OLD AND NEW CELLO.
What II Is, Was and Will Be in the
Development of a Large Region
Of Fruitful Country.

As soon as the wheat crop in the
Northwest is harvested the little town
of Cello will be busy point Steam
boats from the Upper Columbia and
from Snake river will be unloading
wheat daily, and this will require quite
a number Of men TO handle. II may
be that the railroad, in order to con-
troll the rate, will come down TO the
cut rate; but there are points on the
Columbia in Washington and the Snake
in Idaho that are not reached by any
railroad company, and these must de-
pend upon water transpQrtatino. The
portage road is simply a prelude to an
open river to tidewater for a country
comprising 3OO,O square miles. When
the government canal and locks are
completed, without breaking cargoes
steamers will transport the wealth Of
this region TO the ocean. Then the
true and permanent development Of
the Northwest will begin, and the pos
sibilities Of the Empire will be thor.
oughly tested. But Cello will remain
as the eastern terminus Of the canal
as il is Of the state portage road, and
around II will cluster memories of the
past and dreams of the future.
The old town was about mile above
the present hamlet, and here in the
early history Of Eastern Oregon clus-
tered n thrifty, active population, pos
sessing all the evidence Of a busy
mart Of trade. The wharf boat was
900 feet long, and in 1t was stored
goods for the interior country as far
east as Blaekfoot in Montana. Boats
navigated the Columbia as far as
Priest rapids, and then far above
there were steamers after the port
age around these rapids was made, and
Snake river was made highway Of
commerce to Lewiston, Idaho. This
caused considerable business to center
at Cello. Here were built the Annie
Faxon, Spokane, Nez Perce, Chief,
Harvest Queen and other boats that
made regular trips with passengers and
freight to interior points. The con
struction of the railroad in 1881 and
1882 changed the means Of transpor-
tation, and Cello became merely a
tradition. It mas moved down the
Columbia, at the very beginning Of
the rapids, and was known for many
years only for its fish wheels and cold
storage plant. History is repeating
itself, and Cello is again coming to
the front as the point from which the
freight problem will be solved, and
the point from which will start wa
ter transportation lines to points in

THE DEADLY WORK OF
KANSAS TRAIN WaECKERS
Remove Spikes Securing the Rails
and Ditch the Train, Killing Two
of the Employees.

Reading, Kan.-Santa Fe train No
II, westbound, was wrecked at Bad
ger creek bridge, about five miles
west of Reading, at 3 o'clock Tuesday
morning. The tender left the track,
derailing all the baggage and express
cars and the first two coaches. One
express car turned over and caught
fire, in which one of the messengers
were killed. His remains were recov-
cred. The engineer and two other
messengers were seriously injured,
the former fatally. No passengers
were injured.
It is believed the train was ditched
by wreckers. The spike securing one
rail and the fish plate had been re-
moved. Three other passenger trains,
including Superintendent Fox's spe'
cial, had passed over the same tracks
a short time before No. II was
wrecked.
J. E. Hurley, general manager OF
the Santa Fe railroad, has offered a
reward of $4,000 for the arrest and
conviction of the man or men who
wrecked the train.

NOT So EASY
As WAS KOREA
Japanese Having Difficulties
in Forcing Concessions
From Chinese.
The Continued Failure Of Baron ko
mura to Conclude the Negotiations
Is an Open secret-suspen-
sion of Negotiations Is
Openly Advocated.

Tokio,-The continued failure OF
Baron Komura to conclude the nego'
tiations with the Chinese government
at Picking, which were begun after the
conclusion of the Russo,Japanese war.
is an open secret. 1t is believed by
some Japanese here that the extent OF
Japan's concessions are such as will
fail to secure what they think should
have properly been her acquisitions as
the result of the treaty of Portsmouth.
For example, the building OF the
Kinrin- Ching Chung railway has not
been conceded, and the stationing OF
railway guards is not to be permitted,
leaving the work in the hands OF the
police, who will be withdrawn when
the period for the withdrawal of troops
expires.
China's firm attitude is believed to
be due to combined pressure indirectly
exerted by Russia, France and Ger
many. The outcry against the alleged
weakness of the cabinet is increasing,
and some persons advocate the sus'
pension Of the Picking negotiations.
The kindness of the emperor Of Ger
many to former Japanese prisoners OF
wa, on their way home is appreciated,
but the Japanese appear to be dis
trustful of his style of diplomacy.

Senate Passes Canal Bill.

Washington.-The senate passed
the Panama canal emergency appro'
priation bill on Saturday, but the re-
suit was not attained until after the
debate on the bill had been continued
the greater part of the day, to the ex'
clusion of practically all other busl'
ness. Set speeches were made by Mr.
Bacon in advocacy OF his amendment
requiring estimates for the canal com
mission salaries; by Mr. Allison, who
devoted himself largely to the details
of the bill; Mr.. Culberson, who crltl'
cised the employment OF Mr.. Bishop
as a "press AGENT" by Mr.. Stone
who criticised the purchase OF Amer
lean ships to carry Panama supplies
in face of the announced determine
ton to go abroad for vessels under
the conditions then existing, and by
Mr.. Newlands, who expressed the
opinion that the construction OF the
canal should have been entrusted tc

Man Lying at Deaths Door
Who Knows Who Killed
Governor G0ebel.
Declares That If the Ex-Secretary's
Execution Were Imminent He
Would Give Testimony That
Would Clear Hin.-PoWers
Appeals for His Aid.

