OREGON NEWS.

An army of mosquitoes is inhabiting
the Columbia river basin of Oregon
and Washington. In multitudious
numbers they arrived early this week
and already have wrought no end of
real trouble in addition to the con-
tinual annoyance of their visits.
An Oregon City report says that
Math Jancigaj. an Austrian laborer,
about midnight effected entrance to
the room of 16-year-old Mary Schmark-
er and sat the girl to death. Jancigaj
then made his way out the window
and, jumping to the ground. escaped.
AS the result of the determined cru
SADIE of the city and county medical so
ciety at Portland to stamp out quack-
cry and criminal practice from the
profession, petitions were brought be-
fore the state medical board to revoke
the licenses of w. T. Esen and DR..

with having performed criminal oper-
atoms. A number of other cases are
under investigation and may be
brought before the board at any time

Great Northern Must Paw.

Judge Lewis has filed in the district
court his decision in the case of the
state of Minnesota against the Great
Northern Railroad company, in which
the state sought to compel the COM
pany to pay the per cent gross earn
ings tax under the state law of 1908.
The railway company had paid the
3 per cent gross earnings tax, but
claimed it was exempt from the per
cent tax under an agreement with the
territorial legislature of date of
May %, 1857, by which it was to pay
per cent tax in lieu of all other
taxes of the kind by the state. The
railroad, in territorial days, was
known as the Minnesota & Pacific.
Since then the road has built many
lines and acquired others.

Chicago Helps Sick.

Ia save babies lives the city coun-
Gil of Chicago has made special ap-
preparation of $4,000.
Intestinal diseases among infants,
caused chiefly by the hot weather,
have been of such frequent occurrence
in Chicago that according to relative
figures the deaths of babies due to
these complaints this year will reach
the startling total of 31,414. Alarmed
at the prospect of this wholesale
slaughter of the innocents, the council
authorized the transfer of $4,000 to
pay 100 physicians, who will be en-
ployed by the city to disseminate in
formation concerning the causes and
prevention of summer sickness among
babies.

MONTANA SQUIBS.

Two large forest fires are burning
iercely west of Saltese and force of
about so men has been engaged in
fighting the fire. 1t is believed that
large area of fine timber will be de-
stroyed before the fires can be sub
dued. Supervisor Koch of the forest
service has telegraphed to Washington
asking for an increase in the forestry
force during the summer so that an
adequate force will be on hand to com
bat the fires that are sure to visit the
forests during this time of year.
The wool sales made in Billings
show conclusively the wisdom of the
growers who refused to accept the
price offered during the beginning of
the season, and by holding their clips
they have profted accordingly. Prices
ranged from 1870 to 1890. The price
last mentioned is said to be the high
est paid for wool this season in Bill
lings. The big clips, those of Herman
Lehfeldt and ohm II. Schroeder, are
not yet disposed of.
The assessed valuation of Fergus
county, as reported by the assessor, is
over $10,000,000, a gain of $1,000, 900
over last year. Cattle show a falling
off and it is expected that, with the
rapid settlement, due chiefly to the
coming of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul and the Billings & Northern,
the gain in this class of property will
be even more marked this year.
Six woolbuyers, representing big
Boston houses, are at Lewistown look
ing for wool; buyers and sellers can
not agree as to prices. The woolgrow-
ers insist that the best of the Judith
basin clip should bring Is cents a
pound. 1t is estimated that about half
the clip of the state, something like
$4,000, 900 pounds, has now been sold.
All wool goes unbaled this season, for
the first time in years.
Sixteen arrests have been made at
Culbertson in connection with the muir
der of John A. Hayes and his 11-year-
old daughter, as a result of a quarrel
over a squatter's claim which had
been located by Walter Long and later
taken up by Hayes, on the ground that
Long had abandoned the claim. AT
the inquest Mrs. Hayes positively
identified Walter Long and his brother
Milo as among the attacking party.

CHINESETRYSUIC|
WERE SAILORS UNDER VERY
BRUTAL CAPTAIN.
For Eight Months They Worked With
out Pay-Treated Like Dogs, They
Tried to Escape-Two Were Drown
ed-Rather Die Than Go Back to
Sea With the Cruel Captain.

Death followed mutiny Saturday on
the ship Straphyre of Glasgow, when
IL of, her Chinese crew, driven to des-
peration by the brutalities of Captain
John Gum, attempted suicide by
drowning in the Erie basin, near New
York, where the ship lies Two people
persisted.
The Chinese's story of maltreatment
is like a yarn of the olden days when
the bosun's cat" and the captain s
marlinspike were more used than now
to keep order before the mast Shipped
at Shanghai IL months ago. the crew
say they have not had a dollar of pay
nothing but blows and abuse since
that day, their eight months contract
having expired, and they sought to
leave the ship they describe as living
hell.
When the Straphyre arrived in New
York and was laid up in Erie basin the
trouble began. One and all of the
Chinese demanded their wages and
they were refused. Then they desert
ed. They leaped the bulwarks and,
trembling with fear, ran down the
wharf amid hail of bullets from the
Waterman. Then the police clubs
came into play and the Chinese were
driven back to the vessel. Then came
the Chinese consular ENJOYS in the
port. They heard their countrymen s
story and they could do nothing be-
yond advising them to remain aboard
claims
But the II months of no pay and
the alleged vengeance of the captain
on their return drove the already des
perate Chinese to madness.
AS evening fell the Straphyre, with
cargo of coal for the United States
warship fleet in the Pacific, started
to pull out of the Erie basin for Sa
moa, the crisis came and from a doz
en- places ON the lower decks the mad
dened crew leaped into the sea.
Within minute police patrol boats
and life savers were at the work OF
rescue. Struggling and moaning, nine
of the Chinese were dragged out OF
the water, all trying desperately tc
hold their heads beneath the surface
and obtain the relief they sought in
death.
Two of the crew fought the police
like wildcats and, though twice nearly
rescued, tore loose from their cap
tors and persisted.
OF the Chinese saved, some were
nearly exhausted, and as they were
dragged aboard the police launch were
laid out in a row, while the water
was worked out of their bodies by
the bluecoats. One and all declared
they would sooner die than take the
same trip aboard the Straphyre, anC
that were they forced to do so every
one of the crew would destroy him
self before the vessel was "a hours
at sea.

from every viewpoint the picnic was a
great success, as more than 600 per-

Robert Roman, the desperate bandit
who attempted single handed to hold
up a Great Northern passenger train
near Naples, Idaho, recently, and was
shot by brave passenger, may re-
cover from his wounds. That A. j.
Kent Boomers Ferry, is the man who
shot him is the version given by Rob-
ert Roman, the wounded bandit, who
is in a hospital at Standpoint with a
bullet hole through his lungs. Con-
ductor A. M. Matthews also opened
fire on the robber, who was evidently
alone He claims that he had no ac-
completes. The wound will probably
not prove fatal.
Deputy Sheriff Sutherland of Wal
lace made return to Judge Boomer on
an order directing him to seize slot
machines. The return shows that the
deputy seized all the slot machines
named in the order, IL in number, and
Judge Boomer issued an order for the
destruction of same.
