room occupied by the insane woman
and entered with no though of dan

She locked the door behind her as
she entered Immediately she was set
upon by the maniac and borne to

MAKING GOOD IN S. c.
Ex-Astorian R. c. F. Astbury Lining.
up Professionally and Successfully

The Central Point Herald just at
hand, has the following pleasant item
touching the well-known ex-county
surveyor of Clatsop county:
At special meeting of the council
last Thursday evening Mr.. R. c. F.
Astbury was employed as city engin-
eer for the purpose Of surveying the
town, to establish street and side
walk grades, street lines water and
sewer systems, etc The intention
IS to have all the necessary engineer
ing work done at the same time not
only in the interest of economy, but
that a proper basis be laid for all
necessary municipal improvements
which the future growth of the town
may demand.
Mr.. Astbury has been for num-
Der of years county engineer Of Clat-
sop county and has been actively
engaged in practicing his profession
IN that section Of the state. He re-
Gently purchased a valuable orchard
on Rogue River near Gold Ray and
is now resident Of this valley. He
expects to begin work here about
July 10th, and by September 1st the
work Of laying permanent sidewalks
and making permanent street i'm
proyements will be under way. Many
property owners on Pine street have
been waiting for months to have
grade established so they can put
IN other Improvements.
Besides surveying and mapping the
town Mr. Astbury is also retained to
report on the best method for secur-
ing water supply and furnishing an
estimate Of the probable cost as
basis for calling an election to vote
bonds for that purpose, and it now
looks as though the long deferred
question Of water works will soon be

THE WHITE HOUSE DINNER
Explanation of Its Purpose--It is Stated That President Will Probably Not Embar- rass the New Administra-
 ton With a Labor Program.

Washington. Nov. 1S.-Further con ferences at the White House today be- tween President Roosevelt and men prominent in labor matters made the attitude of the administration toward proposed labor legislation a question of keen discussion in Washington to- night.
 Among those who saw the president were Commissioner of Labor Neil, United States Attorney Stimson of New York, Edward J. Garvan of New York. attorney for labor unions and Charles H Sherrill attorney of New York. all of whom attended the labor dinner at the White House last even ing.
 It is learned on the highest author ity that the object Of the president in giving the dinner to the friends of labor and in holding subsequent con ferences was primarily to bring about a better understanding between repre- sentatives of the government and the labor leaders and impress upon the la bor interests of the country the dis position of the administration to re- ceive it's representatives in conference upon an equality with all others The desire of the president. it was explain ed. was to have the laboring man feel

EMPIRES FOREIGN POLICY
Not to Be Trusted Alone to Emperor and His Chan cellor--There is to be in the Future a Complete Par liamentary Government.

Berlin, Nov. 1S.-An official decla- ration made today by Count von Hohenthal, the Saxon minister of for eign affairs, in the lower house of the Saxon parliament to the effect that the foreign affairs committee of the Iundesrath, or federal council should meet Oftener in order to sup ervise the acts of the emperor and the chancellor, apparently represents the joint opinion of Bavaria, Wurtenburg and Saxony. These governments have agreed mutually to avail themselves of the foreign affairs committee of the bundesrath in order to share in the direction of foreign affairs
 Speaking today of the existing sit uation, Dr. Theodore Earth. the rad icai leader in the reichstag, said: This is only the first step in what will be the prolonged political edUca- tion of the German people for full parliamentary government. The situ- ation is confused. An effort will be made. he said, to perpetuate pre- cisely the same relations between the crown and the people as existed be- fore. Assurances, such as those given yesterday. will quiet public opinion for the moment, or until some fresh occasion or action arises"
 Today was observed as a national day of penitence and prayer Clergy linen in many of the state churches in the morning services thanked heaven that the gathering of political clouds had disappeared.

ACQUISITION ISSUED
 T1R FUGITIVE WITNESS
A Man Claimed to Have Been Bribed to Leave San Francisco.

