The Oregon Daily Journal says of
at different points on the o. r. & N:
One of the best signs of the rapid
clearing of the financial situation is
said to be the ordering of resumption
of work on railroad projects that were
abandoned in the Pacific northwest
two weeks ago. The Hartman COM
panies have ordered work resumed in
a number of places on new construc-
ton, and forces are being organized.
Work will be resumed Immediately
on the Ilwaco extension, the Pendle-
ton-Pilot Rock branch, the Lewiston
bridge and the Coburg bridge. 1t is
said the Hartman companies will
soon gradually resume work all along
the lines of extension and improve
ment laid out before the financial
stringency began.
1t is reported from Tacoma that j.
d. Farrell, general manager of the
Oregon & Washington railroad, the
Hartman extension to the sound, has
given orders that bids must be let
and work commenced on the Tacoma
tunnel for that line before December
I.
Similar action is expected in the
matter Of the East Portland penin-
sula tunnel for this road. The policy
of the Hill companies in pushing con-
struction of the north bank line to
completion is having strong effect
on all other construction work in this
territory.
The plan of the Hartman compa-
nies Is to carry on their construction
work between Portland and Tacoma
at d rate that will complete this line
about the time the Columbia river
bridge of the north bank road Is
ready for traffic. The tunnels at
Portland and Tacoma for the Harri-
man extension will be the first actu-
al construction work to be started
on this line.

State BacteriOIOgiSt Hindered

NEED OF LABORATORY TO
FIGHT BUBoNIC PLAGUE
DIR. Matson Says Poorly Equipped
Laboratory Makes Fight Against
BubonIc Plague Difficult-Found
Two Rats Infected With Disease
But Feared 10 Complete Investiga-
tions-FIea Proof Cages Necessary.

Portland, Nov. S.-All proper steps
toward the scientific stamping out OF
the bubonic plague in Portland have
been delayed because OF the lack of
necessary laboratory equipments, de-
clares state Bacteriologist Dr. Ralph
Matson, who is leading the fight
against the plague in Oregon.
Yesterday DR.. Matson discovered
two rats which had every symptom
of plague, but because of the failure
of the city and state to provide prop
er equipments he was compelled to
cut the examination short.
"I have no flea-proof cages" he
stated this morning, "and II l laid
open the bodies OF the infected rats
and made a prolonged examination
the fleas attracted by the flesh would
come in, become infected and then
escaping. scatter the disease through
the city"

ENGINEER is BLAMED.
Responsibility for Portland Wreck Is
Placed by o. II. & N.

AS indicated in yesterdays Tele-
gram, responsibility for the fatal col
lission at the east end of the Steel
bridge lies with the engine crew of
the o. r. & n. passenger, says the
Evening Telegram. The coroner's
Jury. after examining several wit
nesses, late yesterday afternoon, held
that Engineer George A. Ferguson,
of the eastbound train was derelict
in his duty and fixed the blame upon
him.
The inquest brought out no details
additional to the account of the ac-
cident, as printed in yesterdays Tele-
gram. District Attorney Manning has
note decided whether he will take
criminal action against Engineer
Ferguson.
Division Superintendent Campbell
of the o. r. & N, and Assistant Di-
vision Superintendent Morris, of the
Southern Pacific, conducted an nves-
tigation on behalf of the railroad
companies in Mr.. Campbefs office
last night, and it is understood the
same findings as were brought out in
the inquest were made there.

COUNCIL WILL ACCEPT IMPROVEMENTS

That the street should be left as
1t is was contended by Mr.. MUIR
ply who held that If an earth gut
ter was provided the water would
soak under the macadam, eventually
running the same. This stand has
been held continuously by City En-
gineer Geary Kimbrell, who favors
the street as II is.
AS the matter now stands the work
done by the Newports will doubtless
be accepted as soon as the remainder
of the rolling work has been finish
ed. Rolling on the two western
blocks has been retarded owing to
the frosts.
Had the plan favored by Council
man Rem been carried out 1t would
have been necessary to reassess the
property along the street In order to
pay for the additional work.

Jumped from Runaway Car.

