Wound.

restaurant man of this city, died
in the Fanny Paddock hospital in Ia
coma Of blood poisoning. The remains

had nail in it and drove the nail into
his knee The wound was only slight
one and nothing was thought of it..

pain MIN and became badly swollen.
Local physicians were summoned and

specialist was called from Tacoma. On
Saturday Strahm was taken to the
hospital, and his unexpected demise
followed shortly afterward. Deceased

SSIONERS SAY THEY HAVE
EXPENDED ALL THAT is NEG
ESSARY.

The Maxwell road in the Touche1
country over which Contractor Haw-
ley, Surveyor w. Loehr and the COM
missioners have been at outs for near
ly a month, was effectually disposed OF
at yesterdays session of the board
The commissioners decided that they
had spent all the money they wanted
to On the road, and as the contract ex-
listing between Contractor Hawley and
the commissioners gave the COM
missioners the right to discontinue
work at any time, the board took ad-
vantage of the clause and ordered all
work stopped for the time being. Sur
veyor Loehr submitted an estimate Of
the work already done on the road
which footed up s171S43 and which
will be paid Mr.. Hawley.
The surveyor maintains the road is
not completed, but the commissioners
contend otherwise, and the matter will
stand at that

PENDLETON, Ore, Jan. An. v.
Cooper, section foreman at Barnhart
station a few miles west of this city,
was assaulted by a gang Of section
men he had been working along the
tracks. Most of the men are Greeks,
and the trouble is over the refusal of
the o. r. & N. to provide passes after
the foreman found it necessary to dis
charge them. The Greeks have made
threats upon the life of Mr.. Cooper,
though so far no actual violence has
occurred. Officers in this city have
been notified, and the men are still
at Barnhart waiting for their passes,
and say that they will take vengeance
on the foreman if they do not receive
them.

Ice Rink

Unless the plans alreadylaid DO
not carry thru Hope will have an
ice skating rink this winter. q.
G. Major & Sons are now in cor
respondence with "a st. Louis
firm in regard t a tent to beused
as a covering for the rink. It
will be a huge affair, seventy-hve
by one hundred-forty feet.
It's somewhat of a novelty to
use canvas as a covering for a
skating rink altho it has already
been done with success. The
cost of lumber almost precludes
it's use as the building could be
used only a small part of the year.
It is planned to1ocate the rink
just north oftheN New Hope House
and work will probably be begun
there within a few days. The
rink will be lighted with two
large gasoline lamps.

Takes Exception

The Pioneer last week made
the statement that from what we
could learn there would be a con-
test in the election of the state
senator from this district and
Mr.. Washburn, democrat, claims
a vote or two in Willow Lake, etc.
to which Mr.. Washburn takes
exception. Mr.. Washburn wants
it to be understood that the arti-
Gle published in last weeks Pho
neer was published without
authority from him. The Pioneer
did not consult about the matter
as we perhaps should have done,
but it was the general topic of
discussion that the election would
be contested, even when the vote
was annouced. at four majority
for Crane and it was this general
discussion that prompted the
statement made last week. AS
Mr. Washburn is the only man
who>can say definitely whether
there will be a contest or not we
doff our hat to the Senator Qess
two votes) Washburn and will
say that it was without his au-
thority that the Pioneer made
the statement that there would
be a contest. In the meantime
we will sit back and patiently
watch developments. Mr.. Wash
burn, as we understand him, does
not believe in contests and, if
there is one, he will be forced in
to it by his political friends.

will be The Higher Expansion"
Altho only ayoung man, James
Hoffman atten has already made
a name for himself. He is at
present pastor of the Congrega-
tional church. at Valley City. On
account of the number of people
he drew to hear him the church
was found to be too small last
winter so the Armory was rented
for both morning and evening
services and it is said that. the
building was well filed at every
service.
During the summer Mr.. Batten
made the round among the Iowa
Chautauquas and everywhere he
was well received. His theme of
ideals" is one that appeals to
the present day citizen and the
subject on which he will lecture
. et-, E. --, -
here, THE Higher Expansion"
is along this line and is bound to
be interesting.
The young men of the church
have taken it upon themselves to
see that the expense incurred
this summer in putting the Gem
ent walk in front of the church
property is paid and the proceeds
of this lecture are to go for that
purpose.

Exposition

OF all exhibitions held in the United
States since the Philadelphia c%entenni-
al of 1876, the jamestown Ter-Centen-
NAL to be held on the shores and wat
ers of Hampton Roads, near the cities
of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Newport
News, Va, April 26 to November 30,
1907, is to be the most unique, and in
originality and novelty will complete
ly eclipse all previous expositions.
The celebration concentrates the
most important event in history-the
founding of the first Englsh-speaking
settlement in America, at jamestown,
Va, in 1907, where Captain John
Smith and a small party of colonists
established a village from which has
grown America, with nearly n hun
dred million population. The cele-
bration will show the remarkable pos
ition attained by the United States in
history and education, together with
the marvellous industrial development
and commercial expansion during
three hundred years. Contemporaries
Gus with the Exposition will be held
on the waters of Hampton Roads the
greatest naval pageant ever witnessed
in the world, in which every type OF
war vessel from the navies of all for
eign nations will participate. Another
attractive feature will be the internat-
tional military encampment in which
detachments of troops of European
countries will unite with the soldiers
of the United States in a series of
drills, maneuvers, parades, etc.
In assembling the exhibits, especial
ly those representing the varied in
dustries and the liberal arts the man
ayers of the Exposition have been
careful to select only such as show the
latest and best attachments in every
line of industry. Hence, it will be the
first ''selective" exposition ever held
in the United States, in which every
phase of commercial and industrial
development will be displayed SO ar.
ranged and classified that visitors may
obtain an intelligent understanding O.
the history and growth of any specific
branch of the trades and industries
without the necessity of visiting othel
buildings to inspect another part O
the same exhibit.

GOLD TREASURE ~ THE TON.

New World Into Old.

vast Store Of Wealth Emptied From
New World Into Old.
II mas never been told how vast
was the treasure that was emptied
from the new world into the old in
those days-the glorious days of
spanish dominion, says Harper's Mag
azlne. We can only Judge of how
great it was by collateral evidence.
The booties of Cortez and of Pizarro
are famous in annals of new world
history. In them we have read how
the soldiers of the former carried
away only a small part of the treas
ures looted at Mexico, yet were so
loaded down with stolen gold that
when they fell from the causeway in.
to the lake in the memorable retreat
from Mexico they sank and drowned
as weighted down with plummets of
lead. Also We read how Pizarro ex.
acted as a tribute for the alterations
OF the Inca Atahulpa gold that filled
to the depth of several feet a room
IL feet WIDE by % feet long and
which was valued at 100000 pesos
d'or-the equivalent of nearly S15..
100000 of our money.
When Drake sailed the South sea
IN the Golden Hind upon his piratical
voyage of circumnavigation in the
years 1919 and when he captured
the Nuestra Sonora della Conception
-surnamed the Cacafuego, or Spit
fire-off Cape San Francisco, it took
three days to transfer the treasure
from the captured ship of his own.
In that single haul there was realiz-
ed a purchase" as it was called,
OF over rs tons of silver. besides so
pounds cf virgin gold, 10 chests of
pieces of eight containing over 81 ,OOO..
900 in money and an enormous amount
of jewels and plate.
Upon the evidence of John Drake
we read that when the Golden Hind
laid her course for England, by the
way Of the Cape of Good Hope. she
was so heavily "ballasted" with pure
silver that she erode exceedingly deep
