SHIPS FINNS TO NEVADA.
Labor Agent Takes Miners to Relieve
Shortage at Ely.


Ogden, Utah, Nov. 1.-Two carloads
of Firms, miners from the Lake Supe-
rior district, in charge of a boss on
their way to Ely, New, are looked up
on as the advance guard of a great
army of iron miners to be placed at
work in the mines of the Nevada Cop
per company. They are under contract
to work for $3.50 and board, a scale
much below the prevailing wages in
Ely, yet George C. Butler, who is di-
recting the party, anticipates no dem
onstration on the part of the union
miners when the Firms reach their des-
tination. Mr.. Butler explains they are
not strikebreakers, but are imported to
meet labor shortage.

IRRIGATION PROJECT.
Work to Commence at Once on Big
Klamath Undertaking.

klamath Falls--M. D. Williams,
county surveyor of Klamath county,
has gone to Lakeview to take charge
of the engineering work of the Valley
Land company for it's hugh irrigation
and colonization project in Lake, Kla-
math and Harvey counties.
The Valley Land company is the
successor of the Oregon and California
Land company. 1t has also acquired
the Drews valley reservoir site, owned
by the Hewitt Land company. The
company controls over 100000 acres
that it proposes to irrigate, and to
colonize under the contract and auc-
tion bid system, recently tried with
great success in the San Luis valley in
California. r. j. Martin, pre- sident
of the company, states that about s.
600 contracts have already been sold,
and that the opening will be held in
September Of 1909.
Work will be begun Immediately, as
the undertaking is large one, calling
for several large dams for the storage
of water and many miles of canal.
The first land put under irrigation
will be $4,000, acres on the west
side of Goose lake. 1t is expected
these lands will have water by 1910.
Lake and Harvey counties have
thousands of acres of land wanting
only water to make them productive,
and that region promises great devel-
opments in the next few years, both in
colonization and in railroad building.

note of the English colony of New
York, issued February 16, 1771, 1877
years ago and before the declaration

the figures of his experts, who have
informed him that if the city is obli-

pay over something like $39, 900.
Comptroller Metz has asked the cor

TROOPS FIRE ON REBELS.
Turkish Rebels Quickly Subdued by
Single Voley,

Constantinople, Nov. "A threat
ened outbreak on the part of a com
pany of Turkish troops attached to the
garrison at the Yildiz Kiosk was
promptly put down this morning with
a single volley from a loyal battalion.
Three of the mutineers were killed or
wounded.
The murderous spirit manifested it
self when the company was assembled,
which threatened for a few moments
to result in serious trouble. Hurry
orders were issued and battalion from
regiment recently brought in from
Salonica was marched to the scene and
one volley sufficed to COW the mutin-
eers. The rebellious troops were un-
der orders to leave for the provinces,
but they refused to depart, withdrew
to field near the barracks and defied
their officers. The battalion from
Salonica which was drafted into the
capital especially because the men,
who are stanch supporters of the con-
stitution, was ordered to attack the
rebels. They fired one volley, with the
result above set forth, after which the
mutineers surrendered and were made
prisoners. Later they were drawn up
on the public square, tied together and
exhibited to the assembled troops and
as rebels who had broken their military
oath. This prompt suppression is ex
pected to have sautary effect on the
remainder of the Yildiz Kiosk garri-
son, which is suspected of being antag-
)nistic to the constitution.

Non-Breakahle Car Wheel.

Chicago, Oct 31.-A new kind of
car wheel, the secret of which is being
jealously guarded by the manufactur-
ers, is being turned out at the works
of the Standard Steel company. The
new wheel is said to be of pressed steel

No Race Suicide at Baker Citv.