Walla walla, Nov. S.-owen F..
Barron, the 2O-year-old son of L. B.
Barron of this city who jumped from
the top of a runaway freight car on
the n. P. yesterday afternoon and
was taken to st. Mary's hospital, is
resting much easier today and will
undoubtedly recover. His most Sc
rious injuries are scalp wounds, re-
ceived when he leaped and struck
on the roadway at Isaacs' avenue.
Railroad men claim that the car was
running at the rate of about a mile
minute when young Barron jump
ed from it, and that he escaped al
most instant death seems wonderful.
The car was derailed in the lower
Northern Pacific yards, where 1t tore
up about 40 feet of ties on the main
line.

Rewards aggregating $4,000 are
being offered by the Great North
ern, the postoffice department and
the Marine Insurance company for
the arrest and conviction of two
train robbers who held up the Great
Northern one mile west of Rondo,
Flathead county Montana, at 2;45
O'Clock on the morning of Septem-
ber IL. The two men are about the
same age, approximately 20 years,
and are common looking. They have
considerable money as a result of the
robbery and may be found hanging
about the lower classes of gambling
houses and notorious resorts. The
rewards are offered through the
Pinkerton detective agency.

EXPECT BUSY TIME.
Woolgrowers Have Lots of Business
for Discussion at The Dalles Meet


for Discussion at The Dalles Meet
ing.
A special from The Dalles says:
The Oregon Woolgrowers associa-
ton will meet in this city in annual
session November 12 and 13, and
present Indications point to a large
attendance. Several OF the wool
growers county organizations have
chosen delegates to attend the meet
ing. The sessions Of the convention
will be held in the rooms of The
Dalles Commercial club, and a COM
mittee is at work planning for the
arrangement Of a suitable program
for the entertainment of visiting del
egates. An excursion Is planned up
the river and a social evening has al
so been talked of.
Among the matters important to
the wool industry Of Oregon to be
discussed Is the federal leasing of the
public domain. Just how this Is to
be adjusted can be settled by the
stockmen Of the state II they agree on
plan. The proposition of the forest
reserve Is also one OF interest to wool
growers. The coyote pest is assum-
ing serious proportions again and
some plan Is to be discussed to lessen
these animals. Some states have pro-
posed a general poisoning law which
would allow experts to go out and
poison them within a certain district.
In Idaho this system of elimination
OF the coyote has proved quite sue
cessful.
Advisory boards for forest reserves
is another matter that will receive
the attention of the convention. Ac-
cording TO one OF the plans suggest
ed, these advisory boards would meet
with the various officials of the ma
tional forests and their recommenda-
tions would be accepted. In the
eastern division of the Blue noun
tain reserve this system has worked
out quite well during the past year.

GOOD SENSE IN SPOKANE,
Business Men Adopt Check System TO
Facilitate Business.

The Spokane Chronicle says OF the
excellent business plan adopted In
that city during the money stringen-
cy
As a means to preserve confidence
in financial affairs with doubling GUS
toners in general, members of the
Spokane Grocers' association an
nounce that the cashiers checks are
good with them, and that in point OF
value they are as readily acceptable
as the cash in hand.
This matter has been brought be-
fore the members OF the association,
has been widely discussed and the de-
cision is as announced above.
In some instances some little disen-
ton has been noticed among grocery
and vegetable producers especially.
A number of farmers who have
marketed their produce at the local
Wholesale and retail establishments.
have been given checks in payment.
These in several instances made
known, they have taken to the bank
and being unable to cash the same
have returned to the maker of the
check declaring that they were worth
less. Many of them did not under
stand the situation and no little ex-
planation was required.
The farmers produce is in great
demand all over the country at the
present time and In order to secure
them, It is necessary, members of the
association declare, to keep conf
dence along the financial lines.

At a special meeting of the coun-
ell last evening lively and extend
ed debate occurred over the PROPOSE
ton of accepting the matchmaking
work done by the Newport company
on East Court street. Yesterday af-
ternoon the councilman and the
mayor visited the macadamized dis
trict and the meeting last night was
held for the purpose of passing on
the improvement.
That the street should be left with
an earthen gutter or shoulder was
advocated by Councilman Rem,
while the opposite view was taken by
Mr.. Murphy. Mr.. Rem desired to
have the company roll the street for
the width of foot on each side of
the macadam edge, thus bringing the
earthen strip down to the macadam
grade.

