SAWS OUT WOODEN GOAT.
Polk County Farmerr Exhibits Great
Natural Curiosity at Salem.

Salem-Breese Gibson, prominent
farmer in Polk County, who has origi-
mated may curiosities in which both
art and nature combine their efforts
has presented the Salem Board OF
Trade with a goat made by saving a
section out of the side of a tree.
When the bark was taken off the tree
the surface was very rough, present
ing at short distance the appear
ance of the hair of a goat To the
ordinary observer that was all that
was unusual about it; but Gibson
could also see that by saving straight
down the trunk he would get a slab
that would not only be a profile of a
goat, but that would show the round
ed sides, the flanks, legs and head.
He sawed out the section, stuck in
couple of sticks for horns, and had
wooden goat that it would tax the eff
forts of wood carver to excel. The
piece has been given a place in the
Salem Board of Trades new quarters,
on State street, where it excites the
wonder of all who see it. The Board
Of Trade has hne-haired stuffed goat
IN its rooms, but the real goat cannot
hold its own in interest while Breese
Gibson's wooden goat is on exhi-
0itiOn.

MILK CONDENSER FOR ALBANY.
Capitalists Propose to Establish Big
Plant in Linn County.

Albany-A condensed milk factory
costing about $4,000 and with an
output of 10000 cans day, may be
established in Albany. If local bus
mess men will take $4,000 worth of
stock in the venture, the institution
is assured. Outside capital is be-
hind the enterprise, and while the
name of the chief investor is being
kept secret for the present, the prop
osition is being handled here by re-
spectacle men.
The proposition was made public
last evening at meeting of the Alco
Club. State Senator Frank J. Mil
Ter, who has been canvassing the sit
uation on behalf of local business
men, spoke on the project and ad-
dresses on the general industry of
milk condensing were made by DR..
Tamasie, of Hillsboro, who is inter-
ested in the plant at that city and
Forest Grove; and State Dairy and
Food Commissioner j. w. Bailey.
The question of subscription of
stock by local people is being taken
up today, and If business men here
make good" work on the plant will
soon begin. The machinery alone
will cost $4,000.
The country tributary to Albany is
regarded as ideal for the supply of
such an enterprise.

FIRST RIFT IN CLOUDS.
Strike of 10000 Ironworkers in San
Francisco Is Settled,

San Francisco, June 1.-The first
rift in the cloud of strikes and unset
tied labor conditions which has over
shadowed San Francisco for MANY
weeks occurred today, when the strike
of 10000 ironworkers was amicably
settled. The men went out several
weeks ago to enforce demand for an
eight-hour workday and an increase in
wages. This resulted in closing the
Union Iron Works, the Fulton Iron
Works and all the foundries, machine
shops and iron works, not only in San
Francisco, but in all the bay cities.
The settlement was brought about
by the active work of conciliation
committee composed of delegates from
the commercial organizations, the fed
Grated churches, Civil League and
peace committee of the Labor Council
The men return to work upon the
same conditions of hours and wages as.
prevailed when they struck, and which
shall remain in effect for 1S months
The committee from the Metal
Trades Association, representing the
employers, conceded that commencing
December /, 1908, there shall be a re-
luction of Is minutes in the workdav-
Every six months until an eight hour
lay is reached June l, 1910, which
hall be in effect thereafter.

RIOTS IN IRELAND.
Peasants Rebel Against Leasing of
Farms for Grazing.

Dublin, May 31.-The latest phase
of the land agitation in the congested
districts of Ireland is taking the form
of crusade against the holders OF
grazing farms on the IL months
lease system, and is developing with
great rapidity. Kings County and
North Tipperary are the centers of
rioting. In bygone days these coun-
tries saw many evictions, and today the
peasants are determined that the land
shall be redistributed to small hold
erS.
Reports are received daily of the
gathering of large bands of peasants,
who destroy gates and fences and
clear the grazing ranches of cattle,
which they drive back over miles of
country to the farm of the owners.
In two cases men who had leased
ranches were compelled to abandon
their homes because of intimidation
There have been serious conflicts be-
tween the police and peasants, and
many persons on both sides have
been injured. There have been
prosecutions, but the SYM
Dathy with the peasants is so strong
hat in one of two instances even the
have declined to concur
n the conviction of the disturbers of |
he peace, one magistrate even going /
80 far as to declare himself ready to
20 to prison with the defendant.

