CANADA PUTS UP HER POSTAGE
American Literature Is Rankly Dis
criminated Against.

The existing postal treaty between
Canada and the United States expired
by limitation at midnight tuesday,
the Dominion government having no.
titled the Washington authorities of
its desire to have the treaty abrogated.
All efforts on the part of the United
States to have the treaty renewed have
failed and Canada will put into effect
the new postal rates already decided
upon.
Second class mail matter, including
newspapers, magazines and cooks. is
the only matter that will be affected
Ey the change. On this class of mat
ter coming from the United States,
Canada will advance the rate from l
to 4 cents a pound. The effect will
be according TO all expectations that
the circulation of American newspapers
and magazines in the Dominion will
be considerably cut down. The prin-
cipal reason advanced by Canada for
the increase in rates is that the old
rates were Of far more benefit to the
United States than to Canada as the
circulation of American publications
in Canada was far in excess Of that Of
Canadian publications in the United
| States
The real cause for the change, how
ever, is probably to be found in the
loud and continued protest of Canadian
merchants that the advertisements of
American merchants in the magazines
and newspapers so freely circulated on
this side of the border resulted in TAX
ing vast sums of money out Of the
pockets of Canadians and putting 1t
into the pockets Of merchants in the
United States to the consequent loss Of
Canadian merchants.

GIVES LIFE PRISONER A HOME
Moses Taylor Intercedes With Cover
nor For Freedom of Old Man.

A little story of deep human interest
in which Moses Taylor, the pioneer
citizen of Weston, plays prominent
part, has just come to light says the
Oregonian.
While ser wing sentence in the PEN
itentiary Mr.. Taylor met and became
friend of Henry Witzingerode, of
Washington county, who was serving
life sentence for killing a man in
1880. Clutch Henry" as Witzinge-
rode was called, had served ~ years
of his sentence and was growing old
and feeble and was suffering from an
enormous goitre on his neck.
Mr.. Taylor took compassion upon
his fellow prisoner and upon Mr.. Tay-
lor s release from the penitentiary a
few days ago, he at once interceded for
Clutch Henry" promising to bring
the old German to his Weston home
for the remainder of his life if Cover
nor Cham mberlain would pardon him.
When Taylor returned to his home
north of this city Tuesday he had
Clutch Henry" with him, and for the
balance of his life the old fellow will
have good home.

Hereafter County Bridges Will
Be of This Material.

Work Crushing Rock for
Piers and Abutments.

Hereafter all bridges constructed by
the county Court of Umatilla County,
will be of steel. The spans will rest
on stone aud concrete abutments and
piers.
This is the statement made by Coun-
ty Commissioner Horace Walker, who
was in the city Wednesday from Pen
dleton. Mr.. Walker was in company
with member of the company having
the contract for putting in the new
bridge across Wild Horse creek in the
southwest part of town.
This bridge is Of steel structure.
The span will be sixty feet long. clear
ing the creek without piers and will
rest on stone and concrete abutments.
The absence of piers in the middle of
the stream will obviate all danger Of
damage from floods, for the reason
that the water will have free and un-
obstructive passage under the bridge.
it being impossible for drift wood and
other debris to collect against the
| bridge.
While here the county commissioner
partially made arrangements for crush
ed rock to be furnished by the city
plant for use in the abutment work.
The bridge company will require ahou,
% yards of crushed rock, the county
desires to purchase 80 or 40 yards ant

repair work on the streets. Chet Nc
Collough is figuring on the work ant
when the big crusher starts in. abou

and so soon as the crushed rock can b
obtained the company will be ready t
proceed with the work. Laborers ar
scarce at the present time and it ma

A VERY IMPORTANT DECISION
Holders of Allotments Amenable to
State Laws as to Courtesy
and Dover.

BY decision rendered in the United
States circuit court of Portland by
Federal Judge Wolverton, the rights
of courtesy and dover are held to at
tach to reservations upon which lands
have been allotted by the general gov.
eminent. The question of dover was
raised in the case of Sarah Wheeler
against the government, while the
right of courtesy was involved in the
Pair case, pending from this place.
The effect of the decision just rem
dered says the East Oregonian is that
the same laws regarding dover aud
courtesy rights that exist also apply to
those holding allotments Oh reserva-
tins. Under the laws of Oregon a
husband, by reason of his right of
courtesy, has a life interest in all of
the real property left by his wife. A
wife, through her dover right, has
life interest in one-halt of the real
property left by her husband.
The question decided by Judge VOL
verton is one that has long been in
doubt and has been of great imror-
tance here by reason of the fact that
the right to much land upon the
Umatilla reservation has been in doubt
pending the decision.
Aside from the two cases upon which
decisions were given, there are num-
Der of other similar cases pending
while numerous others could be
brought from the Umatilla reserva-
tion. AS result of the decision,
white men having deceased Indian
wives will obtain life interest in the
allotments held by the latter during
their lifetimes, while Indian widows,
through the dover right, will have q
life interest in one half the real pro-
perty left by their deceased allottee
husbands.
The question of whether or not the
rights of dover and courtesy obtain
upon reservations was raised through
the fact that in the federal law re
gaIding allotments the lands of de
ceased allottee shall descend in ac
cordance with the laws of the STAT
/ in which the reservation is located
. AS nothing is stated regarding dove
and courtesy rights it has been hel
by attorneys opposing those rights tl,a
| they did not exist here and that land
. left by dead Indians fall to the he'll
, of the departed. However, Jude
3 Wolverton's g decision has been advers
7 to that contention.

.ALL-STEEL BOX CARS FOR U. P.
Will Open New Era in Freight
Transportation.

