Kansas City, April 2O.-Commis-
sioner Garfield arrived here today
accompanied by Assistant Caswell.
Garfield said the work in Kansas has
assumed such proportions he will be
obliged to return to the field after
visiting California.
The commissioner went immedi-
a1ely to the offices of the Prairie
Oil & Gas company, and continued
his investigation there. At noon he
met by appointment Herbert S. Had
ley, United States representative in
the custer suits against the Standard
Oil, Waters Pierce and the Republic
Oil companies. Hadley desires infor-
nation as to Garfield's discoveries
in the Kansas field.
Before going to the conference
Hadley said:
I'VE have already secured enough
evidence to prove the Standard of
violating the laws of Missouri in
monopolizing the oil products of that
state. 1t is expected Garfield's pres
ent Investigations will make the
United States position stronger than
ever"

Orville w. Coffman will be the city
marshal of Pendleton after June /,
provided his election by the council
is approved by the mayor. At the
council meeting last night Marshal
Carney rendered his formal resigna-
tion to take effect June 1, and by vote
of the members present the same was
accepted. Thereupon Councilman
welles moved that Orville Coffman be
elected to fill the position when it
shall become vacant, and the motion
carried unanimously.
IL was upon his record as a police
man that Mr.. Coffman was selected
to have charge of the force. At the
meeting last night he was given a
strong recommendation by the retir-
ing officer, and was apparently the
choice of all the members. The new
marshal has lived in Pendleton prac-
tically all of his life, and consequent
ly is well acquainted with the people
and general conditions here.
Under the law the marshal is elect
ed by the council and is approved by
the mayor. While Mayor Matlock
has not yet formally sanctioned the
choice of last night, he stated today
that he will do SO and that the act
might be considered as already done.
Very little routine business came
before the meeting last night.
An ordinance adopting the new
grade recently established on West
Court street was read and adopted
under suspension of the rules. The
new survey was made at the request
of residents of that neighborhood.
Liquor licenses were granted to the
following: Tex Langiver, Swearingen
Bros, C. F. Hoehler, (wholesale) Fred
Schneiter, Joseph Hoch and F. ]. Ba-
con.
1t was reported by Street Commits
sioner Brown that parties were haul
ing dirt from some of the citys lots
in the southeastern part of town, and
also that garbage was being dumped
in a gulch in that vicinity. He was
thereupon instructed to post notices
forbidding the practice, and unless
they are needed prosecutions will fol-
low.
The question of street improvement
was scarcely touched upon last even
ing. A salesman was present for the
purpose of negotiating with the coun-
ell in regard to the purchase of a rock
crusher but he was told that the city's
needs were not yet known in that re-
spect.

GURDANE COAL
IS DEVELOPED
j. A. M'LAUGHLIN HAS A
VALUABLE PROPERTY.
Tunnel 100 Feet in Depth Has En-
countered Mixed Vein of Coal, Clay
and Slate Bearing Large Quantities
of Water-Quality of Coal Is First
class-Great Amount of Timber Re
quired to Prevent Soft Walls From
Caving-Mine Being Slowly Devel-
oped.

j.. A. Mclaughlin, of Gurdane, 40
miles southwest of Pendleton, the well
known sawmill man and owner of the
city today on a trading trip and is
making preparations to start his saw
mill for the summer run.
Mr.. Mclaughlin is convinced that
he has one of the best coal properties
In Oregon and is developing the vein
as rapidly as he can do so without
incurring great expense. With one
hired man he has sunk a shaft about
IS feet deep from the surface, straight
down through the coal stratas and
then has run a tunnel into the side of
the coal mountain about 100 feet in
depth. prosecuting the stratas and
draining the mine of the constant
flow of water encountered in it.
The coal is found in thin layers
running from 20 to 80 inches in thick
ness, with layers of slate and clay be-
tween and this entire mixed vein of
coal, clay and slate is more than 20
feet in thickness.
This entire vein is filled with water
causing constant stream 10 HOW
from the mouth of the tunnel.
Owing to the very great amount of
water carried in the clay it is neces-
sary to use a large amount of timber
and to be very careful to lag and crib
the walls up to the very surface on
which the miners are at work, to pre-
vent slide or cave-in.
Within the past week Mr.. McLaugh-
lin has encountered what appears to
be n solid slate wall and he believes
that he has at last penetrated to a
solid vein of coal.
The quality of the coal mined from
these thin stratas is excellent. 1t
burns up completely, leaving nothing
but light ash after the substance has
been consumed.
Timber is plentiful and he will con-
tinue to make the mine more and
more safe by heavy tagging and will
drive the tunnel further into the side
of the mountain in hopes of encoun-
tering a solid vein of excellent coal.
Mr.. Mclaughlin has had a large ex-
perience with coal and believes he has
valuable property. He will not dis
pose of any portion of 10, but will
continue TO develop it as he can,
with his limited means.

