GERMANS ABOUT
TO GRAB TRADE
British Merchants in East Af-
RIGA Will Complain to the
Home Government.

London Oct. 19.-Winstm Churchill I'm
der secretary of state for the colonies,
who has started on a tour which will
take him into the interior of Africa, will
when he reaches Nairobi, on Victoria
Nyanza, have presented to him a prob
lem that has been causing very serious
misgivings to those Britishers who have
established themselves upon the shores
of the lake and have in many cases built
up large business in trading with the
natives of the adjacent territory. These
pioneers of Africa fear that a scheme
which the German government is carry
ing out TO divert the trade of the coun-
try from British to German ports on the
east coast. which is now carried over
the Uganda railway, q line subsidized,
Will not only hurt the business, but Will
seriously hurt the navigation of the lake
by lowering its waters.
Germans Digging a Canal.
The Germans have already built rail-
way from Pangani. on the coast. to the
base of Mount Kilimaniaro, on the border
of East Africa. SwampS on the one side
and mountain ranges on the other pre-
vent this line from being, continued to
Victoria NyanZa, but TO overcome this
difficulty the Germans are digging a ca
nal through the swamps from the deep
inlet of the lake to he railroad The
canal will be sixty miles long and the
flow from it will be carried to the sea
by the river Ruvu. ordinarily such work
might not be considered a menace, but
I'm the case of Victoria Nyanza experts
believe it will do great damage 10 Brit
ish interests.
The whole matter Will be placed be-
fore Mr. Churchill and will doubtless be-
come the subject Of diplomatic negotia-
lions between the foreign offices of Lon
don and Berlin.

No Plans M ade.

1t is not believed by the presidents
associates that he will now make any
changes but he has made no plans. All
will depend upon the developments early
in the week. There is no doubt of the
presence of the game now, but II IS very
Shy and may disappear in the presence
of hunters as it did from the Monticello
camp. The order for the special train,
which was to have made its appearance
today. was cancelled last night. but 1t
will be renewed if the president mani
tests a disposition to go south. Inc
Tensas parish people are reported to be
much disappointed over the failure OF
the president to carry out his program
for a visit to their section. Secretary
Latta went out to camp today.

Bear Got Away.

Indeed il is stated that a number of
fresh tracks were discovered yesterday,
and that on one occasion the party came
upon good-siZed bear, but that on ac-
count of the absence of dogs he made his
escape. The hope is very strong that
when the hunt is resumed tomorrow eth
er this animal or a member of his fam
lily will soon be run to earth. Many
of the dogs used in last week strenu-
Gus search of the barren up-country are
reported to be badly famed and an eff
fort is being made to replace them with
fresh animals

Stamboul. La, Oct. 13.-The whole
countryside turned out today in expec-
tation of seeing the president take his
departure from STEAMBOAT for the south,

Washington, Dec. 11--Presi-
dent Roosevelt will not be candi-
date. for third term. All doubt
on this point was tonight dispelled
by an suthorative statement from
the White House that Mr.. Roose-
velt still adheres to the declaration
of renunciation made on the night
of the election three years ago.
In the statement issued tonight,
President Roosevelt says he has
not changed and shall not change
the decision delivered to the Ameri-
can people in 1904. 1t appears that
President Roosevelt had been await
ing the call for the Republican ma
tional convention to afford the
proper opportunity for making his
position clear and unmistakable,
thus leaving the field clear for Fair
banks, Taft, Cannon, Knox, Fora
ker and other declared or receptive
candidates for the Republican NOM
nation. The pres idcnt's statement

The Snow White
Mountains.

The faraway mountains OF the
Owyhee range present most beau
tiful sight to a nature lover Earlier
and heavier than usual for this
season, the storms have spread
thickiy the blanket of white which
for countless ages have been wont
to receive.
Our own Bennett Mountain,
sentinel of the valley, has in like
manner received mantle of snow,
but the climate of this region will
not allow it to remain long. In
the higher attitudes of northern
Elmore county there have been al
ready several heavy falls of snow,
in places from two to four feet
deep, and as the season for snow
storms has hardly begun in the
mountains, it is believed that pre-.
cipitation in the region OF oui
water resources will be the heavies'
known in years.

