NEWS NOTES GATHERED FROM
VARIOUS PARTS OF OREGON
HORSES FOR HAWAII.
Island Planter Has Buyer in Hannah
Falls Country.

Klamath Falls.-John T, Baker, a
large land owner and influential man
of affairs of the Hawaiian islands, has
been hunting in Klamath county the
past two weeks, and has just ordered
carload of klamath county horses
shipped to his ranch in the islands.
Mr.. Baker came to the United States
with Prince David and a party, ex-
pecting to hunt in the wilds of Ore
gon, Washington and Alaska. On ac-
count of the death of Prince David
in San Francisco all plans were
changed, and Mr.. Baker went back
to Honolulu with the body On his
return to San Francisco the Klamath
country was recommended to him as
excellent hunting grounds near iat
hand He was delighted with his
hunt, and expects to come back next
year with a party of friends.
Henry Straw, a local horse dealer,
has charge of the buying OF a carload
of horses for Mr. Baker, and is to de
liver them at the ranch in Hawaii.

WALNUTS IN HIGH FAV OR.
Hundreds of Acres to Be Planted in
YamhilI County.

McMinnville.-The planting of Eng
lish walnuts in this county will be
done on a grand scale during the
coming season. This year over 1000
acres were planted. A tract of 1000
acres has been plated near Amity and
sold to be planted to walnuts. The
Oak Hill farm, near North Yamhill,
recently sold, has 40 or so acres in
trees, a good portion of them bearing,
and the remainder of the 1916 acres
will be planted to trees. The Jacobs
Slime company, of Portland, has late
ly acquired title to the Riverside or
chards tract lying east of this city,
and comprising 500 acres, which is
plated to sell to walnut planters.
Business and professional men and
the neighboring farmers have set
apart at least 1000 acres for immediate
walnut planting in the vicinity OF
McMinnville, whose name, the wal
nut City is no empty one, since it
will soon have 1900 acres OF walnuts
in its vicinity.

CHINESE AVOID HEAD TAX.
Hundreds Admitted Into Canada on
False Statement.

Ottawa, Ont, Sept. 2S.-A scheme has
Just been laid bare by the controller of
Chinese immigration at Ottawa. which
is believed to be the most elaborately
conceived fraudulent device for effect
ing the Chinese "invasion - of Canada
ever perpetrated.
BY means of this device hundreds of
young Celestials have been flOcking in
at the eastern ports of the Dominion
and escaping the $500 head tax by
passing themselves off as merchants or
other privileged classes. Canada has
thus been victimized through honoring
certificates Of the charge d 'affaircs ad
interim and consul general at the i'm
perial Chinese legation in Mexico.
Statistics in the trade and commerce
department here show that $50 Chinese
immigrants were admitted into Canada
recently at the ports of Montreal and
Halifax alone. without paying the head
tax and that not more than Is Chinese
should have been so favored.

SITUATION MOST SERIOUS.
Unbroken Drouth in East Is Raising
Havoc With industries.

Pittsburg. Sept. 29.-With losses ag-
gregating several million dollars from
forest fires, and heavy damage to crops
and livestock, and the reported loss of
a number of lives due to fighting tim
Der fires; the enforced idleness of thou
sands of workmen owing to suspensions
because of lack of water; the authori-
ties anticipating serious epidemics of
contagious diseases, and many small
streams dried up and practically oblit-
Grated, the drouth of 1908, which has
held western Pennsylvania eastern
Ohio and West Virginia for two months,
remains unbroken. While in the Pitts
burg district the water supply is suffi-
cient to carry on all business, the low
stage of the rivers has caused con
gestion of much coal in this vicinity.
Every available barge and feat has
been loaded with coal, and at present
there are almost 20,000,0O0 bushels in
the Pittsburg harbor
About $4,000 miners employed in the
river mines along the Monongahela val
ley are out Of work.
In all sections of the dry zone pray
ers are offered up daily and these pray
ers will continue until they are an
swered with rain.

