Alba, Jan. 4.-Yesterday morning
there was a foot of snow which came
in the night, but next day it rained all
day. Last night it showed again. .leav-
ing about six inches of snow on top
of all the mud that has accumulated
this winter. AS there is no frost in
the ground roads are bad.
Jay Despair has returned from a
trip to the Willamette valley and is

While H. T. Connell guards his
chickens from the pesky coyote by

retiring. he went to the chicken house
TO get his gun which he had left there
during the day, and while there
thought he heard a noise coming to-
ward the coop, which gave him occa-
sion to lay low and wait for the lover
of chicken flesh. He did not tarry
in vain, as the door opened and a
brawny hand seized the legs of the
most beautiful hen in the coop. Con-
nell held his breath while the thief
was passing out the bird to his two
partners. Bang! bang, went the old
shotgun, and all three thieves took to
the woods.

Americas 1905 Coal Production.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Completed
statistics now show that the coal pro-
duction of the United States reaches
over 300,0O0,O0O tons for 1905. The
value is estimated at $476,765,9 1858. OF
this total the output of anthracite coal
amounted to 77,659,s5O, or per cent
Of an increase over the preceding
year. The output of bituminous coal
for the same period amounted to 315,-
259,491, valued at $305,397, ,O01 in
1904. The increase in the production
of btuminOus coal in 1905 over 1904
was therefore 36,599,S02 tons in guam
tity and s29,4SO,962 in value. This is
the fourth time that the United States
coal output reached 100000 tons.

Negroes supplant pages.

1t has been authenticity announced
that Dago laborers in the northwest
who have been employed on the trans
continental railroads, are soon to be
supplanted by negroes.
This is said to be scheme of Jim
Hill, the railroad magnate, and al
ready a number of negro colonies have
been shipped into the state and are
operating on the Great Northern be-
tween Everett and Seattle.
1t has also been stated on good
authority that negro laborers will be
used on the Northern Pacific. on
this division it is expected that several
hundred will be used this spring and
summer. The probabilities are that
a great many of these will make their
headquarters in North Yakima.-Ya-
kima Republic.

N. P. INCREASES STOCK.
Part of Proceeds Will Be Used TO
Build Extensions.

st. Paul, Mimi. Jan. IA special
meeting of the stockholders of the
Northern Pacific Railway company
was held here today for the purpose of
considering the proposal of the direc-
tors to issues 5000 900 addi-
tional stock. The present capital
stock of the company is s155, 200. 900
and the stockholders authorized the
issue of the sum named by the direc-
tors. which brings the capital of the
company up to $4,000, 900. OF the
new issue the stockholders will have
the right to subscribe to s93, 900. 900
at par in proportion to their respect
i've holdings of the present stock.
The reasons assigned by the direc-
tors for making the additional stock
issue as explained, to the stockholders
today is the rapid growth of popula-
ton along the company's lines and
the great development of business
which is daily increasing. 1t was
stated that the increasing business
was overtaxing the capacity of the
line and further extensions of the
company's mileage was necessary.

Destructive Frosts In Florida.

Cedar Keys, Fla, Jan. THE re-
cent severe frost has done an meal
culable amount of injury to fruit trees
as far south as Tampa. Planters who
have invested all their capital in or
ange groves are staring ruin in the
face. The great loss will come
through the destruction of the trees
which crack and become barren after
being frost bitten. All the trees in
jured by the frost will be non-pro-
ductive for six years and the damage
can be calculated when it is stated
that the region visited by the frost
produced the best oranges In the coun-
try. though at the same time the
northern markets will not feel the eff
feet of the blight materially this year

Hermiston, Jan. THE big 7O-ton
steam shovel. which is being moved
from this place to the reservoir site,
Is now within a mile and a half of its
destination and the three smaller en-
gines. which are also being moved to
the dam on the improvised railroad
are some distance from town. As soon
as they reach the site active work will
begin on the reservoir. A corps of
engineers are constantly at work near
the dam, and the houses and stables
being erected for people who will be
at work there some months. are near
ing completion. Ditch work is going
on quite rapidly and the cold weather
so far has had no effect on the prog
ress of the project.
The hotels and lodging houses are
still crowded with people who are
coming in to look over the lands. and
many who are looking for work on the
big project. Mr.. Morgan. the land
lord of the Hotel Hermiston, is very
much pleased with the patronage he
has received, and says that the town
he expected when he came here few
weeks ago.
The next year will see a wonderful
change in the clearing of land about
Hermiston, and many acres will be
put under cultivation, which has been
purchased from the real estate deal
ers, and which Is not under the gov
eminent ditch.
Excavating for Depot.
A force of men has been put to
work here excavating for the erection
of the o. r. & y. depot, which will be
put up at this place at once. The
agent has arrived and two box cars
are now in use for station house
until the depot can be completed.
Mr.. Glasson, who has opened an
amusement parlor at this place, is ar
ranging to give a dance in the near
future according to latest reports.
Flour and Feed Store.
A branch flour and feed store has
been established at Hermiston by the
Weston Milling company, which
bought lot and put up a building
for that purpose.

