That the state of Washington in
tends to appropriate money for the
improvement of the Columbia and
Snake rivers at the coming session of
the legislature is shown by the report
of Prof. W. D. Lyman, who has just
made a tour of the state in the in
terest of an open river appropriation.
Prof Lyman found great enthusi-
asm everywhere in the matter of OPEN
ing the rivers and most of the towns
of the state are taking up the matter
with a VIM The various commercial
associations are engaging in an act
i've campaign for an open river and
there is every probability that the ap-
preparation of 100000 asked by Walla
Walla for river improvement will be
passed. The Walla Walla Union, in
spe eaking Of the subject, says:
Prof. w. D. Lyman, of Whitman
college, who has been touring the
counties of eastern Washington for
the purpose of interesting residents
and legislators in the open river move
ment and the proposed appropriation
to he secured from the next legisla-
ture, returned to Walla Walla on Mon
day evening and spent Christmas with
his family.
Mr.. Lyman reports that interest
and enthusiasm in the matter run high
at all Of the places visited by him,
and that nowhere on his route has he
met with any opposition. This is per-
haps accounted for by the fact that
ne confined his travels to those coun-
ties which will derive great and direct
benefits through the opening of the
Columbia. and did not, as he express
ed it, center the enemy's territory"
Vancouver and Kalama were the
first points visited by Mr.. Lyman, at
which places he interviewed all of the,
principal business men and the COM
mercial bodies. In this section of the
state residents are very enthusiastic
over the proposed improvements to
the river, as they are expecting mani
fold benefits and accompanying in
crease in population through the sue
cess of the project.
The 1Orth hank road will also do,
much for this section, but residents,
who arc highly elated over the build
ing of the railroad, will not be willing
to give up the open river which will
do more for them than any railway
could or would do.
The Commercial club of Ellensburg
showed a willingness to cooperate
with the local club in securing the
epprop!iation. and members OF the
legislature from that section have sig
nified their willingness to support the
bill calling for 100000. People in
Kittitas county are also much inter-
ested in railroad building. much Of
vii ich is being done there, but feel
that the open river is the one thing
which that section has for years been
IN need of, and it now looks as though
their long cherished dream is to be
realized.

New Orleans, Dec. ga Malta
plot working secretly in New Orleans
for years is regarded responsible for
the death of six Italians found mur-
dered this morning in tenement
house in Dumaine street. Some were
burned to death.
Such a panic in the italian quarter
followed the discovery of the bodies
that the police reserves were forced
to call upon the firemen for assist
ance in maintaining order.
The victims were hacked to pieces,
and 1t is believed were killed early in
the evening. AS no screams were
hard it is thought several were en-
gagged in the slaughter and the men
were struck down unawares. Those
burned were probably burned after
death in an effort to hide the crime.

FREE CHRISTMAS FIGHT.
Great Celebration I'm Seattle Tender
loin District.

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 26.-Following
a day of debauchery in the restricted
district. the police last night were
compelled to engage in a hand-to-
hand conflict with a mob of intoxi-
Gated loggers. When the fight was
over IL men were under arrest for
resisting the officers. Clubs, revoh =
ers, stones and brickbats were freely
used in the encounter, and the bruises
were many.
The trouble began when the police
attempted to arrest a logger on Wash
ington street. The man resisted and
yelled: Help! Help! Down with the
police; kill the bulls" In a moment
every saloon in the neighborhood re-
sponded to the call and the toughest
characters in the city were rushing
to the rescue. In the meantime addt-
tional police arrived, a citizen tele-
phoned to the police station for ener-
gency help, and Chief Wappenstein
sent a patrol wagon full of officers.
1t required three trips of the wagon
to carry the arrested men to the sta
ton.

One Korean section hand is now
receiving treatment at Walla Walla,
and one section foreman passed the
night in the county Jail as the result
of little Christmas fight at Mission
yesterday afternoon. The man from
Korea was smote upon the head with
wrench welded by the foreman, and
II is not yet known whether the in
jured one win pass into the celestial
beyond or remain to continue his
services for the o. r. & n. company.
As far as can be learned the fight
occurred some time late yesterday
afternoon and the news first became
known through the foreman himself,
whose name is Huseby, He walked
to town after the affair was over and
says he was forced to come afoot
because the Japs broke his speeder
so that It could not be used. During
the evening he attempted to drown
his troubles by getting drunk. But
as he proceeded to imbibe, the fight
began to assume greater proportions
than ever. and he was soon telling Of
the same to the gang within the Hem
dence he disclosed the fact that he
had shot a Jap, killing him so dead
that his victim was already commun-
ing with his Korean ancestry.
, Taking the story at its full worth
the bartender at the saloon called Of
ficer Hi Waters to the scene. To the
officer the foreman again related his
experience, though he was somewhat
confused as to the details. though he
still held that he had shot his man.
Accordingly he was taken to the coun-
ty Jail for the night.
This morning Mr.. Huseby told a
less narrowing story than that OF last
night. He said the Korean had at
tackled him because he had discharged
a couple OF his friends, and that he
had used the wrench in self-defense.
As no evidence to the contrary was
forthcoming and no complaint had
been made against Huseby he was al
lowed to return to his work.
The Jap was taken to Walla Walla
on the II o'clock train this forenoon,
and he will be treated in the hospital
at that place. His countrymen are
afraid he will die.

