REDUCES FREIGHT RATES.
Nippon Yusen kasha Begins Fight
for Trade.

for Trade.
Victoria, B. c., Nov. 10.-The Nip
pom Yusen Kaisha has decided to begin
the struggle with the Canadian Pacific
railroad for the premier position in the
carrying trade of the North Pacific.
Since the ruling of the Interstate
Commerce commission, by which ship
companies advanced their rates, the
lines connecting with United States
railroads, and more particularly those
under the United States flag, were
placed at disadvantage. The Cana
dian Pacific railroad naturally took
advantage of its position and declined
to advance its freight rates.
When the conference at Seattle de-
cided to increase the rates, the propos-
ed increases were cabled to Japan,
where meeting Of japanese shipping
interests was called. Advices received
by the Royal Mail steamship Empress
of India were to the effect that the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha withdrew from
this conference and has made general
reduction of about II per cent lower
than the former freight rates. The
japanese steamship company proposes
to bear the burden of the increased
railway charges and will give lower
rate across the Pacific. A reduction
of rs cents per 100 pounds will be
made on silk and other valuable
freights.

Navy Rifemen Take Everything in
Sight in Australia.

Washington, Nov. s. President
Roosevelt has been made acquainted,
through report submitted to the Navy
department by Lieutenant Harm Lam
ing, of some details of splendid work
of the battleship rifle teams in defeat

as strong team as could be put up in
Australia. The navy team of rifemen

The contest with the Melbourne club
was held under very unfavonrable con-
ditions, the score resulting in a total
of /, Ala for the Americans and 1869
for the Australians.
The highest score was made by Cor
poral Farquharson, of the marine corps
of the Connecticut, who made SO out Of
a possible los, and thereby secured for
his vessel the temporary possession of
the Auckland trophy.
At Sydney the fleet rifle team defeat

NEWS NOTES GATHERED FROM
VARIOUS PARTS OF OREGON
WOULD AMEND STATE LAWS.
Attorney General Crawford Suggests
Three Changes.

Attorney General Crawford Suggests
Three Changes.
Salem-In his biennial report to the
legislature, Attorney General Crawford
makes three recommendation concern
ing new legislation:
That the school funds be made sub
ject to the deposit law, so that when
deposited in a bank by the state treas
urer they will be secured by bonds /;
that law be enacted by which titles
to the use of water for irrigation or
power may be definitely ascertained
and protected, and that provision be
made for the registration of legal vot-
ers who may happen to be temporarily
out of the state.
The first measure was shown to be
necessary after the failure of the
Title Guarantee q Trust company
bank, though the fact that there is
but $11 200 in the common school fund
at present indicates no urgent need for
the law at this time.
The purpose of the second measure
is to prevent waste of water and en-
courage development of irrigation en-
terprises.
The third measure was proven ne
cessary when Senator Fulton and Con-
gressmen Hawley and Ellis were COM
PEELED to come from Washington dur
ing a session of congress to register so
that they could become candidates for
reelection.

Aims Blow at Deserters,

Washington, Nov. 7.-An earnest
plea for additional prison accommoda-
tions is made by Captain E. H. Camp
bell, judge advocate general of the
navy, in his annual report. The judge
advocate general also recommends leg
islation to INCREASE from a maximum
of one to two and half years the pc
riod during which deserter from the
navy may be imprisoned. He believes
that such an extension of the penalty
to make it equal to the punishment
provided in the army would effectively
lessen such desertion.

TYPHOID AFTER 10 YEARS.
Long Life of Fever Bacilli Shown in
Case of MIkmaid.

