ROUTE OF LONG RIDE.
Lieutenant McCabe Selects Course of
3,OOO.Mile Trip.

Washington, April 16.-Lieutenant
E. Warner McCabe, of the Sixth caval.
ry, who has been picked by General
Bell to ride from Silverton, Ore, across
the continent on an Arab stallion, has
asked that Quartermaster Sergeant
Samuel Peterson, troop X, Sixth caval-
ry, be detailed as his orderly to accom-
pany him on his long trip.
McCabe has also indicated that be
will lay his route along the Oregon
Short Line and the Union Pacific road
from Silverton to Umatilla, Or;
thence to Boise Barracks, Idaho; Fort
D. A. Russell, Wyo.; Omaha, Neb. /;
Fort Des Moines, Ia; Fort Benjamin
Harrison, Ind. Columbus Barracks,
Ohio; Pittsburg and Harrisburg, Pa,
to New York City.
General Bell said today that he
thought the trip, which will embrace
more than 5000 miles, might be made
in 100 days, and even less if the horse
had the necessary endurance. Com
plete statistics of the condition of the
horse and rider, amount of food con-
sumed and other details will be kept
from day to day.

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
BUY SACKS DIRECT.
inland Association Cuts Out Middle
mems Profit on Big Order.

Pendleton-C. A. Barrett, president
of the Inland Wheatgrowers' associa-
ton, announced few days ago that he
had just purchased for the association
250, 900 sacks from Koshland Bros, of
San Francisco, and rs, 900 from Port
land firm. The exact price paid was
not given out, but under the contract
which the association has with the
farmers, the sacks are not to cost more
than 91a cents delivered in carload
lots to the different stations in this and
Morrow county.
The present quotations from the To-
cal grainbuyers who have heretofore
supplied the local market is 1O1a
cents. About two and half million
sacks are used in this county annually,
more than one million of which have
now been purchased by the association
for this year, and applications for more
are coming in daily.
This is the first attempt the grain
growers have made to cut out the
profits of the middlemen, and so far it
seems to have been successful.

DOLLAR SAVES A LIFE.
America Urged to Give $3,OOO,OOO
for Chinese Sufferers.

Shanghai, China. April 13.-Tele-
grams received here from 90 points in
the famine district reported that the
conditions are growing worse.
The Chinese government and people,
up to date, have contributed more than
four million dollars for famine relief,
and the sums received from all foreign
sources total half a million dollars,
including the supplies on their way
from America.
The relief committee here is prompt
ly sending supplies to the front, but
the funds are not yet in its possession.
Measures adopted up to date are made
quate. Ten million persons are suffer-
ing from lack of food and facing starva-
ton.
A dollar, the relief committee re-
ports, will save one life until the har-
vest, June 25, and $40, 900, 900 is need
ed. The whole amount cannot be
raised in China. The situation is fdes-
perate, and Americans are urged to
give $3,00O,0O0 in the next three
weeks, not for Christian, but for hu-
manitarian works, 1t is suggested that
it would be best to cable money to the
consul here, James Linn Rodgers, as
supplies can be purchased in Shanghai.

STEVENS DISCUSSES CANAL.
Ex-Chief Engineer of the big Ditch
Reaches New York.

New York, April 15.-John F. Stew.
ems, who recently resigned as chief en-
gineer of the Panama canal, arrived
here today from Colon. He left for
Washington this afternoon. Mr.. Stew
ems said:
81 was not asked to resign. On the
contrary, the highest position was not
only offered but urged upon me. l
never had any clash with any of my
super iors, and their attitude was al
ways in support of my efforts.
"The connection Of the Washington
officials with the actual work on the
isthmus is too small to offer many
chances for disagreement. ] have
never opposed doing the work by con-
tract. advocated such a policy. The
plan of contract under which bids were
received was formulated by me. l did
oppose letting the contract to the Olli-
yer syndicate for good reasons, but the
statement that l have ever opposed the
letting of any contract is false"

LAST VESTlGE OF WAR.
Japan Transfers Manchurian Railroad
to Goto's Company.