A terrible accident happened in the
cut near Carson dock last Friday
about 4 p. m. 1t seems that blast
of several hundred pounds Of dyna-
mite had been put in and failed to
explode. Three Austrians undertook
to drill out the powder, when 1t ex-
ploded with deadly effect, killing all
three men. One was literally torn to
pieces and the other two instantly
killed, one of them being thrown rs
yards. One had a father, mother,
wife and family in the old country.
They were given a decent burial in
the odd Fellows cemetery near Ste

Food don't digest? Because the
stomach lacks some one of the es-
sential digestants or the digestive
juices are not properly malanced.
Then, too, it is undigested food that
causes sourness and painful indiges-
ton. Kodol For Indigestion should
be used for relief Kodol is a solu-

Navigation Closed I'm CRIT Lakes.

Buffalo, ~ Y, Jan. 7.-Navigation
on Lake Superior closed today. A
large fleet was released from the ice
a few days ago and are coming south.
During the season, 1877 lives were lost
on the lakes, Al vessels were totally
wrecked, the cost amounting to nearly
s3,OOO,O00. Navigation closed this
year earlier than was expected, so it
is calculated that iron ore will greatly
increase in price before navigation
opens in spring.

given to John Jacob III. and $50, ,000, 900
to William. Both devoted their at
tention. like their father, to the family
real estate. When William died, in
1892, he is said to have left about $70,-
100000, although the fortunes of his
wife, Mrs. Astor, and his son, the pres
ent John Jacob Astor, are now consid.
cred larger.
Although William Waldorf Astor Is
an Englishman by adoption his wealth
represents an American fortune. His
father Is said to have bequeathed to
him fortune of between 500, 900
and $150,000,000. The present value
of the William Waldorf Astor estate
is fixed at the latter figures.
How Vanderbilt Wealth Grew.
Commodor Vanderbilt believed in
the concentration of the family
wealth in competent hands. He left
800, 100000, the bulk of his estate, to
his son, William H. Vanderbilt, and
one-half of the remaining $4,000. 900
to the latter's sons. When William H.
Vanderbilt died in 1885 he had in
creased his inheritance to 100000, 900.
His sons, William X. and Cornelius
Vanderbilt the second, received $780,
100000 each. Each of his eight chill
dern received s10,O00,O0O, one-half in
trust and $2O.OOO,000 was distributed
in private bequests. Thus theh two
sons acquired an inheritance the pres
ent value of which is difficult to esti-
mate.
In this story of great wealth, two
women appear as strangely pathetic
figures. They are probably the richest
women in the world, yet are radically
different from each other. Each is
well past the meridian of life and their
money is more of a responsibility than
a pleasure. One Is Mrs. Russell Sage
with at least $75,OOO,O00. She has diff
ficulty in spending it. The other is
Mrs. Anne Weightman Walker, with
$120, 100000. She has to fight to keep

dead sons, John Farr Weightman and
William Weightman, Jr., and three
grandchildren, Mrs. Jones Wistar, the
widow of William Weightman, Jr.,
since remarked, started to contest the
will on behalf of her children-a suit
which created a sensation in Phila-
delphia society and dragged for
months through the courts.
Hetty Green's Millions Grow.
A third woman must be added to
this list, Mrs. Hetty Rowland Robin
son Green, the woman financier. Mrs.
Green has passed her three score
years and ten, and spent more than 40
years in active business life. She is
probably the second richest woman in
the country, her wealth being estimat'
ed at $100,000,000. She inherited
$6,0O0,OOO in 1865 from her father, a
whaler of New Bedford, Mass. An
aunt subsequently added $6,000,00C
more. She nearly doubled 1t before
she married Edward H. Green. Her
most important property is the Chem
ical National bank and her heirs are
her two children. Edward Rowland
Robinson Green, who lives In Texas
and Miss Sylvia Green. Mrs. Green's
frugal life, her skill as financier, her
ability as money lender, and many
eccentricities have resulted In In.
Vulnerable anecdotes that have made
her personality familiar.
Millions from Railroad Deals.
James J. Hill, president of the Great
Northern railroad, and one of the
masters of American railroads, is re.
puted to be worth 500, 100000. He ia
68 years old, and owns transportation
facilities covering almost the entire
continent and steamship lines to the
orient. His rise has been swift and
comparatively recent. He saw his flrst
opportunity in 1879. when he gained
control of the st. Paul q Pacific rail
road. reorganized It, and started to
develop the northwest. In 1893 he
completed the Great Northern to the
Pacific coast, with its 5000 miles oi
lines and 1000 miles Of yards and sid
ings. He owns superb feet OF steam
ships on the great lakes. including the
boats of the Northern Steamship
company.
Several OF the great fortunes OF the
country must remain largely a matter
Of speculation. To this class belong
the accumulations Of J Pierpont Nor
gan, H. H. Rogers. and e. H. Harri

