MANY COAL LAND ENTRIES.
Yakima Land Office Receives S2S, $50
in Filing Fees.

The sum of $2S,6S0.60 was paid to
the United States land office in this
city yesterday by Yakima people who
made final proof at that time on
coal lands in the Cowlitz Pass cover
ing an area of several sections, says
the Yakima Republic. The surveyed
line of the North Coast railroad ira
verses this entire mining district. the
western part of the region being only
2S miles from the present terminus
of the Tacoma Eastern railroad. The
district is only 45 miles from North
Yakima. Eighteen claims were prov
el up.
The manner of exploring and de-
veloping the prospects in this coal re-
gion, until no possible doubt remains
of the fact that 1t is one of the most
extensive anthracite districts on the
Pacific coast is probably an old story;
and yet so little have the interested
parties said about their promise of
reward in the development
of this wonderful part of the coal
area that the greater part of the story
to be told. The character of
the narrative may be anticipated by
the extent of the record made in the
land office in this last transaction.

SECOND NATIONAL ASSEM-

Secretary Taft Conveyed the Greet
ings of the American People i'm an
Able Address-NIiIitary and Naval
Officers Present In Large Numbers
-Flliplnos Making Excellent Pro-
grcss I'm the Art of Self Govern
ment

Manila, Oct 16.-The second great
step in the plans of the American
government to make the Filipinos
self-governing was taken today when
the representatives chosen at the first
insular elections held last month
gathered in the capital for the open
ing of the national assembly. The
presence of Secretary of War Taft
and his address conveying the senti-
ments of the American people added
to the Importance of the occasion.
The Inauguration of the assembly
took place in the opera house and was
attended with military and civic dis
play. The auditorium, which is the
largest in Manila, was thronged with
hundreds of citizens of all classes, in
addition to the membership of the
assembly.
In the audience were many army
and navy officials, consular officers
and others whose uniforms added
brilllancy to the impressive scenes.
The ceremonies were opened with an
invocation by Archbishop Harty.
Governor General Smith then took
the chair and after few brief re-
marks introduced Secretary Taft, who
delivered the principal address of the
occasion. The secretary OF war was
given an enthusiastic reception and
his address was loudly applauded.

NEW ALASKAN MINERAL.
Minerologists Cannot Determine Up.
on Its Classification.

Seattle, Oct. ia recent dlscov-
cry 125 miles below Rampant on the
Yukon has aroused intense interest
In the north. James Langford, a
Rampant pioneer, has found a vein
OF mineral Of the consistency Of chalk
and of an indigo blue in color. 1t
can be used as ordinary chalk. None
OF the Alaskan minerologists can
identify 1t and 1t is being sent to Sc
attic for analysis.
There are now in Alaska probably
dozen unidentified specimens Of
minerals and one Of the many bene-
fits to Alaska and Yukon of the
Alaska -Yukon-Pacific exposition,
which will be held at Seattle In 1909,
will be the assembling and classifying
Of these now unknown specimens.
In many cases the owners of the
veins OF unidentified mineral believe
that they stand a chance Of winning
great wealth as their find may be
some hitherto undiscovered combina-
tion. AS original research work will
go on all the time the exposition is
In progress one OF the first duties
Of the savants in charge OF this
branch will be the identifying Of
these unknown elements or combina-
tions, and the adapting of them to
some commercial purpose,

CONGESTION
At PORTLAND
GIVEN AS REASON FOR
GRAIN EMBARGO BY o. r.. & N
First Admission by Northwestern
RhilrOad That Facilities Are In
adequate to Handle Crops-O. r.
& n. Will Receive Shipments of
Grain for Only Four Portland
Companies-Other Companies Vi
tally Affected by the Ruling.

What is practically an embargo
upon all grain shipments from the
inland empire, excepting to -four
Portland concerns, has been issued
by the o. R. & N. company on ac-
count of the congestion of grain at
Portland wharves.
In a notice to all conductors and
station agents the company gives ex-
plicit instructions that no cars be
spotted" nor shipments of wheat
or barley received for any grain ship
ping companies, except the Pacific
coast Elevator company, Portland
Flour Milling company, The Kerr
Clifford company and Albers Broth
ers of Portland, and states as a rea-
son for the order that the tracks are
crowded with unloaded cars and the
wharves and docks are congested with
shipments which cannot be moved.
This is one of the first admissions
on part of railroad company in the
northwest that the traffic of the
country is outgrowing the facilities
and will perhaps stimulate efforts to-
ward securing more cars, more rail-
roads and more boat lines.
Thousands of tons of wheat and
barley are now stored in the ware
houses of the northwest awaiting
shipment and while the four compa-
nies mention in the order will handle
the bulk of this traffic, yet other
will be vitality affected.