IGNORANCE OF SANITATION.
Lower Glasses in Russia Refuse to
Be Vaccinated.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 29.--Since the
beginning of the epidemic there have
been 1868 cases of Asiatic cholera re
ported in Russia and t5102 deaths. In
st. Petersburg alone, since the presence
of the disease was officially admitted
September s, there have been 4,931 cases
and 1871 deaths reported.
The figures with reference to the in
vasion of this city by the disease can
not be relied upon as on a number of
occasions authoritative sources showed
the number of cases and deaths in a
single day to be far in excess of that
announced by the authorities. There is
an appreciable betterment of the sani-
tary conditions and consequent decrease
in the disease as shown by the figures
given out Sunday.
For the "a hours ending at noon the
number of new cases in the city was
PCS and the number of deaths 143, as
compared with 312 new eases and 153
deaths for the previous "a hours.
Difficulty has been experienced in
dealing with the workmen of st. Peters
burg, who with their families comprise
three-fifths of the population for they
were unable and unwilling to comply
with the sanitary precautions. The
ignorance of the lower classes and their
superstition greatly increase the diff
culties of the situation. During the
earlier stages of the epidemic few could
be prevailed upon to undergo preventive
incubation, which is provided free of
charge, but latterly the authorities
have made incubation compulsory in
some quarters of the city.

ABOLISH COLONlST RATES..
Plan Almost Unanimously Approved
by Western Railroads.

Chicago Sept. 2S.-The colonization
of the western country is going to be
materially retarded if railroads be
tween Chicago and the Pacific Coast
carry out a plan which has been ad
vanced by executive officials. A prop
osition has received the approval of
nearly every railroad in the Western
Passenger association to abolish all low
or reduced rates after January l, 1909
This determination has been reached
because of the alarm felt over the re
duction in net passenger revenues of
western roads. This reduction is laid at
the door of reduced rates, and genuine
alarm is felt for the future. Railroad
officials declare that with the 2-cent
rate generally there can be no reduced
rate without passing the margin of
profit.
1t is estimated that western roads
have lost this season several millions
of dollars in passenger revepues, com
pared with what hey would have en-
,joyed had they maintained a minimum
2-cent rate west of Chicago This con
clusion is based upon careful statistics
pltpdICu ny lHt AliOu duu0OJItI IAN
roads, which show that railroads have
carried more passengers than ever, but
at less net revenue than accrued from
smaller movement. This can mean
only one thing, it is said, and that is
the return of minimum 2-cent rate
everywhere.
1t is not expected that this change
can be brought about until the first of
the year, but it now seems certain that.
if the public desires reduced rates, they
can he had only by return to the
Scent basis

TWENTY KILLED
IN TRAIN WRECK
Passenger and Freight Trains Crash
Together in Montana.
Not One in Smoking Car Escaped
Death or Injury-Blinding Snow
Storm Prevented Engineer Seeing
Danger Ahead - Freight Should
Have Been on Siding.

Butte, Mont. Sept 26-In' the
worst wreck in the history of the
Northern Pacific Railroad 20 persons
were killed, 10 seriously injured, sew
eral fatally and about 30 more or less
injured in a collision between passen-
ger train No. 16, known as the east
bound Burlington flyer, and west
bound freight train, at $40 o'clock
Yesterday morning, at siding known
as Youngs Point. about thirty miles
west of Billings. The fast travelling
passenger train crashed into the
freight just entering on the siding dur
ing a binding snow storm, the en-
gineer of the passenger failing to see
the signal flag of the brakeman of the
freight train in time to avert the
crash,
A heavy, wet snow which was fall
ing at the time prevented the wreck
from catching fire, and undoubtedly
held the death list down to the figures
given. Every effort is being made by
the division forces, aided by voun-
teers from Livingston and Billings, to
clear the wreck, and SO far they are
able to prevent further loss of life.
None Of the passengers from the
sleeping cars was injured. The train
was made up of an engine, baggage
car, smoker, a day coach and two
Pullman sleepers.
The efforts to prevent fire were sue
cessful and that horror was saved the
wrecked passengers. On the arrival
of the relief train the injured were
transferred around the wreck and
taken to Billings.
lhe express car was raised over the
platform of the smoker. and swept
superstructure, seats and passengers
off. Not a passenger in this car es-
capped death or injury. The other pas
sengers escaped with cuts and bruises.
The scenes around the smoker were
beyond description heads, bodies, legs
and arms being interviewer with
broken seats and equipment In one
place tve bodies were packed on top
OF each other. In another seven had
to be pulled apart 1t was almost i'm
possible to succor the injured without
trampllng on the dead.
Railroad men, while refusing to be
quoted officially or allowing their
names to be used because of the reg
ulations of the road in connection
with publicity as to wrecks, intimate
that the freight train was stealing
time, that it had no orders to proceed
to Ioungs Point and should have
waited at Park City, about six miles
from the scene of the wreck, for the
passenger train. This is supposed to
explain why the Burlington train was
travelling about so miles an hour past
the siding.
