forthcoming, states the Baker City
Depocrat. Some of the more hot
headed Of the strikers came here so
1t was learned last night, for the pur-
pose of employing legal counsel to
enforce payment.
From all that one can learn the
whole difficulty arose out of the un-
settled condition of affairs caused by
the telegraphers' strike. The manage
ment of the two mines are unable to
get adyices and funds from their east
ern hackers and consequently were
unable to pay off their men on the
regular days The miners at the Gold
en- Chariot remained at their tasks
for several days over their month and
at the Midway five days, but yester-
day they evidently lost faith in the
sincerity of their employers excuses
for the delay and took the radical
action mentioned above.
1t was also reported here that the
Belcher and California were closed
but that such is not the case with the
latter property was vouched for last
night by competent parties. As for
the Belcher, nothing definite could
be learned.
Among local mining circles the ac-
ton of the miners is decried as be-
ing hasty and ill-advised. 1t is a no
torious fact thate despite the claims
of the companies the operators have
effectually tied up the movement of
business on all the wires Several in
terests with local headquarters were
unable this month to get funds from
the east to meet their monthly pay
rolls and were compelled to ask the
banks for assistance. No doubt the
same situation holds in the Sumpter
camp. with the possible difference
that the Golden Chariot and Midway
did not have the local backing to tide
them over. A more charitable view
of the plight OF the mine manage
ments would have prevented any
strike, 1t is thought.

DRUG STORES MAY NOT SELL.
La Granle Refuses to Grant Restrict
eed Liquor License.

By a vote of the seven members
of the city council present at called
meeting held last night, the ordinance
to permit drug stores to sell liquors
for medicinal, mechanical and cul-
mary purposes was voted down and
out at La Grande, says the Daily
Star. But this does not mean that
the question has been finally settled.
The ordinance was strangled with
amendments and then stabbed to
death by a new amendment which
could not be added because the mea-
sure had passed to the third reading.
The drug store ordinance at first
provided that any store could sell IL
quor for medicinal purposes in
quantities not less than pint by the
payment of an annual license of $50.
Afterward the license fee was reduce
ed to the nominal sum of a dollar.
Ehe city attorney advised the coun-
Gil that no such license would be val
i'd when the state law requires S400
to be paid. The attempt was then
made to eliminate the license fee, but
to require the purchaser to sign his
name in a register. In incorporating
this provision it was found no ex-
emption had been specifically made
as to the matter of license. When
an amendment was interlined to ex-
empt the payment of any sum as a
license it was found that this last
amendment could not be acted upon.
Consequently the ordinance was prac-
tically tabled for the time being.
Ordinances were passed authoriz-
ing the purchase of the new pump
and electric motor, also for 1900 feet
of wood pipe to connect with the hos
pital building.

NEW SNAKE RIVER BRIDGE.
Between Hepburn and Burley, Cost
$4,000.

After several vexatious delays and
a persistent effort to secure funds to
carry through the enterprise. Verberg
brothers have succeeded in completing
the wagon bridge which spans the
snake river between Hepburn and
Burley, says the Burley Bulletin. Just
when the bridge will be thrown open
to the public has not yet been an
nounced. The approaches to the
bridge have not yet been provided for,
and the bridge without these neces-
sary adjuncts is useless. 1t is esti-
mated that the approach from the
Cassia county side of the stream will
cost between $500 and $4,000. and it
is probable if the promoters of the
bridge attempt to saddle this cost
on the taxpayers of Cassia county
there will be vigorous protest.

