Reach No Settlement.

DODD STILL HAS THE STOCK
BOOKING ACCOUNTING,

PENDLETON, Or, Feb. 16.-Still
the struggle for the control of the
Morning Tribune goes on, and the
papers affairs seem to be no nearer a
settlement than When the fight COM
menced.
Mr. Dodd states that through his
attorneys he has made an offer to pur-
chase the interest of his former en-
ployes, paying them what they had
paid for their stock and also interest
for an entire year, even though much
of the stock owned by the men had
been paid for in weekly installments
during the year. However, he says
this offer was declined and twice the
price demanded by the insurgents.
Likewise he stated that he had been
unable to make an accounting to the
directors because of the fact that the
books had been taken from the office
and were not accessible to him.
However, when A. D. Stillmna, at
torney for the employees, and c. w.
Myers, present manager were seen
both denied point blank that they had
ever demanded double value for the
stock, or that any answer whatever
had been given to the offer from Mr.
Dodd. Also, they declare that the
books Of the company are accessible at
any time, but maintain that the first
steps toward an accounting should be
the return by Mr.. Dodd of the stock
book. which they allege he took sur
reptitiously from the office.

IDAHO F|END GUILTY Of FOUL CRIME
Ed Suttles Convicted at Albion, Idaho,
of Debauching Young Girl
of Seventeen.

BOISE CITY, Feb. 16-Sherif
Moseley yesterday returned from AL
bion where he attended the trial as a
witness for the state, of Ed Suttles,
charged with rape. Suttles was con-
victed but sentence had not been i'm
posed when the sheriff left for home
The charge was preferred by Miss
Ruth Hudson, aged II, and she, with
her child, was the principal witness
against the man. 1t will be remem-
bered that Suttles was once tried in
Ada county on a similar charge, his
daughter, Nellie, being the complain
ing witness.
The jury then found him guilty, not
withstanding the fact that the daugh-
ter, when on the stand, went back on
her original confession and denied that
he was guilty of the charge. Judge
Stewart set aside the verdict on the
grounds that sufficient evidence to
convict had not been introduced and
remanded Suttles to the care of the
sheriff pending a new trial. On motion
of the prosecutor, Suttles was finally
released, no new evidence being at that
time forthcoming.

0. R. & n. Company viii Let All
ia panese and Chinese Go.
As LABoRERs ON sEGTIoN WORK
THE PREFERENCE OVER
OTHER APPLICANTS.

According to a report that comes
from Portland, if the plans of the O.
r. & ~ officials are carried out every
Japanese and Chinese laborer on the
tracks of that system will be replaced
with a white man as rapidly as suit
able white laborers can be secured.
There are 1000 laborers on the
tracks of the system, including all it's
branches, and in very few places are
white men now employed. Japanese
are in the majority on the sections.
while few white men are worked in
extra gangs doing special track work.
White men with families will be en-
ployed, it is said, wherever possible
and thus a permanent class of track
men will be encouraged to settle per-
manently and remain in the employ of
the company.
1t is said that the officials nave pre-
ferred white men all along If such
could have been secured in the past,
but owing to the shiftless character
of the men who applied for this class
of labor and the uncertainty of them
with the position, the COM
pany was forced to employ foreigners
who would stick to their jobs.
If white men are employed it will
mean the construction of many new
living quarters and dwellings along
the line, as the present bunk houses
are not suitable for the accommoda-
ton of families.

BUILD IN THE JOHN DAY VALLEY
o. r. & N. Company File Articles Of
Incorporation for Another Branch
Railroad Line.

