debris, but escaped with some scratches
and bruises and impaired hearing.
Although systematic search has
been made by Sheriff Fitzpatrick and

no clue has been found TO the perpe-
traitor OF the deed. One man who is
charged with having said that Wells
v would he killed has been arrested.
General Wells took leading part in
the suppression OF labor troubles in

NORTH POLE IS SHIFTING.
Making America Warmer and Siberia
Colder.

Victoria, B. c., March 2S.-That the
north pole is shifting and the climate
is changing, making the Northern terri
tories of this continent warmer and
Norther Asia colder, s the theory to
support which Nose B. Cotworth, of
York, England, has been gathering evil
dence in Alaska, from where he has re-
turned on his way to England.
A curious effect of this change, it is
said. may be number of boundary
difficulties between Canada and the
United States, especially in the Eastern
portion. This boundary is fixed by
latitude, and if the north pole is really
moving, the latitudes change also, rem
dering it advisable that the boundary
be speedily marked everywhere by
permanent monuments, where it has
not yet been 90 marked already.
The movement, Cotworth says, is
caused by the immense accumulations
CT ice along the Canadian shore of the
Arctic ocean, and especially in Baffin's
land and Greenland.

HAS MODIFIED ITS RULING.
Interstate Commission Will Re. open
Portland Gateway.

VOTtlAnu SatcWdys
San Francisco, March 3O.-A tele-
gram was received at the general Office
of the Southern Pacific company in this
city today from Charles S. Fee, passen-
ger traffic manager, who is at present
in Chicago, announcing that the recent
action of the Interstate Commerce COM
mission, which was interpreted as clos
ing the Portland gateway and necessi-
tating higher passenger rate by the
Southern Pacific t. Seattle and other
Northern points, via Portland, has been
modified. The Objection of the COM
mission, it appears, Gblated only to the
manner of publishing through rates,
and revised tariffs conforming to the
commissions wishes will be issued as
soon as possible.
This new ruling will be received with
great satisfaction in Portland, which
was being adversely affected by the
higher passenger rates charged from the
East to, Seattle via Portland than were
charged to Seattle over the Great North
ern. The Southern Pacicfi is equally
pleased, for it has been known that it's
earnings and prestige have suffered by
the ruling which has now been modi
fed

CIosely Guard Adams.

Telluride, Colo, March 31.-As the
result of the attempt to murder Gene
raj Bulkley Wells, general manager OF
the Smuggler- Union mines and mills al
Pandora, Sheriff Fitzpatrick is taking
precautions to guard the Jail in which
Steve Adams, chargetwith the assass.
nation of Arthur L. Collins. General
Wells predecessor, is confined. The
feeling against Adams is becoming more
bitter from day to day.
Feeling against Adams has also been
engendered, it is said, because of the
fact that during the past two weeks full
ly score or more of miners and others
who were deported during strike days
have returned to the district.

SEND PAMPHLETS TO VOTERS
Secretary Benson Has Mailed 26, 900
Copies in Four Days.

Salem-In four days $4,000 copies Of
initiative and referendum pamphlets
have been mailed to registered voters
in Oregon by Secretary of State Benson
These pamphlets weighed over n
tens, filling 105 mail sacks, such as
are used for paper mail. The postage
was $3.50.
The work of sending out these
pamphlets is only one-quartef done,
however, for there will be at least
1905 registered voters in the state,
and each must receive copy. Secre-
tary Benson has five clerks engaged in
this work, addressing envelopes. put
ting in the pamphlets, sealing. etc.
They can send out about 5000 pamph-
let's day, and at the present rate will
have the work done in Is days, or by
the 18th of April, if the registration
lists reach the secretary fast enough.
In order to aid the postal clerks, Mr..
Benson is having the pamphlets put
into separate sacks for each commun-
jty, as far as possible, thus saving
handling in the postofice.

ORDER RATES CUT.
Commission Finds o. r. & N. Tolls
Are Excessive.


Portland, March Silt is under
stood the Oregon Railroad commission
will sustain the complaint of the Port
land chamber of commerce against the
o. R. & N. company and will issue an
order this week requiring material
reduction in class rates over the main
and branch lines of that road through
out the state.
The extent to which existing tariffs
will be affected by the ruling OF the
commission cannot be learned, but the
effect may be to disturb transcontinent-
al rates and, probably, to require an ad-
justment all along the line in the inter-
est both Of the railroad and the shipper
If the decision Of the commission is at
tackled by the Hartman interests it will
be assailed undoubtedly on the ground
that it's enforcement would necessitate
not only Wholesale revision by the
railroad of it's tariffs but would serious
ly disturb interstate business.
1t is expected that the findings of the
commission will be made the basis of
litigation on the part Of the railroad
company positively to test the powers
of the railroad commission which, un-
der the act by which it was created, is
authorized to fix rates. The members
of the commission were cautious and
thorough in their investigation of the
complaint Of excessive freight charges.
1t is said the commissioners feel conf
dent that their findings will be found
to be fair and reasonable and such as
cannot be considered an arbitrary exer-
else of the authority with which they
are clothed.