fortune, according to Frederick r.
Gates, his almoner, Cannot exceed
l25O. 100000 to 100000, 0,O0O." This
statement was made on Mr.. Rookie
lellers own estimate. While this fig
ure indicates smaller sum than Mr..
Rockefeller has been popularity sup
posed possessed Of, it leaves him still
the richest man in America, although
many believe Senator William Clark
may prove eventually to be the rich
est man in the United States. Owing
10 his great undeveloped mining prop
brties his fortune cannot be accurately
Estimated.
Furthermore, great fortunes which
may be placed in the same class as
that of Mr.. Rockefeller's are by no
means infrequent. The great fortune
of to-day hovers around the 100000
300 mark. Half a dozen men and es-
tates are rated at sums ranging any
where from that figure to Mr.. Rookie
feller's $500, 100000. Such fortunes are
suficiently numerous to fix the stand
ard in sums of nine figures.
Mr.. Carnegie's Vast Accumulation.
When the Carnegie company was
formed in New Jersey in March, 1900,
as preliminary to the formation of
the United States Steel corporation,
Mr.. Carnegie was credited with $780,
$4,000 in stock and $SS,147,0O0 in
bonds, or $174,529, 900 in all. He re-
tired from business in the following
year. At that time his fortune was
estimated at sums ranging from $780,.
1000, 900 to $250,OOO 900, and his income
at from $24,0O0,OOO to $26,OOO,OO0 a
year. His income is now about
| 100000 year, according to re.
cent estimate. Conceding that his in.
come for six years has averaged $20,.
100000 or s12O,O0O,O0O in all, he could
have given at least $100,000,00O with
out impairing his capital.
Astor Millions Are Inherited.
The Astors, Vanderbilts, Goelets and
Goulds represent a class in which in

ly hazardous would be an estimate OF
the wealth of Edward H. Hartman,
the giant of Wall street and master
of $4,000 miles of railroads extending
from ocean to ocean, and valued at
more than $4,000. 100000. A man of

tatious In his many benefactions, Mr..
Harriman's wealth has been estimated
at $150,000, 900. Probably no one but
himself knows how nearly his for
tune approximates this sum.
Great Gould and Field Estates.
The estate of Marshall Field, the
great merchant. has been valued at
more than 500, 900, 900, and this Is con-
sidered conservative estimate. The
stores belonging to the estate In Chi

more than $50,000,000 a year. The

Jay Gould followed the example of
the Vanderbilts and Astors in seeking
to concentrate and conserve his vast
fortune. 1t consisted chiefly of stocks
and bonds of the various corporations
in which he was interested when he
died, 15 years ago. They had at that
time a market value Of $S1.000,000.

largely been increased since then. Az
ter paying small private bequests It
was announced that the rest would be
given away by Mrs. Sage. Before the
will was filed. one estimate of the size
Of the fortune was $60.000.000. This
was declared to be much too low. The
estimate of Wall street was 500, 0,000.-
900. Other estimates since the will
was filed have varied from S63, ,000, 900
to $93,000,000. The balance which
Mrs. Sage will distribute is said to be
more than $75,000,O00.
Americas Richest Widow.
The story Of Mrs. Anne Weightman
Walkers $120.000,000 is not without
its elements of tragedy. Most Of her
fortune came from her father, William
Weightman, of Philadelphia. Starting
as penniless boy in q laboratory, Mr..
Weightman laid the foundation OF his
wealth in the quinine trade during the
civil war and by introducing sugar
coated quinine pills. It was swelled
rapily by real estate investments in
the heart Of Philadelphia, including a
theater, hotels, office buildings, and
business and residential blocks.
His friends were amazed when he
died, leaving his entire fortune, except
for few small bequests, to Mrs. Wal
ker, his daughter.
There were absolutely no restrictions
on her use Of the money. The will
contained no charitable bequests. His
other descendants were practically
ignored in the will. They were the
two sons and five daughters of his
