FIGHTERS WEIGHED IN.
Britt Was Late but Nelson Refused to
 Demand His Forfeit.

Battling Nelson weighed in prompt ly at 10 o'clock this morning. as the articles of agreement called for, and he tipped the scales at 1924 pounds. one-half pound under the stipulated weight. Britt was seven minutes late in arriving, bun Nelson waived hls claim to the forfeit. Britt tipped the scales at exactly 133 pounds It is be- lieyed the final settlement on the ref cree will be done at the ringside.
 The crowds making the trip to Col ma today to see the fight started out this morning without definite infOr- nation as to who would officIate as referee. For one brief hour last night it looked as if everything was settled when Manager Nolan withdrew his objections tO Jim Jeffries. At eleven o'clock. however. as soon as Nolan discovered that there was a rush of Britt money when Jeffries had been selected and the odds had been forced down to ten to six In Britt's favor, Nolan again entered an objection and the management was left high and dry once more. The management an- nouneed that the uncertainty on the referee question had hurt the box office receipts although there would be an immense crowd present. Many people who had reserved boxes gave up their reservations in disgust. Graney is still the hope that the man. agement is building and the fighters may accept him at the last moment

ECHO BASES HOPE IN S7OVER's REPORT

Four months work of studying
soils, seepage and evaporation in the
Echo district will draw to a close
early in September, and Arthur p.
Slower, the expert who has been in
charge of the experiments, will leave
for Berkeley, Cal, for a short visit
before going to Washington to make
his report to the agricultural depart
ment.
In order that the agricultural de-
partment might be made perfectly
familiar with winter irrigation, soil
conditions, evaporation in the sandy
district and seepage from bitches
built through the sand, Mr.. Slower
was sent to Echo In May for a series
OF careful scientific experiments in
the vital subjects, and after complet-
ing them to the satisfaction OF the de-
partment he will leave In a few days
to make report on his findings.
On his report the people Of Echo
place much hope for the future Of
irrigation in that district He has
studied conditions on the ground and

Low Water Throughout Northwest.

Columbia river men predict that
November of this year will see that
stream at the lowest stage in its his
tory. There is not much water be-
tween the locks and the Dalles now,
and if the water continues to fall
navigation will become difficult later
on. Oregon is now 1899 inches short
of the usual rainfall, measuring from
September /, 1901. For the first
time since 1861, GA years., the water
in Fraser river has dropped so that
the bars in the river are exposed and
miners are working them. The CO.
iumbia is fed under similer conditions
and it is reasonable to suppose that
the results will be the same. One
great benefit of low water will be the
opportunity afforded to blast trouble
some rocks that hinder navigation
opposite Biggs. But before the red
tape can be manipulated high water
will again run in its course Moro

WAS TORN IN PIECES.
Mill Hand Caught In Machinery at
Albany.

Albany, Or. Aug. 14.--Literally
torn to pieces in the machinery of the
Red Crown mills, Ira MacReynolds
met a terrible death here today.
Reynolds was under the building
repairing belt running from the
main shaft to the warehouse cleaner
In the darkness he stumbled against
the shaft, which was revolving at a
high rate of speed His clothing
caught on a bolt projecting from the
shaft and in an instant he was being
beaten into a pulp against the ground
and the beams of the mill.
1t was some time before the ma
chinery could be stopped, and Nc
Reynolds was taken out dead. He
was mangled beyond recognition.
Both arms were torn off, he was dis
emboweled and there was scarcely
an nnbroken bone in his body.
McReynolds had been working at
the mill only four days. He was rs
years old and unmarried. He has a
brother, who is a merchant at Buena
Vista, Polk county.

New York, Aug. 14.-Shonts, chair
man, and General Ernest, member of
the Panama commission, returned this
morning.
Shonts says: we have found 1t
necessary to house and distribute sup
plies for 10000 men. When the gov
ernment took hold of the canal the
mistake was made of trying to make
dirt fly before proper provision was
made for the employees. We have now
established sub-commissary stations
and seek lower prices, to give the la
borers all they need and comfortably
quarters, and keep all sanitary condi-
tions good.
Trains now run from Colon daily
carrying supplies to every laborer's
camp. The steamer Havana is being
equipped with refrigerating plants to
take supplies from New York. At
Colon a refrigerating plant is being
erected from which supplies will De
issued promptly, so the American an
p'Uyes will be able to obtain all they
could at home.
"By applying modern railroad metli-
DDS we can remedy in 80 days the
freight congestion"
The people of the Isthmus are not
forehanded. With a large influx of
canal laborers the supplies became
exhausted and prices became exor-
bitant. The commission has made ar
rangements with the president of
Panama that until prices become nor
NAL our system of supplying laborers
will continue. He believes there is
a treaty which will prevent entering
into competition with merchants.

Oyercame Her-The Watchman's
Testimony Indicates Suicide. But
the Young Lady's Relatives Refuse
TO Believe That Hypothcsis-Was
80 Years Old and From Seattle.

