Goldfleld, Dec. 1.-THE impress
sion is growing in Goldfield that
trouble will start tomorrow morning
when the mines attempt to open
with non-unlon labor.
Governor Sparks issued a formal
statement last night saying that it
was his belief that the trouble was
due to develop in the camp at that
time. He did not issue this state
inent until after a long conference
with Col. Reynolds
1t is regarded as significant that a
few hours after this occurrence Cen
eral Funston announced in San
Franc SEQ that he was going to Gold
field to look into the situation, but
not to supersede Reynolds.
Applications by thousands have
been received by the mine owners for
work in the mines and operators say
they will have no difficulty in man.

At the same time there are two
thousand angry, disgruntled men,
members of the Western Federation
in Goldfeld, who will according to
their own statements, go the limit
within the law to prevent the men
from working in the mines and taxi

the federation.

New York, Dec. 11.-A penalty of
$500 a minute-the heaviest ever
proposed by the city-is imposed in

Boise, Dec. 11.-For the second
time Harry Orchard began the re-
oital of his crime stained life to the
jury in the Boise court room.
It was tine same story he had told
in the Haywood trial with a single
deviation. Except for seeming will
ingness to tell all the facts without
reserve his attitude on the stand was
similar to that in the first trial.
The court room was crowded with
room with brisk step and held his
hand high as he took the oath. In
passing he glanced casually at Meyer
and Pettibone, but was well along in
his testimony when his eye met
theirs.
His face did not show expression,
but his eyes dropped and he changed
his position. Today was the first
time Orchard had seen either of the
men since he left them in Solorado.
Orchard told of assuming the name
of Alfred Horseley and told of his
early life in Colorado, his infatuation
for the wife of another man, their
elopment, the forsaking of the wo-
man and child and his coming to
Idaho.
In his description of the blowing
up of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mines, he admitted that he touched
off the fuse.
From this act, his first Of real
violence, he went into the Colorado
troubles and of his meeting with
Haywood and Pettibone.

Portland, Dec. 11.-Serious COM
out the state has been caused by the
failure of Governor Chamberlain to
Issue his customary holiday procla-
nation last Friday and Saturday.
The governors little strategy was un-
known to the judges of the courts,
and as a result a new condition OF
affairs confronts the legal fraternity.
Presiding Judge Cleland and
Judges Gantenbein and O'Day of the
circuit court were in conference all
morning considering the effect of the
new condition of affairs and planning
means to expedite business when the
holidays are ended. At the conclu-
sion of the conference this afternoon
Judge Cieland made the following
statement:
1T apears that Friday and Satur-
day were judicial days the governor
not having issued the usual procla-
nation on those days. This fact was
not known to the judges OF the court
and no court was opened on Friday
or Saturday and no orders made or
entered. Therefore, under different
sections of the code, particularly s47
and 95S, the December term of court
failed and there can be no regular
session Of court until the first Mon
day in January.
"The judges are considering the
question of a special term of court
and will make an announcement lat
er. If one is called 1t can only con-
slider certain specified matters and
not general court business"
Numerous complications are
threatened. The law requires that
court shall open on the first judicial
day of the month and last Friday, as
1t now proves, was the first judicial
day The same applies to the filing
Of mechanics liens and the appealing
of cases in court. The board of
equalization also intended to meet
on the first judicial day and make a
formal order on the assessment to
remove any doubt as to the illegality
of such action on q legal holiday.

Cnustic Resolutions.


Whereas, This association believes
that any plan of allotment OF range
TO sheep by section lines without re-
gard TO local conditions or former
occupancy can only result in injus-
tice and dissatisfaction. and
whereas, At the range meetings
held previously TO the last grazing
season. committees were appointed
in the various districts by the su-
pervisor for the purpose Of making
recommendation as TO allotments,
and given full assurance that where
they were able to agree, their recon-
mendations would be followed; and
Whereas, They did agree. in most
instances, to a fair and satisfactory
distribution and allotment OF the
range and were highly complimented
by the forest officials in attendance
upon the satisfactory settlement Of
all range disputes:
We now, therefore, most earnestly
protest against the handed, ar
bitrary manner by which the range
was afterwards allotted by the super
visors apparently blocking it off
from the map with a pencil, regard
less of former use. watering facili-
ties. adjacent holdings. comparative
grazing values or local conditions or
needs and we especially petition and
ask that the reports to the various
committees be strictly adhered to in
the Blue Mountains, Imnaha, Wena-
ha and Goose Lake national forest.
Resolved, That whereas the range
as now allotted results in large tracts
remaining unused and idle for the
reason that 1t is not occupied or
adapted to the use to which II is
assigned, for that reason we recon-
mend that the forestry supervisor
carefully investigate all such cases
and allot and apply all such range
to the very best interest Of the sheep
grazing industry of the state OF Ore
gon.
Whereas, Much complaint has
reached the members of this asso-
citation as to the management of the
Wenaha forest reserve, and to the
western division Blue Mountain ma
tional forest, and
Whereas, Much discrimination has
been shown Oregon woolgrowers by
the present supervisors, now, there

and a request for their removal was

For many months past Supervisor
Schmitz has been an unsatisfactory

objections to that gentleman as well
as Supervisor Ireland of the western

proper channels, and II is devoutB

voice will be needed.
