HOCH STARTS OIL WAR.
Would Spread Kansas Laws Over
Entire Nation.

Topeka, Dec. IL. - Governor Hoch
has started national war on the
Standard Oil company. Last year the
governor threw the gaff into the Stand
ard by means of several laws regulating
the oil industry. Now he wants the
same thing to happen in the other
states of the Union and accordingly is
sending letters to every other state gov
ernor asking for the passage of the
same laws that Kansas has now on the
statute books.
He recites the facts in the Kansas
fight and explains the pipe line COM
mon carrier, the maximum freight rate
and the anti determination laws which
cut the Standard tenacles, and con-
cludes: "It is extremely desirable to
extend the operation of these principles
of government to other states, that the
greatest possible good may come of
them. l therefore most heartily re-
commend these enactments to the IA
vorable consideration of the governors
of sister states. and trust they may
think the subject of sufficient import
ance to recommend to their respective
legislatures, and urge the legislatures
of the several states to study these
Kansas enactments and if thought wise
to incorporate them or their essential
features into the laws of their respect
i've states"

NO DELAY ON KLAMATH.
Bids Will Soon Be Called for on Two
More Sections Of Ditch.

Klamath Falls-Unofficia announce
ment comes from the officials of the
Reclamation service here that the gov
ernment is not going to cause any de-
lay in completing the great irrigation
project for Klamath basin.
A few weeks ago it thought, and, in
fact, announced unofficially, that the
government was not going to rush work
on any of the Klamath projects very
rapidly, save the first section, for which
the bids for construction are to be open
ed in San Francisco December 90.
This was said to be the wish OF the Off
cials, because it would not throw a
large proportion of the surplus lands
on the market at one time and thereby
cause any glut in the land market, and
would give private owners better Up-
portunitv to realize the worth of their
lands. Now the announcement that
bids will be called for Immediately
after the opening of the bids for the
first section for two more sections Of
ditch is evidence that Uncle Sam ex-
poets to lose no time in completing this
great irrigation project. Just as soon
as the other bids are opened bids will
be called for these two second sections,
and work will be commenced on them
early in the spring.

NEEDS A STRONG LEADER
Russian Nation Biindly Staggers in
Throes Of Revolution.

St. Peterst urg, via Eydtkuhnen, Dec
ll.-But one question is being asked
at present in this unhappy country
Where is the revolution leading Russia?
1t is The one all important subject be-
fore the people, and happy would be
the man who could foresee just what is
ahead. But this is impossible. The
best informed men can only guess at
what may come to pass. All is chaos
and disorder, and what is worse, there
is no light ahead. Russia today might
we'll be likened to giant staggering
down blind alley in the blacklist mid
night. He knows not where his path
leads; he cannot tell where pitfalls are
before him. The nd of it all can only
be guessed and no prediction is of any
value.
For this revolution is a terrible
thing. 1t has paralyzed industry, it has
ruined all business, it has tied up the
postal and telegraph service, and when
it desired, it has effectually stopped
all railroad traffic. 1t has been re-
sponsible for crimes unspeakable; it
has caused the blood of Russian pat
riots to flow from one end of the en-
pire to the other; it has arrayed class
against class and man against man; it
has bred mutiny in the navy and Great
ed sension among the soldiers; it
has caused the peasants to rise against
the tyrants who for centuries have
dominated them and ground them to
the earth. 1t has practically nullitied
the authority of the government and
given to the proletariat powers he never
dreamed of possessing IL months ago,
because he has learned how he may
bend all authority, even that of the
czar. to his will.

JOHN H. MITCHELL
DIES SUDDENLY
AGED Senator Suffers Severe Hemor.
rhage Of the Gums.
Extraction Of hour Teeth Cause OF
Death-For More Than 40 Years
He Was a Leading Figure in Ore
gon and National Politics - Death
Was Peaceful.

Portland, Dec. 8. - United States
Senator John H. Mitchell died in Good
Samaritan hospital early this morning,
following a furious hemorrhage of the
gums which began yeste day and which
the doctors were unable to check.
Excessive loss of blood resulting from
the loss of four teeth yesterday morn
ing made it necessary that Senator
Mitchell be removed to Good Samaritan
hospital. He sank rapidly. The f1ow
of blood was not continuously heavy,
but came at intervals. The senator
grew weaker after each hemorrhage.
Finally it was decided to use trans
fusion, the injection OF saline solu-
ton into the veins in order to furnish
more fluid for the system and to stimu-
late circulation. Temporary relief was
obtained in that way and the patient
was apparently improved in condition
for brief time.
For some time Senator Mitchell has
been a sufferer from diabetic trouble,
and this, together with the severe
mental strain which has been upon
him for months past, have weakened
his vitality and rendered his system
exceedingly susceptible to any tax
which is put upon it. His blood, too,
has become thin and impoverished, so
that it does not coagulate as that of a
person in normal condition. To these
facts is due the persistency of the
hemorrhage and the inability of the
physicians to stop the loss of blood by
the usual means.
John II. Mitchell was born June %,
1885, at Butler, Pennsylvania. At the
time of his death he was 70 years, 6
months and days. For more than
As years he has been resident of Port
land. For more than 40 years he has
been a leading figure in Oregon and
national politics.
Oregon has known no other political
character that occupied a prominent
position in state affairs go long, nor
who has been identified with the states
development in such a measure. No
public enterprise since the year 1850 in
behalf of the state has been without his

MARTIN TO FRONT.
South Dakota Representative Wants
Commerce Controlled.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE Washington
correspondent of the Post wires as fol-
lows:
Eben w. Martin, of South Dakota,
hitherto counted as one of the most
conservative Republicans in the house,
has brought trouble to the door of the
party-~leaders by introducing bill of a
substance 80 strongly paternalistic that
it casts some of the radical measures
into the shade and by comparison
makes the others appear as bulwarks
of conservatism.
Mr. Martins measure aims to give
the government control of every cor
poriation in the country that is engaged
in interstate commerce in fuel or food
supplies. Two years ago Representa-
tive Martin forced consideration of his
resolution asking for invesii igation of
the beet industry. The resolution
passed the house and the beef inquiry

TOO MUCH FREE MAIL.
Postmaster General Points Out Cause
of Deficit.

