win begin telling for the second
time, his grewsome story of whole.
sale assassinations, next Tuesday. ac.
cording to the present plans of the
attorneys for the state in the Petit

1t seems certain that the jury will

Monday Hawley will make the OPEN
ing statement for the prosecution.
1t will require but few witnesses
to establish the corpus delecti and
then Orchard will be brought on.
He expresses a dread of the ordeal
and asserts that he would rather pay
the penalty for his crime than to
again open to the world the bloody
chapters of his life's history.
Both Sides Challenge.
The defense exercised the seventh

now on a strike in that city.
Nevada has no state militia. Fun

Radicals Say Trouble VIII Follow.
Carson City, Dec. 6.-Governor
Sparks asked the government for
militia to hold the situation in hand
both for the protection of the mines
and property miners and mineowners
Of the camp.
The action of the Tonopah mine
owners In closing their mines has in
measure complicated matters and II
may be necessary to send troops to
that town in conjunction with Gold
field, the two being only 20 miles
apart.
Governor Sparks states that his rea-
sons for asking for federal troops is
to fully protect both classes. The
conservative element OF miners in
both camps have signified a willing
ness to go to work while the radicals
have given notice that should they
go to work trouble would follow.
Thus, with troops on the scene, It
is the belief Of the governor that con-
fllcts will be averted. The situation
is being watched with the greatest
care from the executive building in
this city.

That the Pendleton wooden mills
will soon be in operation again is
practically assured and therein lies
good news for the business men OF
the city.
c. A. Shepard, superintendent OF
the mill during the past year, is the
prospective lessee of the mill. When
questioned upon the subject this
afternoon he stated to the East Ore
gonian that he had been in negotia-
ton for the plan for some time and
that while the deal is not formally
closed 1t will likely be consummated
within a couple Of days.
Should he lease the mill Mr.. Shep-
ard will prepare to resume operations
at once and he proposes to have the
plant running at its capacity inside
OF two weeks. All OF the 10 looms
will be started and a force OF 2S or
30 people will be employed. These
VIII be selected locally as far as pos
slble.
N"b W MT SnepaTu, an
abundance OF wool for the mill may
be secured In the northwest so that
the plant may be kept running
throughout the entire year. This he
will aim to do.
That the woolen mill can be made
to pay Is the firm belief OF Mr. Shep-
ard and with the demand that now
exists for the products OF the mill. he
Is confident OF success. Practically
the entire stock of robes and other
products Of the mill is now exhausted.
AS soon as the mill is in operation
again Fred A. Shoemaker will be en-
ployed as travelling salesman and will
represent the business on the road.
Should Mr.. Shepard lease the mill
he will be the first practical mill man
who has had the business for MANY
years. He will have n one years lease
with the privilege OF renewing and
also an option upon the plant.
In the past the expense for fuel has
been the greatest drawback to the !
success OF the mill and this obstacle
the new lessee hopes to overcome by |
using electricity to run the looms.
while II will stlll be necessary to use |
steam for some purposes the bulk of |
the machinery will henceforth be |
operated by electricity and at a re-
duced cost.

FR|CHTFUL MINE EXPLOSION
KILLS 400 MEN IN VIRGINIA

Fairmount, Va, Dec. 6.-Four
hundred lives are thought to have
been snuffed out this morning in a
terrible explosion in mines Nos. 8
and S, belonging to the Falrmount
Coal company. The estimate made
Of the probable dead is the one given
out by General Manager Malone.
Three bodies have been recovered
up to noon.
If the number Of dead equals Ma
lone's prediction, the Fairmount dis
aster will be the worst in the mining
history of America.
Foul air and poisonous gas are
repelllng the rescuing parties, who
are making frantic efforts to get to
the scene OF the disaster.
About 1000 men are employed in
the mines. The shock of the explo-

| there this season. According to one
authority the amount of Argentine
wheat for export this year will be
from 100000 to 100000 quarters
(550 pounds) greater than last year
However, it is admitted that this in
crease will not fill the void caused
by the short crops in Russia, on the
Danube, India and Australia.
But 1t is said that the Argentine
growers always sell Immediately af-
ter harvest and that by reason Of
this fact no sharp advance in price
can occur for several months. II
will more likely come, according to
the buyers, late in the spring or early
next summer when the shortage will
become more apparent.
According to Mr.. Moore the grain
companies are not holding any wheat
in anticipation of an advance, but
instead are turning It off at once at
the prices now ruling. To hold
wheat in expectation of an advance
in the spring is a gamble the brok-
ers seemingly do not care to take, or
else are not in a position to play.
Future Looks Bright
Those who are familiar with wheat
conditions are hopeful over the out
look for this county next year. Ac-
cording to all statisticians the world
will enter upon next years harvest
with less wheat on hand than n has
had for years, thereby insuring high
prices again, Should this hold true
and Umatilla county harvest another
big crop, as present conditions indi-
cate there cannot we'll be hard times
for local people next year.

PAY CASH FOR WHEAT IN LOCAL MARKET

Though the price has not yet ad-
vanced above the opening figure of
20 cents for club, the local wheat
market is once more becoming ac-
tive. That they are now buying
wheat on a limited scale was stated
this morning by four of the local
grain company representatives.
Within the past week or so VIII
More, agent for the Pacific Coast
Elevator company, bought nearly
100000 bushels from farmers tribu-
tary to the O.. r. & N. line. j. e.
Montgomery, of the Puget Sound
company also says that he has been
taking some wheat and the same
is true of William Sutherland. repre-
tative of Balfour-Guthrie, and Frank
Rogers of the Keer-Gifford company.
Practically all of the wheat now
being sold is already in warehouses
and the farmers are given checks for
the same Immediately. These are
being paid In cash at the banks and
as a result the local Financial situa-
tion is benefited thereby.
Advance May be Late.
While 1t is admitted that the
worlds wheat situation justifies an
advance over the present current
price. it is held by some of the buy
ers that the advance will not likely
occur until very late next spring or
summer.
That the harvesting of the crop in
Argentine will prevent an immediate
advance is declared by viii Moore.
The harvest in the South American
republic occurs during December and
reports all indicate a heavy yield

More Bodies Found.
Eight more bodies have been added
to those already found, making II.
Smoke has driven the rescuers
back. In an official statement issued
this afternoon it is said that 400 men
are in the mines and that all are
either dead or injured.
A few may have saved themselves
by getting behind the doors. It is
claimed that the management is
understanding the number Of men
In the mine.
The company has ordered 800 cof-
fins. Late this afternoon three men
alive but terribly injured, were
brought out.