Willard Brown, late bookkeeper
for the Garden City Packing COM
pany, is now proclaimed an embez-
zler and a warrant for. his arrest "a
now with Sheriff Taylor. For sew
eral days past the officers have DeeI
looking for Brown, though the fact
has not been generally known, and
net is now spread that will likely
result in his capture.
According to the butcher shop
people the exact amount Of Browns
shortage is not known. But it is
said to amount to several hundred
dollars and may reach half thou
sand.
Brown had been employed as
bookkeeper by Reynold Harras, man
ager of the shop, for the past two
months. Last Thursday he left town.
and since then it has been discovered,
so 1t is said, that he had sadly Jug
<gieA with the funds IN his charge
before leaving.
Before going to work for the Gar
den City company Brown had been
for a time night clerk at the Hotel
Pendleton. Personally he was slight
ly under medium size and was Of n
good appearance. But little seems to
be known of his life before' his ar
rival in Pendleton.
The fugitive is married man, but
when he left here last week his wife
did not accompany him. However,
she is said to have left town subse-
quently and may be with him at this
time.

EASTERN OREGON DIOCESE IS CREATED

The Episcopal diocese of eastern
Oregon has just been created by the
general convention of the Episcopal
church now in session at Richmond
and missionary bishop for this dio-
cese will now be appointed by the
missionary board of the church.
Bishop Charles Scadding of Port
land, who is now bishop of all Ore
gon. presented the request Of the
eastern Oregon parishes for a sepa-
rate diocese and after considering
the immense size of the state and
enormous mileage to be travelled by
one bishop in covering the entire state
the convention granted the request
and created the diocese of eastern
Oregon.
The missionary board of the Epis-
copal church will appoint the bishop
and after he looks over the field per-
sonally he will decide upon loca-

RAINIER SALOON CLOSED.
With Nearly $4,000 Indebtedness Re-
sort Was Closed by Sheriff.

With total indebtedness of
1882 standing against it, the Rainier
Beer Hall, owned by James A. Sny-
der, was closed by the sheriff this
morning. The Indebtedness is to the
Seattle Brewing & Mailing company
and is for liquors supplied to the To-
cal saloon. The debt was covered
by a chattel mortgage which was
foreclosed.
During the past year or more Mr..
Snyder has conducted a wholesale
beer business here and backed sever
al different saloons that failed to
prove financial successes. For sew
eral months past Mr.. Snyder has
been travelling salesman for a whole
sale liquor house, but is now in the
city.

tion for the bishopric and headquar-
ters, which 1t is now universally be-
lieved will be located at Pendleton.
The creation OF the new diocese
also means the increased allowance
of missionary funds for eastern Ore
gonian and a vigorous and energetic
era of evangilzation and upbuilding
for the Episcopal church In this Sec
tion as well as the erection of a large
and costly cathedral at the headquar-
ters Of the diocese.
There is general rejoicing among
members of the church in eastern
Oregon over the success of their ef-
forts, as it has been desired for sew
eral years that separate bishop be
placed over this part of the state,
since it has been impossible for one
bishop to cover the state adequately
or with satisfaction either to himself
or to the church.

FIGHTING TO EvADE PAYMENT
Four Packing Concerns Submit Briefs
In Rate Cases.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Roosevelt's
rate policies come up before the SUI
preme court today, when briefs were
submitted on petitions. for writs of
certiorari, whereby four packing
concerns hope to evade the payment
of fines for accepting concessions
from the railroads, on export meat
shipments.
The department OF justice is fight
ing the writs on the grounds that a
favorable decision would take the en-
tire field of foreign commerce from
the interstate commerce commission,
leaving the roads free to grant re-
bates and continue discrimination.
The packers claim that the Elkins
law is unconstitutional.

SAWYER WILL APPEAL.
Monee's Slayer VIII Seek New Trial

That the Sawyer case will be ap-

nounced today by W. c. E. Pruitt,
attorney for Sawyer. However, no
writ OF probable cause will be asked
for and Sawyer will go to the peni-
tentiary while his case is pending in
the supreme court.
At his recent trial Sawyer was con-
victed of manslaughter and was sem
fenced to Is years in the peniten-

granted a new trial he could not be
convicted of a greater crime than
manslaughter and as he is already
under the maximum sentence for
that offense he has 'all to gain and

BIBLE FOR CIRCUIT COURT.
Juror Would Have Brethren Read
Good Book During Trials.

This morning a copy of the Bible
was presented to the circuit court
by R. E. Stewart, one of the jurors
who has been in attendance during
the present criminal session. The
book is an illustrated edition and on
the fly leaf bears the inscriptions:
ITO the circuit court and jury
room. from ]. E. Stewart"
Just why the presentation was
made has not been learned, but in
view of the tales of depravity to
which the court and jurors have lis
tened lately it is fitting that the good
book should be on hand for the pur-
pose of maintaining a moral balance
