CHILD ALONE FOUR DAYS
WITH HIS DEAD FATHER

Victoria, B. c., Nov. 16-Alone in
the house for four days with the
dead body of his father is the sad
tale of a little six-year-old boy that
comes from the Mass River, in the
northern part of this province.
white man named Haines, who
was married to an Indian woman,
was the unfortunate who met death
under such strange circumstances
Haines' wife had gone on a visit to
her people, who lived some distance
up the river, leaving the little boy
with his father. During her absence
Haines' boat got adrift, and the man
swan out into the ice-cold waters
to recover 1t.
He caught cold and, finding he
was a very sick man, cooked up a
quantity of food and told his little
boy that he was sick and was going
to sleep for a long time and that he
must not be frightened. The lad was
told to cover his fathers face with
a cloth when he found he was asleep
and not to disturb him and, as there
was lots of food, he was not to both
er but to eat all he wanted when he
was hungry, and the mother would
be home again in short time.
Haines died and the little boy was
alone in the cabin for four days with
the dead body of his father before
any one reached the cabin.

Treatment Kills Grain.

Walla Walla-Hundreds of acres
of wheat in the eastern part of the
county which were seeded early in
the season with wheat washed in q
strong chemical preparation and
soaked in vitrol, will have to be re-
seeded before a crop is harvested
Notwithstanding there has been ex-
cellent weather for growing purposes
for the past few weeks the seed
which was sown has not sprouted and
investigation reveals the fact that the
life germ of the cereal has been de-
stroyed. 1t is believed the vitrol
and washing given the grain was toe
severe and in that way the germ was
killed.
1t was thought that by an extra
heavy treatment of the grain, smut
which has been so prominent on
wheat for the past few seasons could
be completely eradicated

TRIES TO KILL HENEY
REJECTED JUROR ATTEMPTS TO
STAY PROSECUTOR IN
COURTROOM.
Morris Haas, the Assassin, Mysteri-
iously Secures Pistol in Jail and
Commits Suicide.

San Francisco, Nov. 16.-The con-
dition of Francis ]. Heney, who was
shot and seriously wounded in the
crowded courtroom by Morris Haas,
an ex-convict, is making an excellent
progress on the road to recovery. He
passed a comfortable night, sleeping
most Of the time.
The shooting occurred during a
brief recess in the third trial of
Abraham Ruef on the charge of
bribery, which is now in its 18th
week. With uniformed policemen in
the hall, half a dozen of the prose-
cution's special detectives within a
few feet. one of them detailed espe-
cially as his bodyguard to see that
no attempt was made upon his life,
and several court bailiffs and at
taches scattered about, the agrees
i've special prosecutor was shot in
sight of 500 persons.
The bullet fired by Morris Haas
at Mr.. Heney was removed from the
muscles of the lower left maxillary,
where it was located by means of the
X-ray. The operation was success
fully performed. Mr.. Heney bore
the ordeal well and is reported to be
resting quietly, showing no Ill effects
from the operation.
The suicide of Haas, who killed
himself with a pistol concealed about
his person, is the subject OF much
discussion and the police authorities
are investigating how Hass was able
to conceal the weapon with which he
took his life, after being searched
two or three times. Two theories
are advance, one was that he had the
pistol hidden in his shoe from the
time he attempted to kill Mr.. Heney,
and it was overlooked by the police;
the other theory, the one that the
District Attorneys office holds, is
that the pistol was passed to Haas by
some interested person while he was
in custody.

Roundup of Bison Fails.

Missoula, Mont, Nov. 15.-The
strenuous work of the past two
months on the Flathead Reservation
in rounding up and corralling the
$50 bison of the Pablo herd, pur-
chased by the Canadian government
has come to naught and there will
be no shipment of the animals to
Canada this year.
Despite all the precautions that
had been taken to insure the success
of the drive, the enclosure into which
the buffalo had been driven prepare
tory to loading them into cars at
Rayalli proved insecure and the herd
is now roaming at will on the reser-
yation

NEW HEAD OF NAVY
Metcalf Out of Sympathy With the
Administration.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Ill health
Is the ostensible reason of Secretary
Metcalf's withdrawal from the Cab
met, but persons in Washington who
think they know say the resignation
has been pending for a week; that 1t
was not to be offered without some
heartburning and that his i'll health
was only a perfunctory reason. AS
sistant Secretary Newberry was APP
pointed Secretary.
1t is reported that friction between
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Metcalf developed from the time OF
the recent Newport naval conference
on the battleship designs. Ever since
the naval controversy developed last
winter Metcalf has sided with the
Bureaucrats.

PRAISE GIVEN RAILROADS.

