Branching Out.

Chas. L. Butler, who has been an
honored and respected citizen of EN-
porium for twenty-five years-one of
our most intelligent and clean business
men, as we'll as dyed in the wool
Republican, has branched out in busi-
ness, having purchased the Chas. Little
wagon and blacksmith shops at Port
Allegany and taken possession of the
same. He now has several men in his
employ. Mr.. Buffers property and
family being here we hope he may con-
tinue to make Emporium his home, for
he and his estimable family have SO
long been identified with Emporium

part with them. Our Port Allegany
friends will find Chas. L. Butler an up-
right, honorable business man, honest
as gold dollar and a good workman.
We wish him we'll

Admits Standard Ownership Of Sup
posed Independent Concerns.
New York. March 26.-H. H. Rogers
Saturday answered the questions put to
him by Attorney General Hadley, of
Missouri, in the proceedings to oust tt 9
Standard Oil company, the Waters
Pierce Oil company, and the Republic
Oil company from Missouri, and the
Standard Oil lawyers admitted that the
Standard owns majority of the stock
CT the other two companies. Thus Mr..
Hadley has overcome his most recalci-
trant witness and has proved the main
point of his contention. Today he will
60 further and prove by documentary
and other evidence that the three COM
panies are all managed by the Standal d
officials at 26 Broadway. There was a
decided change in Mr.. Rogers manner
under examination, but he still pleaded
lapse of memory or ignorance on several
important points. w. G.. Rockefeller
also testified and his memory failed on
several questions.
Mr.. Rogers admitted that he was a
stockholder in the Standard Oil COM
pany Of Indiana, but said he did not
know in detail of the conditions of the
sale of oil in Missouri, nor did he know
about the division OF that state between
the Waters-Pierce and Republic Oil
companies.

PORTLAND MAY GET TIME BALL
Navy Department Favorably Considers
Board Of Trades Request.

Washington, March 20. - Senator
Fulton was assured today by the secre-
tary Of the navy that the Equipment
bureau had been Investigating the ne
cessity of installing at Portland the
time ball system for the aid of mari
ners. Mr.. Fulton had presented the
request of the Portland board of trade,
with an urgent appeal that this usual
feature of maritime cities be part of the
government equipment of Portland.
The matter seems to have the favor
of the head of the department, and, un-
less unforeseen difficulties intervene,
orders for the work are expected to be
issued in the near future.
In presenting the request of Port
lands mariners and merchants, the
board of trade emphasized the troubles
now experienced by captains in check
ing the variations of their chronome-
ters, and brought to the attention of
the senator the large number of vessels
visiting Portland annually. These
facts have been placed before the de-
partment.

GOVERNMENT MAY APPEAL.
Wants to Punish Officers of the Beef
Trust with Corporations.

Washington, March "a. - President
Roosevelt held an extended conference
today with Attorney General Moody,
Secretary Taft and James R Garfield,
commissioner of corporations, concern
ing the adverse decision rendered in
Chicago by Judge Humphreys in the
beef packers case. No details of the
conference were obtainable at the
white house, but it is certain the at
torney general proposes to look care
fully into the law bearing upon the
matter, with view of ascertaining
whether an appeal from the decision of
Judge Humphrey by the government
will lie.
Despite the decision relieving the
individual officers of the packing cor
porations prosecution will continue, of
course, but it was the desire of
the government to place responsibility
for the violations of the law upon Off
cials Of the corporations where they
are found to be guilty of such viola
tions. In such efforts as may be made
by the attorney general and other Off
cials of the department of Justice to-
secure an appeal from the decision of
Judge Humphrey, this point will be
kept to the front. 1t could not be de-
cided at the conference today whether
an appeal from the decision would lie,
but that question will be gone over
and if, in the opinion of the
law officers of the government, foun-
dation for an appeal can be made, it
will be taken.

NFWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
COMPLAIN OF GRAZING RULE.
Oregon Stockmen's Grievances Are
Taken Up by Senator Fulton.

Taken Up by Senator Fulton.
Washington-Senat Fulton has re-
ceived many letters of complaint from
stockmen of Oregon, who express dls-
satisfaction with the manner in which
the forest service is managing the sum-
mer range in forest reserves. The
sheepmen of Umatilla county feel that
they have been unfairly treated in the
distribution of range in the Wenaha re-
serve, and the sheep and cattlemen
whose stock is permitted to Craze in
the Cascade reserve feel that they are
paying too much for the privilege. 30
far as the Cascade reserve is concerned,
the sheepmeh object to paying & cents
a head for the grazing privilege when
sheep are permitted in other reserves
at 4 and cents each.
The forest service explains that the
grazing season in the Cascade reserve
is longer than in the reserves where the
fee is smaller. So far as the Wenaha
reserve is concerned, the range has
been apportioned for the coming sea-
son. and it is too late to bring about
readjustment. To ascertain all the
facts, with the view to laying the mst-
ter before the forest service in it's true
light, Mr.. Fulton has requested the
stockmen of Oregon to furnish him with
accurate data, that he may adjust these
matters before another grazing season

MISERY OF STARVING.
Japanese Live on Flour Mixed With
Straw and Weeds.

Japanese Live on Flour Mixed With
Straw and Weeds.
Toxic, March 81. - The misery and
suffering in the famine district has
been slightly relieved by the prompt
and liberal aid from foreign sources
and the abatement OF the rigors OF
winter. The local authorities are try
ing to provide work for the ablebodied,
but the extent of the work is inade-
qnate, and tens Of thousands are still
on the verge of starvation.
Many parents are parting with their
children, sending them to the already
crowded Okayama orphanage. Several
children are quartered at the Ueyno
railway station in this city. Among
them was girl 6 years old. who was
found treasuring package OF dirty old
newspapers. On examination the pack
age was found to contain postal card,
with the address Of the parents of the
child, who had been told to mail the
card upon her arrival at her destina-
ton. The severity of the suffering un-
dergone by the children is clearly de-
picted in the faces of those who are
compelled to part from their homes,
where the food consists of -four mixed
with straw and weeds. The mixture is
beaten fine, forming paste, which
contains only 25 per cent actual food
value.
The government has remitted the
lowest tax in the famine district, but
this will not afford immediate relief.
The liberal contributions from Ameri-
cans are already effective, and the re-
lief in the form of food and clothing is
commanding the heartiest apprecia-
ton.
Another appeal for aid is presenterd
by the sufferers from the earthquake
in Formosa, hundreds of whom are
homeless. The local government is
busy providing food, caring for the in
jured, ard recovering and removing
corpses, several hundred of which are
buried under the debris.