Washington, Nov. 7.-One of the
most remarkable discoveries in medical
history in connection with the source
of the spread of typhoid fever has just
been brought to light as the result of
an investigation by officer of the pub
lie health and marine hospital service
into recent outbreak Of that disease
in Georgetown, or West Washington,
d. G.
The investigation disclosed the fact
that woman mixer at a neighbor-
hood dairy who had typhoid fever IS
fyears ago still throws off virile typhoid
fever bacilli and was the responsible
agent in spreading the disease.
With one exception this is the first
considerable outbreak of typhoid fever
in the United States traced through
milk to such carrier.
A peculiar feature in connection with
the case is that the examination devel-
oped large numbers of typhoid bacilli
although the woman apparently was
enjoying good health.
Surgeon General Wyman says an i'm
portant source of disease has been dis
covered, and one which heretofore has
not been duly recognized.
The case just discovered is deemed
of medical interest to health officers in
tracing obscure sources of typhoid few
er outbreaks.
General Wyman states that this case
establishes the fact that at least 2 per
cent of all the recovered cases of ty-
phoid fever become baclli carriers for
a longer or shorter period, even while
otherwise enjoying good health.

EXHIBITS FOR A Up.
Hood River Will Be Well Represented
at Big Show.


Hood River-W. H. Wehrung, pres-
dent, and M. w. Wisdom, secretary,
of the Oregon commission of the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition, were
here few days ago and addressed a
meeting of the Hood River Commercial
club directors, who have decided to
place county exhibit of 200 boxes Of
apples at the Seattle fair. This is in
addition to 500 boxes of fruit which
the commission purchased for the state
exhibit.
The county exhibit will be made by
the county court and the local CONNER
cial club jointly and will consist of
the finest apples that can be obtained
in the valley. These will be selected
at ance and sent to the commission,
which will place them in cold storage
at the plant which they have erected
on the exposition grounds at Seattle.
1t is the intention to handle the fruit
so as to have a permanent Hood River
county exhibit at the fair during the
entire time it is open, as the fruit that
will be put in cold storage now will
be supplemented with a shipment of
apples as soon as they are in condition
next fall. The county display calls
for an exhibit of 20 boxes and SO
plates, which will be kept replenished
from the stock in cold storage.

TAFT VOTE GROWS.
Oregon Returns viii Give Plurality o
Nearly $4,000.

Portland, Nov. 6.--As official re-
turns come in from the various coun-
ties of the state, Taft's plurality con-
tinues to grow, and it is almost certain
that the first nights estimate of rs, 900
will be verified.
Bryan's vote in each county exceeds
that for Parker four years ago, and
even Taft has in many instances re-
ceived b gger vote than that accord
ed Roosevelt. The November vote
was not so heavy as that cast at the
June election.
The minor parties will likely show a
decrease when the final returns are all
completed. In Lake county, Chafin
received but one vote. Hisgen's vote
in all counties is but trife. The So
cialist vote is not what had been ex-
pected.

Clifton 40---MOreHci il.

On last Saturday night. for the first time in the history of athletics in Clifton, a basket ball team repre- senting Clifton, met the players from Morenci in a fast and interesting game ot basket ball at the local opera house.
 It was easily seen after few min utes of play that Morenci was out classed and could not stand the pace set by the Clifton five. Ramey, Cliff tons big center, started the ball rolling by scoring a basket in the first few minutes of play. On the tOss-up at center he touched the ball off to Garwood, and regaining the ball again on a clever pass, dropped the ball squarely in the basket, SCOT ing the first basket for Clifton amid the applause of the spectators. Mo renci plainly showed d lack of prac- tice and no doubt will make it mach more interesting in the games to fol- low, but Clifton'S players have no fear of the result, and declare that II ICA L4OA V PAeiCNACO ftiAN I~Ah z tiINit signals to working right, they will be harder to catch than ever.
 Harmon, Morenci's star base ball pitcher, played center in the last half and judging by his hard work, he must have had d harder time with Clifton than he experienced ou the diamond last season, but he showed willingness that was COmmendable
 For Clifton, Fnerman played d good steady game scoring seven field goals while Garwood was not far behind with five, although every man on the team played good consistent game and displayed team work. which Was surprising, considering the amount of practice they have had
 After the game the floor was cleared for dancing and in the de- lightful time that followed the Mo reuci boys forgot all about their de- feat, and it was in the Wee small hours before they reached their mountain home.
 The game and dance was a decided success in every way, and judging by the attendance a great interest Is be- ing shown in the game of basket ball, while many pronounced tue dance as the most enjoyable aiT 'ir they have attended for spme time Music was furnished by AdAm'7 or chestra.
