Antonio Apache, a full blooded
Apache Indian, born in Arizona, who
was in the city yesterday, is probably
one of the most remarkable members
of his race in the world. He is a
graduate of Cambridge University
England, and is now a travelling cor
respondent for the London Times and
the Worlds Work.
He has just returned from a trip to
the Orient, where he has been in the
interest of the above publications, and
came here for the purpose of visiting
the Indian encampment on the reser-
Vation. Yesterday afternoon he drove
to the camp ground on the reservation
in company with c. ]. Ferguson of the
Pendleton Woolen mills. and was
greatly interested in the Indian there.
He gave as his opinion that they are
superior both mentally and in their
general character to most of the In
dams of the West.
On returning to town last evening
the Cambridge graduate Indian visited
Major Lee Moorhouse and secured
some of the latter's pictures to be
used to illustrate his articles for the
London Times. He then left on the
night train for Portland, where he will
visit the exposition.
Physically, Antonio Apache is
splendid specimen of his race, being
big. broad shouldered and erect. with
a fine, intelligent face. Those with
whom he conversed while here declare
him to be very much of a scholar and
well informed on nearly all the sub
jects of the day.
He is still young man being ap-
parently not over 80 years OF age. He
was born in Apache county, Northern
Arizona. and during the first part of
his life lived on the reservation there,
where Geronimo and Apache Kid, Two
of the most bloodthirsty Indians ever
known, held sway. and is certainly "A
remarkable contrast to most of the
men of his famous tribe,

BUYS AURORA CRUSHER.
City Council Indorsed Action of Spe-
cial Committee Last Evening.

wy NOuhcii lluOTSeu ACtlOn OIL Spe-
cial Committee Last Evening.
At the adjourned meeting of the
city council yesterday afternoon he
purchase of an Aurora No. 2 rock
crusher Of Beall g. Co, Of Portland
was authorized by ordinance and the
special committee given power to con-
tract with that firm for the delivery
of the same. The machine is to cost
the sum of $3.50 f. o. b. Pendleton,
and is to be delivered here in August.
Considerable rivalry was encoun-
tered by the council when they came
to buying the crusher, there being two
companies in particular that desired
to make the sale-Beall & Co., and
the National Drill company. The
bidding by the latter was done through
A. Kunkel & Co., and special repre-
sentative of the factory was present.
The latter declared that the matter
was not handled in a fair and open
way and that he was Disseminated
against by the committee.
However the suggestions of the
committee were finally adopted and
the ordinance was carried by unan-
imous vote. The city will use its rock
crusher in cooperation with the road
roller which the county recently pur-
chased of the Buffalo-Pitts Co.

One of the distributing cars of the
bureau of fisheries of the department

cries run by the government.
The car here is supplied from the
hatchery at Clackamas and is carry

be taken to La Grande and other
parts of Union county from which
there have been numerous applica-
tions.
The propegated fish are kept in
galvanized cans with which the car
is filled and they are supplied with

His answer was that because they
have been bred there longer than in
any other country and greater care
is taken to improve the stock than
elsewhere. In France the horse in
dustry is regarded as so important
that the government has taken hold
of it and in order to hold the repu-
tation now established everything
possible is done. For the present year
it is said that 700, 900 francs, or s14O,-
600 has been devoted by the French
government to the work. The plan is
for the government to purchase a
score or more of the very finest
horses each year and these are then
used for breeding purposes. AS a
result the main object has become the
improvement of the breed and not
money making.
Every colt sired by a government
horse is rlgidly graded and IL found
equal to the requirements is branded
on the left side of the neck under
the name with a dollar mark. Also
the requirements for the registration
of pure blood animals are much more
thorough in that country than in
America and 1t is said to be impossi-
BILE to have anything but a pure-bred