]. S. Young, who was in town from
Eight Mile Saturday, informed the
Times that he has estimated his
wheat crop at 25 bushels an acre, but
If he is as agreeably surprised at
threshing time as some of his neigh
bors 1t will show up yield of about
40 bushels.
F. NJ. Courier of Eight Mile, was
in the city Friday Mr.. Courier
states that Theodore Anderson has
Just finished threshing field of 100
acres of wheat that averaged 42k
bushels to the acre. The wheat is
known as the forty fold variety and
is a new kind for the Eight Mile
country. The wheat was harvested
with a combine.
Theo Anderson, who was in town
Saturday from Eight Mile for ranch
supplies, informed the Times that he
has harvested 100 acres of his wheat
crop with a combine and that the
average yield has been 425 bushels
an acre. He has over 300 acres yet
to cut that he thinks will yield more
than that which has been threshed.
He thinks some of his bluestem
wheat will make so bushels per
acre.
Ranging 10000 Sheep.
S. w. Spencer came in from Sump-
ter Wednesday, Mr.. Spencer is run
ming 1900 head of sheep in the Sump-
ter district and also a band of 2400
head at Olive lake. The sheep with
the exception Of one band are on
rented range and are in good condi-
ton and doing well. The forest re-
serve ranges are a little short ow-
ing to the fact that large amount of
territory in the watersheds is with
drawn from grazing. This seems to
be the only complaint coming from
the regulations of the forest service.
Wheat, and Methods of Raising It.
C. C. Patterson and ]. C. Thrall,
who have been travelling through the
Eight Mile country extensively the
past week in the interest of a live
stock Insurance company, report
bumper crop in that locality. They
were at F. P. Vaughn's place, where
combine was in operation, and his
wheat was yielding 40 bushels to the
acre According to their estimate,
where yield of 25 bushels per acre
was predicted earlier in the season,
the average will be 40 bushels, this
being the case with the Vaughn crop.
While this has been a favorable
season for grain the bumper crop is
not attributed entirely to the season,
but a goodly portion of 1t to better
farming methods. The past two
years of short crops, although they
were not appreciated, have not been
devoid of beneficial results. The far
mers have ben taught valuable les
son and this year they are reaping
their reward. 1t has been taught
them that better farming methods
pay, and to that fact is attributed
largely the present big crops. 1t is
true that it has been a rather expen-
sive lesson, but the farmers of this
county have unquestionably profited
by 1t, and will in the future.
These 80 to so bushel crops are al
so a very forcible illustration of the
value of Morrow county wheat lands
which are yet the cheapest to be
found in the northwest, at the prices
at which they are being held-s20 to
$50 an acre.

WILL ALSO WORK
FOR CHILDREN
MISS ROSE DAWSON HUSTLING IN
ANIMAL CRUELI CASES AND
WILL EXTEND OPERATIONS.

Since Humane Officer Miss Rose Da-
vison has been seeing to it that hack
men drive only horses in condition to
be driven, some willy cabbies have TAX
en- to bringing out lame and suffering
horses for night duty. To meet this
move on the part of those who are
careless of the comfort of the beasts,
Miss Dawson has been doing night
duty on foot, for they have come to
spot her buggy from afar.
Miss Dawson has discovered that
Chinese and Japanese hackmen have
been renting poor horses from white
! liverymen and she has broken up much
of this practice by missionary work
among said hackmen, convincing them
that for the rent they pay the livery
men they are entitled to as good horses
as are rented to other hackmen.
In connection with her duties as
Humane Officer, having to meet some
obsEeperous characters, Miss Dawson
is about to take boxing lessons.
Miss Dawson, during eight months
of highly successful duY as Humane
Officer, has come to realize the urgent
necessity of a local organization for
the prevention of cruelty to animals,
and it has peen suggested that it would
be practicable to form a society which
would also attend to cases of ill-treat-
ment of children. A society known as
the Humane Society could cover all
cases of cruelty, whether to women,
children or animals.
Miss Dawson will put her heart and
brain into the work and expects to
take the matter up with Princess Ka-
wananakoa who is intensely interested
in all humane work.

TAX APPELLANTS
HAVE COMPROMISED
EIGHT APPEALS WITHDRAWN AS
RESULT OF AGREEMENTS
REACHED WITH CAMPBELL.

