SESSION WILL BE BUSY.
Congress May Make Changes in Sev
eraI Important Laws.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The indica
tions are that the short session of con
gress that opens December and ex.
pires by limitation March 1 next, will
not 90 down in history because of any
particular achievement. 1t will be q
busy session; all short sessions are, fol
three months is none too much time in
which to perfect and pass the regular
appropriation bills. Aside from this
Legislation, little of.national importance
Is likely to result.
Following out recommendations made
by the president in his annual message,
the house may frame, and possibly
pass, some sort of bill limiting inherit
ances; some bill proposing changes in
the rate law, the pure food law and the
antitrust law may be proposed and dis
cussed, but nothing of this character is
likely to get through the senate. Nor
Is there the slightest possibility of the
passage or even report of a tariff bill.
These problems are of too great i'm
portance to be disposed of in short
session, but a limited d discussion may
serve to bring the various topics fairly
before the country, and may result in
legislation at the long session of the
next congress. This was therourse fol-
lowed in the case of the railroad rate
bill, and it proved to be wise move
on the part of the house leaders.

GOLD IN THE WRECK.
Eastern Men Secure Concession from
Mexico for Recovery.

Mexico City, Nov. 27.- \ special tc
tn Herald from Guadala jara says:
b. f. Richardson, a capitalist OF
Pennsylvania, and c. W. Johnston, a
Delaware man, have secured from the
Mexican government cOnscessiOn for
the recovery of the gold that ,still re-
mains in the hull of the Golden Gate,
the American ship that was beached on
the coast of Colima, a short distance
from Manzanillo, in the winter of 1861 :
62. Mr.. Richardson is now in this
city. Mr.. Johnston recently left San
Francisco for the scene of the wreck
accompanied by divers and other assist
ants.
The Golden Gate was on the wav
from San Francisco to New York, and
carried nearly 81 10000 in gold coin,
destined for New York banks. While
heading north toward Manzanillo fire
broke out aboard the vessel, and in an
to save the passengers the ship
was run ashore. However, nearly 200
persons were either burned to death or
drowned. OF the amount aboard the
ship, between 100000 and 5000, 900
was recovered some time later. 1t is
believed that there still remains in the
hulk of the vessel at least $500. 900 in

big INDUSTRIES
ADVANCE WAGES
Steel Trust Takes the Lead in Great
Movement.
Sixty Thousand Men Are Affected
and Millions Of Dollare Viii Be
Added to the PaYrolle Annually
Two Big Railroad Companies In
cluded.

Chicago, Nov. 24.-Sixty thousand
employees of the great industrial and
railroad corporations were today grant
ed increases in wages that will add mil
lions to the annual payrolls. One Of
the notable increases was that announ-
ced by the United States Steel corpora
ton, by which its 10000 unskilled
workers will receive an addition of 10
cents per day to their wages after Jar =
uary l. This will add about 5000, 900
to the payroll.
The New York Central fremen were
today granted an advance averaging be-
tween 6 and 7 per cent as a result Of
completion Of the wage conference at
New York. The advance applies to all
the lines CT the company except the
Boston Il Albany and affects about
5000 nel. BY an adjustment OF the
working hours fremen on switch en-
gines will hereafter have to work only
10 hours a day instead OF u.
pany announced at Calumet, Mich, to-
day, that, beginning January |, the
wages of all its employees at the mines
and stamp mills would be advanced 10
per cent. The action, which affects
between 5000 and 10000 men, was
taken voluntarily, the first intimation
being given the employees when the no.
tees were posted.
Beginning next Monday, 80, GOO cot
ton mill operatives at Fall River,
Mass, will work under new scale,
adding 10 per cent to their wages. The
agreement in this case was forced on
the managers, by. the operatives, who
had voted to strike unless the new scale
was adopted, and also by the fact that
NJ. G. d. Borden, an important manu-
facturer employing 5000 hands, and
the Fall River Iron works mills had al
ready met the demands Of the mill
hands, and his action forced the other
mill managers to yield