Washington, Dec. 12. - Postmaster
port for the past fiscal year, Gays that
while self-sustaining condition of the
postoffice would be gratifying, he is
less concerned about the deficit than
the efficiency of the administration.
For the fiscal year 1905 the total re-
ceipts from all sources were 1852, $780,
585, and the total expenditures $167,-
399,169 leaving deficit of $14. 4.572,-
584. In connection with these figures
the postmaster general directs atten-
tion to the increased amount of free
matter handled, which he Gays aver
aged 12.58 per cent of the entire weight
carried, or loss in revenue of $l9,S22
900.
"Manifestly," he says, chad the
matter carried free been required to
have been prepaid, notwithstanding
the large expenditures for the rural
free delivery service, there would have
been no deficit"
Answering some of the criticisms
which he says have been directed
against the postal serVlce, tne post
master general says that most of it
overlooks the unusual conditions exist
ing in this country, its great extent of
territory and its widely scattered popu-
lation. With the introduction of rural
free delivery as yet unfinished, and
other details of postal development in
he thinks it the part of wis
dom to proceed conservatively until the
present service is more perfected.

Oranges Battered on Trees.

Santa Ana, Cal, Dec. 1.-The worst
wind storm OF the season prevailed
throughout the Santa Ana valley today,
the wind coming down the Santa Ana
canyon from the desert in gusts that
frequently reached a velocity of 40
miles an hour. The storm was gene
raj from Oceanside, in San Diego coun-
ty, to Wilton, in Los Angeles county,
and extended to the interior as far as
Riverside, Redlands and San Bernar-
dino. Wherever it was felt, damage
was done to orange crops by the fruit
being battered agains the trees.

JACKSON TO FRONT.
Stands as Second County in Oregon
in Assessed Wealth.

Salem - Jackson county has sprung
to second place among the counties Of
Oregon in taxable wealth. Marion
county, which has for many years occu-
pied second place, has dropped to fifth
place, and perhaps lower. Not all the
assessment returns have been received
yet, but it is already apparent that at
least three counties have stepped above
Marion in assessed valuation.
Multnomah county, of course, is still
first, her assessment for 1905 not yet
being definitely known. Jackson will
come second with a valuation of over
$l2,O00,O00 Washington probably
third with $40, 100000, Umatilla prob
ably fourth with $40 165, 900, and Ma
rion probably fifth with $9,S24 900.
There are number of wealthy counties
yet to report, among them being Lane,
Linn and Clackamas, any of which may
surpass Marion and put that county
still further down the list.
Jackson county's assessment this year
shows an increase of about 200 per
cent for last year the assessment was
only 81 $50, 900.

CANAL BILL is FIRST.
An Emergency Appropriation Will Be
Passed in Some Form,

TdSScU III SOn1c TOVU1s
Washington, Dec. l2.-The first i'm.
portant measure which will involve the
attention of the senate will be the
Panama canal emergency appropriation
bill, and it's consideration will begin
this week. Some senators predict that
it will become law before the close of
the week, but others have expressed
the opinion that final action will be
deferred until the week following.
There will be no effort to prevent the
passage OF the bill in some shape, but
there will be some opposition to the
proposed restoration of the IS 500, 900
subtracted by the house from the
amount to be appropriated.
Regardless of the sum, the bill will
be used as basis for the general dis
cussion of the canal question. 1t is
expected that the debate will deal
largely with the question as to whether
the canal shall be constructed on the
sea level. There is some conflict Of
opinion as to whether the bill shall be
referred to the commit ,e on appropria-
tlOIlS UT W tu6 COulullltec Ou lutcIOCc-
anic canals.
The general expectation is there may
be comparatively little additional legis-
lation before the Christmas holidays.
Several other measures will be vigor-
ously pressed during the session, but
with the exception of the merchant
marine bill. the sponsors of the bills do
not count upon getting early consider
alton. Senator Gallinger will call up
the merchant marine bill at the first
opportunity and is hopeful that debate
will not be long delayed.
No one counts upon even getting
report from committees on the railroad
rate bill until some time after the holi-
days. The three measures mentioned
are considered the most important that
will come before the senate this ses-
sion, and they will receive much atten.
tion until they are finally disposed Of.
The consideration by the senate of
the joint statehood bill and the bill for
the reduction of the duty on Philippine
into the United States
will necessarily be postponed until af-
er the holidays. No one now expects
any effort to modify the tariff, unless
IN the direction of Senaotr Lodges bill
providing for maximum and mini
mum rate. The Massachusetts senator
.egards this proposal with much more
avor and will press it strenuously.

Big Timber Tract Sold.

Medford-A deal has been consum-

acres on Butte creek, in Jackson coun-
ty, to J. G. Dudley, of Michigan, the
consideration being $25, 900. This
tract is on the proposed Medford &
Crater Lake railroad, which is now
completed to Eagle Point, about 20
miles from the timber in question.
There are other persons here now nego-
tiating for the vast timber tracts that
will be opened up by the Crater Lake
railroad.