Eight appeals have been Withdrawn
from the Tax Appeal Court. The with
drawals were made as the result of a
compromise reached between the ap-
pellants and the government. All of
the appeals were by plantation COM
panies as follows: Hawaii Sugar Com
pany, Kihei Plantation Co., Maui Ag-
ricultural Co., Waialua Agricultural
Co., Apokaa Sugar Co., Kahuku Plan
tation Co., Waimea Sugar Co., and Ko-
hala Plantation Co.
The appeals had been taken on the
claim that the appellants should re-
ceive an allowance on their income tax
returns for depreciation of property.
1t was further contended that a num-
Der of items of expense had been charg-
ed to the permapent improvement ac-
count, that rightfully belonged to the
operating expenses. If charged under
the latter account they would naturally
be deducted from the gross amount of
the income tax and no taxation would
have to be paid on the amounts.
Treasurer Campbell consented to &c

GEORGE WADE
STAYS IN JAIL
ATTORNEY GENERALS OPINION
INDICATES THAT HE is A LIFE
TERMER

1t looks as if George Wade, whose
term in the Oahu prison was thought
by High Sheriff Henry to be about
over, is far from enjoying freedom. AS
matter of fact Wade would seem to
be doomed to continued Imprisonment
for the rest of his natural life. He
was sentenced to serve ten years and
lie for a murder. The case is a very
interesting one.
On August Z, 1899, Wade was called
upon to plead to the charge of murder
in the first degree in having killed one
Gillespie aboard the S. S. Alameda.
Wade pleaded guilty to murder in the
second degree and was sentenced to
hard labor for the term of his natural
life. But after the change of govern
ment came into operation here Wade
secured his discharge on habeas corpus
in 1901 The Territory appealed to
the Supreme Court. On September 20,
1901, an indictment was found against
Wade, charging him with murder in
the first degree. In the following Feb
ruary Wade was found guilty of man
slaughter in the first degree and was
sentenced to serve ten years.
In an opinion by the Attorney Gen
eral, it is held that by reason of the
appeal of the Territory in the habeas
corpus matter that original mittimus
of August, 1899, is still legal and valid.
SO Wade is still serving a life under
that sentence The mittimus of Febru-
airy, 1902, the date of the second con-
viction is also valid, so Wade is up
against it.

ORIENT AND
OCCIDENT MEET
CLOSING EXERCISES HELD YES
TERDAY AT THE LOCAL BUDD-
HIST TEMPLE.

The Orient and Occident mingled yes
terday with picturesque harmony, az
school in connection with the Buddhist
temple on Fort Lane above Vineyard
street. The ceremonies and exercises
commenced at 2 p. m. in the school
yard under a huge canvas tent. Of a
total of 800 pupils forty -seven COM
pleted the primary course and nine the
grammar. The national Colors of Eng
land America and Japan were entwin-
ed with one another, and presented a
very pretty coloring. Representatives
of the Japanese consulate, teachers,
business and profession men occu-
pied the platform reserved for them
at the end of the yard.
The matter Of dress for the occasion
was somewhat mixed. The convention
al frock coat and silk hat were worn
by the men, while the teachers wore
the scholastic skirt over their HmonOs
With one exception the children wore
the dress of their white brothers and
kingdom wore red scholastic skirt
over a gorgeous purple kimono, win
white stockings and canvas shoes, in
stead of the pretty light dresses OF
silk and muslin that her fellow schooI
mates wore The boys were also Anne
rican in their dress, but not as a whole
so uniform in dress as their sisters.
Some wore waists and knee pants
and were barefooted, while others
wore shoes and stockings. Among the
guests were many parents and friends
who chung to the custom of their ia.
therhood and wore kimonos. The
children formed in classes and to the
music of an American reed organ,
marched in and took their seats at
a given signal with military precision.
On table in front of the guests was
a long Japanese box tied with a pur-
pie ribbon. With the greatest rever-
ence and care Mr. Takamura opened
the box and took out parchment COW
cred with Japanese characters. 1t
was copy of the Emperor's famous
admonition of his wish to his people
on the object and purpose Of educa-
ton. In solemn voice and manner he
read this famous edict of his Emper-
ors to the children and guests who
stood with heads bowed until he had
finished. At the conclusion of his
reading the children sang in harmony
their answer to the Emperor's edict.
Afterwards the prizes were given out,
and as each one received either GER
tificate or prize they bowed most pro-
fusely and then returned in perfect
order to a seat After the award
ing of the prizes DR.. Haida principal
