DENIES COUNTERFEITING.
Coon Says He Did Not Make Bogus
Money on Snake River

f. r. Coon, indicted on a charge of
conspiracy to counterfeit money took
the stand in the United States circuit
court this morning in his own behalf.
and testified that he had never en-
tered into any agreement to manufac-
ture coins and that he had turned
down a proposition to this effect
made to him by Elmer Turner, one
of the six arrested, and who last
week pleaded guilty to one of the
counts, says the oregon Daily Jour-
nal.
Coon said he told Turner at the
time, early in 1904, that he did not
want to enter the counterfeiting bust
ness again, and that he had scheme
for tempering copper which he be-
lieved would eventually make him
rich. 1t was for the purpose OF car
rying on these experiments, the wit
ness said, that he had ordered a
hydraulic open-jawed die-slnking
press from New York through Hans
Johansen. another of the trio now on
trial.
Coon said that he had already
served two terms at McNeil's Island
for counterfeiting. While there he
was employed in the boiler room
and he also had a good deal of tinker
ing around the blacksmith shop and
odd Jobs at the jewelers. trade. At
the penitentiary he had a gasoline
furnace which he took to Huntington
when released.
When the press was sent west from
New York 1t was addressed. to a flc1
titious name at Baker City, Oregon.
The witness said his object in doing
this was that he didn't want the Sc
cret service. men to get on to the fact
that he had ordered such machinery.
Later the press was taken to Welser,
Idaho, and afterward to Huntington
and then to a dugout on the Bastain
ranch, where Coon formerly made
his headquarters.
Elmer Turner, he said, had put up
most Of the money which had gone
o purchase the press. This ma
;hine was to have been used in
Coon's copper experiments. Aftef-
ward he found out that It was not |
ust what he wanted Early last |
rear Coon advertised the press for |
ale. The advertisement in the Net
j industry, a New York publication,
vas produced as evidence for the de-
endant !

BIG DEPOSIT OF SULPHUR.
Alcutian Islands Are Found to BE
Immensely Rich.

Seattle, Oct. 1S.-The United
States government has had a scien-
tific expedition this past summer on
the Aleutian group of islands and one
result out of many valuable ones OBJ
tanned has been the marketing and
identifying of one of the largest sui
phur deposits in the world. These
islands are all volcanic and on them
exist free gold, platinum, quartz, cop
per and sulphur.
1t is expected by many that the
exploitation that will be given to
these islands by the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition, which will be held
at Seattle in 1909 and the amount Of
original information that will be col
lected and dispersed by 1t about the
most westerly section of the world,
will have the effect of sending thou
sands of settlers to the islands. Fish
cries, ranching, mining, all are pos
sible on both a large and small scale,
and the best methods in each and all
cases will be fully demonstrated by
the exposition.

KAISER is KINGS GUEST.
Emperor William VIII Visit His
Royal Uncle, King Edward.

London, Oct. 1S.-The visit Of
Emperor william to England next
month is fraught with the greatest
interest both personal and political.
For years there has been barrier Of
prejudice between the two countries,
but this has been considerably lower
ed by the diplomacy of King Edward
and his ministers. 1t is hoped that
the barrier will entirely disappear as
result Of the coming visit of the
emperor.
Upon their arrival the emperor and
empress will proceed at once to Wind
sor, where they will stay during the
whole of their sojourn, except for a
state visit to London, where they will
be officially welcomed by the lord
mayor. 1t is expected that the
breakfast that will be served on this
occasion atthe Guildhall on this oc-
casion, together with the street deco
rations, will cost not less than $780,
900.
The duty of extending a welcome
to their majesties will fall to Sir John
Bell, who is soon to take office as
lord mayor of London. The address
of welcome will be contained in a

HUMoR OF THE HOUR

The New Yorker soon learned that

in the palace of Shiba, an ancient and
picturesque residence belonging to the
imperial family. During the day nu-
merous Japanese dignitaries and OFF,
Gals called upon the secretary, many
of them accompanied by their wives.
After an uneventful voyage across
the Pacific from Seattle, which port
she left Sept. 10, the Minnesota stole
up Tokyo bay and anchored at the
Yokohama quarantine station. Among
those who We're received by Secretary
Taft on board the Minnesota were a
number of the leading journalists of
Japan. Replying to a felicitous speech
of welcome, Secretary Taft said, re-
ferring to the matter of racial preju-
dice, that it was only necessary to re-
fer his questioners to the message of
President Roosevelt on this subject
The secretary said he came as the sec
rotary of peace, not as the secretary of
war.
The secretary was then asked if the
United States intended to sell the Phil
ippine Islands. To this Mr. Taft re-
piled that America had no intention
of selling, adding that he had no mis-
sion in Japan except to bear friendly
greetings to and visit old friends on
his way to Manila. Continuing, the
secretary outlined his proposed trip
around the world and spoke of his
plans for the future government of the

NEW VERNON.

The proverbial and somewhat pro-
tracted "equinoctial" has passed leay-
ing behind it a cool crisp atmosphere,
reminding us that Jack Frost may
soon .sslip down on star-beam, and,
that at no distant date, Christmas
will be in the air. Surely, the true
Christmas spirit should be in our
hearts in more pervaSive and abiding
degree, because, of the finely effective
rendering, by Rev. Oliver G. Horsman,
last Wednesday evening, of the beau
tiful story written byW ri. III. Murray,
entitled, How John Norton Kept
Christmas. The delightful entertain
ment was held at the home of the
Misses Morris, under the auspices of
the Sunday School classes, Nos. 3 and
4. Mr.. Horsman' s sympathy with the
sentiment OF the author, inspired his
rare Evolutionary gift, aud, the audi
ence was held spell-bound by the fasci-
mating interest of the story, thus inn
pressively brought before us. Melody
was fitting adjunct, and Mr.. and
Mrs. George Buckingham added much
to the enjoyment of the occasion, by
the exercise of their artistic talents,
and the musical numbers of the pro-
gram were greatly appreciated. We
are confident that the charming story
thus presented, with its beauty OF
thought and diction, its wit, wisdom
and pathos, combined with that spirit
and principle, that leads to noble liv-
ing, love to God, ard service to man,
will be lasting memory. In addition
to the pleasure and profit thus Offord-
ed, a substantial, pecuniary addition
was made to the Chapel fund, and a
pleasant social hour enjoyed.

Russian Radicalism and Reaction

That matters in Russia are in a serious
way is attested afresh by two foreign dis
patches, just received. One comes from
London and tells of the decision Of the
congress of Russian social democrats in
Session there to cut loose from the con-
stitutional democracy and other liberal
parties in Russia, thus giving the ex-
tremists control Of the party OF reform
which they lost year ago. The other dis
patch comes from st. Petersburg and states
that the government has instructed the
consul at London TO forbid the Russian
steamboat lines to carry back to the capt.
tai the members of the duma who have
been In attendance upon the congress OF
tie social democrats This is no less than

note OF warning to all Russians that they
must not undertake to journey abroad TO

problems. Thus in a measure the censor
