Reports from outside towns show
the mills have been closed irrespective
of membership In either the shingle
bureau or strike insurance fund, ana
that in the state about 5000 men
are out. In the same centers local
conditions entirely have caused the
strike. This is true where the men
had grievance against their en-

general strike to carry the movement
outside the bureau mills.
Two of the three Bellingham CON-

'BLED TO DEATH FROM THE NOSE
Distressing Fate OF an Italian Rail.
roatler al Lewiston.

After bleeding at the nose almost
continuously for a period of 10 days.
John Tortoelli, an italian 1aborer 25
years of age, became so weak that he
died at noon yesterday in the st.
Joseph's hospital, says the Lewiston
Tribune. The physicians made every
effort to relieve the young man and
when they succeeded in stopping the
flow from the nose, the bleeding be-
came internal and then spread over
the lungs. Death from nose bleed is
a rare occurrence and the physicians
were baffled in combating the slow
but gradual loss.
Tortoelli came here from Seattle
four months ago and has been en-
ployed on Contractor lie Doux's con-
struction force in the first camp out
of Lewiston on the Riparia branch
railroad. The bleeding started while
he was at work and as the remedies
at hand proved Intellectual he came
at once to the hospital. His parents
live in Italy, but he has a brother-in-
law. Nicola Gioia, residing in 60
attle. Both have been notified of his
death.

AND UNFA|RNESS
ALLEGED BY THE STATE
RAILWAY COMMISSION
The Railroads of the State of WASH
ington Are the Defendants and Are
Accused of Giving Portland Better
Rates Than Sound Points. and I'm
fair Rates in Territory in Which
They Have No Competition-Hear-
ing at Colfax.

Perhaps what is the greatest legal
battle in the history of the state of
Washington, is now in progress at
ColfaN. between the state railroad
commission and the railroad systems
of the state as defendants.
The commission has charged that
the railroads have Disseminated
against sound cities in favor of Port.
lanf, and that unfair rates in non-
competitive territory have been main-
tanned.
The railroads have the best legal
talent available to defend their case
and win make every effort to over
throw the commission and thus create
prejudice against it in Washington
and other states which may have such
a commission in view.
The commission is acting within the
law which gives it power to fix max
lmum railroad rates and also to regu-
late rates and have jurisdiction over
common carriers within the state of
Washington. The commission Is sim
ply endeavoring to get a fair and Just
rate on farm produce from every
point in the state alike. whether there
is competition in the territory or not.
The commission does not believe
that because there is but one railroad
into q town, that rates should be
higher there than If there were two
or more roads into the town.
The battle will be watched with in
terest throughout the country.

IvENs EXPIATEs CRIME
Hung for Murder or Mrs. Bessie
lister, In Chicago.

Chicago, June 22.-Richard G..
Ivens, convicted of the murder of Mrs.
Bessie Hollister on January ~, of this
year, was executed by hanging in the
county jail this noon. The crime for
which Ivens was executed, was one of
the most atrocious attacks upon wo-
men in the police history of Chicago.
On the evening of January 12 Ivens
was standing at Belden avenue and
an alley near Lincoln avenue, when
Mrs. Hollister came by. He accosted
her, pursued her half way across
Burling street, muffled her outcries
by holding a hand over her mouth
and nose, dragged her into a dark
ward at the rear of his fathers car
penter shop. There he fiendishly as
saulted her and murdered her by
twisting copper wire around her
throat The body was found the next
morning, half hidden under pile of
rubbish, in the lot.

Umatilla county farmers who have
organized the Inland Empire Wheat
growers association, will take up the
matter Of starting a jute mill in the
Oregon penitentiary for the purpose
of furnishing Oregon farmers and
Oregon stockmen with graf nand wool
sacks at reasonable prices.
With this in view a persistent cam
paign for jute mill will be started.
Oregon legislators will be enlisted and
public sentiment will be aroused to.
the practicability of the scheme. The
exorbitant prices of sacks this sea-
| son has caused farmers to think about
self-protection, and the state jute mill
is the only practical solution of the
| question.
The state of Washington has a lutte
mill at the Walla walla penitentiary,
costing $4,000 with a capacity of
$500 sacks per day of 10 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 s65 per 1000, or
6 Z cents each, but this year on ac-
count of a slight increase in the cost
of the raw jute the price was advance
ed to sS5 per 1000, or $40 less than
the regular market price of sacks in
Pendleton and Walla walla.
The Walla Walla plant furnishes
employment for 100 convicts at a fair
profit to the state and after paying
all expenses the mill pays good in
terest on the investment besides furr-
ishing Washington farmers with grain
sacks at 2 cents belrw 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
a model for some radical legislation
