East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-11-04

Responding to the open letter writ
ten to the Oregon Development league
by the East Oregonian on November
|, that organization has called a mass
meeting of the citizens of the inland
empire to be held in this city some
time this month, the actual date de-
pending on the time at which the va
rious members of congress from the
states of Oregon. Washington and
Idaho, can come to this city for that
meeting, the date to be not later than
November 20 If possible.
The object of the meeting will be
to urge upon congress by resolution
and by IA committee of citizens. If
necessary. the imperative need of an
appropriation for Columbia river inn
provements. including the removal of
the bar, the deepening of the channel
from Portland to the sea, the construc-
tion of the canal at the Cascades and
the removal of distractions from the
upper rivers.
The war department has not recon-
mended an appropriation for these
pressing needs and unless the citizens
of the inland empire take the mat
ter In hand, all river improvements
will be stopped and the work now
done upon the Jetty at the Columbia
bar will be wasted
The Oregon Development league will
call this mass meeting, the local ar
rangements being left to Pendleton

of congress and senator's from three

THE COTTON SITUATION.
Explanation OF Why the Russian
Turmoil Affects IL.

New York, Nov. Am their weekly
review OF the cotton situation, Miller
e. Co. say:
After a week of sudden changes,
caused by the effect of varying re-
ports upon a nervous market the sit
uation has Gained down to a great
extent. A new disturbing element has
cropped up in the Russian situation.
That great empire is now in the
throes of a change from the old au-
tocratic system to some new form of
government, and the disturbances now
general throughout the length and
breadth of the land may. it is feared,
break out into open revolution at any
moment. The interest of the cotton
market in such an emergency lies in
the effect it may have on France,
which has accumulated untold mil
lions of Russian securities during the
past five years. Paris is one of the
greatest money markets in the world,
and any panic there would be prompt
ly felt in all the other financial CEN
ters and be reflected in an unfavora-
ble way on the prices of all commodi-
ties, even though only temporarily
Bankers have no doubt made all
preparations possible for any emerg-
ency that might arise, but the situation
is none the less critical. Any derange-
ment to European finances or politics,
resulting from troubles in Russia, may
temporarily depress cotton, but ulti-
mately much higher prices now seem
inevitable"

superintendent, the mine may run un-
TIL December |, but may be closed any
day. The company's store at Susan

The reason given for the closing Of

which the company is now involved.

II Is generally thought that the real

REVOLUTION IN OIL REFINING.
VIII Save Twenty Per Cent by ImprOv-
cd Method.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Consul Flem-
ing, of Edinburg, Scotland, reports to
the state department a remarkable
revolution in the refining of mineral
oil. II Is a process that will save
enormous losses, at least 20 per cent
now sustained, and will do away with
the expensive methods that depend
today on the use OF chemicals. The
Inventor of the process liz a Doctor
McAlpine and he claims for his inven-
tion the abolition of chemicals, two
Installations instead of three, 20 per
cent increased yield Of products, and
improved quality of all the products.
As Is well known vitrol and caustic
soda form two of the costliest items in
oil refining, and many thousands of
dollars each year would be saved II
the new process proves successful.
The simplicity of distilling the oil by
one distillation less is another cconom-
ical invention and this closely follow
ed by securing one-fifth more OF liquid
products, which at present are irrecov-
cradle, would permit profits to be
reached In the oil trade never previ-
ously dreamed of, even by the great
combine which now controls the pro-
ducts and yields millions annually to

Another proposition has been SUBJ
mitted to the county court by the o.
r. & N. company. 1t is that the COM
pany will accept a valuation of s10.-
900 per mile for their roadbed in this
county, and also pay the interest on
the back taxes now due, but will not
pay the penalty added for non-pay-
ment. This is a more liberal offer
than the one previously made the
county. as under the former proposi-
ton the railroad was unwilling to pay
any interest on back taxes.
Whether or not the court will ac-
cept the offer of the railroad remains
to be seen. This afternoon 1t was said
by members of the board that no ac-
ton would be taken today. it being
their intention to keep the matter
under advisement for several days.
Meanwhile, they have been communi-
eating with clerks of the various
school boards regarding the state of
their finances.
When the other proposition of the
was refused by the court, it
was said that the refusal of the COM
pany to pay the interest was largely
responsible for the same. Conse-
the present offer of the COM
pany may be accepted, especially since