AT a meeting of the school board
held last evening a clerk for the en-
suing year was elected, the work on
'he new buildings ordered hastened.
and other matters attended to.
For clerk, John HALEY, Jr., who
mas held that position for several
terms past, was reelected, and the
matter of looking up the work on
the buildings was left with him. He
was instructed to have the contrac-
tors rush their work so as to have the
buildings all completed by August 90,
SO that the board may have the time
between then and the opening of
school in which to fit the new rooms
with furniture and otherwise prepare
the buildings for occupancy. 1t is
said that but little new furniture will
nave to be purchased by the board,
as they already have nearly enough
seats for the new buildings.
All of the teachers who were em-
ployed by the board for the coming
year have now signed their contracts
and 1t is expected all will be here for
the opening day
Regarding the charges that have
oeen circulated regarding Superinten-
dent-elect Traver the board has made
careful examination and members
state that they found the charges of
dishonesty, ETC., to be without foun-
dation and were started by personal
enemies of the professor. They are
confident that he is an educator of
great ability and in fact say that even
his personal enemies admit thas
much. He is expected to arrive here
about August 1 and will then take
charge of the preparations for the
opening of school and assist the
board in the assigning of grades and
such matters.

From Nogent, France. the center of
the greatest horse district in the
world and the home of the far-famed
Percheron, 35 head of selected horses
and mares, several of them prize win
ners there. have been brought to PEN
dleton by A, c. Ruby.
Mr., Ruby arrived home a few days
ago after seven weeks of busy trav-
cling on the continent, most of which
time was spent at Nogent and in Eng
land little time being given to sight
seeing. when he arrived here from
New York one carload of his horses
had already been here whole uay,
having been shipped here from New
York in three days and II hours,
faster than the ordinary passenger
time.
For those who are interested in
horses and the scientific raising of
such the following interview with
Mr.. Ruby concerning the methods
and conditions found in France will
certainly be of great interest.
According to Mr.. Ruby horse rails
ing is one of the greatest industries
of the French nation and every means
is employed to keep it such. The
city OF Nogent is the center of the
horse district and from there fine
animals are shipped all over the
world. 1t is the boast of the French
that their horses are sent to every
civilized country on the globe.
From Cherbourg. the seaport. at
which he landed, Mr.. Ruby. who was
accompanied on the trip by his
brother from Nebraska, proceeded to
Nogent passing through Paris on the
way and at that city an interpreter
was secured, trading being greatly ia
cilitated by having such. The meth
cd of purchasing horses there is said
to differ greatly from the usual
horse swap" in America Theer 1t
is said to be purely matter of figur-
ing, the buyer and seller sitting al
a table until an understanding is
reached, the price always being ex-
pressed in francs instead of dollars.

Railroads Are Interested.

Assistance is also given by the
transportation companies to breed
ers of fine horses in France. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Ruby, lower rates are
allowed on fine horses there than on
common stock in order to encourage
the Industry, whereas he states that
one and a half fare Is charged for
their shipment in this country. Ac-
cording to him, the favors shown by
the railroads there are valuable to
the industry and are in making it the
greatest of its kind in the world.
Aside from the S5 Percherons pur-
chased by Mr.. Ruby in France he al
so secured 12 others, 10 of which
were English shires bought at Lon
don. OF this number one, which is
now here. had just taken the second
prize in the stock show. A number of
the animals have been left in Ne

