Providence, Mass. Aug. 2o.-In the
presence of President Roosevelt and
a distinguished company, there was
laid today the cornerstone of magnl-
ficent monument to be erected here
to recall the place where the Pilgrims
finished their long voyage. where they
drew I'D their historic pact in the
cabin of the Mayfiower, and where
few of them first stepped on Ameri-
can soil. The visit of the President
and so many other notables made an
occasion that will ever be remember
ed by Cape Cod folk, and 1t will pro-
badly be many long day before
quaint old Provincetown is aroused
from its lethargy and called upon to
entertain another such crowd. Ma
lives and summer residents for miles
up and down the cape came to town
and to these were added hundreds OF
e1cureionists from Boston and other
points. The three or four little road
ways that serve as streets were con-
gested with humanity, and the crowd
was forced to take to the beach aud
the sand hills back of the village to
get breathing space.
The natives agreed that 1t was the
greatest thing that ever happened on
Cape Cod since the landing OF the Pill
grim fathers 2s7 years ago.
Shortly after 10 O'Clock this morn
ing President Roosevelt and party
reached the harbor from Oyster Bay
on board the government yacht May
flower. The approach of the yacht
was through lane Of eight battle
ships. The sea fighters were in gala
attire. AS the Mayflower steamed
down the column of vessels each in
turn greeted the President. who occu

NEW YORK, January 16.-The an
nouncement of the engagement OF
Burton Harrison and Mrs. Mabel Jud-
latter part of December. While the
names have been spoken in the same
breath by friends for some time, even
the closest friends did not know that
Mrs. Cox had secured divorce from
her husband, DIR. Rowland Cox, until
the announcement of the pending
marriage match.
At the time of the engagement,
Harrison and Mrs. Cox were at Can
mes. Mrs. CoX's father, Henry L
Judson, who is a member of the Stock
Exchange, acknowledged the engage
ment and that his daughter had Sc
cured a divorce from her husband
shortly before her departure for Eu'
rope early in the winters.
Mrs. Cox is a noted beauty. She mar,
ried Cox in Brooklyn in November
1901. She and Cox had domestic
disagreement two years ago. The first
wife of Harrison, who was Miss Mary
Croker, daughter of the late Charles

ed in an automobile accident at Long
Island city November 25, 1905. She
left an estate valued at $3,0OO,OOO

JAPAN'S SHIPS TO AUSTRALIA.
TOXIC, January 12.-What may be
regarded as an official explanation Of
the change of route to be taken by
the japanese training squadron is to
be found in the following statement:
"Being given on inquiry to under
stand that San Francisco is i'm state
of ruin and unable cordially to well
come the training squadron, not to
say that the city objects to the pro-
posed visit, the squadron will go to
Australia, leaving Yokohama January
18th, and proceeding via Honolulu
where it will arrive February . and
remain a week"

'To get this S3O,OOO,OOO, in addition
to the original $2OOOOOOO taken out
by the Chinese in pioneering days,
what will be sacrificed?
"A large part of that dredger land
wis useless for agricultural purposes.
ibe area in good orchard amounted
g.. but 400 acres. At the highest pos
uie price that orchard area was
worth only between $4,000 and
100000 What is that to sacrifice to
get out S2O,OOO,OOO i'm gold from the
stratum just below water level?
"The result of all this dredging will
he that Oroville will have 5000 acres
of cobblestones from ten to fifteen
feet deep over the surface of the
earth. The cobbles will be on top and
the fine earth under them.
The time is coming when those
cohhles will be of immense practical
value all through Northern California
With railroad building, the great eX-
tension of suburban and interurban
electric railways and the construction
of better country roads through the
Sacramento valley there will be a
steady demand for crushed rock for
ballast and for macadam. There is
ITO material thus far discovered to
ehual crushed rock for roadbed or for
1hacadam. Gravel is too round and
shifting. Crushed rock stays where
it is put and solidifies.
at may be twenty or thirty years
before that vast field of Oroville cob
blestones will be used. But when the
railroads begin to haul the cobbles
away they will find the task an easy
one. Spur tracks can be laid all
through the district and the rock can
be loaded right into the cars, and
nothing but rock. There will be no
earth TO be shifted away. Then, when
all the cobbles shall have been re-
moved to make roadhed, those 6OOO
acres of land about Oroville will be
clean earth. better than it was before
the DAYS of 40. and orchards of great
er magnitude than Oroville ever
dreamed of will grow again oever that
area that yielded $5O,OOO,OOO in placer
gold.
"And don't YOU discount the value
Of that splendid field of cobbles. 1t
will be worth big money for macadam
for roadbed and for concrete build
ings. The Western Pacific is coming
right through Oroville, the Southern
Pacific has it's rails there already and