STRlkEBREAkER USES GUN.
Opens Fire on Unlonists Who We're
Following Him About,

San Francisco, June 3.-W. A
Forgey, strike breaker in the employ
of the United Railroads, was shot and
fatally wounded at Van Ness avenue
and Turk street at IL o'clock Saturday
night by Special Officer w. j. Blom
berg, of the Humane Society. Forgey
opened fire on crowd of strike SYM
pathizers who had recognized him and a
companion as strike breaking carmen,
and who had pursued the two men for
several blocks.
Blomberg took up the chase, attempt
ing to arrest Forgey and returned the
latter s fire with fatal results.
During the fusillade Thomas Stack, a
structural ironworker, was shot in the
leg. Forgey is dying at the Central
Emergency Hospital.
The ears of the United Railroads
started at 6 clock in the morning and
the service was continued until $3.50
at night. This time, it is said, will be
gradually extended by the end of next
week, when full service, with the ex-
ception of the owl runs, will have been
resumed The owl ears will not be
placed in operation for some time. The
Fillmore-street extension was started
so that every line in the city
since the fire was run
ming, 225 cars being operated, and, in
,luding students, about 600 men were
employed on them.
Travel, as heretofore, increased yes
.erday, and the receipts were larger
han on any other day since the strike
began. The company is carrying more
han 100000 passengers a day, and it is
believed by the officials that this num-
'er will grow rapidly when the hours of
ervice are extended.

kUROkI DECORATES.
With Barred Head He Places Wreath
or Statue of Lincoln.

Chicago, May 31-General Baror
kuroki last night gave banquet te
so Chicagoans. which, for expense
|splendor and unique features, ha:
arely been equaled. The baron gave
orders that no expense was to be
spared, and his orders were carried
out to the letter. The banquet hall
was transformed into a marvellous
maze of Japanese lanterns, draperies
and dainty scrolls, while the menu in
cluded the finest wines to be had.
Baron Kuroki entered heartily into
the spirit of Memorial Day. Early
/ in the morning the warrior-viistor
and his staff donned their regimentals
and it was decidedly military party
which emerged from the Auditorium
Annex to go to the home of the I'M
perial Consul, S. Shimizu. 1t was the
first time the Nipponese visitors had
worn their military uniforms. Gen
eral Kuroki was attired in a clay
colored uniforms, with but one deco
ration, medal for bravery presented
by the Mikado. The other members
of the party were ablaze with deco
ration, but Kuroki wore the really
valuable emblem.
In the afternoon the general paid
tribute to the memory of Abraham
Lincoln in an impressive way-a way
that touched the hearts of the Ameri-
cans who witnessed it, and way that
Chicagoans probably will remember
as the one thing more than any other
which gave an insight into the brown,
little, grizzled warriors character
At 3 o'clock the party left the Audi
torium Annex in two automobiles,
carrying a wreath of white roses four
feet in diameter. All the way to Lin
coin Park the general was silent, as
if impressed with the importance Of
the tribute he was about to pay, and
aware apparently of whatever value it
might have as an international episode |
of his trip to America. At Lincoln
Park, President Francis l. Simmons,
of the Park Board, met the party, and |
at the base of the great St. Gaudens |
bronze statue brief speeches were
made.
The general, head uncovered and
n full uniform, presented a great
contrast as he stood bareheaded be-
lore the tall statue of the great eman-
,ipator, and the sight was one long
to be remembered. A vast crowd
1ad assembled, and General Kuroki,
lided by some of his officers, raised
he wreath and placed it revenently
IN the feet of the statue. Then salu-
ations were exchanged all around,
nd the visitors departed, cheered by
he crowd {
Another incident was a call made
pon the general early in the morning s
y a few baseball enthusiasts. Cen {
raj Kuroki, holding ball in one
and and bat in the other, eulogized l
he American game, and said he I
Iould boom it in Japan. He intends S

Wide Difference in Bids.