Declare Country's Amazing Develop
ment Is Due Largely to Carriers.
The work of the railroads in in de-
veloping the West was highly praised
at the meeting of the Trans Mississippi
Congress in San Francisco by J. G.
Stubs, director of traffic for over 49,
600 miles of Hartman railroads. His
subject was, Transportation" and he
spoke at the request of e. H. Harri-
man.
The speaker went into the relation Of
railroads to the work of developing
Mississippi country very fully,
and showed how the big transportation
companies had been doing work along
the lines mapped out by the congress
for many years.
DR.. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president
of the University of California, spoke
on "West of the Mississippi River
what does it mean?" He said a great
future is opening out before the trans
Mississippi country in general and Cali
fornia in particular.
Col. Fred w. Fleming Of Kansas City
took for his subject western Insur-
ance," while Gov. Cutler of Utah and
former Governor Pardee of California
both paid attention to ''The conserva-
ton of natural resources"
The delegates were greatly impressed
with the work of conservation that has
already been done in Utah and Califor-
MIA as outlined by the speakers and
warmly applauded Gov. Cutters re-
marks as to the prominent part Presi-
dent Roosevelt has taken in forward
ing the work in all parts of the coun-
try.
Attorney General Dickson of Colora-
do. speaking on the topic, Irrigation
and disposition of public lands" drew
the attention of the meeting to the i'm
portance of guarding government lands
from too free distribution.
James ]. Callbreath, secretary of the
American mining congress, talked on
the conservation of mineral resources,
and Frank Short of Fresno, Cal, dis
cussed the relation of the natural re-
sources of the country to it's social and
political conditions.

EUROPE'S WAR CLOUD.
Muss in the Balkans Has Served to
Greatly Excite the Powers.

1t is a long time since Europe has
had anything as exciting as the Bull
garian lnuss. Turkey had just begun
business under its constitution, and
Hon. Abe Hamid had begun to get used
to the sight of his subjects and quit
wearing sheet iron Innings in his bloom
ers. There was some prospect that the
army and navy might get a few years
overdue back pay, and the ladies of
the Zenana were figuring on a few new
Paris gowns and high-heeled slippers.
Everything was sailing along smoothly
when Prince Ferdinand suddenly got
the bit in his teeth and ran away with
the whole outfit. His independence
party movement has set all Europe wor-
rying.
Austria has announced her intention
of annexing the provinces of Bosnia
and Herzegovina, and as Cousin Will
helm is backing up this little land grab
it is pretty likely to go through. Italy
is mad because Austria is seizing a ter
ritory largely peopled by Italians. Rus
STA is mad on general principles. Tur-
key is busy trying to thrash naughty,
naughty Ferdinand, and Austria is I'M
opposed. There is a demand for a con-
gress of the signatories to the Berlin
treaty to decide what shall be done,
now that Austria has violated the in
tegrity of Turkey, but students of Eu-
ropean politics fear that such a meeting
would result in trouble
However, it is not believed that war
will result unless the progressive ele-
ment among the Turks feels that some
thing must be done to prove that a
new era has dawned in Turkey. The
chief danger apparently is that Russia
and perhaps certain other countries of
Europe will demand something to COM
pensate them for the increased strength
of Austria and it's allies. Further. the
fury Of the Servians, at the growing
prestige of their old rivals, the Bulga-
rians, may lead to armed attacks along
the Bulgarian or Austrian frontier.
The Bulgarians of Macedonia who,
opposing Greece an one side and Tur-
key on the other, long have sought to
come under the political domination
of Sofia, doubtless will take new hope
from the formation of an Independent
nation ruled by GEAR of the Bulgari-
ans" Only a war of conquest against
Turkey could join them to the new
Bulgarian kingdom. The Bulgarian
army is remarkably efficient for it's
size, but the staying power of the
Turks has been abundantly demon
strated.
Russia's wish for new conference
Of the powers which signed the treaty
of Berlin to modify that instrument
seems to be generally shared by the
governments of Europe. The present
feeling at Paris and London is that the
emperor of Germany, by encouraging
Francis Joseph and Ferdinand in their
daring course has scored heavily
against the new western alliance form
edy by King Edward. Still, it is prob
able that the whole matter will end
merely in peaceful diplomatic pas
sages.

NEW YORK.

Although trade reports are somewhat
irregular in character. owing largely TO
varying weather conditions in different
sections of the country and uncertainties
caused by impending elections, the gen
eral undertone is toward sustained inn
provement.
Country trade has been comparatively
quiet, because the farmers have been TAX
ing advantage of the ideal weather to
complete their harvesting. However, the
heavy marketing of crops has been for
an increased railway tonnage and i'm
proved collections considerably, while ex-
ports of wheat are heavy.