LEPKosY ON THE INCREASE.
Cape Colony Finds the Disease Diff
cult Problem.

London. Dec. 26.-Reports from
Cape Town today show that leprosy
IS largely on the increase. The med
ical officer for Cape Colony reports
"the leprosy repression act has now
been in force for Is years, but so far
no sensible diminution in the stream
of lepers annually coming to light has
been made by its operations At the
present time there cannot be less than
1000 lepers at large, while the nation
al leper establishments are full"
The cause Of this large number of
unsegregated lepers is the total in
adequacy Of the present asylum ac-
commodations. Although chiefly oc-
curing in the colored race. the dis
ease is not confined to them. The
sufferers appear to be scattered over
the various districts of the colany.

COPPER FAMINE is EXPECTED.
Enormous Increase i'm Demand, While
Supply is Stationary.

Boston, Mass. Dec. ga copper
famine is impending owing to the
enormous demand for the metal at
home and abroad. The price of cleo
trolylic copper is now 90 cents, the
highest for years. The United Metal
Selling company sold last month
100, 900. 900 pounds of copper The
demand is due to the great growth OF
electrical work all over the world.
Manufacturers of electrical machin-
ery say that the demand for their
products is unprecedented.
Authorities in the copper trade say
II Is doubtful If the output of copper
this year will show a material increase
over that of 1905. The scarcity Of
skilled miners has handicapped the
larger producers and consequently
has reduced production. 1t is also
likely that the Chilean production
will be materially reduced by the re-
cent earthquake. The trade is there
fore anticipating a famine and is try
ing to provide against It,

That the above suit would be filed

of the delay was that Mr.. Matlock

SADDLE THIEF
WAS ARRESTED
IN THE ACT OF DISPOSING ,
OF THE STOLEN PROPERTY.
Allen Padawah Was the Loser of the
Property-The Sherifrs Suspicious
Aroused Because a Mans Appear
ance Did Not Tally With His Bur-
hen-Saddle Was Sold 10 an Inno-
cent Purchaser for Fifteen Dollars.

A clever arrest of a saddle thief
was made here on Monday evening by
Sheriff Taylor and Deputy Blakeley,
who caught their man while in the
very act of disposing of his plunder.
Thomas O'Neal is the name of the
prisoner. and he had stolen the sad
die from Allen Padawah, the Indian.
However, neither Allen nor anyone
else knew of the fact at the time
O'Neal was arrested.
While going along Main street on
the evening mentioned the sheriff no.
ticed the Irishman carrying a saddle
along the sidewalk. The appearance
of the fellow indicated he was rail-
road laborer rather than a buckaroo,
and the Sherlock Holmes instinct of
the sheriff was aroused. Accordingly
he followed the man and when the
fellow entered the state saloon with
his riding gear the officer was close
second. Apparently a deal had al
ready been made by the bold thief,
for Immediately after entering, the
saloon he delivered the saddle to a
man named Watson, and received SIS
in return.
Just after the transaction had been
completed Sheriff Taylor broke into
the game by approaching O'Neal and
informing him that he was under ar
rest. No great objection was made
by the fellow and he is now in the
county Jail waiting for the wheels of
the law to grind out his case.
shortly after the arrest of O'Neal
it was learned that the saddle sold by
him had been stolen from the Knowl-
ton stable on Cottonwood street. and
that 1t was the property of the par
ticular Indian named in the opening
paragraph.

Salmon Decreasing i'm Fraser River.

Vancouver, r. c., Dec. 26.-Can-
ners and fishermen are genuinely
alarmed at the great falling off in the
salmon fishing on the Fraser river,
as the number taken this year is 80
per cent less than 1t was in 1902.
The total catch in 1902 was 2.94S,SSS
while that of this year was 2,01O,6O6.
It is now being admitted on all sides
that the salmon fisheries on the Fra
ser river are steadily being depleted
and 1t is the general opinion that ef-
forts should be made by the Dominion
and provincial governments for the
better preservation of this most inn
portant industry.
