1t will be good news to a great many
people who We're becoming troubled
about the changed character of the i'm
migration into this country that the
Irish are beginning to come here again
in something nearer the old time num-
bers. Last year $3.50 immigrants from
Ireland were admitted at the port of
New York. This was an increase of
nearly 1000 over the number in the
year before. Women and men were
in the proportion of about four to
three, and some 1000 were under IA
years old. They brought with them
altogether more than a million dollars

Those who have fallen under the I3.
huence of the insiduous Japanese drink,
sake, can discover what it is composed
of by reading decision rendered bv
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals the other day. The learned
court deliberated long and earnestly
over the question whether sake was a
still wine or beer, the point arising
in a customs case. The court found
resemblance to still wine in the per-
centage of alcohol and resemblances to
beer in the processes of manufacture,
saka being a brew from rice. But it
found further so many points of dis
similarity from both that it placed the
Japanese beverage in the catch all
clause of the tariff act which includes
all articles not otherwise enumerated.

Much adverse comment is being made
by lawyers and clergymen over an
amendment to the divorce laws of the
state which has been adopted by the
legislature at Albany. The amend
ment provides that suits for divorce
may be begun in the state of New
York by any nonresident if the of
fense complained of occurred in the
state. The defendant must be a resi-
dent of the state, but this stipula-
tion carries ns~weight with it, as any
person who has lived here a few days
can claim residence here. Under the
amendment, John Smith of Saginaw and
his wife, conspiring to have the law
separate them, might come to New
York, live here few weeks, and then
the wife could bring a suit. She could
claim residence here, and could name
her husband as a resident. 1t would
then be a matter of only few months
at the most to get decree 1t is de-
Cjared that the amendment is dangerf
Gus in every respect, as it would form
in this city a rival to the divorce colony
in Dakota. Governor Higgins will be
petitioned not to sign the amendment

After much thought on the subject
the coroner's Office has decided to at
tribute to the strenuous life the un-
precedented number of sudden deaths
which have occurred of late. For that
reason all coroner's physicians have
been instructed to exercise the great
est possible care in examining the bod
les of all persons reported to have
"died suddenly" Coroner Nicholas
Brown, discussing the subject, says:
"The weather alone has not been re-
sponsible for the enormous number of
deaths reported as sudden There are
other and more cOgent reasons. Peo-
Pile live too fast; they drink and eat
too much and too often and too rapidly.
Some smoke too much, and cigarette
fiends especially are subject to death
from heart failure. Others whiz
through the streets and country roads
in automobiles. While they may escape
accidents, they die suddenly in bed or
elsewhere Of heart trouble. People
who run up elevated railway stairways
TO catch train may lose their lives
as result. The men and women who
rush up subway stairs may not die while
so doing, but they may die the next
day. 1t is the same with people walk
ing rapidly home or to work or to
luncheon.

Many of the strangers who come to
New York nowadays make a pious pill

has long been given over to business
purposes salesrooms occupying the first

Chicago, Nov. 2.-Extracts from the
diary of Miss Mary l.. p. Hill, medical
student and sociologist, who disap-
peared from her boarding house, gives
the police no clew as to her wherea-
bouts. but reveals that she left St.
Louis August l and travelled four days
to San Francisco, thence to Honolulu.
1t shows poverty and struggles to
maintain her dignity under most ad-
verse circumstances.
With the exception of a few passa-
ges referring to love affairs, the diary
is a record of privation and misery
while visiting the social settlement of
New York with Helen Gould and other
prominent charity workers. The diary
recounts she was too poor to have
light in her room and she froze and
starved while millions of dollars worth
of furs and jewels passed her win
dow daily. A loaf of bread and can
of tomatoes lasted for days
She got n position teaching a col
ored school in Mobile, when she had
nothing to eat save eight pounds of
peanuts, and had to make those last

ROBBED or S55,OOO.
Timber Land Company "SlSInncd" by u
Washington Cruiser.

Seattle, Wash, Nov Am insight
into the methods by which Washing
toms timber lands cease to be indi-
vldual holdings aud in great tracts,
pass into the hands of great lumber
ing and sawmill companies, may be
had from a complaint filed in the su-
perior court yesterday.
In this complaint Attorney W. f.
Hays sues G. Il. Peavy timber
cruiser, for $4,000, which he claims
to be his share OF the estimated profits
in deal in which the cruiser, he
says, broke faith with him, sold him
out" pocketed the profits and left
the plaintiff "out in the cold"
The attorney and the timber cruiser,
the complaint alleges, made contract
in 1898. under which the cruiser was
from individual holders at minimum
figures, and the attorney was to fur
nish eastern buyers at maximum fig
ures, the two partners to divide the
difference between the buying and the
selling price, which would be clear
profit. Some $4,000 acres of timber
was bought and sold under this con-
tract, the attorney alleges, and the
profits should have amounted to
$4,000, of which his share would
have been $4,000.
or this amount the plaintiff says he
was defrauded by his partner, the
timber cruiser, by neat trick The
cruiser he alleges, learned the names
of the buyers the attorney had on his
list, and secretly made a deal with
them. whereby he would turn the
timber tracts over to the buyers for
so cents profit to the acre, eliminating
the attorney from the transaction al
together
The half dollar per acre, the attor-
ney says, netted the cruiser a neat
figure and the arrangement enabled
the buyers to procure the land at ri
diculously low figures, but the brain
which devised the whole plan," says
the attorney. reaped no rewards, and
now the attorney seeks to recover
I S55. 900 under the old contract.