Salem-The Board of Capitol Build
ing Commissioners today awarded tc
Welch & Maurer the contract for con-
structing the new wing of the state
insane asylum.
The bid of this firm was ss1,s95.
Other bids were: F. B. Southwick,
$96,77s; H. N. Eley, $99,2So; F. A.
Erixon, 100000 1t is considered re-
markable that there should be such a
wide difference in the bids, the high
est being 25 per cent above the low
est. 1t is apparent that if the sue
cessful bidder makes a fair profit, the
highest bidder would have had a pref
ty good thing.
This is the largest building contract
the. state will let this year, unless,
perhaps, the construction work for the
home for feeble-minded should be let
n one contract, in which event it
night exceed this amount a little.

her son, Gladstone Dowie, Judge Ian
dis, in the Federal Court today, en-
tered an order granting authority to
John c. Hately, receiver of the Zion

this will be effected by compromise
soon, the trust estate of Dowie will be
disposed of to the creditors, most of
whom are connected with the church
established by him.

STRIKE STOPS
FRENCH SHIPPING
SEamen at All Ports Suspend Work
and Commerce Stops.
Demand Higher Pensions and Better
Conoition-Merchant Fleet Par
aIyzed by Action Of Naval Reserve
Men-Torpedo Boats Forced to
Garry Mail on Mediterranean.

Paris, June IA general strike of
sailors and Others belonging to the
French naval reserve began at almost
all the ports of France at daylight to-
day and threatens the complete paraly-
sis of French commerce. The naviga-
tlon committees are making energetic
representations to the government, say
ing that the movement is not directed
against them and that unless it is set
tied Immediately it will cause untold
injury to French commerce.
The naval reserves comprise nearly
the entire maritime population engaged
in sea-faring life and number ll7.O
men, of whom $4,000 are serving in the
navy. In addition to practically all the
seamen of the mercantile trade, most
of the longshoremen belong to the ma
val reserve
The strike was declared by the ex-
ecutive committee of the National Sea-
men Union because the government g
new bill increasing pensions from
$40S0 to $3.50 in the case of seamen
and from $156 to 5000 in the case Of
captains is regarded as inadequate.
The tie-up is almost complete at the
Mediterranean, Atlantic and Channel
ports. The strikers generally left their
ships and the government commanded
the torpedo-boats and torpedo-boat de-
stroyers to carry on the mail service
with the colonies and with Mediter-
ranean ports. The French Trans At
lantic Steamship Company announced
today that neither La Provence nor La
Gascogne will be able to sail for New
York tomorrow, both crews having
abandoned their ships. Similar condi-
tions prevail at Bordeaux
Officials of the French line have re-
quested the government to land them
crews from the state naval depots, but
no reply has yet been received. Le-
gally all the companies are in a po-
sition to coerce the men, as, being
members of the naval reserve, the
crews are subject to heavy penalties
for insubordination, but it is regarded
as more likely that they will try to-
effect compromise.
At Marseilles the sailors and long
'horemen struck almost to a man, and
Ill the fishermen drew up their nets.
The strike is as complete at Havre.
0ut up to this evening the men had
lot struck at Brest At Tcuon the
trike is complete; at Dunkirk and
Nantes the men are going out, and at
3ouen the longshoremen have aban-
loned their work.
The men are well behaved. and as
n instance of the sentiments back of
he strike there is the fact that har-
or watches have been provided by the
trikers for all ships in port.

HAYWOOD is ILL.
Many Wild Rumors Regarding Cause
of Sudden Collapse,

Boise, Idaho, June 3.-William D
Haywood was seized with a sudden i'll
ness early Saturday morning and was
unable to appear in court. His trial on
the charge that he murdered ex-Gov-
ernor Steunenberg was adjourned until
Monday. Haywood responded quickly
to treatment and by 9:3O, when Judge
Wood ordered a recess of court until
l:3O, it was believed that the prisoner
would be able to attend an afternoon
session. He did attempt to dress, but
the effort made him dizzy and i'll, and
he returned to bed. His counsel in
formed the court that he would surely
be able to be present Monday and an
adjournment was taken until IL clock
today.