With their own all-steel passenger
and postal cars now on the rails, the
Omaha shops of the Union Pacific
have turned out two sample all-steel
box cars from designs of the rIotive
power department. Ibis is another
step toward the approaching era of
steel rolling stock of all kinds. 1t
leaves to be produced only the all-steel
dining car. which calls for no new
structural features such as are en-
bodied in other types.
With greater cubic capacity, the all
steel box car weighs only $1,000
pounds, or two tons less than the stan
dard wooden car. Beside the element
of greater safety and protection of
goods in transit, the steel Car has the
advantage of requiring less repair than
the wooden Car, will De out of service
less frequently and will give more
as we'll as better service to the carrier
and to shippers.
A single 15-inch 81" beam forms
the center sill of the car, below the
double steel flooring. The sides and
ends are of thin steel, riveted every
two feet to angle carlins. Each door
is single sheet of steel, reinforced.
like the sides and ends of the car, by
diagonal bracing.
The only difference in dimensions
between the steel and wooden Union
Pacific box car is that the steel Car is
four and half inches wider and two
inches lower. The length, 40 feet, is
the same, but the steel car has great
er capacity by 80 cubic feet.

ANOTHER BLUE LEDGE DEPOSIT
Huge Gold and Copper Lode on Ridge
Between Rogue andEUmpqua.

The uncovering of hugh body of
ore carrying high values in copper
and gold in district hitherto unex.
plored, is receiving much attention
from mining men in the Grants Pass
section. The new copper lode, or belt.
is on Elk creek and ON the divide be-
tween the Rogue and Umpqua rivers
at an elevation of from $500 to 1000
feet The district is 40 miles from the
Southern Pacific railroad and IL miles
from the Medford 81 Crater Lake rail
road, now under construction. At
present the district is reached by
wagon road from Riddles. Douglas
county.
Several strikes have been made on
the big lode and some 30 or 40 claims
have been located. The general direc-
ton of the belt is north and south.
The main ore body has width at all
exposed points of from Is to 20 feet.
The ore gives test values Of from 3 to
per cent copper and from ~ to $12
a ton in gold.
The claims are in the hands of com
petent mining men, among them being
DR.. J. f. Reddy of Medford, who will
secure ample capital to fully develop
the properties. It is believed that
another "Blue Ledge"will be opened
up, as the showing on the Elk creek
claims is said to be better than was
the original showing of the Blue Ledge.
The two districts are quite similar ant
! the character of the ore indentical.

companying the injured man to Pen
dleton. Johnson was conscious when
the train left here for Pendleton where
he died shortly after reaching that
place. He has relatives in Walla
Walla and Nebraska. When found
hy his train mates he gave directions
as to how they should lift him and
place him in the caboose. and on ar
rival here simply requested the doc.
tors to give him something to make
him sleep. The right leg was ground
to a pulp up to the knee, making am
putation necessary at the thigh. OF
the left foot and upward, above the
ankle, nothing remained but mashed
flesh and PARTICLES Of bone.

AFTER MORE POWER
Walla Walla Company After
Umatilla River Site.
MAY MEAN EXTENSION OF LINE
Power Site Owned By Weston Men
is Valuable But Has Never
Yet Been Utilized.

A Walla Walla special says: Color
is given to the story that the Walla
Walla Valley Traction company has
under consideration the extension of
its interurban line now in operation
between Walla Walla, Freewater and
Milton, to Weston, and eventually to
Pendleton. by the fact that another
significant move on the part of this
company has just come to light.
It is now learned from what is con-
sidered reliable sources at Weston that
the Walla Walla Valley Traction COM
pany is negotiating for the purchase
of the Umatilla Electric Light q
Power company, of which Robert
Jameson is the president. The point
on the Umatilla river where it is pro-
posed to locate the plant is about IA
miles south Of Weston, where there is
fall in the river sufficient to develop
several thousand horse power within
distance of about three miles.
The Weston company was formed
several years ago with view of util-
izing the power for electric lighting
and power purposes, but since the
completion of the Northwestern cleo
trio plant on the Walla Walla river.
the power from which is distributed
through practically all the towns
along the line between Walla Walla
and Pendleton, it is considered cheaper
to lease from the Northwestern than to
own and operate rival plant. And
with the extension of its railroad line
to Wallula and Pendleton the North
western, owner of the latter, wall need
the additional power available here,

Think of the range horses which
were sold in eastern Oregon 10 years
ago for $5 to 81 per head, and then
think of teams selling in this city at
$3.50. If the young man Of 10 years
ago had been wise enough to have kept
his old mares until today, the increase
would have made him rich. The time

body else is trying to get out Of it.

REGARDED AS COAL OF FIRE

CASE BEFORE LABOR UNION.
Views of Local Leaders-Central Body
to Ask Audience With
the President.

We Will have a live coal OF fire to deal
with at the meeting of the Central Labor
Union next Monday night" said a member
of that organization today. He referred to
the action of President Roosevelt in char
acterizing Haywood. Meyer and Pettibone
as undesirable citizens"
Other trades unionists said they regarded
the Presidents utterance as "a slap at
organized labor" and 1t was their belief
that the Central Labor Union will appoint
a committee to call on President Roosevelt
In reference to the matter. 1t was also the
belief that there will be a hot discussion on
the subject at the meeting.
Mr.. Sam DeNedrey secretary of the CEN
tral body, has given out a statement in
which he says a resolution will be pre-
Sented and he believed unanimously adopted
at the regular meeting next Monday night
appointing committee to seek an audience
with the President to talk over his classid-
cation of the Idaho labor leaders. Meyer
