DREDGE NEARING COMPLETION
Only One in United States run
by Electricity.

The new dregde is being pushed to
completion at rapid rate. 1t Is
hoped to have it finished within a
few days when the filling IN of the
lake front will begin. Already the
planking is practically complete on
the Blackwell, johnson and Coney
Island property.
The new dredge claims the unique
distinction Of being the only one In
the entire United States that will
be operated by electric power. There
are hundreds of these dredges In the
union or upon its coasts but il Is
claimed the one in our midst is the
only one entitled to the distinction
of being run with up to to date ma
chinery, combined with electric mot
or power. The others are said to be-
operated with steam alone. Il IL
claimed this will give the new dredge
an advantage over the ordinary one
little realized by the average person.
Within two months from the time
the filling in begins, it is claimed the
work will be completed.

Portland, Ore Oct. "A special
dispatch from Baker City to the Ev-
ening Telegram says:
With an exhibition of audacity and
contempt for the authorities almost
unparalleled, two men who are be-
Ieived to have killed Sheriff Brown,
climbed the wooden stockade in the
rear of the county jail last night and
offered DR.. Leroy Fuller, the sole
prisoner, $3.50 to kill Harry Drap-
er's bloodhounds. The men came
prepared with poison, and on FuIler's
refusal to accept it from them, said
they would blow up the Jail. The
hounds we're placed on the track OF
the criminals and tracked them $50
feet to a point where they entered a
buggy.
LARGE REWARDS.
The people of the town appear as il
stunned by the outrage and the sub

yesterday from Governor George E.

the state of Oregon $4,000 reward for
the apprehension and conviction of
the murderers, and Portland friends
of Mr.. Brown have offered $1,000
more. These amounts with the re-
ward offered by Baker county total
$4,000.

MILLIONS OF ROYAL GOLD.

Bank .s France Custodian for Mon- archs Who Fear Accidents at Home. Paris Cable.
 Although much has been written of late concerning tho several billion francs of gold locked up as a reserve in the cellars of the Bank of France, it is not generally known that the amount of gold which this Aladdin's cave actually contains to far greater than the published figures.
 The unpublished millions are the property of various European mon- archs who have deposited their gold with the Bank of France for use In case of "accidents at home." The Sul- tan of Turkey, who has an official in- come of about $4,000,000 a year, has long been depositing his savings with the Bank of France. The same insti- tuition Is likewise honored with the patronage of King George of Greece and King Leopold
 Strange to say, the Czar has pre- ferred to keep his ready cash in the vaults of the Bank of England, where, 1t is said. he has at his command $16,- 000,00 in Russian gold.
 The gold deposited by these mon. archs, unlike other funds which come into the banks. never goes out agafr into circulation unless it be by ex- press command of the royal depositor It is locked up like so much coal or powder pending the day that 1t may be useful.

4 plan Is being considered to estab- fish an Independent Agricultural party in the House of Commons
 The objects of the movement are to prevent Legislation which Is considered injurious to agrfculturists and to press forward agricultural measures.
 The organizing committee of the Central Chamber then drew up a re- port on the matter, which 1t presented the Council at a meeting November 5, last. when Mir. Jesse Ceilings. M. F., made strong speech in support of the formation of an independent party.
 Al H. H. Matthews, the Secretary of the Central Chamber. said of agricult- yesterday that the object of the move- ment is not to form a large body, but to get together small party of about ten members, who will watch the fn- terests of agriculture and promote them at every opportunity.
 "One of the principal questions it will take up." he said, Twill be local taxation. The party will be concerns ed with the removal of the National Exchequer of burdens which now res, on the shoulders of the taxpayer, such burdens, for instance as the cost O, the up-keep of roads, the police, and education"

 Financial Crisis. LORD ScHUsTER GIVES VIEWS Situation Due to Speculation on Credit.

nY RopERr BRopERICK.

London. Dec. 21.--Addressing an au- dience of prominent bankers from all parts of England. Sir Felix Schuster gave the following explanation or the financial crisis in the United states
 Like every other crisis, It mas about by an abnormally prosperous state of affairs.
 "Our friends on the other side of the Atlantic have an unbounded be- lief in the future of their country, a belief which It's natural resources fully justify.
 "They have also a way of discount ing the future somewhat too rapidly. Legitimate enterprise Is followed by speculation. and speculation based on credit. Vast undertakings are em- parked upon in the expectation that cash in any quantity is always at hand, and tn en suddenly 1t is discovered that the strain has become too great.
 .It seems to me that it Is over-trad- ing and dependence upon credit that have brought about situation which could not be sound. and structure which was bound to collapse, what ever the banking system might be. Tt is inevitable that monetary stringency, such as has been witnessed in the United States. results In the crippling of industries, the restriction of trade. and the lowering of prices of commodities.
 "This has taken place at large extent already. and must affect trade throughout the world. In the mean time, the strain upon European gold reserves has been so great as to fn- terfere seriously with the normal course of business, and each nation has. as it were, been thrown on its | own resources.
 "That the United States will ulti-
 mately, out of their own resources overcome their present troubles does not, to my mind. admit of any doubt 'As to the outlook in trade" he con- tinued, 'the indications point to re- strction rather than expansion, moi only in this country. but all over the world. A period of extraordinary ac. tivity is invariably followed by re. action, and signs are not wanting that such a reaction Is at hand.

Lisbon, Dec. 2t.-Graft is chiefly responsible for the present turmoil in Portugal, the sharp dispute between King Carlos and his subjects on the question whether he shall govern by The Constitution or through dictator.
 Hitherto graft has fiourished fin all the Portuguese official departments, but Senhor Franco. King Charles, Dic- tator. has declared war on the system, hence the trouble, or a great part of 1t.
 Senhor Franco has bravely under taken the task of cleansing the Au- gean stables of Portuguese official dom. which was as full of comfortable sinecures, as England under the Georges.

 The Admiral said after he remem- bered right: If anybody tries W .o stop me they will find it a difficult .ask T know my people and know my ships. and I know what they are able to dd. They will not disappoint the American people, be 1t peace or war. 1t will be a great pleasure 10 me to take the fleet to fokonoma' as I know the Japanese we'll ana haye lived among them.
 He added that his gunners nau ', broken all records, and that tn GIT shIii with their guns was so perfect thai no baftleshfu in existence would wlth- stand their fire longer than two min- utes. .,
 This is rather saying too much. such a result would surpass even the Japanese victory at the battle or Tschucchima which at least iaseeu half an hour. It IS perhdps ". good thing to have such confidence m ones self. but believe that also Iogo knows his men. and his ships. and knows what they are able to do. we further more know that the Japanese are working night and day to strength en their navy. Probably to be ready .and prepared for all contingencies, De there peace. war or show.
 The Americans have sense enough to admit that it is very great handicap to them that they have no coaiing station in the Pacific. and 1t is there fore likely that the fleet commanded by Admiral Evans. after visiting San Francisco will remain in the Phn1i- pines. and we shall then see if 1t real ly is going to return through tho Suez Canal as the American Govern ment very naturally states at the pres ent time.
 Personally I doubt it. and believe that the great American fleet will re- main in the Pacific. either until wal has settled who is to reign supreme in the far East, or some permanent arrangement has been made between the Japanese. and American Govern ment, if such a thing be possible.