Bakersfield, Cal.-Charles E. Ehler,
on cot in the county hospital, suffer-
ing from a wound presumably self.
inflicted, has admitted to Superintend'
ent Franz Buckreus that he has infor'
nation as to the killing of Governor
William Goebel of Kentucky which, il
it were adduced, it is alleged, would
clear Caleb Powers, former secretary
of state of Kentucky and now under
sentence of death for completely In
the murder of the late governor.
A few days ago Powers wrote from
the Blue Grass state to Ehler in Ba'
kersfeld, saying in substance:
II see by a press dispatch that you
may be an important witness in the
Goebel murder. For six years l have
lain in prison and three times l have
been sentenced to death for crime
of which I am as innocent as the an
gels around the throne. If you have
any information that will throw light
on the death of Governor Goebel
then for Gods sake declare yourself
and aid in proving my innocence"
Ehler, on receiving this letter, per-
mitted Superintendent Buckreus to
read it, and the latter, realizing its i'm
portance, questioned Ehler, where,
upon the latter admitted that he could
give testimony that would save the
life of Powers, and he intimated that
If the ex-secretary's execution were
imminent he would give such testi
mony.

President Advises Secretary
of Agriculture That His
Decision is Sustained
Protest of Colorado Delegation Did
Not Have Desired Effect, and Pas
turing of Livestock Within For
est Reserves Will be Permitted
Next Season.

Washington.-President Roosevelt
on Wednesday advised the secretary
of agriculture that he would sustain
the regulation adopted by his depart
ment imposing grazing charges fol
pasturing livestock within forest re-
serves. This action was taken with
especial reference to the protest made
by a committee from the Cattle Grow.
ers' association which waited on the
president Saturday last, accompanied
by Colorado representatives in
congress. Senator Patterson of the
delegation filed brief with the pres.
ident, contending that the porposed
imposition of grazing fee was illegal
and not within the province of the
government to enforce it without ad.
ditional legislation. The president
conferred with the attorney general
and, as a result of the conference, an.
nounced that he concurred in the lat.
ter's opinion, that the imposition OF
a charge for grazing within the re-
serves is legal and proper.
The forest service has completed
authorizations for grazing during the
coming season in Yellowstone reser'
walton, Wyoming. In the Shoshone di'
vision of this reserve 10000 cattle
and 10000 sheep will be admitted. In
Wind RIVER division 10000 cattle and
10000 sheep, and in Teton division
10000 cattle and 235,OOO sheep. This
is an increase in the number of sheep
over last season of $4,000. Grazing
charges will be 20 cents per head fol
cattle and cents for sheep in the
Wind River division, and rs cents fol
cattle and cents for sheep in the
Shoshone division.

RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT
IS COMPELLED TO ACT
proletariat Seems Determined to TAKE
Up Arms and the Issue viii 30
Accepted - Official Statement
of Governments Position.

st. Petersburg.-The following state
ment of the governments position has
been issued, and may be accepted as
authoritative:
"The government sincerely desired
to introduce the new regime without
having recourse to harsh measures, but
it received no support from the con-
stitutionalists or other moderates,
while the proletariat organizations, I'M
der the leadership of the Socialists,
continued their mad campaign In favor
of armed rebellion, and openly melted
the army and the navy to mutiny The
climax of this campaign was reached
when efforts were made to attack the
credit of the country in the midst Of a
considerable panic. Had the govern.
ment allowed such efforts to go I'm.
challenged it would have precipitated
complete financial and industrial ruin.
after all self-preservation is the
first law of nature, and besides, with.
out the restoration Of semblance OF
order it would be impossible to hold
the elections for the douma. The case
was desperate one and it demanded
q desperate remedy.
"The government believes that the
radical aims of the Socialists have the
sympathy of only fraction OF the
population, and that if their leaders
should succeed in overthrowing the
monarchy and in placing their doc
trines in practice they would be swept
out of existence by counter revolu-
ton.
Nevertheless, the government is on
the horns of dilemma, as, no matter
how honest it's motives, in the present
state of excitement they are bound to
be misrepresented; while, on the other
hand, if enough order can be restored
to hold the elections, the cry will be
set up that the government has adopt
ed this expedient to control the cleo
tons and to capture the douma. =.
1--WE have taken the only course lett
open to u.s."

Little Sickness on the lsthmus.

Washington.-The report of Col. w.
G. Gorgas, chief sanitary officer Of the
Panama canal zone, for October,
shows three cases of yellow fever dur
ing the month which, he says, indi-
Gates the early disappearance of the
disease. Only one case was an en-
ploye of the commission. Colonel Cor
gas states that Panama has often
been free from yellow fever, but the
only disappearance was when they
had no non-immunes to contract it.
During October, he says, they had al
the natural conditions favorable for
yellow fever; a larger number of non
immunes probably than had ever be
fore been on the isthmus, with wet
and hot month.
