POSTPONE the Affair.

The local knights Of Columbus, who
had practically decided to go to Mich
igan City Sunday, where their lodge
would be installed and number of new
members initiated, have now decided to
postpone the affair, because of the fact
that they are unable to get equipment
necessary for the work. A meeting was
held last night and the members are
just as enthusiastic to get the lodge
properly installed as ever. 1t may be
possible that when the time comes they
may be able to secure a speciai train

No Settlement In Strike.

AS yet, there has been no settlement
made in the carpenters strike, and
from present indications it promises to
be a long drawn out affair, as the mat
ter was not a question of wages or
hours, but a point on which the con-
tractors do not think they ought to
have been involved, therefore making
the matter doub1y hard to settle.

Strikers CryrConspiracy.

Montreal, Aug. PA formal state
ment issued today by Bell Hardy, chair
man of the federated trades of the
Canadian Pacific railway system,
charges that the strike of the past
three weeks, in which 5000 workmen
have been engaged, is due to conspir-
acy on the part of some of the officials
of the company to disrupt the unions
and drive the union men from the
company's employ. This conspiracy,
Hardy alleges, had its inception in
conferences held by the railway super
intendents and master mechanics early
in the present year.

ASKS REHEARING
OF REBATE CASE
Government Presents Petition to Cir.
cult Court of Appeals.
Should Decision Stand, Prosecution
of Future Cases Of Like Nature
Would Come to Naught, Argues
Attorney General-Would Nvllify
EIkins Law.

Chicago, Aug. 22.--Petitions for a
rehearing in the Standard Oil case
were presented by the Federal govern
ment in the Circuit Court of Appeals
here today. 1t is authoritatively stat
ed that this is the administration at
tempt to save the Elkins act and the
interstate commerce law from becom-
ing futile.
The filing of the petition marked the
appearance of Attorney General Bona
parte in the case as well as that of
Frank B. Kellogg, who is a special
assistant to the attorney general Be-
sides these two names the petition is
signed by Edwin w. Sims, United
States district attorney at Chicago,
and Special Assistant James H. Will
kerson, both of whom presented the
governments side of the case in the
original hearing before Judge Lands,
who administered the famous fine of
$29, 240, 900 against the defendant.
Although it is not specifically stated
in the petition, it was agreed by coun-
sci for the government in their con-
ference at Lenox, Mass, following the
reversal by the Appellate court of
Judge Lands decision, that if the in
depreciation of the law given by Judges
Grosscup, Seaman and Baker was al
lowed to stand, successful prosecution
of rebate cases against corporations
would be impossible in the future. The
lawyers at the conference, over which
the attorney general of the United
States presided, were a unit in express
ing the opinion that the reforms in re-
bate matters brought about by the
Roosevelt administration would repre-
sent 50 much loss Of time unless the
higher court can be convinced that it is
in error in the construction Of the law.

AVERT CLASH ON BORDER.
French and German Officers Cool
headed in Emergency.

french and German Officers Cool
headed in Emergency.
Paris, Aug. 24.-War between Germ
any and France was averted by the cool
headedness of French and Geruman
army officers in a dramatic frontier
episode which is reported from Lunes-
vile. Two German army corps are en-
gagged in maneuvers near the border
and yesterday morning battalion of
French rifles, marching out from Ram
bersvillers, approached within so yards
of the frontier and suddenly found it
self face to face with a German regi-
ment which was drawn up at an equal
distance on the other side.
The troops stood looking at each 9TH
er for moment without uttering a
word or giving vent to an explanation,
and then their respective commanders
simultaneously orderered them to face
about, and they We're soon at prudent
distance from each other.
A fine illustration of military discip-
line was given on both sides, as a cry
might have been the signal for serious
trouble

Suffers Butter Famine.

Tillamook-Despite the fact that
Tillamook is the main source Of supply
for dairy products for all parts of the
Northwest, locally it is now suffering
from an acute famine. For the past
few weeks it has been impossible for
the housewife to secure a roll Of butter
for culinary purposes. This eXtraor-
dinary phenomenon is accounted for by
the fact that Tillamook butter brings
fancy prices outside, and the manufac-
turer either finds it more profitable to
ship his goods, or else has his output
contracted for in advance, and the
home merchant must rely upon that Of
domestic manufacture for his supply.

