CLEVELAND'S BIRTHDAY.
Only Ex-President of the United
States Who Is Living.

Princeton, N j., March 1I-Ex-
president Grover Cleveland will be
60 years old tomorrow and his friends
are preparing to celebrate the ami
yersary of his birth. Mr.. Cleveland
enjoys the distinction of being the
only ex-president of the United States
living at the present day. Although
no longer actively engaged in politics
he is still considered man of strong
political power and influence. 1t Is
a remarkable fact that there has been
scarcely an important question that
arose since his retirement from the
presidency, concerning which his
Judgment and advice was not sought.
He is probably greater man now,
at least in wider sense, than when
he was president, although his
strength lies not in his party affilia-
tions.
Mr.. Cleveland Is still hale and
sound. He is believer in the pre-
serving influence of outdoor exercise
and there is no man more devoted to
fishing and hunting than he. His as
pirations in that line do not run to-
ward big game He is satisfied with
smaller game and enjoys 1t immensely
TO spend his leisure time In the woods
or along streams hunting and fish

With a view to organizing a mutu-
al telephone system to cover Umatilla
county in a network of rural phone
lines, a mass meeting of farmers in
terested was held at the court house
this afternoon.
l.. F.. Penland, of this cvity, who
owns a large wheat farm at Helix,
and who is interested in the formation
of mutual system in the county was
chosen, as chairman of the meeting.
Representatives of the Brown
Spear Sloan and the Pacific States
Telephone companies were present
and explained the merits of the mu-
tual system and advised with the
farmers as the best method to pur-
sue in the organization.
At the time of going to press at 4
o'clock the matter was still under dis
cussion, but 1t is probable that an or
ganization will be started and that
the mutual telephone system will be
established in the county this season.
This is the sentiment of the leading
farmers present at the meeting today.
II. H. Nanny, northwestern man
ager of the Brown-Spear-Sloan tele-
phone company of Seattle, who is in
the city today explaining the benefits
of the mutual system for Umatilla
county has just returned from a trip
over the eastern portion of the state
of Washington, where he has placed
an enormous amount of telephone
equipment in the past few weeks.
DR.. Nanny says that in the states
of oregon and Washington are 63
mutual telephone companies, covering
many counties completely, and fur
nishing excellent facilities to every
community in which they are operat-
ed.
The plan is to have one central Of
flee in county seat or commercial
the various lines may be operated.
One central girl can handle 100 tee-
phonse on mutual system and the
expense of maintaining the mutual
system after II is installed is but so
to 10 cents per month or something
over half the cost of telephones in the
city.
Many of the new mutual companies
now being organized in the north
west are using the Stromberg- Carlson
instruments, a new high grade instru-
ment, which is extensively used in the

Pueblo, March 1.-THE Adobe
wreck, while the exact loss OF life
will probably never be known, is
certain to be recorded as one of the
worst wrecks In railroad history.
A conservative estimate this morn
ing places the dead at SO. Seventeen
bodies are in the morgue in this city
unidentified Several others are
known to be dead. Possibly a score
were burned to ashes.
This morning the names of Captain
Patrick Murphy, Florence, Col; Ray
Field, aged 10 of Keystone, Wyo., and
Mrs. Belle Webb. Keystone, Wyo.,
were added to the list of dead.
Fifteen persons who were severely
injured in the disaster are lying on
cots at st. Marys hospital in this city,
with the prospect that some of them
will be added to the death list.
For two hours and half half
dressed men thrown from their berths
by the impact of the two trains rush.
ing together frantically tore at burn
ing timbers, endeavoring vainly to
extricate scorching people from an
awful fate. When a relief train ar
rived from Pueblo. there was little
left in the cars TO indicate that there
had been a precious freightase OF
human lives, excepting piles of
scorched flesh and smoldering bones.

the thermometer did not go lower
than IL or IA degrees above zero.
If there was any damage done they
say it occurred last Sunday or Mon
day night.
In order to ascertain the damage
done by the cold some of the farmers
have taken samples of wheat into
their houses and thawed them out to
see If the grain would grow. In some
cases, at least, this test showed the
wheat to have been frozen. Other
farmers maintain that nothing defin-
lite can be told until the ground be-
comes thawed out when the wheat
will continue growing if unhurt, AMI
will turn yellow If frozen.
Should 1t prove true that 4 large
portion of the light-land wheat has
been frozen, the loss will be keenly
felt, for II is now late in the season
to reseed in that section. Also. the
blow will be especially hard because
the conditions up to n week ago had
been ideal, and a splendid crop was
anticipated.
The section now thought to be
frozen comprises about one tenth of
the wheat acreage of the county. In
the remainder of the county there was
abundant snow at the time of the
freeze, and farmers all insist no dam
age was done to the growing crop,

Visalia, Cal, March 17.-Water
continues to rise and the business Sec
ticn is under water and the water is
b ing extended slowly. Another break
across the Santa Fe track in the city
limits caused additional water to flow
over the residence portion. Families
in the northeast section of town are
compelled to evacuate.
The Southern Pacific track west of
Nisalia was cut last night for a dis
tance of several hundred feet, and the
track is submerged for several miles.
The country in the vicinity of st.
John river is flooded for miles and
the water is eight feet deep. Esti-
mates put 10000 acres under water
in Tulare county. Many foundations
of brick buildings are cracked and
much damage has resulted. The wa
ter is reported falling at noon today
and the worst is believed to be over
although it is still raining in the hills.