are here 1t is Mr.. Ruby's intention
to send a carload to Portland to be

have recovered from the effects of

COMPANY WANTS THE
MIAMI and ERIE CANAL

Columbus, o., Aug. "a bill is to be
introduced in the next Legislature pro-
vidins for the leasing u; tmat portion
OF the Miami and Erie canal between
Layton and Cincinnati to company
which is to be organized by friends of
that waterway. This fact came TO light
today through Investigations which
EaVe been made here recently of the
earnings OF the canal in past years.
The move is one to save the canal,
and it is understood that more than
the $250,0G0 necessary to carry ont the
scheme is ready if it is needed. The
prime movers are Major George b. Fox
OF Wyoming, James T. McHugh of
Cincinnati, and others who have inter-
ests located along the canal.
1T is proposed To ask the legislature
for lease on this portion OF the canal
to be executed to the company which
is to be organized. This company will
deepen the canal from its present
death of three feet TO five feet, and
make all the necessary Improvements
along the waterways from Dayton
II lildl
$z50000 will be needed for this work,
and this money will represent the cap
ita! of the company. The projectors
propose that interest at the rate of
per cent be allowed on the money, and
that all the surplus earnings will then
be applied to the beautifying of the
canal.
The bridges are to be made orna-
mental, trees will be planted along its
course through the cities and all other
details which would add to identifying
the murky stream attended to-
The canal is then to be thrown open
tC boats as it was before the electric
mule secured its franchise. Transpor-
tation will be encouraged in every
manner, but the company itself will
rot go into the transportation busi-
ness.

POTTERY CLOSED
CarroIIton Company Withdraws From
the SsiineviIIe Project.

Carrollton, O., Aug. 3.-Announce-
ment has been made here by Messrs.
Henderson and Albright Of the Car
rolltCa Pottery Co., that they have
withdrawn frcm the Dresden China
Co Of Salineville, cancelling their
lease on the plant which they have
successfully operated for the past six
months.
The Carrollton operators retain all
the earnings made by the concern
while under their management. This
closes this pottery completely, and it is
likely to be some time before another
company will take charge of and oper-
ate it.
The citizens of Salineville entered
into an agreement which the local op-
orators said that they refused to keep,
and the only course open for them was
to abandon the plant.
The plant is modern in every respect
and is considered a model by pottery
men, but bad luck and bad manage
ncnt had forced it to the wall, when
Albright and Henderson leased it and
put it into full operation, with the re-
suit as above stated.

CHINESE EXCLUSION
TREATY NOT LIKELY
SENATE ANTAeoNIsTIc TO ANY
SUCH TREATY.
Not Likely That Movement Toward
Negotiating One Will Be
Made Very Soon. ,S1'

Washington, D. e., Aug. 3.-ln
speaking today of the prospects for a
Chinese exclusion treaty, a high Off
cial of the state department expressed
most pessimistic views. He said that
while the administration was anxious
and willing to make a treaty with
China which would more clearly inter-
pret the present exclusion laws and
would particularly set forth what
classes of Cinnamon were entitled to
admission into the United States, there
seemed to be no prospects that the
senate would ratify such treaty, no
matter how broad its terms. Accord
ing to this official, the trouble with
the existing exclusion law is that it is
not sufficiently clear as to what
Cinnamon should be admitted while it
set forth explicitly the classes that
were not entitled to admission. The
state department would like to see
this matter cleared up, but in view of
the known antagonistic attitude of the
senate in regard to any exclusion
treaty whatsoever, it is not anticipated
that any effort will be made in the
near future to make such a treaty with
the Chinese government.

from Butte are that trains are coming

ALLIANCE EXCITED
OVER BOND ISSUE
PROPOSITION TO RAISE OVER
100000 FOR WATER WORKS.
City Now Without Adequate Fire Pro.
lection, and the Project Meets
With Favor.

Alliance, Aug. 3.-The proposition
to issue bonds in the sum of $780, 1000
for a new pump, a settling basin and a
filtration plant for the local waite
works is creating a great deal of
interest in the city. Until the last
few days the outcome of the matter
was greatly feared as little interest
seemed to be manifested. At the
present time, however, the discussion
Of the proposition is at a fever heat
and the water works is practically
the sole topic OF conversation on the
streets.
While the mayer, the superintendent
Of the water works, the members of
the board OF public service, the coun-
Gil and the business mems association
have all given an unqualified endorse
ment of the plan there is yet a great
deal Of opposition among the property
owners Nearly all the prominent men
Of the city including almost every
business man On Main street is in IA
vcr Of the scheme but the residents il
the outlying districts form quite a
strong opposition and the vote to be
taken on Saturday promises to be an
interesting one.
At present the city is without any
adequate protection against fire as the
present supply of water is entirely in
adequate and the standpipo supply is
used up by noon of every day.