RUSSIA MOI LIKELY
70 BORROW ABROAD
BELIEVES THIS is THE LAST
YEAR or MONETARY PERPLENI-
TIES.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 1j.-The
denclJ in the budget OF 1907 will, If
the expectations OF Finance Minister
hokoysoH are realized, be covered en-
urely from internal sources, and with
out resort to II teoreIgn loan. In an
interview today the Minister express
ed the hope tnat a large part OF the
deficit, which, he said, had already
been reduced from STAG, 10000 to $l2l,
100000 by the surplus of 1906, would
be balanced by the excess Of income
in 1907, and II would not be neces-
sary to raise more than $7O,OOO,OOO by
an internal loan issued with the sane
ton of Parliament.
NJ. hokoysoff, VINO referred optims-
ticully to the financial and internal
conditions of Russia, said the issue of
the loan could in no wise be regarded
as an Indication of Russia's inability
to live within her income, as it was
due almost entirely TO the settlement
of outstanding war expenses and to
the relief of the severe faminine con-
ditions. lie apparently regarded 1907
as beng the last year Of Russia's eN-
IRENE financial perpleNities.
The estimates OF the increase in
the income" said the Minister, were
as in 1906, purposely made on the
most moderate basis, less than $74,-
100000, and the receipts for 1906 eN-
ceeded the estimates by $1O6, 100000.
While it is impossible to predict the
future. l absolutely believe that we
are justified in expecting Il surplus in
come of from S5O,OOO,OOO to S7O,OOO,OOO
In the latter case L could ask Parlia-
ment to sanction a loan of only $780,
100000"
The competence of Parliament to
alter the appropriations for the police
was denied by the Finance Minister,
who said that according to the bud
| get law of March, 1906, Parliament
cannot alter estimates based on the
existing law, and ''would not be al
lowed to cut a kopeck."

"The comparison confirms with rea-
sonable exactitude the statement that
the orders now in hand will keep the
builders working to their maximum
capacity until September 1, 1907, and
it goes to show that the railways
have for two years or more discount
ed by six or twelve months the
freight-car producing capacity of the
country.
another remarkable feature shown
in the freight-car statistics is the ire
mendous expansion in the demand for
steel cars and cars with steel under

Paullanius Are Made Husband
and Wife.

At the beautiful home OF Judge and
Mrs. George H. Burnett on High
street, on Wednesday, July 8, Miss
Martha Paullanlus, one Of Astoria's
fairest daughters, was united to Mr.
Harry H. Belt, the nephew Of Mrs.
Burnett, and one Of the prominent
educators of Oregon. Upon the stroke
OF 10, the young couple, accompanied
by Miss Esther Anderson Of Astoria,
as maid Of honor, and Mr.. j. zophar
Tharp as best man took their positions
before Judge Burnett, who performed
the impressive marriage ceremony,
after which a dainty wedding
breakfast was served. A large num-
Der Of guests we're present, and many
valuable tokens were received, attest
ing the popularity fthe young couple
with their fellow teachers and friends.
The bride was tastefully attlred In
cream silk, while the maid OF honor
appeared 10 a dainty dress Of white
organdie. The parlors we're beauti-
fully decorated with rare and fragrant
sweet peas and the dining room was
massed with the same blossoms. The
bridal table was artistic with roses
and jasmine, while the white table
cloth was looped up artisticaIly with
the graceful SPRAYS OF the Waxen
leafed smilax.
The pretty romance which ended SO
happily upon this occasion, began
several years ago at Monmouth,
where the young couple were students
together, and later they taught in the
same school at North YamhiIl. After
the summer vacation they will return
to North Yamhill, where they will re-

CONDON. Oregon, July s-(To the
Edltor.)-As several persons from
Dallas were misled by reports given
out last year In regard to wages, etc.,
will state the conditions exactly as
they are this year.
Gillian county will have the largest
crop this year that it has produced In
twenty years. Yields will run from
20 to s5 bushels for wheat and 80 to 40
for barley.
In the northern part Of the county
heading will begin about July 10Th.
In about Condor, it will be a little
later.
SO far as can be seen now, wages
will be about $3.50 to 80 for most
labor, although header drivers and
some others get more.
Ten or twelve combined harvesters
have been placed In the neighborhood
OF Condor. which cuts down the num-
ber OF hands required.
