EXPOSITION NOT POSTPONED.
Alaska Yukon Fair VIII be Held
June 1 TO October is. 1909.

Seattle, Jan. Slowing to a
slight rumor that the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition is going to be post
poned caused by the recent financial
furry, the executive committee of
the 1909 fair has passed the follow
ing resolution: 1T is the unani-
nous sense Of the members of the
executive committee that the Alas
ka- Yukon Pacific exposition be held
at the place and time hitherto plan
ned-Seattle, U. s. A., from June 1
to October Is, 1909"
The contract for another large ex-
hibit palace, the agricultural build
ing, has been let for $S1,S30. Six
of the main buildings will soon be
under way. The manufactures build
ing is progressing rapidly.
The executive committee an
nounces that there is plenty of mon
ey on hand with which to carry on
the work and that money for stock is
coming in all the time.
Word received from Washington,
D. c., from Vice President John H.
McGraw, Director of Exploitation
Henry E. Reed indicates that con-
gress is looking with favor on the
exposition. The appropriation bill
will soon come up for consideration.

lotted to II.

1.-The supreme court has decided
that the employers liability law is
unconstitutional because It's terms

intrastate commerce as well as in

Upon a substantial majority the
court holds that congress has pow

Sand Shows G,nd les,

When the Portland Commercial
club offered 500 for a certain kind
of sand L. .Schaffer who lives in Ba-
ker City and has a ranch near Pleas
ant valley remembered that a bed
of sand was located on his premises
which he believed would show the
virtue demanded. He made trip
to Pleasant valley, secured samples
of the sand and had it assayed Yes-
terday he informed the Herald that
1t showed 81 Ia silica. The sand
desired by the commercial club must
show 9S per cent. but according to
Mr.. Schaffer's views there is no such
sand in the country and the standard
was merely placed that nigh so that
the best oregon affords would be ex-
plotted. He has forwarded a ship

rates to be charged this year by the
Oregon Short Line for the Yellow
stone trip.
The rates unquestionably will be
cheaper-but in this way: The charge
for the trip to. through and from the
park will include at least two more
side trips for the tourist after the
park is reached than have been here
tofore included in the schedule in
effect on the Oregon Short Line trips.
Just what these additional trips will
be has not been determined upon as
yet. says Mr., Burley.
"It has not been decided whether
or not the charge will be lessened any
in dollars and cents though it may
be. Our present plan is to charge the
same rate we have been charging in
the past for the trip and give the
tourists mere sightseeing and side
trips for the same money"

Umatilla county sheepmen who use
in the Wenaha reserve as summer
range. are justly indignant at the ac-
tion of Supervisor j. II. Schmltz of
the Wenaha reserve, in permitting
the sheep territory on the west side
from April to May Is this season.
Mr. Schmltz gave perm ssion to the
Union County Stockgrowers' associa-

of the Blue mountains as requested
by j. L. Woodell, a committee sent
over to Walla Walla to present the
matter to the supervisor.
Under the agreement with the
Union county people they may enter

ing may be enjoyed by the cattlemen
of the east side until May 10, when
they must drive out and leave the
reserve vacant until June 10, at which
time the sheepmen TO whom 1t has
been allotted as summer range may
enter 1t with Their flocks.
The sheepmen claim that this early
grazing OF their summer range Will
be diminished. They will protest to
Mr.. Schmitz against this action and
hope to have him reconsider his ac-
ton in the interest of Umatilla coun-
ty people who are just entitled to
the use of this range.

QUICK INSURANCE RETURNS.
l.. Oldcnburg Receives Draft of $4,000

Although the d ckson residence
north of the river was burned but a
week ago, the insurance loss has been
adjusted already and today the pro-
prietor, l.. Oldenburg OF La Grande,
received a draft for $4,000 the full
amount of the insurance carried on

The insurance was carried in the
Phoenix company of Hartford, rep
resented by Colonel j. M. Bentley of
this city and Harvey Wells, a trav-
cling adjustor for that company, made
the settlement. Mr. Wells was de-
layed with another important matter

the wanner and brief time in which
the adjustment and payment have
been made.

THAW JURY is OUT.
Judge Dowling's Instructions VOlum-
inous But Fair 10 Both Sides.

New York Jan. S1.-After listen
ing to Judge Dowling's instructions,
the jury in the case Of Harry X.
Thaw retired for their deliberations
this morning at 1880.
Judge Dowling's instructions were
apparently fair, impartial and agree
able to both sides.
Justice Dowling's charge to the
jury was voluminous. II contained
1900 words. II warned the jury not
to consider the speeches of the at
torneys in deciding the verdict.
Nor should you be concerned in
the matter of punishment that fol-
lows a verdict of guilty" said the
judge.
Your sole function is to determine
If any crime has been committed and
its grade"
The court told the jury not to be
swayed by the evidence concerning
the character OF White or any spec
ulative doubt.

London, Jan. 31.-The special cor
respondent OF the United Press Is in
formed on high authority that the
Countess OF Yarmouth, formerly Alice
Thaw Of Pittsburg, will base her suit
against her husband on the ground
that he was married at the time he
went through the ceremony with her
In Pittsburg and that he is physically
unsound.
People who are familiar with the
facts believe that she will have no
difficulty In proving her charges. 1t
is known that the Earl underwent a
Scottish marriage ceremony with the
actress 10 years ago, the two simply
declaring themselves married as Is
valid In that country.
They afterward separated by mu-
tual consent and the woman died In
Paris some years ago
The case will be bitterly contested,
the earl having employed several OF
the best barristers in England to care
for his interests. If he loses the suit
he will again be poverty stricken.

The coaches which are cleaned here

The president also recommended
that a liability act providing a COM

THAT It is all wrong to use the in

Grape Shot for Wall Street
Certain wealthy men. whose con-

man of ordinary conscience, commit
the hideous crime of teaching our
young men that phenomenal success
must be based on dishonesty, have
during the last few months made it
that they have banded to-
gether for a reaction.
From railroad rate law to pure
food law, every measure for honesty
in business that has been passed dur
ing the last six years. has been op-
posed by these men and every re-
source that bitter and INSCRIPTIONS

against our policy.

The day crews which were former
ly employed in air inspection and
car repairing here have been great
ly reduced by reason of the change
in the car inspection and air inspec-
tion system on the mountain division.
All the trains on the mountain di-
vision now have the air inspected at
Umatilla and La Grande, the regu-
lar division points and so the repair
crew which was formerly maintained
here has been cut down and the ca,
cleaning crew greatly increased.