Sacramento. Cal, Nov. Ex-Governor Gillett this evening granted the appli- cation of William J. Burns, special agent of the San Francisco district at torney's office, in which extraditiOn was asked for Alexander S. Latham, formerly Abe Ruefs chauffeur. La tham is now under arrest in Portland, oregon and charged in San Francisco, according to the application for the re- quisition, with having accepted bribes for the purpose of keeping out of the way in the Tirey L. Ford trial last January
 Burns charges in his application for the requisition, that Latham is an i'm portant witness in the graft cases and after being served with a subpoena left the jurisdiction of the San Francisco courts and was aided in doing this by the payment of $1, ,000 by one Luther w. Brown and has since been in hiding.
 Latham is wanted to give testimony in the Ruef case, as he was the chauf- feur who drove the machine from the Broderick barns at the time it is al- legged Ruef received money from Tirey l.. Ford and was afterwards driven to Ruefs apartments and from there to the Western National bank where Ruef had a safe deposit box.

that he had a right to present his grievances and demands, and to dem onstrate that neither labor leader nor millionairs need come to the back door of the White House at midnight in or der to have a conference with the president.
 The supreme court of the United States and the executive officials were invited to be present merely to enable them to learn from the leaders direct what the latter regarded as their needs. The occasion is said to have afforded a free exchange of ideas and to have been of Illuminating value" to the president.
 While he may not adopt a labor program at the close of his adminis- tration, lest he might thereby embar- rass his successor, it is believed he will set forth his views on the needs of labor in his annual message to con- gress or in a special labor message submitted subsequently,.
 two days are said to have brought out more plainly than ever before the de- sire of the labor element to eliminate law suits in collecting damages under the employers liability law. It has been found. the labor leaders claim, that law suits result in benefit to the lawyers only.

CHINESE ENGAGE
 IN RECLAMATION
Taking Back Territory Hitherto occu-
 pied by Portugal.

Honk Kong, Nov. 1S.-Later advices from Macao say that the Chinese con tinue to insist that Portugal has prac- tically made renunciation of it's sOv- ereignty and have raised the Chinese flag over the colony and are levying taxes. The authorities are preparing to resist Portugars claims. by force if necessary and are installing a wireless telegraph system near the peninsula.
 report from Lisbon that the POrtu- guese government has decided to send a number of warships to Macao is not given credience by the Chinese who claim that only the gunboat Patria is coming. It is probable the matter will be made the subject of a conference between the Chinese and Portuguese authorities.
 The natives are said to be ready for an outbreak against the Portuguese and in their attitude they are being supported, it is declared. by Chinese of ficials.

10 AUGMENT WATER SUPPLY
An Arrangement Between the Southwestern s. & L. Co. and the Reclamation Service Believed to be In the Interest of Both.

A deed will be filed this morning with the country recorder, transferring from the Detroit Trust company to the Southwestern Sugar and Land com pany. an unincumbered title to S1S3 acres of land, all under the Arizona canal and signed to the Salt River Valley Water Users association. and the beet sugar factory at Glendale, the whole property being valued at $1,- 500. 900.
 This is the document that finally emerges from the litigation against the old Eastern Sugar company and the filing of claims against that cor poration, and which represents the transfer of title to the entire property of the old company to the ownership of the corporation now represented and controlled by J. R. McKinnie and R. P Davie. It makes the legal wind ing up of the historic failure and the legal inauguration of what promises at this time to be one of the greatest sugar making successes in the west It puts the new company also. in a pO- sition to make it's agreed settlement with the farmers.
 While this is primarily of interest to the company it is good news to the entire people of the valley who are now surprised that the slate is washed and that the sugar beet industry To- cally is fully ard completely in the hands of men who can and will make it a success. They have burned the last bridge behind them and are now here beyond recall. to win or lose. and they are not the sort of men. who have made habit of losing. They have had some temporary reserves at times in one place or another but they have never given up a ship as hopeless and have always brought it into port safe ly before turning it over to another crew. At this time the Salt River val ley beet sugar ship is sailing as smoothly as anyone could wish, for, the rigging is well trimmed and there isn't leak in the hull.
 Speaking of leaks, suggests water and it is timely to add another chapter to the water phase of the local enter prise, to mention another precaution taken by the factory management to insure an adequate water supply dur ing the sugar making season. This protection is found in q contract that hsa just been signed between Mir. Da- vie representing the sugar company and L. c. Hill representing the re- clamation service As the result of it one. or possibly two reservoirs con nected, will be built by the sugar com pany near the Arizona canal and be- tween it and the factory with a ca pacity of 26G acre feet. These will be connected with the canal and filled from it in time of abundant water supply before the sugar making sea son begins, to be drawn upon by the factory in event it is needed That protects the factory and the reservoirs will also be utilized by the reclama- ton service if desirable during the nine months of the year when the fac tory is not operating. as a small aux Hilary storage facility. Provision has also been made by the reclamation

