NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
IDEAL CONDITIONS.
Lake County Has Open Winter and
Early Spriog


Lakeview-After the most open
winter that southeastern Oregon has
ever experienced this section Is now
enjoying a spring that insures wealth
to her people. At no time during the
past winter did the thermometer in
Lake county register a temperature
below zero, and most OF the time
balmy spring-like weather prevailed.
There were but few flurries of snow,
and these melted away before warm
sun. The result was that but little
feeding was required, stock general
ly finding excellent range during the
entire winter, and the end of winter
finds sufficient feed on hand to tide
the stock interests through a hard
winter, even il no hay should be put
up this season.
On the desert sheep men have re-
ported an ideal winter, with just
enough snow to furnish water for
stock, and with plenty of feed to put
sheep in excellent condition. AS the
vast desert lying east of Goose Lake
Valley is the feeding-ground for the
thousands of head of sheep that con-
stitute large portion of the wealth
of Lake county, a winter like the one
just ended means an addition to the
profit column.
Since the new year began there
has been but little rain and practi-
cally no snow. Crops Of every kind
were put in early, and already there
Is an excellent growth in everything
that depends upon spring weather.

BLOW UP ANOTHER TRAIN.
Attempt to Dynamite Oregon Short
Line Thwarted.

BUTTE, Mont, May 5.-What ap-
pears to have been an attempt to wreck
freight on the northbound Oregon
Short Line similar to that which befell
the Burlington train Friday night, was
thwarted Sunday by John Holan, who
was walking the track on his way to
Melrose.
When about six miles this side of
Melrose, Holan, according to his own
story, discovered Is sticks of dynamite
in small hole Immediately under the
rail. Holan threw the explosives into
the river near by, and fastened to no
tify the Melrose station agent. When
the northbound train arrived it was held
back until thorough investigation
could be made.
The station agent at Merose tele-
phoned the local authorities, and the
latter are inclined to give credence to
Holan's story in view of the theft re-
cent? y of quantity of powder from one
of the mines of the district About
seven sticks of dynamite were found on
the Short Line tracks.
The would-be dynamiter was arrested
and confessed his part in the plot.

COMPLAINS OF RATES,
Eugene Mill Finds Railroad Tariffs
Have Doubled.

Salem-J. M. Shelley, of Eugene, man
ager of the Eugene Mill & Elevator Co.,
has protested against recent raise of
nearly 100 per cent in certain local
freight rates in that part of the state
He encioses shipping receipt showing
that he pays a rate of % cents per 100
pounds on wheat and oats from Eugene
to Yoncalla, Al miles, which rate, he
says, is excessive, unjust and unreason-
able. Prior to January l, 1907, the rate
was IA cents. The rate for little long
er distance, as, for instance, from Eu-
gene to Roseburg, is now 81 cents,
whereas the former rate was Is cents
This is an increase of over 100 per cent.
The railroad commission will investi-

Score Are Pr. bal Dead at Fort
Wavre, Indiana


FORT WAYNE, Ind, May 5,-Teu
known dead, many missing and l3 seri
ously injured is the result of a fire that
destroyed the new Aveina Hotel, Fort
Wayne's principal hostelry, Sunday.
Chief of Police Anckenbruck said
that he believes 20 bodies were still in
the ruins.
The entire interior of the building is
smodering heap of ruins, and how
many dead are concealed beneath the
debris can only be conjectured. The
hotel register was consumed by fire, and
there are no accurate means of deter.
mining who are missing.
The complete destruction of the in.
terror of the hotel makes the work of
recovering bodies difficult task. A
confused heap of charred wood, bricks
and twisted girders is piled up be-
tween the bare walls to the second
story. Piece by piece this must be re-
be completed. Some of the bodies
taken out are mangled and charred be.
yond recognition.
Infantry Company D and Battery D
of the National Guard are on duty, and
aiding the fire and police forces to clear
away the debris
The hotel was erected so years ago,
and the woodwork was dry as tinder.
1t burned like matchwood, and within a
few minutes from the time the fire was
discovered the whole of the hotel was a
mass of flames that filled the corridors
and rooms with suffocating clouds of
smoke that laid fiery barriers across all
means of escape save by the windows.

head trout eggs were brought in

READY TO RECEIVE FLEET.
San Is Franciscog GaiIy Decorated In
Honor Of Occasion.

SAN FRANCISCO, May SIN eager
expectation San Francisco is awaiting
the arrival of the Atlantic battleship
fleet. The meats are baked, the house
is in order and the feast is set. The
members of the household are clothed
in their best raiment, and are busy with
the final arrangement of bow and other
adornment. Fluttering flags, navy pen
nants and streamers, and RearAdmiral
Evans picture are everywhere. Mar
ket street is a long vista of bunting in
the National colors, and flags waving
from white poles so feet high, every 100
feet, one large and a cluster of five
smaller flags flying from each one and
terminating in the huge red, white and
blue shield on the tall ferry tower. On
each side of the tower, stretched on
long wire cables, are the words, "Wel-
come to the Atlantic Fleet in the
Kaleidoscope colors of the international
navy signal code flags and pennants.
while on Telegraph Hill the word
Welcome' stands in letter Is feet
high, which can be read for many miles,
and which at night will be illuminated
by $500 electric lights. Festoons of
incandescent lights run on both sides of
the principal streets and prominent
buildings are outlined in electric bulbs,
furnishing at night a most magnificent
illumination.
It is estimated that there will be be.
tween 100000 and 100000 people in San
Francisco on the day that the fleet ar
rives. The suburban cities adjacent to
the bay and towns within a radius of
so miles will practically be depopulated,
and will contribute 100000, while the
railroad companies estimate that they
will bring at least 100000 from points
beyond as far east as Omaha, and from
British Columbia on the north, to the
international boundary on the south.