For the purpose of running a line
along the John Day river from John
Day station, to determine the feasibil-
ity for a road south along that water
way, the O. r. & n. has incorporated

N. already has the Condor branch,

QUAkEs IN COPPER COUNTRY.
Series Of Shocks Shake Large Build
ings and Cause Alarm

CALUMET, Mich, Feb. 16.-The
entire Lake Superior copper country
experienced several earthquakes early
today. They occurred between and
6 o'clock and there were three very
distinct. The last one was the most
severe and shook the largest build
ings.
While some persons believe that the
shocks We're caused by the abandoned
workings caving in at some of the
mines inquiry fails to reveal any dis
aster at any property in the district
Several air blasts have occurred in
the past two weeks at the Quincy
mine, but today's shocks were so pro-
nounced and felt through such a wide
territory that it is not possible they
were caused by air blasts. A year
and a half ago the upper peninsula
experienced a heavy earthquake shock.
Chimneys were wrecked and consider
able damage resulted.

WARS ON white PLAGUE.
Bars Raised to Aliens Who Seel
Health in This Country.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-The authorities
of New Zealand are determined to
stamp out consumption in that colony.
Many intended settlers who sailed for
that section recently have been re-
turned to England On the ground that
they are suffering from tuberculosis.
One of these intended settlers had sold
his business in Bradford, and had emil
grated to New Zealand in the hope
that the climate would cure him. 1t
is claimed that the medical authorities
only subject immigrants to a super
fetal examination before leaving, while
the authorities of New Zealand insist
upon a thorough test. In the desire
to keep it's people immune from dis
ease the New Zealand government ex-
cludes emigrants Of any nationality
suffering from mental affections, or
contagious diseases of a dangerous ma
ture, and the authorizes are especially
severe in the matter of diseases of
the lungs. So far has public senti-
ment carried the government in mat
tiers of this sort that laws will be
passed prohibiting the marriage of
consumptives under severe penalties.
II is said to be the desire of the
New Zealand government to nave that
colony known as the land without con-
sumption.

YAKIMA SHEEPMEN DOING WELL
Five Dollars a Head Is No Uncommon
Price-WooI Market Show
ing Up Strongly. -

NORTH YAKIMA, Feb. 16.-The
sheepmen Of the Yakima Valley have
done exceedingly we'll this winter and
the sales made show excellent profits
A recent sale of 1900 bred ewes at s.
a head is an indication of the present
local prices. This was made by For
rest Wenner, who sold to Axel Taylor
at the above figures. This bunch of
sheep was not heavily wooded and for
that reason the price was not a high
one.
Dan Goodman, the we'll known sheep
raiser of this valley, says that bred
ewes in Oregon bring as high as Sc a
head and that some sheepmen hold
for a still higher price.
J. c. Lloyd, one of the best posted
sneepmen in Kittitas county. says the
present high prices will continue
throughout the year in view of the
fact that every indication points to
strong wool market and the demand
for mutton throughout the country is
forever on the INCREASE.
Peter Ager also sold $500 wether
lambs at $4.75, a head, one of the low
est sales Of the year.

AMERICA is LOSER IN DEAL.
Fails to Secure Contract to Build
Lines in Siberia.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 1O-In on
official communication the car has
approved the decis' on of the cabinet
to decline the American propositions
to build the Tashkent and Tomsk rail-
roads in Siberia.
According to the highest authority,
this outcome of the negotiations is due
to the fact that the Americans wanted
a grant Of thirty miles On each side
of the roads and the unwiilingness of
the government to permit Americans
to own large territories in Siberia.
1t is said, however, that an American
commercial invasion, especially of Eu-
ropean Russia, would be welcomed.

Conditional Successors.
When the Alabama legislature meets
next winter it will elect conditional
successors both to Senators Morgan
and Pettus, owing to its sessions be-
ing held quadrennially. Both, if they
live, will be reelected without OPP
position.
Senator Morgan's present term ex-

tus in 1909 Senator Morgan, who has
been in the senate since 1877, and is
nanked only by Senator Allison of
Iowa in length of service, will be 50
years old in June. Senator Pettus will
be IS in July.
Fearing that neither of the senators
will live to complete his full term, the

maries for next August, has provided
for the nomination of alternates by
direct vote, who shall be named for the
senate by the governor of the state
when vacancies occur. There is a