Seattle, Wash. Aug 14.--Miss An
ME Hood, aged 80 years, residing with
her father, Robert Hood. and her
mother, at 314 Queen Anne avenue,
this city, committed suicide last night
by throwing herself into the roaring
refuse furnace of the Baty Shingle
company at Anacortes
Both her parents are Frustrated. Miss
Hood left here four weeks ago to
visit Mr.. and Mrs. w. ]. Leadbetter at
Anacortes and a letter which arrived
here this morning addressed to her
mother stated she was well and en-
joying herself.
About $3.50 O'Clock last night the
woman disappeared from the Lead
better home. and some uneasiness was
felt, as before going out she appeared
excited. An hour afterward the
watchman at the mill saw woman
ascending the conveyer to the top of
the furnace. He called TO her, but
she walked steadily on.
Arriving at the mouth Of the fur
mace she paused moment and then
with a wild shrek leaped forward.
The watchman at once summoned Mr..
Baty and together they ran back to
the MILL AS they went the shrieks of
the girl rent the air.
They climbed the ladder Miss
Hood had gone up to reach the con-
verter and hurried to the opening.
Looking down they could, plainly see
the writhing form of the girl as she
madly waved her arms and cried out
in her agony.
For 10 minutes these shrieks kept
up until finally the flames rendered
her unconscious. The watchman and
Baty secured hooks and attempted to
drag the woman out but her strug-
Cling prevented this The watchman
after working n few minutes tainted
at the sight and was forced to aban-
don the task.
Mr. and Mrs. Hood are at a loss to
know what caused the girl to mount
the ladder but are firm in their con-
viction that 1t was curiosity and that
her falling into the furnace was an
accident.

I'VE will ship more wheat and
more cattle out of Umatilla county
this year than ever before" said s. B.
Calderhead, general freight and pas
senger agent of the w. & c. R.. to the
East Oregonian today, "and we will
also ship more merchandise and man.
ufactured stuff into the county than
ever before in any year, as the in
creasing settlement and increasing
trade growing up in Pendleton with
surrounding counties makes a greater
demand for commodities of every
kind used by civilization"
Mr.. Calderhead has just returned
from a trip over the lines in Washing
ton and Oregon, and finds the wheat
warehouses filling rapidly and the de-
mand for cars increasing at an aston
ishing rate.
We will be able to handle the busi-
ness along the line easily" said Mr..
Calderhead, although 1t will be heav-
ier than usual. We can furnish cars
in almost unlimited quantities, and as
the haul to the sound and Portland is
short the equipment can be returned
quickly to be used again and again.
because of the growing demand
for Oregon beef in Seattle, and also
because of the growing demand in
Alaska for meats from Seattle, large
portion of the fat stock of Umatilla
county will be shipped over the w.
& c. r. and Northern Pacific to Seat
tie and other Sound points, this year.
The growth of the Alaskan market is
one of the commercial surprises of the
age. Where people thought there
would be but a temporary boom. a
permanent, substantial trade is being
built up, with every promise of being
perpetual.
1.-THE ranges and ranches of Eastern
Oregon and Washington will furni;h
most of the products to supply those
growing markets in the north"

Wooster, o., Aug. 14.-Captain
Taggart was on the stand this morn
ing. Every artifice was used by the
defendants attorneys to confuse, and
he controlled his temper with difficult
ty. Asked why, when he found his
wife drinking to ecess he did not BAN
ish liquors, he said he thought re-
proof would answer the same purpose
and that she would use it in modera-
tion." He said the sideboard was
known as Chicks bar" Chick was
a young woman guest He said he
never heard the sideboard called
Tags bar"
He said he didn not reprove his
wife merely because her talk annoy
ed him, but he objected to her drink
ing at ALL He said when they lived
at Fort Thomas he believed every
thing his wife said, and only began to
doubt her word at the time he saw
her come from the cellar of his home
with Fortesque. He first reproved her
at a cotillion party at his house when
she got drunk after the guests were
gone. All was not decorous, the wit
ness said, during the party. He said
he was not intoxicated.
"At that nights party" said Tag
gart, "most of the gentlemen drank
whiskey. 1 drank beer. My capacity
for beer is about three glasses.
never considered whether l could
drink enough beer to get drunk.
was never drunk in the Philippines"
In answer to questions, he said he
thought Fortesque and Mrs. Taggart.
when they came from the cellar, look
ed guilty. Both were flushed and
apparently not from drink alone. He
said ne told his wife that night he
thought she was more intimate with
Fortesque than she had led him to
believe.
When court adjourned at noon the
cross-examination appeared not to be
half through and it will probably
last through Tuesday. This morn
ing nothing new was adduced. Ques-
tions had led at recess to the incident
where Taggart is accused of tearing
off his wife's clothes and brulsing .fer
face at Fort Leavenworth, the incl
cent which caused her confinement in
a hospital and final separation.
The cross-examination this after
noon turned upon Mrs. Taggart's visit
to Washington. He said he did not
send his wife to Washington to pre-
vent his detail from Fort Thomas to
Leavenworth, although the detail was
He said he did not object
to the change, but his wife did not
want to leave Fort Thomas. He said
he did not promise to give her dia-
mond ring if he prevented the detail.