SEEKS GUARANTEE.
Norway Fears Russia May Attempt to
Seize One Of Her Ports.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 26.-An inter
national compact guaranteeing the in
violability of Norway against territorial
aggression by any power whatever, and
giving the new kingdom IA status some
what similar to that Of Switzerland and
Belgium will soon be inscribed on the
records of diplomacy. On account of
its extended position, the possession of
valuable deep water harbors on the At
lantic and the agreement with Sweden
against fortitcation in the neighborhOod
OF the frontier, Norway is ina peculiar
ly exposed position and the first efforts
of the Morse diplomacy have been di-
rected toward eliminating the danger
of being attacked and securing facilities
for the peaceful development of the
country without the crushing burden Of
a large army.
With regard to the action Of Norway
in approaching the powers for the pur-
pose OF securing these concessions, 1T
can lie stated that Russia, the power
most directly concerned and from which
Norway apparently had most to fear,
in spite of the denial by the Russian
foreign office that Russia was endeavor-
ing to secure a Norwegian port, or in
any way contemplated infringing on
Norwegian territory, had 10 objection
to the conclusion of a convention. Ger
many already had signifed her approx
al of the movement Of which Great
Britain is the sponsor, and France will
follow suit.
Russia admittedly contemplated Sc
curing a deep water harbor, one easily
defensible, on the ford southwark of
North Cape, but is now willing to dis
claim these pretensiOn and make the
be use OF the present available port OF
\ lokatemina, on the Murmanian coast.

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
MONEY IN POTATOES.
Grand Ronde Farmers Market Big
Crops at Good Prices.

La Grande Farmers who planted
potatoes last spring are reaping boun-
tiful harvest in the Grand Ronde val
ley. The gross income from this year S
crop is placed at $50, 900 on the output
of potatoes from this valley. 1t is es-
timated that 100 cars will be necessary
to ship this seasons crop. These fig
ures are computed on the basis of 900
acres with an average yield of GO sacks
to the acre This has been the yield
on unirrigated lands on the Sand
ridge section, and the estimate is con-
servative. More than half OF the entire
potatoe acreage of the valley is in the
vicinity of Imblen and Alcel.
Fields that have produced go sacks to
the acre-and very many tracts have
done better than that-give a net re-
turn of $27 so per acre. The gross re-
ceipts from an acre at the present price
of 65 cents per sack amounts to $50.
One OF the prominent growers figures
the cost of production per acre at
$l1 so, as follows: Cultivating, So;
digging, and sacking, So; sacks, So;
seed, 81; hauling, $50.
The heaviest yield so far reported is
that of A. j. Surby, Of Cove, who has
secured 800 sacks from an acre. At the
present market price, Mr.. Surby's in
come for an acre is $195, OF which
about $lS3 so is net. A six-acre field
on the Oregon Red Apple company's
ground, north of La Grande, gives a
yield of POO sacks per acre. These po-
tatoes are grown entirely without irri-
cation, and on account of their superior
quality are rated 10 cents higher than
the open market.
The returns from the six acres will
be 5000. The patch was planted as a !
matter of getting the ground in suitable
for cultivation.

COAL MINE OPENED,
Company Finds Eighteen-Foot Vein
Near Ashland.

Ashland-There is no little interest
and enthusiasm in this section of the
state over the opening up of what ap-
pears to be permanent coal deposits
Coal groupings have been discovered for
80 or 40 miles along the Cascades from
the state line northward, but no depos-
lts OF sufficient extent to justify devel-
opment have been found in the pros
pecting heretofore. Some lime ago the
company that is opening the Blue Lead
copper mines in this section, after Sc
curing leases on considerable area of
land, began prospecting on the Furrey
place on the east side of Bear creek,
about seven miles from Ashland.
They began by running two tunnels
INTO the mountain. One Of these is
now 27O and the other 24O Ieet into the
mountain, and an lS--foot vein of coal
has been opened up. The coal has
been tested and appears to be of excel
lent quality. The tunnels are seven
feet square and run parellel 20 feet
apart. They are well timbered and
are being connected by cross cuts every
70 feet, for ventilation and to extract
the coal. They extend into the noun
tain from the west to the east on
per cent incline.
About 25 men are being employed
and the work is being pushed night and
day. Other crews are employed in