HOCH WANTS A GERMAN JUDGE.
Is Making Stiff Fight With Array

Chicago, April 20.-When his case
came up in Judge Kersten's court
today, John Hoch, on trial for the
murder of his wife, Marie Walker
Hoch, impressed upon his counsel
that he wanted German judge.
Hoch's counsel raised the point,
which may lead to a retrial.
He contends that the present grand
jury which reindicted Hoch, heard
no witnesses. Therefore, that the in
dictment is invalid. He also con-
tends that Mrs. Fischer -Hoch, being
the wife of the defendant, cannot tes-
tify against him. She is the star
witness against Hoch.

How Togo WIN Do II.

London, April 2O.-A member of
the Japanese embassy is quoted as
saying today:
"The Japanese have the Russian
fleet absolutely located. 1t has been
carefully watched by special agents
of the Japanese navy. Because of
this, the Russians cannot surprise
the Japanese fleet
"Japan's first interest is not to
fight an immediate decisive battle,
but to first weaken the Russians by
skirmishing, torpedo and mine at
tacks and by cutting off the trans
ports and weak GOLFERS, which are
unable to keep in close touch with
the main part of the Russian fleet.
THE Russian battleships will be
engaged only after a series of small,
preliminary successes.
Togo will open the battle at long
range. Before the battle proper
opens he will make night attacks
with his torpedo boats. In. torpedo
boats he has great superiority over
the Russians, not only in numbers,
but in speed and efficiency. If the
Japanese have their usual luck. they
may knock out a Russian battleship
or cruiser before the battle really
opens, which will make the issue alb
solutely certain for the Japanese.
Togo will bang away at long
range until he has put the enemy's
12 and 10-inch guns out of action.
then he will close in and turn loose
his eight-inch pieces. The Russians
have practically no eight-inch guns,
while the Japanese have 81, and
while the Japanese can hit the enemy

declared he would be unable to use
any of the evidence obtained by
Commissioner Garfield. or by the in
terstate commerce commission for
the criminal prosecution of the pack
ers, as such evidence was collected
for purposes of legislation and is ex-

Six witnesses were examined by

work of the jury will end about May

turned IL true bills are found.

Two Views of situation.

Klamath Falls, Ore, April 90
klamath Water Users association and
the klamath Canal company are
nearly $150.000 apart on the figure on
which the canal company shall give
way to the government project. Pres
ident Hawkins, of the Canal company.
is willing to accept $250.0O0 for the
entire property, reserving no rights,
but the Water Users association is on
ly willing to pay a reasonable bonus
over and above the supposed actual
cost of the works. This would mean
somewhere between 100000 and
$1S6j000.
President Hawkins states that his
company came in here in good faith
before the government had investi-
gated the klamath project. and that 1t
has spent $2O5,OO0 here, but that as
the land owners want the government
irrigation, he is anxious to make a set
tlement and avoid litigation. His
company, he says, has contracts for
from 25, 900 to 10000 acres of land
and II the government does not take
the water away from it, has a valua-
BILE proposition. Mr.. Hawkins goes
on to say that his company claims
the water 1T is diverting does not be-
long to the United States, but to the
state OF Oregon. He also says that If
his company were to win in the courts
the government would not go ahead
with the klamath project, and that the
company was going to fight for its
rights