Toxic, April 15.-When the man
agement of the Manchurian railways
was transferred to Baron Gotos COM
pany on April /, the japanese govern
ment commenced Withdrawing the
remnant of the troops employed in
Manchuria. This work was completed
on April s, whereupon the imperial
government at Pekin warmly thanked
Japan, which, it is expected, will re-
duce its railway guard to less than one
half the number of men stipulated by
the treaty negotiated at Portsmouth,
N. H., which limited the number CT
guards to five men per kilometer. In
an interview Baron Goto said:
'The last vestige of war in this Sec
tion has now been removed. Fair play
is my guiding principle. In promoting
the peaceful development of Manchuria
through which our railway runs, ma
tional differences will te entirely ig-
nored. Manchuria will be made a
field for competition of all nations. In
order that we may carry out this prin-
ciple, l crave patience on the part of
those interested. Remember that the
of the road was Only
to us on the first of the
present month. The allowance of suffi-
cient time will insure the realization of
our plans, and we dread nothing more
than impatient interference"

Rains DELAY Seeding.

Pendleton-As result of the rainy
weather that has prevailed all over this
section during the greater part of the
spring it has been difficult for farmers
to get spring work done as earl y as u.s.
ual. Under ordinary conditions prac-
tically all of the spring seeding is done
by the middle of April, but much land
meant for spring grain this year is yet
unsown. To make the situation worse,
there is more than the usual amount OF
spring grain to be sown this year, be-
cause of the dry weather during the
early fall and some of those who seed
ed in the late fall met disaster because
cold weather kept the wheat from germ
mating. Consequently the latter have
to reseed now. However, the only re-
seeding of consequence is in the north
western part of the county, where more
late sowing was done than on the reser-
vation.

Pick Flaws in Douma.

London, April 16.-In long letter
to the London Times, the Russian jur-
ist, Professor DeMartens, expresses the
conviction that the second Russian par
lament is absolutely unfit tc work sue
cessfully for the benefit of Russia and
cannot advance the nation in the direc-
tion Of constitutional system of gov
ernment. Professor DeMartens bases
his belief on the ground that legislative
assembly find not single word to dis
approve Of assassinations and murder,
only enjoys speeches of discomfort and
unlimited hate and is quite unfit to dis
cuss needful reforms, and cannot posi-
bly, construct new order in the state.
He believes dissolution is absolutely
inevitable and only question of time.

SALEM TO HAVE HORSE FAIR
Growing Demand Creates New inter
est Among Stockmen.

Salem-The horse shows held at
Stayton and Woodburn recently were sc
successful and so great has the interest
in horses become throughout this coun-
ty that Secretary Frank Welch, of the
state board of agriculture, has called a
meeting Of horsemen to be held here to
prepare plans for an exhibition horse
fair to be held in this city soon.
On account of the market advance in
prices and the demand for fine horses,
which are very scarce on account OF
Eastern buyers having secured the
county and taken out so many, apreml-
um fund will be inaugurated and every
horseman and those interested in horses
will be asked to contribute something
to the fund. In this way prizes can be
offered.
At the meeting soliciting commit
tee will be named to undertake the
work.

Washington, April Island Com
missioner Ballinger today assured Sem
ator Bourne Of his intention of "raising
the lid" in Oregon, meaning that he
intended to take up and pass all valid
public land entries that have long been
under suspension in that state.
"A great many entries were held up
by the old administration on mere sus-
picion that there was something crook
ed about them. There was no actual
evidence OF wrongdoing or wrong in
tent on the part Of these entrymen.
Mr. Ballinger will pass to patent every
Oregon entry which, upon examination,
appears to be made in good faith, and
those entries that are irregular or show
evidence Of fraud will be examined as
promptly as possible and appropriate
action taken.
Mr.. Ballinger agrees with Mr..
Bourne that Oregon has suffered un-
justly in late years, and he is willing
to do everything in his power to place
the state on the same footing with all
others. He has hopes of disposing of
all pending entries during the coming
summer, and it is his expectation that
great many will pass to patent in
the near future.
The commissioner is rapidly putting
the land Office on a sound business ba-
sis, he himself working until midnight
every night at reorganization. He is
determined to make the land office
thorough business institution and bring
its work up to date.

MOSTLY SPRING GRAIN.
Dry Fall in Wasco Preventes Seeding
Of Usual Acreage.

The Dalles-Farmers from the inter
ior of Wasco county say it is still too
early to predict with any degree of GER
tainty, what will be the prospect for
this years crops. The season is about
three weeks late, and the rain, which
has fallen to the depth of l IS inches
since April /, has greatly iuterfered
with blowing and seeding. From farm
ers in different parts of the county, it
is learned that there is more moisture
in the ground now than for a number
of years past. On account of the lack
of moisture last year, small proper
tion of the acreage was sown to fall
grain, probably not more than % per
cent. The'grain that was sown, how
ever, came through the winter in
splendid shape, the heavy snowfall
making good protection. AS socn as
the ground settles enough to begin,
work will be pushed forward with great
rapidity in order to make up for the
lateness of the season.

