article sent in to the school was unfit
or out Of place for the very use in
tended.

CoNFIsCATED A BIBLE.
UnutterabIe Bigotry of Russia Brought
to Light.

New York, Nov. 24.-The methods
of the Russian government have been
brought home to New York woman
in curious manner. Last August sne
sent a Bible to friends In Warsaw
through a firm of local bankers.
Nothing was heard of the Bible un-
til this week, when the firm received
a letter from their Bremen forward
ing agents, in which 1t was stated tnat
the Bible had been confiscated by the
Russian government.
About the most curious part OF the
whole business is the fact that the
Russian censor charged fee OF VI
cents for confiscating the book TINS
fee includes both duty and censor
fees. The bankers believe that the
seizure was due to the fact that the
Bible was not the authorized Bible oi
the Greek church, which is the Rus
sian national religion.

REWARDED MAN
WHO SAVED HIM
"DIAMONDFTELD" JACK DA-
Wis REMEMBERS THE JUDGE
Once Condemned 10 Death tbe Noted
Adventurer Was Rescued by Judge
Powers, Who Became Convinced OF
Davis Innocence-After Making n
Stake in Tonopah He Rewards His
Benefactor by a Gift Of $4,000 in
Mining Stocks.

Salt Lake. Nov. 24.-"Diamondfield
Jack" Davis, the central figure In one
Of the most remarkable criminal cases
on record, has given the man who
drew his death warrant at Albion,
Idaho. six years ago, mining stocks
valued at $4,000.
Judge o. w. Powers Of Salt Lake,
is the recipient of the gift. In 1898
Judge Powers, with w. T.. Borah OF
Idaho, assisted the state in prosecut-
ing "Diamondfield Jack" for murder,
secured conviction and by order OF
Judge Stockslager. drew Davis death
warrant.
Afterward. having become convinc-
ed of Davis innocence, Judge Powers
appeared before the Idaho board OF
pardons to urge that Davis be releas-
ed. This was done. and about two
years ago Davis came TO Salt Lake
penniiess. Judge Powers loaned him
money enough to get to Tonopah,
New. and Davis departed with the
promise that he would repay the
money.
Since then Davis has prospered. As
one of the original locators Of the ia
nous claims at Goldfield and Dia-
mondfield, he secured large holdings
in the camps. changed his ways OF
living and is said to be leader OF
the law and order element in the min
ing section where he resides
Recently Judge Powers received
letter from the secretary Of the Dia-
mondfield Gold Mining Company in
closing $500 shares Of stock. with the
statement that It was the personal
gift of Davis.
The shooting for which Davis was
thrice sentenced to death was dou-
BILE killing committed in Cassia coun-
ty, Idaho, in 1896. The legal pro-
ceedings ran through six years. The
case at one time reached the supreme
court of the United States and almost
attained the proportions Of political
issue In Idaho.

Portland, Nov. 24.-That II is no
playful matter to monkey with the
United States government. is now
fully realized by Horace @. Mckinley
and Marie Ware, now on trial for de-
frauding the government by dummy"
land entries In the Roseburg land dis
trict.
At the close of the trial yesterday,
little had been accomplished except
to identify the signatures of the reg
lister and receiver of the Roseburg
land office, appearing on the fraudu-
lent entries on which the defendants
are being tried.
A bitter fight has been put up by
Judge O'Day for the conspirators. but
so far, the case of the government
is plainly and clearly drawn, and the
buoyant air of the defendants, seen at
the first day OF the trial. has disap-
peared.
Judge O'Day made an attempt to
have the defendants released last eve
ming, ON the ground that the names
signed to the alleged fraudulent en-.
tries are not the names of his clients
and that therefore there was nothing
on which to hold Mckinley and Miss
Ware.
This was denied, and the case
against them tightened as District At
torney John II. Hall vigorously open
ed the trial.
sharp struggle ensued over. the
admission of 16 land entry papers
from the oregon City land office, as
evidence against the defendants, but
the papers were admitted in evidence.
as upon the filing of these documents
hinges the guilt of the accused.

Judge stephen A. Lowell, Pendleton
delegate no the National Irrigation
Congress Just closed at El Paso,
Texas, arrived home this morning. He
expressed himseh as highly pleased
with the work accomplished by the
Oregon delegation. The securing of
the next convention for Portland"
said he. means a great deal to the
Pacific Northwest. 1t is an education
al force that is far-reaching in its ef-
feet. The east has begun to appre-
ciate the value of irrigation in the
semi-arid regions of the west, and
there is liable to be a very large del
egation next year from the states be-
yond the Mississippi"
] Judge Lowell says that the words of
Booth-Tucker, uttered a year ago at
the Ogden convention, when he spoke
of the landless man to the manless
land" are beginning to sink into the
DIS of the easterners "The con-
ditions existing in the centers of pop
ulation," he continued, brings out the
need of more homes
Nalne of Maxwell Law.
The Maxwell act seems destined
TO accomplish even more than the
homestead law. The former has Its
mission to accomplish, and the lat
ter has almost finished its work. The
easterner knows what the homestead
Law has done. hut he mnst look to
the west now for his new home. and
the subject of the reclamation of the
semi-arid regions is OF as much inn
pOrtanoe 20 him as to us"
The sentiment in favor of the
Lewis and Clark fair, Mr.. Lowell de-
clares, is widespread and all the
states are expected to be well repre-.
sented at the congress when II con.
venes in Portland. AT this time,
he remarked, 1.-The eyes of the nation
are upon the Pacific northwest.
THE feeling prevalent that the
) Lewis and Clark fair has not beer
well advertised and is substantially
unknOWn, is incorrect We met peo.