WHEAT FROZEN OUT IN LIMITED AREA

That considerable wheat has been
frozen in that section of the county
lying west of the w. & C. r. railroad
is evident from the reports received
from farmers of that district.
Today quite a number of ranchers
from that part of the county have
been here upon business. and for the
most part they declare that their
wheat has been damaged. Some
place the loss at so per cent, while
others say they cannot estimate the
damage yet done, and some insist
there has been no injury.
Among those who have been here
today are ]. II. Richardson and A. b.
Mccarthy, both of whom say they
have been frozen out and are looking
for seed wheat. Ben Morton, Dave
Cargill and others have also been in
town. Mr.. Morton declares he can
not tell yet to what extent his wheat
has been damaged.
When the cold weather came on
there was but little snow over the
light-land section west of the w. &
C. r., and the wheat was not protect
ed as 1t was in the Helix country and
the portion north and east of Pen
dleton. 1t was not as cold in the
light-land section as It was here

Fuel Famine i'm Walla Walla.

Walla Walla, March 1T.-With a
visible supply of not to exceed so
tons of coal and only few hundred
cords of wood in the yards of dealers
in this city, Walla Walla faces the
worst fuel famine in its history. Deal
ers allowed their stock to run low
in expectation of spring weather, and
the unprecedented season of contin-
ued cold came upon them with such
suddenness that they were not pre-
pared to supply their customers from
the stocks on hand, and the demand
from all over the Northwest upon the
coal mines and woodshippers has been
so great and of such suddenness that
it is impossible to obtain fresh sup
plies with any degree of dispatch.

Denver, March 1.-THE 5000 en-
ployes in the car department of the
Denver & Rio Grande and Rio Grande
Southern railways have been denied
the advance of per cent in wages
asked by the joint protective board of
the Brotherhood of Railway Car Men.
Despite this rebuff the board officially
states this morning that there will be
no strike or demonstration of dis
pleasure.
A nine-hour day and 20 cents an
hour for car repairers was asked by
the protective board, which has been
meeting for several days with ]. r.
Grove, superintendent of motive pow
er and car department of the Denver
& Rio Grande. Mr.. Grove, according
to members of the union. has agreed
to make few individual raises, the
increase to be given certain old em-
ployes who are rendering good serv-
ice. A general raise and short
workday, as asked. was refused.

EUREKA WHEAT INJURED.
Farmers Fear That Entire Crop Must
BE ReSeeded.

Walla Walla, March 17.-(Special.)
Continued reports from Eureka
flat and other sections concerning the
damage to wheat by the recent cold
weather are substantiated by today's
reports.
Many farmers are of the opinion
that the entire crop is ruined, while
others hold a more optimistic view
and are confident that the damage
has been overestimated, All seem to
agree, however, that part Of the
fall wheat will have to be reseeded,
and in some sections An entirely new
crop will have to be put in.
John Martin, who owns large
wheat ranch on Dry creek, about
seven miles west of Walla Walla, was
in the city today and stated that he
feared most OF his crop was frozen
out. He said many Of the ranchers in
his section would lose a large percent.

proved to be true.

Crist Of the department of commerce
and labor has just returned from a
tour of months in Japan at northern
China investigating trade conditions.
He is encouraged at the prospects for
American commerce. The boycott did
not take root in the province of Tien
Tsin. He says:
American trade has grown and
will continue to grow. Even the RI
dicuious packing of American goods
does not prevent the Chinese buying
them. In neither the manufacture OF
cloth nor machinery can the japanese
equal the Americans, but the Japan
ese are improving. They are found

Joined in a sympathetic strike with
the stablemen's union. Isolated nom
union shops employing 80 men all
told. had their doors open. In the
main streets 1t was impossible to get
horses shod, and this condition will
probably continue until the stable
owners accede to the demands of the
union. The only horses which may
be shod in this city today are those of

The demands of the stablemen are
for $3.50 per day, not more than II

nully. The only seeds purchased by
the government hereafter, II congress

action, will be rare and unusual va

Jonnn's Dead Number $4,000,

An official report of the japanese
casualties in the war with Russia has
just been made. From this 1t appears
that the japanese who were killed or
died from wounds received in action
numbered about $4,000. and those
who died from disease or accident
were about $4,000, making the total
of deaths about $4,000. The number
of men actually in the field was L.
245,O00. That more men were killed
in action than died from disease is a
record believed to be without prece-
dent.