AN ALMOST B0NsH PRIDE
Now He is Amazed at Being Charged With Crime Be- cause He Sold Oil to the People Cheaper Than Any body Else Could.

New York, Nov. 1S.-Relating his story with the air of a country gentle man of indly mein, engaging a host of friends with incidents of days long past, John D. Rockefeller. president of the Standard oil company, reviewed for more than two hours today, the history of the early oil trade and the development of the company that grew into the present so-calied oil trust.
 MT. Rockefeller was a witness for the defense in the suit to dissolve the Standard. prosecuted by the United States government and his appearance at the hearing before Judge Franklin Ferris. the referee, brought a large crowd to the customs building.
 In a manner that indicated the pleas ure with which he was about to tell of it. MT Rockefeller spoke of his start in the oil business and how, under ad- verse conditions, that business grew to the proportions of the Standard Oil company of ohio, with a capitalization of 1.OO0,0OO.
 MT Rockefeller's eyes sparkled as he
  ton and he spoke of the million dollar capitalization with almost boyish en- thusiasm.
 ''It seemed very large to us who be- gan with only S4OOO in 1882" he said.
 The development of ROckefeller's tes- timony today which carried him to the organization of the Standard oil com pany of ohio, indicated that one line of the defense would be that the Stan dard oil company is not the result of an aggressive policy to gain the mast cry of the trade, as charged, but the natural outcome of the economical eX- agencies the oil industry demanded.
 During a brief recess this afternoon Mir Rockefeller talked to reporters on the Standards Growth. saying: What a wonderful thing it all has been-the growth of this business. It all seems like dream to me and now I am ac- cused of doing the very wicked thing

service for the entire protection of the farmers to whom the water be- longs, so that not one drop of it shall be taken from their lands when need ed. The plan will hurt nobody and will aid the facory project by further insuring an ample water supply when needed at the expense of nobody eX- cept the factory people, as shall be herewith explained.
 In addition to the reservoirs above referred to and which will be situated some distance from the factory, two or three miles perhaps, another reservoir will be built adjacent to the factory to be filled from those first mentioned and to be the immediate supply from which the water is to be pumped when used. The water turned into the up- per reservoir will be measured by the reclamation officials and charged to the factory. The factory in turn af- ter using the water will eXpel it into a lateral that runs by the company s grounds. adding to it from the ten wells that will be in operation at the factory, the amount of the shrinkage due to the factory processes, to evap- oration and to seepage. The water will then pass on through the laterals to farms below entitled to it for irriga- tion purposes. There will not be loss to the farmers either in time of supply or in amount, and in event of a short age the factOrys supply from other sources, this little project might prove a very timely salvation
 There is another feature of the con tract also that does not amount to much but might prove to be worth while to some of the farmers below in dry season. A certain quantity of the water used in the factory be- comes impregnated with lime. This until more is known about it. will not bs turned into the irrigation ditches but will be replaced by the pumped water. should it's original source be the government ditch. That is for the req son that lime water is deleterious to some lands. while to others it is bene- ficial. If it shall be found that the lands below the factory require or will be benefited by lime water. whatever the supply at the factory is, will be turned over for the benefit of these lands, not being considered in the above calculations.

St. Petersburg. Nov. 1S.-Austria- Hungary has formally notified Russia of her precautionary military measures on the Servian frontier which include the partial mobilization of the Fifteenth army corps.