Baker City-The city records show
the greatest number of new babies in
Baker this fall of any year since the
city was Incorporated. While Baker

number of baby cabs at every public
gathering, this seasons crop is re-

county is proven to be not the only
way of adding to the population. Each

Balkan Situation.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 3.-Interest ir
the Balkan situation is centered in
the positive statements of several pre-
liminary leaders that Russia has deter
mined to drop the idea of the proposed
international congress and will refuse
to recognize the annexation by Austria
Hungary of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This information, although purporting
to be from official sources, is not en-
tirely exact. Russia has finally COM
mitted herself to the principle that the
question of the annexation of the pro-
vinces may be discussed in confer
ence of the powers. Austria will per-
nit the status of Bosnia to be included
in the program, but only on the condi-
tion that the delegates will refrain
from questioning her action and con-
tent themselves with registering the
abrogation of the article referring to
this matter in the Berlin treaty. The
foreign office states that the negotia-
tions between Russia, Austria Hungary
and other powers on this question are
still in progress, and considers that an
acceptable formula for submission to
the congress may ultimately be found.
It is difficult, however, to foresee how
A satifactory agreement may be
'eached without one side or the other

BROWNS PUSSIES Open SEASON
With two GAMES.

lODS the Indians 4 to ). Spokane
Fans Admit Superiority of Browns
Ball Team.

SPOKANE, April 1S.-When the
heavy black clouds cleared at noon
Spokane fans We're jubilant, but they
were greatly depressed later in the
afternoon, after Aberdeen had rolled
up a score of s against the Indians
2, and a crowd of 5000 people came
treking wearily back to town. The
game was ragged, especially in the
first half, and Aberdeen made four
runs in the first inning, with two
men out. Jensen was hit hard in the
first and third innings. Spokane was
plainly outclassed, for not only has
Aberdeen a better team than last
year, but they play better ball and
their team work is the incest seen
here in some years.
Spokane played fairly good field
ing game, but was slow at times,
while Aberdeen was like well-oiled
machine and showed up finely. The
first Aberdeen batter struck out and
the next was easy, from Mackin to
Hulen, but it was here that the fire.
works started. Five hits, a passed
ball, an error and fielder's choice
which did not kill anyone were re-
sponsible for five runs. Errors of
omission and not commission were
mostly responsible for the runs Abb
erdeen did not get through it's clout-
ing of the ball.
Aberdeen showed up strong both
at the bat and in the field, and looks
even better than last year. Roberts,
the youngster, is formibale at the
bat. Streib is playing sensational
ball, and Fitzgerald seems better
than ever. Moore looks sweet at
second.
SPOKANE, April 19.-An i'm
mense crowd witnessed the second
game between Spokane and Aberdeen
this afternoon, and saw as pretty a
game of baseball as was ever put UP
on the grounds. 1t was anybody's
game all the way through, but Abb
erdeen pulled out with the score OF
4 to 3.

WILL FURNISH BONDS.
Lumbermen Of county Divide Into
Three Groups and Give Bonds
Pending Decision.

The lumber manufacturers of the
Grays Harbor country held an i'm
portant meeting in this city Thursday
nigki st which representatives from
practically every mill in the entire
district from Elma west were present.
The meeting was called to make
arrangements to comply with Fed
eral Judge Hanford's new ruling in
the lumber-railroad bond controversy
which goes into effect next Monday.
1t was decided to create three
groups-one to be known as the
Elma group, which comprises the
manufacturers of Elma and Monte
sano; the Aberdeen group to consist
of the mills at Cosmopolis, Junction
City and Aberdeen, and the Hoquiam
group, including all the mills west
of Aberdeen.
The Fidelity e Deposit company of
Maryland has been selected as the
bonding agent for each group. Under
the courts ruling, the minimum
bond in each group must be $4,000,
and each group will appoint trustee
to have charge of the funds
The manufacturers in each group
put up bonds for each mill, in ac-
cordance with the amount of its
product shipped by rail, and the
amount of the bonds in the different
groups will be as follows: Elma,
$40, Aberdeen, $4,000; Ho-
quiam, 100000. Each group will
create a sinking fund wherein each
member will deposit the difference
between the 40 and 50-cent rates
within twenty-four hours after max
ing shipment, paying in cash or by
certified check to the trustee named
for each group.

ROAD NEEDS REPAIRS.
Aberdeen -Montesano Road Should Be
Scraped and Rolled, and Put in
Order for travel.

