CARLIN SALOON IS
ROBBED
$4,000 BURGLARY OCCURS
IN THE EASTERN TOWN

The saloon of r. ID. Santini & Co.
of Carlin was robbed at about 4:30
last Friday morning and $4,000 was
taken from the safe. The facts, as
near as can be learned, are that San
TIM, manager of the place, was out
on little time, and after getting a
superabundance of "Dago red'
aboard was unable to navigate, and
laid down in some lonely spot to sleep
it off. During his peaceful slnmber
he was touched for the keys to
the safe. After once getting the
keys to the safe it was an easy matter
for the robber to get the mazuma.
They entered the saloon by the back
way and opened the safe and helped
themselves, taking $4,000 in coin. A
numbr of checks, nickels and dimes
guilty parties can be found.

A MONTE CARLO Is
PLANNED FOR NEVAD.

NEW YORK, Aug. "A number of
prominent turfmen of this city are
working on a scheme which embraces
Monte Carlo for Nevada. 1t is
claimed that a syndicate, headed by
Abe Levy aUd Ri'ey Grammar, has
been formed and it is ready to spend
half million dollars on the projects
it has in view. 1t is intended to Sc
lect the most available sight in Ne
vada and there establish a resort that
will eclipse anything of the find in
this country. The fact that Nevada
IS a wide-open state, ;pd that in that
state there is no limit except the blue
vault of heaven, makes the promoters
believe that the project should be
successful from the start. Although
no place has been selected, il il
thought that Reno, the largest ely in
the state, will be chosen because of
its accessibility and beautiful sur
roundings. Definite work will be
done early in the fall, Immediately
after the end of the racing season in
the east.

ORDERS NEW VENIRE.
Jury Panel IN Adams Case Exhausted
Second Day.

Wallace, Idaho, Feb. 13. - At the
close of the second day of the trial of
Steve Adams for the murder of Fred
Tyler, "a talesmen had been examined,
exhausting the panel and the court had
ordered the summoning of new venire.
Eleven jurors remained in the jury box
and the defense still retains the right
to four peremptory challenges and the
state one.
When the court ordered new venire
Attorney E. F. Richardson, counsel for
the defense, made an affidavit that the
sheriff is biaseo, and asked that spec
ial commission be appointed to summon
the venire. In his affidavit it is alleg-
ed that Angus Sutherland, whose term
as sheriff expired last month, was made
sheriff in 1899 during the labor troubles
by the Mine Owners association, and
that as sheriff he cannot serve two con-
secutive terms. The present sheriff
William Bailey, was nominated with
the understanding that Sutherland
should still be in complete control un'
der the direction of the corporation
hostile to the Western Federation OF
Miners. A session was held last night
to decide the point.

LONG ARRAY OF LEGAL TALENT
Able Lawyers Gathered From Far and
Near to Assist in the Case.

Spokane, Feb. 12.-The legal battle
for the life of Steve Adams began yes
terday in the mining town of Wallace,
Idaho. On one side are the forces OF
the state, seeking Adams conviction as
the first step toward convicting the
leaders OF the Western Federation of
Miners, who are charged with the as
sassination of Ex-Governor Frank Steun-
enberg, of Idaho; on the other is the
powerful Federation, with all the re-
sources at its command. declaring the
charges are false and an attempt by the
mine owners to break up the union.
The crime against Steve Adams is the
murder of Fred Tyler, settler who
disappeared from his timber claim on
Marble creek about August 10, 1904,
and whose body was found later. His
murder remained mystery till after
the assassination of Ex-Governor Steu-
nenberg. Harry Orchards graphic
confession is said not only to have i'm
plicated Steve Adams and other Fedora
tion men in the governro's murder, but
declared that Adams and Jack Simp-
kins also killed Tyler. Simpkins has
never been found.

LEGISLATION
IS DEMANDED
No Concession on Schools Without
Exclusion.
San Francisco Delegation Refuses to
Yield on School Question Unless
Assured Japan Will Agree to Ex-
cIusion of Coolies A Complete
Deadlock is Result.