Since the holiday period has been
on a quiet stiffness has prevailed
about the Umatilla county court
house. The Railways that but a few
few weeks ago were filled with wit.
nesses and jurors are now as peace
full as was Sleepy Hollow in the days
of Rip Van Wrinkle, while in the
different county offices below Off
cials and clerks seek the best meth
DDS of killing time.
No judicial business is possible
during the holidays and it has now
been many days since the bench in
the circuit room has been occupied.
Five men would be seated there now
holding a supreme court session If IL
were not for the holidays.
In the sheriffs office Sheriff Tay-
lor and his deputies have been having
rest that is welcome to them after
TIE workout they had during the
criminal session. During the past
few days Deputy Sheriff Wilson has
teen engaged IN renudelling the
rogue's gallery. Photographs are
taken of nearly all arrivals at the
jail and these pictures together with
many others that have been sent the
! office have been re-arranged in
new album. Deputy Sheriff Funk
has just returned from a visit with
friends at North Yakima.
Practically no business whatever is
now being done by the clerks office,
though the place has been kept open
regularly. No suits have been filed
since the first day of the holiday pc
riod and even the granting # mar
ritgo licenses has ceased, owing TO
the fact that the demand has sud-
denly ceased. Not a license has been
Issued since Monday, thus indicating
that the financial furry has hit
Curid. too.
County Clerk Sailing has been de-
voting his time of late to the peru
sal of a Wyoming cowboy story and
Miss Della Privetr, the stenographer,
has also turned to literature. Depu-
ty Brown has been keping busy on
one of the rolls.
The recorders office is the only
one in the court house that has been
open for busines; as usual. Upon
the advice of the district attorney,
Mr.. Hendley has continued to receive
instruments right along and the nor
ma! number of transfers and mort
cages have been recorded. How
ever, he has ceased to take checks in
payment of filing fees because he
cannot turn checks over to the treas
uTer.
County Treasurer Pradley has had
his office open also and has been
registering warrants presented for
payment. However, he has paid out
no money since the holidays were de-
clared.
In the assessors office Mr.. Strain
has been busy lately in footing the
tax roll 0nd in multiplying
all assessments oy tour in order to
bring the roll un to the actual valua-
tion. Deputy Whitman ihs now away
upon vacation.

of gold in Montana in 1868.

AFRAID OF TROUBLE.
Baker City Is Fearful of Bloodshed
EINf UnemnlOYed Men.

Last evening when the stake reach
ed Baker City 1t was learned that
fully 200 men had been employed on
the Snake river road near Copper
field were on their way to Baker
City, says the Baker City Herald. The
men are walking as they could not
get the money on their checks and
did not have the ready cash to pay
their fare here.
1t is expected that the men will
reach Baker City some time this af-
ternoon or tonight and it will take all
the rooming houses and hotels to
their capacity to provide accommoda-
tions for them. The men have checks
for the work they have done and If
they can obtain the money on them
1t is thought they will move on.
It is understood that the men have
made threats that they are coming
to Baker City for money or blood. II
they cannot obtain the money on
their checks they expect to create
trouble.

BANK SITUATION UNCHANGED.

The bank situation i'm PendletOn is
unchanged. There has been no un-
easiness shown today and money is
being received constantly. The PEN
dIeton Savings bank is still observing
the holiday proclaimed by Governor
Chamberlain and is closed, tempo
rarily. Both the First National and
Commercial National are open and
are not experiencing any Withdrawals
OF funds whatever, but instead are
receiving deposits constantly and are
encouraged and highly pleased with
the outlook for an early termination
of the striDgency.

Three depositors, dissatisfied with
the appointment of Hill as receiver,
have filed petitions with the federal
court to put the bank into involun-
tary bankruptcy.
So much of the banks best assets
are assigned to the preferred cred
itors that it looks as II the deposit
ors will suffer heavy loss.
District Attorney Manning has been
informed that the bank received de-
posits while insolvent and will in
vestigate the charges and criminal ac-
tions may be instituted.
To economize the conduct of the
affairs of the bank, Receiver Hill
discharged 70 employees last night
