
government of his belief that the suspic
ions concerning Japan's ally were Ill
founded. and that Great Blitaln, although
standing by the obligations of the Anglo
Japanese treaty, would not move unless
compelled to do so by the entrance into
affairs of the Far East of third power.
Count Beneckendorf had long inter
view with the Czar and Foreign Min ster
Lamsdorf and the Associated Press
learns that he convinced the authorities
that Great Britain was acting in good
faith. He conveyed also Great Brtain's s
assurance that the Anglo japanese trea-
ty contained no secret clauses, and that
it was not directed especially against
ing to British authorities, the preserva-
tion of the balance of power in the Far
East, which might be threatened by an
other coalition such as followed the Chi
no Japanese War, aud which resulted in
the exclusion Of Great Britain from fur

VANGUARD is HERE.j
First of Advancing Army of Set
tiers Come to Oregon.

Trains on the Northern Pacific and 0.
X. & roads which arrived Friday
brought the first flock of settlers who
are taking advantage of the reduced
rates from Chicago, Missouri River
points and St. Paul common points to
come West to the land where the biz.
yards and sunstroke are unknown and
where the soil answers a tickle with a
bumper crop, says the Oregonian.
The trains arriving in Portland Fri
day came in two sections on both roads,
not only one train on each road, but al
of them being thus doubled. They not
only filled the extra sections, but over
is such swarm in prospect that it is
expected that three sections will some.
times be needed.
The people who are coming West, at
this time are not merely homeseekers
who come to look around and then 90
back to deliberate for whole year up
on selling out their farms in the East
and investing the proceeds IN larger
farm in the West. They are the actual
settlers who result from such excursions
made last year and in prior years. They
bring their wives and families, their
goods and chattels, money with which
to stock their farms and furnish their
new homes. They have come to stay
and thereby to swell Oregon's popula
ton and wealth. The great majority
had bought tickets through to the coast,
and all these had their new homes al.
ready selected and have come to take
possession.
These new settlers have been drop
ping off the trains of the three Northern
roads all the way through Idaho, Ore
gon and Washington, so that their num-
bers are greatly reduced by the time
the trains reach Portland. About 60 of
those who came in were transferred to
the Southern Pacific, being bound for
points in the Willamette Valley and
other parts OF Western Oregon. They |
are only the advance guard of steady |
daily stream which will pour out. from
the Middle West for the next two |
months. AS the settlers rates only |
went into effect on March l, the trains |
which left Missouri River points on
that day and arrived in Portland Friday
were the first on which these tickets
were good. BY the end OF next week
the westward tide should have gained
its full strength and the migration
should add tens of thousands to the
population of the Pacific Northwest.
The return tide from this movement
will be small, if any, for the rates only
apply west bound and for the single
rip. The rate is $33 from Chicago and
st. Louis and $25 from st. Paul and
Missouri River points from March l to
\Iay l, but, if the people who come
Vest at these rates wish to return, they
will have to pay the full regular fare.

WHEAT WAS FOR SALE
Bears Caused a Decline in
Values of Grain.
RECEIPTS WERE LARGE
Provisions Follow the Grain
Market and Slump.

Chicago, Jan. 9.-Before trading began
reports indicated that an effort would be
made to bear the market. There was
considerable wheat for sale here at the
highest and May was Il TO @493s lower
at s61k to 81. Long support sent it up
10 81 as but offerings were so liberal
that the price was soon ueclined. Later
in the day the big bull was an open sell
Ter and prices declined TO S5q24. The do
nestle situation was moderately bear
ish, large increase in the visible sup
ply being expected for Monday. Receipts
We're large and the cash demand slow.
May closed at S. Clearances of wheat
and -four were equal TO POI, 700 bushels.
Primary receipts $4,000 against 60S.40o a
year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi
cago reported receipts of 572 cars. against
e72 cars last week and 437 cars a year
ago.
Corn was comparatively firm early in
the day, due to small receipts and the
poor quality of the crop.
May opened at Az and after selling at
47ss. the price declined to 1854, closing at
1901. Local receipts were 800 cars, with
one of contract grade.
oats weakened along with wheat but
there was not much in the short side
May opened 1sG4 to y lower at IS to
3s1s, sold between 1915 and 3912G5s, clos
ing at 39ss Local receipts were 10 cars
Provisions were weak influenced at the
start by a decline in the price of hogs
and later by the slump in grains. The
selling was quite general and as prices
declined stop orders were reached. May
pork closed Sec lower at $3.50 May
lard was off 121a at $50 and ribs down
10 at s6.521R
Estimated receipts for Monday:
Wheat, % cars; corn, $50 cars; oats,

the best The. opening week of the new
year in the stock market showed stocks
in an awakened manner and the result
ant issuing OF the money market The
attempts TO take profits by buyers haze
proved an overweight upon the market
and some sharp declines have result
ed. The latter portion of the week has
seen some ,liminution of selling pressure
and sluggish recoveries. The acute stage
reached in the far eastern war situa-
ton and poor showing OF earnings made
by the corporation for the December
quarter have been causes for loss in
stock prices The action of the steel d.
rectors in disseminating the dividend on
the common stock had been accurately
foreseen in speculative circles but the
great decreace in net earnings for the
quarter proved trying thing for stock
holders
Current trade reports were not calculat-
ed to remove entirely the feeling OF dis
couragement over the situation as. they
pointed to a continued waiting attitude
on the part of consumers and a con-
fidence that they would be able TO fiji
their requirement as developed on salts
factory terms. The preferred stock of
the Steel corporation, however. made
some resistance on the pressure on buy
ing attributed to support ing orders by
the banking interests associated with the
corporation. Spectators gave some at
tention to the argument in the depres-
sion of the price was due to bear move
ment.
The action of prices made clear that
war is evidently expected to benefit the
market for our food products, wheat ris-
ing sharply on all war reports while cot
ton ran off as sharply on the belief that
war would affect the Chinese demand for
cotton cloth. From the financial stand
point there is little cause for depression
from our standpoint of values There was
probability of the entry upon a war by
Russia would develop money require
ments in Paris. Sterling exchange in
New York in fact advanced sharply.
after some engagements of gold in Lon
don for import early in the week. But
sterling has also been reduced in Paris.
Foreign money markets have grown with
the turn of the year and the usual large
payments of loans have been made Our
own money market has relaxed to a con-
dition Of very pronounced ease without
resulting in the investment demand for
success which was hoped for. Corpora
ton borrowings of the banks are alb
sorbing part of the available supply Of
credits and there is some fear that these
borrowings will be largely extended. Off
cial limitations have been given that the
New York Central does not intend any
immediate financing to provide for its
furnishings
The successful absorption of 100000
of bonds of one of the subsidiary roads
for subversion was another holpful fac
tor.
The movement of bond prices has been
sluggish and irregular.

clined IA per cent on call during the
