LONG WAR ENDED.
Holland After 200 Years Captures
 Last Stronghold.

Victoria, B. C., Nov 30.-The steamer Antilochus yesterday brought news from Singapore of the dramatic ending of Hollands 200 years old war in South Celebes. After siege of many months. the Hollanders captured the mountain fortress of Barupu, where the rebels made their last stand. This was all most like an eagles nest. almost in accessible. The Hollanders made a cordon, seeking to prevent supplies reaching the rebels. and finally the rebel leaders, seeing that further re- sistance meant annihilation, sur- rendered with 900 men. The insur- rection in South Celebes will end with this surrender.

INVESTIGATING WRECK.
Seven Dead. Including President
 Spencer of Railway Company.

| Lynchburg, Va. Nov 30.-An in- vestigation is being made to-day into the circumstances which led to the wreck of the two Southern railway fast trains near here yesterday, re- sulting in the death of President Spencer of the road and six other persons and the injury of many oth- CTS. The death of William Pollard, the negro porter in President Spen- cer's private car, and J. w. Shaw, the negro fireman, both of whom died in the city hospital here last night, swelled the death list to seven in all. The latest word from the hospital regarding the injured indicated that all probably will recover. The work of clearing the debris is being car ried on and some of the wreckage already has been removed. County Coroner J. w.. Davis is expected to take some action on the accident to- day. He visited the. scene of the wwreck yesterday, but find that the bodies already had been removed he deferred until to-day as to what steps he should take in the mat. ter. The escape of F. A. Merrill of New York. private secretary to Mir Spencer. the only survivor in the par. ty on the private car save for a DOT ter. was miraculous. The injuries he sustained are not serious and he will he able to leave the city hospital here probably by the first of the week. The identification was made today of the negro who was killed and burned beyond recognition. The vic. tim was Benjamin Boswell of Toledo. O.. a dining car man.
 Washington. Nov 30.-The bodies of Charles D. Fisher and Frank T, Redwood, both of Baltimore who were killed in the collision at Law yers.

Thoy will not thrive here. 1t takes
work to get ahead here. but the man
who exercises intelligence and indus

An Inviting County.
The very diversity Of J'matilla cour-
tv adds spice to its life. The man
with but small means seeking a place
to lay the foundation for a home is
attracted strongly to this county by
the rich opportunities beCkoning to
the poor man. Many of the wheat
and sheep kings Of the county were
working for $50 per month wages less
than % years ago. The upward climb
is phenomenal in this virile region.
The capitalist having wealth to in
vest is also attracted here by the vast
industries. Wheat farms comprisine
tnrre and four sections are not un-
common and the great herds repre-
sent hundreds Of thousands of dollars
each.
The citizenship is excellent, the So
ciety superb and staunch the sur
roundings for a home are inviting and
elevating, while the vigor and vim of
the climate gives life and activity to
the toiler.
The incentives to work are strong
for the returns are satisfying. There
is no profitless drudgery as on the
crowded farms of the east. Here is
ample reward. freedom, health, enter
prise, rugged citizenship, a growing

promise for the man who is willing to

The spirit of the country is such
that an honest and capable man must

Three years ago Echo was a country
village Gf about IS population. Sage
brush as high as a tall man grew in

streets were like country roads-up

summer.
To-day Echo has a bona flde popula.
ton Of 500, with this number swollen
to about 1000 at the present time, by
the transients who are in the city to

This tells the remarkable story OF
Echa's growth into one Of the mos'
progressive and hustling country

Echo was founded in 1882 by ]. H.

"Mc on a farm?" said the clerk

Finally after great deal of dis

TO THE VOTERS OF tLMORt COUNTY

AT democratic meeting recently
held in Mountain Home at which
Judge Hy1cs addressed the voters of
this district, l, as chairman of the
meeting, made the assertion that
Samuel Oliver, the republican can
didate for clerk of the court of Ell
more county, was Mormon. This
assertion was made in good faith
and upon evidence that seemed to
be absolute. The question of
whether or not Mr.. Oliver is a
Mormon has been discussed in
Mountain Home for at least a
month and was absolutely uncon-
tradicted. l believe that the major
ity of voters in Mountain Home
will agree with me in this state
ment. Knowing full well the con-
ditions that exist in Mormon COM
munities and the indignities that
are heaped upon the Gentiles who
are compelled to reside in commu-
mites where the Mormon faith pre-
dominates, l was led to remark
that the republicans OF Gilmore
county seemed to be hard run for
candidates, especially one to fill
the important office of clerk of the
court, auditor and recorder.
made numerous inquiries as to
whether or not Mr.. Oliver was a
Mormon and was either answered
that such was rumored and believed
to be so, or else the party inquired
of knew nothing of the gentleman,
and the first intimation that ever
had that the gentleman was not q
Mormon, was Mr.. Corker's remarks
at a republican meeting recently
held at Mountain Home. l have nc

an injustice and if l am wrong and

that l am wrong, then l will be the

Wounds, Bruises and Burns.

BY applying an antiseptic dress
ing to wounds, bruises, burns and
like injuries before Inflammation
sets in, they may be healed without
maturation and in about one third
the time required by the old treat

covery and triumph of modern sur
gerry Chamberlain Pain Balm
acts on this same principle. 1t is
an antiseptic and when applied to
such injuries, causes them 10 heal
very quickly. 1t also sllays the pain

FRICTION IN DEPARTMENTS
OVER RAILROAD COAL LANDS

A press dispatch from Washing
ton, dated yesterday, says: Eric
ton between the department of the
interior and the interstate commerce
commission has developed as the re-
suit of the commission charges
that coal lands owned by the Union
Pacific, the Denver & Rio Grande,
the Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe
and other western RAILROADS were
fraudulently obtained, and which
may lead to an investigation of
the general land office.
Assistant Commissioners of the
Land Office Pollock declared that
all the coal lands specified in the
charges of the interstate commerce
commission were investigated by
officers of the interior department
several years ago, and found to be
all right. He also said that even
if they were obtained fraudulently,
the patents granted could not now
be set aside under the law.
This attitude of opposition to an
investigation directed by congress,
in which the president is known
to be deeply interested, is so
surprising that it is already prob
able that the president will in
st1tute an inquiry to ascertain why
the land office never obtained the
information which Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Prouty and his
assistants have unearthed in the far
western states.
President Roosevelt has received
a preliminary report from Commits
soiner Prouty on the evidences oil
fraudulent grabbing of coal lands
by western railroads, and expects
the department of justice to take
prompt action against the roads.
In private conversation recently,
he has spoken of the prospective
prosecution of the railroads upon the
charges made by the interstate com
merce commissioners as ranking il
importance with the prosecution o
the Standard Oil company, tn,
sugar trust and other combination.