NO ACTION TAKEN As TO CAS- FRANCHISE

of the new system to the councilmen.
He explained that the ordinance as
read was merely a basis to work on,
and that he realized alterations would
have to be made. According to Mr..
Young his company wishes to come to
the city strictly on its merits, and ii
allowed franchise phones will be
placed in all places having the other
system and allowed to remain there
free of charge until they have been
thoroughly tested. Then they may be
retained or taken out at the wish of
the user.
According to Mr.. Young it is the
company's intention to place their sys-
TEN in all the smaller towns surround
ing Pendleton after the system has
been established here. Also. his sys-
tenn will in no wise interfere with the
workings of the rural lines, as they
may be connected with the automatic
system through the long distance Of
flee and used just as they are at pres
ent under the manual system.
Prices for the automatic system
will be the same as is charged by the
Pacific states company for two party
lines-sl.50 for residences, and SO for
stores.
AS to the danger of having two
companies in town to be patronize 4,
Mr.. Young held that the place is not
OF sufficient size, and that II was evil
dent one company would have to sus-
pend. This he said his company would
do unless they could give such salts
faction that there would be no need
for the opposition concern.
Some contention arose last night
over motion by Councilman Hinkle
to refund sS5 to Fred Hangover for
unexpired license. Opposition was
shown to this by Councilmen Rom,
Johnson and Dickson. The first ma ned
resented the insult which the saloon
keeper had shown the council by post
ing his "Dive for sale" sign on his
saloon. Consequently, the matter was
finally withdrawn.

WHALING FLEET IN THE ICE.
One Lucky Vessel Managed to Reach
san Francisco.

San Francisco, Nov. 2.-The gaso-
line schooner Monterey, Captain Chas;
Foley, reached port this morning. The
Monterey had a miraculous escape
from Imprisonment in the Alaskan ice
floes, which now holds IL other whal-
ing vessels and their crews OF $50 men.
The Monterey was caught in the ice
on the outer edge of the pack, but by
skill Foley ferreted her way through
a narrow channel, until he found
path open to the sea. The Monterey
bears the marks of the battle with the
ice. Her starboard and port plates
are stove in, and most of her gear is
gone. Foley says the captive fleet of
whalers further to the north is in the
gravest danger of starvation.
The ice closed in as early as Septem-
ber and caught the vessels, which
were scattered about for many miles
The schooner Bonanza was sighted 100
miles east of Cape Smith. She was
leaking badly and there is practically
no hope of her reaching port The
whaler Thresher was also sighted with
floes closing in. She paid no heed to
the warning and was caught.
The Monterey brought 1000 pounds
of bone, the smallest catch of this
season.

Another proposition for the securing
of a city park in Pendleton is being
agitated and may be brought before
the council at a near meeting. The
scheme calls for the purchase Of the
Howard tract of land along the Wal
ters' mill race on the other side of the
river, the securing of lease on the
the Walters island, and the making a
park out Of the two tracts.
The Howard tract, which is owned
by ]. A. Howard. now of Sumpter and
formerly of this place, is 400 feet long
by about 80 feet wide. 1t extends
from the Main street bridge to the
grounds of the Pendleton academy. As
u is Just across the mill race from the
island I'm the river, 1t is held that by
having the two pieces. a very pleasant
park could be created almost within
the heart of the city.
The Howard tract is now on sale
with the Hartman Abstract company,
and according to Mr.. Johns is held at
$4,000. However. Mr.. Johns says that
should sale be made, his commits
the price, thus giving It to the city for
s3S00 This morning Mr.. Johns said
that the land is to be sold and that II
It is not taken for the above purpose il
will be sold for building purposes.
Already number or the council
men have been approached, and the
proposition is apparently being re-
ceived with favor, though it has not
yet gone far enough to tell what the
outcome may he.
II has been suggested by Mr.. Johns
that the portion of the Howard tract
adjoining Jackson street may be used
for n site for II city hall, should one
be erected. Also. he believes that a
natatorium could be constructed al
the head OF the island and used to
help defray the expenses of making
the park.
The Howard tract may be connected
with the old cemetery very easily
through the use of the academy
grounds, and consequently II is possi-
BILE that should action be taken by the
trustees of the cemetery towards
making 1t into a public place. it might
also be used in connection with the
land on the river. ACCORDING 10 MT,
Johns. he has investigated the title to
the cemetery and is confident that the
johnson quit-claim deed is valueless
as long as one grave is left i'm the
cemetery. Consequently, the remain
ing ones might be removed to the new
cemetery and the old place improved
and made into park with trees and
lawn and adorned with a monument
to the pioneers who were formerly
buried there.
For some time past Lot Livermore
one of the surviving trustees of the old
cemetery, has been considering the Sc
lection of another man on the board
and taking some action to improve the
cemetery, which was despoiled few
months ago by "A fire started by II. f
johnson. Mr. Livermore is now seek
ing legal advice in the matter and
when he has determined the exact
status of affairs 1t Is his intention to
call n meeting of the trustees and take
some action.
