WILL TRY TO GET FACTS.
Missouri's Attorney General Says He
Does Not Expect Much.

Does Not Expect Much.
New York, Jan. 8. - Attorney Gen
eral Hadley, of Missouri, said tonight
that he would probably ask for a hear
ing in the Supreme court in this city
on Wednesday or Thursday to deter
mine whether H. H. Rogers and other
directors of the Standard Oil company
must answer questions at the hearing
before Commissioner Sanborn regarding
tte control of oil companies operating
in Missouri.
81 confess" he says, "that l did
not have much hope when l came here
that the Standard Oil directors would
tell about the Standard Oil control of
the Waters-Pierce Oil company and two
other companies operating in Missouri,
but since they have appeared in answer
to suhpoenas, l shall make the best
effort | can to have them tell the
facts.
81 don't care, of course, to have any
body committed for contempt. shall
ask the court to have the witnesses di-
rected to answer certain questions
which they have declined to answer.
Ii the court orders them to answer and
they still refuse, shall have to leave
to the court the question of contempt.
"a refusal to answer in such a case
would be next best for my purpose to
an answer in the affirmative, since it
would be equivalent to an admission

FAVORS PHILIPPINE BILL.
Clark, Of Missouri, Occupies House
Floor for Three Hours.

Washington, Jan. 5.-"Champ Clark
Democracy" was expounded to the de-
light and entertainment of the house
for three hours today by Clark, of Mis-
souri,, and constituted the feature of
the debate ON the Philippine tariff bill.
Clark speech took a wide range and
he labeled his political beliefs as above,
in answer to question as to what
kind of Democrat he really was. He
talked of the Philippines and favored
the pending bill; he discussed the gen
eral tariff question and in particular
the German tariff situation. He re-
viewed William j. Bryan's record on
silver and paid his respects in charac-
teristc oratory to Republican leaders.
He ascribed future greatness to what
he termed the "stand pat" disciples
and declared that one of these, Secre-
tary Shaw, whose record as secretary of
the Treasury included, he said, classl-
flying frogs legs as poultry and ponies
as "household articles' for the collec-
ton of revenue was logical Republi-
can presidential possibility, unless the
mantle should fall on "the gray and
grizzled speaker, Uncle Joe Cannon"
Fordney, of Michigan, opposed the
measure. He expressed his disgust
that the bill was made to represent a
movement under the name of "reciproc-
ity." He reviewed exhaustively the
sugar beet industry and argued earn
estly for its protection against compe-
tition with the Philippines. Fordney
at 5 o'clock, when the house
adjourned until tomorrow.

SECOND IN TRADE.
Immense Volume of Business With
Germany During 1905.

Immense Volume Of Business With
Germany During 1905.
Washington, Jan. 9.-Trade between
the United States and Germany, whose
commercial relations are now the sub
ject of negotiations between the two
countries, aggregated in the fiscal year
1905 over $500, 100000. A report
issued today by the bureau of Statis-
tics of the department of Commerce
and Labor, says:
''The imports from Germany were
Sis. 100000 in value and exceeded
imports from that country in any ear
ler year. The exports to Germany
We're $l94 900, 900 in value and ex-
ceeded our exports to that country in
any earlier year except 1904, in which
year the total WAS over s214, 900,
this decrease in 1905 compared with
1904 having occurred in raw cotton and
being due altogether to fall in prices,
since the quantity in 1905 was greater
that in 1904. Imports from Germany
increased $37 100000 in the period
HUH lOuO W JOO anu CAPOIl lS W tldt
country increased $lO,OO0,00O in the
same time.
Germany stands second in the
order of magnitude of our trade with
foreign countries, both as to imports
and exports.
Manufactures are the bulk of the
Sis, 900, 900 worth of merchandise i'm
ported from Germany.
In manufactures, especially copper,
leather, scientific instruments
and certain manufactures of iron and
steel, our exports to Germany show a
steady growth. The value Of copper
in bars and plates exported from the
United States to Germany amounted to
over $l4, 100000.

lowing public interview by General

MAY HOLD BALANCE.
United States May Act as Arbiter in
Moroccan Conference

Moroccan Conference.
Washington, Jan. 8. - The agitation
in Europe over the coming Moroccan
conference and the result it may bring
has spread to this country and officials
here are now deeply interested in the
matter because of the recently devel-
oped fact that the American delegation
has become the most prominent factor
OF the gathering.
1t has been believed here that the
various European governments which
are go deeply interested in the confer
ence, notably France and Germany,
had agreed to a program which would
be adhered to rigidly. The possibility
Of split between these two govern
ments on some of the questions in
volved may throw the United States
into position where its delegates with
their votes will have the power to settle
the question. In that event, it is con-
sidered, the position of the United
States may become embarrassing.
1t is learned on good authority that
the United States government will do
everything in its power to bring about
a peaceful settlement of the issues
which will be discussed at the confer
ence. From this it appears that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has again determined to
use all his power in keeping the world
at peace. The difficulties of the stua.
tion are great and the American mis-
sion will undoubtedly have much work
IN do

lowing a conference of the traffic man.

securing pledges to this end, and the
announcement is Just made.

Must Keep Roads Open.

Weston - Unless people residing on
the line of rural postoifice delivery
system keep the roads leading to their
places in passable condition they are
likely to lose their service. The con-
dition OF the mountain roads out of
Weston has at times been so bad that
it was difficult for Carrier B. F. Somer.
vile to make his trips, and report of
the matter to the authorities at Wash
ington has brought that ultimatum to
Postmaster Baker at this place

Snow a Boon to WaIIowa County.

Wallowa-There has been decided
fall in temperature since early in De-
cember, but snow has fallen to sufficient
depth to make sleighing very agreeable.
Nearly all the farmers and many others
are making good use Of the sleighing
privilege. The Joseph Elgin Stage
company is now carrying passengers
and mail on bobsleds. Much better
time is made now than by using their
coaches. While the road remains froz-
en- and no chinook occurs, sleighing
will be the easiest means to bring in
freight from outside points.

COUNTY REPORTS SLOW.
Secretary of State Will Ask legisIa-
ture to Provide Penalty.

Salem-The summary of the tax val

ed at the office OF the secretary of state,
shows total valuation of $9,60S, ,045
for the year 1905, as against 1854 900
tor the year 1904.
All the counties except Lane, NAL
heur, Grant and Curry have filed their
reports with the secretary of state for
this year. According to the law all
the reports of the several counties
should have been filed not later than
November l, but as there is no penalty
for failing to comply with the law, the
secretary cannot compel the county
courts or the county clerks to send in
their reports until they get ready.
1t is the intention to ask the next
legislature to provide penalty to be
assessed against the counties for neglect
in this regard,

irrigation Promises Much.

Echo - The announcement that the
government would complete the irriga-
tion system here has stimulated busi-
ness. Work is being rushed on the big
Furnish ditch, which is to be taken
over ty the government when complet-
ed. Over 100 men are now employed
and nearly as many teams. There are
now 10 new buildings under construc-
ton, but progress is retarded by the in
ability of the two lumber companies to
furnish material as fast as needed.