Demurrage Charge
Is Very Unjust.

The business men are complain
ing of the new ruling in effect at
the depot requiring them to pay
demurrage on cars after they have
been twenty-four hours on the ware
house track, whether or not such
cars have been set at the ware
houses or convenient places for un-
loading. In a number of instances
the past month the freight crews
have been so anxious TO get TO
the rext town to engage in switch
ing service that they have had no
time to perform their plain duties
here. Cars have been moved that
were half unloaded, so delaying
operations that it has been impos-
stble TO unload them within the
required time. Quite often cars
are spotted in places where unload
ing cannot be done. The rules
and regulations OF this benevolent
cor ooration make it incumbent
upon the depot cashier to collect
demurrage in every case or make
il up out of his plethoric salary, SO
that really no one can refuse to
pay the demurrage charges, no
matter how unjust they may seem.

and in which case the jury tailed
to agree, must 20 to Telluride, Coll
orado, and stand trial for the MUIR
der of Arthur Collins, who was at
the time OF his death supcrintcn-
dent of the Smugglcr Union mine.
This action was stared when req
uisition papers signed by Henry
Buchtel, governor of Colorado, were
presented to Governor Gooding
Wednesday by Charles A. Fritzpat-
rick of Telluride, sheriff OF San
Miguel county. The requisition
was honored by Governor Goodipg
and extradition papers were prompt
ly signed. Sheriff Fitzpatrick
and his assistant, c. c. Hicks of
Telluride, left on the afternoon
train for Adams who is confined in
the Kootenai county Jail at Ratb-
drum.
Walter Hanson, the county at
torney of Shoshone county, notified
Governor Gooding recently that
he would turn over Steve Adams
to the Colorado authorities If they
would permit Adams return 10
Idaho after the courts of Colorado
are through with him. 1t was upon
that assurance from the prosecut-
ing attorney that Governor Gooding
issued the extradition papers.
Arthur Collins while sitting in
his room was killed by some one
shooting through the window OF
mis- room in the evening. The cur
tain was up and the unfortunate
man made a good target for the
skulking murderer on the outside,
whose aim was faultiess, causing
the instant death Of his victim.
Adams in his confession ssid he
committed the crime. What
other evidence, the Colorado auth-
critics may have. is not known,
here. Adams it is said objects
very seriously to being AIKEN back
10 Colorado. II is reported that
the Western Federation which has
been defending Adams by furnish
ing counsel and other assistance. Sc
crred the fixipg oi bail bond by
the Rathdrrm district court with no
intention of giving bond. A.

Financial Conditions
Are Improving.

Further improvement in the fin
ancial situation is facilitating the
return of normal commercial con-
ditions, but there is still much
idle machinery at mills and fac
tories. In the leading industries
a disposition is shown to defer
production until there is no probab-
ility of cancellations and consum-
ers show an inclination to place
orders for forward deliveries. Re-
tail trade is fairly well maintained,
demand for holiday goods assuming
seasonable proportions, and collec-
tions are more prompt. Railway
earnings for November were 20 per
cent less than in 1906 and liabil-
tiles of failures were SIS, $50, 229
larger, but insolvencies made a
much better showing than in Oc-
toher, and eliminating the compar-
atively few failures of over 500, 900
each in both years, the average for
each default was only SO, JS1,
against ST. in November, 1906.
Foreign commerce at this port for
the last week shows gam of $4,
526, S58 in exports and loss of
1888, 04o in imports as compared
with the same week last year.
Money is easier, although the pre-
MUM on currency has not entirely
disappeared and the total amount
of money in circulation on Decem-
Der 1 far exceeded all record S,
while the per capita amount also
reached new highwater mark at
$34.71 on an estimated population
of SO, 600, 600 and prices of the
sixty most active railway stocks av-
eraged SIS higher than at the low
point Of the preceding week. Banl
exchanges at New York for the
week we're 37.3 PER cent less thar
last year and at other leading cit
les there was an average decreass
of 22.6 per cent.