Brazil at Peace Meeting.

Rio de Janeiro, April 16.-Brazil has
received official information from the
government of the Netherlands that she
is to participate in the approaching
peace conference at The Hague. The
Brazilian government has denounced

nounce also the agreements with
France, Spain, Italy, Portugal and
Switzerland under which the consular
representatives of the specified countries
are allowed to intervene in the collec-
ton and settlement of inheritances.

STANDARD OIL GUILTY.
Chicago Jury Finds Company Guilty
on Many Counts.

/
on Many Counts.
Chicago, April l5.-On the basis of
verdict returned by jury Saturday
night in the Federal court presided over
by Judge Kenesaw NJ. Lands, the
Standard Oil company may be fined
anywhere from 81 100000 to $2S, ,OOO,-
900 for violations of the Elkins law.
After trial that has been long
drawn out and bitterly contested by
government attorneys and counsel fer
the Standard Oil company, the case
went to the jury late Saturday after
noon and at 10 O'Clock verdict was re-
turned in which the defendant corpora
tion is found guilty on every one cf the
l ,463 counts in the indictment that had
not quashed by Judge Landis.
AS the matter now stands, it is one
OF the most sweeping victories yet scor-
ed by the Federal government in it's
contest against corporations. This is
not the end, however. The defendants
filed motion for new trial and the
arguments on this motion will be heard
probably early this week.
The charges in the indictment were
that the Standard Oil company accept
ed lower rate for shipments of oil
from Whiting, Ind, to East St. Louis
than is allowed in the published tariff
for the haul.
Originally there were over 1,S0O
counts in the indictment, but nearly
400 of these were ruled out by Judge
Lands, and hearing of the case pro-
ceeded on the others.

SANTA FE MUST STAND TRIAL.
Judge.WeIborn Declines to Quash In
dictments for Rebating.

Los Angeles, April 13.--In a lengthy
verbal opinion, Judge Olin Welborn,
in the United States District court, de-
clined to quash the indictments against
the Santa Fe Railroad company for al
legged rebating, and the company must
stand trial upon 65 separate counts.
Judge Welborn's opinion reaffirmed
the doctrine set forth in the American
Tobacco company case, that a corpora
tion is not person, as defined in the
fourth and fifth amendments to the
constitution of the United States, and
may be compelled to give testiony tend
ing to incriminate itself.
Judge Welborn gave the defendants
permission to file demurrer, if they
desire to do so, by April %.

Berlin, April 15.-Even the little in

have dreams of a mighty navy, for it
has ordered number of torpedo boats
from German firm to be delivered as
soon as possible. Four torpedo boats
built in Belgium and intended for the
budding Roumanian navy are now on
their way up the Rhine and the other
day passed Frankfort on the Main,
where they were inspected by the peo-
pie with great interest. These vessels
will go through the Ludwigs canal

EARTHQUAKE IN MEXICO.
Shock Lasts More Than Four Min
utes Over Large Territory.

City OF Mexico, April l6.-An earth
quake lasting four and n half minutes
startled this city Sunday night. The
earth rocked in q long, swinging mo-
tion, terrifying the inhs 6itants but do
ing no damage SO Jar rs can be learned
st this city, Clocks stopped at ll:34
o. M. Mexican time, and the perep-
tible motion oi the earth ceased at
ll:2SNa, The telegraph wires were
put out OF commission and for short
time the city sas ia darkness owing to
the iailute of toe electric lights. The
asphalt ON one of The principal business
streets oi the city MAS racsed open for
distance OF 10 wards. People fled
from their houses into rhe streets.
Representatives Of the Associated
Press made rapid searches over the city
but nothing beyond cgacked walls and
small issures in the pavements could
be found. At the police stations no
deaths had been reported. A wall on
Santiago street collapsed, killing num-
ber Of horses and wounding five men.
No reports have yet come from the
American colony, but it is not believed
that serious damage was sustained
there, although the houses, unlike those
in the old section Of the city, are not
built to withstand earthquake shocks.
Telegraphic communication as far
south as the cities Of Oaxaca and San
Juan Bautista has been established, hut
beyond the report that the shock was
very heavy in that region and along the
gulf coast nothing more was learned.

Austin, Tex, April l6.-With q
tax measures pending for consideration
in consequence of Governor Campbell's s
having reconvened the Legislature in
special session last Friday, much inte-
rest awaits his demands which he says
will make tomorrow for specific action
upon these measures. They represent
a tax upon every known corporate in
terest in the state. In addition the
state revenue agent has demanded a
relistment of property values.