MESSENGER IS KILLED.
Robbers Then Loot Express Safes OF
valuables.

Newton, Kan, March 3l.-A. d.
Bailey, an express messenger of the
Wells Fargo company, was killed by an
unknown person on Santa Fe train No
lis, betWe cen Florence and Newton,
early Sunday morning. The murder
was very brutal, with robbery as the
object. Both the local and the through
safes were ransacked and at least ST.
900 in money and some jewelIy taken
The amount the robbers secured is not
known.
The dead body of Messenger Bailey
was found at o'clock Sunday morning
when the train reached Newton. 1t
was stretched on the floor OF the car,
the head beaten to pulp and lying in
a pool of blood. The back of the skull
was crushed and the end of the car
where it was lying was spattered with
blood. The plood spatters reached to
the ceiling.
There was no evidence Of any strug-
gle, the indications pointing to the
commission Of the murder while the
messenger was asleep, before he could
offer resistance. Bailey was seen alive
at Strong City. At Peabody someone
opened the car door just enough to
throw out package of waybills and
then closed it quickly.
The custom of the messenger has been
to go to sleep soon after leaving Flor.
ence and it is possible that he did this
Sunday night. After being struck
while sleeping, and rendered uncon.
scious, his body rolled to the floor, and
the robber, after beating him on the
head, covered it with the dead man 6
coat. One blow was struck at the
mans face with some sharp instrument,
apparently hatchet, which broke the
jaw bone. From the dead mans pock-
cts the keys were removed and the safes
ransacked. Then the keys were put
back into Bailey's overcoat, the coat
folded and put in his grip, where it
was found later.

OUAKES DESTROY
CITY OF CH|LAPA
Fire Consumes Ruins of Buildings
Immediately.
Great Fissures Made in Streets and
Open Fields-No ives Lost and
Perfect Order Prevails - Public
Buildings of the City Nearly All
Destroyed.

Mexico, City, March 28.-Chilapa, a
town of 10 900 inhabitants in the state
of Guerrero, has been shaken by an
earthquake and burned.
The shocks, two in number, occurred
early last evening and were followed
byIfre, which originating in dozen
places among the tumbling buildings,
joined in confagration that swept the
town.
Governor Damian Flores, chief exec
utive of the state of Guerrero, who is
at present in this city, had at o'clock
this evening just received the first Off
cial advices from Chilapa. The meg
sage says that, although a number of
the buildings Of the town were leveled
to the ground, no lives were lost. The
police quarters and 1.-The mayors Office
were destroyed and the Jail badly dam
aged. Great fssures were made in the
streets and open fields.
In the neighboring town of Ometepec
the Jail was destroyed and 80 prisoners
made their escape. Troops are guard
ing the public buildings that are stand
ing in Chilapa, but perfect order pre-
walls.
Later returns from Chilapa show,
however, that the dispatch received by
Governor Flores was ultra conservative.
The town was practically destroyed,
though no lives were lost. Most Of the
buildings that we're leveled were resi-
dences.
Thirty-four shocks have been record
ed during the past "a hours by the seis-
mograph, at the national observatory at
Tabuyaca. Most Of these shocks, how
ever, were imperceptible except to the
delicat needle of the instrument.

At 2 o'clock the men above the work
ings, the idle men in the homes and
the townspeople were startled by an
awful roar, followed by heavy boom
and the shaking of earth and trembling
of buildings.
All knew what had happened, and
there was rush to the mine. Both
entrances bad caved in. and the mine
timbers had been blown q eat distances
about the outside workings.
The second explosion was more severe
than the first, being felt in all parts OF
the town, and it is feared that 80 to &C

Weather Good for Farming.

Salem-Not for many years have the
farmers of this part Of the Willamette
valley had as favorable season as
this for fall and winter work. With
scarcely an exception all the farmers
got their plowing and seeding done in

spray ing orchards was favored by fair
weather during the winter. The out
look now is for excellent crops of all
kinds. The winter was q mild one and
livestock came through in fine condi-
ton, Notwithstanding the scarcity and
consequent high price of hay and mill
