spiracv among the reactionaries to
oppose Witte by melting a counter
revolution, is discovered. Witte, at
today's cabinet meeting. insisted upon
the suppression of the BLACK Humid
red"
The conspiritors include Trepoff,
Vonderlaunitz. Durnovo and others of
the highest officials.
The plan of the reactionaries is to
provoke riots and Jewish massacres
in order to justify to the czar the ne
cessity of still more repressive meas
ures and set at naught the liberal
manifesto of October.
Whites opponents in the cabinet
control the governors general
throughout the empire, and through
them the soldiers.
In the meantime the proletariat are
organizing another general strike, and
an outbreak about Easter seems cer-
tain.

Salem. March 14,-The state IL
brary commission has let the contract
to the j. *. Gill company of Port
land to furnish the books which are
to be bought for school libraries with
the county tax raised for that pur-
pose. BY reason of receiving bids for
the entire book supply, which involves
an expenditure of about s15,O they
have been enabled to make very ad-
vantageous terms and will obtain the
books at S3 per cent less than ever
paid before. Aside from the advan-
tage of systematic selection and clas-
sification, the money saving makes an
important item.

and his deputy were busy at the CO.
lumbia. Those found engaged in
games were AL Presby, H. Aldrich,
Warner, William Wambaugh, Steve
Noble, A. B. Stephens, G. S. Miller
and ]. NJ. Parker. w. F. Dorothy was
held as a witness.
Game Over Foster e. McIntOsh's.
After finishing with the Rainier
people Messrs. Sheer and Brown pro-
ceeded to the Exchange saloon on
Court street, where they believed a
game was in progress. They were re-
warded by finding the following in Il
game overhead the saloon John
Skogland, F. r. Moran, Lester Swag-
gart, w. o. Rust and Wesley Noble.
After the census had been taken the
five named were notified to appear in
court this morning.
Other Places Warned.
While the Exchange was being visit
ed by Messrs. Sheer and Brown Mar
shal Gurdane and Deputy Heathman
devoted their time to inspecting the
State saloon and Baker & Oggs. How
ever, these places had evidently been
warned by phone of what was afoot,
for there was nothing doing when
the officers entered. Consequently
no arrests were made.
Raid Highly Successful.
That the raid was we'll timed and
executed is shown by the manner in
which the sports were taken by sur
prise. Evidently the whole proceed
ing came to them as a storm from a
clear sky, as operations were found
in full blast at four of the six places
visited. While in the various places
the officers forbade anyone leaving
the room or using the telephone, SO
that no warning could be given. The
six places visited were those in
which games were known to have
been running, and the officers declare
that II there are others they cannot
find them.
Today 1t has been stated by Mar
| shall Gurdane and Mayor Fee that
gamblers will be arrested whenever
and wherever found playing. Appar-
emily the game were allowed to get
under way during the past few days
so that good haul could be made
when the raid was held. Now that
| the ice is broken, It is declared gam
bling will be kept down as closely as
in the power of the police to do so.
According to the mayor It is not the
intention to make periodical raids
for the purpose of filming the gamblers
but instead, to prevent gambling.
In carrying out the policy of sup
preston Marshal Gurdane today noti-
fled all the places where there has
been gambling that the galleries in
the rear of the saloons will henceforth
have to be left open or torn out. This
is to aid the police in locating games,
and prevent warning being given
when a raid is on. With the doors
of the galleries locked and guards
posted it would be impossible for the
police to find a game in actual oper-
alton, as the playing would cease on
the approach of the officers. Accord
ing to the marshal the saloon men
have manifested no resentment over
the order to open the galleries, and
say they will comply.

Sudden Change In Morrow.

Suuuen tnhnSe III MOffOW.
Morrow county had prepared for
spring and the storm found all classes
of people wholly unprepared for the
sudden change. A report from Hepp-
ner says:
Morrow county is now experience
ing the coolest weather of the sea-
son. The middle part of the past
week was warm, with every indica-
tion of spring. Saturday the change
came suddenly, and Saturday night
the thermometer dropped almost to
the zero mark. The change was so
sudden that no precaution was taken.
and frozen water pipes are reported
from all over town.
Snow has been falling at inter-
walls for the past "a hours. In the
Sand Hollow country a snowfall of
eight inches is reported. In other
parts of the county the snow is from
four to six inches in depth. At Hepp-
ner 1t is two inches deep and still
showing
THE people here do not feel at all
alarmed over the results of the un-
usual storm. Stock interests are we'll
protected. Sheep and cattle men
generally have plenty of feed to car
ry them through for reasonable
length of time. The worst feature is
the fact that the lambing season is
almost here, and, should the cold
| weather continue, losses are likely to
be the result.
''The heavy fall of snow is redeem
ing feature of the storm. In the
wheat belt the ground is well covered
which will be a great protection to
the growing grain. 1t is the general
| opinion that grain has not been ma
terially injured, owing to the protec-
tion of the snow.
Early fruit in the lower attitudes
will be killed. Early this morning
the thermometer stood at zero.
