Washington, Dec. 12.-Assistant
Secretary Murray of the department
of commerce and labor, Charles p.
Neill, commissioner of labor, and Her
bert Knox Smith, commissioner of
corporations, have left Washington for
Goldfield, New, to make a thorough
investigation of the trouble between
the miners and mine operators at that
place. Immediately preceding their
departure the members of the party
had a conference with the president.
President Roosevelt is anxious to
ascertain the exact conditions exist
ing at Goldfield. He has given to
the commission a letter of instruc-
tons which Is very broad in its char
acter and will enable the commission
to make any such investigation into
affairs at Goldfield as it may deter
mine upon The letter is very brief,
simply directing the members of the
commission to proceed Immediately to
Goldfield and to make an inquiry into
affairs as they exist there and report
to him personally The letter also
directs all civil and military authori-
ties to furnish the commission with
any information bearing upon the sit
uation that they may possess.
The members of the commission
have no idea at~>present how long
they may be engaged in the making
of the inquiry, but regard it as i'm
probable that they will return to
Washington much under two weeks.
While the president discussed the
matter informally with the members
OF the commission he gave them no
concrete instructions beyond those
contained in his letter, leaving the
method of the inquiry to their discre-

have perhaps overdone the printing OF
praise for the governor.
He Is compared to Abraham Lin
coin and is looked upon as the saviour
of the Democratic party When he
left for home there We're kilograms
for him to visit New York and meet
with prominent party men.
The prediction is made here that
John A. Johnson will at the proper
time declare himself a candidate
against Bryan. IL is based on conclu-

the situation in Minnesota and the

ALABAMA RACE WAR
Twenty-Five or Thirty Negroes
Said to Have Been Killed.
WHITES UNEARTHED A PLOT
Five lodaerooms Used by Black Sc.
cret Society Burned and Most of the
Negro Victims Are Said to Have
Lost Their Lives in This Manner.

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. ia spe-
cial to the News-Scimitar from Colum-
bus, Miss, says twenty-five or thirty
negroes are dead, five whites and
many negroes are wounded and five
negro lodgerooms have been burned
in a fierce race war which is in prog
ress in Pickens county, Ala, adjoining
Mississippi
Owing to the discovery of a plot by
negroes to rise against the whites of
the county every black is In danger.
This plot was carried on by means Of
a secret society which had lodgerooms
in remote districts of Pickens county
Fifteen negroes were burned to
death in a lodgeroom near Reform,
Ala, when whites attacked the place
and finding a number Of repeating
rifles and shotguns fired the building.
The blacks were penned in by the
continual shooting of the whites and
those who were not killed in attempt
ing to escape We're roasted alive.
Near Gordo three negroes were shot
to death when posse of white men
attacked lodgeroom. So far as has
been learned the burning of the other
lodgerooms was without fatalities.
Reports from the affected districts
are conflicting owing to poor means
of communication.
The trouble started Monday with
the arrest of negro on charge OF
stealing cotton from Whig Lowe, a
white planter. who Is also deputy

for shipment to San Francisco half a
century ago. Apple trees pr 1duced a

each recurring sale of its apple crop
1t is story OF achievement that can

They are figures that spell the differ

They are the difference between wor

are the distinction between market.

are the difference between gTandpa's
methods and twentieth century meth
ods. They are the differential be-
tween guess-at-it bapha2ard way
and the correct way. They are the
difference between hard times and
good times in the home, between pov.
erty and atiluence, between indigence
and prosperity. They are to be- ad.
mired, because the world and man
kind admire success no matter where
OF by whom achieved. They are to be
emulated, for study and application
of the methods by which they we're
attained will achieve similar results
in mauy another line of industry in
Oregon. The cherry growers of the
Salem district can do it. The apple
men of Rogue River aie doing it.
The sheepmen OF western Oregon can
do it. The stockmen of eastern Ore
gon can do it. The dairymen of we IT.

growers on each side of the Cascades

Hood River Vale. Oregon.


There's little green valley en- the
Oregon shore,
Where the mighty Columbia rolls,
Where Mt. Hood in its grandeur
proudly looks Ger,
While nature tills treasure unfolds;
Where the apples blooms In grandest
array,
Meath skys of the purest of blue,
And the strawberry blossoms peeps
out In the morn
10 gather it's share Of the dew.
Surrounded by mountains and cen
cry as grand
As ever the sun shone upon;
The preti lest valley In all the fair land
Is Hood River vale, Oregon.
Where the Hood River apple, the pip
pin and snow,
Each are a treasure alone.
There leaders In markets all over the
world,
And the rride of their small valley
home,
Where you rise In the morning bright
and refreshed,
And are crested by the robins sweet
notes;
And the scent of the rose and other
sweet flowers
On the sweet balmy air to you floats:
The people are cheerful and happy
and gay;
They will greet you with a smile and
song;
You feel happy and gay all the long
summer day,
In Hood River vale, Oregon.
But we'll just look hack a few score
OF years,
Ere the white man by chance came
this way,
When the noble red man, the deer and
the bear,
In this green little valley held sway;
But the grace and duty of the wild
spotted fawD,
is surplanted by the daughters cf Eve,
And sweet strains OF music still the
savage wild yell,
Comes floating to you now on the
breeze.
You may he ensmored to some other
spot,
Be part of some gay happy throng,
But happy are You II you happen to
In Hood River vale, Oregon.