Francisco. Coincident with their
appearance the mine owners have
notified the Goldfield miners union
that all contracts, agreements and
understandings heretofore are at
an end. Secure in their preparation
and the support of federal troops
whose appearance is believed to be
a part of a preconceived plan, the
NINE owners have flung down the
gauntlet for the miners to pick up
At Denver the Western Fedora
tion is preparing for the struggle
that has so suddenly been forced
upon them. Speaking of the pres
ence of federal troops at Goldfield,
an official of the Federation declar-
ed: "Therc was absolutely no need
for such action. 1t seems peculiar
to say the least, that troops should
be hurried to Goldfield before the
sheriff had made any request upon
the governor for aid. The action is
Unprecedented and some utter ior mo-
tive is responsible for the outrage. -
There will be trouble at Goldfield
today, for there are hot headed mine
owners as well as hot headed min
ers and unless there is great for
bearance the gloomy scenes of the
trouble in Colorado will likely be
lre-enacted.

Saturday of the Wool Growers As

pose of conferring with Forest SUI
pervisor Grandjean with regard to
securing grazing permits in the

Since the establishment of the
reserve it has been the policy of the
government to conserve the grazing
facilities within its limits by linn
iting the number of sheep that may
be grazed therein, and defining the
area to be covered by the tlocks OF
the various owners entitled to the
privileges accorded under the regu-
lation in effect.
Only those who secure permits
are entitled to run sheep on the re-
serve and a nominal charge is made

More Oil at Payette.

The work of boring another oil
well at Payette will be started
next week, when machinery will
be in place for putting down a.
inch hole, the largest size known.
The first well has a depth of 785
feet and is capped to prevent the
escape of oil and gas until tank
and automatic separator arrives
from the east.
A rotary gas drill has been pur-
chased at Pitsburg, together with
a car of casing, and the second wei
will be put down to depth OF IS,
600 feet unless an oil gusher should
be struck at less depth.
That Idaho has an oil field seems
now to be assured. Deeper wells
will insure larger supply Of both
oil and gas. The time is not far
distant when gas mains will lad
late from the Payette valley tc
the larger towns of the state.
There will be cheaper illuminat-
ing oil in the gem state and fuel
for gasoline engines will be sold
so reasonably that their field ol
use will be greatly widened.

northern part of town.
Head d1tches, from which is
distributed the supply of water to

TROUBLE AT G0LDFIELD
GROWING SERIOUS.
Gen. Funston with a Detachment of Requ-
Iors Ordered TO the Seat of
Trouble.

The mine owners at Goldfield are
resting after the arduous labor of is
suing several ultimatums destined
to govern the future action of their
fellow beings in that town.
The mines of that section are to
be opened today. The wages Of
the miners are to be materially re-
duced. No member of the West
ern Federation of Miners is to be
employed and 500 men are being
imprted to take their places. The
business men of Goldfield are also
to be brought up with round turn
for their sins. They have been no.
titled that they must reduce the
prices of the necessities of life 80
per cent or the mine owners will
put in competitive stores.
The trouble with the mine work
ers seems to have originated in
their refusal to accept half of their
pay in the form of certificates be-
hind which the mine wpers would
place no guarantee.
That the. scheme of the mine
owners is to break the power of the
Western Federation is easily seer
from the fact that they have brought
pressure upon the Nevada governor,
who has asked the president foI
troops. A regiment of soldiers ha.
been sent to Goldfield from Sar

stipulation which provides that the
testimony on the explosion IN the
Bradley residence at San Francisco,
given at the Haywood trial shall
be admitted as evidence in the Pet

that the testimony of a number of
