WANT
JUTE
MILL
Farmers In Eastern Oregon
Will Advocate the State
Making Grain Sacks

Umatilla county farmers who have
organized the lstland Bmpire Wheat
6rowers' association viii take up the
matter of starting jute mill in the
Oregon penitsntiary for the purpose
Of furnishing Oregon farmers and
Oregon stockmen with grain and wool
sacks at reasonable prices.
With this in view persistent cam.
paign for q jute mill will be started.
Oregon legislators will be enlisted and
public sentiment will be aroused to
the practfcabilby of the scheme. The
eSorbitanb prices of sacks this season
has caused farmers 10 think about
self protection, and the state jute min
is the only practical solution of the
question.
The state of Washington has q jute
mill at the Walha Walla penitentiary
costing $4,000, with a capacity of
$500 sacks per day of ten hours. The
raw jute comes from Calcutta, India,
and before this year the sacks from
the state mill have been sold TO Wash
ington farmers at $65 per 1000, or 6ls
cents each. but this year, on account Of
a slight increase in the cost of the raw
iute, tHs price was advanced TO $50
per 1000, or $50 less than the regular
ma-beTu price of sacks in Pendleton
and Walla Walla.
The Walla Walla plant furnishes em-
ployment for one hundred conviets at
a fair profit to the state and after pay.
ing all expenses the mill pays good in
teresb on the investment besides furn-
ishing Washington farmers with grain
sacks at two cents below market price.
The farmers and taxpayers Of Wash
ington are we'll pleased with the jute
mill of that state and Oregon farm
ers will take the Washington plant as
modhl for some radical legislation
next session of the Oregon legislature.

John Weber Sent to Washington
Prison for Eight Years.

John G.. Weber, of Spokane,
Wash, 81 years of age, regarded by
officers of the United States secret
service to be the most skillful maker
of spurious coin in the country, has
just been sentenced to serve eight
years in the McNeilrs island federal
penitentiary of Washington. Federal
Judge Hanford also fined tho veteran
counterfeiter $40 and cos Of the
trial.
Weber was arrested by Capt. Bell
in the Sound country last February,
when western Washington was being
flooded with base coin. Secret service
officers who searched his room found
$1,000 in bogus 50-cent coins and two
trunks filled with apparatus and met
ais for turning out the pieces.
Weber is broken in health, having
served a term in the penitentiary in
Idaho for counterfeiting. and 1t is not
believed he will leave the federal in
stitution alive.

BUYS MORE LAND.
The Great Northern Railway Company

The Great Northern Railway COM

real estate at Sioux Falls this week,
buying five acres of and etween
Eighth and Tenth streets, across the
river on the east side. 1t now owns
five hundred feet frontage on Eighth
street adjoining its right Of way on
the east. The price paid for the new
land acquired was about $4,000.
What the Great Northern will do
with the land is not definitely known,
or at least is not made public. 1t is
surmised, however, thai the company
will use 1t for additional trackage
room and other purposes connected
with its growing business in the Queen
City. One report is to h effect that
the frontage gained or Eighth street
may be utilized by the erection of
buildings for business purposes. The
location is a desirable one and will
probably be made good use Of.

quiry for rooms, they were informed
that only one room was available, but
that 1t had two beds. The quartet held

A TO MOVE ARMY.

Plans Cor the transfer of troops
from the United States to Cuba I'm the
event Of the failure of Secretary
Taft's mission to bring about a peace
full solution Of the trouble in the ISL
n republic nave been completed.
The final step was taken Tuesday
according to an announcement made
when the transport Sumner, now lying
at the New Yasx navy yard, was put
in commission. The Sumner Is in
readiness for the immediate embarka-
ton of troops.
Negotiations are already under way
for the acquisition Of merchant steam
ers to be used as transports.
That the ven of Tuesday as told
in the press dispatches have FASTENED
plans which have been long in prepar-
alton seems apparent. Additional
warships will reach Cuba within a few
days and will be ready to land marines
If necessary long before the regular
troops, now awaiting orders, can be
moved. Should armed intervention
come these forces will undoubtedly
loTm the or the
army.
Secretary Taft has not yet given up
hope Of bringing abOut a settlement
of the difficulties between the Cuban
government and the insurgents with
out resorting to armed intervention.
The advices from Cuba which have
been received at the executive offices
up to Tuesday night, according to AS
sistant Secretary Latta, are by no
means as pessimistic as the
reports which came from Havana
Tuesday.
1t appear to be the opinion that
Secretary Taft still believes that peace
may be the outcome, in spite of all the
difficulties which have arisen.

LOVE MOTIVE FOR CRIME.
Indian Nurse Girl Who Feared Sep
aration from Child Murders 1t.

A strange story Of murder, prompt
ed by affection that could not bear
separation, has been revealed near
Brewster, n. Y, through the confess
sion of Jennie Burch, an Indian nurse,
aged IA.
1t appears a series of incendiary
fires have occurred at Cowles Cor
ners, twelve miles from Brewster, and
suspicion fell on the Indian girl. She
repealed the suspicious vigorously.
Last Friday the girls infant charge,
Wilbur Winship, 2a years old, was
suddenly stricken with illness and
soon died. An investigation developed
that the child had been given a poi
soned peach. The nurse girl was su-
pected. Sunday, just before the child's
burial, the girl was brought into the
room where the body of the little one
lay. When she saw the coffin she
threw herself on the coffin and cried,
Il killed him! 1 poisoned him." at
er when she grew calmer she admit
ted, acting under an uncomfortable
impulse, she la caused the incen-
diary fires. She knew she was sus-
pected, and, thinking she would have
to die for the crime, she poisoned the
little boy, whom she loved so, that he
might go with her.

MYSTERY NEVER SOLVED.
Echo of Disappearance of Former Da-
kOtan In Fresno.

h appointment of John D.. AVN
as administration Of the estate Of the
late Henry e. Christopher, of Fresno,
Cal, and formerly of Aberdeen and
Columbia. S. D., recalls the mystery
surrounding the disappearance of Mr..
Christopher in Fresno eight years ago.
In former days he lived at Aberdeen,
acquired considerable property in
Brown county and became very we'll
known. About ten years g he took
his family from Aberdeen and settled
in Fresno, Cal. where he proved sue
cessful and accumulated a great deal
Of property. One day about eight years
ago he started out on q bicycle TO get
some exercise. That was the last his
friends ever saw of him. The idea of
suicide was never entertained, az his
health was good, his finances in excel
lent shape and his family life ideal.
1t is generally believed that on his
way back from the ride he stopped in
Chinatown and was murdered for his
money, of which he had a consider
able on his person. Search was in
stituted, but nothing ever came Of it
Even the body was never found. Pro-
bate proceedings have been started
but recently in Fresno and Aberdeen.
