Sur a visit and receiving treatment for
injuries received in the Gold Reef
mine at Gilt Edge, Mont. Mr.. Trem-
melting had very narrow escape
from death in the mine in September,
and the physicians who attended him
there consider it a miracle that he is
alive.
He was working at the collar of the
chute when a cave-in occurred. Rocks
and dirt choked the chute and his
body was pinned to the side, his head
down and his feet up. a large rock
struck his head and he was released
about an hour later more dead than
alive. Several ribs were fractured,
his head badly injured and he nearly
bled to death. The drum of his right
ear was broken and his hearing is i'm

That Oregon is not to be alone in
the indictment of public officials for
land frauds is shown by the investi-
cations in salt Lake City. a special
from salt Lake says:
The federal grand jury, which has
been sitting here for the last two
weeks. has voted to return five true
bills against corporations and against
some of the persons who have been
implicated in the wholesale stealing
of the public land in the state of Wy

COAL FAMINE STILL PINCHEs.
WalIa Walla Not Relieved by Cana.
dian Supply.

That the promised supply of coal
from British Columbia by way Of
Spokane has not relieved the fuel sit
uation in Walla Walla ana other east
ern Washington points, is shown by
the following from the Walla Walla
Statesman. The Statesman of Tues
day says:
Unless the coal situation is relieved
within a few days Walla Walla's Ii
brary will be compelled to close for
lack of fuel. For the past few days
the supply has been almost exhausted
and Sunday the building was closed
all day on account of the scarcity Of
fuel A ton Of coal was secured to-
day which will probably last about
10 days.
T. c. Elliott, secretary of the library
association, stated this afternoon that
contract had been signed with Sam
uel Loney & Co. for the delivery Of 20
tons Of coal during last June, but that
so far Mr.. Loney had been unable to
deliver 1t TO them, and ii had been
necessary for the association to go
into the open market for the purchase
OF fuel.
The ton which was secured for the
library this morning is the Pennsyl-
vania variety of hard coal and was
purchased at a cost Of SIS. Unless
more fuel is secured for the institu-
tion within a short time it will be
necessary for the library to remain
closed until the situation is fully re-
| lieved.
At the penitentiary the coal supply
| is nearly exhausted, but Warden Kin
caid stated this morning that they
were burning wood and scraping the
| corners of the coal bins carefully tc
get the necessary fuel and hoped tc
have things going all right until the
expected coal arrived today.

MANCHURIA PROGRESSING.
Manchus Are Good Farmers and Are
Developing the Country.

Since Pendleton flour goes into
Manchuria in large quantities, the
following review of the progress and
lean Consul Jones of Dalny, will be
Of interest to Umatilla county people:
The Manchus are good farmers and
there should be a first-class field here
for farming implements of all kinds,
says Consul Jones. Flour Is a staple
among the Manchurians. They use it
in the making of bread and macaroni.
The fertile fields of the Sungari val
ley will likely be planted in wheat this
fall. This will, If successful, put a
large supply Of grain on the market
and create a demand for milling ma
chinery.
Cotton piece goods is another sta
pie. Japan is after tins market in
earnest. She has increased nearly all
her mills in Japan and is sending to
Manchuria quantities of piece goods,
already dyed and ready to make up.
This, it seems, is what the Chinese
want. The favorite colors are light
| and dark blue, and the japanese,
knowing the wants OF tne CnlneSe'
are taking advantage of this knowl-
edge to supply them direct.
Building material of all descrip-
| tions is in demand. There is ample
time for the business men of the
United States to capture a portion of
this field Spring opens early in
March, and unless all signs fail there
will be a great deal of building done
in Dalny and Port Arthur.
The wealthy Chinese merchants pre-
dict for Dalny a great future. They
say it will be the distributing point for
all of Manchuria, provided of course,
| (and they lay great stress upon this
facO, that the South Manchurian
railroad shall prove a success and
lower its freight rates in competition
with the junk transports on the Liao
river at Niuchwang.
There is considerable talk of the
establishment of a Chinese custom
house at Dalny during the coming
winter. OF course this will be foI
goods intended for the Manchuriar
trade outside OF the leased territory.

tail, loosely coiled in three rings.
The body also is bent in several not
ungraceful loops. 1t extends in
generally north and south direction.
The air line distance from the eX-
treme end of the oval ring to the
outermost ring of the tail is about
500 feet, but if the figure could be
pulled out straight it's length (in-
cluding the oval object near the
head) would be 1885 feet, or fully a
quarter of a mile! At the largest
part of the body the width is twenty
feet, but the tail is only four or five
feet wide. The height varies from
four to six feet. The oval embank-
ment measures 120 feet in length
the longest way, from outside edge
to outside edge. The interior di-
mensions are eighty-six by thirty
feet.
The site of this singular construc-
tion is the top of a plateau that
rises abruptly to height of at least
100 feet at the north end (where the
head is), and the difference in ele-
vation above the surrounding coun-
try is nearly the same on the sides.
There is evidence that streams ex-
listing either now or at some time in
the past carved out this colossal al
tar.
The serpent mound of Ohio was
first discovered by Squier and Davis
in 1S45, who described it in report
to the Smithsonian Institution. It's
preservation is due to the activity of
Professor F. w. Putnam, of Boston,
and the generosity of Miss Alice
Fletcher of the same city, who fur
nished the money to purchase the
land and create a park. The place
was not properly cared for, however,
and at the suggestion of E. o. Ran
dali, secretary of the Ohio State Ar
Genealogical and Historical Society,
the custody of the park was wisely
intrusted to that organization. MIR.
Randall has recently written book
on the subject, and it is from that
publication that the accompanying il
lustration is taken.
Another efigy of the same kind
was discovered years ago in Canada,
not far from Toronto. 1t is called