Washington, Feb. ~. - A complete
deadlock has developed in the discus
sion between President Roosevelt and
the educational authorities of the city
of San Francisco relative to the exclu-
sion from the public schools of that
city OF japanese children. There is no
present indication that this deadlock
will be broken or a satisfactory solu-
tion of the perplexing problem will be
reached.
The blame for present conditions
rests largely on the president. He was
forced to an admission yesterday that
he could 90 no further than to promise
the exercise of his utmost exertions in
negotiating treaty with Japan for the
exclusion of coolies. This was not
sufficient for the Coast delegation. The
members desired an assurance that
Japan is willing in good faith to enter
upon negotiation of such treaty, and
that it will be followed by drastic leg
islation. The president could not give
the assurance requested and bluntly
said that the legislation feature is i'm
practicable.
At the conclusion of the conference
the president informed the delegation
that he would present the entire matter
under consideration to the cabinet at
it's meeting today and later call the
delegation to the White House again.

Salem, Feb. 13. - With only one
dissenting vote the senate today took
the Chaplin railroad commission bill
from the table. 1t is now ready for
the governors signature and it is said
he will sign it. 1t was also reported
tonight that he and the secretary OF
state and state treasurer had already
conferred on the appointment of the
commission.
Representative Newell proposed a
constitutional amendment providing
the recall of public officials. The idea
is that where an officer is not serving
the people the way he should, petit
ton containing the names of % per
cent of the voters in his district may be
filed asking his resignation. Should
this not be forthcoming, a special cleo
ton is called to elect successor. At
the special election the officer whose
resignation is asked is also a candidate,
and should he not be reelected he
must vacate the office to the successful
candidate.

BOUND FAST BY RED TAPE,
Down Timber Goes to Waste Because
Law Forbds Sale.

Washington, Feb. Is. - There's
money going to waste in Klickitat
county owing to departmental methods
and red tape, as we'll as to the fact of
there being no law under which action
can be taken. Last spring severe
storm passed through this country,
telling an immense number of trees,
practically all the timber in two town
ships being razed. This timber is on
the ground, is rapidly bluing and un-
less something is done by which it can
be utilized it soon will be worthless for
lumber purposes. There is a sale for
this timber, but the lumber companies
are afraid to touch it, as the home
steaders upon whose land it is lying
have not in all cases committed their
claims and if they should abandon them
after selling the down timber, the
buyer might be placed in a very en-
barrassing position.

ORE CON APPLES IN LONDON.
Rogue River Newtowns Net Growers
So SO F. Q. 3,

Medford, Or, Feb. 12.-The high
character of the yellow Newtown apples
produced in the Rogue river valley is
illustrated by the returns which are
coming in from the numerous cars con-
signed to the London dealers by the
growers of this valley the present sea-
son. Fred H. Hopkins received a cable
today from the first car of his product
placed upon the market this year, the
same having been consigned to Dennis
4 Sons, of Covent Garden, who report
the sale of the carload. consisting of $50
boxes of four-tier and $50 boxes of four
and one-half tier apples, at an average
net figure f. o. b. shipping point, of
$2.3S per box.
The importar ce of the apple situation
impresses one the more when it is
known that the Rogue river valley has
no less that 10, 900 acres of the yellow
Newtown variety of apples, either now
in bearing or nearing the bearing age.

TURNS DOWN LEASING PLAN.
House Committee Proposes a Slight
Change in Coal Land Law.

Washington, Feb. IA. - A compro-
mise of the coal land bill was finally
agreed upon today by the house COM
mittee on public lands and recommend
ed for favorable report. 1t falls far
short of the program President Roose-
velt outlined for the withdrawal of all
coal land from entry and the leasing OF
such land, instead of selling it.
In the bill agreed upon the coal land
is reserved under the same restrictions
as land entered under laws other than
coal land laws, with the exception of
homesteads, the patents for which are
issued without Communication.
To encourage the development of coal
land in the Rocky Mountain states,
the bill largely increases the amount of
coal land which may be taken by one
corporation. 1t provides that an asso-
citation of four persons may be granted
patents on $500 acres of coal land after
having expended $40, 900 for improve
ments. The bill permits an association
OF four persons to receive patents for
l,2S0 acres after IS, 900 has been ex-
pended in Improvements. rE.a