Seeking Route for Line.

Eugene-Reports from the country
lying west of Eugene say that men rep
resenting the Carver railroad are at
work choosing a route for the road that
will bring it to Eugene before going
to the coast. 1t is known that Mr..
Carver's first plan was to build out in
to the timber belts and thus work to-
ward the coast, but since the project
was started the lumber business has
fallen off so that it will be necessary
for the road to depend on something
else for its freight. Thus it is consid
cred probable that the growing portion
of Western Lane will be tapped and
the road extended from Eugene through
the Siuslaw country to the coast.

ton, Oregon and California, and his idea

number of leading physicians of the
coast cities, as well health officers, have

Gold Near La Grande.

La Grande-The city of La Grande
is considerably stirred up over the al
pearance on the streets recently Of a
man carrying a sack Of gold ore which
he asserts he found on Mt. Emily, less
than 10 miles from the city, a peak
which overlooks the entire valley. The
ore exhibited gave every ev dence Of
being first class and of paying grade.
During the past 20 days he has been
prospecting on the mountain, and his
sack brought here is only part of h s
findings. Local men who own claims
in the vicinity of the hill will take
active steps to look into the rumor.

Cottage Grove Local Goes Into Ditch
Near Eugene.
Eugene, Or, Aug. 25.-Fireman
Frank Boulter and three unknown
tramps were killed, Engineer Jack
Nichols was fatally injured, and six
passengers were badly hurt in wreck
of the southbound Cottage Grove local
shortly after 8 O'Clock Sunday night,
four miles north of this city.
When two miles north of Irving,
the engine, going at schedule speed,
struck COW, which was on the track,
and turned turtle, landing in the ditch.
The baggage cars and passenger coach
es, pushing the tender ahead of them,
continued on the ties for rs feet until
the baggage car climbed on top of the
tender and stood on end. The impact
hurled three of the passenger coaches
from the track, only the last two re-
naming on the rails.
The wreck, from the standpoint of
destruction to rolling stock. is one Of
the worst in recent years in the South
ern Pacific in Oregon. The engine
and tender are a pile of scrap iron.
The rails and ties are torn up for dis
tance of rs feet, while the passenger
coaches and baggage car lie on their
sides in the ditch. The COW which
tried to cross the track and caused the
wreck was cut completely in two.

Turpentine From Stumps.

La Grande-That an excellent grade
of commercial turpentine can be made
from old pine stumps which literally
cover the Blue mountains, is the re-
markable discovery of w. E. Powell,
painter of this city, who is now per-
feet ng a process of extracting the
fluid from the stumps. Mr. Powell
has been offered large sums for his dis
covery, but so far has declined to sell
and will develop The industry himself.
He declares that an excellent grade of
turpentine can be secured from the pine
stumps of the logged-off lands, thous
ands of acres Of which lie accessible to
the railroad in all parts of Eastern
Oregon, and he believes that he has a
discovery which can be built into
handsome enterprise.

BOYCOTT is EFFECTIVE.
Japanese Liner Forced to Cross Pa
cific Without Cargo.

San Francisco, Aug. 22.-Proof of
the effectiveness of the Chinese boycott
on japanese goods was furnished today
when the japanese liner Hongkong
Maru arrived with no cargo.
Of Chinese passengers the Hong
kong Maru had only two. Eight took
passage at Shanghai, but the boycott
authorities heard about it and six were
persuaded to go ashore and wait for an
American liner. The other two were
allowed to remain on the vessel for
the reason that if they had awaited an
other vessel their registration tickets
would have expired before they arrived
here.
According to passengers on the
Hongkong Maru there is a great bust
ness depression in Japan, and number
of steamship companies are on the
verge Of bankruptcy.

thought the Hyades would not show up

and $3.50, 900 in gold dust.