DoUKHoBoRs FORCED TO EAT.
Liquid Food Pumped Down the
Throats of Fanatics in Jail.

Montreal, Quebec. - Fourteen
Doukhobors incarcerated in the jail
at Regina absolutely refuse to par
take of food. Nourishment has to
be forced through their teeth by sci
entific means. These men are lead
ers of the famous band that braved
the prickly cactus with naked feet
while they wandered nude over the
prairies.
They have resolved that if the po-
lice authorities will not allow them
to turn Saskatchewan into Veritable
garden of Eden they will starve their
bodies. It was not long ago that sew
eral Doukhobor fanatics who were
imprisoned in the same jail refused
to eat unless they were fed on Cali
fornia peaches, unwashed potatoes
and peanuts. These fourteen will
not even eat the rawest of vegetables
or the most tempting fruit.
The authorities realized that eX-
traordinary measures had to be
adopted. A physician was sum-
moned. Each Douknobor was LAID
on his back, pinned to the floor and
LIQUID nourishment pumped into him.
This proved so successful that it was
resolved to repeat the operation three
times day until the fanatics should
come to their senses. The Doukho-
bors have got to live, whether they
like 1t or not.

Advantages of Walking.

Few things, if any, are so effec-
tual in building up and sustaining
the physical organization as walking,
if resolutely and judiciously followed.
1t is perfec: exercise, which taxes
the entire system. When you walk
properly, every member and muscle
every fiber, has something to do. Er-
cry sense is employed every faculty
alert. Progress under such condi-
tions is the very eloquence of physi-
cal motion What is the effect? The
flesh is solidifcd; the lungs grow
strong and sound; the chest enlarges;
the limbs are rounded out; the ten
dons swell and tougher; the figure
rises in height and dignity; and is
clothed with grace and suppleness.
Not merely the body, but the whole
man is developed DR.. FELIX l.. Os-
wald.

because it is situated in Otonabee
County. Professor David Boyle, of
Toronto, says that excavation in the
Canadian mound revealed two skele-
tons in a sitting posture, besides ex-
ira arm and leg bones, a skull and
the teeth of dogs or wolves. The
head of the Otonabee serpent points
to the eastward, and there is rep
resentation Of an egg opposite the
open mouth. Similar formations
(but possibly without the egg are
known to exist at Mayville, Green
Lake, Madison, Potosi and other
places in Wisconsin, and at least one
has been found in Illinois.
Mr.. Randall discusses at much
length the possible significance of the
form of these mounds. The serpent
was an object of worship by many
ancient nations, though it is not
easy to understand how such ideas
could have been imported into Amer
lea in the days when ocean transpor-
tation was dangerous. Yet there
seems to be probability that they
did get here, and had some in1u-

HARVARD LOSES BOAT RACE
Cambridge Crew Had Advantage
From the Start.
Greatest Crowd Ever Gathered to
Witness Struggle on Thames Be-
tween Americans and Britors.

Putney, England.-Calmly, as II
they were sure of the result, the oars
men of the Cambridge eight gave
Harvard's rowers stern chase over
TIE four and three-eighths miles Of
the historic Putney-Mortlake course
on the Thames and, sticking to their
steady stroke most of the way, won
by more than two lengths in nineteen
minutes sixteen seconds-twenty-nine
seconds worse than Oxford's record Of
thirteen years ago. Harvard not only
lost the toss for position, but got off
badly, and practically never had a
cNance.
Nevertheless the crimson galley
men made more than one good spurt,
and when shooting Hammersmith
bridge almost broke the composure
of the Cantabs by making a cut OF a
length in the British boats lead. But
in addition to their other handicaps
the visitors had the, disadvantage Of
bad steering in an important par: of
the course, their coXswain, M. B.
Blagden, not having familiarized him
self with all the tricks of the tide.
The Englishmen's triumph was due
not only to their superiority in start
ing and their better knowledge of the
going, but to superb steadiness on
the part Of their stroke, Stuart, who
declined to be worried by the Ameri-
cans gallant efforts to Cveftake the
pacemakers. In a word, the better
crew won, although it is to be said
that the Cantabs were worn out at
the finish, while the Crimsons we're