One of the most important high
ways in the county is the twelve
mile stretch of road built last year
between this city and Aberdeen, it
being the only means of vehicle
traffic between the eastern and west
ern end of the county and, while it
is in fairly good condition now, it
could be made much more passable by
being thoroughly scraped and rolled,
to even up the surface and do away
with the ruts that have been cut by
travel during the wet season.
The county commissioners, with
the aid of the state highways COM
mission, have succeeded after twenty
years effort, in getting this road
built and with a little care and some
small expense for maintenance it can
be kept in excellent shape. By scrap
ing and rolling it now, it would wear
smooth and even during the entire
summer and its convenience would be
| taken advantage OIL ny LHe ldIlueIS
and gardeners in all the eastern end
of the county to reach the harbor
markets with their produce, as well
as by the constantly increasing auto
travel on its way to Aberdeen, Ho-
quiam and the seashore.
AS an illustration Of the speed that
can be made over it, even in it's pres
ent rough condition, DR.. F. l.. Carr
and several of his guests made the
trip in his big car Wednesday even
ing from Montesano to Hoquiam in
an hour, and this could be beaten if
the road was surfaced off.
The commissioners are planning to
make this road forty feet wide, but
it will be necessarily be some time
before this improvement can be fin
ished. To overcome the present diff
Guilty of passing, it would be an easy
matter to cut regular turning out
places along the route and these con-
veniences would answer every pur-
pose until the work of widening the
road can be completed.
Now that the road is built ii
should be kept in the best possible
condition for public use.-Vidette.

SHEEKS Endorsed
FOR SUPERIOR JUDGE BY COUNTY
Bar ASSOCIATION.
Sentiment in Favor OF a New Judae
Is Rapidly Growing. Sheeks Al
most the Unanimous Choice of
the Working Bar. irwin Nay Not
Enter Race.

At called meeting of the che
halls Bar Association Saturday spe-
cially to discuss the matter of en-
dorsing a candidate for the office of
superior judge, held in city hall, Ben.
Sheeks. the we'll known attorney of
this city, was unanimously chosen as
the man best equipped for the posi-
tiOn-and that is the only requisite
in the mind of reputable attorney.
The meeting was called to order
by E. E. Shields, in the absence of
President Hutcheson, and w. w.
BOner acted secretary. The name OF
Ben. Sheeks was presented by J. c.
Hogan, and, no opposition being
named, he was declared the unani-
nous choice of the association.
The bar association has thirty
eight members on the roll, about
thirty of whom are actively engaged
in practice. OF this number twenty
two are known to favor Judge
Sheeks. Although most of them feel
kindly toward Judge Irwin, they ap-
pear to have good and sufficient rea-
sons to desire change on the bench,
and the ill-health of the present in
cumbent may result in his retirement
from the race.
Attorney w. H. Abel, with his we'll
known methods, is leading a fight to
retain Irwin, and, in sort of frantic
effort, is trying to inject all kinds Of
issues into the contest for judge. The
card he is using just now is to line
up the anti-cOunty division forces
against Sheeks, and he has secured
some support from few chronic
political soreheads in Hoquiam and
the east end of the county, which,
if the people were foolish enough to
permit him to hold together, would
be the cause of one of the raciest
campaigns yet known in Chehalis
county, campaign that would bring
upon either Mr.. Abel or his candi-
date. 1t is with full knowledge of
the facts, that many personal friends
of Judge Irwin would prefer to see
him drop out of the contest, and
take the rest his health demands.
This Attorney Abel-who is gen.
orally regarded as sort of political
pirate-always enjoys having to do
with making judges. On the night
of the republican county central COM
mittee meeting in this city, he went
to a couple of we'll known republican
leaders and DEMANDED that they
support Irwin for superior judge,
Root and Crow (the two lame ducks
on the supreme bench) for supreme
judges and r. H. Mckay for police
judge of Aberdeen. The demand was
accompanied by threats of political
extinction that required consider
able courage to deny, albeit it is sur
prising that an attorney who poses
as democrat could hope to eXtin-
guish republican politician-but,
as Rudyard Kipling would say, that
is another story.
